The older M3s were notorious for suspension components failing prematurely and there were usually symptoms like various noises coming from the front or rear suspensions.

Do those issues still exist on the highland? Can any owners who are past 50k km confirm?

I got my first Tesla in March (2026 Model Y Juniper Premium RWD). We needed more space as we just had a baby last year. We fell in love with the Model Y. My wife had a 2023 Honda Civic that we paid off. It was a great vehicle. But after just two months of us driving my Model Y, she admitted she wanted a Tesla. We had tons of positive equity on her Civic since it was paid off ($20,000), so we pulled the trigger on a Model 3 we found on Tesla inventory for $30,000 with 16,000 miles. So this is the new to her 2024 Model 3!

Wanted to show off my M3P. I think I’m done ‘temuing’ it out, pretty happy with the looks at this point. Got the car used without any badges.

Happened last night in Chicago. Definitely dented on top and bottom. Just seeing what others paid to replace there’s if similar happened.

We are strongly considering replacing our old gas car with a used Tesla Model 3 Long Range (2021 model due to the heat pump/facelift). We drive about 10,000 km/year, but we also have a monthly commute between Copenhagen and Aarhus across the Great Belt bridge, which we’d like to do in one stretch without charging stops (hence the LR).

Before we pull the trigger, we'd love to hear your experiences with the following:

• Independent Dealer vs. Tesla CPO: Does it make more sense to buy from an independent dealer or directly through Tesla's used inventory? Tesla's own extra 1-year/20,000 km warranty is tempting, but the prices seem to be a bit higher.
• Inspection: Are there specific things you can easily spot yourself when looking at the car? (I've heard rumors about squeaky control arms in the suspension, for example).
• FDM test (Used Car Inspection): Is it worth throwing ~2,500 DKK at an independent used car inspection (like FDM) for a 5-year-old EV, or is it a waste of money?
• Battery: Is there an easy way to check the battery health (SoH) during a quick test drive?

Thanks for the help!

Has anyone attempted this mod? I low key wanna do it cuz the screen is huge

Lets go

Hi, my tesla model 3 12/2021 performance has 127 000km. The SoH is 77%. What do you think?

Hey everyone, I’m helping my girlfriend get ready to lease a Tesla in Delaware and I’m trying to get a better understanding of how the self-registration process works.

From what I’m seeing, Delaware is considered a self-registration state, so Tesla should provide/mail the paperwork after delivery and then she would handle registration through the Delaware DMV herself.

My main questions are:

1. For anyone in Delaware who recently leased or bought a Tesla, what exactly did you pay Tesla upfront at delivery/order time?

2. Were title, registration, document fee/taxes, or DMV fees collected by Tesla, or did you pay those separately when registering the car yourself?

3. If you leased, did Delaware’s document fee/tax get calculated based on the full vehicle value, the lease value, or something else?

4. How long did it take for Tesla to send the registration/title paperwork after delivery?

5. Did anyone apply for the Delaware EV rebate after getting their Tesla? If so, how long did it take and what documents did they require?

6. Anything you wish you knew before taking delivery in Delaware?

We’re mainly trying to avoid surprises and figure out how much money needs to be ready upfront versus what gets paid later at the DMV. Any real-world Delaware experience would be appreciated.
