I think the team behind the S3XY Buttons are working on replacement stalks.

The Model S signals worked flawlessly because they're Mercedes parts. I've personally never had an issue with my Model 3 but I've seen a lot of complaints. Maybe I'm not aggressive enough moving the stalk to get it to fail this way?

Sounds like whatever provider Tesla is using for the traffic data is experiencing an outage?

Battery degradation is a product of three things: State of Charge (SoC), temperature and time. In the graphs from the post below, the LFP degradation worsens at 70% charge or higher, compared to 55% for NCA and 60% for NMC. So leaving an LFP car charged to higher than 70% for a length of time...

Pre-curbed, nice. :)

Holy cr@p, that's less than $1 a month.

It is quite possible that is the case and that 2.9 is rounded down from 2.94 but 3.1 is rounded up from 3.05, making the disparity seem larger. But assuming an exact 2.90000 seconds for 0-60, 2.9 divided by 60 then multiplied by 6.21 gives 3.0015 which I would think would be advertised as 3.0...

0-60 MPH in 2.9s is not the same as 0-100 km/hr (62.1 MPH) in 3.1s. At 2.9s 0-60, you're accelerating by 1 MPH every 0.04833 seconds. At 3.1s 0-62.1, you're accelerating by 1 MPH every 0.04992 seconds, roughly 3.28% slower, which seems to match up with the LG vs Panasonic battery differences...

Tesla proudly trumpets 9.23s @155mph quarter mile times for the Model S Plaid. There's a reason they're being silent about the new M3P's quarter-mile times and it has to be one of two things. Either the M3P is too good for roughly half the price of a Model S Plaid and would cannibalize its...

You're probably better off doing this, I suspect Tesla is going to lowball current M3P owners.

I'll keep my current M3P. Just not "enough" to compel me to upgrade.

FWIW, 2024-04-20 00:00 UTC is 2024-04-19 20:00 EDT and 2024-04-19 17:00 PDT (still Friday), so it could get released on "420" and still not yet be a weekend in the Western Hemisphere.

I thought the original Ludicrous package took the 0-60 from 3.2 down to 2.8. This was a $10K option on the P85D IIRC. I'm thinking it's the slightly sleeker LR model allowing it to start to catch-up at the top end. No drag from a spoiler and lighter, more aerodynamic wheels.

Reminds me of this:

It comes with a plastic sheet that may or may not still be present when you take delivery. I wouldn't classify it as a screen protector, it's mainly to prevent fingerprints.

It can take 20-30 seconds of holding the scroll wheels until the screen blanks. I sure wish Tesla would have programmed it to no more than 5-8 seconds, but I suppose they want to be sure you REALLY want to reboot the touchscreen before doing it.

IMO 2.9 isn't sufficient improvement to justify the financial hit I would take replacing my low mileage 2022 M3P with a new car. I'd rather take the much smaller hit of buying a set Atomic Wheels AWzz and 18" tires, and get some of that back by selling the Uberheavy/Pirelli combo, which still...

The replacement powered struts are too short for one thing. IMO it looks like Tesla purchased a poorly-engineered aftermarket kit and is selling them as though it is of their own design.

If you have an LFP battery (newer RWD cars only), charge to 70%. If you have any other type, charge to 55%. Don’t check the car on the app more than once per week (frequently waking up the car will use more energy) and make sure Sentry mode is not in use and you’ll be fine, 5 weeks won’t use...

Not all-time, but you can swipe back and forth in the app to go back to January 2022 when the Tesla app started tracking it.

The Model 3 charge port door is a huge weakness compared to the original Model S charge port door which was a much simpler design IMO. Edit: it looks like the new S has a similarly dumb design as the 3, so the 3 mechanism must be cheaper than the one originally on the S.

Temu is the work of Satan.

It sucks, but I think everyone involved here is fastened via an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis. From what I understand the plan sold for $2500 max for an out-of-warranty S (but was also discounted to $2000 for a "limited time".) $2000-$2500 isn't an insignificant amount of...

"Track" is too generic a term I suppose. Road Course Mode = extra battery cooling for endurance, more regen to minimize brake fade, stiffer overall suspension (assuming some sort of auto-adjustable suspension like on the S) Oval Mode = even more battery cooling for endurance when drafting, zero...

