Interesting to see the changes.
id like the stalkless approach.
I like the screen swipe for D and P, R.
I don’t want a yolk wheel though.
Telsa now offering yoke/circular wheel for countries where yoke not legal I hear
For those that have M3's already. Did you use a screen protector or for those that didn't any regrets that you didn't use one ?
Ta.
I use one for the fingerprints alone. My kids lick the screen, or so it looks like at times.
You run with Matt finish or regular ?
I got one of these:- spigen tesla model 3 matt screen protector.
It was €43 plus €5 postage from Spigen in Poland.
It was more expensive than others but very easy to align and fit.
3 years with Tesla, never a need for screen protector, do no harm but no issues or damage to date
No grabbers anymore and haven’t bothered with protector. Don’t think I will either.
One year with Tesla Model 3, I've not used a screen protector and so far, so good. The screen does need a wipe every now and again, once the fingerprints become too distracting.
Hatch won't happen as the beam holding the liftgate hinges would be exactly where the rear passenger heads are. I still think that the car was supposed to be a liftgate like a Model S but packaging turned out to be impossible. The Y is sufficiently higher to accommodate this.
I have one of these from Amazon. Washable and resealable apparently - But Ive never had the need to take it off & its a perfect fit. Also doesnt show the fingerprints which is a bonus. Does have a small logo at the bottom but doesnt worry me.
I wanted a matte finish as I found I was getting bad sun glare reflections off the screen around sunrise/sunsets when heading east/west at certain times on the motorways.

If an order is placed for a Model 3 and delivery is expected Apr/May, is it likely the car is already built or it could it be built after the the tooling change?
I went with matt screen protector. The small cost is worth it. Less finger prints and offers some protection. Better the protector is damaged than the screen which didn't have a protector. Its grand until it isn't.
It's likely already on the boat for next month
I ordered at the end of October 2020 and took delivery in December 2020.
The car I received ended up being the 2021 refresh model - that I wasnt expecting at all.
But they were not tooling changes, the refresh could be structural casting improvement, we simply don't know
Not sure if anyone has any experience with this, but when I went to place my order it turned out I already had a Tesla account. I've wanted this car for like 3 years but I genuinely have no idea when, or for what reason I would have created an account.
Either way, I moved house last month, but my order went through on my old address. The bank can't proceed with my loan offer without having an order agreement with my current address on it. I called Tesla today and they said no problem, that they changed it on my order agreement. But hours later it's still showing the old one.
Would this take a few days to reflect? Or am I best off calling Tesla back tomorrow?
Call back.
What updates did the 2023 M3 get over a 2023 M3 (RWD for both).
Newer suspension, removal of the parking sensors, anything else?
They are the exact same....
The Tesla app can be used to locate the car if there is mobile signal there at the time of inquiry. The tracking does not store any historical data so if the car was towed somewhere underground and you didn't happen to refresh the location while this was happening you are out of luck.
I've put it as a no. How much would having one reduce your premium by? And what's your potential loss if the insurance company try to use it as a wriggle out clause in the event of it being stolen?
Guys, quick one, best option for tolls?
Say No.
It can be tracked but it doesn’t have a tracker in the traditional sense. The insurance companies haven’t copped on to the inbuilt systems. They will still ask for a thatcham approved tracker.
Easier to say no.
TollTag.ie IMO
Auto High Beam lights are horrible but lights overall are one of the best on the market in my opinion.
Find the autobeams good since the update in December, had them turned off for 2yrs before that
Fixed with last update, grand now
Anyone already with the M3 how bad are the auto wipers? Anything I've seen mentioned on them has been negative.
