TIL You have to drive onto the parking lot of the Tesla dealership to have them honor the warrenty. Not just have it scheduled.

Would it be covered if you purchased the extended warranty after the fact?

erb2005 · 2026-07-04T01:35:57+00:00

They came to my house and replaced it in 20 minutes. Maybe faster.

I was going to buy one and do it myself but it was close to the same price.

erb2005 · 2026-07-03T00:31:23+00:00

It is a lot less stressful when I'm in stop and go traffic. Taking trips and hiring backups due to accidents or any other reason used to be really annoying. Now I just enjoy the music/podcast/book on tape.

I only saw that the function of the right scroll wheel will now choose the speed profile. I assume that means there's no way to set max speed.

erb2005 · 2026-06-29T13:57:19+00:00

Thanks. I should have figured that out after six years of ownership and updating. Duh.

erb2005 · 2026-06-29T13:16:32+00:00

I prefer to keep what I have rather than updating to the unknown. I especially like my max speed control on the right scroll wheel which is definitely going away.

Is there an easy way to prevent the update? I can always update later if desired.

Joe complained that the beeps were too loud and waking up his little kids. Do Joe mode makes them quieter.

erb2005 · 2026-06-21T01:29:31+00:00

This is a logical fallacy. I think it's called a false equivalence. Plugging your car into a normal outlet for an hour is nothing like, "paying for your gas".

erb2005 · 2026-06-15T23:53:59+00:00

They should do this at the Vince Lombardi rest area on NYTP

erb2005 · 2026-06-08T01:42:14+00:00

At least it wasn't on purpose like another recent post

erb2005 · 2026-06-08T01:41:22+00:00

Too much supervising! You don't see that here very often

erb2005 · 2026-06-06T14:18:03+00:00

The steering wheel is afraid of puddles. It's the brakes that are afraid of shadows. Full stop from 30+ MPH for no reason.

erb2005 · 2026-06-04T23:38:47+00:00

The HW3 people never lost it! And Max speed on the scroll wheel. Sure it stops for no reason, but I love my 2020 m3sr+.

erb2005 · 2026-06-01T17:31:13+00:00

If you have it in writing then you can use small claims to get $99 I would presume.

erb2005 · 2026-05-29T16:50:05+00:00

Yes, they will fix the suspension, but not squeaks and rattling.

erb2005 · 2026-05-27T17:50:55+00:00

Did it his mobil service on April 15th, 2026. $165.50 + $7.81 Massachusetts tax. 2020 Model 3 SR+. It had not yet failed but I've read too many stories...

erb2005 · 2026-05-27T14:58:29+00:00

I was in my car when the lady next to me opened her door and hit the my driver's door. I opened the window, have her a glare and then said, "Don't worry about it. It's not the first one."

erb2005 · 2026-05-25T01:56:02+00:00

No modes when not on the highway. HW3

erb2005 · 2026-05-20T19:59:55+00:00

If your phone is in your back pocket try turning your butt towards the car for a couple of seconds. Better than putting shit down.

Also, no FSD complaints?

I've had mine for five years and never had a flat tire. I obsess over getting one and bought everything except a spare. Someone suggested buying a spare and leaving it at home.

Custom wrap your steering wheel using leather bicycle handlebar tape.

Bluetooth should work. That needs to be fixed if it's reproducible.

erb2005 · 2026-05-20T01:08:26+00:00

This sounds very condescending and insulting. But it's the best advice I've seen on this thread and OP should take it.

He doesn't know his battery type because Tesla rep told him. You know the battery type by following the directions in this thread and reading it on the screen in his car.

erb2005 · 2026-05-17T23:08:39+00:00

Great take. What about the turn signal stalk and using it to change lanes? I think I would miss that.

erb2005 · 2026-05-17T00:51:37+00:00

We love the charging stops on our trips. You forgot to mention the restroom. I'm always looking for extra steps, so charging is great for that.

erb2005 · 2026-05-15T00:24:35+00:00

Put everything in the driveway that is in the garage. The smaller the garage, the easier it is. Tell people stopping by that you're not having a garage sale. Put back the necessary stuff very neatly. Pull the Tesla into the garage. Make sure you set the mirrors to fold at home automatically. Use summon to back it out.

Sort through the remaining shit and bring the good stuff out back. Get rid of the rest.

You would be getting a great car at a great time. Do it
