    2022 M3SR+...having a few weird issues.

    I've had my car now for about 8 months (4500 miles)...really love the car. Had to get a taillight replaced and squeak fixed, but thats the only issue. Recently, however, I've had a couple of issues: 1. Turn on car, and the screen will be in the dark mode (bright sunny day in LA) for 5...

    New car..scraped front (by right wheel) on curb...fix?

    I figured this would happen sooner or later, being a very low car (especially compared to my old Subarus)...I was making a U turn to park and scraped my lower right front fender(?) on the curb...a scrape about 3-4 inches long, not even an inch high. No dent, but it's completely black (white...

    SR+ vs LR handling?

    That might explain the .7 second difference from 0-60! Based on how I see Tesla's drive around the Westside of LA (and there are lots), most drivers have never floored the accelerator ever.

    SR+ vs LR handling?

    Fortunately, I ordered the car last June so I paid under 40K. Is my car (LFP I assume) that much heavier than the older battery?

    SR+ vs LR handling?

    Thanks for the detailed response...I live in the canyons of LA, so when I do floor the car I have to apply brakes really fast because its going way too fast for the neighborhood. But compared to my Forester and Outback, the car is like an F1!

    SR+ vs LR handling?

    Tried my best to get an answer online, but I'm wondering what the difference is between these two cars in normal (dry) conditions? Obviously, AWD handles differently than RWD. I've owned a bunch of Audi's, and the one time I got a FWD one it was really noticeable. But I haven't heard that...

    36 hours of M3 SR+ ownership...my initial thoughts

    Car was @197 miles. Seemed like it took a long time to go to 100%. But I’ve only charged it once. It says it’s only charging at 32 amps, despite my juice box being a 40amp charger. Not a big deal, since I charge overnight. Two other questions: 1. Should I keep sentry mode on all the...

    36 hours of M3 SR+ ownership...my initial thoughts

    That indeed is true. Unfortunately, Tesla doesn't offer a premium sound upgrade without paying 10K more for the extra motor/battery.

    36 hours of M3 SR+ ownership...my initial thoughts

    Forgot one more thing: Tesla's version of "Blind Side Assist" is either a total fail, or takes some time to get used to. Why not just put the indicators in the side view mirrors like everyone else!

    36 hours of M3 SR+ ownership...my initial thoughts

    I had ordered my SR+ last July, but just got it delivered Wednesday...postponed it a few times as I thought the $7500 tax credit might pass...instead, it backfired as the CA credit went from $1500 to $750 and the APR on the loan went from 2.49 to 3.24. Sometimes you gamble and lose! I had...
