So within 50 miles driving my new Y I have a significant problem. Low frequency booming air pressure. I’m hyper sensitive to this phenomenon with a single window down and the air pressure “thrumming “ or booming or what ever it’s called. I just know I hate it. So my new car is doing this over...

So I sold my M3 to carmax now I’ve picked my my new .99 Y. They gave me exactly what they quoted online but the told me that I’m lucky. They are getting a ton of Tesla owners doing what I just did. So he’s expecting the offering prices to fall in a few days.

Shout out to the folks at the Irvine Tesla Service Center/Delivery . The car was spot on perfect. Clean, detailed, nothing out of place. Gaps good etc. This one was built in Fremont for those interested. Blue/B/W interior 5 seat. Busy at 6PM with 15 people in front of me and 5 more behind me...

I decided to bite on the new LR Y RWD and save myself 3K plus vs an AWD. The only difference I could see was a 2 second acceleration and I "should" get a few more miles of range. The other is there is not any delivery date for the LR RWD and I could have gotten the AWD this week from stock.

My 2019 M3 has the chrome and my SO and I really like the look on the blue. Not a fan of the "murdered out" look. I have seen some kits with stick on stainless trim. Not a real fan of that either but that seems to be the only option short of pulling the car apart and either plating what I have...

I just got back from a short and fast trip from Los Angeles to General Sherman Tree in the Sequoia National Forrest. The trip is about 5-6 hours there with a couple of charges on the way up. I have a Model 3 STD Plus so I have short legs :) I charged at Tejon which is pretty normal for me...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Complete Performance brake upgrade kit. Please add to the discussion here.

So the last owner of my 2019 M3 ( lease return) butchered the tweeters ( cut the connectors, soldered speaker wire directly to the speakers and crimped the other end) and did the same to the two midrange/woofers in the front doors. What I learned is that the green connector for the woofers that...

Looking for OEM carpet mats for 9/2019 build model 3. I would just order new but Tesla is out of stock so I thought I would ask and see if anyone has a set to part with. Pref to pick up in LA /OC/SD area

Note: I bought this.. not a paid review or a comp'ed review. My own hard earned cash :) I got the Model 3 bumper kit and the headlight and foglight kit. Why? because it was under 200 vs the 2K I was quote to wrap the front of the car. Why wrap? Because I drive out in sandy desert places at...

Pretty straight forward.. looking for a Bonus Module from Ingennext.

Looking at a used M3 LR for 27K with 84K miles. Comestically, the car is in very good shape. It looks to have been a commuter car hence the higher miles. On ICE, that was high milage.. But the tesla seems to age differently. I'm not worried about the motor or battery. Its more about the struts...

I love the seats in my 2019 M3 Partial premium. I rented a 2020 M3 dual motor and the front seat is a different beast. My profile when it is used on the 2020 is completely wrong.. not by a little.. by a lot. And the killer is the #&&@# lumbar support. I cant get it to go flat like my 2019. Is...

Autel supplied the charger to review. With that said, there are some very good points to this charger and two minor issues. This review is for the Autel Maxicharger AC Wallbox Home EV Charger 40A. The reason for the 40 amp rating on this unit is because it has a NEMA 14-50 pigtail already...

Need a beater that runs.. No salvage titled or rebuilts titles. No flood damage.. Must be able to supercharge. Will pay FAIR price depending on damage. Hail damage, ruined paint, body damage to a degree.. all good for this project. PM me with details

Does anyone know where one can get just the cap or maybe a universal replacement? I dont want to spend 40 dollars for the seal kit that has the one part I need :/

For all of us that lost out on Fog Lights, a bit of good news. There have been hacks for some time now where you install the lights then tap into the wiring. Then there was Ingenext's Bonus module which let us swap in the lights, plug them in and turn them on/off but only from their web...

So the new plug and go for teslas at EVgo works pretty well and supports both the tesla ccs adapter or the A2Z adapters. The setup is a bit klunky. You need to add the car plus vin. Then you actually need to go to the charger and use the app to finish up. You have to set up the session then you...

Smaller than I remember and missing a few key players like Cadillac Lyriq. But much busy at 9pm on a Friday than I expected. They had an EV row with an indoor test track which let people banzai around a few different EVs one of which was a Mach E. And there was enough room to get your foot into...

I took my M3 SRD+ on a sort road trip from Orange Country to Big Bear Lake which is about 90 miles each way from here. 0 to about 7,000 feet of elevation. I topped off at home to 100% which is 216 miles. I stopped at the Supercharger at the base of the mountain at San Manuel Village 27961...

Looking for a pair of these stands. I wont pay new prices for used stands. I will pay a reasonable price. Local to OC is best to save everybody the headache of shipping something very heavy and awkward. Unless you have the original shipping? then we can discuss. Thanks!

Came across this prototype in Irvine today

Tesla has some interesting fine print in their contracts. Selling reservations may get your order cancelled and you banned for life from buying a new tesla. From Autoevolution "Tesla is not afraid to use that leverage to keep its customers disciplined. It’s not always working as intended...

