2020, Built in Aug 2020. 36k miles Other than this issue I have had ZERO issues with this car, I love it.

UPDATE: Well it took over 1 month to get my Tesla into the service center (after the appointment being rescheduled by tesla 3 times). But I finally got the issue resolved. It was not the motor or motor mounts. I showed the tesla mechanic the video and he also went for a drive with me. He...

UPDATE: Got a message from Tesla today. "To best serve you and to get your car back to you as soon as possible, your service appointment has been rescheduled from Sep 22 to Oct 4. WTF! Apparently in LA they are backed up and would not be able to get to my car if I dropped it off on Sep 22.

A few weeks ago I noticed the clicking noise when accelerating and decelerating. So I attempted to locate the problem (before reading this thread). I mounted a gopro under the car focused on the right side of the rear motor because that is where i though the sound was coming from. I drove up...

Its related to the fan hitting the shroud. It can be caused by ice buildup or a loose balancing weight. If it was in your garage its probably a fan blade weight. Its an easy fix for service.

I have a 50 lb. ebike too and I use the Kuat 2.0 NV base.

80% windshield, 30% on sides and rear. All sunteck ceramic

I would go with the 2021 LR just for the new changes that came this december.

I saw a new model 3 on the 101 freeway in Sherman Oaks this week with the new headlights. I noticed the change right away. They looked good, slightly noticeable but definitely not obvious to anyone other than a enthusiast.

Thanks for this info!

When these cars are delivered the black trim is covered in white plastic with the the exception of the rear triangle window trim. That rear piece is not covered.

No, its for winter times when weather is very cold. I live in Los Angeles and my wife's car has a heated steering wheel. It is nice a few months of the year when its cold in the morning. Like below 45º. It gets warm but not hot and combined with the heated seats it warms you up fast before...

Thank you for this info. I had no idea that there was a red light and that it indicates a code. Today I was planning to go take a look at the light to see exactly what the problem was. But, it stayed below 100 degrees in the valley and the charger never dropped below 12amps. So I am...

Wow, I did not know there were temp sensors in all 3 parts. It is plugged in with direct sunlight and 100*+ temperature. So that makes sense that it works fast during the early morning and afternoon but slows down during the hottest part of the day.

To be honest, I don’t really charge at home. I work 60 hours a week and with a 35 mile round trip commute, charging at work 12 hours daily should be all I need. So I guess everything is working as designed. Is the reduction in amps because of the temperature of the mobile charger body, or the...

I am having trouble determining why my Tesla mobile charger is reducing the amps while charging on 120v. I charge while at work. I work 12 hour shifts and I am using a 120v 15 amp standard outlet. When I plug in the app shows I am charging at 122v 12/12amp and getting 5 mi / hour. Then a few...

Yes, reverse sound was so annoying I unplugged the speaker the second day I owned the car.

I am interested in just the hitch. Not interested in the other parts. But your price is out of my range.

These were not the wide EU plates. These were the width of the US license plate holes. But they appeared to be too short for the bottom holes. They would only connect to the top 2 license plate holes (or connect to another bigger bracket).

Today I saw about 5 car haulers on the I5 traveling from Fremont to Los Angeles all hauling model 3 with black trim. One thing I was surprised to see is that they all had a small black rectangular license plate bracket bolted to the center of the front bumper. This means that if you want to...

I saw a delivery of new model 3s being unloaded in Los Angeles today with the black trim and the new console. One other new addition I noticed is that there is a black rectangular license plate bracket screwed into the center of the front bumper. Yes bolted in to the center, not under the front...

Now that I own EAP and it’s locked to my particular car I wonder if my insurance will add the additional $4000 to my car’s policy. I hate to think that someone could crash into me and total the car and I’m out the $4000.

I purchased EAP today while at work. I used NoAP on the way home and was very happy with it. The lane change is great. Worth the money IMO.

I just used Concours Auto Spa for my new Model 3. They really did a perfect job. Couldn't be happier. Locations in Marina Del Rey and Torrance. Suntek CIR ceramic tint, Windshield, Rear (one piece) and all side windows for $680. Vendor - Concours Auto Spa - Model 3 - PPF, Ceramic Coatings...

