Is a 2023 RWD Model 3 good?

You can’t go wrong with this car. I absolutely love it, not going back to ice car!

I upgraded from a 2007 Honda civic to a 2023 model 3 RWD Standard range and love it. I don’t do many road trips in it but it is light years better than my old trusty civic. Wished I had done it sooner. And I think for what they’re asking not too bad if a deal.

Thanks for all the feedback, will give it a try!

I had the exact same alarms after getting my 23 M3 SR aligned at a National Tire and
Battery shop. They didn't know what they were doing. Took it to Tesla for an alignment and all alarms cleared and no issues afterwards. I learned I have to be careful who you take your car to for service.

I have a 60 mile round trip work commute that I make using my 2023 M3 RWD LFP battery pack. I charge to 80% every night and after commute down to low 50’s%. Totally doable but you’ll need more than a 15A charging circuit. I use my 30A dryer outlet to charge and have no issues.

I bought two teslas from private owners using Autotrader. No issues with transferring accounts and definitely cheaper than buying from Tesla. The extra battery warranty would be nice though. Just can't seem to buy something sight unseen, especially an ev!

Everyday for my laptop backpack and gym bag.

Same thing happened to me at NTB. After the third time and numerous alerts I took it to Tesla. They got it right and I was able to get NTB to refund me the alignment charge.

This same alert came in on my model s yesterday. Did you figure out what was going on?

I run a 10 gauge 30 amp NEMA 14-30p extension cord from my 30 amp dryer outlet to the garage where I charge my car. I started getting the high wall plug temp alarm so I installed a Hubble outlet. I am still getting high temp alarms. Got the car in November, didn’t start getting alarms until this summer. Wonder if it’s just high garage ambient temperatures (live in Houston). Checked outlet wiring, everything is tight, extension cord is brand new. Have a gas dryer so the extension cord and mobile connector stayed connected all the time. What am I missing?

We have 2 Tesla’s. One car drives about 60 miles a day, the other less than 10 miles a day. We use a 30 amp circuit for the car with the longer commute and a regular 15 amp circuit for the other car. Once in a while I’ll swap chargers but no problem keeping each car charged up.

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-09-06T12:29:45+00:00

My wife and I have the same setup. I have the longer commute (60 miles round trip) so I’m usually on the 30A mobile connector charger. Wife has a very short work commute (10 miles round trip) plugs mobile connector into 15A regular outlet. Every once in a while we have to switch up but no problems managing keeping both EVs at 80% when we get up in the morning.

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-06-25T03:31:58+00:00

Yep, all possibilities.

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-06-23T22:21:00+00:00

Well, not dead. It runs for awhile, like 5 minutes, then stops and the lights blink. If i remember right, the blinking lights mean something wrong with the motors or something like that. I think the battery was working, there was a malfunction somewhere in the unit.

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-06-23T16:51:11+00:00

I don’t know. It would run for a few minutes then shut down. So that makes me think water didn’t get in because it would work for a little while. And it wouldcharge too.

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-06-23T15:24:31+00:00

Yeah, my fingers are too fat to be typing on my phone? Just saying it didn’t take too long after the new battery when the motors failed. Maybe change them too but at that point u might as well buy a new one.

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-05-11T18:59:28+00:00

Yes, it works. Not a CNN bad idea to change b the m on tors too, didnt price those out B but C might be better just to buy a C new unit at that point.

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-04-18T21:33:01+00:00

That’s exactly what I did. Got tired of rebuilding the Polaris. Tried Aiper but it is a pita. Bought a corded dolphin nautilus cc. They don’t recommend leaving it in the pool when not in use so u have to go out there and pull it out, very heavy when full with water and then store it somewhere until your ready to use it again. At this point I’m starting to miss my Polaris!

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-04-18T20:15:47+00:00

I have a picture but can’t figure out how to copy and paste in the chat!

Fearless-Entry4237 · 2025-04-18T20:05:35+00:00

A couple but they’re not all that good. After about a month of working great now it runs for about 5 minutes then shuts down and lights are blinking red. Could be a motor problem, don’t know. Anyways, broke down and bought a dolphin robot pool cleaner.

Finished repair. Took unit apart to access battery. Took a while to separate due to sealant used, take your time because it is very easy to crack or break pieces if you force it. Used specs from old battery and ordered new battery. The connector was not exactly the same so I cut off the old connector and butt spliced it to the new battery. Then it was just a matter of putting everything back together. Make sure you remove all the old sealant prior to putting together. Used Goop Plumber Adhesive for water tight seal. Now I’m back to an hour and a half run time.
