  • One Pedal Driving

    Hello, I sold my Mercedes A class a few weeks ago, because the constantly jerky switching processes of the double coupling have annoyed me very much in the long run. Now I am looking for a vehicle where the gearbox is running perfectly or where I should not really notice any switching operations anymore. For example, the Tesla Model 3, which I tested last week. Because there is only one gear. That’s very cool. But what I found very negatively. In principle, you have to be constantly on the accelerator pedal and, in my opinion, you can never relax the right foot. If you walk away from the accelerator pedal, the Tesla immediately slows down strongly. I don’t like that at all. I would like the vehicle to roll out normally when I walk away from the gas. So as I am used to with a burner. Otherwise, I was satisfied with the Tesla as a whole. But that’s a crucial point for me. Tesla somehow adjustable? And does every electric car drive like this?

  • Kickstarter: trailer coupling for the Model 3 from Tesla up to 1,500kg

    But I didn’t find anything in the search, so here’s the reference to a Kickstarter project that was started a few days ago. Just before, I’m not involved in any way, either with friends or financially, but only with the customer/supporter. Here’s the project:https://www.kickstarter.com/…/…rkupplung-fur-das-model-3-von-tesla It’s about retrofitting a trailer coupling on Model 3 or the trailer load of an already existing original A To increase HK to approx. 1,450 kg (from 910 kg or 1,000 kg) at 100 kg of support load. Probably also for performance models. For Early Birds (currently 7 remaining) there is the appropriate test report for increasing the trailer load of an already existing trailer coupling for 350 EUR. Or a complete AHK for retrofitting including all parts (without installation) for 1,150 EUR (there are already all the early birds away). The Kickstarter project is still running 28 days, the amount is almost reached.

  • Brake stroke – Model 3 Performance

In the SeC guarantee was rejected, although it was found that the discs are not in order. Tesla wanted for the front performance brakes over 800€, so I asked my workshop. In the waiting area I spoke with another M3P driver, who has the same problem. Anyone else here? They work well, even if it feels a bit weird (unsafe, and the pedal vibrates) to brake strongly at high speeds. But before I invest 800€ I drive them a little bit…

  • Buy Model 3 Highland used

    I’m 60 years old and I bought all my cars (Audi A4,A5) used. Now I’m playing with the idea of buying a Model 3. But I don’t know about the Model 3 or the fair used car prices for electric cars. I just heard that it’s absolutely necessary to have the battery checked. How do I know if an electric car is in good condition? (I don’t mean the things everyone sees by simply hingucking immediately) Hang the used car prices. auso as with burners mainly from the km, the equipment is rather unimportant? Are there online calculators for the used prices? Would it be epmmissable to search on the Internet a connoisseur (perhaps in a forum), and take that with you to buy?

  • Load and maximum permissible weight of Model 3

    The load is [at LFP-SR+]* 300 kg, if I have noticed it correctly. This is 46 kg less than with ID.3 Pro S, which is only a 4-seater for weight reasons. Shouldn’t the Model 3 be set to 4 or even 3 seats? j. _____ [*Note by Motor-Talk] [Thread separated from another topic]

  • Crack and creak from the front axle

    For a few days I’ve had creaking sounds, sometimes crunching or crackling, but mostly a creaking. I think that comes from the front axle. Also in the straight run, but especially when steering. I hear this very clearly and annoyingly at low speeds. When I press the front right from above on the fender I hear it creaking, left not. Can that be the feather legs? Or drive shaft? Did anyone have that already? I have an appointment in the SEC on Thursday and it s on the phone already as if the friendly gentleman knows what that is and wants to provide parts already.

  • From BMW to Model 3 SR

    Hello everybody, I need your advice! First of all, I would ask you to leave out the subjective aspect of your advice and really evaluate it objectively. I bought a 2 year young bmw g20 320 Diesel mild hybrid with 190ps at the end of last year. Now my professional situation has changed and I am considering buying a new Tesla Model 3 Standard Range. It is a new vehicle from December 2022 with 100km. Costs would include the cost of my bmws almost 42000€ with the very small engine. I would usually drive under 300km at a time, probably only around 40-100km and occasionally to a distance 200km and a few hours later again 200km. Loading I would / could only change to public charging column. I am very pleased with the technology in Tesla, today there was the first test drive and it was dream like nightmare. What disturbed me the feeling when driving over bumps, something has me to my old citrö In addition, I wonder how realistic 200,000 km with the Tesla are in terms of the materials. For example, the seats were extremely soft, the shock absorbers didn’t feel so constant when driving ….. I’m torn back and forth and I’m just afraid to take the step. Would therefore ask you to express your overall opinion and experience on the subject. Maybe someone has made an identical change. On the one hand, I’m excited about the other I know n Icht so ganz …. [Persistent fat lettering removed from motor talk.]

  • Model 3 – Paint quality

    How have you been satisfied with the lacquer quality of your already delivered Model 3? In Netz you will find faults (stau-leg closures, pimples, polishing fog etc.) especially with the two multicoat coatings, i.e. with red and white.

  • Don’t find a list of Model 3 standard equipment

    Hi. I’m kind of ashamed to ask about it here, but for days I’ve been looking for a clear and complete list of all the features of Model 3 (for me relevant SR, but also in comparison to the others). On the Tesla website I can only find the Autopilot packages on the configurator, but also in the flow text of the main page for the M3 I can only find security features and so on, but nowhere a complete list. that the premium sound system is in from Long Range, but I couldn’t find out, for example, when the el. tailgate is in it. So – embarrassing, embarrassing: Who shows me a complete equipment list, which I seem to be too stupid to find? Devoten Thanks and best regards, Christoph[Title of Motor-Talk adapted]
