    Hankook new iON tire, an "EV" tire (not the same as Kinergy GT)

    All I care about is if they last longer than normal Tesla tires. I've been buying Continentals, and the fragging car EATS tires. I get about 2 years if I rotate front to back.

    Paid for FSD - how do I enable it?

    Same problem here, could not make it go to FSD. Turns out, you can't have your foot on the brake when enabling it. Years of having to start the car by first pressing the brake, so that is my habit.

    Yea, they ate my $250 deposit. I had to reup and get a new VIN.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I on my my second deposit for a TM3, for $250. The first $250 was lost after the title for the trade in was rejected by Tesla, so I had to get a new one from the DMV. They estimated 2-4 weeks for that, it arrived in about 2 weeks. Tesla put a "hold" on the purchase, but then canceled the entire...

    OEM cover disintegrates over time?

    I have a 2018 Model 3. I bought a OEM Tesla cover at the same time, used everyday. It is coming apart now. Several rips in the outer cover, and the real issue is that it leaves a fine dust all over the car, which kinda negates the point of the cover. Anyone else have this experience? Thanks...

    Model 3 cracked glass

    I have a 4 inch crack in the rear glass roof. Does anyone know if any glass shop can handle this or does it need a special repair? Can I just drill the ends to stop it and fill it? Thanks, Scott Franco San Jose, CA

    windshield washers not working

    Hi, I read through this thread completely (used to work, makes the motor sound, only use proper wiper fluid in reservoir, etc). I have cleared this on other cars with a pin. However, I can't see where the opening is. It seems like the wipers themselves have the squirters, because there is a...

    Firmware Version 9

    Where is the versioin 9 upgrade? Everyone seems to have it. I enabled home wifi on the car as instructed, but haven't seen any hint of the upgrade.

    Watch the ‘Boring Bricks’ Being Produced

    Trying to make an important structural item from dirt is bad enough. Trying to make it from the varying types of soil that come from each particular tunnel, and even different sections of that tunnel, is worse. I predict this fails.

    Chinese Electric Vehicle Makers Swarm Into California, Chasing Tesla

    China companies starting a branch office here in Silicon Valley to suddenly become Silicon Valley entrepreneurs would be like Elon musk moving to Shanghai to become Chinese. For one thing, its an old idea that many have tried, with notable lack of success, IBM and Nortel being two good examples.

    Would You Prefer A Solid Roof?

    All glass roofs are hot, impractical, and..... I just love the idea. The cool factor is off the charts. One glass roof to go. Perhaps this is the falcon door of the Model S, in that it is a feature that appeals to the heart and not the head.

    Media stop comparing Bolt to Model 3

    There is nothing wrong with the Bolt if they fix their charger issue, they need that 150kW the CCS group has been hinting at. As for the network, I was impressed on how fast CCS fast chargers got rolled out. I have a spark, and the CCS locations are nearly what my Leaf has for Chademo. If they...

    If car companies can't invent a viable EV solution to compete, what happens to Elon's vison?

    Don't know why this gets repeated so often. Natural gas is abundant, some would say overabundant, and the conversion of the grid in america to NG generation is moving apace. In California it is already the dominant source. Coal has been virtually outlawed in the USA. Perhaps the main reason NG...

    By the way, no spare tire? right?

    Too bad Tesla cannot put self inflators on the car. Big trucks have had this capability for years, you have a monitor panel inside the truck and press a button. Inflator pumps got really small and cheap, they are just a plunger and and electromagnet, which is why now you can buy a small inflator...

    How much would you pay for Supercharging on Model 3?

    Whats wrong with $ per kWh? Blink switched to that model and it makes total sense: 1. You pay for what you actually get. 2. No incentive to camp on chargers. 3. No incentive to charge away from home. Since Blink switched to that model, their SC station got a lot more useful to me. Now I use it...

    A plea: no faux grill please

    It seems like Elon might actually be listening to various pleas to put a faux grill back on the model 3. I'd like to counter that. Please Elon, no faux grill. Grills are obsolescent on EVs. It does not have a big, hot engine to cool. That is part of why EVs are not energy hogs like ICE cars...

    Potential BOLT customers being suctioned up by Tesla !

    I am on the M3 waitlist but will also exchange my Leaf for a bolt at the end of the year if I can, both leases. The bolt needs to charge at 100kW minimum, and I believe GM will be forced to offer that eventually. A car that has twice the battery but the same charge rate as a current car (50kW)...

    Portrait vs Landscape Center Screen

    The landscape display mounted high places it closer to the drivers FOV (Field of View). This matches Teslas design goal of putting everything possible into the center console (both control and information). The problem with driver console mounted displays is you are always ducking and looking...
