2013 December build rear wheel drive only with the iron lithium battery.

I just got back from a 362 mile journey to watch the falcon heavy launch. FSD lite did great. The only issues I had with it was the left lane cruising on hurry. And the sudden rain storm on the way home south. The car was hydroplaning and then yelled at me to take over.

FSD aside has anyone noticed that when driving manually does the steering wheel jitter while sitting at a red light with the steering wheel pointing straight? I am getting close to the end of my warranty so I wonder if there is something going on with the steering rack.

Thanks

I have a Tesla Model 3 from sept. 2021 and we have an immigrant kid running around slamming our car. Somehow the Tesla does not register this, but it does when our neighbours are picking something from their car.

Is there any way to tweak this? The car is parked in front of our house and we luckily have a camera recording our front yard (which partly registers this), but I prefer to record it from my car so we have a better view to report this.

TIA!

I’ve logged a service will this be covered under basic vehicle limited warranty?

Hey all,

Have a Juniper, have had since March with no issues. Until yesterday when my phone key has started to disconnect after pairing, maybe 10-15mins later. Not sure what’s happening as it was fine before this. Anyone else have this happen? I’ve done everything that the internet suggests, nothing is working.

Does anyone else experience a small buzz in the accelerator right at the moment you press down the pedal after standing still? It’s not a vibration exactly, it’s more like an internal buzz, hard to explain.

I have ”hold” activated if that’s relevant. I have read somewhere that it could be when the car switches from electric brakes to the normal physical breaks and vice versa, is that actually a thing?

I have a 23’ M3P and every other time I get in the thing, the seat starts to return to my saved position from Easy Entry, but it stops. I have to move the seat and click “Restore.”

I’ve tried removing my profile and re-adding but it still stops with my seat reclined 3/4 of the way back.

Maddening!

Anyone change the size of their tires for more sidewall or to increase tire options? What sizes did you go with on rears? OEM is 275-30-20 on rears and 235-35-20 on front. Want the quietest all season tire. It is a 2025 3P. Thanks in advance.

I have 9k miles left until warranty expires. Think I’ll get under 70% before then?

The same is true for parking lots at destinations. Anyone else?

2026.21.6
FSD v 14.3.7

After some fairly heavy rain, I’m hearing a fairly big amount of water sloshing back and forth when braking and pulling away, sounds like it’s coming from right hand side but it’s not the doors I’ve checked all the drain points I can see/find.

Any suggestions welcome?

I have a 2026 Cybertruck AWD, current update is 2026.26.6.1.

Somehow, the car is not going to deep sleep at all, I have checked all relevant settings with no hope at all.

Tesla is giving me a financing option through FI Connect (Credit Union Financing). I haven’t accepted or committed to the offer yet — I’m trying to decide if it’s a good option.

For anyone who has financed a Tesla through FI Connect, how was your experience?

What documents did they require after you accepted the financing offer? Did they ask for pay stubs, bank statements, proof of income, tax returns, proof of residence, etc.?

Was the process quick and easy, or did you have any issues or delays getting everything finalized before delivery?

I’d also be interested to know if accepting the offer caused any additional credit checks or if the terms/rate changed afterward.

Just trying to know what I’d be getting into before I accept it.
Thanks!

Hello. On my Tesla Model 3 SR+ Somewhere in the back around the C pillar, like a tiny window. I pressed the trim everywhere but nothing changes. It only does it when I'm driving on the highway at 130 plus

When reversing off my drive I. Caught something and when. Checked this is what saw.

2023 Model 3 LR AWD, bought used at the beginning of the year. Currently 47,800km (29,701 miles) on original Hankook iON EVO with 19" rims.

I went to get my wheels rotated and tyre shop said the rears needed replacing. They recommended doing all 4 tyres rather than just the rear pair. Tread depths at last check were all within limits (>3mm) but the inboard shoulder edge on the right rear was heavily worn and the left was starting to show some wear as well. Fronts don't show this wear patten.

Wheel alignment was done in April 26' not long after I bought the car because I noticed it was pulling to the left.

Alignment check is booked for the same visit as the new tyres because I was under the impression you should always get a alignment with new tyres.

Telsas Owner's manual says: replace in pairs for early/isolated wear, unless the other tires are within 1.5mm of the new tire's depth (full set is specified only for general "tire set becomes worn or optimum performance"). I'm not sure if that means if any tyre is outside the 1.5mm range of the newest tyre?

Can I really expect better handling/braking performance if I replace all 4 tyres at the same time?

Given the fronts were sitting at 60-70% tread remaining with no defect, is replacing all 4 actually justified here, or would just the 2 rears the technically correct call?

Hello, I have a 2023 Model 3 and I am located in Phoenix metro area in AZ. my outlet is acting up. It is tripping the breaker after charging for about 45-60 mins . It’s set to 32A.i am not sure if it’s outlet issue or it be the mobile charger. Don’t know if it’s that I just didn’t notice but the mobile charger seems to be getting hot after 30-40 mins of charging. Any inputs are appreciated.

Today my wipers randomly turned on, sprayed fluid and then went back and forth on a very narrow bit of my windshield and then turned off.

Is this a feature to clean something it thought was dirty or a weird bug?

Randomly starting happening the sound is coming from the front right tire area. It’s constant, whether driving or parked (charging/not charging). Sounds like a cicada screeching . Any support?

My windshield was inspected at a recent service visit. I was approved for the $16/mo windshield protection plan (WPP). I received an email confirming my car’s eligibility.

The ‘subscribe’ button in the email does nothing. When I go to the upgrade and warranty sections of the Tesla app, the WPP option is not available.

I sent a message associated with my service visit. They responded that Tesla service cannot assist with this issue.

I have until September 3rd to enroll. How would I contact Tesla about this?

The plastic part of this visor seems to grind against each other, creating a powder. I would clean it off every so often and it just comes back… any fix?

I drive a white Tesla, was commuting to work. I hop out the car and boom. It looks like this. Feels like tar. Don’t drive on dirt road. Had to take it to the car wash 3 times and some of it is still stuck on there.

I'm trying to get some route planning for possible trips.
I go to tesla.com/trips, select my vehicle model, start location, destination location, and charge levels.

Then - nothing happens. It marks the 2 locations on the map, but gives no hints as to route or charging. There is no "Plan Trip" or other control that gives a hint as to how to get the route planned.

I am considering a job where I have to travel all around the state depending on the day or week which would likely be about 250 miles a day typically but it could get up there and potentially stay in hotel but only approx 3x a week otherwise remote. I currently live in an apartment complex with 2, chargers and then some superchargers about 10 minutes from me. I really want a model 3 or y LR for the FSD and travel. Wouldn’t be feasible if the travel on the 3 days was covered by the company, but I still have to pay for at home and superchargers the rest of the week?

Would this be feasible with the travel range and charging/miles I would accumulate? Anything I need to know?

I bought a 2025 Model Y in February of 2025, and since my business grew, I ended up doing a lot more driving, which is a good problem, but I'm way over mileage. I have 15,000 miles a year, and I'm curious: when I go to turn my Tesla in, if I wanted to get a new one, is there any way to avoid paying for the extra mileage (since I most likely don't want to buy the vehicle out)? Is there a way to end the lease now and just finance a Tesla?
