Hi TMC, On my Model 3 Perf., when I sync my iPhone 11 Pro, I have two options: Option 1 - Use the iPhone as a key. Option 2 - Sync everything, including calendars and options for messages and contacts to sync as well My biggest issue is a good majority of the time, I’m driving my car to a...

Hi All, I recently upgraded my trunk to RevoZport’s Carbon Fiber offering and noticed it sits slightly higher than it should. I noticed a specific empty “hole” where it would make it fit flush but it’s not a bolt that can be easily removed (photo attached). Does anyone know how I would be able...

Tried to keep it simple:

I wrapped each of the center caps different colors of the Infinity Stones, I'm missing two: I will be adding the Infinity Stone on the tow hitch and adding a Tasseract inside the actual car, which should light up nicely with the white seats. :)

The way I view it is, the Model Y, which is slated for Winter 2020/Spring 2021, is taking the majority of its styling from the 3. That alone, provides comfort in knowing the style won't change much. Only future upgrades I can imagine is black chrome delete (the Model Y currently has that but...

Not all the time do they receive different part numbers. Intel for example, issues different part numbers on processors that they deem "perform better" and many times are the same processors used for entry level processors (identified by batch number, such as what has been seen in the Intel I7...

I've had a Model S85D as a Loaner car while my car has been in the shop and I miss my 3 every second I get... I've never been a fan of the S and having one for the past few weeks has made me want my 3 back more than ever. Now the X, that's a different story. I'd give up my 3P for an X in a minute.

I have the Super Low's and also got it done at Signature. My car is the "Thanos-themed" 3 Performance. I don't rub at all, I'm on 20's and I barely scrape, only if I go higher than normal speeds on speed bumps. The Signature Customs team do amazing work!

I turned it in around 50% and they never turned Sentry Mode off. It sat in the shop draining and beyond 20%, it just kept draining. Eventually, it just died. Just called to confirm, it was, in fact, the 12V battery.

So it's just a setting and not actual material?

What month/year would that be? I never knew there was a "Gen 2" yet.

First, I'd like to say that I absolutely love my local Tesla shop. I have never experienced such great service in my auto owning career - and the Tesla is #17 for me (yes... that's seventeen), including luxury brands such as Infiniti and BMW. Now I am just wondering if anyone else has...

I've had this numerous times and have taken it in for repairs. I've gotten repeaters replaced numerous times and I really don't think it's the repeaters. I could be wrong but based on my experience with computers, it's likely the HW.

After continuously revisiting this post, I think I may try my hand at it. Any idea where to buy the -2.5M Optic Fiber plus Illuminator? The link you shared is broken. Also, how has it been holding up?

I don't mind it and carry on the conversation. It's a good way to get a referral. I tend to get more Tesla owners coming to speak to me than non-Tesla owners due to the mods I've done. If only this would work in my hometown but even non-Spanish natives speak Spanish and many also speak...

Love the side skirt and the spoiler, the front bumper I heavily dislike; it doesn't flow with the car and the air gaps show too much separation. The diffuser, I kind of like but I need to ask - what's the purpose of a rear diffuser on an EV? Correct me, but I thought a diffuser was to mitigate...

My car is fully wrapped (P3D) and so is my wife's car (LR RWD). None have issues with the wrap, and my wife's car is wrapped with multiple layers.

To all of you asking about upgrading speakers (including SR/SR+), check out this post on TOO. Not written by me so please give the author and not I the credit, it is a greatly written post: Guide: Model 3 SR+ aftermarket to enable speakers and subwoofer upgrade install

This is mine prior to it being wrapped. Red multicoat exterior, white interior, Performance.

For those of you that don’t like Twitter links, I uploaded to Vimeo: I was able to get an appointment with my local SC via the App and repairs will commence by Tomorrow. Customer Service and experience with Tesla has been phenomenal.

Hi TMC, Today, I unfortunately was rear ended. I pulled up to a red light and was waiting, suddenly,I get rear ended by someone not paying attention (looks like they were grabbing something from the floor). I was at the front of the lane and when I was hit, I immediately saw a semi cross the...

Because saying positive things about Tesla 24/7 equates to readers believing he's bias and will take his "Electrek's take" as a joke. People do anyways, but just giving you the reason as to why he would say something negative about Tesla. Lately, he's posted more negative than positive. Also...

You could have just painted them red. They’re the same dimensions if I recall correctly. At least no one will know the difference.

