    Firestone alignment damaged rim

    That definitely looks like curb rash... Why would you let Firestone touch your car anyway? If it needs alignment take it to Tesla SC...unless your out in the sticks somewhere. The damage has absolutely nothing to do with an alignment machine BTW.

    Eibach Releases Performance Pack Lowering Springs

    Show the squatty rear with the reverse rake. Reverse rake makes the the car look like it’s doing a max launch from a stop while not really moving. Why Eibach dropped the rear and slammed it like that in the rear is really strange. Unless I wanted to go for the two 300 pound biggies in the...

    16.2 Near Collision w/ Auto Lane Change

    Wrong. First...I’ve had my car nearly COMPLETE a lane change...without any issue a NORMAL driver would be concerned with, only to abort the change and jerk suddenly back into the original lane. This is happens now more frequently that in the past. I care what other drivers think because I do...

    16.2 Near Collision w/ Auto Lane Change

    Good video. The lane change is way too TENTATIVE...unlike the rest of the car, lane change is now idiotically stupid. The car will make a near PERFECTLY timed lane change only to jerk spastically back into the original lane. Not only is this potentially unsafe it makes you appear like a...

    Eibach Releases Performance Pack Lowering Springs

    “Reverse Rake” The look you go for that tells all others that see you that you are going fast...really fast.....In Reverse. :)

    Eibach Releases Performance Pack Lowering Springs

    LOL...that rear looks totally slammed! .5 “ less in back would be better. Reverse rake looks worse than a little more wheel gap. The reverse rake squatting rear end looks like someone’s transporting some serious pork. Uncle Jessie and Cletus 300 pounders riding in back on a Mickie D’s run...

    Eibach Releases Performance Pack Lowering Springs

    Sorry...but I’m just not feeling that mod. Reverse rake looks awful to me and it would be EXTREMELY annoying to have to be careful going down driveways so that you aren’t dragging trim pieces. It just looks bad to me as well. Your car looks great aside from that...the low rider look with the...

    More paint issues

    The car is wrong for you. Try something else more suited to your personality type. Get a nice Audi or BMW. Tesla is incredible but you are not a good fit.

    More paint issues

    Zero flaws. Paint perfect...no dents or dings. Spent 2 hours and a checklist before accepting the car. Took the car straight to detailed for paint correction and full PPF. Wonderful car. Spoiler looks freaking awesome wrapped in Matt PPF .... car is incredible.

    Eibach Releases Performance Pack Lowering Springs

    Get the two 300 pounders out of the back seats and it would look cool. Low rear doesn’t look good.

    Watching people making poor car choices

    Any EV is better than ICE garbage. The sooner we all make the switch to cleaner tech the better. It looks gross to see old tech cars with essentially smoke stacks sticking out the back spewing out pollution. Not acceptable in 2019

    BMW i8 same price as Model 3

    The interior of the BMW i8 looks like the inside of a coffin where they lay to rest old dead people.

    BMW i8 same price as Model 3

    BMW i8 = YUK. Not good looking at all to me. P3D....so much better. BMW = suckage

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    Third spoiler install attempt and result was perfect. Also had the dual motor red underline badge installed. Looks great. Very very pleased. Spoiler is extremely nice...looks sweeeeeeeet.

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    I’ve made two trips to SC so far and both spoilers they tried to mount lifted. The spoilers are garbage. Probably better to wait a bit to see if they can sort it out or find another supplier. Totally ridiculous. A freaking spoiler shouldn’t be this hard to implement.

    Accident while on EAP...

    I haven’t experienced any phantom braking for the last 3 OTA updates. Pretty solid. I do occasionally still get the nervous Nellie second though lane change abort. 8.3 didn’t seem as solid in general as the prior OS. Just received 8.4 but I haven’t driven with it yet. The 5% HP boost in...

    Accident while on EAP...

    I think you’re exactly right. Foot on accelerator overrides TACC braking. I had an issue the other day that I was ready to blame on the car but it was my operator error. I was in AS and the car came to a stop behind traffic at a light. After the stop the AP went wonky with an error alert so...

    Traded in C7 Z06 for M3P

    I ditched my 2016 F80 BMW M3 and I don’t miss it at all. P3D is so much nicer. Acceleration from a stop is sick, FSD is awesome, comfort incredible, Track mode and it’s an EV! Bye bye BMW.

    Tesla Model 3 initial impressions (and compare to. BMW 5-series)

    You’ve got to be kidding....right? BMW exclusive??? LMAO. The 5 looks like an old persons sedan that was designed back in the 90s. BMW exclusive....HA HA HA. I never felt I was driving an “exclusive” car when I had my 2016 F80 M3 BMW...PSSSttttttttt... $70 grand doesn’t buy exclusive......it...

    Tesla Model 3 initial impressions (and compare to. BMW 5-series)

    I don’t know where you live but in my neighborhood BMWs are a dime a dozen. BMWs are like Kias....actually I see more BMWs and Audi’s than Honda’s or Toyota’s. A Tesla gets much more attention if that’s what you’re after. Many many of the BMW and Audi drivers are lusting after Tesla’s...I...

