So I've been reading that the M3 usually doesn't need brakes until up to 100k miles due to the use of regen braking (which I religiously use—I almost never step on the brakes), so I'm wondering why the hell I'm getting a nasty scraping sound coming from the front end every time I leave in the...

I want to really thank you guys for going above and beyond answering my question! 👍🏻👍🏻 You've made me feel a lot better knowing that it's not possible to get greater than a 30 mi/hr ROC with my setup. I'm definitely happy with the 30 mi/hr—this wasn't about getting a faster ROC, I just wanted...

If you don't mind me asking, how are you getting 41 mi/hr? And how would I max out at 46? Is the hardwired wall connector required in these cases?

Thanks guys! I probably should have worded it differently, something like: "is anyone getting anything over 30 mi/hr with a 50a 240v connection plugged into a 14-50 outlet?" I just paid $1400 for the job, but he had to run 90 feet of cable from my main panel, and that includes installing the...

I have an AWD, dual motor. My electrician installed the 14-50 in my garage...it's off of a 100A subpanel. I'm clueless with the electrician stuff...

No I have a dual motor non-performance. Is it different max charging rates between models?

Hi guys, my electrician just got done wiring a 50A 240v connection to my garage, where he installed a 100A subpanel and then wired a 14-50 outlet off of it. It looks like my charge is maxing out at 32A and 30 mi/hr, which is great, but I'm reading that some people with the same setup are...

Bump

So I just bought a set of non-OEM turbine rims, and the center bore is 64mm vs 57mm for the OEM rims, so the center caps from my old wheels are too small and aren't fitting. The problem is - I can NOT for the life of me find any Tesla branded center caps in a 64mm size! I've scoured Google and...

Thank you guys, I went with 245/40 👍🏻👍🏻

I'm currently struggling between 245/40 and 255/35. I found some pics of a few Audi S5's with the 255/35 19's as I think that is their stock tire size, and I really like the look of them... nice and wide with a decently sized sidewall, and just a tiny bit of wheel rash protection :) My current...

Hi guys, I finally bit the bullet on a set of 19"x8.5 turbine rims (offset +35) and now I'm on the hunt for a good set of tires that will fit snugly. My setup is a little complicated because I'm dropped approximately 1.4" (MPP perf. coilovers) and have 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm on the...

I know the answer is probably "you can't", but I would love to know if there's any way to modify the persistent notification (default "lock", "front trunk" and "rear trunk")?? I'd love to replace "lock" with the new open door feature. I already added it to the quick access within the app, but...

I'm interested in getting tints soon, but I'm worried about seeing a line across the back window. The tech said I won't see it, but I'm wondering how I won't?? Does anyone have pics of tints installed on the back window?

I would prefer both, so that the rim is wider and flush with the fender without having to install spacers...

I think I wor I may be misunderstanding what offset is, but I'm just trying to achieve a completely flush look with the fender. I just bought Bonoss spacers, but I was thinking I could achieve the same thing with a wider rim...but without longer wheel studs it doesn't seem like I'd be able to...

I'm surprised I couldn't find this on any previous threads. I'm just wondering what is the widest width rims/tires that will fit on the dual motor model 3 (not sure if trim level makes a diff - pretty sure it's the same body on all trims). I'm looking to buy 19" rims - I just don't like the look...

Update: I was able to find a local shop through a referral, and they're charging $800, with an alignment included. That seems like a pretty good price... 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just bought a set of Bonoss (formerly Blox sport) 15/20mm. I'm currently on stock 18" aero, so hopefully this will eliminate the ugly offset and make the rims flush with the fenders. I also ordered MPP comfort coilovers, and I'm intending to go with almost a full 1.5" drop, maybe a little...

Is there anyone in the Orange County NY area that knows of a reputable shop to install coilovers? I've done a LOT of reading here and I've decided to go with the MPP comfort coilovers. They look to be adjustable to 1.5" down... I might not go that far—I just want to eliminate the fender gap...

I think you guys are missing the point. I'm well aware of the physics... my gripe is with the false advertisement. If I went to pick up the car and the sales rep told me, "Oh, by the way, that 300 miles of range you see there...that only applies if you drive 65 mph or less in a total vacuum. If...

So I just took my first semi-long trip, which is about 3.5 hours away and 222 total miles. I have a bit of range loss - which is expected because it's a 2018 - so fully charged it shows 290 miles. On the way there I had to stop to charge but didn't really pay attention to miles charged /driven...

I unplugged and replugged and nothing changed... I didn't think that would work, but this is very strange. I was getting 4-5 mi/hr every time I plugged in...

