    Is HW 4.0 camera good enough for dashcam function or better use other dashcam?

    Not necessarily. If you buy an endurance microSD card that is ment for many re writes, it will last a long time. I still have the first one I bought 5 years ago when I got my model 3 (in 2018) and Its still being used for dashcam with no issues.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Really, just the fact that my car is paid off, and there is nothing wrong with it. I always ask myself the following question, when I am trying to evaluate something like this: "would I pay the price difference to put all the new stuff in my own car, if I could do that?" In other words, the...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I came close to ordering this new model 3P myself, and there is zero (nothing) wrong with my 2018 Model 3P. it only has 48k ish miles on it, and has been virtually problem free as far as mechanical issues go (and its paid off). Even with that, I came close to ordering one of these new ones.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I know this is a somewhat sidebar conversation but on this topic I think you would have to be VERY patient, and wait for the right buyer. I would think you would have a bunch of issues even convincing most buyers of what your car actually is. Every tesla forum / website will tell a...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah they had the red underline in the software. I always completely ignore vehicle external badging as it relates to telling what a car is, because that can be and often is faked. As for "sold with no badges" that was at least every model 3 Performance sold in 2018 (mine was picked up the...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I would be careful with that. On the previous purchase agreements, it was specifically spelled out that changing your order could be subject to current pricing. No idea if they follow through with that, but I would definitely be careful.

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I see it all the time (blue) but thats probably because my own model 3 is blue, and you notice cars in the type and color of your own. I see blue way more than red, but I dont really like red cars so that probably factors into it. I know I said I dont like red cars but that ultra red does look...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That isnt what the "Stealth" was. The Stealth was when Tesla made some model 3 Performance cars without some of the standard features for the car. No one upgraded a "Stealth" through Tesla. The model 3 performance came standard with something called the performance upgrade package (this was a...

    Single Phase home best charging options

    Since charging options (and electrical codes) can be specific to the country the car is in, I would suggest posting your question in the Australia subforum, since you have "perth" under your name as your location. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/forums/australia.129/

    Plaid S or Highland Model 3 Performance

    This is like asking: "Strawberries or Pineapples -- Which one and why" or "Beef or Chicken -- Which one and why" Without some qualifications on what you are after / prefer, the question itself is pretty meaningless.

    Have anyone seen @zilla91?

    Is it really a thing where if someone isnt on this site for roughly a week, a bulletin needs to be put out for them to see if they are ok? In any case, the member you mention has been on TMC after the date you mentioned.

    Discussion: All Season Vs Summer Tires

    No worries. I mean, the root point of "its a compromise" is true. The issue here in this discussion is first how it was stated (which was) "if you want to hamstring your ......" In that usage, hamstring means " to cripple", and good all seasons are shown to be only 2-4% different, even by the...

    Discussion: All Season Vs Summer Tires

    FSD on older Model3s

    Every single thread on FSD turns into a !#$!@ show. As for the question, I dont think its much different than on any other Tesla that can run the latest FSD (meaning with hardware 3.0.

    Has anyone fed TWO 200amp subpanels from ONE 200amp disconnect using ONE Gateway?

    Probably not unless you disconnect from the grid, as I think the powershare setup is only off grid (meaning i think its only designed to be used when off grid / grid down).

    Got transferred for work & will def go over mileage with new commute

    No idea if you have an option to pre buy more miles, but there really isnt any reason to. Just drive your miles and pay for them at the end, at whatever the agreed upon rate for overages is. Neither of those are currently an option. No idea if Tesla will change stance on this but as of right...

    Looks like I can’t have the PG&E plan E1, that’s a problem

    Solar installs are construction projects for each individual house. Whats normal for your house needs to be looked at over time (at your house). You cant compare it to anyone else, and you dont have any historical data to compare it to yet.

    Based price in invoice

    it shows as 47990 directly on that invoice you have. Your invoice is 50990, and you have 2k for the 7 seat interior, and 1k for black and white interior. so, subtract 3k from 50,990, and you get 47,990. How its broken down on the invoice really doesnt matter to us as buyers. Its likely...

    Model S no battery

    I have always thought of this type of question as one of those "if you have to ask the question, its probably not the right thing for you to be doing" type things. Meaning, plenty of people buy cars like this and fix them up, but a person asking questions about the process is probably not the...

    Im going to leave this for now, but just as a note, we dont allow cross posting the same content in multiple subforums here on TMC. As you mentioned, you made the same post in the model Y subforum. I understand why (which is why I am not deleting it at this particular time) but as a rule we...

    PowerShare for All Teslas & Integration - speculation

    Sure, people WANT it, people have been bringing up some form of "V2X" for years, trying to speak it into existence. As far as those articles, I dont pay any attention at all to anything from electrek as I have no respect for that site at all. The other two are decent, at least to me, but are...

    long term parking

    At home I park in my garage, and at work we have a gated access workplace so I dont use sentry in either place. I use it when I go to the grocery store, out to eat, Doctors offices, etc. Usually between 30 minutes and 2 hours tops, at any given time.

    My last BMW, a 435 "m-sport" had 16 BMW M badges on it (I counted them in amusement shortly after taking delivery of that car in 2016). Anyone familiar with BMWs will tell you that "BMW enthusiasts" have been complaining for years about "dilute the badge". The BMW I had before that, was a 335...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    The BMW X3 M runs neck and neck with a BMW M3. I am sure there are other examples. The fact that a cyberbeast truck might run faster 0-60 than some versions of a 911 does not mean that there is an issue with 911s. Not that I am saying a model 3 performance is a 911 but this argument is...

    PowerShare for All Teslas & Integration - speculation

    I havent seen anything that states powershare would be available for all Teslas. In fact its not possible with current Teslas as none of them have bi directional ports except the cybertruck. There is already a thread for powershare on cybertruck.

    Buying a used Tesla and I have concerns.

    I wouldnt buy that car in the condition shown. I would also escalate to them about seeing if they could move my deposit to another vehicle, as some of the things are excessive. Of course, the way Tesla sells used cars (without pictures etc) is a non starter for me, for just this reason. New...

    long term parking

    The car definitely could have been designed so the recording could happen, without the car being awake, and the computers on. It wasnt.
  44. J

    long term parking

    If it was just that, I dont think it would be as much power as it is. The car simply was not designed with sentry mode as an option. Sentry mode prevents the car from going to sleep, so the entire car is awake.
