Picked up my Model 3 RWD Quicksilver yesterday  rclxms.gif

The color isn't as what I expected. I expect it would be much more shiny but it actually kind of gives a little bit of matte feeling. The range also far below what's advertised - website says WLTP 519KM but the car estimated 400km++ only for 97% battery. Although I have expected this, I just thought it would be slightly higher as mine is 18" wheel, not the 19", should have better range.

Still getting used to the 1-pedal driving now, I find it dangerous at times as my foot get used to put on the drive pedal all the time but when I needed brake, I would accidentally hit on the drive pedal instead. Especially at parking boom gate, down slopes, etc. Also the regen braking feels kinda weird and a bit dizzy at first, I guess need a bit time for myself to "break-in".

All in all, nice car, nice ride and great audio. Beginning of my EV lifestyle, hope I won't get too much of the range anxiety  biggrin.gif

Car displays EPA, while the advertised is WLTP. Different standards.

Side note, have you driven manual car? laugh.gif the one pedal drive feels a lot like manual car doing engine braking.

Yea, it feels like engine braking (automatic transmission car has it too).

The "pulling" force is causing the dizziness. Hearsay the rear passenger comfort level is not gonna be too good on the new Model 3 due to this strong regen braking.

Don’t worry about it, you will get used to it soon.
Most of my passengers who sit my car for first time didn’t even realized I was doing one pedal drive 😂

Good to know that they make "house calls" even to east malaysia  bruce.gif
I wonder if this is considered as the Tesla Mobile service?

*
Yeah, this is the "mobile service". A bit different from the mobile service in US though. Last time saw they have 2x mobile service launched, this is probably one of them.

Earlier earlier say end August can take delivery, then first week Sept, now tell me has to wait until next week. Aiyo.

Thought to use the new car as bridal car, now the delivery date so late, cannot use new car dyy.

I would say Tesla's delivery definitely not the best, especially compared to traditional car manufacturers' dealership experience. I was 20 minutes earlier and they also allowed me to register earlier, however, the briefing session was full right before me, hence I have to wait at the waiting area for roughly 25-30 minutes before gets called into the next briefing session (P/S the coffee machine isn't even working!). The briefing is kind of extra for my case as I'm already quite 'familiar' with all the features and functions of the car before I even ordered the car (I believe most of us here are). After the video briefing, then we were brought to the delivery car park and the staff just asked us go and locate our own car  dry.gif

As my car is the furthest away from the building entrance, I was the last one to be entertained by the staff. Before that, I just go through the car inspections, feature testing, photo taking, even have to grab the big red ribbon ourselves for photo sessions. After about 20 minutes of inspection, walk around and testing, finally the staff approached and only guided me to confirm the car VIN number, then helped me to setup the phone key, then requested me to sign off the delivery then that's it. Told me I can just drove off.

Same with everyone here, luckily I'm already pretty familiar with the car, so I indeed not needing too much assistance from the staff. But there is almost little to none of the "welcomed" or "prestiged" feeling for the whole Tesla delivery process. You're just like a student go to attend a class, then given few instructions then that's it. Car is flawless tho, as per heard online, Shanghai Gigafactory's build quality is indeed above par.

If you were to check out the Model Y from Giga Shanghai... it is a different build vs the Model 3 though.

I have 2 questions on the Tesla App

1. Why I'm not seeing the upgrade option for EAP / FSD in the Tesla app? I'm only seeing the premium connectivity subscription option, but not seeing EAP / FSD at all.

2. Why am I not able to use the Trip Planner for navigation in the app's "Location"? Once I clicked on destination, it shows error "This feature is not available in this region."

Any sifus has any ideas on the above?
*
Both aren't available as per your observation.

Not sure also why they haven't trip planner for Malaysia.

Once it goes L3 or L4, any issues the manufacturer is responsible... which is probably why it is FSD Supervised now laugh.gif

Wait until November, for now you can register interest.

For me I'm waiting until they do the embedded rfid implementation for toll rfid... that would be sweet! At the moment my rfid is behind my number plate.

What tint you guys opt for your Model 3? Is the 3M one recommended by Tesla worth it? Any recommended tint / shop with good workmanship?

This one isn't worth the price, can get better around. Consider trying H2O the first batches mostly did here for Llumar or 3M.

