    Tesla roof rack - are the crossbars level?

    I recently had the Tesla roof rack installed at a local service center. From a distance it appears as if the rear crossbar is slightly taller than the front crossbar. It will be a couple of months before I have an opportunity to mount a Yakima FatCat and a couple snowboards to view it in...

    Today while parked watching YouTube on the touchscreen I immediately noticed areas of the display flickering every 5-10 seconds. The flickering applies to random areas of the display on all YouTube channels. Here is a link to a 2 second video where you can see the podium flicker. Neither my...

    Tent camping in the South Dakota Badlands

    Earlier this week I went on a trip that concluded with 18,500 miles on my M3. My wife and I took delivery in November and have driven from Chicago to Atlanta, Breckenridge twice during bad storms (photos below), and South Dakota. I had an XPEL clear bra and Llumar tints installed the day I got...

    Frustrating experience at Discount Tire - HELP!

    This afternoon I had an appointment with a local Discount Tire to rotate and balance the tires of my M3 - this is my first rotation after 10,000 enjoyable miles. I've used Discount Tire for over 10 years and they generally perform great work. Today I pulled in and saw a M3 in their parking lot...

    I am new to the roof rack game and wanting to familiarize myself with some of your favorite 3rd party accessories for hauling things such as bicycles, snowboards, and cargo boxes using a Model 3 and OEM roof rack. I assume many of you are using Yakima or Thule accessories? Can you provide some...

    Energy Consumption in Drive/Hold vs. Park

    This morning I noticed a small white dash on my energy consumption meter after switching from park to drive without pressing the accelerator or the car moving. This continued during my commute to work - switching to P resulted in no consumption, but shifting back to D caused the minor...

    Panel (mis)alignment and/or gap getting worse?!

    Upon delivery I was accepting of the minimal panel gaps I noticed on my M3. Gaps appeared to be symmetrical which was enough to satisfy me, although they were a little large in some areas. I'm very particular about my cars and carefully reviewed the body upon delivery and every time it is...

    Review of RWD M3 after Chicago-Breckenridge round trip

    Last week my wife and I took our RWD Long Range M3 with OEM 19" wheels and all season tires on our second road trip - the first was Chicago to Atlanta days after receiving the car in November. This time we made a last minute decision to spend Christmas in Breckenridge. I plan on buying 18"...

    Metal tab inside wheel well and possible issues with surrounding paint

    I was performing a careful inspection of my clear bra and its integrity after a couple of weeks in the cold, snowy, and salty roads when I noticed a very flimsy metal tab inside of the wheel well. What is this and is it supposed to be rigid or flexible? The last photo is the edge of my front...

    PRICE INCREASE - Model 3 Aero Wheel and Winter Tire Package

    As I was preparing to purchase this package I noticed the price increased from $2,000 to $2,400. Due to my poor luck and stubborn personality it's likely I will no longer purchase this and stick with 19" rims and all season tires. Days after a test drive I was preparing to order a pearl white...

    Steam while charging?

    First time poster and new owner of a Pearl White RWD Long Rage Model 3. Last night I was at a supercharger in an outdoor parking garage in Chicago (30°-40°) and noticed steam coming from the lower front grill of a Model S parked next to me. It did not stop during the few minutes I was standing...
