    Apply light force to steering wheel 5 seconds after applying force to wheel

    I drove to the dentist today which is about a 40 minute trip one way. On the way home, l engaged FSD to try it out on a route I haven't used it on before. I'm not sure why, but I decided to put my hands at the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock. I didn't have any nags at all during the entire 40 min...

    10.9 FSD

    I tend to agree with the mailbox theory. I have a narrow road (one lane in each direction) near my home where the mailboxes are very close to the edge of the road, or slightly overhanging (no curbs). This is where I see phantom braking the most, and also, on occasion, when a large vehicle is...

    No turn on red signs

    10.5 also does not support 'Right turn keep moving' at stop signs. Not a safety issue but annoying, especially to people following!

    Does tire size affect the displayed range?

    I think the previous posters were talking about miles of range, not mph. If you are referring to mph (how did you determine the mph difference?), continue reading. As mentioned previously in this thread, if you are running the Model 3 stock 18 and 19 inch tires sizes, the difference in mph...

    2021.32.22 Autopilot worse than driving without it

    For Android, you have to look under Safety Score on the 4.1.0-663 version of the Tesla app. You also need to take a drive after installing this version for your score to come up.

    Please help read license plate from Sentry Clip

    Looks like LMG 7245 to me but I'm old and half blind so... Good Luck with your search!

    2021.4.15.12 now...?

    I am retired and drive my car about 4 to 5 times a week, mostly short trips to run errands. I only use autopilot a times a week though!

    2021.4.15.12 now...?

    I just got the 2021.4.18 update to download also (from.2021.4.15.12). I think l will ignore it for now! I also have FSD.

    Black M3 So dirty after rain!

    So, I'm on the more mature side (older) and have owned probably a half of dozen black cars in my lifetime. I would buy one, get thoroughly discusted with the speed of dirt accumulation, and sell the car. After approximately 6 to 8 years, l would forget about the PITA constant cleaning (one of...

    No logo on new side repeater

    This is most likely a quality assurance issue where the parts came in the door missing the logo and someone signed off using them to keep production going. Tesla probably thinks there will be very little push back from customers so the risk is acceptable. Either the customer won't notice, they...

    2021.4.10 installing in Toronto, Canada

    I got it too! I was on 2021.4.3. Same release notes... minor bug fixes!

    Auto dimming mirrors

    Yeah, it would! But I'm not hopeful either. I can't see it happening if the wires aren't part of the harnesses to both mirrors. It would be stange though, if in five years the 6 to 7 months of production we happen to fall into were the only ones without auto dimming mirrors.

    Auto dimming mirrors

    What is your production date? Mine is early March 2020. I though l read somewhere that the wires for the auto dimming feature were still there after Tesla stopped installing the mirrors for some amount of time.

    Auto dimming mirrors

    So approximately the last 7 months of the Model 3 production does not have auto dimming mirrors. I wonder if Tesla will offer a free retrofit for those of us that don't have the feature but would like to?

    Does tire size affect the displayed range?

    Since I believe all the stock Tesla Model 3 wheel and tire packages have the same tire O.D., I don't believe there is any speed adjustment to be made. The tire O.D. is the only factor that will affect mph.

    Does tire size affect the displayed range?

    So what would be the factors between the 18", 19" and 20" wheels that would affect range? I understand the weight could affect the range but that will likely be inconsistent. All wheels have varying weights regardless of diameter (cast, flow forged, forged, etc.) and so do tires, depending on...

    New/Recent M3 owners. Which Charging cable did your car come with?

    For me, it wasn't the cost as much as the fact that at the time I traded in my 2018 Model 3 AWD for the 2020 Model 3 Performance (March 2020), the 14-50 adapter was not available. As it turns out, the SA told me that if I wanted to remove any aftermarket parts I had added and replace them...

    Best Song for Premium Audio?

    I think myself to be somewhat of an audiophile (Audio Research, Cambridge Audio, Sonus Faber) and I consider the Premium Audio system in the M3 to be very good and as @Saturday stated, especially for a car. It has a great soundstage and the dynamic range and sonics are above average. The...

    Cheap M3 Wheels

    Any potential buyers should verify that these wheels will fit the Model 3. The Wheel Plus ad at the bottom of the Ebay page states the bolt pattern is 5 x 120 (Model S) rather than 5 x 114.3 (Model 3). Probably just a typo but better to be safe than sorry.

