Hi guys, is there any way I could turn off the 12V outlet when not driving / parking? I have something which I always use when driving and don't want to keep plugging and unplugging it every single time, but on the other hand, don't want it to consume any energy when I don't drive. Any...

If they didn't confirm anything then is this document issued by Tesla fake? It clearly states 82 kWh

Hi, I ordered M3 LR white/white on Oct 7 and refused 2020 VINs twice already. My Tesla rep told me today that the 2021 VIN should be assigned by the end of this week :) We will see...

Tesla confirms new 82 kWh battery pack in Model 3, thanks to new cells - Electrek I wonder how much faster will it recharge

Tesla confirms new 82 kWh battery pack in Model 3, thanks to new cells - Electrek

I somehow agree with your conclusions, mostly about keeping the conversation here on topic, but I think your comparison may sound a bit inappropriate due to a completely different base cost, as well as the features expectations for cereal and cars respectively :) To be honest, one could call it...

Hi guys, as FSD requires more computational power it would be logical to assume the car consumes more energy when FSD is engaged, so I was wondering if there is any data available on how it influences the range. We can probably assume the FSD should be able to at least partially offset the...

I guess you could contact your Tesla rep and ask what your options are, but from what we heard here before Tesla is not really known for offering great trade-in deals, even for its own customers, so if you REALLY HAVE to you may be better off selling it to Carvana, etc. and then purchasing the...

As discussed earlier here the range boost for the new M3 models may be coming from multiple factors: - heat pump, - new 18" areo wheels, - new Panasonic batteries, - new software. However, if the information in the link above is correct and Tesla pushes a software update for model Y now, which...

Guys, for those of you seeking answers about the software upgrade, which would give the earlier M3 models range boost similar to the one expected for the 2021 M3 models. Here it is for model Y, so I assume it will be also applied to model 3: Tesla pushes new software update increasing range of...

Thank you!

Guys, I checked with my Tesla rep and he confirmed that the heat pump will be in ALL new M3 models, so it's not only in M3 LR AWD. He also said that the orders placed before the refreshed M3 was announced are currently awaiting "rematch", so they will indicate the new models on the Tesla...

Have you tried to pair another phone with your car and use it for a phone call? This way you will find out if it's the phone, or the car's Bluetooth.

Hey guys, is there any way to adjust the height and the tilt/angle of the touchscreen in M3? That was actually my very first thought when I took the test drive. If the driver's seat is fully adjustable then it would be really inconsistent not to be able to adjust the touchscreen's position. If...

Same here.

How relevant is the heated steering wheel in a car, which you can pre-heat to your preferred temperature before you start driving it?

I wonder how about the orders placed before they officially announced M3 refresh when the 7 days return policy was still active. Would they still be eligible, or not if receiving the refreshed model?

Did somebody say that "phone as key" feature does require LTE? I am pretty sure I didn't. Also, I am not sure what's the point to "remind" everybody that I don't have my Tesla yet for a second time already. Should I just shut up because I haven't received the delivery yet?

Here is some clarification about the Samsung Watch 3 app directly from its developer: "You can't use this app as a keycard or a phone-as-key like the official app. This requires a Bluetooth API not available to 3rd-party apps. But you can use the remote start command and enter your password to...

Then why Tesla updated the websites now and offer the refreshed M3 with the delivery in 5-9 weeks?

They may have some inventory of the old M3s at your location, so I would recommend contacting your local Tesla rep, but if you need the car ASAP then you wouldn't be probably able to get the M3 refresh, which is supposed to be released in the US in mid Nov.

I am with you on this. Here is what I found in Samsung's app store: DRIVE Electric for Tesla - Galaxy Store

They updated all the websites by now

My order has been placed on Oct 8 and I had no problem at all with requesting the refreshed M3 LR. It took me one text message.

Yeah, if all the numbers on their website are correct now it looks like M3 LR is a true range star :)

Honestly, it's hard to disagree :)

I think the range for model Y hasn't changed so significantly, has it?

We will appreciate an update on this if possible. Thanks!

Wow! This is BIG! Definitely worth the wait! Thank you for posting.

Hopefully, it will change soon, because from the connectivity point of view there is not too much difference now between LTE enabled smartwatch and a cell phone. As Tesla is using Bluetooth to pair the phone with the car I don't see a reason they couldn't release a smartwatch app doing exactly...

So, if I understand correctly I can lock my phone inside the car with the app on my smartwatch and then unlock it and drive as the phone is inside, correct?

Has somebody here actually confirmed receiving the 2021 VIN already? I wonder when the 2021 VINs will start appearing for M3.

I found this one for Android, which seems to be really full of options and able to control most of the car's settings: DRIVE Electric for Tesla - Galaxy Store Just in case anybody else may need it.

Hey guys, I remember reading something about the option to use Apple Watch as a key for Tesla cars, so I was wondering if it actually works for M3. Is it limited to the Apple Watch only, or would it work with Samsung/Android smartwatches as well? Thanks!

Here is some interesting analysis on this topic: Tesla Model 3: Here's How The Range Changes In Hot And Cold Weather

I am not sure how many customers would be interested in such an "upgrade"

Tesla Model 3 With 4680 Pack: Estimated Charging Time, Power, And Size The only question is "when" I guess :)

As we have seen on this forum there may still be a lot of potential customers, who actually prefer the chrome finish and the old central console look and functionality, so I wouldn't be so sure that everybody wants to wait for M3 refresh, let alone the annoyance of waiting.

I must be a lucky one then because my Tesla rep not only replies to my email and text messages within 10 minutes and even after 7pm, but also sent me a confirmation in writing that if I want to they will postpone the delivery till the time the refreshed M3 shows up in their inventory.

Hi guys, have you seen Andy's video? It nicely summarizes all the changes coming to the refreshed model 3

Thank you for posting this. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you! So, if the estimate is constantly being updated after each 30 miles driven then actually all factors are taken into consideration, including the changing weather, speed, total load, etc. This sounds like a very smart car to me :)

Hi guys, I was wondering what to expect in winter time as far as the range depletion due to a lower temperature is concerned. Is there a chart available somewhere showing the function of the range against the outside temperature for Model 3? What would be the average drop in the range I should...

Thanks! I think I got that, but I was rather wondering how is Tesla software able to compensate for the factors like the actual load of the vehicle (obviously if I drive alone it would be more energy-efficient than if I take 4 other people and their bags), or the driving conditions. These...

This is really encouraging. Thank you!

This is another reason to patiently wait for the M3 refresh I guess :)

This may be a bit off-topic in this thread, but I was actually wondering how the trip planning with Tesla works, so I opened their website and put in a sample trip to see the number of stops for recharging and the timing. Then I thought: okay, but based on what speed is their software...

Hi guys, I am relatively new here, so please don't lynch me if this question has been asked before. My understanding is that to get 110V power directly from M3 battery I would need the 12V-110V converter because there is no 110V outlet in M3, right? So, can the M3 battery be used as a "power...

Guys, sorry I wasn't able to read the entire thread, so don't lynch me if my question has been asked before, but does the 0.5 sec upgrade reduce the range? I assume it definitely would in Sport mode, but how about Chill mode?

I placed my M3 LR order last Friday and was seriously considering the 19" wheels, but then I realized they won't match the chrome delete finish. Now I am glad I went with the 18" areo :) Thank you for posting this!
