    New Addition to the Family

    LOL. Didn’t you know we have FSD and Smart Summon?

    New Addition to the Family

    As much as I love the Model S P90DL, it was time for a change. The P90DL only had 25,000mi on the odometer, but is going to a good home (my father.) Decided to get a 2021 Model Y Performance, black exterior/white interior. Total opposite of the 2019 Model 3 Performance, white exterior/black...

    Did anyone come from bigger size sedan to Tesla Model 3?

    The M3 is surprising in size. Lots more storage and places to hide things than my P90DL. Also have a 2019 Ford F-250 King Ranch PowerStroke for towing horse trailers and boats. My F-250 had gaps in the panel and a few rattling noises-which some would consider unacceptable for an $80K pickup...

    How do you deal with cold steering wheel ?

    You can always sit on your hands in between your rear and the heated seat. Wow we have really digressed as a species....Guess next would be the complaint of no ventilated cooling seats.

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    Had one of the new Ram 1500 Hemi try to get in my lane from a stop. If I didn’t punch the throttle on the green light, he would have collided with my right side. I know the truck says “Ram” but he didn’t have to prove it with an accident.

    Seeking Opinions - New LR AWD vs. Demo M3P+

    Tough choices. The 2021 M3 will have the latest features, more comfortable ride and suspension, but of course the M3P is very awesome to drive everyday. If I were you, I would drive both the LR and P back to back and see which one would fit your needs and lifestyle.

    Issue with keyless entry with iPhone 12s and iPhone 12 minis?

    Well, jinxed myself. The 12 Pro Max sometimes does not communicate with my M3. Then the Bluetooth isn’t connecting today. Currently at a Supercharger and downloading the NA-2020.48-12628 software update.

    ‘love being first at the light and taking off. Strangely enough no one tries to accelerate at the same tempo? I hate speeding more than 6mph over the posted speed limit. Some cops will pull you over for going 4mph over the speed limit.

    Issue with keyless entry with iPhone 12s and iPhone 12 minis?

    My iPhone 12 Pro Max seems to working fine...now there are some spots out here in the country where the M3 is not getting a signal and I have to move the car 100 meters so I can use the Tesla app in my house. Other than that, the 12 Pro Max is as reliable as the Xs Max it replaced.

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    We got ICE’d at the supercharger in Huntsville, TX. Think one of the Tesla owners went into the Holiday Inn and told manager the Ford work truck was blocking 2 supercharging spots!! After finishing walking my dog, the truck was moved. The nice part was several owners were telling me they were...

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    Here in the US, some think you are rich if you drive a Tesla. Most don’t know the different model designations and ask a lot of questions. If someone or families have never seen or sat in a Tesla, I offer my MS and M3 as a demonstrator if I have time to spare. Usually happens at the...

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    Unfortunately being in the state of Texas, we sell more pickup trucks than the next 4 states combined!! I’m for customizing your truck anyway you want, but it seems some are over-compensating for something. I have have a F-350 PowerStroke to pull my horse trailers and boat, but it is...

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    Love the German Autobahns but you are correct...don’t want to do childish activities while driving. Especially going slow and blocking traffic in the left hand lane. The to piss off the Polizei.

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    You probably surprised them with MX. The uninformed are usually shocked to see the MX accelerate very quickly. When I was in Houston 3 weeks ago, I have never seen so many BMW 3 series in my life. Thought I was at some BMW car meet.

    Made the drive several times from San Diego, CAto Camp Lejeune, NC. Only in ICE vehicles though. Love West Texas for the flat land.

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    Yes the cars are total sleepers. I actually removed the “dual motor” and red line. Love the clean look. Of course just look at the spoiler and brake calipers to know it’s a Performance. Now the MS P90D, I get the attention of BMW M5’s and Mercedes AMG’s. Most give a thumbs up and drive by...

    Where do you keep your car registration?

    Mine registration and insurance is in the glove box unlocked. If someone wants to come to the ranch, they have a few options: I am US Navy veteran with combat related PTSD. My girlfriend has severe menstrual cycles and an excellent shot with any firearm. I have 2 Rottweilers-a male weighing in...

