    Model 3 LR tire rotation?

    I had the Service Center do my first tire rotation. I was paranoid hearing horror stories about shops that claim they know what to do, jacking up the car and damaging the battery. They charged me $66. Yeah, that is kinda pricey just for a rotation, but at least they didn't break my car.

    Model 3 review - After moving from RWD to AWD

    When I stood in line in March of 2016. I had said then that I wanted Dual Motor, Autopilot, and a color. Well when my number came up, only the RWD was available. So I jumped on it. Even if I would have done like the post creator did, I wouldn't have had the tax liability to cover $15,000. But...

    200 Wh/mile to use heater?

    The heater is the main source of increased wh/mi for sure. I don't have a long commute to work and don't usually take road trips in the winter, so I'm good to go. My Summertime 220 wh/mi has become more like 330 wh/mi. But I'm warm and still taking people off the line like it's nobody's business.

    Vendor Open Source DIY Model 3 Console Wrap Template

    I bought the matte black vinyl cover for the center console. Eeesh, man that is a talent I still need to acquire. As the video said, I tried the cup holder portion first and holy hell, screwed it up big time. Ended up stretching the material too much to recover. I'm going to give it another shot...

    New Model Y details from supposed internal documents

    For us, we don't want more seats blocking the cargo room. My GF just really wants a hatchback so we can haul some things. Before I got my Model 3 I had a Subaru XV Crosstrek, and it was nice to be able to move objects that don't fit in a standard trunked sedan. My GF has a couple years left on...

    Referral Reward: Forged Performance Wheels

    I'm just hoping to get a 2nd referral so I can get the black wall connector. 1st referral just took delivery on December 21st. Working on my Boss's boss now, he really wants one, but is failing convincing his wife.

    New Columbus Ohio Tesla Supercenter

    Eeesh, wouldn't be too surprised, but hopefully the rumor is not true. Granted I really don't need the charger, other than a few Superchargers, I only charge at home. But it is nice to have "reserved" parking, and throw a little juice in her just for good measure.

    My Car does not do XXXX, but it make fart noises now!

    Sure there are some things that could be tweaked. The auto wipers are one of them, but Elon did say they are working to make them better, but for me and mine. The fart button is frickin' awesome! My stomach hurt after I got home from driving around last night after the update (2018.48.12.1)...

    New Columbus Ohio Tesla Supercenter

    I do wonder if they will install Superchargers in that location as well. Hopefully the charging/parking location in the parking garage attached to the mall stays. So nice to have a Tesla only parking and charging so convenient to shopping and dining.

    Poll: Who's read the manual?

    Not sure if they are related or not, but I was playing with the browser yesterday. When I opened it, it was just a blank white window. I typed in a url, and it didn't come up. But I hit the x, and then refresh, refresh, refresh and it magically displayed, and then worked the rest of the day...

    Poll: Who's read the manual?

    I watched damn near every Model 3 video on YouTube before I got the car. I decided to suck it up one time while my GF was in a store and RTFM. However, when I went to read it, it just displayed a blank white window. I looked again the other day just for giggles, and it worked fine, but I still...

    RWD 1st Snow Driving Experience with All Season Tires

    I have never put winter tires on a car before, so I'm interested in how my RWD 3 is going to do. We've already had a couple storms and some ice and so far so good. But when it hits the fan, I'll be happy to report how things go.

    Range Anxiety - You got nothing on me!

    Got my car in May, and have taken a few long road trips. But I've never gotten the car below apx 75 miles remaining charge. I have a NEMA 14-50 in my garage and charge it to 88% (272 miles) most nights. If I got down to like 5 miles or below I think I would probably flip out. Never ran out of...

    Do you prefer Creep On or Off?

    Yeah, I've had much of the same here as well. I always seem to have at least some regen. But since the temp has dropped, regen has taken a major hit. I hate it when I have to touch the brakes, lol. I'll leave my car plugged in, in the garage and get the climate controls to fire up about 10...

    Do you prefer Creep On or Off?

    I got my Model 3 on May 2nd, the first time I ever drove an EV was when I took it out of the Service Center. I jumped in the deep end and never looked back. Creep set to off, and full regen. I have never turned creep on, and only set regen to low when it's icy.

    NEMA 14-50 Plug Install Price

    My house is pretty new (built in 2012), so it already had 200 amp service and there were plenty of open spots on the panel. My electric box is in the basement and is in the opposite corner of the house from the garage. I have a ranch with a full basement, so the run was over 100 feet and the...

    Blog Half Of World’s Electric Cars Are In Just 25 Cities

    I had seen the headline that x% of all EV's are in just 25 cities around the world. I just read the article. I really kinda expected to see my region, just because I see so many Tesla's. I own a Tesla Model 3 LR RWD #teamblue . In my work parking lot there are a total of three model 3's. In the...
