    Advice on my near future purchase

    If you really don't care about the extra speed, the Standard Range + will be fine for your needs and is not slow by any means. White seats are actually more comfortable (slightly softer) and don't really seem to stain in my experience.

    Where do you keep your car registration?

    After having had my glovebox replaced 2x for failing to open, I keep my registration in the center console now. Can’t imagine it would go over well if you got pulled over and told the cop you couldn’t open the glove box!

    Glovebox Won’t Open

    I've had my glovebox replaced twice and adjusted one other time due to this issue. Luckily this is something a ranger can fix so if they are available in your area you won't need to take it in. Related: I don't keep my registration in the glovebox anymore

    Tips for CarPro UK 3.0 Ceramic Coating?

    I've done UK 3.0 on 2 different model 3's, its pretty hard to mess up, it flashes pretty quickly, but be careful, if you are sloppy you will get streaks in areas you miss. Be careful not to get it on the glass because it will streak and is very difficult to remove. I learned from my mistakes and...

    WTF Alignment Estimate from Tesla

    I recently got an error about the 12v battery needing to be replaced so I made an appointment with the Santa Ana service center. They are replacing the battery under warranty and quoted me $156 to do an alignment.

    MICHELIN® Primacy™ MXM4 Holding up pretty good

    Primacys were 236wh/mi lifetime when they were replaced. Since switching to PS4S, averaging about 270wh/mi. Aeros with covers off. To be fair, i replaced the tires at the beginning of quarantine, so most of the driving on the PS4S has been at higher speeds.

    MICHELIN® Primacy™ MXM4 Holding up pretty good

    All 4 of mine were below the wear bars at 20k miles and had to be replaced (LR RWD). Rotated 2 or 3 times.

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    Check out this link, will explain it better than I can. There are probably better resources out there, but this will give you a basic idea.

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    The hubcentric rings are on the inside. If there is a gap between the center of the wheel and the hub the result can be vibration at various speeds which seems to be your issue. The wheels do look good! Hopefully you figure out the vibration.

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    Did the wheels require hubcentric rings? Sounds like they may not be the right size or missing. Have you noticed any improvements to your economy/acceleration with the new wheels?

    New Model 3 Owner. FSD worth it or not?

    Based on what you currently get with FSD over AP and the fact it’s $7k, the answer is F NO. Chances are the price will be lowered in the future. NOA/summon are NOT worth the extra coin currently and this is coming from an early adopter of FSD.

    Model 3 LR RWD Range Shown at 100% Charge?

    I’ve got a May 2018 build LR RWD and was regularly charging to 70% and only using 10-15% each day. My 100% got down to 287 before i scheduled a service appt with Tesla. They ended up telling me I had a calibration issue and there was a firmware bug (firmware prior to 16.2) and I should start...

    Can owners that purchased $2K AP confirm if Auto Lane Change is included please?

    I've found the current iteration of ALC to be glitchy, slow and unreliable at best on So Cal freeways. You guys with basic AP really aren't missing out here.

    298 miles is my new 100% (LR RWD)

    I charge to 70% each day, I usually display battery % rather than miles but previously I would have around 217 on a 70% charge compared to 202-203 now. Currently have 8200 miles on LR RWD.

    Why I feel less angry about the lower EAP + FSD price after thinking this out

    I may be in the minority here, but I'm happy to be able to upgrade to FSD for less than my original order price ($3,000) let alone my after delivery price ($4,000) considering there appears to now be something beyond vaporware on the horizon.

    So... Looks like FSD features are here!

    Only got autopark to work once in 9 months of ownership. The circled P shows up quite a bit while in traffic or at stop lights though!

    Stock tires wearing faster than expected?

    Rotated tires recently on my RWD, the fronts look practically new compared to the rears which are almost at the wear bars after 7,000 miles. Heavy foot and I try to make regen do most of the work stopping. Stock 18 Michelins.

    Is Autopilot as awesome for you as it is for me?

    It really is a game changer if you drive in heavy traffic every day. It's also a little safer when you get stuck behind assholes with ALL their brake lights out.

    V9 audio glitches

    Mine has been doing this since I installed v9. Only happens on the phone's BT connection. Never did that on any of the previous versions. Occasionally get static in the Streaming app like Alketi mentioned, but that's been a thing since day 1.

    Who still doesnt have Summon?

    Check it again now. The behavior is the same with the newer firmware, the car doesn’t always wake up to cool the cabin, but will usually cool it once it’s been woken up.

    Who still doesnt have Summon?

    FYI, cabin overheat protection is enabled by default in 21.9. Newer firmware just gives you the ability to turn it off or run without the AC compressor.

    Glovebox won't open

    Believe me I tried everything, nothing worked. It barely took any force at all once I started to apply prying pressure. If my registration wasn’t in there maybe I would have waited until my service appointment. Didn’t want to risk getting pulled over and trying to explain to a cop that my...

    Glovebox won't open

    This has happened to me a couple of times. I think the stuff I had in the glove box was getting stuck in the locking mechanism. I moved things around, took some things out and its been ok.

    Unlock 3 with Apple Watch?

    I use an app called EV Watch. I mostly use it to precondition the cabin and occasionally unlock the doors while in the garage if I don’t have my phone. It also allows you to use the watch crown to set the charge limit in 1% increments. I haven’t noticed any vampire drain like other 3rd party...

    I was able to get it to open. I wedged a PPF application squeegee into the left edge of the glove box and applied light prying pressure as i pressed the button.

    Right. Tesla typically offers home delivery to those folks who are far away from delivery centers, hence the delivery on the truck. The Tesla Direct program is for folks within the normal delivery range. Car is delivered at your local delivery center and driven to your house. I'm about 20 miles...
