    Taptes Model 3 USB Hub

    No - but I did get a note from them in mid February stating that the Coronavirus had delayed their production. I thought it was believable.

    Battery Charging

    Wow - I'm not as fastidious as that. If we're going some distance on the weekend I simply change the charge level from my iPhone in the evening and it's fully charged by morning. Unplug and go. Are these batteries really that delicate?

    Did i go overboard ...

    I agree with the above. The wrap isn't for me. The key fob is a cute toy, but it's a relic of past cars. I have not yet used the keycard since I sync'd up my iPhone. It's just so nice to walk up to the car and open the door. The home charger adds massive value to an electric car. If you...

    Tow Behind a Motorhome

    I'll bet it can be done, however the car would have to be "on". Elon can make nearly anything happen, this is just such a low priority it will likely never get his attention. Towing 4-down is a preference. Some people like trailers, others don't.

    Tow Behind a Motorhome

    No - regen only when braking to assist in slowing down the vehicle.

    Driver seat adjustment

    I made a separate profile called Exit that I use when getting in or out that moves the seat all the way back and the wheel all the way in. Sometimes you don't want it to go automatically - when someone is in the back seat, or groceries are there, etc.

    Tow Behind a Motorhome

    It would be so cool to show up at a campground towing a Tesla Model Y behind my vintage GMC Palm Beach. Towing a car 4 wheels down, instead of on a dolly or trailer, is the most convenient way to tow. If the software could regenerate when braking and allow using the battery when at the...

    What UNEXPECTED Feature Do You Love/Hate After Delivery?

    Hate (?) -- Low profile tires that seem to find curbs where none existed! Totally my fault, but I'll blame the car. -- No wiper stalk. (Auto mode vastly improved with software update however) -- No CarPlay Love -- Absolutely everything else! -- And the Qi wireless charger for my iPhone.

    Door Pillar Camera Blocked

    We saw this message just yesterday. I thought the camera had been blocked by some rain or something but thinking about it now the driver's side was in line with the rising sun.

    Most requested features/options/improvements for the Model 3?

    CarPlay A windshield wiper stalk (although the latest update improved auto mode) Adjustable head rests 1,000 mile battery ;-) Non scraping wheels! (but still sexy low profile ones)

    Small problems. Longevity

    We had a little anxiety too when we bought the car. It was more money than we had spent on any car, however we did lease an electric car that sold us on the concept. To date we had one minor issue that Tesla fixed promptly. They also gave us a loaner S that was stupid fast!!! I am convinced...

    Who has solar power at their home? Please chime in....

    We not only have net metering, but also time-of-use pricing. As I understand it in Northern California with PG&E, our solar panels pump out electricity to the grid during the day when rates are relatively high. In the evening we use electricity from the grid that is more expensive still. The...

    Who has solar power at their home? Please chime in....

    I'd offer to charge my car at his house - just to help out!!

    "Tesla": The word that will get you a better Mercedes lease.

    This one made me chuckle. We bought our daughter a new Honda Civic in '16, and I thought it was one of the finest bargains available, considering all the safety features and how comfortable it is to drive. We picked up our dual motor long range Model 3 at the end of December 2018 but she...

    My Model 3 is so perfect....

    My wife and I LOVE this car. We picked it up on December 30th (tax rebates, you know...) and have just enjoyed the ride. We previously had a little electric Chevy Spark so we're smitten with the instant torque EV feeling. Just last week I had a little folly with a rumbling Dodge Challenger...

    Hands Free Phone microphone sound quality

    Yup - my buddy calls from the car all the time. When he's in his Volt it sounds good, the Tesla Model 3, not so good. It's not that the car is noisy, since it still sounds worse than the Volt when he's parked. I think the mics aren't as good as other hands-free carphone systems.

    Dash Cam Stopped Working

    That happened to me as well. I think I was using a cheap thumb drive (just one I had in a drawer). I bought a new SanDisk 128GB Ultra Fit USB for the car and it's working great. Less than $25 on Amazon. I formatted it and added the TeslaCam folder too.

    What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

    2016 Chevy Spark! We loved this car, mostly because it was leased on a fluke. A friend dropped his Volt off for service and we gave him a ride. The dealer said the best deal was a lease on Spark, so my friend convinced my wife that it was a no-brainer. The lease was less than we paid for...
