I'm a sucker for the yoke look, and I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on one for my model 3 relatively soon. I know abstract ocean has their yoke which seems to be good quality and supposedly made from original tesla steering wheels. On the other hand, Hansshow has a MUCH wider...

Whoa that's so interesting...I rented a 2022 Model 3 this weekend for myself and my cousins. We all have various Pixel 6 or 6 Pro phones and none of ours had reliable success on the built in charging pads (sometimes one would charge a few %s but then stop, sometimes it would not charge one bit...

I know this is a bit more of a Pixel problem than a Tesla problem, but the Pixel 6/6 Pro series of phones are very...picky when it comes to wireless charging, and generally only works well/reliably with specific chargers and wireless charging standards (EPP). I have had both an older and newer...

Oh wow yeah super interesting to hear almost the same thing happening with a few other people. My update ended up actually finally downloading entirely overnight, so I did finally get it installed!

Well now, weirdly enough, in the time since I've posted this, the progress has gone from 54%->58%, which...IS progress, but unbelievably slow. I have VERY fast internet (and can confirm it is working at its normal speed). I've never seen an update download at <2% per hour. Not sure if I just...

I'm laughing at the fact that we have nearly IDENTICAL pictures of our cars as profile images hahaha. I actually didn't realize you could request service for software issues in app! I may try that if I don't see it show progress on the download by tomorrow

My model 3 connects to wifi in my garage and has always just downloaded software updates automatically from there. I've noticed for the past SEVERAL weeks, it has had the orange "downloading" icon, but it never actually completes and prompts me to update. Finally after noticing this for weeks, I...

As far as I can tell, most charge between 7.5-10 when plugged into USB, and up to 15 when plugged into the 12V. The TapTes (cheapest) one seems to perform no differently than the others..

Hey there, I was looking around to see if any of the various wireless charging pads were on sale for black friday. There is.....a LOT of variation in prices, but I can't really tell if there's any variation in features/quality. Jeda's wireless charging pad is $99 (Jeda Wireless Pad | Tesla...

I mean there is a reason that the 3 is a much cheaper car, but for what it is, it's amazing that it stands up to the S so well. My S was not a new post-facelift one so my 3 brings a lot of quality of life and technological improvements that I didn't have. It makes it a no-brainier for me that...

This is what shocked me about the AWD (non-P). I so much enjoy the feeling of accelerating and getting up to speed that when I didn't feel that so much in the P version (it was more like blink and boom, you're at speed), I was honestly confused. Where did that sensation go?? I was very happy to...

I went with a LR AWD Model 3 for this reason honestly. I drove both a AWD and a P and the P just was a bit...too powerful? I mean I love speed and it's not like it was uncontrollable, but the AWD felt more like I could drive it like a normal car and could punch it and fly at the same time. It...

I admit having autopilot settings on the right wheel is intuitive and useful, I just often wish I could change the fan speed of the AC without hitting the climate button, bringing up the menu, and then finding the tiny little area with the fan and tapping the correct number of times. A lot to do...

Wait....seriously? I just purchased homelink on the tesla store "just" because of this feature being added to the app. It will prevent me from having to take my garage door opener to and from my car every time I need to go to my garage. I don't have FSD and I don't see why on earth they should...

Thank you so much! I had found it earlier today too. Not sure why they killed the link instead of just labeling it as out of stock. Makes me wonder if they're not planning on producing it or if there was some kind of safety or quality issue with it..

I'll need to have an electrician either way BUT I love the idea of a corded wall connector instead of the mobile one for the garage. I know it's not on Tesla's site currently but anyone know its official name to see if I can pull up the URL manually? Maybe there's an "email when back in stock"...

Both my sales adviser and the delivery guys told me, at completely different times, first "week or two" of October for it to go into effect. I wouldn't panic if it's not active today, but if it's not there but mid October I'm going to ask around.

Thank you all SO much for the advice - this helps a lot! One last question - I've only charged my car in the moment (aka plug it in - get power). Is there the ability in the app to delay or schedule your charging sessions for specific times (like at night when energy is cheaper?). I know some...

The panel is actually in the room above my garage, so it needs to come through the floor, across the ceiling a bit, and down the wall. I think it should still be fairly easy, but if that length makes a significant difference in difficulty then that's something to consider...

These are probably basic questions so I apologize in advance, but super appreciative of any input! 1. Telsa used to have a link on the account page where you could see recommended local electricians. Since the site re-design I've not been able to find that...is that available somewhere or have...

I know this is going to be old news to most of you here, but I made a road trip largely using autopilot for the first time and wanted to share my experience/thoughts and see if they're consistent with the general consensus of other AP users. 1. Drove up from San Diego to LA mostly using...

I just got my model 3 (hooray!) white exterior, white interior. I've always LOVED white/black combos inside cars because its so clean and futuristic looking. I'm currently buying some accessories and of course one of the first things I want is a console wrap. I find myself incredibly torn...

Unfortunately not trading into Tesla :( Tried a soft reboot and while it made the noises start again, and you can hear the mechanism moving, it's not catching the window and the sounds are ugly as ever (almost like its rolling over broken glass, though that makes no sense since the window is...