One thing you should take into consideration is the majority of "issues" reported on forums result from owners frustrated and reporting their issues and hoping more seasoned owners have a quick fix for them or if this is common. This is common not just in Tesla forums but in all auto forums. My...

If you've been around Tesla long enough, you'll know the upgrade will eventually be offered.

Thank you both! It's Avery Dennison's "Roaring Thunder" wrap with Galaxy chrome delete and painted wheels.

The center caps are being custom wrapped to reflect 4 of the stones. I just need to find where to put the Reality and Space stone. The Space Stone is tricky, since it's the same color as the car.

I should be adding the Infinity Stones soon, but for now, Thanos:

Yes, unfortunately, they don't explain a whole lot. They kind of strive to be the worst "Salespeople" in the industry and with "not trying to sell you" unfortunately, comes not explaining some of the more important things. That being said, it's $100/year, not $100/month. Assuming you financed...

Nothing, they are virtually indistinguishable. As /u/verystandard mentioned, HW 2.5 vs. 3.0. That means nothing, however, since if you decide to purchase FSD in the future, they will have to upgrade you anyways. So nothing that can't be upgraded in the future.

Thank you for this. This is exactly what I was looking for, along with everyone else's responses. I will be recommending she purchase the Base w/ Autopilot. We will be visiting the local shop today.

Hi TMC, I am referring a family member to purchase a Model 3. Based on a number of factors: budget, range driven, necessities, etc., they would only require the SR/SR+. Now I do recall at some point, there were going to be a number of differences between the SR/SR+ and the higher trim models...

You mentioned to keep the side airbags in mind. Are these then deemed worthless once the covers are installed?

I have two Model 3’s (wife has LR RWD, I have P3D+) and the brakes react exactly the same. The big difference here are the bigger wheels on the P3D give it a wider turn and stiffer wheel while in Sports steering, but otherwise, they are nearly identical. I debadged my P3D so unless you see my...

"BMW is coming after Tesla in the way the Night King was marching on Westeros" Who's going to tell him?

Spoiler.

Both my wife's Model 3 and mine are wrapped. My wife's Model 3 is the cartoon-ish Model 3 that Elon retweeted about a month ago. Mine is the purple/red you see in my avatar. It's protected the vehicle for months so far and the wrap still looks brand new. Definitely worth every penny. Also, you...

You're going to miss out on getting junk food while fueling up.

0-40 is definitely still the same. I noticed a significant increase in power from 45+ as you mentioned, which made my 1/8 mile quicker. I tested it on my other thread with actual time slips. The most interesting part is the two time slips show the same 60' times.

My wife owns a LR RWD since June of 2018. It was ~4.6s 0-60. Insanely fast for what it is. Then, throughout updates, it went up to 5.4. recently with the power boost, it is floating around 4.8. It is still not maxed out. The P3D's can easily hit 2.9s. I don't know why it hasn't been pushed yet...

My configuration cost me $75,500. Similar configuration now costs: $67,500. This makes no sense.

I didn't word my original post thoroughly, sorry about that! I meant specifically for the Standard Range. I have two 3's and my mother would love the Y, but she has absolutely no need for extended range. Given how they priced and set up the 3 configurator, she would probably get the Standard...

Does anyone think we will be able to pre-order/reserve a Model Y prior to next Summer? Due to the constant shifting of Tesla vehicle pricing, I would like to secure the advertised price before an increase randomly happens.

I actually walked in to AutoZone asking for NOS, TT and similar stickers and they didn't have.

I believe this is why I see it so much more different than others. I purchased EAP for $5k and FSD for $3k. Now the pricing is reversed. The way I see it is if you are debating the cost of FSD vs. immediate upgrades, absolutely get the immediate upgrades. However if you're debating the cost of...

There's no vehicle in production that can match the Tesla's performance at it's price point. Sure a higher-end Porsche and even a modified BMW M4 in autocross would beat a P3D+, but at what expense?

Why? I'm just curious. I have a P3D+ with all of the bells and whistles, so this wouldn't fall into my realm, but assuming someone has access to charge every day at home, doesn't want to spend $10k+ on range they will likely never use and wants to take advantage of what Tesla offers, it only...

Avery Roaring Thunder. Very similar. Gloss option, not matte.

Custom wrap, it shifts colors depending on sunlight/angle. From red/Amber to blue/purple:

Hello TMC: Earlier this week, I received the 2019.8.5 update which included the 5% Power increase, so I decided to test out the new update on the track and share the numbers on TMC. Videos are below along with time slip. For comparison, I also included my January 11th slip, which was slightly...
