Thanks for posting this. I think I have the exact same issue. was about to post a new thread and TMC prompted this thread. Got winter exchange done recently from….. Costco and getting a whooshing sound from rear passenger tire. Sounds like I have the same issue. Will have to take it back.

I had the exact same issue in my 2nd winter. The same experience as OP described. Nothing on start off but after a while, fog and no cruise control. Didn’t really figure out a solution. Thankfully, it would go away after a while. It happend towards the end of the winter season. If it happens...

The spring that keeps the frunk locked is pretty hard. I replaced the spring with one that’s more flexible and closing the frunk is much softer now. You will be able to search for it in the forum.

I came from a BMW 5 series. I am 5’ 8” and the front in the M3 has plenty of space for me. Never sat in the back myself but I think the back is ok too. Have driven 2 average sized adults a few times and they were comfortable. For back passengers, knees do have a slightly raised position due to...

the charged me 45$ a piece for my other car. Funnily enough, they couldn’t program them to work with my older honda. Had to take it to Discount Tire. If you take your own TPMS to costco, they might say they’ll do it this time but you really got to buy it from them.

I got these In spring for my summer set. No issues till Nov when I switched to winters. ITM. No programming needed. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N794NG1/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_NuFWFbD1MF2H8

Mine arrived a while back, so dont remember exactly, but it was faster than I had expected. I would say between 1 to 2 weeks. Came via Fedex. Didn’t get a tracking number but i get texts from Fedex for enroute packages and that’s how i found out it was on the way.

Finally installed my DIY today. Took about 3 hrs, of which 30 mins were wasted looking for the right screwdriver head to remove the one screw on the driver side. Also found out that you don’t need to remove the larger panel on the driver side like some videos show. Only need to remove the...

My SR is rated at 225 wh/mi.... the dashed line on the consumption screen.

SR or SR+?

First off, overall, I like AS. Wouldn’t live without it. That said, there is definite room for improvement. The biggest issue i have is how it handles merging lanes. Just at the point the merge happens and the dividing line disappears, AS will yank the car to position it in the middle of the now...

March 2019. 20k+ miles. Lifetime is around the rated 225 wh/mi. Not sure of the exact as i accidentally cleaned out the lifetime odometer :( and don’t use any 3rd party apps. Don’t drive crazy but live in Milwaukee, so..... Plug it in as much as possible. Charge to 80% almost daily. when i was...

Does anybody know if the DIY will work for SR model? It has 1 or 2 additional speakers turned off as compared to SR+, so wanted to check. I do have the rear speakers, so that’s good. March 2019 buy.

A wash does wonders, especially for a black car.... alas, it rained soon after :( 1.5 yrs.. 20k miles in.. still loving it :)

all the paint came off actually and if that plus the small crack at the bottom of the bumper was it, i would have thanked my lucky star and moved on. The issue is the fender that has the pointy edge by the headlight sticking out. Can’t see that getting repaired. Will have to be replaced. Will...

deductible is $500. Only have a pothole claim in the last 5 years. Got in touch with Tesla and they asked me to get in touch with a local, authorized repair shop. Will be getting a quote from them soon. I am thinking it will be in the 3-4k range as the fender will need to be replaced as well...

So, I f’ed up yesterday. Stopped in front of a large commercial garage door to park. It had one of those short vertical metal poles to the left front of the car. I use hold, so car was in hold but not in park yet. Forgot about that and in trying to get out, foot went on the accelerator, car...

Winter... was on the fence then saw the news about pile up in chicago

Finally completed the chrome delete. Took a long time to muster the courage to do the mirrors and the side cameras. The side cameras are the most difficult to get 100% clean. Mine still aren’t but good enough... for now.

i also went with gloss on the vinyl and on the rims. went back and forth between gloss and matt for vinyl and rims but in the end went with gloss. Looks very good to me.

I don't have those (mine is a SR) but I did delete the logos on my own. Traced the outline on paper with a pencil. Created thin cardboard cutout and cut vinyl using that as stencil. Cumbersome but it turned out good.

i am not a tax expert but I don't think this is correct. I sold my car in 2019, was using standard mileage deduction. As I was going through TurboTax, I realized that there is a depreciation component within the standard mileage deduction factor (I think it's 0.25 out of 0.575) and when you sell...

Very timely. I just got done installing Nikola kit for the mirrors. Had done rest of the car prior using standard 2 inch vinyl. Mirrors are tricky but they have split the material into 10 parts and the video is very thorough. Nikola provides a spare set in case you mess up. I did have to use...