It will probably not be available on October 1. They add stuff like this at the end of the quarter to boost revenue if they are falling short of Wall Street expectations. It may show up again in future quarters if they need a quickly boost in sales revenue.

I have seen that report too. I took delivery today (9/9) of my Model 3 LR AWD. It did not have the new button icons. It did not have the electronic trunk lifts or the new headlights. The delivery experience was good. They set up a "pop-up delivery center" in Sherman Oaks due to the high...

In the Burbank area. Ordered 7/21 2 texts received, both in August. VIN received and delivery scheduled on 9/6. Delivery on 9/9.

I got the text today! “Tesla Update - Your Model 3 is on its way to the Sherman Oaks Pop-up Delivery Center and is ready to be scheduled for delivery!” I had scheduled a Burbank pickup but as user HarpoonS said they are not doing deliveries at Burbank now, they have a Pop-up delivery center...

Not luck. Performance models are consistently getting delivered a few weeks before other models.

Hit and run can be a felony if there is injury or death.

There are a few changes that are coming but there is no way of knowing when they will all be added. Probably some will be added over the next 3 months. I would assume all changes would be completed be end of year. But none of these changes are related to the Battery Day presentation. Things...

This is interesting because I was considering switching to Connect insurance today. I got a quote and the premium is about $900 cheaper per year than my current auto insurance. Currently my wife and I use California Casualty insurance but we have never had to file a claim. $900 is a big...

I think the SoCal vehicles will start shipping the 2nd and 3rd weeks of September. They are probably trying to get the east coast and mid-west vehicles shipped out on trains now. Remember, they are highly focused on getting the maximum number of cars delivered to customers by midnight...

Yes, and redesigned headlights, powered lift truck, new smaller frunk, possibly to add the heatpump. Redesign? New frunk, headlights and power trunk?

Great story. I live in Santa Clarita too and I ordered a MGM LR AWD in July. Should be ready in September.

This video shows the heat pump in the Model Y. The first thing you notice is that the chiller is moved to the passenger side and the heat pump has a large orange Power wire on the front. The model 3 a/c compressor has the chiller on the driver side and the compressor is incased in a black...

Ordered 7/21. Got the 2-4 week text today.

I was wondering about this. How hard is it to remove the window trim? I have already learned how to and planned to remove the door handles and paint them black.

I am torn because I love the model y black trim and I wanted to wait until the Model 3 offered the black trim to order. But in July I was tired of waiting and ordered a 3. I have been watching dozens of videos of how to do the chrome delete and I am planning to do the chrome delete the day my...

According to this article, Tesla will offer the Model 3 with the same black trim as the Model Y starting at the Gigafactory Shanghai soon. It is expected to be available at Fremont in the future too. Tesla Giga Shanghai Model 3 Will Soon Come from Factory with 'Full Chrome Delete'

Tesla introduces newly designed headlights and power trunk on the Model 3 [Photos] - Update - Drive Tesla Canada And Redesign? New frunk, headlights and power trunk?

Thanks, But we need someone willing to remove the cover and take some pics so we can see if you have the A/C compressor or a heat pump.

According to some “insiders” on Twitter (back in July) there was a planned plant shutdown the first week of August. The rumor was that they had some redesigns including updating the model 3 to use the same battery packs as the Model Y. This means the model 3 packs would have to use the same...

I would like to see those headlights on, both regular, high beam and DTRL Only. great question. We need pics under the plastic liner.

I ordered a LR AWD on 7/25 as well and I got a text today saying it would be ready 4-8 weeks from today. So Tesla is probably going to jam out the orders the last week of September to impact the Q3 earnings report just like they did the last week of June.

I ordered a LR AWD on 7/25 and it had a 5-9 week wait when I ordered. Today I got the text saying it would be another 4-8 weeks from today. During the last week of June we saw a huge push to deliver every order before midnight June 30 so they could increase the Q2 deliveries. I think we will...
