    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    Not at all. OP is merely explaining that actual range > predicted range if the car doesn’t get a chance to sleep and perform this process. Your M3 will be just as awesome to drive whether you do as OP did. As for reaching for the A/C, it’s muscle memory. I’m 61 and are ICE controls easier...

    Blog Tesla Will Move HQ Out of California After Fight Against Health Order

    Elon allows his hubris to get in the way of his point. He turns officials off because he can’t contain his swagger and won’t follow rules.

    What's the most surprising thing you've found once you got your Tesla?

    My partner just took delivery of a loaded 2019 MB convertible. The number of gauges, switches, levers etc on that car really made me appreciate the elegance of my M3’s interior. He hasn’t found anything (so far) that car does that the Tesla doesn’t. The Tesla touchscreen is a game changer.

    What's the most surprising thing you've found once you got your Tesla?

    Funny, just today I was reflecting on how much I enjoy the sound in my M3. Years of Priuses may have lowered my standards

    Ceramic recs in/around San Jose?

    Thanks for the recommendation - OCDetailing did a phenomenal job. I couldn't be happier. I didn't even mind the cost because the work and the whole experience were exceptional.

    Recommended USB drive for dashcam

    After updating to 24.4, I'm getting a message that my flash drive is full and needs to swapped out, except the files have been erased from both the flash drives I use. Waiting for the fix.

    Ceramic recs in/around San Jose?

    Thanks, I’ll check Joe out. I’ve learned that other than gasoline, very little about a Tesla is cheap.

    Ceramic recs in/around San Jose?

    Unfortunately not. Jeremy at Invisiguard did my wrap and he doesn’t do ceramic.

    White interior

    Do tell. I have the black interior but you’ve piqued my curiosity.

    Ceramic recs in/around San Jose?

    Now that I’ve done a full front PPF and have scheduled window tinting, it’s time to have a ceramic coating applied. Does anyone have a recommendation in San Jose or the South Bay? I’ve searched the archives without much luck.

    Free to good home - pano roof sunshade

    1. I’m not good at reading directions 2. I’m not good at following directions 3. I’m tired of driving around with it in my back seat because of 1 and 2 Spoiled by too many plug-and-play experiences in life to mess with it. Many people say it fits perfectly (it does) but to secure it, you have...

    Free to good home - pano roof sunshade

    I hope I’m not breaking any forum rules. I purchased a pano roof sunshade on amazon. It’s highly rated and works well, but after a couple of weeks, I don’t want to mess with it anymore. I’d like to give it to another M3 owner who is more patient than I am. You can find it here...

    Got Tired Of The EV Shuffle With Dealers And Bought A Tesla

    Congratulations! We’re happy for you. I’ve had my M3 for 3 months. It’s a thrill every time I see it in the driveway. Even the worst day at work melts away when I get in and drive away. I’m 60 and it’s the nicest, coolest car I’ve ever owned. I hope you get it sooner than they said.

    Same thing happened to me. Speed limit is also missing.

    Why doesn't the alarm trigger? Sentry useless?

    I live in the Bay Area and I addressed this by leaving the back seat on the drivers side down so thieves can see the trunk is empty. Not perfect but good enough IMO.

    Auto crack windows to let heat out during day parking?

    For those of us who live where there’s no rain in the summer, it would be a great feature.

    Returning Tesla M3 after awful delivery experience

    I think you got caught in the end of month delivery rush. I ordered my M3 on a Saturday at the end of March and the sales rep who test drove with me found an identical build except with DM for an extra $1,500 which they could deliver the next day. I specifically asked if it was undriven and what...

    Auto crack windows to let heat out during day parking?

    I second that. It would be great if it could be controlled from the app.

    I appreciate the TMC people

    TMC is nothing like the Tesla forums which remind me of reading the comments on CNN or BBC. I’ve learned so much from the generous people on this forum. Many of them may be thinking “read the manual” when responding but few articulate it. Whatever the secret sauce, it is part of the delight I...

    Software updates

    I was so excited about receiving the car that I forgot to set up the WiFi. As soon as I did and it was plugged in, I got the upgrade.

    Pickling up my Model 3 in Fremont tomorrow!

    Agree, I bought these too. Fit is good and other than the flashy emblem, they’re low profile.

    Tax Credits

    No but I second TurboTax. I’m a CPA and think it’s a quality product. I used to have rental property and a Schedule C business and it wasn’t a big deal.

    Exactly. I want them to drive it - driving brings a different level of appreciation for this car.

    Geeking out

    All my life I’ve been pragmatic. I’ve driven Toyotas and Hondas. I’ve never had a “nice” car, nor a fast car. Certainly not a beautiful car. My 2014 Prius Plug In was paid off. I was living an ordinary life until 11 days ago when I made an appointment to test drive the M3. 24 hours later, my...
