I agree. All that wasted space on either side of the temp... Put the heated seats, wiper speed control (although the last update improved it from un-useable to meh) etc., up there and not on a sub screen... I don't have time to search but I believe Elon said that the width/size of the screen...

Take a test drive. See if someone on this board is local. If you were up here, I'd let you take mine out for a spin (even though it has a lot of issues.) There are several characteristics/quirks (IMHO, of course) that might affect whether you would fully enjoy the car or not. Someone...

12/18 production 3P (2021.44.30): I had a similar issue last weekend. I usually set the temp at 70 (manual setting), which is comfortable for me. I noticed that it seemed like it was blowing noticeably colder air and I bumped it up a couple/few degrees, eventually reaching HI. It was putting...

Were both readings taken when the tires were 'cold' (sitting long enough after a drive so the PSI isn't affected by heat build up?)

My pillar cameras and front camera all have condensation issues. At first, I remember Tesla replacing cameras but that seems to have switched to 'it's (condensation) is normal and they won't do anything unless the condensation never dissipates. I think luck of the draw plays a big role in...

Look up Bead Seat Covers on Amazon. They won't break the back and if you read the reviews, people swear by them.

Tried it several times and it is slower than molasses. Won't load the yahoo.com page, let alone netflix... (yes, all 5 LTE bars and even on home wifi...) Just use my phone but would have been nice to have the few times I've used the supercharger...

A paperclip (or two, if they're really small) bent into a 90 degree angle should work as well.

My bet is that you won't, but, you may have clearance issues with the 255/35. A lot depends on the brand/model of tire. There are variances between manufacturers and within a manufacturers own line. The 255/30 is a safer bet in that regard. In going with a 255/30, you'll lose about .2" of...

Yup. I'm torn between a new Model 3 and waiting for the Macan EV or even the Genesis GV70 EV.

Oh my. I'm right around 10 visits but I've been bundling/waiting for more than one or two issues to crop up before each visit. In terms of the fix for the rear seat back, I believe there are a couple of threads on this. I put some adhesive rubber furniture pads to act as spacers between the...

My last three cars were popular sport coupe/sedans. There is no comparison in terms of performance, handling dynamics, etc., compared to the M3P. In terms of performance for the $, the M3P is a 10/10 in my book. However, as good as the performance is, the quality is nearly as bad, IMHO...

Yes. Checked it last night and it was down to 256. It'll go up a few during the winter, of course. It's a 2018. Got it in 2/2019 but was manufactured in 12/2018.

I'm at 258 with 36,540 miles. Being stuck in traffic in my daily commute and switching to lightweight 19's helps, I'm sure. However, I also live up on a steep (about a 1,000 ft in ~0.4 mile using about ~5 miles of range going up and recouping ~3 coming down except during the winter when regen...

Anyone know if the new headlights adjust horizontally/side to side (instead of just up and down?)

Could be anything from actual range loss from the heavier wheels/tires, battery degradation, battery balancing/fluctuation, and (I know it stays very temperate in socal but) colder temps reduce range as well.

With the 3, be happy if you don't have many noise/rattles when you're actually driving around. (My late 2018 build doesn't rattle like that.)

My issue didn't go away after the iphone app update.

I've had intermittent problems with unlocking the car (have to open the app and wait for it to wake up, which will be more fun when the rain starts here in the great northwet...) and the same issue much less frequently (needing the card to drive despite just unlocking and getting in with the...

Me, too. Did the DIY reset. Then took it in for this and other issues. They reset something but it didn't solve the issue. It's going to start raining for the next 8 months. I have to key card in and out of work.... One of the other issues was the phone key not working all the time. It...

AC off/Fan only overheat protection probably isn't going to hurt at all. In fact, it might help. If the cabin temp climbs quickly after you exit the car, then the fan (switched on by the overheat) might turn on quicker/less lag time than the fan that runs automatically after you run the AC...

I found out that my cabin overheat (non-AC) wasn't working and temp in the cabin was getting into the 140's. My AC is still starting to smell like vinegar a year after I cleaned it out.

I agree that most cars can have this issue. A quick google search and visiting the other forums will probably confirm that. With that said, I've never had this issue with any car that I've had (even though other respective owners obviously did) because I always (OK. 99% of the time) turn the...

If you want to keep the 20" wheels, go with 245/35 (instead of 235/35's) on whatever tire you choose. That will give you a smidge more sidewall and curb rash protection. 18"s would be your best bet for pothole protection. I ended up going with 19"s (245/40/19's) in the same PS4S tires...

I don't want to speak out of turn but I could see issues with airflow if the filter element is wet and/or frozen. The element will also be more susceptible clogging with leaves/debris.

