Not going to happen. The AWD/P has dual amps with more speakers. The RWD wont have the right wiring harness or the speakers unlike the old M3s that could turn on the speakers that were installed but not used. The AWD gets foglights, a motor, package tray, premium sound system and probably a few...

I pick up my new blue AWD long range Y on tuesday. I picked it out this morning from inventory and everything was done by 5PM for the pick up. .99%.. 7500 credit.. 2500 down. 72 months. That puts the payment a few bucks more than what I'm paying for my 2019 M3 that I will now be selling ;) If...

I was in Bakersfield of all places when I missed an exit to another freeway.. the next turn around was several miles down the road but never fear.. the nav system had me leaping from a 30 foot high overpass to the street below to be on my way.. several times. The nav never did resync..I had to...

Here is what the site says "Valid on Model Y orders placed between May 10 to May 31, 2024 for well qualified customers" Orders.. not delivery From the Tesla Rep I just talked to Hi Michael, this is Von from Tesla. As of May 10th, Model Y finance orders are eligible for a loan rate of 0.99% APR...

Yeah.. I found out about the seats. Bummer.. The impression I had was you had to "order" by the 30th.. not take delivery. When I went through the process, it didn't bark about it.. I should probably go back and review it..

I decided to bite on the new LR Y RWD and save myself 3K plus vs an AWD. The only difference I could see was a 2 second acceleration and I "should" get a few more miles of range. The other is there is not any delivery date for the LR RWD and I could have gotten the AWD this week from stock.

I reserved an R2, but then this popped up and the SO asked why was I not jumping on the deal ;) So I've ordered a LR RWD Y and waiting to see how long the delivery will be on it. I'm hoping the new Y features live up to what I've heard.. better ride, cooled seats etc. Not interested in...

My 2019 M3 has the chrome and my SO and I really like the look on the blue. Not a fan of the "murdered out" look. I have seen some kits with stick on stainless trim. Not a real fan of that either but that seems to be the only option short of pulling the car apart and either plating what I have...

Brake bleed and flush.. official Tesla process https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-35E8034B-CCEE-4045-9C21-67717AD2EE38.html#GUID-35E8034B-CCEE-4045-9C21-67717AD2EE38

Bleeding brakes is bleeding brakes.. use a power bleeder to flush the system. There is a sequence per the manual which you can get access to with you Tesla account at no charge. Actually, I think they changed it.. it *used* to be behind the ID wall.. not not apparently - Model 3 Service Manual...

I can only hope they put in some magic docks.. we desperately need some CCS DC chargers there.

For those who dont know my reference of a "Q" ship Q-ships, also known as Q-boats, decoy vessels, special service ships, or mystery ships, were heavily armed merchant ships with concealed weaponry, designed to lure submarines into making surface attacks. This gave Q-ships the chance to open...

Its a Q ship :D. I stuck the spoiler on myself and caliper covers

So I cna put the pics up now but in a separate post.. oh well :)

I just got back from a short and fast trip from Los Angeles to General Sherman Tree in the Sequoia National Forrest. The trip is about 5-6 hours there with a couple of charges on the way up. I have a Model 3 STD Plus so I have short legs :) I charged at Tejon which is pretty normal for me...

Why pull them at 400 miles? They sound nice

Non teslas can’t get close enough is my guess

This marketplace listing has expired and has been removed.

I’ll bet it’s totaled. The crush cans didn’t seem to get used so all the force went into the inner frame/strut towers. That much crush took out the cooling radiators and may have taken out the octo valve plus compressor from garbage in the line/lose of Freon while running. Pyrotechnic fuses...

Cling or clunk? There are not too many thing on the front that will cling. Has to be lightweight and thin. Like the dust shield on the brakes. That sort of thing. Clunks are more substantial and can be suspension components shifting. Think loose sway bar, bad bushing that sort of thing. A...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Complete Performance brake upgrade kit. Please add to the discussion here.

That’s extreme for just brakes dragging. Teslas are sensitive, I’ll give you that. I’ve seen some real hits with wind for example but I would expect wear and tear on the pads dragging this much. Now you have me wondering :)

That what I did for the outers. Used the adapters for about a year now. I pulled the pins for the inners and used new connector shells to go from 3 pin to 4 pin

Yes. That’s what I did for my 2019 M3

interestingly enough, you are supposed to do this every two years. Clean and sub the mounts and such. But, the pads should not be touching the rotor at least with normal disk brakes. They should just clear the rotor. Anything closer and they drag which will grind them away ( and decrease range)...

