Tesla model 3 - Brand new tyre replaced within first month

• Upvotes

I have a Tesla Model 3 and noticed the car pulling to the right with a wobbly feel, which seemed unsafe at speeds above 120 kmph.

Tesla inspected it using a road force test and identified a tyre issue, so they replaced it with a brand-new unit.

Wheel balancing and alignment were completed, and the car now runs smoothly.

Best part no cost.

Join the Resistance. Always Select “Parking”

0 Upvotes

Tired of being a “data labeler” for Tesla. This pop-up is annoying and we need to resist it together.

Lets always select Parking here to mess their data collection.

UPDATE: Based on all comments, it seems that Critical is the better option.

ALWAYS SELECT “CRITICAL” and join the resistance ✊🏼

Crossflow wheel cover damaging

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I just recently removed my Crossflow wheel covers from my 2026 Tesla Model Y with 47, xxx miles and noticed scratches on each wheel. These scratches are a direct result of the tabs on the wheel covers. I took it to Tesla thinking it would be covered under warranty. They confirmed that there were no outside influences that could have caused it and it was caused by the wheel covers. They told me that this type of cosmetic damage is not covered under warranty. It does not seem logical to me that a defect in their design would not be covered under warranty. I share they with the group as a PSA and get advise.

Model 3 Premium changed my mind.

18 Upvotes

I bought a new 2026 model 3 premium end of May. Previously I didn't want an electric car. I have a diesel truck with 350k miles, ride dirt bikes, MTB, pull a big trailer and never thought an electric car was in my radar. At 61, I have had many gas cars from Lexus to Toyota the most recent my dad's Prius since he couldn't drive anymore. Well the Prius died and with diesel $8/gal I just happened to look at the Tesla website. I looked at the Model 3 and the Premium had 1 year free supercharging, .99% financing and a free month of FSD. So I booked a test drive and at the end of the test drive opened my phone and ordered a new one. So easy I could not believe it. I played with the FSD for a month and while it was cool and basically error free in So Cal on busy freeways, in town etc I didn't renew it due to $100/month. Then over labor day weekend my girlfriend and I drove to Oregon and took the Tesla for fun and ordered the FSD. 14 hours sat to Oregon, visited Sunday, 14 hours back Monday and I though Tuesday would be miserable. Amazingly we were both fresh on arriving in Oregon and at home. The self drive was flawless there and back, through construction zones, flaggers, etc. The routing of the Superchargers was amazing and worry free, and the drive cost me nothing there and back instead of $800+ in my truck. Overall I love this car. Super quiet, super fast, I love the minimal design of the dash an overall vehicle. Charging is no big deal. When my free SC is over I will charge at my office or home but for now its no big deal and I look forward to the 20-25 minutes a few times a week to read in the car while charging. I can't say enough good about the car and I was definitely a skeptic before. My only complaint is $100/month for FSD, at $50 Im all in but for long drives will spring for it for sure. So glad I bought this car.

Day 3003 of Model 3 ownership and Auto Wipers are worse than ever (v14.3 Lite)

3 Upvotes

Just got v14.3 lite on a 2018 Model 3 and twice today on a rainy day I found myself in underground parking garages with auto wipers fully on the entire time. When I pulled into a parking spot they finally backed off from fully on to intermittent but still continued to run while i sat in a parking spot in an underground parking garage. Only when I put it in Park did they stop. I love my 8 year old Tesla and it’s not our only Tesla but holy smokes it is pathetic. The only thing worse than the auto wiper functionality is Tesla’s 8-year-running refusal to simply admit reality or pay out the nominal license fee to use a proper sensor.

Tesla engineers have had over 8 years to figure this out. How long before they are willing to admit failure and actually solve the problem?

New update came out last night and I’m hesitant to do it. If there’s say a school zone or speed camera I liked adjusting the max speed manually.

Intel Tesla owners deserve a simplified Halloween Mode, especially when Santa Mode already works

Post image
53 Upvotes

My 2020 Model 3 can run Santa Mode with a sleigh, reindeer, and holiday visuals, but apparently a Halloween ghost is too much?

I understand AMD Ryzen is significantly more powerful than Intel Atom. I’m not asking for the full graphics-heavy experience.

But why can’t older vehicles receive basic Halloween wraps, spooky lock sounds, a static ghost costume, or a simplified Halloween visualization?

These cars are still receiving software updates. Some of us are also paying monthly for FSD.

I can’t be the only Intel owner who finds this disappointing.

Tesla Roadside Towing Damage

My 2015 Model S P90D recently went into limp/low power mode about 1 ½ months ago, after coming home from a drive. Thankfully all the alerts occurred essentially at my driveway. It then suddenly fully shutdown despite there being 88 miles of range left.

Fast forward to this day when I had the appointment at the Service Center: They sent their own tow to my house and...well you decide:

What exactly are my options?

The new Unreal update for HW3 is GREAT.

Late 2022 Model Y Performance. Added a second photo for comparison. Update log mentioned nothing of the sort, it was just the halloween and supercharger update.

It runs at a buttery smooth 60 FPS and it looks great honestly. Incredible that they went out of their way to do this for models they haven't sold in years, most manufacturers would gatekeep it for their latest facelifts.

Why do you think this is the case specifically for intel model x and s? To my understanding AMD model s and x have these features. This is reported from the “not a Tesla app” website

FSD just does not get parking lots

16 Upvotes

I've given up allowing FSD to choose a parking spot. It's just insane.

Similar, but different, last night it missed the turn to the entrance to our hotel and decided to pull into the parking lot of the strip mall in front of the hotel and then drive back to the entrance road. The problem was that it was not one continuous parking lot. There was a separation between two lots with two curbs and FSD started to drive over them when I hit the brake. I ruled it critical.

Playing with the image reveals the text "WHERE WE'RE GOING..." which could be reference to Back to the Future when Doc says "Where we're going, we don't need roads"

Then Elon gives the clue of "Timing is everything". Going off that, 7:55PM in military time is 1955. Which is the year Marty travels too in the movie...

Glad I Bought the Juniper!

0 Upvotes

Happy that I bought my Tesla Model Y Juniper before the tax credit ended last year! Back then, people kept saying prices would drop, demand would slow down, and all that blah blah blah.

Fast forward to now, and we're seeing huge demand for EVs, especially Teslas, with inventory getting wiped out.

And with Robotaxi, FSD advancements, and so many new features on the horizon, the possibilities are practically limitless! 🚀⚡

Glad I trusted my gut and pulled the trigger when I did! 😎

Wanting to ask the Navigation why it changed the route

I'm hoping that someday, I'll be able to ask Grok why the Navigation modified a route. We were driving down a back road and then the Nav sent us over a block to a smaller street for two blocks and then back to the main road. Weird! LOL

Lookup battery health on any new Tesla by VIN

0 Upvotes

Saw a post about this on Fb just now, there's a site (BatteryFigures . com) where you can lookup battery health by the cars VIN on cars you do not even own.

I've tested a few and it seams like newer models work, old don't have battery data.
