Clean the radiator

Brilliant whipski! I love rainbow road! The toybox is full of fun little things, you can change the lock sound and the horn (but only in park,) and you can play music out of the hood too with the megaphone. Please enjoy it!!!!

Great choice!

Congrats! It’s an amazing car. Keep the climate on auto and get some high quality ceramic tint. Also make sure to get an SSD to set up sentry mode and your dash cam. If you aren’t going to use summon, turn it off in the settings otherwise it’ll drain your battery.

Enjoy! The 3 is a blast to drive. A pocket rocket.

we are car model & color twins!! good choice !!

Replace cabin filters asap, clean radiator.

Who posted this? The car?

And replace the cabin air filters

I completely understand what you’re saying. I find excuses all the time to drive mine as well. 15k miles in 7 months. I feel like people don’t realize how special it is owning a Tesla until you have one.

I second you, bought one 2 weeks ago. I just find excuses to drive lol.

Oh my gosh, I have 10k after 5 months 😆 poor car hasn’t gotten a BREAK

Don’t get confused and replace the radiator!

What’s the context here? Thanks

Headlights give away that it’s an older model

Makes sense 👌

Get a oil change every 15k Km.

Service the water pump first off, and top off the hydraulic fluid reservoir in the frunk

Congratulations!!!

Yeah oil and filter change is a must. Also nothing less than premium gas.

I still feel like this and I’ve had mine for a year already.. I also have a x1 and just driven it two to three times since I got mine. Lol

Was a bit of a surprise the first time the air smelled like shit coming out of the vents

same! 😭

I did mine twice already in the past year and the air still smells funny 😡

What's with the advice to keep the climate on auto? I live in a place where winters are really cold, I jack things up to max defrost whenever I'm 10 minutes away from getting into the car. I keep the heat on pretty warm, and roll down the window when I want some cool air.

Congratulations!!

Think it’s because the car is pretty good at deciding what the car needs (ac on or off, which way the air wil flow etc.). I tried manual for a long time, but I keep putting it back on auto low. Far easier this way.

it's because of a poor design that lets water seep in or condense which gets wicked up by the bottom air filter you can 3D print a spacer that all but solves the problem

the 128GB USB that came with mine seems to do a good enough job being the sentry mode and dash cam drive

Did you clean your condenser with something like Cool It foam when you did the filters?

At least familiarize yourself with the owner's manual. Not a sexy, fun tip - but there's a lot of good answers in there. Plus, there's a lot fewer stupid jokes about oil changes.

I’m 14 months into my Model 3 ownership and I still look forward to every drive.

Yes both times

Never heard anyone mention doing these before! Or is this a joke lol

Yeah I was attempting to troll. But I Looked it up though and those are actual things somehow I guess

I’ve only heard of replacing the filter and radiator clean maybe , no idea on the rest lol

Easy now, first check the service history before jumping right in to buying parts lol

Most people neglect the exhaust solenoid assembly as well. This can cause catastrophic failure if not serviced at teslas recommended intervals. Don’t be that guy.

Chill mode / Joe mode - done

Well if it already came with one then yeah you don’t need another haha

Putting the car on defrost or defog doesn’t take it out of auto. The manual mode is good sometimes to put air where you want it (like on your feet if they’re really cold), but for the most part auto optimizes the airflow great.

Ayy! Got mine 2 weeks ago as well (Same model). Congrats!

👀🤣🤣

how do you know they’ve not been changed

Nah auto is best for hot and cold places. Keep at 69 or 70 all year. If you need to melt ice or snow that's a different story.

What took you sooooo long? There is nothing to do, just enjoy. There is no car (daily driver) on earth better than what you have there. The only thing is to sort home charging if that’s not already sorted. From all indications you’re not doing frequent long distance so, your normal plug you use for your electric cooker is very okay - just plug overnight. Just enjoy, it’s the easiest and simplest car on earth - don’t let them confuse with jargon

How do you find out if they haven’t?

Hey girl

I feel like I’m the only one where summon doesn’t waste my battery? If sentry is off the car sleeps, otherwise normal battery drainage throughout the day.

Wow, so good looking with a nice car! i added the S3XY Commander, Strip, Knob and some buttons to mine. I will probably remove the knob again, as I consider it superfluous and find its appearance distracting, but the buttons (especially the two on the back of the steering wheel in 3D-printed shift pedal housings) are very comfortable, and the S3XY strip also looks really good and does what it's supposed to do. I also added a 2TB SSD to the USB Port in the glovebox, got the roof and rear windows tinted, added a LED Strip to the frunk for proper lighting, and replaced the LEDs in the trunk for better light in it. As i am from Europe i added some deep plastic trays for the footwell in winter, as well as in the trunk. Have lots of fun with your new ride!

Sentry mode drains the battery

There are open vents underneath the front seats that will allow things like marbles or other items to roll or fall in. Amazon sells them relatively cheaply so I would advise getting them ASAP.

I've done 20k miles in 7 months for me

Don't forget to do an oil change ever 6 months... lol, just kidding Enjoy the amazing ride!

Don't blow a gasket either

Best color hands down. Congrats