    Tesla Model 3 initial impressions (and compare to. BMW 5-series)

    I came over to Tesla from a 2016 F80 BMW M3....I consider Tesla to be a superior brand over BMW. My P3D with FSD is so much better than the BMW that it’s not even a fair comparison. The BMW feels like a dinosaur compared with the Tesla. Having been a BMW fanboy prior to Tesla ownership I can...

    Sentry Mode

    Thanks for the info. I haven’t experienced the green screen yet. Definitely have the delayed activation of back up cam on reverse though.

    Sentry Mode

    Interesting. I haven’t noticed this but I have noticed that my back up camera is slow to start up when I select reverse now. First black screen then 10 seconds later it actually comes on. Also with the latest update Tesla changed functionality of the forward USB ports....I had to change out...

    Sentry Mode

    Did you get an El Cheapo storage card. I got a 100Gig highly rated one...didn’t think cheap or low storage was the way to go go this. Is it your cam(s) or a data corruption memory card issue?

    Doesn’t matter...you call Tesla and request they send you the footage.

    Thinking About Selling Camaro SS 1LE For a Model 3

    I ditched my 2016 BMW F80 M3 for my P3D and it was easy. The 340 BMW is a Meh car but the F80 M3 was pretty nice until the P3D came along. The Tesla makes the BMW feel like an ancient dinosaur. No comparison....much quicker, much much much better tech and better looking. Used to like exhaust...

    Tesla Model 3 Tint Feedback?

    Make sure the shop you pick does the rear window in one piece. I did the roof too and am extremely glad I did otherwise I would have been unsatisfied and had to take the car back in to have it done. The tinted roof is awesome.

    Jeda/Nomad Wireless Charging alternatives on Amazon

    Just got my Jeda 2 wireless pad and it’s awesome. Shipping took 2 days and the packaging and product are TOP rate. Tesla should contract with them to provide for the car as OEM. Product is gorgeous and extremely high quality. Left usb to pad and right usb to splitter to right side of pad...

    Your over usage of quotes is epic. Try reading a post and then forming a condensed response without making use of the quote feature 20 times thus creating a post that’s 10 pages long. Not hard.

    P3D Highway Passing Speed.

    The Mercedes was NOT RACING AGAINST A P3D......DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. Dude...what’s with the 3 page quotes.... the direct meaningful comparison was the Porsche GT2RS lined up with a F1 driver against a normal dude driving a stock P3D. The Porsche is dealing with the same exact conditions as...

    P3D Highway Passing Speed.

    Cold wet pier...??? The guy jumps in the waterI don’t think it was too cold. The VBOX video doesn’t show an actual race against a P3D so it’s not relevant. The video in fact shows a Porsche GT2RS, one of the fastest cars that Porsche makes, getting spanked by a P3D. AWD vs...

    RWD or AWD drive?? REALLY?? LMAO. Ok...Porsche GT2 RS a nearly 300K car has published 0 to 60 mph stats of 2.6 seconds.....this is faster than the POS old dinosaur AMG e63 Merc. Guess what ..... the Porsche GT2 RS lost a race to 100 kph.....62 mph to a P3D that was still pulling on the...

    P3D Highway Passing Speed.

    PS. The P3D is so much quicker than ANY Mercedes from a stop that if it wants the The Tesla P3D will blow your POS Mercedes into the weeds. From a stop if I want the lane or anything ahead of your antique Dino mobile it’s mine and there isn’t a thing you can do about it. It’s actually a cool...

    P3D Highway Passing Speed.

    Ditched my 2016 F80 BMW M3 after taking my P3D+. Bought the Tesla sight unseen and un-tested but after 30 minutes realized that the BMW was an old tech dinosaur. Some people equate lots of knobs, switches and levers with luxury...I associate them with poor ergonomics and pain in the ass to...

    Feedback from BMW or other premium brand converts?

    Had a 2026 F80 BMW M3...bought my P3D+ FSD EAP sight unseen and no test drive. The Tesla is in another league. BMW F80 sounds like a fart machine on a cold start. The Tesla is much much much quicker and handles better. The F80 DCT is herky jerky and the BMW traction control has the car doing...

    problems in the European delivery hell

    Lots of cry babies. Chill. Everyone is excited as well they should be. Model 3 delivery is just BEGINNING in Europe. Cut Tesla some slack. Trust me...the car will be well worth the waiting and little frustration you may have. The car is extremely popular and when you take it home and it’s...

    Just bought Model 3 LR AWD - want a performance

    Sold my 2016 F80 BMW M3.... my Tesla P3D looks better, handles better and is much quicker than the F80. AWD puts down the power whereas the fat arsed BMW traction control would be spastically trying to hold it together. The BMW sucks compared to the Tesla. Also...the interior of the Tesla...

    Group Buy Poll for Mono-Block Forged Alloy Wheels by Titan 7

    It’s just that the 19s and 18s with the high profile thick sidewall rims look like rubber baby buggy bumpers. It really detracts from the sporty looks of the car.

    P 3 spoiler

    No hurry for me. I wanted to do a full Suntek PPF wrap and the spoiler and badging needs to come off anyway. This makes it easier and now the car is done and ready for when the spoiler and badging come in for install.

    Sunk-in hood

    No way I’d go for that. The red is a very special and expensive multi coat color. Would want painted hood.
