My 2019 stealth Performance, 6/19 build, 26k miles, just lost heat 2 days ago and threw 2 codes. No other issues atm but I made an appointment for the service center. Wow, that's great that they got you in and out so quickly. I bet my PTC died t00.

Really?? I can't believe the update solved the issue. I just got the 2 exact same codes as you have and my heater stopped working 2 days ago on my 2019 M3P, 26k miles. I did a hard reboot (disconnected battery terminal, unplugged under-seat connector) and the codes were cleared. Then I...

Yes, whoops, >360-mile range indeed. While I'm sure I'd love HW4 and a refreshed look, I'd consider moving from a '19 M3P (21k miles) to a '24 M3P a pretty lateral move not worthy of my dollars if the 0-60 and 1320 performance is no better than current-gen. I'll hold off for 0-60 in 2.9s and...

Until 0-60 in <2.9s and <360-mile range, count me as a no. But hit those goals and I'll upgrade the ol' M3P. There is no upgrade without an upgrade in performance.

What a weird situation. At first glance I didn't think you were at fault but I watched it twice and I agree with insurance that you are at fault. So... you are sitting there parked, and have 30 seconds or so that you can safely take off, but you don't. Right when it becomes unsafe for you to...

This is driving me nuts. TuneIn has been my somewhat lousy solution to listening to podcasts in the car the last 2 years, and it just gets worse and worse. I used to have 1-2 podcasts that would eventually load most the time, not it just barely works at all. Just spinning, loading, etc...

Thanks @Knightshade , good stealth explanation and nice recap of the history! I think the stealth moniker came about from the fact that it's just a factory sleeper and a "wolf in sheep's clothing", and due to the fact that they are the most rare 3 variant ever produced. (I've completely...

I haven't read the whole thread and I'm sure somebody has mentioned this before - get the stealth. Best of both worlds and that's exactly why they made it. As quick as performance, full track mode etc, but with all the practicality, range, comfort, and all-season-ability of the LR. They are...

I had the same issue on my 2019. M3P-. I snapped a pic, put in a service request through app, dropped it off at Tesla a few mornings later and picked it up at noon the same day. Warranty replacement, zero hassle, couldn't be easier. I had tint on the window that cracked, but never really...

That's pretty much what I'd expect. Rears will wear out first since the car delivers more torque and bias to the rear, and the reason the right rear tire is worn more than the left rear tire is because right turns are usually much tighter and it's also more likely a person will go WOT coming...

I read this whole thread with curiosity trying to figure out why people are adding NVH and cheapness to their Tesla's to make them look like an 80's Honda. Your response is the first one that hit the nail on the head.

Chrome delete is "cold air intake" mod of the Tesla world. Accomplishes nothing, cheapens the car, but it does make it different and people want that. Putting stickers on a car has never been cool, IMO.

As a couple others of stated, I'd hunt relentlessly for the only model that has actually had an *increase* in MSRP the last year or two and is the most rare model as well.... and the model that offers zero compromises (best performance, best range, best practicality). Patience will pay off...

My '19 Model 3 downloaded the new update overnight, and I DON'T want to install it. The car has presented me with 2 options, either "install now" or "schedule update". With the "schedule update" option, it is only a 24-hr clock and I can't select a future date. So, for now, I scheduled it out...

THIS, yes! LionXng knows dynos.... I do too. Peak power isn't near as important as "power under the curve", and doubly so for early power under the curve. Car A can make more power 90% of the powerband but if power B has a crazy peak near redline where it makes 1hp, it is not the faster car...
