I came across one parked in a parking lot in advance of a Jaguar event that happens every Father's Day here in town ("Cat's in the Garden," or something like that). My wife and i pulled in to the parking lot next to it without initially realizing what it was. My wife looked over and said "that...

Hit a massive pothole last Wednesday evening coming home from the airport. Used the Tesla App (iPhone) to schedule an appointment last thursday morning. Monday was available (2 business days away) but I could only do today (Tuesday). They had a new rim ordered and waiting for me and had me in...

Yes, you read that title correctly. I took delivery of my M3P on 12/28/18 and in my view of the world, Tesla has already given me MORE than I paid for. Specifically as of the middle of this coming week I will have gotten: 1. A 5% increase in power; 2. 3 extra months of free supercharging (I...

I purchased the FSD upgrade (from EAP) for $3k, before the price of $2k was announced. I have a 2018 car. Just called to find out when I would get my $1k refund as per Elon’s tweet. Tesla CS answered immediately (no wait on hold) and I spoke with Josh who knew the issue and said those refunds...

So today I had to commute home from a meeting today in about 3" of snow. Some roads were plowed and others were not. I am running the stock 20" wheels with Michelin A/S 3+ tires. The car was a dream to drive. Planted, predictable and solid -- frankly the best driving car I have ever driven...

My M3P is awesome. It is the best car I have owned and that includes Audis, BMWs, Chevy Volts, Subarus, Toyotas, Alfas and Ferraris. Every time I drive it makes me happy. Yeah, I am sure that I could let some of the "little" imperfections with the car and Tesla bother me, but why? It's the...

As the rear spoilers for the M3P finally seem to be shipping (at least in California right now), I am wondering if I will need to have the SC do anything differently because I had my car ceramic coated? Input appreciated!

Today it was 35 degrees out and I did a 45 mile out and back (22.5 miles each way) that was 60% highway and 40% city. 500’ elevation change. 20” wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. It was sunny out so I needed almost no climate control. Averaged 246 Wh/mi for the trip. Given that it was...

Today is the 1 month anniversary of owning my M3P and my love of this car has only grown. Thought that I should post about just how wonderful my car has been as sadly, the vast majority of posts on any forum inevitably deal with “issues” (real or feared). The car is wickedly fast, handles...

Hi there! I just had my first service on my M3P (took delivery 12/28/18). The car was in for an alignment (it arrived with the steering wheel off-center), replacing a scratched driver's side door molding (the car arrived that way) and getting its "Dual Motor" badge (which went directly into...

Has anyone else noticed that the price from Tesla for a fully loaded M3P+ (multi-coat paint, white interior, EAP) has dropped by $2,000? I just configured the same car that I took delivery of on 12/28. Price was $73,700 with Docs and Destination Fee and now is $71,700. Obviously Tesla has...

Hi there! I live in NE NJ and my electricity supplier is PSE&G. Unfortunately the underground conduit from my house to my detached garage only allows a maximum service of 40 amps. The good news, however, is that my garage is located literally 6 feet from the utility pole on which the power is...

Yes, I was one of those clearly influenced by wanting the full $7,500 tax credit and Tesla's Y/E marketing push. Although I DID place a $1,000 deposit a couple of days after online ordering was first offered -- but then I cancelled a couple of months later. So my wife and I had recently been...
