    Color matched door handle wrap

    I'm looking for a wrap that covers the edges but not fully to the back of the handle, with, most importantly, a finish that mimics black tesla paint. I'm aware of the gloss black option from tesbros and others, but no one really shows an actual image of the door handle being wrapped. The search...

    WTB 2020 Gray Model 3 Performance wheel take offs

    Can pick up between Folsom and Bay Area, or shipped to me. With PS4S tires only. I do not want the ones you can order from tesla's site, as those will not fit my calipers.

    Undercarriage pressure wash?

    What do you use to wash the undercarriage? Bay area folk, this probably won't pertain to you. I'm thinking of getting an undercarriage washer attachment (either ryobi or mtm if it ever comes back in stock) and pressure washer for the few times it snows where I'm at now. Obviously the model 3...

    Mobile Service Appointment for Rattles - Fix or Leave Alone?

    For the love of all that’s holy don’t let them touch your car unless it’s absolutely necessary. Twice mobile service tried to fix my dash rattle and twice it’s gotten louder and more obnoxious.

    New Model 3 vs CPO Model S?

    Rattle box for sure (the dash is driving me nuts.. mobile service has “fixed” it twice and I feel it’s way worse now).. but the S is not planted.. not in the way the p3d is. The 3 feels heavy, but the tires more than make up for it. I really do not like the S steering either, it felt all over...

    M3P Tire Shop recommendation?

    All the big tire companies I've tried in the past have failed me when it came to properly balancing tires (despite multiple trips back), and I worry that some may not have the proper equipment to jack up the M3 without breaking the mounts/loops. What's your go to shop? I'm in the bay area for...

    Diminished value claim?

    My M3 was rear ended, and after replacing the parts at Tesla, I'm wondering what options I have to recover DV. After all, I don't expect anyone to pay the same amount for a car with a clear carfax vs one without. Can I seek inconvenience as well? (trips back and forth to dealer, not having my...

    South Bay Area / Peninsula paint shop recommendations?

    Rear bumper was tapped in the parking lot by some idiot kid who took off. Luckily for me, my Sentry mode caught the whole thing, so after a quick call to insurance, I'm looking for a paint shop. I've always had black cars, and have had nothing but issues with multiple "high end" shops in the...

    Paint/powdercoat silver-> tesla gray 20" wheel?

    I have the original 20" wheels in silver, but my tires will be needing replacement some time this year. At the same time, I'd like to paint/powdercoat them to the new color. Has anyone does this? I've seen OCDetailing do this in the past at what seems like a slightly darker shade, but I'd like...

    Tesla 3 Performance v. Porsche 911 4S

    Have you driven the m3p? Have you driven a 992 on more than a test drive? Your m3p 0-200 kph is wrong btw. Also what’s a ford camry?

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Sigh. Keep broadcasting that you want to spend more [edit] than 2k and maybe they'll do it. Too bad for the rest of us that would rather not spend more.

    Molded Mud Flaps on Amazon

    Did you hear rocks/pebbles hitting the sides of your door before the flaps? what about after?

    I raced a Huracan and people can't believe the result.

    says the guy who made a profile on a tesla forum to brag about his "friend's" "car" - two things that probably don't exist either.

    Ah I’m used to 1/4 times of both. Whoops

    I raced a Huracan and people can't believe the result.

    Hurricanes can hit 150 mph. Huracans cannot. Nor are they 2 seconds faster. Huracan driver slept and I feel this won't be the last one. "friend's" "huracan" "expert" :)

    Was the glass break intentional? (EDIT: No it wasn't)

    lol @ the mods editting the original title as if they knew for 100% certainty/were Elon himself. Obviously, I don't know for 100% certainty, but here are my thoughts: *Tin foil hat on* If it was intentional, do you think any of the Tesla reps would say it's intentional? They had a convenient...

    Was the glass break intentional? (EDIT: No it wasn't)

    Moderator note: Thread title edited to add a fact. Tesla prides itself in not needing to resort to conventional advertising to get the word out about their products. The glass demo, while not great news, is still news that many news outlets will create buzz about. I doubt that Franz had that...

    I love this car, but.....

    Depends on your last car. I'm averaging 300wh/mi. At your price, it costs me 6.5 cents to drive a mile. In my last car, I averaged ~20MPG combined. Costs about 20 cents a mile if gas is at $4/gal If 12000 miles/year driven, at your price, it's $780 vs $2400 per year.

    Weird charging.. faulty?

    Between yesterday and today, at around 40-50% SoC, the most I've been able to get at a super charger was around 20 kW. Currently at 60% SoC, 20 kW, keeps dropping to 0 and back to 20, and the supercharger is at half capacity parked. Yes, the charger is "in". Anyone else notice this?

    The total Tesla M3 experience. Happy or disappointed?

    I'm happy with the car and to support Tesla, but I can't stand the plastic cracking sounds every time the A/C or heater turns on, the rattles from my seatbelt holder and center console. Music helps but is only a crutch.

    I had to drive a gasoline car yesterday. It was traumatic.

    Agreed. Bought my parents an 18 q5 last year and I loved it then. I drove it again a few weeks ago and it feels clunkier and more sluggish than I remember. Back to OP, I think of driving or doing anything less than what your current standard is helps you to reset your perspective and appreciate...

    Irrelevant on multiple fronts.

    Have any updates improved power output at lower SoC?

    I get it, you don't need to always hit 0-60 in 3.2 seconds (M3P), but it's what surely lured me into the purchase. Knowing that the car is considerably down in power the closer to and below 50% gives me a bit of power anxiety (especially at higher speeds) when considering a track day. Yes, I...

    What product do you use for the deepest wettest looking gloss?

    Claying creates scratches, so this might be counterintuitive. I’d save claying for when you plan to do a paint correction, a year or two from now, dependent on current mileage and exposure to the elements.

    Advice on repairing door ding

    Clean the area with rubbing alcohol, break a toothpick in half to get fine strands of wood fibers and slowly "dot" in touch up paint where you see metal. I'm insanely picky about my paint, but for something like this I wouldn't bother with a body shop as they will probably sand/blend way more...

    Red Model 3 & Showing Dirt

    Black cars look dirty fastest because they rely on a reflection to look clean. Red may have a similar issue. Next to gray, I've found white to look cleaner for longer.

    Drivers seat killing me!!

    For bottom seat adjustment, tilt the front part all the way up, and the back all the way down. Then recline the backrest slightly so you sit "in" the "v" shape you just created. This way, your hamstrings have some support. Just as important as the first step: turn heat to 1 or 2, or on really...

    We don't all have budget for protective wraps & ceramic coating

    Be very careful with this stuff. A little bit goes a LONG way. I made the mistake of putting on an extra layer, on my last car's wheels, and brake dust WELDS itself to it. No amount of iron remover or washing could remove it.

    We don't all have budget for protective wraps & ceramic coating

    A guy I know has worked with Yvan Lacroix (spokesman for Optimum car products), who mentioned that the tiny micro marring "won't be noticed by customers" by the BRS. I have also tried the BRS with ONR (2 weeks since the last wash with ONR/ cuffless mitt), and despite being super gentle (one...
