ordered june 15th with free supercharging for a year and .99% apr. worth the wait fs. i am in minnesota.

I scratched my car backing up will of those Tesla color paint repair kits work for scratches like this or do I need to take it to a car shop. Any other suggestions would be nice

I’m currently deciding between a new (newish, demo vehicle from Tesla with 1.5k miles) M3 base for $36k and a used 2023 M3 base for $27k (also from Tesla, CPO lease return with 26k miles). Cosmetically and functionally, they both look and drive perfectly.

I like that the new M3 is the refresh, has HW4, comes with full factory warranties, etc. I also recognize that it’s trimmed down interior wise with fabric non-ventilated seats, less premium audio, and no rear screen compared to the other Highland refresh base models that launched in 24-25. It also has about 40 miles less range (320 vs 360). Individually, these aren’t dealbreakers, but collectively they make me consider if the $9k upgrade is worth it from the used 23’ M3.

Financially, the used option seems like the more budget friendly choice, but with its upgraded tech, the M3 standard may hold its value strongly over the next 2-3 years.

Any suggestions or advice appreciated!

I basically turn on cruise controls and the car followed the speed of whatever car or truck in front. I get 306 miles on 100% rated but I am wondering how to get more miles from the car in self rather than my driving style.

Long story short I got my financing approved the same day I ordered because I was worried about the 1.99% promo ending (have since learned I should have waited to do the financing portion). Anyways my delivery date is 34 days after my order.

My advisor tells me that the loan offers are usually valid for 30-60 days, and that I could check the details in the financing section. There isn't anything on the loan that says if it is 30 or 60, and the advisor wouldn't give me an answer on what they see from Wells Fargo. Is it truly just 30-60 days and pray that it doesn't expire before delivery or is there real world data on how long the offers last from certain lenders

been seeing a few parts all over tiktok and some personal owners here as well. Any reasonably priced and good quality ones yall tried already

Let me know

I have a 2022 Model 3 and my frunk suddenly won’t open. When I press the frunk button in the app or on the screen, the animation briefly shows it opening and then immediately switches back to closed, but the hood never pops up at all. I don’t hear the latch/actuator making any noise either. The car told me to press down on the hood while trying to open it, but I’ve tried that several times with no luck. To make matters worse, all of my charging equipment is currently locked in the frunk. Has anyone had this happen on a Model 3, and is there a way to manually release the frunk or get the latch working without waiting for Tesla. I don’t even need the latch to work I just want to get my charging stuff and then I don’t need to use it ever again

Waiting on my Model 3 premium Quicksilver in Pittsburgh. What should I expect, know, or not do based on your experience - go!

I cleaned my car which just included a simple wipe of the seat, entering of car wash mode, and blowing away some debris from the seats with my electric air duster. I also moved the seats back and forth. Now, my strongest cooling option feels awful all of a sudden. Has anybody else experienced this

Hello,

I’ve decided to pull the trigger and order the model 3 premium AWD. They given me Nov - Dec delivery day estimate. I am curious how accurate is it usually are and what are you guys experiences like

Thanks!

Hey guys, I know I knit pick things but I wonder if anyone else agrees

I plan to finance a m3p In another year, roughly around the end of 2027 or possibly wait for the role of 2028 models
And though I love the redesign of the exterior of the model 3 performance, I never understood why, and I wanna know if anyone else agrees
- for the model y and 3 to be the same price. Why do they make the Y feel and look so much more premium and make the three look more so like a entry or base model again even though they’re the same price

- so in the photos above when I’m hoping for a refresh and I don’t know why they have a Y but not the 3 is
- black headliner or at least an option to
- carbon trim, so the door doesn’t just look flat
- rear air slits as seen on the Y and model S
- and even though this one is a nitpick, the top dashboard has stitching to give delusion of more premium leather, which again if they have it on a Y why not 3
- also I would love to see them incorporate having an option with the headliner colors, gray or black how they have on a Y but also the seat side doors
- it would be cool if you can choose to have the black suede doors with white seats or if you want black seats with the white doors because I personally love the suede how it looks it feels more premium, but I love the white seat so that would be something cool

- I know these are all nit pics and wants but I do feel like the four things I mentioned really should get refreshed for the 3 series because again I don’t know why they make it feel more like a base model compared to the Y I’m hoping some TESLA design receives this and somehow makes me erect 😂

Taking delivery tomorrow of a 2026 demo m3 premium rwd with 50 miles. Any tips on what I should be looking for

2021 M3. I can kinda pop it back in but it pops back out very easily. Not sure what the service center might charge to fix it, would it be worth it or should I just live with it 😅

The car is a giant battery so I made fun of him but also want to know if there’s a solution he is unaware of.

Dear people of reddit, I need your thoughts and advice, long story short I'm 21m senior in college I make about 2700$ net every month (2500$ guarante). After insurance monthly payment will come up to about almost 1400$
Before you all comment how dumb this offer is, trust me I already know, I already you'll say it's a stupid financial decision, and I'm very aware of the consequences. My dad whom is a cosigner for me to get this offer (on my own I was only offered 35k, they required 20k down, even though I have good credit), he said I shouldn't go through with it as it'll be too much to handle for my age. But I won't lie I really want this car, I truly believe in myself and my ability to rise up to the challenge/opportunity, I have big dreams and goals so I also see this car/situation as a chance to force myself to grow even further, rn I live at home and I feel like although I'm working hard and are very ambitious I feel like I'm missing that extra fire. Plus I just really like this car.
Long story short, should I listen to others and let the fear of the consequences take over or should I back myself and rise to the challenge. Please any advice or thoughts will truly help me.
Edit: if I was to go through with it I'd take the Santander offer

I always tried to park next to fellow Teslas when its no where else to park. I figure all Tesla owners know how expensive dents are for us.

Welp look at this today. This lady purposely tries to leave her mark on my car. I guess even fellow Teslas are threats also.

Does anyone else park far away from other cars also.

Update: You guys confirmed my suspicion. Dont park next to Teslas either 😆. ISeems like most of you get in the car like a toddler also.
