EVANNEX.COM sells aluminum skid plates to correct for the problem you have. EVANNEX Aluminum Front Skid Plate For Tesla Model 3 (2017-9/2021). I had mine installed by a repair shop which took about 5 hours of labor to install.

My accident was not nearly as bad as yours but nevertheless I won't have my car back for at least 45 days due to part delays. I share the group consensus that I am happy you both walked away unscathed. When I lost my model S two weeks ago today due to a collision I was very upset. But while...

I got lucky with my door handles. I was at the service center for the recent seat belt recall. When the technician handed me my key the door handle no longer auto-presented. It literally broke the last time the service tech closed the door. The Sr. tech evaluated the situation and asked if I...

I was convinced my slow leak was a TMPS sensor issue since it was in both front tires. My office building had construction going on at the time. The two sheet metal screws the Tesla service guys found in my tires which matched the ones screwed in the wall in front of my car in the parking garage...

Did you notice the part in your warranty that said you were not supposed to use a mechanical carwash but rather you should hand wash the vehicle? I was surprised to read that too but you should be aware that mechanical car washes will possibly void your car body warranty.

I doubt you plan to be in a flash flood anytime soon. We had phenomenal rain in the Dallas area in the late spring/early summer. I was waiting for my daughter at Love Field, our in town airport. The rain was so heavy the airport had to be closed and all the flights re-routed to other cities...

And I would also recommend this helpful 3d printed umc controller wall bracket found at TMC Marketplace. I have it along with the wall connector organizer and they really work well together to keep your charging cable accessible and organized. The UMC bracket keeps the controller from pulling...

I heard the last time the Texas legislature took up the license plate issue they failed to establish a penalty of any kind. My understanding is that not having a plate just gives them an excuse to pull you over and see if there is anything else you might be doing that might be illegal. Inhaling...

Hi SW2Fiddler, I go to an annual convention in Houston every February. On the way to Houston I top off at the Huntsville supercharger. It gives me enough range for the three day conference, but I do not drive around much once I am there. On the way back I charge at the Corsicana supercharger...

I am an early adopter I think my vin is 1649. My Texla was delivered via UPS in January 2013. A Texla is similar to a unicorn. The Great State DOES want the tax revenue just not the political headache associated with the Texas Automobile Dealers Association, TADA. The bureaucrats in Austin...

My business partner was one of the first to get the Porsche Panamera here in Dallas. He was on the waiting list for a few years. His Panamera has been in the shop for at least three months in the 2 1/2 years he has owned it. He has had mechanical issues as well as problems with the interior. It...

I am in the Oil & Gas business. My first electric vehicle was a Segway. With it I learned to appreciate the efficiency and fun of an EV. I told myself that if an electric car ever came along that I could afford and was as fun as the Segway then I would buy it. So I guess there is a benefit to...

I was told they should get started about 1:30pm with the Tesla part of the hearing to occur around 4:30pm. When the committee chair came in and saw the packed room he turned to an aid and asked what was going on today that drew such a crowd. After a bit of whispering at the front, the chairman...

Please make no assumption Oil & Gas folks do not like Tesla. As a Texan I have been associated with the industry since high school. I love my Tesla and my job in the oil & gas industry. I liked the point Elon made out at the factory party in the fall of 2012. He said that Tesla is energy...