A lot of them appear to be older ones with chrome trim. I wonder if this is a Tesla used vehicle storage lot?

A few years of training computers to do stuff has nothing on millions of years' worth of evolution of the hairless ape brain.

Yes, it would be nice if the cameras remained in place once they appear until manually dismissed from the screen or a specific forward speed (5 MPH or 8 km/hr maybe) is reached.

AP1 handled much of this better. The MobilEye single-front-camera hardware with radar was better at keeping a consistent gap to the car ahead. (Never available on 3/Y, only earlier S and maybe X.) It was a more limited system than we have currently, but it performed well. Crest a steep hill...

If they make no drivetrain changes and only swap out the rebate-eligible Panasonic pack for a slightly weaker LG non-rebate-eligible pack, they might wind up with those stats.

A two-door hatch or shooting brake body style (and possible rear-seat delete without exposing the electrical innards) would be awesome. Maybe the Model 2 will offer that, but I suppose there won't be a Performance variant.

I suppose the reason they're dropping TACC-only when your car is FSD-enabled is to avoid driver confusion about "which mode" the car is in? While I don't rack up a lot of miles (see signature, I've just hit 5000 miles on a 2022) I use TACC frequently, but Autosteer much less often. (No FSD on...

How old is your 12V?

Google Translate: first peculiarity: during the parking phases, the cameras turn off every time the forward gear is engaged and the direction indicators go off every time you turn: since the Tesla knows exactly that we are entering or exiting a parking lot, it would be nice if in that phase he...

Put it in neutral?

Looks like it will fall on its face after 120 MPH. I need something that pulls all the way to Warp 9.8!

For forum members in Germany, I would guess they'd be the most frequent users of 100+ MPH/160+ km/hr acceleration.

I've owned cars that took more than 15 seconds. The late 1970s and early 1980s were some dark times for ordinary production cars.

This is the way. When was the last time you visited a gas station where the pump was effectively boxed in on three sides? (yes, I know many of you are ICE-free and haven't been to a gas station in 10+ years)

What if this video is just an epic early April Fool troll from Elon and there is no new M3P/L coming - and the car in the video is just an LR with bolt-on upgrade parts that will be available from the Tesla Accessories shop in the future: 20-inch wheels, spoiler, sport seats, diffuser etc. That...

A "foot" isn't really a thing in Europe unless it's attached to your lower leg, and cars don't have legs like horses. :)

Romulan spies have infiltrated Earth, this wreck is proof of the existence of the cloaking device.

I thought the pre-heatpump cars got a SuperBottle and the heatpump cars got an Octovalve. I don't know if that changed with the Highland 3 refresh however.

Yeah I didn't watch the full video either. Car looked like it had the Track Pack (Zero-G) wheels on it, which means performance tires most likely, not intended for mud/snow. I wouldn't do this with my M3P at all.

Make sure all pieces of that left front suspension are being replaced, and pay close attention to the camber spec of that LF wheel after it's been repaired. If it's just "close" but not within spec, that car will eat the inside edge of your LF tire. I've driven some cars in decades past and...

Are there any plans to make the AW03 in an 18x8.5 size with the same specs as the AW01 in 18x8.5? Or will they remain available as 20-inchers only?

At least make the visualization optional. I'd much rather have a split-screen setup similar to the old Model S version 8.x software, where you could have an app on the top half and a second app on the bottom half. (It would have to be a left-right split with the landscape screen of the 3/Y and...

Man that is nasty, but it's inevitable for a DD that sees NY winters. NY roads are paved with salt and many NY cars seem to come from the factory with rust. I've seen cars with holes that otherwise looked like they weren't even 3 years old.

The 3 factory available tire sizes: 235/45R18, 235/40R19, and 235/35R20 are all within 0.5% of each other. 669mm, 671mm, and 673mm in overall diameter respectively. Source: Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets New vs worn tires will change your overall diameter by more than 4mm.

Just saw that I called it a TT030 instead of a TT-30. A TT030 is a computer from the Cretaceous period. A TT-30 is a 120V 30A connection originally used for RVs. Stupid TTypo.

Restart (phone) didn't work but remove/reinstall of the Tesla app worked.
