I'm looking at upgrading my Model 3 (early VIN) from Gen1 front seats to Gen2. I've found the Gen2 seats to be much more comfortable and I have chronic low back issues that get aggravated very easily with my Gen1 seats. I've attached a picture to show the difference - the Gen2 seats have more...

I'm looking for a TM3 roof rack as they are not available over here yet. Will pay for shipping (Norway), can transfer by PayPal or similar

I'm getting a home delivery this Friday of a Performance 3. I live ~ 4 miles from the Fremont factory. I'm curious to learn how many miles should likely be on the new vehicle when it arrives.

This morning I got into my Model 3 and found that I had a new pop-up message from Tesla on my screen (pic attached). I get that Tesla designed these cars to utilize WiFi and I get that 3G/4G for as many cars as they have in their fleet gets expensive quickly (hence the no-so-long-ago removed...

Hi I'm a longterm tesla fan. I'll be visiting the US west coast this summer and I want to go on a one month and 3500mile road trip. Since I'm 21 and can't afford a Tesla over here in Switzerland I was really looking forward to renting one for my road trip to have that longterm EV experience...

I did some upgrades in my Model 3 Ambient Lights. They are controlled from the Main Screen. Ambient light Upgrade M3 What do you think?

I live in a very rainy area called SoCal... So.. I was driving the other day and it was raining (it rains a lot in LA).. of course the “auto” winshield wipers were not working (which I think we can all agree on is the worst feature of the car but that’s another subject) and I tried to turn them...

Has anyone done their white model 3 with Suntek Ultra matte clear bra? I have seen several with the regular clear, but none with the matte finish. Would love some pictures! Looking to have mine done this month. I’ll post when complete.

The $800 Clean Fuel Rebate I cashed the other day for my Model 3 was returned for reason "Refer to Maker". I guess I'm not surprised as they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection however my bank is charging me $12 for the returned check. I wish PG&E would have informed me they wouldn't be...

I just noticed some flapping sound when driving my MR3. I checked the tires and noted that the rear tire has a nail in it. I checked the tire pressure on the screen and it seems to not be leaking any air. Is this repairable, considering the location of the nail? Or, replacement needed?

I've owned the MR3 for about a month. I just noticed that the front passenger leather seat has some wrinkles in it. It doesn't get much use, especially considering the driver's seat has no such wrinkles. Is this expected? Or, yet another service appointment?

It does not look good. Should I take it to SC? just picked up the car over a month.

(I'm creating this thread per the recommendation of @Akikiki) I really want to use apps like the My Tesla Alexa Skill and Wear for Tesla. Unfortunately, both fail most of the time due to communication errors reaching the car. The only way I can get apps like these to work is by connecting to...

New Model 3 owner! Have had the car for about a week and a half. I'm on the fence about buying the wall charger. Right now, I'm getting 15 miles/hour of charge with a 6-20 plug (which I just happened to have in the garage) on a 20 amp circuit. My daily commute is 90 miles, and my company...

Hi folks, I thought I might share a little trip and range report. We live over in East Texas (Longview, TX area) and took a great trip up to Colorado Springs. I did some research ahead of time to make sure I’d be in a good comfort zone with the ranges on the various legs - and thought this...

Having owned one or another Honda all my life, I am not sure I know how to care for my new Tesla and could really use your help. Buying an expensive car is a big hurdle (but the math checks out when u squint at it) and I don't want to ruin it (as I invariably do with auto carwashs or ungaraged...

Hi All, I’ve read through a lot of the previous discussions on the whole “front license plate solution”..just wanted to hear it out on these two top runners IMO: The Bandit (v2.0) https://www.1975creations.com/product-page/tesla-model-3-front-license-plate-bracket Slipstream ThatGrin.com |...

I have an interesting puzzle to solve. Please let me know if you encountered something similar or if you have an idea about what's going on. I have a Tesla Model 3. Here is what doesn't work, the main issue: + When I try to charge my model 3 with my home charger, a J1772 plug with a tesla...

I'm looking for a set of 19" Sports wheels (Rims, Tires and TPMS). Prefer the mileage on the wheels to be low and still have good amounts of thread left. Will pick up the wheels within the Bay Area. PM your price and condition of the wheels! Thanks.

Just got this pushed through LTE (thanks to a crappy wifi at home). What's the major changes? Coming from 39.x Haven't had time to hop in as it is work time :). Please let me know thank you!

Early this afternoon, as I was moving my car from a charging station to my regular spot in my parking garage, I heard a car alarm going off. I rounded a corner to see a guy hustling toward me with 2 duffle bags in hand and one over his shoulder. Behind him was a Ford Raptor that was the source...

HI All, Updated my model 3 with v9 and started using the dashcam. I was able to see it records mp4 format into TeslaCam directory, and when you hit the camera on the screen, it download to .rec on the root directory. I tried opening the .rec with VLC and it won't play correctly. Tried couple...

Hi everyone, Was snooping around the car (M3 VIN 29000's) at 1AM and connecting it to the new Wifi Router and I noticed a squeaking static in a pattern (car was plugged in) that repeated itself over the right side speaker. Like a ringing from electronics - the fridge except with static white...

