    Another "Tesla killer" fading already?

    That's a good and fair comparison for both electric cars. I bought my Tesla Model 3 (FirstGen) mainly because, at the time, it has the most range, speed, and availability of chargers. Hopefully, other EV car manufacturers should concentrate more on how to increase the range of their car, the...

    MASTER THREAD: Tesla Insurance Services in California

    Here's what the DMV says about reporting a vehicle accident. Traffic Accident Report SR 1 "In most cases, you will not need a police report to file a claim with your insurer unless there is extensive damage that you'd like to be compensated for, or something unusual happens, such as a crime...

    What battery percentage to charge to on trips?

    As a precaution to any charging-relate problem on the road, I always set my charge to 100% when we travel beginning from our home. I could always stop charging at 85%-90% whenever the remaining charge time trickles down than to add more time in the middle of a meal or shopping as an example. And...

    Sentry Catches Burglary of ANOTHER Car

    SF is one of those cities extremely lenient with criminals but a huge supporter of gun control. In short, it's a sanctuary for criminals. Go SF!

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    If your only concern is for Tesla to go belly-up, don't buy their product. Tesla is just like any business. Some succeed, some don't. No one really knows what is going to happen in the future or even tomorrow. As for its cars, it may be expensive than the average price of some cars but not so...

    Sentry Mode catches door dinger and saves me $1000.

    Bravo! I’m glad the cops with the help of Sentry Mode caught the criminal. I had a visible small dent at the passenger side door because of someone like that stupid person. It happened before Sentry Mode. I hope Tesla will now include the backup camera in the Sentry Mode.

    Autopilot goof. Good thing I was paying attention :)

    I believe it's a combination of a long break in the highway lane line and the shadow on the road. Good job!

    Model 3 Accident, Is this car really safe to drive?

    Correction, I own a Lexus. There is no Lexus Model LS350. It's probably ES350 or IS350. Please double check your source of info. Thank you.

    Lost 50% range on my battery

    The 47% charge left on a battery is for your phone and not the car battery.

    Model 3 Key Fob is here: $150

    I'm not buying the FOB because I believe Tesla will eventually figure out a fix to the problem using mobile phones to access TM3. Having my phone out of my pocket to open my car is a much better alternative than carrying another gadget for the same purpose.

    Take good notes of time, date, etc. of the incident and most especially all contact with your insurance carrier.

    Exterior Paint Coating

    I read in one of the Tesla M3 blogs that only 1-coat of paint is applied to a standard black color for Tesla M3 but 6-7 coats of paint on other colors. Is it true? I planned on ordering just the standard black instead of spending another $1000 for another color. But it may be worth it if there...

    Why Tesla Will Fail

    I've been harping this for a very long time. Confusion, question and other problems between a customer and a company could easily be solved or cleared by having not only by phone but most importantly a direct email address provided by the company to a customer. The phone alone does not work...

    Paint quality question

    Someone said that there is only one coat of black paint on a Tesla Model 3 but there are 6-7 coats if I picked the other color. Os it true? I don't want to pay another $1,000 for a paint color other than the standard black but I may have to and maybe worth it if Tesla paint multilayer of coats...
