    Used 2016 Model S P90D vs New Model Y (AWD Long Range)

    I started out in a used Model S then went to a new Model 3. My recommendation is to go with the new car IF you are someone who enjoys the latest tech. I loved my Model S but it didn't have any sensors at all (not even parking sensors) and watching all those updates roll out that I couldn't use...

    Blog Tesla Software Update Includes New Autopilot Features

    That's a great analogy. I'm not certain this is a bad thing though. Tela is literally training an AI to drive. It's got to go through steps to gradually learn.

    Changed Order from 3P+ to SR+, Am I Crazy?

    I bought the red brake caliper covers for my P3D- and absolutely love the way they look. I think they were $220 out the door. Super easy to install.

    Interior cleaning wipes

    Same here. I have a pack of baby wipes in the center console which I used for the seats. To clean the vinyl parts I use detail spray and a microfiber cloth. Adams VRT is great for a finishing touch. Adds some shine, a bit of water resistance, and SPF protection from the sun. It's super long...

    Ceramic Coating paint

    This might seem counterintuitive, but I'm of the opinion that $400 is too low. Before we go any further please know I'm no detailer, I just did a lot of research and talked with a few people who are detailers for a living before I had ceramic coating done on my car. Here's why I think $400 is...

    Talk me out of turbines!

    I'd say it depends on how willing you are to swap the wheels out each season, and if you're okay with tires that are going to wear out very quickly. Now, the caveat for me was I had a P85+ with the staggered tires, so I wasn't able to rotate the tires except for swapping sides. My rear tires...

    Is there a an easy, quality solution for a quick swap of the speakers?

    So - I came back to this post specifically to call out a mistake I made. When I wrote my initial impression, the quality of my source audio wasn't that great; I think some of the streaming music built into our cars might be at a low bitrate. I turned on immersive sound and used a...

    This dude is the KenM of the TMC forums! There's no way he believes everything he's saying.

    Is there a an easy, quality solution for a quick swap of the speakers?

    My 2013 Model S had the premium sound system and it was so much better than the Model 3 premium audio that I was convinced the car had the stereo of the Standard Range variety. There's far less treble in the Model 3 system.

    Are these tweeters? Cuz mine aren't tweeting

    They sure do! Thanks for pointing that out. Guess I'll update that service ticket I submitted to Tesla!

    Are these tweeters? Cuz mine aren't tweeting

    I have the P3D- and believe that comes with the premium stereo. The stereo doesn't sound that hot to me; it's especially lacking in treble. Are these things tweeters and if they are, should they be doing their thing given the Model 3 configuration I ordered?

    Granted 5,000 supercharging miles from referral - revoked due to "error"

    I'm in Ohio and used the referral code of a friend also in Ohio. He got the 1000 miles added to his account and I did not. Wouldn't be surprised if they yanked his from his account some day too. What are you gonna do... ‍♂️ I won't sweat the small stuff. The car is awesome!

    Can I have the rearview camera up and see Nav at the same time?

    My Model S was able to display Navigation and the rearview camera on the center screen at the same time. On the Model 3, it seems once the rearview camera is up on the screen it takes the focus off any other apps. Is it possible to split the screen so I can see both the navigation and the...

    Cleveland: Model S 19" winter wheel and tire set

    Great call! My P85+ had the upgraded tire pressure system which displayed the PSI of each tire. Based on that I have to believe these would be Gen 2 TPMS sensors, right? Edit: I would really prefer to sell these locally so a buyer can inspect then in person, and shipping has to be an arm and...

    Cleveland: Model S 19" winter wheel and tire set

    Used 19" Model S wheels with genuine Tesla TPMS sensors. Some scuffing/pitting, see photos. I used these as my winter set and the tires have 3,500 miles on them. See photos for tread depth. Tires are Nokian Hakkepelita R3 and were purchased last year. Dogs in photo are not included. ;-) $500...

    How Can I Politely Decline Speaking To Strangers About My Car?

    Never stop moving, keep walking away. Pair that with a short "I'm sorry, I'm late and can't talk. The car is awesome. Have a great day!" all while steadily walking away.

    Petition to demand "camera on top, media player on bottom" be retained in UI

    Good call. Thanks for the suggestion. So far I've tweeted Elon and Tesla, emailed support as suggested earlier in this thread, and created an executive review submission on tesla.com. Fingers crossed!

    The new Workplace Charging initiative

    Thanks for the reply! This article says Tesla will install the chargers too. I wonder what that means; will they just have an electrician make the final connection or does this include the work necessary to run 240 lines to the location of the charger? Tesla Is Sending Out Free Electric...

    Supercharger - Strongsville, Ohio

    Here's what they said: February 8 at 8:52pm Tesla crew was out at Strongsville SuperCharger today. They had a test car charging, but said it wasn't open to the public yet. They volunteered that it should be ready in a day or two!

    Range anxiety after almost 5 yrs??

    I didn't see much discussion of the Energy screen in this thread. I think we all agree that the battery icon in the bottom left corner of the dashboard is a bit of a fibber at times. I'm curious if most find the energy screen to be truthful?