    Is M3 Big Enough?

    The M3 is surprisingly spacious on the inside. Definitely has more space for objects than my P90D ie, door pockets, storage under the arm rest, and pockets behind the front seat. My 90lbs Rottweiler loves riding in the back seat. The M3 fits my lifestyle more than the MS. You should test...

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    Similar to everyone else on this forum, I should clarify the difference between racing vs. spirited driving: when stopped at a traffic light, I will do the spirited acceleration, but will shut down after reaching the maximum speed limit. Don’t really actually “race” anybody on the street. Ways...

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    The funniest one I had was a Dodge Charger Scat Pack. I used to own a Charger SRT Hellcat and am fully aware of what the 6.4 Hemi can do. He didn’t like it when I kept pulling on him and gapped the charger at 80mph. His exhaust was way too loud and we were attracting attention from the...

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    Having my P3D for a total of three weeks now, it seems at every traffic light other vehicles and drivers want to race on green. The ones that want a go at it are usually mustangs, camaros, dodge chargers, challengers, pickup trucks, hyundai’s, and just too many to count. Last night was an...

    Disabling Rear Seat Belt Reminders

    The baby seat setting works!! Not sure about the latest software update. Had to reboot twice while driving today. Premium connectivity didn’t work and then the turn signals were not making noise.

    Disabling Rear Seat Belt Reminders

    I have a 90 lbs Rottweiler that travels with me everywhere I go (she is also a service dog). Since she weighs as much as a human, the seat belt reminders keep going off in the MCU and gets very annoying. Is there a way to disable the reminders and enable them when I have actual humans riding...

    Sync Messages option keeps turning off

    Currently having this problem on software 2020.44.10.1. Will not let me sync messages and when I receive a call, can’t answer from the MCU and the call stays on the iPhone instead of BT to the M3. Using an iPhone XS Max. Have got an iPhone 12 Pro Max for pickup on 11/13/2020. Don’t think it’s...

    Best practices when purchasing a used Tesla

    Speaking from recent experience about question #4, I have bought two Teslas, a MS P90D and a M3P. The P90D still had the unlimited Supercharging and premium connectivity attached to the MS. The M3P had the FSD active and will be updated in the future. ‘when I registered and setup a Tesla...

    Adding a Model 3 Performance into the Family

    Absolutely love this M3P. A little bit stiffer ride than the MS P90D, but livable. The P90D is amazing in the straight line, but the M3P loves to take corners and evasive moves. The P90D has unlimited Supercharging and is great for long distance trips. Still too early to give a deep informed...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    Question...I am having mobile service come to my house tomorrow for replacing my headlights and a look at the passenger side airbag. First time using Tesla service. Do they normally send an estimate before the repairs? The estimate is roughly $3,157.

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    Just looked at mine. The top of the driver’s side DRL completely out and the top of the passengers side is starting to fade. 2016 MS P90D, 20,582 miles on odometer.

    65 mph Speed Limit Signs "invisible" to Tesla

    What’s wild is driving down I-35E towards Dallas, we have toll roads in between the north and southbound lanes. If I am in the left hand lane closest to the center toll roads, the car will recognize the 75mph signs and then if you move towards the center and right hand lanes, the car will pick...

    New MS P90D Owner with an Important Question

    Thanks for all think input. Lots of questions I can answer: The Model S has never been returned to Tesla. I purchased the P90D at a legacy dealership here in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The P90D was taken in trade from a couple for a Range Rover. The reason why the MS has low miles is...

    New MS P90D Owner with an Important Question

    Awesome thank you for the information. I bought my Tesla for a third-party (traditional dealership). When I tried to do a master reset I have to enter the email and password associated to the previous owner...which I do nothing have. Is there a way around resetting the vehicle without entering...

    New MS P90D Owner with an Important Question

    Just got a very clean 2016 MS P90D with 18,000 miles on it. Power and torque is incredible-much better than my Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. Here is my question: I currently live in an apartment, but there is a Volta Charger next door at the movie theater. There is also a Tesla Supercharger...
