Auxiliary battery failed at 4 1/2 years, 28k miles. Tried to buy replacement battery over the counter, but they won't sell one that way. Service call scheduled for next business day, total cost $118. Fine, as Service Center is 60 miles away. Walmart had 51R (right size) in stock for $149, but...

It seems Tesla doesn't care what we think, there is no way to send in comments and suggestions for improvements that I could find on their websites. Agree with listing above. All we really wanted to change on the screen was to move the phone button back to the main screen, not to disguise...

Just got back from 43 day trip, fully charged midrange Model 3 lost 20 miles of range in that time. Looks like software updates solved that problem. .

After a service call last summer, the local Tesla service Depot returned the car with 47 lbs in each wheel, and the road noise was unbearable. I have mine set to 39 from warmer weather and noticed that on cooler mornings the TPMS says 37 degrees, with no warnings. On our third world quality...

This summer, I did a 48 day trip.charged to 80%, parked the car on the driveway. Upon return, I had lost less than 2 miles per day. Sorry I forget the exact charge remaining %, but it was about 50%

I use those every night - works on snoring too!

I do not have a wind noise issue, but tire noise is a biggie on our local 3rd world caliber roads. After a recent Tesla service appt, somebody there inflated my tires to 47 psi front and 45 rear! The noise level increased dramatically, so I loiwered them back to 37 cold, which is yielding 41...

My M3 is 6 months old, 3300 miles, and road noise at speeds over 50 is really intrusive. Seems to be coming from the back, but I cannot isolate it. We need Bose to make a sound cancelling device for the car!

While I only have the Mid-range version, the Model 3 of loads of fun to drive all the time. Love the instant torque and responsive handling and steering. As a long-time Porsche 911 owner, I really enjoy having such a fun daily driver. My only complaints are the lack of an speed-variable volume...

I have an older Samsung S5. When leaving the house, I have to wake up my Tesla app and it works to allow me to open the door and drive. When out and about, it works 95% of the time without waking the phone up from my picket. Twice the car quit unlocking and the app said to activate airplane...

One could argue that fixed distribution costs and other misc. charges are something you have to pay whether or not you have a EV, so the true cost is the additional KW used by the vehicle times the rate when you charge. Here in SoCal, changing to EV Time of Use rates will drop my summer KW rate...

I had an experience at the Tesla Store in Buena Park, CA where the first stall charged at 19Kw, the next at 28Kw and finally moved to another that charged at 48Kw. There were no active chargers adjacent. Is this common? I called to report it, and next time is was back up to full speed. Is...

I tried to get to use my Wall Charger with my full 1964 100A panel by adding a subpanel to share duties with the electric oven, which would not be used during the overnight hours. But, when using the NEMA load calc form (...

My wife's Samsung S9 wakes up the car much faster than my S5. Faster processor, better Bluetooth?

Well, this will be very nice. Yesterday evening, I went to the Buena Park, CA store/supercharger. There was only 1 Model X actively charging. I was about 25% charged. The first charger station charged at 28 amps. After 10 minutes, I tried another - it charged at 18 Amps, so I tried a third...

Tesla seriously needs to divert headcount into their Service Centers, as currently the wait for an appointment at my local center is over 6 weeks. They sold a lot of Model 3s recently, without a corresponding growth in the support and Supercharger infrastructure. If they intend to keep up a...

I am beginning to think that failure to lock after exiting it has something to do with my wife closing her door after I n close my door. My Samsung S5 phone still does not unlock unless I activate the app before I get to the car. .

Many times, I have to reopen the app on my phone to insure that the car will open when I approach it. Additionally, sometimes, the car does not lock when I walk away and I have to lock it with phone. I can discern any pattern here, except that when I walk away in front of the car, it locks...

Has anyone installed this and dealt with the cover and frunk release wiring?

The 3M site for Thinsulate is very confusing, but it looks promising. Which version do you recommend?

I must be lucky because my December 2018 build M3 has no wind noise unless I am driving in big gusts. Road noise is another matter, so I really appreciate the write-up about the sound deadening mats, and cheaper alternatiive to Dynamat.

The windshield may have a hydrophobic coating and the suction cups removed it in spots, which would not hurt anything, really. Using the paste or solvents like alcohol or lacquer thinner will take off the coating as well and may make the spots bigger. I use Rejex on my windows' exterior (as...

I have been a big fan of Rejex polymer coating for a number of years, but never thought about applying it on TOP of the film. Has anyone used it that way?

I sold my 328i to get the Model 3. At 70K miles, it was starting to cost me a lot of money, not to mention the 16 mpg. Can't be happier!

I just found the SCE and AQMD rebates for installing the charging system, plus $450 for clean fuel vehicle. http://www.aqmd.gov/home/programs/community/community-detail?title=ev-charging-incentive Clean Fuel Rewards Program | SCE Clean Fuel Rewards Program

Same problem on rear left side buckle. It appears that the socket is installed too low, and you have to press down on the upholstery to get it to latch. It is on my punch list for fixing after the 1st of the year, as I am afraid the pressure will ultimately tear the seat material.
