Was this oem Tesla part swapped at a service center or after market?

mind blown

I can relate

Yeah exactly. I think you're right that Tesla should offer some performance parts like sway bars, better suspension, different wheels, etc. I'm hoping as the car evolves, features get unlocked. Its already unbelievable that initially the Performance was rate 3.5 seconds from 0-60 and they shaved...

Visually the Performance has the spoiler, bigger brakes, and bigger wheels. To me, the 20" wheels suits the Model 3 much better than the 19s and closes the wheel gap a bit (although I really do think all Model 3s need a drop to be proportional). Functionally, It’s noticeable in the initial...

Awesome!!!! Really excited for you. You’ll be blown away how much fun it is to drive. FWIW I’ve always thought the Tesla red multi coat paint is one of the nicest red colored cars out there

Yeah there wasn't any mention of it being discontinued on the Tesla website so I expected it to be included.

I think that's partially the magic of BM is the economical price and how it feels on the paint (or the PPF). It has a different feel than other sealants and sprays. For context, after every wash, I use BM as a drying aid, and its really just a couple of spritz per panel and a wipe. Its so fast...

I actually did the same trade-in. I owned a LR AWD for about 6 months and every day I kept dreaming of the M3P+. I finally bit the bullet and traded in my LR AWD (similar setup to the OP's: Pearl White but with 19s) and haven't regretted getting the Performance. I could see first hand that...

This makes me super sad that Homelink isn't standard and I was super confused when I traded in a 100xxx VIN with Homelink installed to a 408xxx VIN. I seriously was looking for the Homelink button for 30 minutes and scheduled an SC visit until I checked the forums...

Hi @Oreo100 I had all these issues and they were all fixable: The bubbles in the seals are super common. The SC was able to fix this for me in 15mins The SC was also able to align the headlights better. This is super common on all Model 3s, I think its the way the body panels are molded. The...

Not sure if many of you follow Pan the Organizer or use any of the Rag Company's stuff, but he has a pretty fun response to trying it for the first time:

Yes completely. I have full PPF and use beadmaker as a topper and works great. Has been my favorite spray sealant so far (and I have tried a variety of gloss enhancers, sealants and Sio2 sprays).

Do you have one to sell?

That's a bummer! I'd still like the Tesla factory one. All the aftermarket one's don't look as refined as the one in the marketing photos.

Does anyone have a Performance Model 3 with the performance package rear spoiler they'd like to sell me

That's good to know that there's documented vehicles and not isolated to just a few of us. Hoping Tesla fixes this at the factory level to avoid others going through this same issue!

Definitely pull some logs, and see if they find anything and to take precaution (because this happened to me twice). My SC did tell me my steering column shorted so it may be a similar issue.

I brought the M3 to one of the SCs close by my home and they acknowledged that the steering wheel is not aligned, however they did not do any service to the car because they said it was too "new" with only about 250 miles the car. The advisor recommended me to drive the car for another 1000...

Sounds like a similar issue I had and thankfully your car got back up and running! Let us know what the SC says. It sounds like a similar issue that happened to a small number of us. Interestingly I've only heard this happening more so on the MX than the MS.

I just received delivery of my M3 and have been driving it for a couple of days and noticed that the steering wheel is off-center, meaning if the steering wheel is "straight" the car will pull left. So in essence, I'm driving with the steering wheel pointed slightly right in order to drive...

hi all, sorry been away on travel the past few months for work and holiday. The SC ended up replacing the steering column for me twice, since this happened to me twice, once on Lawrence Expressway and once in a parking after the initial fix a few months after. So could be faulty steering...

I got news from the SC today that they are replacing the Steering Column again. I haven't heard much else from the tech advisor, but will report back what else was repaired. I'm growing concerned that if its the same repair, the same error could come up again.

Sounds really similar to my situation. Did the SC end up replacing or repairing anything?

This sounds similar to what happened to me, and the same amount of days to get my car back (got it back in time for the road trip). I think my service days were somewhere around 7 days total, most of it was testing with Tesla engineers that came to diagnose. My service appointment for my second...

Just a quick update. This error happened to me again on July 1, 2018. Attaching a photo of the error screen. This time, luckily, I was in a parking lot. I went to go pick up some food and walked back to my car to put it into reverse and the errors came back up. The dashboard read "Car Needs...

Forgot to mention, with a full body PPF, you no longer have to worry about car washes. With my other cars without PPF, I often have to do a 2 bucket wash with grit guards and incredipad microfiber pads just for the body, and a separate bucket and mitt for the wheels alone. With my MX in a...

