I was ready to buy the track package as I really love the rims and my tires are getting close to needing to be replaced, however, I read that it will lessen the range of the car. Does anyone know how much less range? Please specify whether you are talking from hearsay or talking from first...

I have my car wrapped by a person who does a lot of Teslas... no issues ever. My guess it either has nothing to do with the wrap or you used a person not familiar with Tesla.

My USB stick is always hot, but hasn't had any problems plugged in... might just be the specific one you bought

Just an update in case anyone else is having this issue... the above responses worked perfectly! I charged it to 90% overnight, then before I was going to head out, I charged to 95% then didn't charge it until it was in the 20% range. It only took one time and now it's back to normal.

YUCK! The only reason to use a seat cover in my opinion is if you're going to the beach or something or have your dogs in the car. Also, make sure the seat cover has the proper openings for the Model 3's seat airbags.

Bay Area problems, so glad I moved out of there lol. They will literally break into your car if you have a grocery bag in your car. I've never lived in a city where the majority of my friends including myself have had their car broken into while parked. In San Francisco where I lived they...

Thank you, while it's happened a few times since March 27, I've charged it many times and I've yet to charge it outside yet... but I will keep an eye on it when I do have the chance... I have a long road trip planned in June, but nothing multi-days until then.

I love my performance... was going to get the long range instead, but the performance and handling is just so amazing... the LR is still great, but the performance is like a supercar.

Not often, but more than a few times while my car is in the middle of charging, it will come up and say "stopped charging" the port is red, if I unplug it and put it back in, still same message... and then by itself maybe 30 minutes later it will say "charging" and be normal again... Is this a...

Mine crashed while driving... I restarted it and it hasn't happened again

thank you so much guys!

I have no problem with those, I just wish they’d get rid of the chrome. It looks like they noticed a ton of people are getting chrome delete and it seems the Y defaults with black trim which is nice.

Ok perfect haha, that makes me feel better. I appreciate it.

Thanks! Are you saying I should charge to 90% in general even after it goes back to normal? My sales agent said to plug it every day to 80%, but he was wrong about a lot of things, so I’m all open to hear best charging methods from you guys lol.

Thank you i will try that tomorrow. I have a long drive anyways tomorrow so that will work out perfectly. I’ll post back if it fixed it.

I charge my car to 80% and when I first got it, it would say 249 miles range when charge complete. It dropped to 248 last week. Today its at 245. I got the car March 27 and never charged it past 80%. Is there a simple solution to this? Thanks

I wasn't going to order autopilot, well back then it was enhanced autopilot. Anyways, I ended up doing it and it's surprisingly the most amazing feature of the car. I'm the kind of person who likes driving, that's why I got the performance model after all. However, using autopilot is...

Is there tint on it?

Anyone have any recommendations. I'm looking to swap my 20'' performance tires on new 20'' rims?

Thank you guys! It's not desirable, but at least I now know I should expect a response. Tesla is lucky they make the most amazing cars because their customer service is... lol

I posted before regarding a promised free upgrade from EAP to FSD. I sent an email a week ago to their customer service email and through my tesla account. I haven't received a response from either. Is this normal? I don't want to bombard them with emails, so I thought I'd first ask here to see...

Glad you are okay! This is why I no longer let anyone change lanes if it requires me to slow down. I’m not an arse that speeds up as soon as someone signals, but I no longer slow down to let them in because crap like this happens.

I forgot to give an update... my car came with the DUAL MOTOR or whatever badge with the underline thingy. I don't have the spoiler yet though.

New Model 3... better size IMO and more clean interior

I already told them I'm not interested, but if anyone asks about my wrap, I'm happy to also tell them about your friend's business too. Yes, he said that he can put anything on the tires and any color.

Yes, that was my initial impression too. I'm going to tell them thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. Thanks guys!

I don't know how I feel about them... the views in this thread will likely decide for me if I get enough opinions... otherwise I'll be left more indecisive than before lol. I know I wouldn't want all the graphics as in the example, but I also don't know if I want anything at all.

My car is getting wrapped as we speak, it's the car in the actual photo. One of the shop's buddies is starting putting graphics on tires and his BMW is the same color as mine and is asking if I want any graphics on my tires. He said he would do it for free, any color, any writing... he is just...

I'm looking to buy 3rd party tires/rims to replace my new performance ones, but only if I can find a place to sell them at a reasonable price. I've never tried to sell wheels before, do I just called local shops or is there a better way?

The car looks SO much better without the Prius covers, nice job!

I didn’t read the details on your post but if you are thinking about buyone one... do it. You will never want to go back to an ICE car again, trust me!

America’s tipping culture is already out of hand, can we not make it an expected thing in every industry? I get it if the tech does something for free that he should have charged but pretty soon we will be tipping anyone who even looks at us.

What cars have you had that do this? I've had Mercedes, BMW, Lexus most recently and none of them if they are still within 4 years or 50,000 miles charge a diagnostic fee if they don't find anything. They would just simply say we couldn't find anything wrong and I'd be on my way.

Never had to pay for a noise issue on other car makes... only thing would be negligence on my part.

Yeah I have to open the door first OR unlock through the phone app. I was also wondering if there is a way for it to know my phone is on me and allow me to take it out.

The people who said they would take delivery despite those big scratches... would you also wear Elon Musk's turds as ear rings if he gave them to you? lol joking, but seriously, would you?

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B076GDSRTV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's now unavailable, rip... probably just out of stock. On Adam's website, they sell their own foam gun for hoses... here is the link, I'm sure it will work just as well... it's more expensive...

Both cars look amazing... I actually like how the Y looks more because it comes default with chrome delete. Now if you chrome delete the Model 3... then it's a tough one... The model 3 has the better front and the model y has the better rear.

Not to mention ICE cars catch fire every day in accidents, it's just not news worthy. The media tries to make it seem as if you have a higher chance on getting burned alive in an EV, stats show this is not true. #fakemedia

That's probably it!

Thanks, good to know

Glad you are okay, do you think AP was disabled because you didn't move the wheel when it flashes blue to make sure you are still there? I've never seen what happens if you don't... does it just turn off or does it sound an alarm?

lol I know where you are coming from. I'm getting my car wrapped, so I will have no choice but to hand wash it.

Pretty much this, before my Tesla, I bought a brand new BMW 4 series. I took it to a highly reviewed automatic car wash that isn't touchless. It looks great afterwards, but when I go to detail it by hand, I see millions of tiny scratches. If I hadn't of done a thorough hand wash, I probably...

My main concern regarding reliability is more on the availability of parts. I've heard people waiting weeks and even months for a body shop to finally get Tesla parts. I haven't needed to test this out and hope I never have to, but that's my only concern long-term. I think resale value will...

From reading the forums, you'd think you are in the very rare minority. I don't know where reality actually is... I took delivery on March 27th and for the most part my panels are pretty good... around one light it's big and on the drivers side the panels don't line up. Not a big deal at all...

Go to Amazon.com and buy the following... Adam's Tire Shine Adam's Interior Detailer Adam's Glass Cleaner Chemical Guys Detailing Bucket Chemical Guys Cyclone Dirt Trap Foam King Deluxe Car Wash Sprayer (This will act as a foam gun, but works with a regular hose, no pressure washer needed)...

Thank you both! I appreciate it.

I let it sit from 2AM to 12PM and it only lost 1 mile of range. Pretty darn good :)

Mine will probably wear out fast, but at no fault to Tesla or the tires. I bought the performance model and I'm always using that acceleration when I can lol.
