    New M3 LR and P, LFP or no??

    I absolutely cannot get a straight answer from Tesla. I was initally led to believe the LR was not available for a while because it was going to be updated to have the same batter technology the SR had, which you could charge to 100 percent and so on...now, they are saying they aren't sure but...

    1 controller, 2 ports. Is it possible?

    I'm a dirty cheater. Back in the day, do you recall the gamecube system? They had a controller called "wavebird" that was simply a wireless controller that you could select from 1 of 4 frequencies to connect with the controller. This way, 4 players could all play on their own frequency or...

    What is the "Streaming" app, exactly?

    I don't get what it is. It asks if I have an account and if I want to sign in. I'm interested in making an account but streaming is such a generic word I don't see a way to make one on google. Is streaming a Tesla specific app? Research online suggest it is based on your region and streaming...

    Can I report a phantom braking event?

    Does the car track while in autopilot using cruise control or something like that, when the brake is being used via the AI? I get plenty of phantom braking events and I was wondering if there's a way to report that with some footage to go alongside it. I'd really like to trust cruise control and...

    Floor Mats, what to do with old ones?

    Is there any demand for OEM floor mats? I replaced them. Should I just throw them away? What do people do with their old floor mats?

    Horned Mirror Skull [mirror caps] and Wind Noise

    Do you guys think this creates a lot of wind noise? I hope not but I didn't do a before and after.

    Family wants to delay model Y for Giga Texas but...

    My family wants to delay the Y until Giga Texas is up because they are allegedly going to build them with double pane rear and the 2 piece chassis there. However, I highly doubt this would be something you can select. How could you choose to get your car only if it's made in Texas? Probably not...

    MODEL Y Dimming Update

    So I have this option now to auto dim my mirrors but I have an older vin and thought my mirrors never had this functionality so do they? Or is this menu option pointless in my Y? I have blindspot mirrors in inner top corner so I wonder if I'm blocking a sensor but I don't notice any kind of...

    A New Idea for Glass Roof Tint

    If you're here, maybe you've already gotten familiar with the other conversations about this topic. I'll spare you those and what they covered and assume you're mostly up to speed and hopefully you'll give me the same credit as well. My idea is to have tint installed OUTSIDE of the glass...

    Is regen same across all models?

    Does regen have anything to do with the motors? Or are they separate? Wondering if rear wheel drive only had rear wheel regen as well.

    Ever feel during test drives some have weaker regen?

    I am very familiar with the regen stop settings and temp or batter fullness affecting regen so aside all of these things, I feel like some models just have stronger regen than others that should be identical otherwise. Is this am inconsistency? My family model Y regen seems to be a lot stronger...

    Mirror Dimming (side view)

    Where is the sensor? I have blindspot mirrors on my mirrors and don't know if I'm blocking the sensors. Mirror didn't seem to dim despite new update saying they should.

    Model 3 or 2?

    Might wait for the 2 but you know, I'd never get the first round of the newest stuff here. Unsurprisingly the new S is abundant with the classic paint or alignment issues. Don't want to wait for the 2 only for delays and then disappointing first several months of production. So even if it comes...

    Matte PPF Film Maintainence and Suggestions

    Looking into Matte or Satin PPF. I hear mostly Stealth by XPEL being suggested. I would love to hear about other brands and why they are better, if they are. Also, I really want some consistent answers as to if Satin/Matte PPF is actually much higher maintaince or not. I know Matte/Satin...

    Torn on which one to get

    Obviously it's a game of price to is it worth it. I think the long range is a nice balance but when you look at the monthly payment, going for performance is just another 100 a month. However, first thing I'd want to do is get rid of the wheels and go down to 18's for ride comfort and what not...

    Would you buy aftermarket hubcaps?

    Any interest in after market hubcaps? I would love them. Change the wheel look without changing the wheel and for less money while still hopefully retaining the efficiency.

    Why isn't it a hatchback?

    Why is it a sedan? The model S is a hatchback and the overall aesthetic is the same but the S has more utility in that sense. Also, it has a better drag coefficient now than the 3 so I literally just don't understand why it isn't a hatchback. Doesn't need to have that design that creates a low...

    Best Paint Color for Maintaining

    I want the one that looks most clean and least swirls. White is very swirl disguising but shows dirt and bugs like a white canvas, because that's what it is. Black shows swirls and waterspots like no other. Very high maintenance. Even rain will spot the car temporarily. So how about blue or...

    Why was Silver discontinued?

