    Enhanced Autopilot is BACK!!

    That's unreasonable. It's like punishing those who buy EAP for not buying FSD outright.

    Enhanced Autopilot is BACK!!

    So you would have to pay $5k after having already paid $4k for EAP? That's rather scammy.

    Just Ordered - What do you wish you'd known?

    Just adding to other suggestions and making a few comments... If you live a place like with weather like Southern California, I'd suggest that you can skip out on the more expensive super high quality floor mats like 3DMaxpider and go for some 1/3 to 1/2 of the price. I went with these...

    Custom USB splitter solution for M3

    Worked! Thanks for checking. Not sure what the issue was earlier. Both sides of my wireless pad (Taptes) are working. I'm not sure what the charging speed is. Do you think a direct wire would be faster?

    Thrilled new M3 Owner!

    Update! So, I've installed two of these lights. Unfortunately, I tried to install the first one without taking it apart first. It did NOT work out. It became lodged in the hole and was very difficult to get out. Once I finally got it out, I decided to take it apart. When taking it apart, the...

    Custom USB splitter solution for M3

    Thanks for this. That's whay I thought... that it doesn't have internal memory. I'll try it again today and let you know if it still doesn't work for me. Cheers!

    Got it. I'll try it again. Not sure why it did not record yesterday. Thanks for letting me know.

    Custom USB splitter solution for M3

    Paid full price myself... didn't see this in time. So, do I need to format this splitter? My USC was recording without it yesterday. But, with the splitter, it isn't recording anymore. Help is much appreciated.

    A Dremel with a sander attachment, ay?

    Thrilled new M3 Owner!

    Ye that peace of mind may be worth it. Since I ony got the SR+ though, I'm not keen to take any efficiency hits...lol. Kinda wish I opted for the LR now, but the price difference really is significant. Do let me know how it goes if u et bigger tires.

    Nice. Looks like a power sander is in order for this fix.

    Thrilled new M3 Owner!

    Got it. Ye... I saw these images and instructions on the Amazon page. I ended up buying one pair just to see how it goes. I'm guessing it's not difficult to take the thing apart and put it back together. Def don't want to break it while inserting it or while trying to pull it apart!

    Thrilled new M3 Owner!

    Oh definitely regarding the wheels without the Aero caps. Look much better without. I'll eventually take them off and get the center cap. Did you go with something like this: Model 3 Carbon Fiber Wheel Hub ( Set of 4 - $299) Or, did you just do this: Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit I'm also...

    Thrilled new M3 Owner!

    Super helpful to read. I've been looking at the abstract ocean products... just put the 5H matte protector in my cart... little cheaper than the glass one. Trying to find some reasonable cost-cutting opportunities. Good idea on the SSD. Might go for that one. Seems like a thumb drive would need...

    Nice! Looks like a good protector. Thx for the recommendation. No kids. But, a frunk mat would be nice.

    Thrilled new M3 Owner!

    Which screen protector did you go with? I've been advised to definitely go for high quality on this one. I'm in Los Angeles, so weather will never be a problem for me in terms of snow. I don't go skiing or anything like that. But, I do want to get good mats for normal dirt/rain/mud. Happy to...

    Thrilled new M3 Owner!

    Thanks. How was your installation process? The reviews are not so good, and it all seems to be focused n the installation process and how it doesn't fit properly, plus removal is difficult and ends up with pieces lodged.

    Thx! I was considering all of those items. Just need to hunt for the best price/quality. I also want paint protection film for the front end and a center console wrap (maybe carbon fiber). Ive seen several owners do the chrome delete. I like chrome though, especially on the door handles. When...

    After several years of waiting, I took delivery of my brand new Tesla today... a 2020 SR+ M3... around 5pm here in LA. Loving it already! Much smoother ride than I expected. My test drive weeks ago wasn’t sufficient for me to get a great feel for the ride. I’ve always had BMW 5-Series. I...