Wow didn't even think it would be a software thing. Did the window need to be all the way up or down for it to recognize it/work again or did it not matter?

So I'm scheduled to trade in my Model S on Thursday (need a smaller car so getting a 3) so this is a really bad time to have a significant mechanical failure.... I rolled down my back-driver's side window just a few minutes ago for a second. Hit the button to roll it back up and it makes a...

I'll be picking up my M3 this week and my old Model S didn't have autopilot so I'm excited to try it out finally. Phantom breaking is the biggest thing I hear about that gives me any worries at all. Is this like SLAMMING on the breaks? Like someone following you on the highway could rear-end...

Also ordered a few weeks ago so don't know yet! Every M3 I've test driven had the standard black interior so I'm prepared to be blown away by the white :)

Huh...is this a coincidence or are they related at all? Since I ordered with the wheel/interior discounts my sales rep told me to wait until the VIN is generated before entering any payment info or securing financing because the price currently on the order page isn't accurate of the actual...

I wonder if that's considered safe? You need to be able to hear things like ambulances/sirens/honking/etc. I know cars are already well sound insulated and that's considered fine, but I can imagine people getting bothered by the idea of digitally enhanced noise cancellation in a car.

My guess is once the car is actually in your account (vs just a reservation) it'll be listed under "Supercharging"...otherwise I'm not sure of any way to actively tell :/

I had the same dilemma when ordering because of the free upgrades. Red is my favorite color and I'e always dreamed of having a red car but I had never even CONSIDERED it on a Tesla because of how much it costs over base paint. I was 100% set on white / white and then had to decide if I wanted...

:( I wonder if different regions got different instructions maybe?

I was told today that it was for orders also as long as they were placed "today". Sales guy said the price discount comes off as soon as the VIN is generated (I placed an order so this better be true lol)

Got this deal today, sales adviser said they're not allowed to put anything into print and that it's very limited because it can only apply to order set to be delivered by end of month. The discounting of premium options was...huge, I really wasn't expecting that. Allowed me to pick some stuff I...

Maybe a dumb question but does anyone anticipate any meaningful change in aerodynamics with a plate that sticks out in front of the bumper a few inches vs something attached to it (or even stuck on like the wrap posted above) ?

This happened to me two weeks ago, but it happened during the few hours that the Tesla app was down so I just...assumed that something was funky across everything Tesla at the time. I did a soft reset (both steering wheel buttons) and it was displaying normally after that (and has been fine...

I'd just like to return to this thread to let everyone know that I appreciate all this input SO MUCH and I finally got a chance to test drive the regular AWD and found it to be....perfect. It's the perfect combination of power and torque and comfort. I thought it was an absolute blast to drive...

Don't quote me on this, but my sales guy said that Tesla is promising that cars ordered this week will be delivered by Oct 1, and if not they'll almost definitely honor the bonus.

Haha good timing this being announced today. Question though...can you refer yourself if you already own a Tesla? Or can you have a friend refer you even though you already have an active account?

It was pretty obvious near the end of Q1 / Q2 that Tesla was getting desperate to sell as many cars as humanely possible, and it seemed like there was something popping up every few days to try to entice more people to order new cars. Is there any indication that any initiatives will launch...

I guess I've never encountered that before on this forum. I was just referring to RWD as the actual drive system of the car, not naming one specific model, but yes, I'm referring to the current SR/SR+ models that are currently for sale.

Hmm...I'm not sure what you mean. If you go to Tesla's website and click on model 3 you can configure every combination of car that's on menu. RWD is the first option (standard range plus).

I currently have a model S (RWD). I still have tons of fun driving it and love it, but being someone who is always reading the latest tech news, and seeing every new feature roll out, and wanting the latest and greatest, I find myself just wishing I had the extra power/features of a more...

It's actually still not in my Tesla app. Used to be at the bottom always beneath location and now its nowhere to be seen :/

Tesla guy let me know that the "sleeper performance" (what he says they call them internally) was one of their test drive cars and let me come drive it today. Was ... definitely very fast. Almost too fast, haha. It got up to speed so quickly you almost don't get to experience it very long! It...

Talked to the guy I've been working with at the Tesla store (Fashion Valley). He said they had a TON of them a few weeks ago but now can't seem to find any except a store model. Said he wasn't sure how to predict if/when they'll show up again but that they're a great deal if you can get the...

Oh wow, I had no idea this existed. That's... really good to know - and almost exactly what I'd ideally want. I'll have to look into this. I assume no custom orders means they just...made a certain number of these and are selling them off? Considering I'm waiting to hear back from Tesla about...

Wait a sec....am I missing something somewhere?? On Tesla's site the only option to upgrade to performance over AWD is a whole "performance package" for $8k more. Is there an off-menu option to just beef up the power for less than the whole package deal? Even used inventory cars are about a 5k...

Oh man, these answers are so above and beyond what I was expecting, thank you all so much! I think you may be right in terms of what type of acceleration I'm after. It doesn't have to jerk me at 0 but I like the fluid, constant, feeling of speed as you're getting up to highway speed, like the...

I would jump on this if you were on the west coast :( Great deal - Good luck!!