    I think it's one of the best colors. Hides dust and other things well. Technically I think it does all that better than most colors. White shows dirt easily and the rest show scratches very easily and black even more so. Silver was nice and one of the lowest maintenance colors and I just don't...

    Autopilot and Crashing questions

    When autopilot avoids an accident, does it just take over? Will the wheel not be in my control? Or will it be something I wrestle with or just basically trust and let happen? I'd like to have some idea before learning the hard way what it is like when this kinda thing happens. Also, has anyone...

    Caulking for wind noise?

    Anyone done it? I would use something removable and non harmful obviously but the RPM windnoise kit comes off during automated car washes. Before judging for automated car washes, please understand I'm working closely with a place that is modifying the settings for my car specifically but I'm...

    New Stock Aero Wheel?

    Did it get a refresh? The wheel cap looks a bit different than it used to, at least on the website but I can't see anything about that anywhere.

    USB album art not showing

    I have the latest 10.2 on my Y and USB artwork used to display just fine before the software update and now just never shows up with the music. Kind of annoying. Any ideas? All my files are tagged with the artwork, hence why it worked at all before. Literally nothing changed but this software...

    Fan noise oddities

    So sometimes the car is in the garage and the climate control is off but it sounds like those fans are on and I'll turn climate control on and off and then the fan noise stops and doesn't come back on. What's up with that? Happens kinda often, right after parking my car. Are there different...

    Side View Camera

    How do you get these to activate for me to see when driving? It's not exclusive to fsd is it? It was set to do so on a test vehicle but mine isn't showing such a feature.

    NEMA VS WALL CHARGER

    Why does a nema outlet directly into a model y not charge as fast as a wall unit plugged into a nema outlet? Or is my understanding incorrect?

    Wheel Caps 3rd party available?

    You can buy wheel/hub caps for many cars on their oem wheels. Are there 3rd party hubcaps that fit on the model 3 18 inch wheels? If not, what about a wheel that is compatible with most hub caps that fits on the model 3? Just curious if you're totally limited to the aerocaps or wheels like...

    Anyone sell their 3 before or buy one used?

    Trying to get an idea of how it has sold on private market. Might buy a model 3 just for half a year or so but it seems risky with the y coming out but I feel like if I play things right, I could break close to even if I sell on the used market since the 3 holds value so well. Some 3's on the...

    Front windshield size?

    Anyone know if it is more like the x or like the 3 in terms of how much vertical visibility you have? Would love a little more view out the front from the drivers seat of the Y vs the 3. I'm sure there is a little more just because the car is taller but is it also designed to go further back...

    Would anyone want Performance 20" Wheels?

    I am considering getting the model 3 with performance upgrades since it is the same price right now without the upgrades. A very stressful decision but just curious if anyone here is actually hoping to get the new M3 performance wheels. I get mixed answers as to if the wheels can fit on the...

    Quiet 18" tires suggestions?

    What are some tires I can get that are at least as quiet as the stock 18's? I want to know for when the time comes. Something all season. Really want as little road noise from the tires going in to the car as possible. Elaborate on your perspective or experience as much as you like.

    Changes to performance ordering process on website?

    I see the performance upgrade is a checkbox now. Looks like you can order a stealth model 3 but it only comes with the motors and is still she same cost of the performance with the upgrades except you don't get the upgrades. Not even the spoiler. Seems kinda messed up. I feel like the...

    Extra Aero Caps?

    I was hoping maybe someone has an extra wheel cap they could spare. I'd like to study it and see if it is something that an aftermarket thing could be created from. I have this idea: how cool would it be to have all these options to change the look of the wheel just from the wheel cap? Would...

    What kind of changes or improvements do you hope...

    What kind of changes or improvements do you hope come to the model 3 in the near future? I'll list 3 of mine. 1. Chrome deleted trim. Model Y seems to come this way by default so I somewhat expect that they will actually change this sometime in the near future. Hopefully in 2020. 2. Better...

    If you buy a M3P how easy is it to sell the 20” wheels

    Is it easy to do? Do people want them? Buddy of mine is thinking of buying a performance and selling the 20 inch wheels to buy 18's from t sportline (which do fit) Wondering if there's much demand or reason someone would get these. Why not just buy a third party 20" wheel? I just wonder if...

    New Tires, what to get?

    Most important to me is tread life and a quiet ride. I guess my best bet is to go with an acoustically treated tire, all season. All season is the best option for my conditions anyway. Any suggestions? Tips? For anyone about to mention how highway wind noise invalidates a quiet tire, I have...
