    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I have yet to drive the new M3P or a Model S. I did have a '22 X loaner and I didn't experience any of that. Was that a pre-refresh model?

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Even with the refresh the "dated" MS is a much better looking car IMO. I also wouldn't consider a 2.5 year old car, "old". Someone made an interesting point, about if I have a Y, I should get the S. That does concern me that they are too alike, not sure if anyone agrees with that...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    50K for a new M3P, 50k for a '21.5 MS w/ Arachnid wheels 33k miles, or 34k for a '22 M3P no options 21k miles. Don't really need the versatility of the S but definitely prefer the looks to either M3P. Not sold on the new M3P front headlights, hoping they'll grow on me. Which would you do...

    2019 Model S Raven vs 2024 M3P?

    I hope we get more insight on this thread. I've actually been mulling over something similar, get a '21.5 model S with 30k miles and Arachnid wheels for 50k or '22 M3P no options 21k miles for 34k. I don't know that I need the practicality of the S since we have a Y, but hands down it's the...

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    Just too dull and too small. I actually liked the old lights, kind of Porsche-esque in my eyes. That being said, neither M3 is a looker IMO. I like the Y and the S. The X....not horrid but the worst of the bunch.

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I do not like the new headlights on the M3 at all so I may wait until Fall and hope to get a good deal on a used M3P to replace my wifes 10 year old Mustang convertible. Figure there will be more on the market due to the refresh.

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I also had good luck. I traded in a '18 Volt, Tesla gave me the 2nd best quote (got 4) and it ended up being just about tied for the best considering I saved 20k in taxes. A friend of mine traded in a '13 Prius and said they actually gave him 2k more than the next best offer he got.

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    Yeah I had a Mustang that I put summers on for the warmer months and winters on for the colder ones. I found that once you got around freezing it could be an adventure taking a turn. If I were to buy this car, I'd probably get some all seasons that are performance based and sell the summers.

    I was in 97% in upstate NY I believe, so mine was pretty much 0 for a bit there:

    What Would Compel You To Upgrade to a Future Model X?

    I had a 22 X LR loaner and I didn't mind the yoke, the buttons for blinkers, or the amount of time the doors took to open. I did however hate using the touchscreen for drive and reverse, seemed hard to do quickly which sometimes you need. Curious do you own an X or just going off of what...

    What Would Compel You To Upgrade to a Future Model X?

    Are the falcon wing doors that annoying to live with? Wifes car is 10 years old and I've been keeping an eye out on 2020ish Model X Performance, prices keep dropping, down to about 45k now with low miles (50k or less).

    Power Reduced - Pull over immediately alert making car undriveable

    Just an update in case anyone read this and was curious, turned out for my car it was a wiring harness that was exposed. Probably built that way and it finally corroded and broke apart. The other person that had the same issue actually needed a battery replacement. Got my car back last...

    Power Reduced - Pull over immediately alert making car undriveable

    So I wanted to ask if anyone has also had this issue since I just got back from the Service Center my car was towed to today and the other car being towed there at the same time as me also had the exact same issue. I'll tell my story below, sorry it's so long hah! I was on a family road trip...

    Auto Wipers

    Inflated price? At the current prices? I disagree completely. What ICE can you get for the price of Y that does what a Y does? Heck a Mustang GT costs the same as a Y and the only thing that does better is look nicer. Otherwise in a Y you are getting a mid sized crossover that performs as...

    DIY front window tint, the case for doing it yourself!

    You are brave. I've seen so many bubbled up or purple do it yourself jobs this is something I would never consider doing. I paid the tint shop $150 to match the fronts with the back on the Y, a little darker than I would have gone with if I was doing the entire car, but it looks nice.
