    Ended: Tesla Model 3 Accessories (like new)

    Sorry, had to travel for work. Just seeing these notes as the forum didn’t email me notifications. I didn’t take pictures of these because that’s a hassle, sorry. If that becomes a critical factor, I can do prior to finalizing a sale. Otherwise, everything looks as you’d see on the website...

    Ended: Tesla Model 3 Accessories (like new)

    I've sold both my 2020 Model 3 SR+ & 2021 Model 3 Performance and have a stash of accessories that need to go. All items are in excellent/like new condition as I'm OCD about cleanliness, and didn't use either car very much. - (Used/Like New) Tesla All Weather Model 3 Floor Liners - MSRP $225...

    Auto wipers activating when sun shining directly on windshield

    I’ve had this before, but not often. Not exactly sure what combination of clean/dirty window and sun/shade/reflection triggers it. It happens more often in my wife’s ‘20 Audi Q7.

    Tire Tread Life vs. Your Driving Style

    Me too…. I’ve never gotten more than 12k miles on any tire on any car or truck I’ve owned. Folks getting 20+k should feel good, or they do a lot of extended driving. I’m almost always in town, short trips. Fast take off, fast turn in and out. Not really into drifting or burnouts, but my tires...

    Price of used Model 3s is amazing right now! [Summer 2021]

    Submit it again and see if there is a place where you tell them what you want for the car. Pretty sure how that is the way I submitted mine. Told them what I wanted, and that's what they came back with in the offer. Good luck!

    Price of used Model 3s is amazing right now! [Summer 2021]

    Sold my ‘20 Model 3 SR+ (Blue, Black, Aero) to VROOM in Houston, TX for $38,500. 94% of MSRP - crazy!! Loving my new ‘21 Model 3 Performance. Got blue again, but with white interior this time and mine has the new front door trim that carries around the white and silver trim from the dash. Looks...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Ordered the ‘21 Model 3 Performance in Blue with White interior on May 31st, took delivery in Houston TX ahead of indicated date on Thursday, June 10th. Paint, panels, etc all looked great. I can confirm the passenger side lumbar is gone. No big deal as my wife never used it and is seldom in...

    USB port error

    I’ve had this problem and believe it’s from the USB drive overheating. Only happened with the little Sandisk 128MB ultra disk drives, never had an issue with using the Samsung T5 portable SSD.

    Wireless Charger - IPhone 12 Max

    I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max with the Apple MagSafe Leather case and the Tesla branded wireless pad for my Model 3 and it charges fine. The fit is tight and I have to push the phone down/under the bottom “lip” a little, but it ends up fitting and charging fine.

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    The Tesla all weather mats are excellent. Only reason not to buy them is to save a few bucks, or just to be different. If you want a precise OEM fit, style, and appearance, I highly recommend them. I have the Frunk, Trunk, and both the All Weather Liners. I think they are made by WeatherTech...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    It’s ridiculously simple to get the rear seat base out and use the 12v connection right there. I did it and suggested it 3-4 times in this very thread. Literally takes 2 minutes or less. Once you’ve done the install you’ll see nothing is “hard” but some parts are a PITA. Be patient and it’s a...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    The “something” cable is part of a “pass through harness” provided in the kit that ties the Hansshow controller into the existing trunk button and latch. It has identical bare wire connections to match to. You fish both cables up at the same time, unless you don’t want to put the new internal...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    They connect to one of the other trunk plugs provided in the kit that you attach to the existing plug. Don’t remember which, but there are 2 plugs on your trunk now that you’d unplug. Then you put the Hansshow “pass through harness” in and plug back in the Tesla cable and connect/plug the...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    It didn’t show well in the video, but he pulled through 2 “strands” of wiring for the trunk plugs. One has a plug you have to take of and put back on & the other is 4 (I think) bare wires. For whatever reason the kit doesn’t include a plug for the bare wires on either side, so you see him...
