    First Tow of the Boat!

    I just picked up my new MY with tow package. Any suggestions on brand of hitch to buy or where to buy? I see the specs in the manual. Can I presume any local trailer company will have a hitch that fits?

    Fast build!

    maybe but they would have had to know the custom features. But yes in all likelihood, it was rolling thru the assembly line. But website show 4-8 weeks for delivery on MYs. Regardless, I am happy to have it sooner than planned. Thanks

    Securing Modern Spare Tire in back?

    Thanks for your opinion, but really wanting answers. A) I already have the spare B) asking if anyone has secured it and how. C) Have AAA in case it is a wet nasty night. But here in Texas, there are times and places where changing to the spare is the only option. D) My jack and lug wrench takes...

    Securing Modern Spare Tire in back?

    Has anyone considered securing the Modern Spare in the back? It seems that in an accident that tire can come right up to front. Thinking it might be a good idea to tie it down somehow. Has any considered doing this or if you have, how did you do it?

    Discussion : All discussion regarding Model 3 and Tax credit in model 3 subforum

    Hypothetical: If a person had to pay $10,000 in taxes, does it mean taxes are reduced by $7500? Thinking of trading in or selling my 2020 M3 and getting a 2023

    M3 Extended Warranty

    What is covered on Extended Warranty? The list of what NOT covered is extensive, so much that I can't see what is covered. Maybe seat motors?

    Tesla Extended Warranty - Worth it?

    And does anyone know just what is covered on the Extended Warranty? I looked over the agreement and it has lots of things not covered. So much that I can't figure out what it does cover.

    You all have about talked me out of a Tesla altogether...

    My M3 is best car I have ever had. Warranty repair for wiper fluid reservoir leak and nothing else in 3 years. I can't imagine having or driving anything else. So fantastic on road trips with the supercharger network too. Good luck in your decision.

    Route planners with waypoints and battery level thresholds?

    My opinion is that you have unrealistic expectations of simple route planners and navigation aids. Sometimes one just has to use their brain. I use ABRP prior to trips to just do a basic check on charger options, arrival times etc, then determine the stops myself and then use Tesla nav to jump...

    Route planners with waypoints and battery level thresholds?

    ABRP can be opened on the browser in car and can link with the car to give you more precise details on things like charge arrivals etc.

    This in reference to M3 so not much help for our issues, but glad to hear your Y has no issue.

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    I considered mirages too, but it happened early in the morning a few times. and in both cruise and auto pilot. it really sucks to not be able to use those features.

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    Just took a trip from Texas to Arizona on I-10 in my 2020 LR M3. From West TX to middle of AZ had about 15 instances of phantom braking. HARD braking - from 80 mph to 25 mph in seconds. Thankfully no traffic behind me or they could have easily hit me from the drastic slowdown. Had previously had...

    Model 3 Glass Roof with roof rack ***Crack

    In direct answer to the question, replace it, most insurance covers broken glass no matter the cause, with a small deductible of about $100.

    Car Factory reset itself yesterday!?!

    My car rebooted while driving (about 3 days ago). Screen just went black and after 2-4 minutes came back on. Nothing lost, but never had car reboot while driving. Had a few moments with no way to know how fast I was driving. Very odd it just did it all by itself.

    Passing Lane Mirror Signal

    as others have said, small blind spot mirrors work nice. cheap, easy to install or remove. maybe unpopular opinion, but sometimes low tech is ok.

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    Mobile connector over heat?

    I changed out receptacle to a Bryant, still had issues. What finally resolved it was to set the car back to 30A rather than the normal 32A. That seemed to reduce the heat load. It did bump it down to 7kw rather than the 8, but no big deal for me as it is charging all day or overnight anyway and...

    Mobile connector over heat?

    Yes, they contact perfectly. I talked with Tesla, they said if it is charging during a hot part of day, the mobile connector has a protection feature that drops it to lower for safety. Local SC said they are getting lots of reports of this happening this month. So I guess all is working correct...

    Mobile connector over heat?

    I have the mobile connecter. I have a 50 amp breaker, 6 wire, use a 14-50 plug . Has worked great for last 2 1/2 years. Recently (last 6 months) the connector started getting hot and bumped down from 32 amp to 16 amp. I can unplug, plug back in and it resets to 32A, but after 20 min gets hot and...

    Can any shop do wheel alignment

    Car drives straight, but inside tread on all 4 tires is essentially bald with 1/32, outside tread at about 5/32. I go see Tesla tomorrow to let them tell me why the excessive inside wear on all 4 tires. Yes, I rotated. and yes, I know that even at 5/32 if it was all even, it would be time to...

    will frunk lifters void warranty service?

    I am having some service done on my M3 in the frunk area. I installed lifters that open the frunk, just the basic spring things. When the service people see those, will it void any warranty stuff? (the windshield wiper reservoir is leaking and it is located up front)

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    I have a 2020, I get the smell about every year. I replace filters and use the evaporator cleaner (Kool it or Klima), seems to be just fine. Takes about ten min to get into the area, 20 min to let the cleaner do its job, 20 min to blow the cleaner out with fan on high speed, and ten to put it...

    KWh charge equivalents

    Thanks everyone. This exploration was to find an answer to those people telling me I am putting stress on the electric grid by having an EV. I wanted to have a comparison to show my car is not adding that much of a burden to the nations power grid. So it seems similar or even less than everyone...

    KWh charge equivalents

    I am curious if anyone knows (or can figure out) what common household appliance is about the same as charging up the M3LR by say, 40%. I mean is that the same as running my refrigerator all day? or having my porch lights on all night? or running the AC for two hours? That type of comparison...

    Live Camera View no longer an option?

    My phone app on android will not do live camera either. I have sentry mode on and when tapping the Enable Live camera it just brings up a screen and then it goes away. And I have the latest app version. One would think the people at Tesla could make an app feature do what is supposed to do when...

    Can any shop do wheel alignment

    Thanks everyone. Seems to be a bit of opinion difference with equipment. All I know is my original Primacy tires are at 25K and the insides of all tires are worn down to where they need replacement and the outsides prob have about 10K or more worth of tread. Interestingly enough car still drives...

    "cloud" speed limits wrong - who fixes them?

    A couple years back, the local highway I live near (speed limit 65) had some construction and they reduced speeds to 45 while work was done. The Tesla Nave sees that and of course limits the auto pilot. But now after almost a year of work being done, the Tesla still picks it up as restricted...

    Often you can have an electrician put in a sub panel and then run your 240V circuit from there. That is what I did and put in a 50 amp for the car.

When I pull up to the gate, homelink used to appear, now it does not and I have to stop, go into a...

    Setting time for precondition schedule glitch?
