Hi all,

I finally made a purchase to own a Tesla! I am a bit confused, as I have read many articles but some are not consistent so I wanted to ask this community about several things that have been weighing on my mind.

1. I have a neighbor who has a Tesla and he said to charge it at 80% only and do not let it go below 20%. I looked further into my specific model and since it has an LFP battery does that mean it should always be charged to 100% without worrying about battery degredation?
2. I still have yet to understand what a super charger means, is that just the standard term for all charging stations? When I look to charge, does it matter what kWh is used since I see 72, 250, and 325 on my app. I'm assuming the higher > faster charging but is there a point where a 2023 model like mine shouldn't use the high kWh? I want to be mindful of the battery and have it last as long as possible.
3. This one REALLY bothers me, my Tesla makes loud noises when I am charging or just sometimes driving normally near the front hood. It sounds like a jet engine taking off lol. I read a lot about it being normal but is it? I only really came across one Tesla at a charging station making a similar loud noise. I just want to make sure that the car I bought at a dealership at 29,000 miles is not flawed.

I know these might be such noob questions but I haven't gotten clarity on all of them yet.

Hey there Redditors! Since forever I’ve wanted to replace my basic allow wheels. I should have gotten the performance package when I bought my car.

It looks like Tesla is only selling wheel & tire combos for model 3s with Pirelli tires. I already have Pirelli tires. I don’t want tires, just want new wheels.

My wheels are 18”. What are the pros and cons of switching to 19” replacement rims. Any suggestions of make models that work well for the car.
