New York – The bumpy production start of the hopeful model 3 almost collapsed the e-car pioneer Tesla, according to the head of the company Elon Musk. “Tesla really faced a serious risk of death during the start of the Model 3 production,” said Musk in an interview with the news portal “Axios” on Sunday (local time) on the US payer HBO. The company had lost “how crazy” money – if the manufacturing problems had not been solved in a very short time, so The model 3 is the first cheaper e-car from Tesla, with which the company of tech billionaire Musk wants to penetrate from the luxury niche into the mass market. However, Tesla struggled for months with massive start-up problems in the production of the car. Musk’s ambitious production targets have been shifted several times and ultimately only with enormous costs. d. In the meantime, however, it seems that the risky bet is going on: after the months of the Model 3 strains described by Musk as “production hell”, Tesla finally managed the first quarter profit in two years. “You should never become complacent, so we have to continue working hard – but I think we’re over the mountain,” Musk said in a podcast of the tech blog “Recode” at the beginning of November.Source: dpa

Palo Alto – The electric car manufacturer Tesla is still not making progress with its hopeful model 3. In the fourth quarter, only 1,550 units of Tesla’s first mid-range car were delivered, as the company of Tech billionaire Elon Musk announced on Wednesday after US stock exchange closure. Thus, the already lower expectations of analysts were massively disappointed. The initially issued target of 5,000 model 3 per week moved Tesla back and forth for the second time. In October Musk had said that “we are deep in production hell.” Meanwhile, however, great progress has been made in the manufacturing process, according to the company. Investors nevertheless reacted disillusioned, the share initially fell by just under two percent. For Tesla, the success of the model 3 available in the USA starting from $35,000 is crucial. With the first medium-range car, the breakthrough in the production process is expected to take place. In the final quarter, Tesla delivered 29,870 vehicles, according to the company, which corresponds to a new record and an increase of 27 percent year-on-year. 15,200 of the luxury sedan model S were brought to the clientele by the newer electric SUV model X 13,120 units. Production of the newer electric SUV model X 13,120 units was made. According to Tesla 24,565 cars, of which 2,425 model 3.

What does it look like with the M3 display with the durability? Has anyone ever got a mechanical capputt or scratched the surface? What does a replacement cost and how quickly is something like that exchanged in an emergency? The background to my question is how the fact of absolute concentration of operation on this display affects maintenance and longevity. I have experienced smartphones whose displays looked absolutely scratch-free and top after several years at “service users” others in turn got jumps and scratches very quickly. What happens in the event of a complete failure of the display, can you still move the car? The fact that by concentrating on the display no other switches etc. can lock and fail, is quite an advantage to consider.

Hi 3er community, I have just read Quote: Since 1 July 2019, an acoustic warning signal has to be installed in new types of hybrid electric and pure electric vehicles.Since 1 July 2019, an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) must be installed in new types of hybrid electric and pure electric vehicles to protect pedestrians. (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems, AVAS for short) to protect pedestrians. Can you turn that off?

Hello all, I have had a Model 3 performance for the test drive. To be honest, this is too tight from the chassis and partly too uncomfortable on my way to work. Are there any differences between LR vs. performance in the chassis? I mean the seller said that. What do 18″ on the LR compared to the 19″? Does anyone have experience from real life possibly even over many km? Thank you! Bernd

I just had a walk on a forest and had the car standing in a parking lot. I had no net there and when I came back I had the message that the vehicle alarm was triggered. Do you know exactly what triggers the alarm? Did someone touch the car or could it have been a false alarm? According to Tesla, when trying to open a locked door. Sentry was unfortunately out. A colleague with Model X thinks he constantly had false alarms and would already not be dana anymore. I don’t know.

Hello, I would like to have my Model 3 SR+ a little deeper. However, it should still remain normally mobile. Therefore, I fluctuate between lowering springs or coiled suspension. Whereby the coiled suspension offers even more possibilities. Therefore, first of all some questions about this. 1. Are the serial dampers sufficient, to whom one installs e.g. ST lowering springs? Is the driving comfort still sufficient, since I was quite hard with H&R in the Audi at the time? Are there already reports m it the springs in the Tesla? 2. If coiled suspension, which is recommended, ST XA or KW V3 ? The KW can be adjusted in pressure and tension stage, the ST only in the pressure stage. Does this bring so many advantages? VG Michael

For a few days I noticed that my M3P didn’t always lock cleanly. Today I had this many times (except for one exception, where it has locked correctly – with all the connected processes). I describe what happens (or not). I always use the iPone as a key, which has worked so well so far. With removal from the car the car locks, the mirrors fold in, the turn signals confirm briefly and the screen goes off. Now the car does not lock by removing n. If I then lock up via the app, it only locks, however, regardless of the distance (i.e. cell phone keys connected or not). The screen stays on and the mirrors don’t collapse. After quite a long time, the screen goes off, the mirrors stay outside. I tried a reset several times. Once it worked properly in between today, regardless of a reset, then no more. Does anyone know that? SW Version 2021.12.2 (since 7.4.21)