If you looking for colored PPF, can consider dot garage plt. https://www.facebook.com/DOTGaragePLT/

Damn man, that's a heck of a price tag!
Dumb question though, whats the difference between colored PPF and a wrap?

Already starting to accumulate stone chips and got a wheel arch ding from an idiot who didn't know how to be considerate when opening doors.
Considering what to do at the 1 year mark in a few months.
*
PPF has the self heal feature and thicker, and generally looks better due to the self heal.

Wrap are another material, some claim to self heal… but most I’ve seen wrap glossy black on their pillar looked horrible after some wash session. Mine personally when I wash the car and during drying can see fine marring, however after under the sun back to new 😆.

These door dings… best to go for paint less dent repair.

Ppf reduces stone chip to some degree, bigger ones still will be hard enough to dent the material below ppf.

Dear Model 3 owners. I have been eyeing an EV for awhile. Finally went to test drive both Model 3 and Model Y RWD and to be honest, the experience was beyond my expectation.
Unfortunately the experience store I went to, don't have Model 3 LR.

So, I wish to get some clarification here if LR worth RM30k on top of RWD. My use case is mainly city driving (I do have another ICE) but may still drive long distance once every few months (Penang - North Johor).

1) Real world range concern - What is the real world range of Model 3 LR driving in highway 110-120km/h?
2) Audio quality concern - is the 17 speakers on LR much better than 9 speakers in RWD? On paper it seems yes. I tested the audio briefly, i can tell Model Y is better than Model 3 RWD. This is another factor that sway me towards Model 3 LR.
3) Anyone regretting not going for Model Y after getting Model 3?

The 0% or 0.98% interest is really tempting but ending soon. So, looks like I will have to wait for the next promotion cycle (if there will be another one)  sad.gif
*
1. I drove from Melaka to Rawang... it was about 147 Wh/km at 110-120 km/h (except the last stretch more and more cars so about 90 km/h). With this calculation it is about 500km range. Another drive was from KL back to Melaka... kena heavy traffic and I was tired so I just AP in middle lane and follow. Averaging 90-100km/h. This one averages 125 Wh/km ~ about 600km range.
2. All Model Y is premium speakers (aka 2 subwoofers). That's why during the lightshow gatherings, when they are more Model Y...the sound is much louder lol. Cause the model 3 SR speakers are kinda soft and less bass.
3. I personally like Model Y shape better... but when I test drive the Model Y after driving Model 3 for a few months... I was happy I didn't go with Model Y. No confident when I corner with Model Y, maybe due to I'm a sedan guy all this while and not used to crossover. The sound inside the car was kinda noisy too, my friend sitting behind said he can't hear what the salesperson and me talking about. And another thing is, Model Y door close sound is soooo different laugh.gif

Personally, M3 Long Range is nice for your usage. But you won't be able to get from Johor to Penang in single charge either, but fret not as now Gamuda Cove is open... that one is a nice pit stop for you.

Absolutely, I appreciate you sharing your insights. When comparing the Model Y LR with additional RM47K premium over the standard version, the pricing for the Model 3 LR seems much more reasonable as well. If I really need an SUV, I’d prefer to wait for the Juniper refresh, but I probably don’t, since I already have another ICE SUV.
*
In this case, the Model 3 LR is a good option for you smile.gif. But well if can stretch more for the M3P also nice... tongue.gif apparently if drive at 110 km/h you get similar 500km real world according to some owners though.

I just did my drive from Melaka to Ipoh and back Melaka. Estimated real world at 110km/h is indeed about 550km... otw back it was a little more jammed and so I was averaging around 90-100 in middle lane with AP... that one was much more efficient too.

Anyone else experiencing the wiper “jerking” ? Car is less that 1 month old
*
Is your windscreen coated? If yes, then it is prone to causing jerking due to less water as the windscreen has good hydrophobic layer.

Solution, change to either... kamatto (cheapest), trapo (mid range) or PIAA (most expensive) silicone based wipers.

Or, don't coat the windscreen (you don't wanna do this la...)

hmm.gif no window coating at all? You sure the tint shop didn't add this for you as bonus? Does the windshield bead water during rain time?

Does the windscreen... start to bead water better? Unlikely for Cyberjaya car wash to include any form of coating though.
