Thank you Morpheus84! I just tried this on my 2018 Model 3 and it was still disabled. No wonder I've never been satisfied with its performance! :) I was behind another 3 in the snow last weekend and my rear window wasn't clearing and theirs was nicely melted away. That caught my attention...

Out of curiosity, do these have a larger ID than the OEM 18" wheels, or is it a different offset that allows these to fit over the performance brakes?

This station shows as temporarily closed on the Tesla nav. I hope it's open again soon!

To attach the safety chains you would probably benefit from hooking “quick links” to the hitch first. That’s what I do on my 3. 5⁄8" Rapid Link, Safety Chain Extender | GEN-Y Hitch

This is a great post! Thanks! I have done similar testing as well and found that my large ski box dropped the range by 25-30%. I've now changed to using the hitch I make to mount skis on a rack like in this photo of the model X. No range testing yet but it's got to be better than the box...

It's awesome that Tesla has made this update to include the 2 rearward facing side cameras, but seeing the clips posted side by side here just makes me want the 2 forward facing and the rear camera! :D I was involved in a hit and run accident from behind last fall and I'm just thinking of if...

That's pretty funny. In my case, I had recently activated the TM3 dashcam and it captured the car's plate when they drove past me. Gave the footage to the police and insurance company, and searched online databases for a match, but no luck...

I make a hitch for the TM3 that uses Tesla's X receiver. Some pictures: Tow hitch bike rack? I prefer the removable hitch receiver that Tesla sells for the Model X to the Ecohitch, even though the X receiver isn't rated for as much load on a bike rack. I've carried four lightweight road bikes...

The hitch is dented and pushed into the sheet metal of the trunk, denting that. F'ing hit and run. :mad: Fortunately I had new hitch on-hand and that went on easily.

I'm loving having a hitch on my TM3 as I hate regularly putting bike(s) inside the car. And it also made a good bumper reinforcement when I got rear ended recently and the other car's bumper hit me down low.

Yes, I make one that uses the Model X removable receiver as I prefer that to the Ecolift receiver installation. About the same price as the Ecohitch. PM me for details.

I just bought SeaSucker’s Monkey Bars for my 3, and then found this thread! I like these bars, but so far have just driven with them with now cargo (as a test). Wind noise is bad from these round bars. Also, I realized that they’re not secure and in two seconds a pair of people could remove...

It's hard for me to imagine any car that gets to 60 mph in ~5 sec or less as being sluggish off the line, but perhaps the traction control is indeed impeding progress at first with the stock 18" tires and RWD?

I rented a RWD twice for 3 days total, and I have no recollection of it being sluggish off the line... It was faster than my LEAF! :D

I found this thread looking to see if anyone had received their standard AWD yet; I'm eager to hear their impressions! My details: former employee, non-owner 3/16/16 Reservation 5/20 Config AWD - Red - PUP - 18” wheels - EAP My delivery was initially set for yesterday, but had to be pushed to...

I've never heard of these! I wonder how many cars out there have them. I'm glad the car protected you and your family well!

For those folks who've had this option opened up for them at this time.

I ordered AWD last night. I too had difficulty putting my credit card number in on my PC using the Chrome browser, so I switched to my iphone and was able to finish the order successfully. Good luck!

I believe that the full credit applies to the quarter that the 200k car is sold, plus one more, then 2Q for 50%, then 2Q for 25%. So Q4 2018 depends on June vs. July...

A lot depends on if Tesla sells that 200k car in June or not. Even the smartest amongst us can only speculate on that... If you choose to change to AWD you may get bumped back in the queue as there seems to be staggered configuration going on for that option.

That's good to here! Here's the direct link to their product for the S.

I could see that being the case in an autocross, however I've found the Spark EV nannies to be a non-issue on the track (Laguna Seca).

I really appreciated the ride quality in the prototype car. Not harsh at all (on the roads we were on) and really flat, controlled handling. I did not get the chance to compare to stock back-to-back though. (and almost put my LEAF into the guardrail afterwards thinking it handled like a 3!)...

Of course, that's when the rain is forecast to get started... :(

How are these Pirelli tires on the street? Much effect on range?

From the linked article, more clarity:

This has been a very informative read! Thanks ohmman! For those of you using this Bosal hitch for bike racks, have you ever carried more than the "max 2 bikes"? If so, have you noticed any issues? I'm considering loading up a 4-bike rack with weight to simulate 4 bikes, and driving around in...

This is music to my ears! I got to drive this road in a 911 recently, and I'll have to make a trip down there in my 3 to try it again when I get it!

This discussion is in regards to the 2018 LEAF which has much stronger regen, and one-pedal driving all the way to a stop. One thing to keep in mind regarding the low speed regen in these cars, is that the LEAF and Bolt EV both use blended braking, whereas the Tesla cars don't. At low speed...

What safety warnings are you referring to? The lack of a manufacturer's tow rating on a vehicle does not equal a safety warning.

Of course, there's always somebody...

Thx for pointing out the typo in my link. Fixed here: http://tinyurl.com/QRHitch

Hi folks, new member here. This has been a fun thread to read! It's amazingly consistent with all of the comments that that I saw when the Nissan LEAF first came out, and likely the Model S (but I didn't read those). I started making hitches as a hobby for the LEAF in 2011 after I made one for...