I am on 2020.12.5. Was parking in the garage and noticed a small orange smudge to the left front of the car in the display. Enlarged it and, lo and behold, it was a traffic cone! Not sure if it was a fluke, a bug or if it's gonna be available on 2.5 HW with just standard AP. I had read only on...

Downgraded from SR+ to SR about a month back. Missed charging to 100% in SR+ config just before downgrade but 80% was always in 190 range. Right after SR, 100% is at 209. Can't be battery degradation. Tesla locked too much capacity. Have been hoping an update will fix it but...

I had plastidipped the door handles originally but now have vinyl on the handles and the window trim (minus the rear view mirrors. Those are really tricky and I haven’t found the time yet). 2 issues with dip. The dip will get into the gaps between handles/ trim and the body. It’s not visible but...

We are talking about 2 different things. I get that I will lose some miles when driving based on a myriad of factors and I am fine with it. I do anywhere between 180 wh/mi to 240 wh/mi based on conditions, speed and how I am feeling at the moment (spirited vs normal). My only issue is, when I...

I do enjoy the car but I do want to get to the bottom of this. I went back and forth on the decision to downgrade and having 220 miles of rated range is important. Losing extra 11 miles will hurt in winter (i am in Wisconsin after all) and on trips. And Tesla advertises 220, so...

Let me explain. I had SR+ for about 5 months. Charged to 100% a coule of times and car would show 239 miles. Elected to downgrade to SR about 2 weeks ago and it only shows 209 at 100% charge. I get that the range is an estimate and all but how do you explain this discrepancy at 100% charge? Only...

Does you car actually show 220 range at 100% charge? I recently downgraded to SR and my 100% went from 239 miles to 209 miles . You are the first person I have seen on forums saying you get 220. Tesla said it should normalize to 220 but it doesn’t make sense to me. Seems like they locked more...

In Wisconsin, annual registration is about 100, 15 for personlaized and 100 for EV surcharge

Regarding patching run flat tires - it depends where the puncture is. if it's in/ near the sidewall, can't be repaired. Costco replaced a brand new tire for me after having it for only like 5 days as it was too close to the side wall. it compromises the tires load bearing capability. if it's in...

No issues when the truck is centered but that isn't always the case. Sometimes they are too close to the line and sometimes even on or a little over or they move closer as you start to pass. That gets too close for comfort. In such case, would be good for the car to move a little to the other...

This makes sense. The display is different for trucks with and without the side skirts. Without the skirts, it shows 2 trucks. With the skirt, the truck display keeps jumping back and forth. I am not as worried about what might happen if the semi makes any sudden moves but more amused that...

I am not talking about the more severe issue of not recognizing a cross traffic (perpendicular) semi, i am taking about a semi moving in the same direction. It either shows up as a smaller truck or as 2 smaller trucks, especially when passing it. Feels like AP struggles to figure out what it is...

Yep, push it up... at least on my M3 with basic AP, it cancels AP/AS.

I should have said FSD/ EAP.

I have noticed it too. Not sure if there is any valid reason for it or just a bug. I have also noticed the turn signal some times not disengaging after 3 cycles even when i did the half push. More bugs i suppose. @hydro 481 on cars without full AP, when on auto steer, turn signal is supposed to...

I didn’t tint the windshield. I never do. Rest of the car is also not that dark, 35%. Looks darker as pic was taken at night. The wheels look fine to me, so not touching them for now. May be later.

First black car and really happy going all (most) black. Tint was professionally done. Chrome delete is DIY. Took some effort and has some minor issues but I love how it turned out. Very happy :)

They are either trying to act dumb or Tesla is doing a horrible job of informing its teams. A corporate guy I worked with to buy my SR+ said there is no way to downgrade retroactively and the chat lady told me to visit a store. BS all around. Just sent a mail to customer support. Let’s see.

I was thinking of writing a very similar post but you beat me to it... and I am glad you did. Better written than I could have! I do have some differences though - I got a SR+ with AP only and am coming from a loaded 2012 528. My thoughts so far... - M3 is quick but not considerably.. I...

I got the exact same shock :-( Sadly, using a VIN made no difference. Don't know why GEICO is quoting such a high collision for M3.... 500+. you can try this VIN 5YJ3E1A8KF297666 AmFam is about 300 cheaper for me over 6 months