The service manual calls out pressure bleeding which is what I do

If I recall, ABS systems have check valves or solenoids that would prevent that. Not to mention many seals in brake systems are flanged so when you apply pressure, the flange is pressed against the housing it’s in. Reversed pressure would force pressure past that flange and ruin the seal in all...

1490245-00-C Hit google and verify. I bought mine off a boneyard at eBay

Interesting. I wouldn’t have guessed that was a Tesla hot spot :) I love my buttons and use them almost daily

Be warned that the paint can fade under common wheel cleaning chemicals. I had it happen but you can bring it back with a bit of polishing compound and about 2 mins per wheel. It took about 6 months for the fade and it’s more of a gloss reduction than “fade”

Amber lit up

Thats solid yes even though I didn't pay 170 for mine ( bought mine some time ago). All I did was install the outers and added the adapter.. no mess no fuss and they have been rock solid. I added the inners ( not a requirement but it looks better ) by getting the correct 4 pin sockets and...

I just did a 200 miles drive and the car decided it really didnt like being next to a big rig.. it kept getting confused with the shadow and thinking something was there when it wasn't. 80 to 0.. I'm sure the people behind me were not amused.

Agreed.. FSD constantly pisses off people with slow acceleration.. phantom braking.. passing too close.. waiting till the very last second before braking.

Those coil overs can void the warranty at the SC discretion. I’ve been told a few times they are not allowed by policy to work on modded cars. So they won’t touch suspension issues with the coil overs. They would work on ac or wiring for example. I had some butchered wiring from a prior owners...

The gen4 and bundle of wires works fine with. 2019m3. Exactly what I did twice

My guess set up a prepaid amount in a trust with a timed release of funds. And a contract set up with a lawyer. The overriding issue you are liable for the car regardless. If it gets damaged etc, Tesla will say it’s on you. If they find out you sublet the car all bets off. Same Goes for...

And just in case others need the info, there is a retaining kit available that has new clips plus pins for about 20 usd. I’d have look it up to be sure. But anyone who lives with salted roads etc may want to invest in that vs trying to salvage corroded pins and clips. Which paint did you use ...

Did you test the fluid? I just change it every two years regardless since it’s easy with a power bleeder

It’s amusing to me how people buy a relatively expensive car like a Tesla and then insisting on driving the 12 volt battery into the ground like it’s a badge of honor. In 40 plus years of driving, I’ve never had a battery slowly wind Down and nicely let me know it’s done. It’s always been a...

The updated shields do not need the hubs removed. And I will verify you need. Performance shields with performance calipers.

Unless things have changed, it’s a direct bolt on but you need the rotors and the dust shields for the front. Brake lines are the same. You can use the tesla parts catalog on line to cross reference the parts and numbers. The rears are more of a challenge because you need to swap the parking...

There is an assortment pack of flanged metric bolts on Amazon for like 10 bucks. Most hardware stores won’t have the flanged version if you want to keep it OEM. M6x12 is what you want stainless steel. I’ve used the other bolts on other projects on the car so they are not wasted.

Well, except 6 months ago I could not find rear pads for the brembos anywhere except Tesla. And the base model is not the same

The front brakes can be had somewhat cheap. But the rear brake only available for all intents from Tesla at 300 plus usd. So yeah. Stupid expensive for brembo pads

As an owner of a 2019 M3 plus I will agree it’s capable and worry free on the main highways. You get off the main roads and things get more interesting. For example, leaving Sedona, there is not enough range to go over to Winslow and get back to flagstaff since Winslow doesn’t have a SC and...

There have been other failures although not as catastrophic as mine. I really think the root cause was pandemic supply chain issues. The plastic seemed “soft” compared to the OEM struts. And they always had been stiffer on the lowering to shut them. What I do know is the seller would not back...

Nope. So far as I can tell almost all of the spring struts come from the same source in China. Pretty common with accessories. Just eyeballing the ends I don’t think will help. The cracked one didn’t show until I hit it pressure to get it off after it’s brother self destructed

In my mind and experience, absolutely
