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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

So I've had my M3 for nearly 3 months now, and I'm still finding little easter eggs. I've discovered and/or read about a few of them, like how the little steering wheel icon turns whenever the car turns while AP is engaged. This is one that I haven't read about though - today I noticed on the...

I just compared the release notes and there seems to be no difference for the model 3...?? Is the only difference the range increase for the model Y? Why are we getting this update..... :confused:

Numbered to avoid repeats... 1. Hold the fan icon to turn off HVAC. 2. Swipe 'Navigate' button down or to the side: if you're at home, directions to work. If you're anywhere else, it takes you home. 3. Tap the battery to open the charging page. 4. With the music tray open, tap the album art...

I've checked around in the forum and on the interwebs, and amazingly this doesn't seem to be a "feature" yet...??? Why in the world is there not a shortcut to control fan speed (left/right swipe) while holding the fan icon? Yes, the long-hold to turn off climate altogether is handy, but they...

So I'm sitting here supercharging, and about 20 minutes into the session I started to hear some pretty loud churning type noises and I could have sworn I felt some electricity going through my body! lol Maybe I'm going crazy, but the entire car starting slightly vibrating, including the...

I'm a fairly new owner, so I've started to really test out the autopilot the past week or so. I don't have FSD, just AP. At first I was terrified during sharp bends in the road, but it handles it so damn well...no jerky steering or anything, so far. I'm impressed, and I'm wondering of course...

So over the past few nights I've been adjusting my headlights (still) just trying to perfect the height, but I noticed that they don't adjust left and right. I had never tried previously. Is this just a feature in UK/Europe?? Or maybe it's newer models only? I have a 2018 LR AWD, mfg 11/18...

Does anyone know what Tesla charges for the 2 yr/25k service? Not sure if it varies by region (I'm in NY). The tech doesn't seem to want to answer me. I read somewhere it's $450, which isn't bad at all if it included things that were actually important/necessary. I had a Maserati a few years...

So my premium connectivity just ended the other day, and I don't think I'll subscribe because I don't really care about satellite nav or live traffic, which seem to be the only two things that require premium... Setting up a WiFi hotspot from my phone takes care of music streaming, which is...

So earlier tonight I decided to try to adjust the headlights. I was just going to adjust them down a few ticks because I've been getting flashed a lot. Well, unbeknownst to me, when you hit the adjust headlights button, it auto levels every time (based on who the hell knows what??) ! I wish...

I've been dealing with this since I got the car, I just keep forgetting to make a post about it. I didn't find any similar posts through search, so I'm not sure if anyone else is having the same issue. On quite a few occasions, with my low beams on (at night of course), I've been getting...

So this morning was my first time juicing up at a supercharger. Per Tesla's website, the location is capable of "up to 150kW". There were 4 stalls and no one else was there. It took 20 minutes to charge only 42 miles. The display showed 50kW and didn't really go any higher... I read this...

I noticed yesterday that while navigating to a destination the view switches to 3D, but while no destination is set, it's stuck in 2D. I can't find any such option in the navigation section of the UI... I'd like to have it set to always be in 3D view. Does anyone know of a way to do that??

I'm wondering how frequently Tesla updates the app with new features? I just got the car last Monday so I'm wondering. While I think it's nearly perfect, there are a few things I'd like to see added. I'm on Android. 1. Under the persistent notification which currently shows lock, front...

Ok, I'm really sorry in advance for this long-winded drivel! So I've had the car for only about a full week, basically starting out with boost, then getting a refund, then getting it back a few days later...and I can't even remember the difference anymore. :( This just leads me back to wanting...

I'm hoping someone can make me feel better...I don't know why I did this to myself, but I went back in the Tesla used inventory page, and this time I selected a different area code (the pre-populated one), and I see a white 2020 LR AWD (the color I initially wanted), with 3,000 miles AND 19"...

I know there are countless threads about the boost upgrade, but I just want to focus specifically on why everyone thinks they haven't given us 3 acceleration options (chill, standard, sport)?? I've posted my story in other threads, but the TL;DR version is I basically bought the boost way too...

