I have 10.5 on my M3. It’s almost unusable. The phantom braking happens about every 30 seconds on two lane roads with side streets. Turns are basically ok. No better than before. Interesting thing. If you use Adaptive Cruise Control; no Phantom braking, but it won’t steer (as expected). If you...

2018 MY LR 99% SS 10/24/21 @ 5am Upgraded to 36.5.2 (had a wonderful, FCW free 45 min door to door FSD) 10/24/21 @ 1pm EST FSD disabled remotely, SW update to 36.5.1 (no FSD). No FSD. No Attitude towards Tesla Love my car and the Tesla mission I am an Aerospace Engineer and if my team messes up...

A car is a very complex machine. It’s a representation of our species mastery of the sciences. Cosmetic fit and finish is subjective, mechanical reliability less so. To switch to a arguably lesser vehicle due to panel gaps is a decision I would not make, but it’s up to the OP as he is the...

Our VW Atlas with Technology does not have homelink and it is missed. If this helps Tesla be profitable then I support it. My M3 Premium has it, if it did not I would have paid for it. I understand everyone deep in the process who expected it for free (or whatever you classify it being...

Zero phantom braking on my 3 after 10 months and 6k miles. But agree; I won’t spend $ unless there are immediate features delivered. Will enjoy EAP.

It is my opinion that this decision to make Autopilot a standard feature will save thousands of lives assuming Tesla is successful and continues this trend. The lives saved will include Tesla and non-Tesla owners for several reasons including; Tesla to Non-Tesla crashes and the push for other...

My paint was perfect apart from a delivery scratch under the nose. Clearly visible if you are lying under the car with a LED detailing flashlight and decent optics. Tesla gave me a free touch up paint kit. Did not use it. The OP images look very bad. I don't understand why it has been so hard...

I went with silver knowing the large nose was going to bother me and that darker colors hide it better. I love my T3 and the way it looks but I went ahead and gave it a nose job. I prototyped it with black tape to see if I would like it before doing the CAD and laser cut work. The tape version...

You have three days to return the car. Could be a last resort.

Driven both the M3P+ and my current M3RWD. Yes; you can feel the extra 250 lbs, but the larger staggered 20s make up for it mostly. I don’t think I would own the M3P with 18s.

+1 on Tesla providing a free touch up kit and not re-spraying panel. I got a free kit. Interesting they can’t mail them because it’s paint or something. However they did deliver it using their roadside repair truck.

I would envoke the return policy. You will get a car this year, there will be a huge end of Q4 push; worst case. I would also use a different delivery center if you can. I was told by a sales associate that I could pick my delivery center if I ordered from her. Might try a pre-sales human...

Sorry I had said TSportOnline instead of TSportline. It’s late. Install price varies my geography; central FL quote was $600 The TSportline kit does not include the door panels, did that myself. A quick YouTube search will yield a how-to diy video I did on the door panels. They will sell you...

Option 3; accept car, then install TSportLine white leather for ~$2k. (No affiliation just happy customer). This is what I did, and my story was similar. No regrets... ...apart from not waiting for the M3P+ to be released. D78D18EE-A984-4146-BDE0-F9DAA1B1F08E by TrentC posted Aug 16, 2018 at...

My car is awesome. Delivery was fine, little rushed but fine. Car was almost perfect, as good as other brands. It has been mechanically perfect. It is fun to drive and a pleasure when it drives itself. I heard red cars burst into flames or something.

Interesting. I diddnt see any big visual difference between Tesla’s Performance spoiler and RPMs. I will pay closer attention next time.

Central FL, 90 deg F no heat issues. I was very concerned as a friend has a Porsche Cayenne GTS with a glass roof and a power rollout shade inside. Note the rollout is not blackout but also perforated. The GTS cooks you even with the roller shade closed. The GTS feels like a tanning booth. In...

Notes: 1. The 20” rims+ tires are larger in diameter even though the 20s have a lower profile. 275/30/20 have a diameter of 26.5” 2. My 19” rims + tires are 26.4. That’s 2.5mm smaller 3. The fender to tire top gap on my M3RWD varies front to back, with the front having 10mm more gap. I...

I went from Tesla 3 Black to white. It’s so subjective on looks, but my vote is White. However the Black needed to be wiped down more often than the white. The Black showed every water spot. Very annoying. I do agree however that the Black will likely last longer. I have 8 vehicles with...

No fitment issues with my Tesla 3 carbon RPM unit. Bought it a month ago. Installed flat with no rattling. Has been rock solid. IMO the silver needed it. Sorry you are having trouble, why not get a warranty exchange?

Great catch. That clip is the first thing that comes to mind when someone uses the word “bozo”. Long live John Mulaney.

I don’t see any evidence of poor model 3 quality. Assuming that is what “blows” means. Interesting how that vernacular went negative. Not sure how you missed “mounds of dirt” on your inspection, only finding it when you arrived home. Bird poop has the ability to stain any common automotive...

I examined it quite closely. It looks like white epoxy paint. Or could be a ceramic coating. Either way I don’t like it. It looks “cheap”; but that is subjective. Still 76% rounded to the nearest stardate. 353550DA-2694-4213-9C86-CE0096EB8580 by TrentC posted Aug 16, 2018 at 10:10 PM...

Test drove a white/white M3P+ at the Boca Raton Town Center in FL on Sat. This is after Putting 1k miles on my M3 RWD 19”, and doing a couple of 0-60 runs right before the test drive. It was really really fast and the 20s weren’t too harsh. Did a 3.4 sec 0-60 if you subtract 0-2 MPH as...

You should try and order a Ferrari sometime. Two year wait (for a model in full production) and they wouldn’t even put me on the list. And am a current and previous owner of >20 years.

The advice will depend on the forum. M3P all the way. But on the RS3 forum it’s likely inverted. My M3 RWD is so good I stopped driving the Bentley GT. I just drove the M3P+ on Saturday and it’s even better. $20k better? I don’t know. Ask me in a week...

Every M3 Owner has access to provide a code to a Tesla Buyer Only M3P, MS, MX buyers have the ability to use the code.

6 miles in mine as well. It took another painful 44 to reach the 50 required to enable EAP

I upgraded the seats on my RWD to white using the TSportline ultra white kit. They have several versions, I used the OEM look, second generation M3 style. It looks perfect. The quality of the kit, fit and finish, and materials is execellent. It changed my car from nice to wow. *note the door...

I installed 2018.24.7 today on my 3. Up from my delivery version 2018.18.14 from a 6/30/18 delivery. Unfortunately I am in Las Vegas and the car is in Florida so can’t comment on it. Girlfriend hit the install button for me.

Thanks for your story. I received the exact same treatment picking up at Orlando FL on 6/30. It was a “sign these papers and give us the check then you can look at the car...”. I said I would only be taking delivery if it was acceptable. They assured me it was. I commented that it had the wrong...

So what does one day matter? 1. It is a clue to the fact that Tesla has some headroom on the 200k USA Tax Credit. 2. Makes me feel a little more comfortable on the free lifetime premium internet. Just in case the “leak” and “Tesla confirmation” of said leak was not accurate and it is...

How much did Arts quote. Was thinking of using Dark Side on US1.
