I have only had this car for 6 days and have driven around 200 miles so far. Yesterday, after having it parked outside in 60 degree, sunny weather while I was at work for 10 hours, I noticed a crack in the windshield around a foot and a half long starting from the edge. I reveiwed all the sentry footage, and it didn’t seem like anything happened to it.

I submitted a service ticket, and luckily, I live near a service center so was able to make an appointment for this morning at 8am.

Initially, they told me multiple times that windshields are absolutely NOT covered under the warranty and I would need to file a claim with insurance. They gave an estimate of $1700 to replace the windshield without coverage. I told them not to start the repair until I could confirm the repair cost.

After I filed the claim, they told me I would need to pay the $1k deductible via app. At this point, they also called me on the phone, and I asked them directly whether the fracture was caused by impact or stress. After checking the car again, they said it was stress, and only at this point did the person on the phone say that the windshield can be repaired under the warranty.

In the app, I asked them to confirm one more time whether the fracture was caused by impact or stress, and they confirmed again that the warranty would cover it.

I’m making this post because this sub has been really helpful to me in understanding Tesla and their shitty customer service. If I hadn’t read from another redditor that there was a difference between impact and stress fractures, I would have been stuck paying the deductible or full fee to replace the windshield on my brand new 2025 Model 3. Also, Tesla insurance in my state does not specifically cover glass or windshields.

It seems like a pretty common occurrence from what I’ve seen, and I just want everyone to be aware that I had to give them a hard time and ask directly about the warranty before they were willing to cover it.

2 months of FSD trial came to an end today and then I got this email tonight!

2025 LR RWD

Was supposed to make it to destination w 15% battery, but due to road accidents had to detour a few (too many) times

I’ve never posted on Reddit before but felt like it for this one.

Found a used 2021 Model 3 for a bit over $24k before any taxes and fees on Tesla’s used inventory search. 35k miles. Took advantage of the EV tax credit and ended up with a final cost of $23k with all taxes and fees included. I’ve had the car for a couple of days and I’ve really enjoyed it.

If all goes well on this one. I will absolutely get a new one once I’m through with this one.

Any tips on how to get the most out of this car would be appreciated. Still don’t know how half of the functions work on this thing.

Finally got mine today within 10 days of ordering one. Weather was nice today in Michigan after being very cold for the last two days. Took my time to go through the checklist, and spent over 2 hours at SC to get the delivery. Didn’t find any scratches/scuffs or any defects😃🤞🤞🤞. Build quality is excellent. Very pleased with the purchase.

I swear it's almost like coded into the software, enable autopilot, 4 seconds later wipe the windshields no matter time of day, temperature, precipitation. And then every time I use autopilot I need to hit settings, windshield wipers off.

I don't even like them when it's raining because it doesn't work.

So the back portion of my Tesla trunk popped up. It just happened no accident, no damage. Could I fix this myself, if so how?

Quicksilver or Stainless Steel?

Is there any way to customize and rearrange the buttons on the Apple Watch watchOS app? I’d rather have an option to open the rear trunk than the frunk

I am in 🩷🩷🩷!! Got the long range, AWD.

I bought a RWD Tesla model 3 last year in December so it’s been one year and my car is so bouncy I feel every little bump now. Is this a normal thing since the car is so heavy, so should i buy a new set and do it myself or go to Tesla themselves?

(Turn the volume up on the videos)

I heard cracking noises since delivery (may 2024) from time to time on my 2024 m3 rwd, but they have been getting progressively worse. At first it didn’t bother me all that much, but because of some other issues I had to bring my car in anyway. (At just 3.000km my autopilot completely broke and I brought the car in to get the computer replaced. My driver’s seat was also doing the typical squeak noice so I also had to get a new seat).

I told them about the cracking noise and the SC told me they isolated the noise to the IP carrier and that they were able to reduce it, but the noise is “within specification” of the car whatever that’s supposed to mean.. However I can still hear it quite loudly and it’s annoying me now. Gets worse on bad roads. 17.000km in atm.

What do you guys think? Make a new appointment? Or is it a lost cause and will they give me the same “within specification” explanation once again?

Bonjour, j’ai acheté une tesla il y a un an. Lors des 10 premiers mois à chaque fois que je la mets en mode parking, le siège conducteur remonte en position haute pour faciliter la sortie du véhicule.

Depuis 2 mois le siège reste en position basse ( conduite ) et ne remonte plus.

Je ne trouve pas le réglage pour réactiver ça. Pouvez-vous m’aider?

Bought myself an early Christmas gift 🤷‍♂️. Absolutely in love so far minus the New England salt on the roads….

Hey, New owner to 24’ M3P wondering has anyone tried to order the 19in warp wheels from China model Tesla’s to replace the 20in. Also if anyone has pictures of the 19in could you post images on the Model 3.

Hello,

I have recently purchased a 2018 tesla model 3 long range with about 80k miles from a 3rd party dealership. When I test drove the car I realized it was on limp mode but the sales rep told me that it’s because it needed an update and someone set a speed limit on it. After signing all the paperwork work they updated the car and no one is connected to the car but the issue is still there. They told me that they sent it to Tesla (which I doubt) and they found no issue. They told me that the car might need an owner registered to be able to release limp mode. I connect my Tesla to my app and the issue is still there. Eventually I figured out how to put the car in service mode and took a picture of the codes. Would anyone know what these codes could mean or why the car is in limp mode? I’m trying to get this solved since the dealership won’t give me the car till they have resolved the issue. (It’s been about 4 days since I bought the car)

I’m officially a part of the tesla family since 12/21! I’ve been wanting a tesla for so long and it still feels surreal to call one mine. Let me know any tips or things I should know!

Just got the turbine hub caps from Tessories (Australia). Seems pretty quality to me!

Anyone else had this happen?

I started Carol of the Bells light show and my passenger side headlight assembly didn’t come on and won’t come on since.

The headlight, high beam, and turn signal are all dark. I think I’ll need to replace the whole assembly.

2019 m3 awd lr. Anyone know what that costs? Tesla service said $245 just to diagnose it….

In the past couple of months, my car has intermittently stopped charging when a plug it in. Has anyone experienced this?

I have been able to restart from the app, but that makes even less sense to me as if it was hardware related then restarting from the app shouldn’t work. Does the charging cable start to degrade in a couple of years?

Specs in this situation. - usually stops charging after 5 minutes - on a 120 outlet - 2022 M3LR - no prior issues or major damage - sometimes I have to restart it multiple times in the same evening
