    Cybertruck AWD - Will TRI motor be safer than DUAL motor in winter?

    Hi there, I'm very interested to hear your thoughts on the difference between DUAL and TRI motor in snowy/icy winter conditions. I've read other posts in this great forum that covered the RWD, but I'm interested in whether DUAL AWD would be any less secure in slippery conditions than TRI AWD...

    [Mistake - Resolved] LR AWD price drops $1300--What would you do?

    I ordered a blue LR AWD w 18" aero wheels, have the VIN, have insurance, am paid in full, due to be delivered in 3 days, and now the configurator shows a $56,990 price. I paid $58,290. I haven't taken delivery yet. Should I ask for my money back, re-order, and wait another 6-8 weeks (if Tesla...

    Standard Range AWD Model 3

    Now that we have more information on the model Y. It seems as though (for the time being) they have removed the RWD version and could possibly be only making AWD to stay competitive to the market? As we all know they no longer offer the long range RWD model 3. Meaning that the only version of...

    Need an opinion: AWD or Full Self-Driving Capability

    Guys, I can't afford both in my Teals 3. I have been researching about the both functionalities but can't make a decision about which one is worth it more. I live in NJ and never drove AWD car before. I know i can get the Full Self-driving later on but I just don't want to spend the more money...

    Wh/mile specifically for M3 LR AWD with 19" wheels

    Model: Model3 LR AWD Mileage: 1000 Wheels: 19" Sport Average Wh/mile: 360 I've been driving my M3 for about a month. I know the 19" sport wheels have a 5-10% efficiency hit (crazy amount by the way) compared to the aero wheels, but I'm still getting a crazy high Wh/mile for standard drives. I'm...

    New Model 3 Making Noise

    Hi, just got my new AWD LR Model 3, I love it but am experiencing a noise when acccelerating in between 25 MPH and 45 MPH. I have attached a recording, it is a high pitched pulsing / whistle sound coming from the front. Is this normal? I know its subtle but I have three days left to return it...

    Freshly Superwrapped and Lowered

    I’ve had my Model 3 for about 10 months now and I purchased superwrap and the unplugged performance Low Springs to install several months ago... finally got to it today, what do you guys think? I used the superwrap bronze kit, and the unplugged performance off menu low springs for the AWD version.

    Another battery/ range question LR AWD Range 250!

    The reason I am posting this is because what I am seeing appears to be well outside the norms of battery degradation. Battery was charged to 80%. At about 31% (so 49% usage), I got 122.4 miles. Extrapolating this to 100% means (122.4/49% = 250 (rounded up). That is a significant drop. I had...

    P911DL Over $300,000 Invested

    I have a 2014 P85DL with Version 4 battery and AP 0.5. It is capable of a 0-60 at 2.5 seconds. No other Tesla can do this. More valuable than a P100DL. New Hampshire has no tax on used cars or new cars, so you save 8% by buying from me. Therefore, I am raising the price 10%. Asking...

    API and option codes -- how accurate?

    I tried the API by writing a script following the example at timdorr/tesla-api and got back the option codes for my Model 3. A lot of the codes have unknown values right now. But a couple that are known, according to that web site, are DV2W and DV4W, which mean Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive and Model...

    CT - State rebate CHEAPR

    As the Federal Tax Credit is tied to Federal Income Tax filing and tax liability I assumed CT's rebate/credit was similarly tied to the CT State Tax 1040. I'm guessing not now as there is a program CHEAPR that provides a $3,000 incentive for Tesla Model 3. However, in the fine print the Model 3...

    Canadian AWD delivered in 13 days!

Then came winter, and having owned a subaru AWD for 6 years, the golf’s ‘massive’ torque combined with the FWD just didn’t do it for me in...

    M3 is a rough ride. You too?

    My AWD with 18 inch wheels seems to rock and roll with every little bump or crack in the pavement. Even the tiny ones. Seems very tightly sprung. A pretty rough ride. Anyone else feel this problem?

    Help me decide: RWD or AWD? $8,000 difference!

    I priced out a RWD and AWD with similar options. RWD: $58,000 out the door incl taxes, fees. AWD: $66,000 out the door incl. taxes, fees. AWD costs roughly ~8,000 more. I drove the AWD on my test drive and thought it was ridiculously FAST - although I loved that, I'd be happy with even...

    AWD MSRP???

    Dual motor vs. RWD in winter driving.
