    Clearance under front valance

    Why analog solutions when you have radar that shows on your screen how far away from an object your car is?

    Car Colorizer Allows You to Customize The Looks of Your Tesla

    V11 quick controls toggle?

    If you touch either the < or > temperature control (or press and hold the temperature?) the quick controls pane comes up. This update needs an update urgently. All this hunting for so many buried basic controls is profoundly unsafe when driving, and it's beyond absurd.

    Flaky charge port door after latest upgrade?

    Great to discover this post because I thought it was just me. I even set up a remote service appt., and they're still coming … unless a patch comes in the meantime.

    Separate wheels or seasonal tire swap?

    Definitely buy a set of 18" with winter tires. 18 because you certainly don't need low-profiles for snow/ice. OEM w/ Aero covers help a little with range.

    Sentry Mode stopped working (2021.4.12)

    My Sentry mode failed me epically in a parking lot this week. When I came out of a store I was met with a significant dent on the crest of driver's door with lost paint, requiring body work. I have to pay the deductible and I'm really pissed off. 🤬 Evidently Tesla has messed something up if...

    Chrome Add Thread for 2021 M3

    Old guy here (58). Embrace the chrome… except the frunk emblem – cleaner without IMO. I like the black trim too though it looks better on certain colors that others, but am happy with with the classic blue + silver combo. Not sure I'd add more chrome embellishments, fine as is. Wheels are TSW...

    X-Ice XI3 on Model 3 AWD

    I have a LR RWD with 18" X-Ice and couldn't be more confident driving in snow. I had trepidation of RWD in snow (even knowing the weight distribution is unlike anything in a RWD ICE car) because I live in a very hilly New England area. I will go out on a limb and say the RWD Model 3 performs in...

    Full Self Driving: To Get It or Not to Get It?

    Exactly this. It's a terrific car to actually drive, and the AP is enough for me on highways. I have no interest in Summon or my car being a "robo taxi". :rolleyes:

    Model 3 - Tips for dog owners

    A back seat hammock is a must (one that prevents them stepping on the center console), and learn to live with some flying stray hairs (if you have a heavy shedder like me, you already live with it). And most importantly, try to ignore his nose paintings on the rear doors glass and wash only when...

    My "Ultra Blue" Model 3

    One of the most "put together" Model 3s I've seen so far. This comes from a 57 YO guy who never did that heavy decorating *sugar*, but man, that's very well done.

    Expiring miles on June 30

    I've never used a minute of my 1000 free miles and mine expire soon as well. I was surprised and a bit pissed that they even expire at all – I always thought it'd be practically limitless, like a gift card. They got to sell another vehicle but then they take away my perk?! Dirty. I was able to...

    Embrace the chrome. Classic with blue IMO.

    Firearm storage model 3 [and other firearms discussion]

    EAP to FSD - bite the bullet now or risk it?

    I would've liked FSD. Didn't want to part with more money. It doesn't stay with the buyer. I can't imagine regulation in my lifetime. I love actually driving my Model 3. So I'm completely fine without it, cool as it is.

    Yes, much to the chagrin of my GF.

    Deep Blue Metallic - Show me pictures of your car today!

    Right after I swapped the Aeros – that now have winter tires – for these this Spring before things greened up. Embrace the chrome – which looks great on blue IMO. Not lowering it (as much as I like that look) for New England winters.

    TPMS reset learning failure

    I recently put rotary-forged TWS wheels with original rubber on (relegating the Aeros to winter driving) and twice the TPMS reset learning failed. I contacted Tesla and a tech said, “I think it's specifically the sensors inside of the wheels - they may not be compatible with our vehicle's TPMS...

    To Front Badge or To Not Front Badge

    Looks great! I did the same, and mine is blue as well. Looks so much better IMO – though my GF disagrees and still asks why I did that.

    Thank you for the super fast reply! Cheers, friend!

    Lightweight wheel owners - your feedback on unsprung reduction vs stock

    Can I hopefully get a pretty quick reply from you? I'm about to order 18" Nurburgrings and the manufacturer is saying they should be 9" to clear the brake calipers – I was going for 8.5". What width are you running? I wanted to keep the stock 235/45-18 until I needed to replace them. Thanks!

    Lightweight wheel owners - your feedback on unsprung reduction vs stock

    Thanks man! Those look great … but alas, I'm still undecided on finish. Window tint looks really good too – what % is that?

    Lightweight wheel owners - your feedback on unsprung reduction vs stock

    Do you have other photos of your Nurburgrings on your car? I'm on the fence about the gunmetal vs. the mirror-cut finish and I'm hoping some photos of these on another blue Model 3 will help me decide. Thanks in advance.

    M3 rear view mirror auto dimming not dimming enough

    My rearview and side mirrors started not dimming at dusk about two months ago but then dimming at around 5:45 PM (when it was already dark in wintry New England) regardless of light input. Service advisor said it's a known issue though a firmware update is not available yet. I'd really like an...

    Exactly the wheel I'm getting (in mirror cut finish) when Spring arrives.

    Winter Tires on Model 3

    I have a LR RWD and that too was my profound concern, especially since I live in a very hilly area of central MA. I put X-Ices on the stock Aeros (new wheels in the Spring for the stock rubber) and came away super impressed! I even stopped on a hill and started off without it slipping at all. I...

    Alignment after snow tires – take apart back end to align rear?! Whaaa?

    I had no idea I'd need to do what has always been a simple tire swap service at a Tesla dealership. They credited me the alignment cost. Not sure if the regen is affected by the Michelins, but it has been less for sure, as expected, since it's been colder. I don't see how soft tires affect...

    Alignment after snow tires – take apart back end to align rear?! Whaaa?

    I had four X-Ice snows mounted on the stock 18" wheels (new wheels in the Spring) along with an alignment at Town Fair Tire this weekend. Car tracked fine but the steering wheel was cocked to the left a bit … which is not acceptable – it was straight when it came in, it's just 8 months old, and...

    Order FSD now?

    Quoting you quoting me. :D Man, with the price jump now imminent, I started questioning myself again and went to my account page, looked at the FSD checkbox, and then came here. So, thanks for your post. Perhaps one day FSD will really be what it claims it will be, and will no doubt be more $ to...

    Order FSD now?

    I’ve been on the fence and decided a couple weeks ago that $6K (for me to get FSD) is a gamble not worth taking. Autosteer and the general dynamics of the Model 3 is fine for me. It’s a GREAT car to ACTUALLY DRIVE! Plus, I’ll spend a portion of that savings on 3-season wheels/tires relegating...

    Tesla took away my standard AP

    1) It was a joke, man. 2) Never asked for a freebie, or a 3K discount as someone else said. 3) Thanks.

    Tesla took away my standard AP

    I didn't know the base price increased at that time, but in hindsight I should have assumed so. I guess that renders this post irrelevant now.

    Tesla took away my standard AP

    First post, and I’m griping, though I otherwise love my car. I took delivery of my LR RWD Model 3 late March and decided to buy standard AP the day before. At the dealer they apologetically said the paperwork would take an extra hour because of the late AP addition. No problem, I understand and...