    Custom USB splitter solution for M3

    Got it! That's the basic set up I think I'll need. Do both phones charge fast using just one Novak?
  33. C

    Custom USB splitter solution for M3

    Gotcha. Good to know. Thanks. So, if I get only one Novak, then only one phone can charge fast while the other will charge more slowly. That'll probably be sufficient for my purposes. It's rare that both my phone and my passenger's phone needs rapid charging. Let's see if I can get some more...

    Awesome. Regarding the Nomad, what about it justifies its price over the TapTes or Jeda? Why'd you choose Nomad?

    Custom USB splitter solution for M3

    Thank you. Very helpful! I will often have a passenger, so I need two charging ports. What do you think about the Nomad wireless pad? I may just get two Novak splitters. Seems I would need two of those in order to have two fast charging ports.

    I am picking up my first Tesla tomorrow. I'm very much looking forward to it and want to quickly get it all set up. So, I'm seeking recommendations on wireless pads, dashcams, etc. I've read this entire thread and am not sure which direction I should go in for the items. I definitely want to...

    Buying a used Tesla 3 advice...

    I'm sure! I'm not 100% sold on it over my 2017, but I'll take delivery tomorrow nonetheless and give it a fair shake. The super early VIN 2017 sounds like a good collector's car! But, I am worried about the manufacture on that one. If I'm loving the 2020, I may not go look at my 2017. I'll...

    Buying a used Tesla 3 advice...

    haha! That's not a bad deal at all! Do you happen to know where that low VIN 2017 is located? I'm not keen to drive cross-country, so I hope it is in LA or maybe u in Fremont. The 2018 sounds great, but that cross-country drive is not feasible. I pick up my 2020 SR+ tomorrow!! I may just...

    For Sale 2018 M3 long Range RWD

    Your 2018 looks great! I just put a deposit down (through Tesla) for a 2017 M3 LR RWD with 19-inch wheel and FSD for $43,300. Although it is an early VIN, I feel it is a good deal if it is in good shape generally. I find your offer very attractive, especially since it has 10k lower miles and...

    Buying a used Tesla 3 advice...

    Thanks for sharing! You say any year but 2017. Why? The only used LR M3 I found with FSD was the 2017 at $43,300. I've been keeping my eye on the inventory each day, but nothing has been coming up. Although I've made a deposit on a brand new SR+ and he 201 LR RWD + FSD and premium wheel, I'm...

    Buying a used Tesla 3 advice...

    Very interesting experience with HW#. I understand the concerns you expressed...I could see how that would cause pause. I'm sure Tesla will continuously improve upon these things and more... which makes me worry about increasing price of FSD! I appreciate the conservative estimate on the...

    Buying a used Tesla 3 advice...

    I think the FSD would hold a bit more value for me because of family with a disability. Thus, the summon feature and NOA could come in handy in more situations than a totally able-bodied person/family. The range limitation on the SR+ bother me, but it doesn't become a huge issue in my mind until...

    Buying a used Tesla 3 advice...

    True... I think I'll enjoy the experience. I also am starting to agree on the FSD... seems a long way away from having any real value over AP. I just hope the price doesn't keep going up. Would suck to miss out on it already added to the 2017... it's like getting it at a discount... only to have...

    Buying a used Tesla 3 advice...

    Very helpful. So, even though the 2017 is LR and has FSD built-in at $43,400, the 2020 AWD at $49,990 makes more sense if you can stretch the budget. For me, I really want to stay as close to $40,000 as possible, which I originally put the deposit down for the SR+ will no FSD. So, I'm really...

    Buying a used Tesla 3 advice...

    Fair point regarding the "no interest loan". Good point as well on the benefit of dual motor. My only issue is that the second motor stretches my budget further than I would like. I am not finding a new/demo.showeroom/used AWD M3 for under 45k. I'd have to count on roadside assistance if I have...

    What is the importance of mileage when it comes to a Tesla really? Is 33k miles really a lot for a Tesla? I need to check if Tesla offers an extended warranty for Model 3s. It seems that it does not when I read the website. YOu only get the remainder of the original warranties if you buy a used...
