    Did you order a trunk mat? Recommendations. I need one for my 2024 Model 3.

    Have they finally fixed the Model S yet? Interested in 2024 plaid.

    You can feel comfortable moving forward with either version of the model S. I have two neighbors with MSP, one is a late model 2023 with 19s and all is perfect on the car including no vibrations and a smooth ride. I have an earl 2022 MSLR and it is excellent. Did you ever pick up the 2022...

    When I picked up my S back. 2021, a sales advisor was able to see where my car was when it was in route to the delivery center including where the car carrier was on the freeway. I am not sure if they were supposed to do that, but the technology is there to do so.

    I didn’t think 40 was offered??? Our 2018 M3 had 40 and it was perfect. I have 30 on my Model S which looks really good for two years now with no issues. If you do get a ticket, you can just pay a higher fine and the tint doesn’t have to be removed. My son got a speeding ticket coming down the...

    I picked up my new Model 3 on January 30th. Today I just picked it up from RPM Tesla in Rancho Santa Margarita. I got PPF on hood, fenders, bumper, lights and mirrors. Window Tint 35 on all windows except windshield. Ceramic Coating to finish it off. All products were from Xpel I feel that the...

    I was told by Tesla that it’s HW 4 and the cameras have the red in them.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    For me it hasn’t been a problem. I don’t fully trust it, but it has actually worked for me. For the garage, I have always relied on the rear camera. I drive straight into the garage and I have a mark on the garage floor on where I need to stop. I know the garage door won’t hit the car and I...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I brought a Bank Cashiers Check and I asked to see the car before handing the check over. They said that was fine, but their preference was for me to hand over the check and then review the car. I was able to get inside and perform a quick inspection. Previous Teslas, I wired the funds through...

    Just looked at mine which seems better aligned.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Congratulations. I am very curious to see if you will receive a 4G or 5G modem. Mine was the 4G. Does anyone know if the modem hardware also includes bluetooth and WiFi components?
  15. SoCalDude

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I thought so too for 5G???. Tesla website says dual-band WiFi which I confirmed I have. Need to see what others are posting for the modem when their cars arrive.

    I’ll bet it comes sooner. I am traveling so won’t be able to take my picture until Friday. But here is one I found online.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    My 2018 is a RWD Long Range 0-60 5s or just under I believe. My S is a 2022 0-60 3.1s. It feels more like the S on acceleration with a little less pull. I Feels amazing and puts a smile on your face. Some reviews claim the new 3 does 0-60 in 4.0s. I believe it. This weekend, maybe I can run...

    This video states that the processor has not been updated and probably will not be for some time. The processor is the same as in my 2022 Tesla S.

    I thought we were getting the 5G modem in the new Highland 3 😡 Looks like I got the old 3 leftovers.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I forgot about this possibility. At pickup time, Tesla had us create all new profiles. The new 3 is on software 2023.44.200.5.1. Release notes for this release say ‘Minor Fixes’.

    Ride quality is as good and maybe better than my 2022 Model S. Sound system playing lossless sound from Tidal is crystal clear and a phenomenal bass. The car is absolutely amazing in every way. Just purchased the Garage Door opener, portable charger and I will order Enhanced Autopilot in next...

    I have the 2022 Long Range S and I am fine with the suspension. I think you will get use to it.

    I am likely picking up the new 3 this afternoon. I will know more soon.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Pickup time is 3pm today. I was super excited when I picked up my 2022 S, but for the 3, I am somewhat concerned about a few things... I know that Tesla is always updating the cars and that’s fine. I however would be disappointed if they release the front bumper camera a few weeks later. I do...

    Model s Suspension vs M3 Highland suspension

    I test drove the new M3 rear wheel drive twice now including on the freeway and the suspension is remarkably better than our 2018 M3. It is a nice comfortable ride while still being sporty. I am a fan. My only gripe is no front bumper camera now that we don’t have ultrasonic sensors on the...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Is it mentioned anywhere that the interior door trim is slightly different between the vehicles? When I test drove the rear wheel drive model, I didn’t like the fabric on the doors. on the website if you change to the Long Range, the door trip looks better to me.

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    I have driven the new 3 a couple times now. Both were the rear wheel drive. It’s an amazing vehicle. Build quality, it’s quiet and smooth on the road. Autopilot worked as expected. The one and only thing that is killing me is no front bumper camera. I tried to see how close I could get to a wall...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I placed an order for the Model 3 Long Range for the wife. She wants to keep her 2018. I am trying to convince her that we can get more money for the 2018 while it still has a battery warranty and before others start to upgrade and the market gets saturated with used Teslas.

    sway bar+link replacement: safety issue or minor noise issue?

    Just had the Front Suspension Stabark links replaced on my 2022 Model S replaced. Clunking sounds at low speeds. The replacement part looks to be a Rev C. Part Number: 1420391-00-C
  41. SoCalDude

    New to the MSLR - delivery date this week!

    The S is an excellent vehicle. Fun to drive. Tidal music downloads gives you the best experience with the sound system.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    it kinda Scares me that you lack these abilities with pilot in your username. I would prefer the horn in the center, but I have adapted. Give yourself a little more time And don’t be so hard on yourself.

    another $5k drop

    I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 that I would like to refresh, but losing the parking sensors, getting HW4 without the new placement of cameras makes this moment in time a bad idea for me to move forward. I’ll wait, even if it means the price may go up a bit.

    Yoke and FSD (Beta) don’t mix

    I use FSD all the time with the yoke and it’s awesome. I was apprehensive about the yoke in the beginning. Now I feel if I was to change it out for a wheel, the car would lose some of its character. I also would prefer to have the center as the horn. The button is ridiculous
  45. SoCalDude

    Yoke peeling

    I am interested. I sent you a message. Thanks.

    Tesla lost it way when it ditched Mobile Eye and real leather

    The pre refresh are great cars. The new one isn’t bad either. Just drove it from Orange County to Las Vegas. It’s quiet, comfortable, sound system is excellent, the system tells me how long to charge, it’s fun, and the software always has something new. I have no regrets on the refreshed Model...

    2021 Model Year Refresh: Owners' Thoughts?

    I got the $$1,825 plus $204 for labor estimate to get the 16GB upgrade. Anyone have screenshots of the website from late 2001 with statements that mention Steam can be played on our pre Feb 2022 Model S refresh vehicles? I want the upgrade, but really to have more storage on the SSD for Tidal...

    2021 Model Year Refresh: Owners' Thoughts?

    I also just requested the 16GB upgrade. I’ll pay the $2k if they also move my horn to the center of the steering wheel. I also want the new tail lights, headlights, tilt screen and tow hitch. :cool::cool::p