Looking to pick up a good used or nearly new set of OEM continentals that were OEM on M3 with the sport 19 inch rims. No patches.. No plugs. No gouges in the sidewalls. No shipping so Southern California in the LA/OC/SD area. Here is your chance to clean out the garage of upgraded tires :D

I have both a Tesla Chad adapter and a SETEC CCS Adapter for my Model 3. Due some circumstances, I have been charging almost exclusively using the SETEC for the past 45 days.. over 600 Kw worth :). Has not missed a beat. Here is the interesting thing. I use teslaapp to monitor different...

The three pictures say it all. After five months, one of the struts came apart when I opened the trunk, went sideways under force and cracked my rear glass in my M3. The 2nd struct when I pulled it out, has a crack running through the plastic head but had not broken yet.. it was on it's way...

I've picked up both a SETEC CCS adapter and a Chad adapter for my M3. I've taken them on a few short ( under 500 miles) trips and so far so good. in fact, on one trip I passed the SC location which was full, went 3 miles down the road and charged using the Chad adapter with no wait and 21 cents...

I have a Y on order for my wife but we went out this weekend and looked at a Polestar 2. Impressive car on the surface. Super build quality, fit, finish etc. But, my wife and I got into and within 30 seconds, went "nope, nope, nope".. very tight cockpit design and the massive center console is...

My 2019 M3 is a great car but short legs. Its a standard plus so the very best range is 215 miles at 100%. My road trip in AZ was uneventful even with that but two times I got a bit nervous with charging due to some distance and broken stalls at a supercharger. I've taken measures to combat this...

I'm letting my subscription go.. I've had it for two months and too many stupid choices were made by it. It consistently wants to drift left when there is an on ramp for the highway/freeway. It missed seeing a bicyclist on the highway and kept trying to center the car which would have been way...

From today's news here in California: California’s clean-air regulators Wednesday unveiled a far-reaching proposal requiring a ramp-up in sales of zero-emission cars, culminating in a ban on new gasoline-powered cars by 2035. If adopted by the California Air Resources Board this summer, the...

Yeah.. I'm borrowing part of Kathy's song.. but it fits. I just completed a 1,500 miles.. cost in fuel was 106 USD. with about 80 miles for free. I took my Standard Plus to AZ and back.. short legs and all. My "range" is 220 miles.. reality is if I top to 100%, I get about 216. 80% is about...

So who thinks about a Frunk? Most of us assume there is one.. I mean, we used to put engines there right? Now the engine is gone and at worst, there is a small electric motor and some supporting electronics. Being curious, I poked around some.. this is what I have found so far and it's been...

So I rented a bay with a lift and installed two new M3 metal skid plates and a new OEM rear sway bar/end links off a Performance model. I have a M3 Standard + to set the ground here. The plates were bought off an infamous auction site from a place in Texas. Decent price price with a 3 day Fed...

My neighbor gets access to some very cool EVs now and then. This is what he brought home last week for a few days.. I like my Tesla but man, this is making me rethink that :D

I went to my favorite SC last night because it happens to be in the parking log of a Target so can grocery shop while charging.. win-win :) When I got back to my car, I noticed a black Tesla next to mine but didnt think much about it until my daughter told me as I was loading the trunk that...

I just got my Neo smart switch and have been playing with it all weekend. Cool piece of tech when you have multiple EVs. I have my wife's hybrid set up as the primary and my Tesla as secondary. This means she charges first with both plugged in. Once hers is done, it will automatically rollover...

Yeah.. after 3 months the computer decided that I was not stopping fast enough in a semi emergency and slammed on the brakes. It's very unsettling to be pushing one the brakes then have them drop another inch on their own with that damn alarm. The driver behind me ended up next to me because she...

This is a brand new cover that I put in the car once to see how it fit compared to the original Farasla I bought. The cover is really nice, looks very close to the OEM Tesla cover down to the flap so you can charge. Which leads to why I have two of them. I bought one and then complained to...

I picked up a set of extra bright OzbiumX LEDs for a couple of reasons.. pig tails.. special LEDs for the foot well and good quality. I got them in white because I wanted white light for the doors but I really didnt want uber bright white in the footwells. I used to be a professional...

So in the process of installing my boost module, I took the bottom of the glove box which was fine but I ended up popping off the side panel of the dash and the small fill panel next to it. Two things were apparent, someone else had been in there by way of the speaker zip cord running up the...

I had the good fortune yesterday to go over to my in-laws as a "test" run of my M3 over a long distance. They are about 110 miles away and it was an opportunity to test the car which I bought used and scope out the supercharger that is about 3/4 way there. We tend to visit quite a bit when they...

I picked up a used 2019 Model 3( slightly at 11K miles ) a few weeks ago and was a bit distressed that the 100% charge was only 200 miles. After reading more than a few threads here, I did some work of charging, running the battery down.. letting it sit.. charging back to 80%.. rinse repeat...
