I just took delivery of a 2021 M3LR. This is my first Tesla with HW3 (previously had 2016 model x and 2019 model 3). I did not purchase FSD with my new 3, but the regular highway AP felt smoother to me than my other older Teslas. Is that normal? Does HW2.5 and HW3 run different AP on...

Sighting of a Model Y Performance at Santa Clarita, CA supercharger today...

Anything would be better than nothing. But $2-3k cheaper would be good. What made stealth M3 a great deal is that it was only $2k more than the LR AWD M3. And it’s pretty much a performance version without the wheels, brakes, lowering spring, and spoiler.

By not opting for the performance upgrade options, shouldn’t it be cheaper? I am all for the smaller wheels for better efficiency, longer tire life, and more comfort, but there should be some saving by not getting the larger wheels, bigger brakes, and spoiler.

thanks, I’ll give it a shot

It seems like there’s been a few occasions lately the door hasn’t unlocked when I tried to open it and I had to get the phone out of my pocket and wave it around before it unlocks. My wife has had to use the key card a few times too. We’ve had the same phones, so it shouldn’t be because of...

thanks for checking. I just signed up.

it would be cool if someone can do the same with the front/rear view to see how much wider it is...

Right, the keys would have to be made of out something harder than the cold-rolled steel to scratch the body right?

Just got my email confirmation and it's in my account too

nope still haven’t gotten an email confirmation either. Saw the pending charge on the credit card though

well played... :)

Normal keys shouldn’t be able to scratch the body, right?

I did not get an email either. I grabbed a screenshot of the confirmation page though...

Ordered the dual motor... still getting used to the design, but the specs are great...

Does that mean you'll need to take the ring off and put it in the key card spot when you drive too?...

Congrats on your purchase!

Actually, I'll add one to the list. The foot-activated read liftgate is a nice feature. Would any of the Mach-E features sway you to buy one instead of a Model Y?

It seems like for the most part Ford is only matching Tesla specs/features. Is there anything that seems BETTER than Tesla? I am just trying to think why someone would pick Mach-E over Model Y (aside from being a Tesla-hater or Ford-lover). The single dial on the screen seems creative, but...

I know people that live in condos with no charging options and they just live exclusively off super chargers. No battery issues. And if your commute is so short, you can easily live off 120v. I think you get about 2-3 miles per hour charging. regarding security, Tesla does have sentry mode...

Maybe nobody wants to sell their 3’s yet? There isn’t anything to tempt people to upgrade yet (model y not out yet, no change in appearance inside or outside...) More demand than there are supply?

I like my Road Comfort mats... the pattern is a bit different than some of the other all weather mats. Road Comforts Tesla Model 3 Custom Fit Floor Mats - 2017-2019 - Protect Floor from Dirt, Mud, Snow, Slush & Water - Front and Second Row (4pcs) (Black)...

how does it compare to Tesla autopilot?

That manual door handles is only for emergency only. I've found a lot of good stuff on this forum and on Youtube. There are also official videos from Tesla in the Theater section (post v10).

Oh, this could be cool....

Just to throw out there, even the SR+ isn't a "slow" car. In day-to-day driving, it easily has enough power for any merging/passing...

Hopefully you can take advantage of the situation! A good deal on a stealth P would be pretty awesome.

Thanks. It's good to know what Tesla uses as baseline Wh/mi.

I thought SR/SR+ had the Partial Premium Interior, which doesn't include fog lamps?

I think the earlier builds have a different rear seat? SR and SR+ trims don't have fog lights, but not sure how easy that is to tell. If the car has a satellite map view, then it has premium interior (so it's not a SR or SR+) Performance is the only one with the 20in wheels, but they look...

I’ll try turning off sentry mode tomorrow. Thanks for the ideas everyone. I was just nervous that I had a defective battery or something.

Oops, messed up the mileage completely. It’s 35-40 miles round trip and eating up about 60 miles range. So 40 miles driving plus 11 hours parked with sentry mode gets in the ball park of 60 miles. Not as bad as I was thinking... We are coming from a 2017 BMW i3 and that car tends to UNDER...

Good ideas. Just to answer some of the questions... I live in Los Angeles. It’s not too hot or too cold right now. About low 80s. The 20 miles is round trip, so if there are any range lost due to change in elevation, the round trip should even it out. At work, it’s parked in an underground...

We are fairly new SR+ owners. Our 3 has less than a thousand miles so far. Our daily commute is about 15-20 miles but it usually eats up about 60 miles of range. Is this normal? We are not really driving the car hard. Most of the commute is stop and go traffic...

Do you keep a hand on the wheel at all times? Do you nudge the wheel only when it prompts? How about your feet? Do you hover over the pedals? We just got a Model 3 last week so we are still learning how to “drive” with Auto Pilot. Any tips on using Auto Pilot are welcome. Thanks.

This is interesting. I've never heard of them. Not sure if I trust a $600 open source product to drive my car... Is it just working off data from one camera too?

Does any other manufacturer have comparable AutoPilot features (even just the basic EAP capabilities of dynamic cruise control + lane assist)? Has anybody tried the competitive AutoPilot implementations? Just curious how far of a lead Tesla has...