Congrats on the delivery! FWIW, I never regretted getting the car wrapped, even at the hefty price tag :)

Does anyone know if the Model S/X will get the Model 3 version of the non-skeuomorphic UI? I sat in my friends Model 3 and like the general look of the UI in comparison to my MX skeuomorphic UI. What do you guys think and prefer?

100% agree with this. Chips come in all angles, not just the front. Also, with the back bumper wrapped, I no longer worry about shopping cart dings, and also don't worry about scratching the bumper putting things into the rear trunk. FWIW, a car hit the side of my driver side door, and luckily...

+1 on the No Rinse. To get a better shine with a quick detail (via rinse less wash), and since you are getting Opticoat Pro, I would use Opti Seal right after the wash. It'll last longer than the "wax" you get in the Optimum Wash and Wax and will shine better longer, will help repel dirt and...

Every time I get an autopilot update, i immediately test it. Mainly because I like to see the improvements of AP2 over the year, but partially to see if I can use it safely when I road trip with the family and know its limitations

Hi @buddytheyorkie and welcome to TMC! Short answer is yes. I have 2 kids under the age of 3 and have 2 rear facing seats in the second row in our 6 seater 2017 MX. The car seats we use are 2 Nuna Ravas in the 2nd row. My parents and sometimes my wife sit in the 3rd row and access it by using...

We have 2 cars in the garage and the Model X is parked in at an angle. We use the Summon feature a few times a week to get the car outside of the garage to have clearance to open up the falcon wing doors to get the kids in and out.

Haha, I realized that. Oops!

I've texted the SC a couple of times last week and didn't get an update until my car was ready. Picked up the car today and a technician took me through the car. The issue was my steering column was at fault, so they've replaced it. The SC ended up bringing in engineers from Tesla to help...

True! In hindsight, that's what I should've done.

At that point, I did feel safe, and didn't see a need to. I wanted to keep the warnings on dash for Tesla to diagnose once I got to the Service Center.

Thanks, and yes totally. The cars around me were traveling pretty fast, and people from Silicon Valley who know Lawrence Expressway knows the how fast people drive on it. It is a hazard to be stopped when the light is green which was my main safety concern. Luckily CHP came out to direct traffic...

Yes and no, I've been on and off this forum for some time. Since then I've had minor issues with the window regulator, the driver's side window hitting the B pillar when closing, FWD issues, the captain chairs in the second row buttons weren't working a couple of times, etc. but didn't post...

@P85_DA 2017 @mxnym It wasn’t a brake problem, my brakes were operating fine. The car would not put itself into gear when in parked so i couldn’t put it into Neutral or Drive to get out of the middle lane. The safety concern for me was that I wasn’t able to move out of a dangerous spot...

Thanks I’m hoping it’s just an isolated issue. Something I’d hate for someone else to be in. I just filed the NHTSA complaint per another member’s suggestion (first time I’ve ever done this), and would need to look into the lemon law. Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks @Discoducky . Its comforting to hear that from you. I'm hoping this is the first and last (only-time) that this happens. Crossing fingers for the 60 miles mark!

Really great advice going forward for me. I knew going in that Consumer Reports rated the Model X not high in their reliability testing, but hoped for the best because the Tesla salesman assured me that a lot of problems are addressed weekly, and re-engineered and designed in the weekly...

Here are some photos of the main screen showing the warnings

So I was driving home today in my Model X on Lawrence Expressway in Santa Clara, CA and stopped at the red light. When the light turned green, I pushed on the gas and noticed that the car did not move and put itself into park and threw up a bunch of warnings on the dash and on the main screen...

Bummer! It really rattled me and put me in an unsafe driving situation while I was trying to trouble shoot the problem while on the freeway. I hope you were in a much safer scenario than I was!

Thanks @NikeWings–super helpful to know that I can turn off the NAV sounds through the carrot icon. I completely forgot about that feature and didn't try it. I'll keep that in mind for next time!

I have it on night mode permanently. The problem is in the sound with turn by turn directions. The voice started to stutter and wouldn't go away (like it was on a broken record). You can hear it over my toddler's cough in the background.

I was driving my family to the airport today with the navigation on, when halfway through the route, it started to freak out. I had my sister-in-law take a quick video of what happened. Cancelling the navigation, turning on streaming music, turning on music from my iPhone didn't help. Did a...
