I may be able to help, what is your Referral Code?

I expected 25 to 30k as I am a freeway runner in the M3P. I rotated every 5 to 10k and at 49k had cords showing in the inside edges of both fronts indicating a toe-in setup from the factory. I ordered the same Tesla OEM tires last week, hoping for good luck again here on the mileage.

Last week I parked next to a Y, weird that it was the same color here...

Once or twice a month I will take my M3P above 100, there are areas I drive where it can be done. Last week I took a long sweeper at 120, very fun. I have taken it to 145. Most of my experience with high speed is on performance street motorcycles. So anyway my opinion is the M3P handles...

Make sure you drive both the 3 and the Y before you decide! No bias here but you better check em!

I too have had many cars, some very fast, and am a gear head/mechanic. I always really wanted a 911, love the look, feel and performance of that awesome car. In Fall 2018 I was ready to buy a Model S and at the last visit I decided it would be dumb to not test drive the Model 3. I had driven...

Thank you Tesla. This is so impactfull to the mission!

I wonder if Tesla is going to allow Rivian to charge within the Supercharger network? This would complete the pie for Rivian. Honestly an electric car without a charging network is handicapped. I drove 1900 miles last week in my Model 3, only with the network!

Haha, I remember being alarmed by these sounds. I've now got 30k miles on my car, the battery makes noises sometimes, no big deal. If it were totally rigid with no flex then that would not be good.

I am buying more stock. 3 to 5 year hold, no problem.

I sure hope so. I am having many moments where I have to really slow down, people take it wrong when you beep at them. I want a nice, happy unassuming R2D2 sound, like this:

R2D2 sound please!!!

Well I just read that Model 3's are being shipped with pedestrian sounds built into the horn! Nice work Elon Musk :) My car was built in 2018, I wonder/hope I can retrofit. I am daily having dangerous situations in parking lots, just yesterday a lady walked right in front of my car. I am...

Looks like an overweight Model 3! :D

Not sure if you are joking? Adaptive means the cruise will track the speed of the car in front. It is not enabled on the non-AP Tesla. My car does not have auto pilot. Like every other $50k vehicle IN THE WORLD has adaptive cruise.

They would have me at a lower price as well, so I guess I would play.:rolleyes: AP at $2000, FSD at $(I'm not sure). I thought this car would have adaptive cruise, my only disappointment with the purchase.

My feeling is the same as yours, I will not play (pay). Elon is so inconsistent in many respects, wearisome for those who are paying close attention. He sometimes reminds me of Trump. The amazing product makes me forgive/ignore his flakyness.

Very bold of them, VW is going there too. VW stock is a BUY. All this because of one man, whoa Elon...

This is exceptional news. Everyone has been waiting for the Gigafactory 4 news and here it is. Any guesses on when EuroGig will be up and running? How about 36 months? My TSLA stock is going to be amazing in three to five years, I am buying more soon!

Did you put it on the glass?

Does the ceramic coat go on the glass also? So much glass here

Anyone else notice the Model 3 car horn takes like 5lbs of pressure to push? You have to punch it. I miss my 1973 Datsun pickup horn button. That thingy was light, you could talk with that button!

Here is a video showing what I need. another project for me... bleh :cool:

Nice post here. I did not know that about the Volt. I always liked the Volt

Every time I pull out of my driveway I'm blind to possible approaching kids etc. Our neighborhood has skateboarders, bikers... all of it. They are doing nothing wrong, I need a manual chime. Parking structures are particularly dangerous. 3 years ago a 20 year old was struck and killed by a...

Thanks for this info, I did not know any of this. I checked my Model 3, it does not have the speaker mount. Build date is 9/2018.

I have been driving my Tesla for 15k miles now and have noticed a serious safety issue. When I pull out of my driveway the car is so silent pedestrians and bicyclists do not hear the vehicle. It is the same in parking structures. This could easily be solved with a chime button that would...

I loved and was ready to buy the Model S 75D and decided it would be prudent to test drive the Model 3 before pulling the trigger. It took 5-min (Oct 2018) to convince me to love the Model 3 more. The Model 3 seating position is more comfortable than the S, and you can see out of the car...

Wow, 52 years old and still learning. Thanks Joe!

Did you guys know the factory torque spec on the lugs is 129 ft lbs. That is crazy tight. I will be putting on anti-sieze compound on the threads. I have wheel lock lugs on each wheel at 90 ft lbs as I don't trust them to be ok @ 129. Bill

Lol, it will extend your lifespan! I will wait for the $2k price to pull the trigger

ditto

Wow thanks for the great post, exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for on this string! I wanted to comment on a few of your points. Re AP: When I bought the Tesla I thought I was going to want to drive the car and that I would not really want AP. I found I was definitely wrong...

No need to be rude Trevor, here is why I said this. I have noticed that sometimes after a long driving day some of my cars don't accelerate as hard. I am prone to accelerating hard on on-ramps etc and have noticed this. 8-10 hours of hot day driving with AC on etc, it is real. In the past I...

wow, many trolls...

You guys are getting off track here. Looking for input from sales people who are in the Model 3. Any other sales people using the Model 3 out there? Please post your thoughts on the gas verses electric comparison.

I am still buying Tesla stock because I don't believe the future profits from the Semi and Y are built into the stock price yet. The Semi is incredible and could be even better. My friend is a trucking company CEO and my brother is an OTR driver, I am connected to this industry. Elon's "all...

Yes that reminds me that when I test drove the Model 3 I remember thinking "this thing handles like a Porsche". I finally got my Porsche

I am a total gear head. I must have the best/fastest. it is not a rational decision :)

Any other sales people using the Model 3 out there? Please post your thoughts on the gas verses electric comparison. My sales job requires long drives, 8-12 hour drives are common. I bought the P3D but did not pay the $5k extra for Autopilot because I thought it was worth only $2500 and I...

I was sold on a Model S and was ready to pull the trigger Oct 2018. I decided to test drive the Model 3 basically right before I was going to buy an S and within 5 min of the drive I knew the Model 3 was for me. It was: more comfortable better vision out the windows more nimble felt faster...

Actually there was drama. On one turn Randy got too much into the corner and you can hear the right rear violently bottom out. Look at his face, he knew he bent the rim. That was not good.

Randy Pobst says the staggered tire setup (wider rears): bad for understeer. It needs a square setup for the track

I too have had many awesome cars/motorcycles and am blown away by my P3. The Tesla has just ruined every other car for me, everything else seems lame. This happened so quick, very strange to not really get charged over the hot car passing by. I am not really a car guy anymore. Boy am I glad...

I notice when I use my Iphone 6s (in a call) paired with the car speakers the sub woofer automatically turns off, to improve the audio in a call I bet. Sometimes it glitches; when the call is ended and you turn music back on the sub woofer will not turn back on. The system plays the music but...

Wow, I had not thought of that. A Model 3 Wagon, that would be cool.

I think the look of the pickup is critical to the success. When they launched the S, X and 3 the look of the cars was good, the pickup rendering is abnormal compared to an F150

I can't believe no one is commenting on the look of this pickup

I too have been using a 5x9 utility trailer instead of buying a truck. I pull this with my wife's Dodge Magnum SRT8, it works great. I don't think my Model 3 is setup for a hitch system like the Model S or X (i wish). My wife and I were already thinking of buying the Tesla Pickup to replace...

I think they are going to do EVERYTHING they can to make Model 3 a hit. If I didn't buy my Model 3 I would have bought a 75D. Now that is not really an option when buying new, the 75D is no longer a competitor to Model 3.
