Like you, I don't trust the "walk away" lock either. I always keep one of the key cards in my pants pocket and just tap the B-pillar on the driver's side as I'm leaving and ensure it's locked. I find key fobs in general a bit of a pain to continually carry around, but the key card in my front...

Same here. I have 115,000 miles on my 2018 M3P with no bearing issues. I do enjoy its acceleration periodically, but in general I'm a pretty gentle driver.

I guess I've been exceedingly lucky. I've been running 20" wheels for over 112,000 miles with no wheel or tire damage yet. Now that I've said that, I'll probably hit a giant pothole today and ruin my record.

I have just over 110,000 miles on my M3P (2018) and no issues with the wheel bearings as far as I can tell. I'm not terribly hard on the car though.

I believe I used a link on their web site to contact them (it's been a while), but subsequently have been dealing with "Queenie Tsui" at Ohmmu. The e-mail for Queenie is "[email protected]". Couple of notes to pass along, I eventually did receive the Tesla "battery requires replacement alert"...

My 2018 M3P has about 110,000 miles on it now, and I have no intention on getting rid of it, even if it needs new suspension components or even a new motor outside of warranty coverage. My philosophy has always been that if the car is not rusting out from under me, I lean towards fixing it. I...

I placed this label in my charge port - no guarantee that the person will take the time to text me, but I figured it might help reduce the likelihood of someone just yanking the charger out when using an adapter. Obviously this wouldn't apply to chargers using the NACS plug since it's locked in...

I had my M3P's upper control arms replaced at 75,000 miles and the Service Center did the replacement at no cost to me (Goodwill). They did not mention anything about replacing the lateral or lower links. The car has been quiet since then with no issues that I'm aware of. By the way, I didn't...

I also live on top of a hill, and had a large fir tree hit by lightning that was about 20 feet from the north end of my home. The electrician came to the same conclusion you did. It traveled up my ground rods into my home electrical supply and blew out my double oven, satellite receivers, all...

Since I've had my M3P for over five years now, I'm guessing that it probably was still under warranty. It was a relatively quick fix though (I just waited for it to be completed at the Service Center), and the noise is related to what we call in the aerospace industry as "oil canning" of the...

On my 2018 M3P, I heard about a replacement battery compartment "vent" that could be installed to replace the original vents that minimized the sound of the "bang" when Supercharging. I requested the service and it was performed rather quickly at the Service Center at no cost. It did seem to...

Ohmmu sent me one of the bluetooth battery replacements too, and similarly, no issues since then. They've always treated me well so no complaints from my perspective.

I just turned 95,000 miles on my 2018 M3P and requested service to have the oil and filters changed on the car's gearboxes, but the Service Center replied with "not necessary - the car will tell you when the oil needs to be serviced" so I canceled my request. Since I tend to keep my vehicles a...

Not any longer, although I was fortunate enough to get it for my M3P that I took delivery of in August of 2018.

I went with this option last time and it eliminates having to deal with the screw holding the cover on, which in my opinion is the worst part of doing the filter change. The magnet seemed strong enough to hold the cover in place just fine.

Any chance your card expired?

I have had solar (28 panels), in WA (just north of Seattle), for about 7 years now. I pay an interconnect fee of about $17 a month, but that's all. I have net metering, so in the summer I generate far more electricity than I use (and rates are about $0.10 per kWh with no time of day rate...

I was just contacted by Ohmmu about receiving a new battery with the version 4+ BMS. I filled out their order sheet and I received confirmation this morning that the new battery has been shipped. I assume they'll be including a label to return my old battery after I receive the new one. This...

Tesla actually did offer free lifetime Supercharging for a short time on 2018 Model 3 performance models. I have one.

I always think about what it would be worth to me to avoid having a car that's stranded due to a failed battery. For me, it never seems to happen at a "good" time - always when I'm in a hurry and trying to make an appointment. I find a proactive replacement much more relaxing for my lifestyle.

They covered the total cost of the upper control arm replacements (left and right, on my Model 3P with 75,000 miles), under goodwill. When I scheduled the service I made reference to the "notorious upper control arm creak" and they never asked for anything from me. Maybe their policy has...

I have free Supercharging for Life on my 2018 Model 3 Performance, but it doesn't transfer to a new owner when I sell the car. It was offered to purchasers of the Performance version of the Model 3 over about a two week period, or something like that. I have a Supercharger close to home and in...

The speakers were cutting in and out about once per second, like clockwork. The front speakers were fine - just the rear and subwoofer.

I had the same issue a few years ago in my 2018 M3P. Sounded like the rear speakers were "clipping" (cutting in and out), and I drove to the Service Center in Bellevue, WA to talk to someone directly about it. They had a mechanic take a look at it in the parking lot and turned out it was a...

I notice when taking my car (2018 M3P) to a supercharger and the car is "preconditioning", I hear a whining noise from the front motor. It's faint but audible. I was told that was normal since as part of the preconditiioning, the car may engage the front motor to assist with heating the...

I noticed the same thing a while back and just turn them on manually when in fog. I find no automatic functions are perfect and use my judgement to bridge the gap. It's a little too easy to get complacent with all the automatic functions of the car, but I consider them just an assist and still...

