A friend was driving my car and drive into a highway median. the damage isn't all that bad and the frame is still good and straight surprisingly but only the steering wheel airbag deployed.

He's paid me up front for all the repairs and it's currently getting worked on. Unreported accident, still a clean title. but since the airbag deployed, can i still supercharge once repaired?

TIA

Recently purchased a 2023 Model X Plaid with very low mileage (5,000) from a private party. Felt suspicious, but I thought that odometer tampering was pretty much impossible on a Tesla. I proceeded to buy the car, and everything seemed to check out.

The plot twist happened when I opened up the "service history" tab inside of service mode. It showed a few maintenance logs with the odometer at 30k, 40k, and 60k miles. It also showed service logs in 2025 with the odometer at 0 miles, which made me think maybe the service center was just sloppy with their records (these records were entered by Tesla, apparently).

The thing that makes me the most suspicious is that the basic warranty is expired. This warranty usually lasts 50k miles or 4 years, whichever comes first. My vehicle is 3 years old and has 5,000 miles, so the warranty should still be active. The vehicle is a clean title, so I can't think of any other reason for them to void the Basic warranty. The drivetrain, Extended Service Agreement, and battery warranties are still active.

The wear and tear on the vehicle is also moderately suspicious, but plausible, for 5,000 miles. There are a few scratches, yoke is peeling, and the edge of the driver seat leather is a little worn from getting in and out.

The conclusion that I am drawing from all this is that somebody drove the car at least 50k miles, triggered the Basic warranty to expire, and then somehow managed to reset the odometer before selling the vehicle to me.

Am I interpreting the evidence correctly? Did I get scammed?

Hey all, long story short, brand new car was involved in a hit-and-run. Luckily, Sentry caught everything, and I was able to get the other driver’s insurance info eventually.

The damage is minor-it could probably be buffed out or heated out but worst case, the bumper might need a full replacement?? That would automatically get reported to Carfax, showing a hit, which I REALLY would love to avoid right now smh.

I’m deciding between a private pay arrangement (to avoid carfax hx) or going through his insurance.

**If anyone has experience with diminished value claims this is my first time learning about it , I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks so much

I tried shuffling a different Spotify playlist while driving, and got a loading error. It worked fine before that time. Now the loading eror doesn't go away. already entered and exited the vehicle. Cannot play anything from Spotify anymore.

Any clue what can fix this? somehow am also not able to pull off a soft reset. Holding the two scroll wheels does nothing for me. 2025 Model 3

Hey folks!

I’m trying to see if there’s any major difference between these two models that should steer me away from going with a 24 with less miles than a 25 I’m looking at. It’s about 3k in savings maybe more to go with the 24.

Appreciate any feedback or support!

I could by a M3 from 2019 with 107.000km for 21.000€ is that a good priceor should i pay around 5k more for a newer model?

I live in a very old building, Earth was not mandatory when it was built, we only have 2 lines and Neutral.

Is it possible to connect the Wall charger with this situation?

Would the mobile charger work at 240 with the neutral?

Hi everybody, first time buyer here.

A couple weeks ago I ordered my first, pre owned tesla model 3. Im really excited about the purchase, but was curious about how long it was supposed to take? it said that it would take a week around 2 weeks ago and I desperately need a car for work.

Feel bad for being impatient but I hate leaching rides, was just curious how long it took for most people on average. Thanks.

My fsd trail expired over night and this morning I noticed I had to enable again dashcam viewer from inside the car . is this normal do sometimes settings get wiped when switching from fsd to non fsd ?

Just updated to 2026.8.6 on my ‘23 model 3 SR HW3 and I’ve noticed that the green dot that you get when you activate FSD that indicates the cabin camera is watching you is now gone. Also it seems like I can go much longer without looking at the road before it nags me. Anyone else having this?

Hi Everyone,

My model 3 got the black screen of death around 4 days ago. I have tried holding the two scroll wheels on the steering wheel but it won't work. Tried it with the break held too.

The car drives but nothing on the screen works. The app wont connect anymore either besides allowing me to unlock the car and drive. I have been charging it but I am worried it is not charging, More so, I don't know if it is actually charging and to what percentage since I cant see it.

Im nervous about battery drainage because when the black screen of death happend, the AC was set to the coldest option and on 10 speed, and it wont stop running for the last 4 days, full blast AC all day and night, nothing i can do to stop it, since the app wont connect either.

My main concern/question is battery charging until i can get it fixed. Does anyone know if when I do plug it in the charger and the T on the tesla charger port flashes green, does that mean it is charging? I would think it is charging right?

Does anyone know if the car still charges if the T is blinking? I think I have it set to 80% before the black screen so it might be charging pretty much full. I am just nervous my car will die on the road since I dont konw how much battery is in the car.

Please help and if anyone knows how to fix this black screen of death please help me with suggestions. I already have tried the scroll button holding down 100 times, the car wont even accept any updates.

I ordered on 4/2, it said est delivery 1 week, and the delivery center is saying it’s set to arrive 4/11 (Saturday). Does that mean I’m going to be able to take delivery ON Saturday? Or they’ll just now finally ping my app to schedule on Saturday?

Thanks in advance. I’m without a car until I get this one so just trying to plan accordingly.

Hi,

Last year in June I installed at Tesla the OEM towing package (at a Tesla service) and I used it on average one to two times per month with my bike rack carrying 2 bikes of around 18 kg each. I mention this to make it clear that I am well under the 60kg limit of the Thule Epos 2 bike rack.

Since last 2 or 3 trips, I started to hear a knocking sound coming from the rear end every time I steer left or right and when I move the rack from side to side. I took a video as well showing the sound.

Could this come from the towing system? Is there a chance a bolt was not properly tighten during installation and it is slightly undone?

What do you think?

I ordered a model 3 paid the $1000 half to hold the car and half for delivery. Everything said and done it said I was going to be putting 5800 down then all of a sudden I sent my delivery order and all of a sudden the price of the car goes up and I need to put 6800 down can anyone explain this or have had a similar experience to this and what you did. Please im going tomorrow i need to know if im getting bamboozled

so last year my parking sensor went off line due to an unknown issue. im a college student and had been saving up just to get it diagnosed. took it in and they said it was due to rat damage. this is highly frustrating because they are charging me 500 to fix it. do you suggest paying it or just ignoring it since its a ultrasonic sensor and its not really needed for driving just parking? I been driving for the last 6 months without it yes it helped when getting closed to objects or parking but have been getting by without it. I just feel like 500 is to much and for something that can happen again possibly the freaking next day idk what to do. I wish tesla can use wiring that is not edible or something much more harmful than the soy wiring the use