Hey everyone. Does anyone else's Model 3 have a faint rattling noise coming from the seatbelt tensioners and the rear seats when driving on slightly bumpier than usual road or gravel? I've tried to isolate it by making sure all the seats are secured and latched, and buckling all the seatbelts in...

It appears that at one point Tesla had a policy that if you leased a Tesla and for some reason you didn't like it within a period of time you could return it. I believe it was called the "Tesla Happiness Guarantee". See: Significantly Improved Leasing for a Tesla with US Bank And recently...

So I've had the Model 3 since the middle of July and haven't had any issues besides some crazy battery draining. Anyway, this past Sunday (September 23) I got in the car with my keycard (my phone doesnt have the best service at my apartment) and once I got in NOTHING was turning on. The app...

I tried searching on the forum and Google but came up empty. Maybe it doesn't make sense to do, but have you or came across someone that installed PPF on the roof and rear glass on the Model 3?

Hey Guys I’m new to the forum. Had my M3 since April and I love it so I decided to get it wrapped in black satin with chrome delete. I’m a huge Batman fan so this will be my batmobile haha. One questions I have is when you want to trade it in to Tesla somewhere down the road, will Tesla make you...

My car (Model 3 Performance+) was delivered today. I've signed many documents, and drove my car to home with excitement. My appointment was 4:45pm, but I could finish around 8:30pm. After I came home, I realized that I didn't receive any copies of the documents that I signed. Is it normal? Or...

First day line waiter. Current S Owner. Changed order from AWD to P on Monday........ VIN : 0629XX MSM/P-non-upgrade/18s/black interior/EAP Delivery: August 10th!!

I am a reasonably early VIN 11XXX but have not yet updated from version 2018.21.9. Anyone know when an update might be expected?

I feel like this has been discussed before, but I'm struggling to find the thread, so please forgive me if it has. Now that all reservationists have been invited to order in the U.S. and Canada, does anyone have insight into how they prioritize the orders once we actually configure? My...

It appears the autopilot update (at least some changes in autopilot rendering) has started to roll out to the model 3. Post pictures of notes as well as experiences below with this firmware update.

Normally, dealers will try to upsell you on rust protection and other add-ons, but there's no dealer to upsell. I'll be getting Xpel PPF and CeramicPro, but do I need to think about rust protection too, especially in all the winter salt conditions?

Hi, Want to check if anybody else has same issue: - I charged my M3 at supercharger and my car showed total amount of supercharging, $11.44 but on my Credit card the amount was $11.96. This happened earlier also. When I contacted Tesla, they said the amount charged is correct and car is...

I am a Commercial Property Manager in South Florida in addition to owning a MX. I am looking to install some pay per charge stations at a few of the properties and would like to get some input. Yes, we all prefer to either use a supercharging station and/or charge at home. When not...

I am currently in line for the first production Model 3 which - if they meet the current production timeline - it will work perfectly with my current lease (ending in September). However, I spoke with someone in the Natick, MA store who recommended I wait for the AWD though he's never driven...

Here is a first road test of our Model 3 in a rough road conditions on wild Russian roads. Model 3 vs Model S, ~400 km to go, no chargers around - will they make it? ps: This video is from our's main english youtube channel. I don't know if it's ok to post here every test we do. But I...

If so, please PM or reply. I reserved online June 24th, 2016 and have an estimate of Jul-Sep for FP. For some reasons, I want/need the car sooner. If in any cicrusumtance you have a spare invite that is sooner than Jul-Sep please let me know. We can then discuss more details. Thanks a lot!

The first Tesla Model 3 in Russia. Here is the story I've promised - how and why we brought it to Russia so early. Interviews and reactions of random people on the streets. Do people in Russia know about EVs? You've probably seen a "Tesla Model 3 vs. Chevrolet Bolt Drag Race" with our Model...

Hi all, Like others in Ontario, I'm hoping to co-ordinate my Model 3 purchase to take maximum advantage of all four Ontario EV incentives (i.e. rebate for vehicle, rebate for charger and installation, no PST/GST and free home charging for four years. The window for this may be narrow as some...

On the standard Model S AWD, the rear motor had less power than the RWD version. Will the Model 3 likewise have a different motor between AWD and RWD? If the motor is the same between both, seems like the AWD should have a materially faster 0-60. Will the P version have a stronger rear motor?

So today was a big news day for the Model 3 in Canada. And by that I mean various people noticed changes in wording across various websites. So lets start. The Model 3 SR will start at $45,600 CAD - Source: Model 3 & Model 3 Reservations FAQ "Designed to attain the highest safety ratings in...

This car would be popular in Northern Europe… a Model 3 as a wagon. Just made this computer rendering with the rear form an Audi a4 on the Model 3.

Hi everyone! Just figured this would be a good place to share my watercolor of the Model 3. Love this car and look forward to what it will bring to Tesla. If this is something you'd like of your Tesla I'd be happy to help!

Just wondering if that would work - probably won't be able to transfer, but I could buy it then sell it. My primary concern would be the tax implications - he lives in another state.

Anxious for the final reveal of the Model 3 and am curious what your guys thoughts are on the dollar amount for the TCO is going to be for the Model 3. Obviously a 35k ICE cars TCO will be a lot more where as a 35k Electric car will be cheaper. Any thoughts on this?