Good point, but I would want it to start right after getting out of the car. That way, I would know what it was v. coming out a while later and wondering if my car had shut down properly. Not to mention the coils and/or filters just sitting there wet until the fans do come on...

They should at least fix the lag in starting the fan once you leave the car and the duration once it does start (it's on too long.) I haven't been in the garage to measure but it does seem like the fan stays on for at least 45min-hour...

There were 12 available when I posted the link. They seem to be going fast...

They have a 2 pack available. https://www.amazon.com/nextzett-96110715-Klima-Cleaner-Professional-Conditioner/dp/B075MK89WN/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=klima+cleaner&qid=1627323347&sr=8-7

Every car that I've had before the model 3 never had this issue because I would always turn the AC off and just run the fan for a few minutes before the end of the trip. Despite doing this with the model 3 (and before Tesla made this automatic) I got the smell. Changed the filters and used...

2nd buying online and having them ship directly to a local shop. Tirerack has online reviews of the shops they'll ship to. I've done this and used the same shop for almost 20 years.

Not sure if it's the same thing but my Dec. '18 build M3P has a burning electrical tape smell (for lack of a better description) that comes in from the trunk area at start up. My guess is that it's from the stock sub amplifier or something in that area and it was really noticeable when I was...

During the Winter, I'll go for months without washing the car. After a long interval, I'll notice that the front wheels are noticeably dirtier than the rears, much like a regular ICE car. However, it's not remotely close to how dirty the latter would be. 12/2018 M3P.

Back in late 2018, early 2019, I test drove the F80 M3, m235, C63S, RC-F, LC500 (both V8 and Hybrid), Cayman GTS 2.5, 991.2 911 Carrera S, S5 (they didn't have the RS5 available), before picking up the M3P. I would have the LC if it had more low end torque. As great as the v8 is above ~4K...

I tried them a while back on a different car. They're fine around town but they do skip at higher highway speeds. Unless they've changed something recently, unlike a lot of blades, they don't have a spoiler/fin that pushes it down into the windshield. I went with the bosch icon and they seem...

Not 100% sure but I don't think the performance model comes with staggered tires. I'd get the 245/35/20's. Just a smidge more sidewall and curb rash protection. Difference in overall diameter is negligible and you won't have any rubbing/fitment issues. You also get a good bump in load rating...

Instead of things like the fart app or devoting resources on trying to make the roadster hover, how about... Windshield wipers: 1. A proper rain sensor. I'll be generous and call the current system, 'semi' auto wipers. It's better than it was initially, but it still sucks. 2. Instead of...

Not 100% sure but isn't regen captured through the rear wheels? This will accelerate the wear on the rears as well. I rotate regularly and have about 22K miles on my PS4S (on aftermarket 19's, not the 20') and have about 4-5mm all around. I drive like an AARP member most of the time, though.

As some have mentioned, the S (and the taycan for that matter) is too big and too heavy for me as well. If they can keep the 3 around the same weight, 500 miles of range, low 2's to 60, better acceleration from ~70 to ~100+mph, and, this is the most important thing for me, use a physical...

I ordered 19"s immediately after purchasing the car for increased road hazard damage protection and increased performance. (The 19's weigh 6 lbs less per than stock.) However, two things I liked about the stock 20's before replacing them: 1. although the style isn't my first choice, they're...

Yup. Elevation changes (much more frequent and much louder going up (v. down) in elevation) in the colder temps. I have not honestly noticed them in warmer weather, with our without elevation changes.

I had the TSB performed and it might have helped a bit (the biggest pops aren't quite as loud now or maybe the previous pops made more clearance for whatever is happening). It definitely did not fix the issue, though.

If you got a $10K discount, that might be something to ponder. No brainer at $2,800. Not even close to worth it.

I'm hoping the Macan EV will be available in a couple/few years. I'm not discounting another model 3 if there's nothing else really out there by then.

Wider tire will offer slightly better curb rash and pothole protection (if he stays close to stock with a 245/45). I'd go with a 245/45. As stated above, a little wider and taller, and it will decrease the fender gap as well. 255/40 is too small OD wise and you'll lose a little pothole...

2018 with PUP bought in 1/19 with just under 19K miles: One mobile service for spoiler and badge install. 3 services at the SC for: 1. scratched interior trim at delivery 2. squeeky steering wheel 3. alignment 4. breather replacement for loud pop while changing elevation (mostly uphill in...

I had the issue intermittently with my Iphone 7 and then my Iphone 10. Maybe once or twice every 100 tries? When it happens, I open the app and then the door opens immediately on the next try.

I try to follow something close to what the owner's manual and the OEM tire manufacturer recommends. I rotate the tires myself so all it costs is just about 30-45 minutes of my time twice a year. One thing to consider is that some recommendations may not always be based on...

My guess: the next time you hear it, put your hand on the dash speaker grill on the far left side.