I have read that for ICE cars, changing just one or even two tires at a time (if they're just different brands, but the same exact size) could seriously mess with the car - alignment, transfer case, etc... There is quite the debate online about whether or not it's ok to do it (for ICE cars). I...

I tried to search for this, but didn't really find anything. I basically would like to know how much is too much when it comes to jamming the accelerator?? I picked up my M3 on Monday and immediately bought the boost. I haven't really driven all that much, but whenever I have driven it I'm...

Hey everyone, I figured I'd ask this question and make a poll since I couldn't find any input while searching the forum. I'm trying to make up my mind on whether or not to remove the aero wheel covers. I actually like them, but they really do have a funky look. I also think it's cool that...

Sorry guys, newbie here...is the roof supposed to be a yellowish orange color? It's overcast here and pouring, so not sure if that has something to do with it, but it's so odd...yesterday when I picked up the car the roof was definitely more of a tinted grey color. Maybe it's from...

So I just picked up my M3 earlier today, and the rep going over the car with me told me to not ever charge it to 100% unless I was going on a long trip? What capacity are you guys charging up to overnight?

Does anyone know where I can find a moderately priced matte carbon fiber trim for the dash? I don't want a wrap - I'm looking for the trim piece(s) that sticks on directly. I prefer real carbon fiber, but I would be ok with a realistic looking faux. The most important thing to me is that it...

I just sat at my local credit union literally one step away from signing the final forms and minutes away from them cutting me a check, but for some idiotic reason Tesla sent the credit union a title for the vehicle with the original owner's name and a lien still very clearly on the title. Wtf...

Hey everyone, I've searched around for this, but I'm seeing wildly different answers, so I figured I'd post it up here for hopefully some first hand information. I'm in the process of selling my house, and I've just ordered my model 3. So, I basically don't want to spend a few thousand for the...

Hi everyone, I'm very interested in buying a used 2018/19 M3, but I'm just struggling with choosing between the Tesla and other sports sedans within the same price range, such as 2017 Audi S6, 2018/19 Jaguar XF, and a few others. My 3 year lease is ending in Feb, so I have some time to make a...

So I called the local Tesla store inquiring about where their lease application is. I've learned that apparently there is NO option to submit an application unless I blindly plop down a $100 **NON-REFUNDABLE** deposit to "place an order" first! I asked the agent, "So basically I have to gamble...

Ok, I know this has been beaten to death, but I just can't help myself. In the new interior spy shot taken from the driver's side window seen here on electrek, it seems pretty clear that there is more than enough room/space to lower the display a little and embed it flush into the dash. All I...

I know the sample size isn't that huge, I'm just trying to get an idea. :)

I read somewhere on the forum that if you have a reservation but want to wait for the AWD/performance model, that you can defer and keep your place in line, but I think that was just speculation because I see nothing on Tesla's site to corroborate that. Elon mentioned if you reserve right now...

Is there a possibility there will be any sort of lease specials for the 3 after it's been released for a while? I'm guestimating when/if I do get it, it'll be around $50-$55k. I'm in no huge rush... I have to have AWD. Earlier this year I leased a loaded Murano platinum for the wife, msrp...

I reserved fairly early on 3/31, and I'm wondering... does anyone know how long we have to configure/purchase after the model 3 actually becomes available for order?? Can we hold our reservation for any amount of time?

Can any Model S/X owners that have traded in their previous vehicle please chime in? :) When the time comes for configuration, and I've picked all my options/color/etc...will they ask for a full payment at that point? How will that even work with my trade-in? I assume I will first have to...

The similarity to one particular mock up of the Model 3's front end (photoshopped) and the Model S's confirmed new front end is uncanny! I think there's a VERY high chance this will, in fact, be the finalized front end for the model 3...at the very least for purposes of consistency amongst...

Sorry if this has been posted already - I did a search and couldn't find a thread. I thought for sure someone would have posted this... I've gotten my RN from my Tesla account, and it's a nine digit number, so clearly it doesn't depict my place in line. I'm just wondering if there's been any...

Hi everyone, New to the forum... I'm trying to figure out how to like/love/etc a post. I don't see any "buttons" on any of the threads. I'm probably just overlooking something... TIA!