    RPM Model 3 Performance Carbon Fiber Spoiler, Matte finish

    This matte finish spoiler is very hard to photograph without shadows and glare on some part of the spoiler. I took a couple of pics instead of one to get better angles... hopefully, it shows a little better. Still has never been installed and the red removable strip is still in place.

    Help me decide: 2019 Model 3 performance vs 2017 Model S 75D (or 90D)

    I vote for the Model 3. I've been driving sports cars and sports sedans my entire driving life, approximately 52 years, so that's what I prefer. To me, the Model 3 is much 'sportier' due to it's acceleration, handling and overall size. I understand that the Model S has some variants that are...

    Abstract Ocean Front Trunk Auto Lift Kit

    Try one strut at a time. I purchased my front struts from Amazon but had the same shaking when opening. I put one snow strut and one existing strut. It still shakes a little but is much better. I plan on switching sides on a regular basis to keep hinge wear even.

    Self Referral Possible ?

    It looks like you can't get a self referal on the Model Y but you can on the Model 3. I traded my LR_AWD for a Model 3 Performance on March 20th and received 1000 hrs of free supercharging.

    Whose M3 has NEVER been back to SC for ANY reason? Any??

    I had my previous 2018 LR_AWD Model 3 for 14 months without a SC visit (or mobile). I purchased the car used 2 months after it was made so it's possible the orginal owner got all the kinks out before I bought it. I traded it in on a 2020 Performance model on March 20th, after getting the HW3...

    RPM Model 3 Performance Carbon Fiber Spoiler, Matte finish

    Probably dirt/fingerprints... my phone has 3 lenses so it's easy to touch the lense cover when handling the phone. I can clean the lense and retake the picture in the morning and post it.

    RPM Model 3 Performance Carbon Fiber Spoiler, Matte finish

    You are correct... didn't see the 20% off banner at the top of the webpage I will take 20% off my price. New price is $220.00 shipped in the conus. It's only fair! Tom

    RPM Model 3 Performance Carbon Fiber Spoiler, Matte finish

    New unused carbon fiber spoiler with matte finish for sale. Still has the unused double side tape on it and will be shipped in the original box with the original packing. This looks just like the OEM spoiler that comes on the Performance Model 3. I traded in my LR-AWD Model 3 for a...

    What are you interested in? The two center and lug nut cap kits are sold. The spoiler I will ship at buyers expense. I am not ready to ship the wheels and tires just yet. BTW, the performance wheel center caps are included in the sale of wheels and tires. Forgot to mention that in my...

    FS: 20" Dark Grey Wheels and Tires from 2020 P3D+

    Selling the wheels and tires from my new P3D+ (March 2020 build) with 31 miles on them. They were removed immediately after arriving home from picking up the car. I am old school and like chrome so I had a set of 19" wheels and tires waiting in my garage and switched them over. Local pick up...

    Installed OEM mud flaps - found this bolt under my model 3. Any ideas?

    Looks like the bolt that holds the rear mud flap to the bottom of the fender at the back of the rear wheel well.

    2020.12.1

    I don't think you need to have FSD to see the visualizations... you just need HW3. I do not have FSD and I can see cones, stop signs, taffic lights and trash cans. Of course you need to turn on the FSD visualizations in the settings. I think they let everyone see them as part of a marketing...

    New cars coming with 2019.35.108 V10.1 ?

    Coronavirus affects Tesla dealers in PA

    After posting this thread, I spoke with my SA who said he was told they would only be closed for a week. I'm not sure I believe that but wanted to pass it on. Maybe a reason for some optimism?

    Coronavirus affects Tesla dealers in PA

    I don't think they have a Model Y for sale or to test drive. My SA said they are scarce right now and the ones they delivered were ordered quite a while ago. The Model Y looks to be taller which is where I think they get their storage... definitely bigger inside than the 3. Very nice looking...

    Coronavirus affects Tesla dealers in PA

    That's what I though and why I couldn't pass it up. A new Performance Model 3 with new warranties and a improvement of 2 model years (from 2018 to 2020) for $9,990 plus ~ $2,000 in taxes and fees (of course). Well worth it... at least for me. By the way, there were two other trade-ins there...
