You have two different things going on. The scrapes are going in different directions so at least TWO separate incidents. The "white scratches" do not look anything like an impact whatsoever IMO. The "Black/darker" ones do seem to be a tad bit deeper. First off. the "white" ones could be...

We have a 2022 M3LR and absolutely LOVE IT! You have a similar commute to my wife. She has an 80 mile round trip. We live in Colorado where we get super hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. The M3LR is a dream to drive in the winter but we did get a dedicated set of snow tires/rims...

I hate to say this but those are not "swirls" or "holograms". From the pictures you posted...those are surface scratches. When you took delivery in your original post you stated this: I just took delivery of my new Model Y that has swirl marks and scratches all over the car, the hood seems...

We have never used "overheat protection". For us we simply setup a schedule to precondition to make the cabin temps comfortable based on when my wife leaves work. For example....at home we setup a schedule to precondition at the time the car needs to leave. WORKS GREAT! When the car leaves...

We charge to 50-60% daily. It is what my wife needs to go round trip to work with some errands if she likes. We obviously charge higher when going on a longer trip.

Most definitely Danny! Thanks for helping us!

A shout out to Danny "MODEL+"...when we purchased our snow tires last September/October he sold us our set. Absolutely LOVE them (if you can love TPMS sensors..hehehe). Great person to work with and they are way cheaper than purchasing directly from Tesla.

I will "bite"..... I started in STANDARD for us (read non-chill) and got used to ACTUALLY figuring out how the car drives. Fast Forward from out 3000 mile trip from CO to FLA and back. I really do love "CHILL MODE"....it is a smoother acceleration, still enough acceleration if needed. BUT If...

"Cooperatives are created by people who have a specific need and who are willing to work together to operate and organize a company that will meet that need." Probably not the best definition. Our company MVEA...is a community that folks actually have a VOTE on power. Not "shareholder" stuff...

They do not offer a discount. But they did state that charging late at night when power draw is lower than during the daytime it helps the system as a whole. We are part of a COOP so anything to help the folks out I am willing to do. So my "carrot" is essentially doing something I can do to...

Just found out that charging times makes a difference! Not Prices..but when folks take more electricity .... it helps us all! WE pay for a certain charge but after an hour chatting with our electric association they would like us to charge at differing hours. Makes sense? WE usually just...

So sorry for what is going on with your charging. A similar thing happened with a friend of mine. Couldn't figure out what was going on. Turned out one of the "pins"...his word not mine...was slightly not making contact from where the charge cable end did not make contact with the receptacle...

YUP! We got our first "CRACK" from a "supposed" rock hit right at the top of the windshield EDIT: What I mean by "supposed" is that neither of us heard it or felt it....simply cracked backing out of the garage. MAYBE it was a "space rock"....jokingly of course ;). Kind of stinks but we are...

Confused. What film did you put on the Pano and Windshield/doors glass and did not get any reduction with heat? We are the entire OPPOSITE on this with what we installed (see previous post).

We use XPEL Prime XR Plus on all the windows and have no need for a roof shade on our M3LR. We use this on all our vehicles and the heat rejection is very beneficial.

You will be JUST FINE! Since you are in Niceville you have some options! Crestview has a supercharger if you are headed North. DeFuniak Springs has one as well believe it or not! If you are traveling WEST towards Pensacola you have a really nice supercharger in Gulf Breeze as well. We did...

Not on ours. Can you give us some details? Ours is in the garage and I just went so see if getting in and starting we had zero issues.

I think a Tesla is a great idea! Safe car, cheap charging at home, reliable. And you already probably know you can track the car via the app and you can even limit the speed if you like.

Dang! I was hoping they could take care of it for you via the PDR route. Hopefully you can get it fixed soon.

Correct! We haven't had an issue with ours. My suggestion is on an overall tire wear issue. Our alignment has been simply fine on our M3LR. Just a suggestion to the OP. I track my Porsche and take a ton of car on seeing how things wear so I am familiar with alignments. If the OP hasn't...

At least here, TONS of Teslas know how to lift a Tesla for a tire change or rotation. IF you have a proper tire gauge for tire depth, then you may not even need to rotate your tires as @rpiotro mentioned. Be sure to look at where the edges are worn and if you see that something is not "right"...

Collision center job was in over $1500.00 and that was on a collision center and not a Porsche place. I fortunately did not have paint damage but a SEVERE crease! Your situation from the pics has zero paint damage! GOOD THING! Try another PDR place that works with a dealer. Most likely...

Ahhh now I get it! In my opinion only (aka grain of salt). I see a depression without paint damage. A reputable PDR place could potentially go down from the window and put a "push" on it and take out the indentation. Just based on what I see. I have had the unfortunate experience of...

Absolutely not a "kind of dumb question" at all! From your initial pic it was hard for me to see what actually happened. I am still not clear on where the issue is. It appears that the upper part of the door is perhaps "moved in" rather than a dent.

We have a 2022 M3LR and I do not believe that the protocols have changed between the M3P and the LR. They are Bluetooth and the car should recognize it. I had a similar question when we installed new TPMS sensors for our winter wheels/tires...

