Starting my 50s because age has a lot to do with this question. Have a M3P but wouldn’t do it again. Impractical for the price, bought in full. Sitting in the garage to become my kids’ car. Driving a 21 Sienna almost all the time. Cheaper, more utility than SUV, gas once a month, longest leg...

I think the model 3 has exhausted it's excitement for you. Its time to move on. The model y will get old fast. I got the Sienna Hybrid instead of the Tesla X. Love it and its so smooth. My Model 3 P is sitting and collecting dust.

I was going to say, if it isn't a M3P, reject it.. So yes, it was helpful.

Yes. The Sienna is a hybrid and posts real 500+ miles on a tank. Usually 520 for 17 usable gallons. Costco gas is about $2.95/gal. Its close but I don't have to wait to charge say for a trip to LA from San Jose, CA. Does the new 2021 2nd row seats in the new Model X recline or do anything like...

Speculating that the range could be locked for now and extended later for a study on the new battery.

So glad I cancelled my Model X back in Dec. This plaid model is the shits.

Cancelled my Dec 7th order since delivery was Feb 15 - Mar 15. Bought a 2021 Toyota Sienna Platinum. I love it. Yeah the drivetrain is vastly different and so is the room and convenience. The latter won thanks to the delay. Still have my Model 3 P to zoom zoom if I want to.

I guess I can assume Im in the same boat here, ordered Dec 7th.. When you get yours I can look forward to mine coming.

park diagonally.

so why is thread still alive?

What a laundry list - rent one from Turo first.

Why are there so many white cars? I should have bought blue or midnight grey.

I thought about the same issue as you at how will i even enjoy this with range anxiety. But there are portable level 2 chargers that plug into rv style plugs at campgrounds.

I went 3rd party rec by insurance due to convenience and avoidance of Tesla service. Its fine. Just a suggestion - When you get rear ended look at the rear glass carefully for cracks and include it in your appraisal.

The new config doesnt include track mode for stealth but everyone with a stealth before got track mode. Genius.

why did you need an alignment? Rear toe may be out of spec but not by much. Tire wearing out?

It may not be money wise but Ive had a hard time finding shops that could balance right. I dont know what Costco uses but my cars feel smooth where Firestone and a local shop couldn’t.

$60 lifetime + rotation. I then took my suv in for the same at a different store and they did it for free. I suspect it was free on good will because I talked to them about replacements.

America’s tire rotated tires for free but I added balancing all 4 tires original oem 20”. Never knew they were so off. Its much smoother now. They use Hunter balancers.

This thread should combine with the request for 20" wheel covers while driving long distances. I'd do it.

I had to remove both key cards to reprogram my phone and key cards. I recall that one of the key card (secondary) required the master key card to remove. > You can avoid valet. Yeah I drive my ICE when its valet only. Pier 29 is a great place to park overnight if you're staying near valet...

Yes I think this too. Using summons to park your car tightly into a parking space, what will the other cars do to get in? Ding Ding!

Your family stability is far more important than a Tesla + bragging rights.

I would say anything close to the bottom pan is strong, including suspension. I don't know about pillars and frame that sits on top.

None of these rattles annoys me more (they do, just the lesser of all evils) than the flexing sound of the car's roof when you get on the driveway. Side windows pop, roof jars, even doors buck, all depending on the approach. It feels like the car's structural strength is like that of a convertible.

wow wow wow wow wow! investigating self induced acceleration by the NHTSA is TIGHT!

Interesting. I've always thought the MSM color was the best color for the model 3 performance but I didn't want another grey car. Also, performance owners represent a sizable chunk of buyers to give an upgrade in power.

Not sure if this was already mentioned but did you have something drop into the vent opening under the front passenger seat? Some cars don't have a plastic guard to prevent objects from falling in.

What make and model car pulled in?

Not a single good reason so far to use chill mode. Yes-sirs, please, surrender your car to the needy wanting a discounted P3D variant. Get a Prius for that gentle acceleration.

Unbeknownst to the creator, he sells a bunch of the front bumper instead. I like it too. Hey Chevy are you there? You haven't forgotten the Volt yet right?

Yes but seeing how people going neck and neck with AWD models wanting to be P3D-, I can’t imagine the Mudstain Monk-E to take much market if any. They will need to fight the name rejection first.

In cases like this Id ask would you buy Tesla again? As long as demand is high, they do whatever they want.

Yes I know what you're saying. I'm just saying that no matter what you paid for the P vs AWD, that difference is narrowing with these updates.

Genuinely want to know if you'd buy another Tesla?

Well I wasn't going to mention the 4K diff but I guess it is what it is now. i dont think the P is 1+ sec quicker than the AWD. The guy who posted in "2.9" sec seems to have gotten lucky but most other tests show no improvement on the P. Meanwhile the AWD makes great gains for the money.

Im saying theres less differentiation between the P and AWD.

Well, yes performance means faster. All cars got faster - no diff. AWD gets a 2k boost option theres a diff. All cars are the same at the higher end - no diff. I see no diff for the P3.

Cerrtainly.

The lesser differentiating of the P vs AWD.

How well calibrated are the wheel balancers used? I found tire shops around here have more balancers out of spec than they are willing to admit. Try another shop with the weights on to check.

Actually expect more OTA updates to devalue these cars. Ok, call it screwed. Oh those that disagree, do enlighten me to think otherwise. Lets just include P3D+ and P3D- vs AWD. Forget the bling.

Oh btw knowing how screwed Performance buyers got, you’ll be the first to feel with this car.

Tesla knowing that the AWD model outsells the Performance, this would produce even smaller gains for a lot of R&D. Would they even want to do this?

No, I think we are all talking about the great torque this car has.

We have two lane onramps, one for HOV and another for all others. I stepped on it in my P3 and flew right past the slow driver. Heard a honk a long distance away..

I like how this gives you the ability to jump to the next event in the clips. It provides a very fast way to look through a large collection of videos. I think it would be convenient to add a button to the large white space area for mobile use. Left to skip back, right to skip forward.

Thanks for the pics. I guess it goes both ways. Like the oem look that is flat with the rim, not the muffin top look.

The 3's "quite a ride" in the back seat because its more noisy than a hard ride. Add ear plugs to avoid the constant humming due to road noise.

Having the same problems - none of the above worked. I think its an iOS issue. The phone does not list the car as a device in the BT discovered devices. There is one that is sort of a serial number and another that says "Tesla Model 3". The latter is for music streaming. The serial number does...
