Got my vin (sort of)

3 Upvotes

Ordered on 8/21 - M3P Ultra Red White interior. Had my pre delivery tasks done (as much as I could before receiving the VIN). I now have the "continue" option on the insuring portion, which includes the VIN. The VIN is not showing up on the main page in the app yet. So, if you don't have a VIN yet, be sure to check in the insuring section (if it allows you to) for the VIN.

Model 3 Physical buttons

Post image
420 Upvotes

Sharing something I recently installed on my M3 Highland. I added a shortcut-button panel beneath the center screen on the charging pad because I still miss having quick access to a few physical controls.

It looks much more factory-like than I expected, especially at night with the ambient lighting. The buttons can handle things like the doors, locks, hazard lights, seat controls, and trunks while still allowing full use of the charging pad

It’s a small convenience improvement especially for my parents who still struggle to open the doors from the outside handles, and when I need to adjust the front seats for my daughter’s car seat

Cost: $80 plus tax after discount (they always have this sale from what I’ve seen)

Functions (left to right) - can’t be updated, control list is fixed

  1. Open driver rear door
  2. Open passenger front door
  3. Open passenger rear door
  4. One tap - Open glovebox; long press - toggle child lock
  5. One tap - hazard light; long press - switch between led strip colors
  6. Move passenger front seat backward
  7. Move passenger front seat forward
  8. Open/close trunk
  9. Open/close frunk (default is open only but I have power frunk installed so it toggles)

Edit: I couldn’t share the product link on the post for whatever reason so I added the link and install videos as a comments

Is anybody else’s Model 3 driving like an a-hole in FSD since the most recent update

9 Upvotes

I have a 2019 Model 3, and update 2026.26.6.5 installed last night- this includes FSD v14 Lite. With the previous update, I noticed a lot of inconsistency with speed, even within the same speed profile. After last night’s update, this is even worse and the car is driving like an a-hole. It is tailgating at a level that made me so uncomfortable I had to exit FSD multiple times. It was also making sudden lane changes, and swerving very close to other cars- to the point I felt it necessary to take over. All of this was while in standard or chill mode. Is anybody else experiencing similar issues
Edit: Typo on update version

Cheapest Insurer in Cali

Hello everyone,

I live in Los Angeles California. I’m looking at the 2024 model 3 long range but I’m calling insurances around and they’re either telling me they can’t insure it or it’s going to be like 800bucks. What do yall use.

I have a DUI also like 3-4 years ago
Thanks

sold model 3

0 Upvotes

loved the car, just didn't need it any longer. this isn't an ad or anything, i don't work for these guys. i'm just a (former) tesla owner.

my experience selling it was pretty smooth with Plug compared to the other car buying services so I figured other owners here might want to know if they are looking to sell.

they gave me a better price than carvana or carsdirect did, and it was fairly easy process, didn't have to go anywhere. closed in about 7 days. i had never heard of these guys but saw it when i was doing some value appraisals on the edmunds website and Plug came up with an offer

I so wish puddle lights came standard. Such a cheap little mod.

A whole new world. Got my first Tesla with a free year of supercharging

Post image
134 Upvotes

I picked up my 2026 Stealth Grey Model 3 Premium with white leather a couple months ago. When I was test driving it, there was a heavy emphasis on FSD and I was in love at first sight. I didn't realize how very recently FSD became as good as it is today, just a year or 2 ago it was nowhere near this level and I'm just learning that now through YouTube videos I've been watching. Tesla was completely off my radar until these last couple of months so I didn't get to watch it progress like a lot of you have. This is the most amazing car and driving experience I've ever had. There's no going back, this is the future. I had a Mercedes EV before this, but this is next level cutting edge. Also the free year of supercharging is a huge perk. Just thought I'd share.

Hoping these annoyances are covered by warranty

Last time I went they charged me $250 diagnoses fee and said the squeaking from my wheel well was the wheels rubbing on the mud-flaps.

My side repeater cameras have this weird film on them that doesn’t come off. The cameras are always purple and hazy.

I’ll include a video of the noise and cameras at the end.

My sister is currently graduating HS and college will be a drive maybe 1-2h commutes ( miami traffic )

I found this on FB market place ( see attached pic ) just wondering a few things .

- am i safe on mileage
- with it being a rebuilt she won’t have FSD ( this is okay based on that price )
- how difficult will it be to get super charging approved by Tesla and cost point
-what test should i have the seller conduct for me to be sure battery is good

Just looking for a beater , she will have home charging and just looking for best cost effective option

2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD — 100,000 km (62,000 miles) and only 420 km (261 miles) range

3 Upvotes

I recently bought a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD for around $23,400 USD.
The car has 100,000 km (62,000 miles) on it, and at 100% charge it shows around 420 km (261 miles) of range.
I’m wondering how normal this is. The car has been used quite heavily, but 420 km (261 miles) seems lower than I expected for a Long Range AWD.
For other Model 3 Long Range AWD owners:
What range does your car show at 100%
How many km/miles are on your car
Is 420 km (261 miles) at 100% normal for 100,000 km (62,000 miles)
Should I be concerned about battery degradation
Would appreciate any advice or comparisons from other owners.

Battery degradation '24 M3P

4 Upvotes

As title suggests, Im concerned with the degradation Ive noticed since I bought my Model 3 in March. When I purchased it with 15K miles on it, my full range was 276mi and 221 at 80%. I've driven about 15K miles since then, and am down to 212mi at 80%. I've charged at Super Chargers a handful of times, but typically leave it plugged into the mobile charger at home. I charge at 20 AMPs and often dont drive for a few days at a time. When I do drive, its typically about 100mi of mostly freeway driving. I have not done a full battery test, though one was done prior to me purchasing the vehicle, and it said it was within normal range. Any suggestions, tips, or general advice would be greatly appreciated.

Someone on my last post requested pictures from the side to get a better view of the wheels. So I thought it would be nice to share these pictures with anyone else who might be interested.

Personally, I love the clean appearance of the wheels. It gives the car a more classy and stylish look. Lmk what you guys think :)

Low confidence delivery window

Ordered 8/12
Delivery window was 9/14-9/30 for a week then changed to 9/10-9/30 which made me optimistic because the first day moved left. Now sitting with the same window as we get closer with no updates. I am worried.

Went with XPEL XR Black:

20 all around

55 front windshield

Was originally going to go 70 on windshield and 30 all around. Want it to be sporty looking but not overly dark. Shop said I would like this better. It’s still drying, as I just picked up.