Currently as per the app, I'm getting 8/12A and 115V. I'm not sure why since I haven't changed a single thing. I wonder if unplugging it from the outlet would reset it??

I can't find this anywhere else on the forum...sorry if it's already been posted. I was consistently getting a 4-5mi/hr charge on my 110V for almost a year since I bought the car in Sept 2020. Even last winter I was getting a bare minimum of 3mi/hr. Now for the past 4-6 months I haven't been...

+1 on BEV. I've been waiting a long time for that. 🙂

They moved it to service

So I know it was just released, and it contains a ton of features, but I was wondering if anyone has found any hidden features yet. I'm sure they've added in a few undocumented features as Easter eggs. I'm currently searching for one. So far I'm loving it. The addition of showing the respective...

I actually think it's a good idea... if you really think about it, it doesn't increase complexity of the scroll buttons at all, because that functionality would only be available whilst the wiper UI is on the screen. 😊

They did make it look like there would be "quick controls" during the little in-car demo that I watched this am. I was wondering the same exact thing lol I thought for sure by long holding the car icon, it would pop up. No dice. This is actually a good feature request for a future update...

So it went pretty smoothly, thanks! 👍🏻 There indeed were several attendants walking around outside near the service entrance, so I was able to hand one of them my key card. They gave me a call shortly after explaining the workflow in detail, and an ETR. I got talked into an alignment - they...

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it. That was awesome of you @dmurphy to do that map, very much appreciated!

So I have a SA very early tomorrow, and I'm a little worried. I've only had one prior SA last year, but apparently now things have changed quite a bit, and there's a self check-in?? Their latest (and apparently final) message on the Tesla app instructed me to follow the arrows for dropoff...

Thanks guys for the feedback - I figured this was a RTFM moment, but I kinda wanted to share my funny story 😅

I don't think I'll ever go to a car wash again... I've been traumatized. This morning I went to the car wash (as I've done a dozen other times since getting the car), but this time the car put itself into park to "prevent rollaway" right in the middle of the f'n carwash! o_O This has actually...

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by down 3/4 then up 1/4? You couldn't mean inches, because that would be only a half inch, that's not much of a drop... I'm confused lol

Are the BC racing DR series coilovers any good? Has anyone installed these?? Very cool, thank you for the feedback! I don't track mine either, so I don't need any crazy racing setup...it's basically just aesthetics, but I don't want a ride any stiffer than stock - I feel like stock is stiff...

Are the BC racing DR series coilovers any good? Has anyone installed these??

I've seen wrap packages including door handles, cameras, etc...but I'm only interested in the trim around the door windows as that sticks out like an incredibly sore thumb now that I've wrapped everything else. Has anyone seen a wrap kit for only the trim surrounding the doors?? (I found only...

I wonder if any SC would swap out the trim? I'm only interested in the trim around the windows as that sticks out like an incredibly sore thumb now that I've wrapped everything else. I'd be more than willing to pay a few hundred to have the trim swapped out...

I actually like the design, just without those vertical blocks everywhere - it's just too busy with those. The dynamic turn signals and reverse lights are cool too (the reverse should be just a horizontal strip and not blocks)...even better would be animated turn signals like the new Audi's...

Hey guys, which are the least expensive coilovers?

I have non-P dual motor. Could you tell me how much the springs and spacers would be?

Great write up, thank you! I just don't really want to spend $2k. I don't drive super aggressively...for me it's 90% about the aesthetics (the fender gaps are hideous), and 10% importance on improved handling. I plan to couple the springs with some blox spacers (15mm/20mm), and I think then...

How many inches is the drop?

Hi everyone, I've searched around and I can't seem to find a straightforward comparison of these two springs. I have a LR dual motor. I would love someone to tell me how they compare: 1. Lowering amount 2. Ride quality/stiffness 3. Cost I basically want the biggest drop without being crazy...

It was the speed limit warning. Thank you for the help guys. I have no idea why it enabled itself lol I haven't been in that menu in months...:confused::confused:

Thank you guys, I don't have FSD so I will have to check my settings for the speed limit warning. I don't accidentally exit the lane very often, but I'm pretty sure it's a different sounding chime, and I think it's 3 successive chimes in a row. I'm hoping it's the speed limit warning...

Hi everyone, just yesterday this started happening randomly on my way home. It's a chime that goes off with absolutely no on- screen warnings or notifications. When I go into the notifications menu, it even says "no active alarms". I don't remember hearing this particular chime before, so I'm...

Thanks guys for the input and info.:) It's funny how much more tech this car has (by far) than any other car I've ever owned, and I've had some pretty expensive luxury cars...so I should just be happy, but these are pretty important safety features IMO. Why even have "blind spot monitor" as...
