    Elon and Ukraine

    I think I might be a bit angry with Elon after this. Musk drew widespread criticism from Ukrainians over his peace plan in which he proposed that Ukraine permanently cede the Crimea region to Russia, that new referendums be held under U.N. auspices to determine the fate of Russian-controlled...

    well, if they can break it, they can fix it. Really quite frustrating.

    Ok, I tried Tidal, and…(and “premium” audio too)

    what I've noticed about the Tesla sound system is that it's very transparent, I have the free tidal trial service and I paid for the mid-tier service upgrade. what I wish it would do is when I ask to play an album it would remember that I have it in my favorites and play that specific album not...

    Trail Ridge Road RMNP Colorado. Somewhere around 11,000 feet above sea level. No power loss :) Fun to watch the Regen add to the battery on the way down!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    so after placing our order in the beginning of March, and only getting one out of the three price increases so far, Stardust is here. I've watched a lot of Monroe Live videos on their teardown's of Teslas and I must say our car was pretty much perfect. I must admit it was nice to have a place...

    2022 Apple CarPlay update vs Tesla UI

    same here, just good music (Tesla just let me use my Apple Music account) and I'm happy. Though I can see myself at a Supercharger loosing track of time watching Rick and Morty and letting myself charge into the 90's :)

    2022 Apple CarPlay update vs Tesla UI

    When I went on test drives with the model 3, and drove my friends, I noticed I was always looking for the instrument cluster, which always caused my eye's to drop from viewing the road, which was actually a considerable amount over the length of my drive. Yes, with all of the tech/safety...

    Colorado waiting room

    Good luck! when the vin does show up, I almost missed it because was so used to not seeing it. I actually stared at it for a bit, almost like waiting for it to disappear

    Colorado waiting room

    Didn't know we had a Colorado waiting room. Seems to be for mY but, just got my vin for the m3 and was wondering if anyone used a finance company that took the 2500.00 up front. Thanks!

    New "Mandatory" Colorado EV Plates are coming

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Our Tesla Service Rep, went thru our model 3 LR (blue, white interior 18") By checking the computer they seemed to think we might get a vin# in the beginning of June, and maybe delivery by the end of June. We ordered after the 1000.00 increase but before the really big increases. I feel like we...

    Tesla Contacts

    Seems to me Tesla should have a way of plugging in the home charger if you brought it into the store/service center and test it out. It should fail no matter where it's getting its power, but given the rest of your story.. :-(

    Model 3 concerns

    I think the model Y is the subject right now of most of Tesla's improvements. Pretty much SUV's are the most popular car segment, so they have to get those pretty much perfect when they leave the factory, hence the giga castings. To me once they make some time for the model 3 and those rear and...

    Vendor Redwood Motorsports - Official factory 'Road & Track' Ohlins kit release, pre-order, specs, RWMS Ohlins accessories, and discussion!

    All I know is that I drove the Polestar 2 with and without the Olins shocks and boy was it a different (much better to me) car with them. All I know is that I'm not even touching the Tesla until I'm out of warrantee.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Every car that I've seen at the dealer so far has the Ryzen chip. I visit a lot now :) waiting and waiting... Heck if I see a vin# I will probably have a heart attack!

    Parts Question

    Just came back from an other post on "how to purchase replacement "small parts" for Model 3. Tesla motor's service/parts department motto should be: designed by introverts for introverts. Well at least that's my very first experience. Onwards and upwards I hope :-) In some ways it's a very...

    Parts Question

    Hi All, Just went to the Tesla service center near me, and I went in looking to see if I could get the Model 3 Performance Pedals. The service/parts? guy was like, did you see it on the web site, and I said no. I was like well there should be a part number correct..and he said yes. And that's...

    Thoughts after test driving Ioniq 5 from a Model 3 LR owner...

    not so much a segment but just the things that we wanted to try. The Ionic 5 is a way bigger "car" but never felt big the way the ID4 or Mach-E did. Didn't get to try the Mach-E GT... The I5 felt to me very "planted" and it actually had a staggered wheel setup. The Ionic 5 just kept on...

    Polestar 2 Fully loaded experience and comparison

    When I test drove the P2 it rattled as well, I was like this is a Volvo right? The Ionic 5 and Model 3 killed it. IF the P2 had the handling of the Ionic 5 and the speed of the Tesla well then sign me up. Heck the Mach-E was a lot more fun to drive as well.

    Thoughts after test driving Ioniq 5 from a Model 3 LR owner...

    Test drove a lot of EV's and outside of the model 3 I loved the Ionic 5. The front "A"? pillars were so far out of the way that I feel like I had a beautiful view of the whole road. Tesla model 3 was a close 2nd. The handling to me was so attuned to what the car was doing without trying to kill...

    How concerned are you about the warranty (or lack thereof)?

    We still have our Mercedes at 130,000. It had maybe two or three big things 2000.00 or so. Tires are the most reoccurring expense. Most of the things that had to be ironed out were covered during warrantee. I figure within 50,000 or 4 years if it plays out the way our MB did all should be good...

    How concerned are you about the warranty (or lack thereof)?

    I saw a couple of charts that put this car on the same level as a Toyota Camary, and if we are saving that much on gas, that should in a "perfect" world take care of any repairs

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    I really wish Tesla would just make a heads up display. Mercedes has a quite nice one, and so does Ionic 5. To me it would be a brilliant way to keep the clean lines of the model 3 and Y. :cool:

    Help me finalize color choice! Blue vs White vs Red

    I'm so torn between the white and blue colors. Haven't got a vin # yet..so the internal struggle continues. The best blue I've ever seen was on a Mercedes and this blue isn't quite that, the white with the white interior, slap a NASA.Space X sticker on it and I could roll thru the gates.

    USB Music frustration

    So you could get the USB music to work from the "console" usb ports? I haven't got our model 3 yet, and I was looking foward to using a usb stick for a bunch of my music.

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Man that really stinks, glad you are good, on a lighter note that SUV must have been really moving, it looks like it's trying to eat your aero wheel. To me it's interesting how Tesla's airbags went off, only on the side of the driver, no passengers in the car then. Kind of wild.

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    I just got thru looking at a model 3 Performance in Loveland Co that just came in from Fremont, It had the front laminated, but I didn't see the back windows laminated. The specialist said it had the new battery and I saw the windshield wipers that had warmers. When Tesla says back window, do...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The newest one I saw at the dealer in Loveland coming out of Fremont, had the little charger in the back with an adaptor for other types of chargers along with a regular 120 outlet adaptor. You have to buy the 220 one.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was anxious as well, but after seeing some of the changes they made to the Model 3, I was anxious that I ordered "too soon". I'm really happy about them getting rid of the lead acid battery. So to me that was worth the wait.
