    Accidentally received FSD

    They will contact you to install HW3, as they would anyone else, as they think you bought it. You should hear from them likely at some time in the near future is confident guess of mine.

    Battery drain while parked or car in storage

    Is there a way to disable Teslafi gathering info from the car except the vehicle is charging or you are driving it?

    P3D+ rear ended - total loss? current repair times?

    I just sent my car into the repair shop 2 weeks ago for getting rear ended as well, not as bad as yours though, and the initial estimate was about 3000$ pre repair shop drop off. After the repair shop had taken the bumper apart to analyze the damage fully, the price soared to 23,000$! So it...

    USB for Sentry Mode and Splitter

    I bought a basic 4 port USB splitter from Walmart, and a 128 GIG Sandisk USB drive and it works perfectly for dash cam and sentry mode. The higher storage will allow plenty of sentry mode footage to store, but I would still recommend cleaning it regularly, once or twice a month. I have another...

    “Standard Range” = 75D? Is a range upgrade coming?

    Ok, i didn't know there was that setting in the menu. I did notice the "ideal" range was selected when returning back to the car. I changed it to "rated" and the range went down to what I was expecting it would be. This setting isn't on the model 3.

    “Standard Range” = 75D? Is a range upgrade coming?

    Ill check shortly when I get back in it. It was showing that in the battery icon on the screen, not on the "energy graphs" where they show different levels of range for how you're driving. Unless I'm unaware, there's no way to change to ideal range rather than EPA rated on the main battery...

    “Standard Range” = 75D? Is a range upgrade coming?

    Yesterday I have just received loaner from Tesla for my model 3, and they gave me a brand new 75D with 40 miles on it(it shows 75D on the outside badging and on the home screen). Surprisingly, I charged to 90% over night and it was at 280 miles, and still finishing up on the charge when I...

    Someone will have to test this during a snow fall, and see if the handles are cleared free of snow.

    Is Model 3 your only car?

    I have a beautiful Model 3, as well as a 2011 Highlander. The Highlander is a great vehicle so will keep it for the space and utility as needed.

    Sound in Reverse?

    How new is your car? This is normal for new/less used brakes. I recently had new brakes put on my other car, and they made noise for some time, I guess as I scrubbed off factory layer on them. If you're in a damp environment, make sure you use the brakes hard every so often, to keep the...

    @stevemc good point on that! Almost forgot watching that video. Hopefully there won't be any issues with that pre heat function when they add that to the app.

    Nomad wireless charger, new or old?

    @eyecubed I am on the fence of getting this product my self, but I don't think the charging operates when the car is off, I heard that it completely shuts off when the car does, regardless of the charge state of the integrated battery.

    Anyone else getting Fobs with late number VIN?

    Can the Tesla app unlock and lock the car when you are manually operating the app? Would be annoying to have to open your phone and app while approaching your car, and then manually tapping "unlock", but maybe that is another way to avoid walking up to the car, and it not responding to sensing...

    glass roof - production change (July 2018)?

    When pricing out a tint job on Model 3, with black rear glass orange top, they said they can only do the rear part of the window and not the top because the tinting is bad on the part that already has the orange coating/tint from the factory. My question is, for those who have the full...

    Tesla Model 3 Moments

    I was in NJ testing driving a RWD model 3 recently, and less than 5 minutes into the drive, as I was approaching a right turn lane, a very new Cadillac CTS cuts me off driving aggressively, to get in front of me, when there was barely any space, but no cars behind me, I had to jam on my brakes...

    Any way to keep high beams on?

    I hope there is a way to manually turn on the high beams, depending only on auto high beams could be problematic at times like OPs situation.

    Anyone that wanted to try and sneak in LR RWD Model 3 before it disappears, were you able to order?

    Ok, just spoke with my local service center, and they confirmed WHAT AZ-3 stated. I had to order LR AWD, and they change it on the back end. So happy to squeeze in that LR RWD order (barely). Another note I don't believe this is inventory it seemed like it was an regular order from Cali.

    Wow, thats some good, thorough information. This sounds like it will be a configuration nightmare as ill be surprised everything goes smooth through all these steps, with paper work and receiving the proper car, but got my fingers crossed! Thanks!

    Anyone that wanted to try and sneak in LR RWD Model 3 before it disappears, were you able to order?

    I was looking to order a LR RWD within 2 weeks from now, and after hearing the news about LR RWD going away, I decided to try and order a Pearl White LR RWD version by calling the local Service Center, since they "should" be available to order for the next few days. When I called they said they...

    Question about PA (Devon) delivery & inspection

    Last new car i bought in Philly a few years ago at Ford, had an inspection sticker that lasted a few years. I look to order a Model 3 in a month or 2, and i'll be picking up at Devon. I didn't hear about them not inspecting cars out of there, that sounds ridiculous to me.

    why satellite radio should have been an option

    XM does have amazing variety and accessibility, but man the sound quality is horrrrible would be a disservice to the model 3 sound system.

    What's more efficient, RWD with 19"wheels, or AWD with 18"wheels?

    I'm looking to get a RWD model 3 with 19"wheels, but thinking of also getting AWD, but really like the I increased efficiency of RWD. Maybe AWD with 18" areos will be a good compromise compared to RWD with 19"?

    Your preferred method of washing your model 3?

    I haven't received my 3 yet, but typically in my current car I go to your everyday car wash couple times a month since I funny have a house to wash it at, and don't think anything of it. With my model 3, I don't plan on that as I hear car washes are bad for your paint. What is the best way to...

    Can anyone with a RWD Model 3 confirm if it so has a faster than listed 0-60 performance?

    With more AWD and P3D performance numbers hopefully coming in soon, and everyone hoping they are higher than quoted numbers, I remember hearing RWD acceleration numbers were cut back couple months ago. I'm ordering soon and finally decided on getting RWD for increased efficiency. So just...

    Does having painted brake calipers require extra maintenance? Will the the wheels have to be constantly taken off to clean the calipers from brake dust, road grime, etc to keep them looking pretty and lovely?

    Let's discuss Dual Motor range

    I would expect there to be maybe a slight reduction in range on the Model 3 Perfomance and perhaps a slight increase in range for the AWD LR 3. But It does seem a litte strange that all versions of the long range 3 are the same exact range stat.

    Wondering if we will have to constantly keep on our bluetooth function on our phones for use for opening out Model 3s. Im assuming so, but was wondering if there is a way it can connect only when we approach the car, without having to leave bluetooth on all the time. I personally don't like...

    Model 3 reveal lacking exciting details b/c they are still trying to anti sell it?

    I think $44K is a great deal for 310 miles, awesome even, just disapointed with lack of details on built in car charger, UI functionality, how HVAC works etc. They kind of acted like we haven't been waiting to hear any of these juicy details.

    Model 3 reveal lacking exciting details b/c they are still trying to anti sell it?

    Confirmed in a live streams, card keys, the size of a credit card, and some quite amazing functionality on the screen. The AC/Heat vents are controlled by moving orbs on the screen with your finger, to adjust movement of air through the vents. There were some pretty amazing showings on some of...

    Anyone worried with a all glass roof in cold weather?

    Thanks for all of the reply's. Great ideas and feedback. Temps where I am don't get below 15 degrees often, so it seems most don't have any major problems when temps are higher than that. It may be less of a worry than I initially thought. Seems as though the benefits will outweigh the...

    Anyone worried with a all glass roof in cold weather?

    I live in Pennsylvania, and my current car has a sun roof. In the winter, cold air oozes from that glass panel with ease, and its only a sunroof section of the roof, not the entire roof. This would worry me that there would be a significant amount of additional energy used in keeping cabin...