I feel I need to weigh in again given that I'd previously indicated no issues with the Ohmmu battery installation on my 2018 Model 3P about two years ago. It had been completely trouble free. I was recently out of the country for a couple weeks and left my car plugged into the wall charger...

I would open a service. ticket summarizing the issue, and note the specific date and time that the events took place. They'll remotely log into your car and check the logs to see what the car was doing. I doubt it's related to the supercharging, (I use superchargers often), but I'd let the...

Really sorry to hear that so many have had issues with the Ohmmu battery. I've had mine installed for about three years now and never had an issue. The install was straightforward, and it's worked flawlessly since it was installed. I've never received an error code or anything (now that I've...

I know exactly how you feel. I have a GT500 convertible that hardly ever gets run anymore, with the M3P being so fast and fun to drive. It's like it has ruined the driving experience for every other car I have. I have people asking me all the time though - "don't you miss the rumble of the...

It's of course your call, but if Tesla service didn't complete something correctly, why not let them know and have "them" fix it. I'd probably just screw something else up if I tried to do it myself.

For some reason I was able order an adapter for my 2018 M3P in spite of the fact that my car is not yet capable of supporting the CCS charging. I received notification that the CCS adapter has shipped, so I should have it shortly. I plan to get the retrofit in early 2023 (or whenever it's...

I have over 82,000 miles on my 2018 M3P and have had no significant issues with the car in the four+ years I've owned it. I have continued to run 20" wheels and had no issues with wheel damage from potholes or anything else. I do have a separate set of winter tires on aftermarket 20" rims, and...

When I had my windshield replaced, I didn't have to do anything to initiate the recalibration of the cameras other than just drive it. It take a few miles to recalibrate I was told, and it appears to have worked. No issue with my Enhanced Autopilot functionality after just a few miles on the road.

I have the same issue as of about a week ago. I opened a service ticket via my phone and the tech from Tesla said this is a known issue and recommended the following "workaround" that I have not yet tried. The tech advised me to change the language to something other than English and then back...

I had mine replaced about four months ago, and it only took about two hours to do the work, and that was for both sides. I waited at the Service Center and drank their espressos and read a book while waiting. Not much of an issue.

Nol, the Tesla Body Shop did not state what was behind the panel but they gave me the impression that it was easy to "pull" dents out of it, so I got the impression that the risk was low.

Almost four years with over 75,000 miles on my Performance model 3. Charge port was replaced under warranty (wouldn't always open when it was supposed to), and creaking upper control arms on front suspension just replaced at no cost (goodwill by Tesla). Otherwise, the car has been trouble free...

I had the same issue with my driver's side upper control arm and it was getting really loud (a bit embarrassing in parking lots). I used some Liquid Wrench, sprayed into a small puncture I made in the rubber boot, and it silenced the creak almost immediately. I had to wait a couple weeks for...

I'm looking at my invoice, and no prices are listed. I asked about an alignment and they said they no longer perform an alignment when replacing the upper control arms since nothing involved in that work should affect the alignment. On the invoice under "Pay Type" is simply says "Goodwill -...

I just had my upper control arms replaced (both sides) at 73,500 miles and Tesla didn't ask me to pay for anything. When I scheduled the service, I noted that this was an issue that was well documented in the owner community, but was a bit surprised that they didn't ask for payment from me...

I believe Mountain Pass Performance offers an alternative. I've had the Ohmmu version 2 installed in my 2018 Model 3 Performance for about a year or so, and never had an issue. Not sure why some have issues and some don't, but it's been absolutely trouble free for me. I replaced my OEM...

The creaking in my dirver's side upper control arm was getting really loud, so after jacking the car up (tire was still mounted), I made a small hole in the boot and inserted the small plastic tube for my Liquid Wrench spray can into it and sprayed some into the boot. It silenced the creak...

Just had my 2018 P3D Upper Control Arms replaced with 73,500 miles on the odometer, and they did not charge me. I was a bit surprised and was ready to try to convince them to share the cost with me, but they never ever suggested that should pay for the work. Again, my experience with Tesla...

I agree that a solution that uses grease is preferred, but I didn't have a syringe and I figure the solution using Liquid Wrench would be temporary, but take care of the "creak" long enough to get in for the service appointment (that has now been slid out to May 6th due to part availability...

Don't know if it's the upper control arm "creak" or not, but if it is noticeable at low speeds when turning that' most likely what it is. Mine developed the same "creak" (which can be quite loud and embarrassing), and it's the driver's side upper control arm (a known issue). I was assured by...

I've had my Model 3 for almost four years now, and although my iPhone has worked the vast majority of the time, I've always carried a key card with me. I only needed it once when for some unknown reason, my phone couldn't unlock the car. It was a minor nuisance. I figure if my phone battery...

I purchased one of. the "Modern Spares" and keep it in the trunk when on long trips. It's nice because it comes in a bag with jack, lug wrench and tire/wheel. I figure as long as I have it, I won't need it. That's proven to be the case so far. Same reason I carry chains in the winter.

I am not sure why, but my 2018 Model 3 Performance hasn't had an issue with the Ohmmu battery since I put it in about a year ago. I'll probably jinx myself now, but I'm confused as to why my car seems fine with the Ohmmu battery and others have issues with it. I'm running software release...

I'm on 2021.44.30.10 and have been for a couple weeks or so.