Never had an issue when putting the car into "Car Wash" mode. Our charge port does not open at all when washing while in the mode.

Not a silly idea at all! 1. Not sure if I would purchase a preowned Tesla with prices the way they are now. But in the 25k range would be a nice fun car. 2. We purchased our 2022 M3LR and absolutely LOVE IT! 3. My fun car is a 996TT and have done a ton to make it the way I want for the...

It all depends on your level of confidence with a DIY repair. I really could not see the damage except for the first photo where it seems like there is a depression from the driver side "dent" (for lack of a better term) due to the reflections. A PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) shop most likely...

We used to charge at 60%. Now we charge at 50% simply based on our needs locally. AP does have adaptive CC. No lane changes for simple AutoPilot. Your Car will not do a lane change for simple autopilot. EAP may do that but I have zero experience with that. Agreed. No automatic lane...

100% with issues on "phantom braking" in Texas! We did a 3000 mile round trip from CO to FLA traveling through Texas two weeks ago. We experienced the same thing on our trip. What I believe is that when the temps get a bit hotter and there are "mirages" that I can see on the road ahead may...

I agree! Cabin Overheat is something that folks may want. We elect not to. I apologize for the argument @EVRider-FL

It is tough to debate this as Tesla mentioned that it has nothing to protect your vehicle. If folks in hotter temps like to use it then it is OK. However, if the car is on a schedule...simply set it up for departure time and have your car set to 68/69/70/71/72/73 etc........you get my point...

If you feel that items in the car that need to be under the prescribed temp for Cabin Overheat Protection go for it. I would ask about how you mention your statement: So the interior of the car is vulnerable to higher temps? Contents are another story and if the "contents" need to be...

It has a TON to do with that! In our situation, my wife leaves the Tesla parked at work. She gets in at 6 AM and leaves at 4 PM. The entire time she is at work with the car sitting she could really care less about the interior temps. When she is ready to leave, Preconditioning, sets up her...

For our 2022 M3LR, we have NEVER used the Cabin Overheat Protection. Since our car is a Daily Driver with pretty much the EXACT same time of departure, we have setup a Preconditioning routine under "Schedule" in the application. It took me a bit to figure this out when we first purchased but...

So we always charge at home. But for our our trip that included superchargers near destination (CO/FLA and FLA/CO) costed $381.65 We were NOT driving conservatively by any stretch of the imagination. Even with that being said, our charging over the trip was less than gas. Not significantly...

So our trip from CO to FLA was an interesting thing. Average was 317 over 3000 miles. Overall still at 261.

We found that there is a supercharger in Defuniak Springs where my in laws live and it was a nice place to stop. No one was there so it was a nice place to "top off" as we were there multiple times from Pensacola to Defuniak Springs. The Crestview charger was nice and the only reason we topped...

Your trip will be incredible! Do not overthink it but you should be prepared if you do not have a charger at your destination. ABRP is a good resource that you can leverage between stops if you need to do so. Take a look at my post for a 1500 mile trip one way! We elected to run the...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You spoiled it! It took me a bit to look for the "leak".....once I found the "copper top" I laughed my ass off!

Cost was not an option based on the fuel costs. We made a point of going into every place we stopped (some were not available at 3 AM) and purchase something! I do that when I fill up as well. Keep the local stations for gas/charging available.

I am confused. Did you lose FSD or Autopilot? What were you issues? Our 2022 M3LR on autopilot worked at night with all the issues you are describing. Did your car not allow autopilot?

Go for it! Keep the posts coming!

Denver to Fort Walton Beach was 21 hours and change. We elected to get a fast charge at several stops on the way out but on the return trip I moved the charge limit to 80% and it worked. YES! No traffic but no chargers....however, we made certain we would find one close by! UGG not at night...

On the way out we limited the charge to 60% for our trip but we found that it charged up VERY quickly on each stop. We were NOT going for efficiency after the first stop on the way. ABRP was a good "estimate" and it gave us options. However it was having us charge up for multiple times for...

HAHA! Yes new friends on the road trip! However, my ICE buddy was really surprised on how easy it was! We showed him a couple of videos on the trip and while we could have done the trip in about an hour or so less...it wasnt worth it for us. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how many...

Well our plans changed again and we just returned from our 10 day trip to NW Florida from Colorado and back. Our trip was 1500 miles each way and driving at our destination on the Emerald Coast around Destin/Fort Walton Beach/Pensacola and it was a fun vacation! I have to say that this was one...

We just returned from a 3400 round trip from CO to FLA and we did each way non-stop. At night on long stretches of highway without streetlights we got tons of camera obstruction messages. Cameras were all perfectly clean and as was mentioned earlier it seems as though it is just because there...

Trip changed but going mid-week first or second week of June. So ABRP shows a bunch of charge stops for only a few a few minutes. Perhaps it is because we have extra weight and speed is 90 mph amd SOC at destination in Fort Walton Beach FL….I was trying to just limit charges on ABRP to %60...

Personally we would not pay on any vehicle for an "extended" warranty. Just simply put what you would pay aside.
