Hi! I recently had my windshield cracked due to a large rock on the highway. I sent my M3 to a Tesla Service Center to get my windshield replaced. After the first replacement, I noticed excessive wind noise coming from the passenger side akin to someone leaving the window cracked open. The...

I was offered $38K for my 2019 Red with Black interior M3 MR. The car has ~32K miles on it and has no AP or FSD. Given the chip shortage, I am wondering if it is worth selling my car for an MYP (Delivery March 2022). I have about 3 years and $20K left on my loan which would leave me with $18K if...

I'm in the same boat. However, I think I will hold off and see what happens when they roll out the subscription model for FSD. Worst case, I won't get autopilot until I trade my car in for a new Tesla in a few years. Best case, competition forces Tesla to reoffer it at a lower price or I pay the...

I invested $7k into TSLA on March 16-18 for an average price of $433. No regrets investing in the stock over buying FSD for my LEMR.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ How much did this cost?

Curious how this would work for owners who bought their vehicle with HW 2.5 before AP became standard on all Teslas. Would we be required to pay $3K for AP to access the FSD subscription or would there be another tier for AP & FSD monthly subscription (currently $10K if purchased without...

I get 5 miles/hr from a 120v

Long press the parking button on the right stalk and the parking brake icon will appear on the screen. I did my California Road Test in my M3 at San Jose and had no issues. Before we took off for the test, the instructor asked me to turn off all of the automatic functions as "We aren't here to...

Short squeeze and FOMO by regular investors IMO. Looks like a game of hot potato with it ending once shorts cover their losses. I love the company and the stock deserves the pop esp after earnings, but the 10%+ increase/day is insane.

Beautiful car. What's the "Internal Program" you referenced that got you free AP and FSD?

I'm the same as well. It fluctuates between 227-230. I usually recharge at work when it gets close to 100 miles remaining. However, my office has valets that switch the cars in and out at the charging stations so I usually get stopped at 180-200 miles.

I got 2019.36.2.3 pushed to my MR on Thanksgiving

Agree. That's why I went with 50% and 40%. I also thought it would be a good balance between privacy and getting stopped by the cops for my front side window tint. The tint I used was 3M Crystalline.

Tint laws for CA: Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield. Front Side windows: Aftermarket film must allow more than 88% of light in, or minimum 70% VLT if combined with factory-tinted windows. Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used. Rear Window...

I guess it was the shock and how fast it all happened. I do remember pushing the brakes down as hard as I could, feeling and hearing the ABS kick in, and then feeling the pedal go off my foot and even lower. Keep in mind at the same time my mind was saying "Oh Sh*t Oh Sh*t" while my wife was...

During rush hour traffic this morning, a BMW 2 cars ahead of me suddenly slammed on his brakes to stop allowing a pedestrian to cross the crosswalk. This caused the car in front of me and myself to also slam on our brakes. My M3 collision avoidance alarm went off and I felt the brake pedal...

I would also add that you should get a rear dash cam. Since TeslaCam and Sentry mode do NOT record using the parking camera, a rear dash cam is super useful (esp when I got rear ended). It may also give you piece of mind when parking in public places. I would put this on the top of your list...

Thanks for the info!

I had the same issue with the rubber seal on my rear doors. I took it to the service center for repair and they managed to 'straighten' it out (though not fully). They also mentioned to me that this happens during installation and that over time it should correct itself. This is covered under...

I had the same thing happen to me. I went to an approved Tesla body shop but they have been pretty poor with communication. I am considering using the Service center like you did. How did the process work for you? Did you have to send pics of your bumper after you made a reservation? Since you...

Since OP’s Tesla didn’t use gas would the OP be responsible to pay for the gas for the rental? Or is there any way OP can claim back the gas expense? Part of the reason I bought my Tesla was the gas savings. If someone caused me to be without use of my car and I was given a gas guzzler to drive...

Ever since I got rear ended I don't fear it anymore. Yes, I will be inconvenienced waiting for parts and having a loaner but the other guy is going to suffer more financial misery than I will. I will also keep my M3 until M3 battery range gets to 600 -700 miles before I sell it for an upgrade so...

Sorry to hear that you got rear-ended. The same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago and I am still waiting for parts :( I would highly suggest that if you don't have one already, to buy a dash cam which you can attach to the rear window as the Tesla dash cams and Sentry mode do not record video...

I bought the Apeman C420 and installed it on the rear window since Sentry Mode and TeslaCam don't record with the rear camera. This camera is small and difficult to see from the outside as the pano roof is tinted down to a certain level where I installed the dashcam. It was also super useful...

I was also rear-ended 2 weeks ago in San Jose. I ended up taking my Multicoat Red M3 to A Superior Collision Shop in Campbell as it is an approved Tesla body shop and was also on the other party's insurance company's (Statefarm) list of approved body shops. I considered going to go to the...

I was rear-ended last week that caused some cosmetic damage to my rear bumper (scratches). I reached out to [email protected] to schedule an appointment to inspect and repair my bumper and received the following response: "Just need a damage estimate – generally your insurance can...

Hi All, I am trying to apply for the PG&E EV Rebate and noticed that one of the requirements is: The applicant must have paid the vehicle's current registration fees and the vehicle must be registered in California to the address on the applicant’s PG&E account. I currently reside in CA but...

For those of us who bought a Model 3 without Autopilot prior to Autopilot being a standard feature on all Model 3s, what are the chances that we will get it as a free update?

Hi, I just bought a new M3 without Autopilot. During my test drive, the Tesla representative stated that I would be able to see surrounding vehicles on the screen even without Autopilot. Today on the drive home from the delivery center, I noticed that this was not the case. Can someone confirm...
