I have the North installed already. They are really effective, although there seems to be a residual effect with the remaining sandblasting effect having moved to the back and under only (not the rocker panels anymore). I did put some gravel guard that I had handy today and noticed that along...

What’s the difference between bed liner and gravel guard?

Winter roads with salt and sand? Note that it’s not the lowest part that’s damaged, which would be if it were scraped by touching the ground - it’s the surfaces facing the front of the car, that is, the sides of the jack point protrusion facing forward. Also the inside of the hole, that faces...

My rear jack points are being damaged just by driving. They stick out a bit and the areas facing the front of the car are being eaten up, likely by dirt projections. Lots of sand on the roads in winter around here. I asked service how to stop this and they had nothing to say. I sprayed...

At last!!! Tesla to offer free ‘protection kit’ with mud flaps in tough climates after Model 3 paint issues https://electrek.co/2019/11/20/tesla-free-protection-kit-mud-flaps-winter-climate-model-3-paint-issues/?fbclid=IwAR0tizIrtcDSaFW1HWUHoPgdAV6JJk5KoJydbGzfRMSkCXAl18dKPcCiSq4

Had this happen, ranger came and replaced the whole "kit" in the seat. My koworkers were very impressed.

Thé existence of a service bulletin did not save me from having to pay for replacement of mid aeroshield cover, the front one got replaced preventively for free according to the same service bulletin though. Could not get a rational explanation from them though. Like, we fix the known issue for...

I have those from Antirouille Bolduc on, they’re large and sturdy, designed specifically for the Model 3. As for PPF it’s only good if extending behind the rocker’s plastic trim. Got my rockers paint repaired and since I don’t trust the work - I suspect paint will bubble from rust trapped...

I bought them they’re excellent.

Had same issue, passenger side, just stuck a piece of paper folded multiple times to prevent the plastic piece to rattle around.

Good job @ryanjm

Mine got the damage with aero covers always on.

PPF is not enough unless it completely covers the area, look at this pic where the sandblasting occurs right after the edge of the film. Here in Quebec there are numerous owners reporting their car's body got sandblasted to the metal after only a few months on the roads. This week, members...

Would you suggest applying a layer of Plasti Dip primer first? Or is it holding up good enough as is?

I would also take care of the rocker panels and rear door panels. Here’s what happens to a Model 3 after one winter / 15000 miles in Quebec on paved roads:

Here’s a couple of examples on my car, which I believe is what he’s referring to
