    Discussion on this WSJ article

    I think the sentiment of this article is on key, but details seem so wrong. https://stocks.apple.com/A8GdZ7f5jQ5OVO_nhxf-ixA I always thought of WSJ as a reliable source. - first LFP? - $7500 tax credit in 272 mile range lease in 2024. Am I wrong here? - 272 mile range for 2024? Didn’t that...

    Creep Roll Hold gone from all 2024 Tesla vehicles

    Test drove a 2024 M3 yesterday and could not find the feature. Confirmed with rep that it doesn’t exist on new M3 and she said it’s gone from ALL 2024 Tesla. TRUE?

    2024 Highland M3 side-by-side comparison videos

    I test drove a M3 today and had a few minutes to do some side-by-side comparisons pointing out what stood out to me, a recent 2023 purchaser. Rudimentary videos, but not long. Crazy smooth over speed bumps even with 45 psi in demo car tires. Why could I not change creep, roll, hold...

    Determining most efficient charge rate 2023 M3 RWD LFP

    A) Peak power spikes are bad for grid and add to Peak Load Calculation on my bill. Charging at the max for my vehicle, 32 amps creates spikes. So I want to bring this down. B) Charging in colder temps requires battery heating, and I believe I read that 300 W is consumed by the car any time...

    FYI: 235/45/18 Hankook Ventus S1 AS Soundabsorber vs standard

    I wanted not only a full size spare, but the ability to try and shred tires without concern of blowing money. So instead of just buying one extra wheel and tire, I bought two refurbed wheels on eBay, two used tires on eBay, and two TPMS from AliExpress. I finally mounted them up. I knew that...

    Defrost / Defog: Just want fan

    I was driving today in the 34 F sunny day and the car full of 5 needed no heat. We were comfortable like cattle in a barn warming it up ourselves, but of course we needed to defog the windshield. I didn’t want to let the heat pump run, and would really like to be able to just run the blower...

    USB-C ports on mobile connector (2023)???

    I have two ports that look like USB-C ports on the mobile connector I just received and can’t find info in the manual about them. Pictures here: Post in thread 'Model 3 RWD Purchased November 2023' Model 3 RWD Purchased November 2023 Does anyone know what they are for? Phone chargers?

    Model 3 RWD Purchased November 2023

    I thought I’d start a thread where I collect and document my experience with our Model 3, items we purchase, charger installation, etc. This site has been so helpful. So I thought it might be nice to “give back” by sharing my information. While there’s previous information mostly around...

    8x17 et45 2004-2006 Acura TL wheels fit M3RWD?

    I realized I’ve got four (cheap) 2004-2006 Acura TL wheels that I no longer want to use on the 2007 Honda Pilot (bc I went back to stock 16”), and the bolt pattern and bore is an exact match, 5x114.3 with 64.1 mm Center bore. They are one inch too small AND 5 mm to far in with the et45, but I...

    Budget TPMS

    Just purchased M3RWD two days ago for my wife to use as her daily driver. I don’t want to shred her tires, but I can tell you, especially with free supercharging for the first 6 months, I’d really like to hammer it and have some fun with some spirited driving. I read that rear tires (even on...

    Pre/post-2020 18” wheel difference

    Is there really a difference between the pre and post-2020 18” wheels? Or just the wheel covers? https://tsportline.com/blogs/tesla-aftermarket-support/the-tesla-model-3-wheel-guide I am looking to buy a spare and would like them all to match, and at the very least be able to mount my 2023...

    Lighter 12 volt power stopped working (1 day old)

    We just brought the M3RWD home yesterday. 258 miles of 272 range available. Floor mats won’t arrive for more than a week. So I grabbed the 12 volt corded vacuum to get the leaves off the floor and install some used black floor mats I’ve got. Passenger front done and moved clockwise to the...

    2023 M3 Floor Mats: What to buy and when?

    The 16-18 year old Honda Ridgeline and Pilot have the all weather floor mats which are easy to clean, but always are dirty. I’m thinking that with this nicer car we will just keep it clean and maybe get some winter mats if really needed. So what’s a NICE floor at that will go well with white...

    Last Decision: Color

    SILVER OR BLACK? Those are the colors my wife and I agree on as our top 2 choices. White interior (wife and I agree we want) and 18” wheels. Recommendations? Want to know more about our situation? Feel free to read below. ——————- We have 17-18 year old Honda Pilot and Ridgeline vehicles...

    What charger(s) do I want/need for 2023 MY or M3?

    I'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but my belief is that I should not need a Tesla charger at all bc I should be able to charge these cars while on the road at a non-tesla charge point. Right? So I'm assuming that when I purchase, I don't need to buy the Tesla mobile or wall connector...

    Model 3 or Model Y? 3 teens

    My wife and I have been wringing every drop out of our 2006 Honda Ridgeline and 2007 Honda Pilot, gas hogs. I’ve got a bit of an addiction to cheap old Mercedes’ and have more than enough of them, but my wife doesn’t want to drive them. It’s time to get something from this century, something...
