    Model 3 trunk beeping twice and stopping halfway?

    No software update will solve this. I had Tesla Mobile replace my motor strut on my trunk, but it made no difference. Still beeps twice at the top of most openings. I asked him about it when he was done with the fix and he just said, "No idea man. I'd bring it to your local service center."...

    Quiet Tire replacement recommendation

    I have the Continental Pure Contact LS in 245/40-19. Highly recommend this tire. It's very quiet...almost as quiet as the stock 18 Michelin MXM tires. What you do notice, however, is the pinging sounds because there is no foam insulation in the tire, but it's quit subtle and not annoying at all.

    Question about PPF that was just installed

    I would get your money back and go to a different installer. The film should be wrapped around the edges of the hood, and it will also be wrapped on the front fenders and bumper on those sides that meet the hood area. When the job is done properly you can barely tell there is any film on the car.

    Question about PPF that was just installed

    Yes, the front lip seams are normal. I have that on mine, but in no way should there be seams like that on the front fenders. That is just incredibly sloppy work. I've had PPF done on two cars now by a very reputable shop -- Automobilia in CT -- they are actually the highest volume Xpel...

    Any other VW GTI or Golf R converts?

    Danny - is Forggiato ever going to come out with a 19" of this wheel? I really want a very nice looking Aero wheel for the Model 3 and there are just incredibly few choices on the market that look half decent. Quite strange actually given the exploding volumes of EVs.

    Any other VW GTI or Golf R converts?

    Went from a 2015 Golf R with a good amount of mods including Stage 1 tune to LR M3. Loving it so far.

    *NEW* 18" Konig Ampliform Wheels Bronze $1000

    They are +30 offset. I was really close to getting the 18" as well because the design of this wheel makes it look larger than it actually is. It's an amazing value wheel with the right looks, offset and load rating and it really complements the Tesla M3. Good luck with sale!!

    *NEW* 18" Konig Ampliform Wheels Bronze $1000

    Here is what the 19” in graphite looks like. This is my car and I love the look of this wheel very light as well 19” is just under 21 lbs

    Frunk misalignment issue

    My hood is way off from the factory and its not a matter at all of adjusting the front hood bumper thingies. But, I'm just too scared to have an SC touch it for the fear they will screw it up even more, so I've just learned to live with it as a "quirk" of the Tesla ownership experience. LOL.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    Ah got it. Yes, that’s exactly right. Wider tire, different tire, more offset and no aero wheel all add up in a big way. On some brief highway runs I think the efficiency loss is easily 15%. It’s pretty serious. Looking good comes with a little pain!

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    The stock wheels without the aero covers look really good, but moving to a 19 inch wheel and pushing it out just 10mm makes a big difference in looks...at least to me. Cheers!

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    Here ya go. Not the best pics. The front is quite good. The back of course could come out another 10mm, but that’s not what I was going for. Just wanted a simple setup with a wheel that looked better than the stock 18s.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    König Ampliform 19x8.5 +30 Continental Pure Contact LS 245/40-19 Stock suspension Very conservative fitment but so far I can see already about a 10% or more range impact.

    245 40 19 tires efficiency

    I just put on Conti Pure Contact LS in 245/40-19 on a new wheel that has 10 mm more offset (pokes out 10 mm further). These are Eco rated tires with a 700 treadwear and so far I've seen at least a 10-12% drop in efficiency versus the 18" Aero wheels with covers. It's about 40-45 degrees here...

    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    Also, why the hell did they make the Font smaller for the Speed? I like how they move it up and closer the left edge of the screen, but why did they have to make it smaller Font? Argghh. I'll get use to it i'm sure.

    Tailgate beeping twice - 2021 M3 SR+

    I’ve got the exact same issue on my 2021 M3 LR. It started 4 months after I purchased the car and it does it every time: two beeps when the trunk reaches its high point. Resetting the trunk travel does nothing. I’d be very interested if replacing the trunk strut fixes this as mine if only 4...

    Regen limited warning while driving and battery not near full

    I get this message regularly in weather below 40 degrees, and that's what I've immediately come to understand about it. I do a lot of short trips in the cold of around 5-6 miles and it comes up a lot....the battery just can never get warm enough on such a short trip.

    You saw a Model Y. The 3s do not have amber turn signals, even on the most recently produced ones.

    Got a bad tint job. Not sure what I should do.

    It's really difficult to get tint perfect. My 3 was done by a very very good shop and i'd say it's about 98% there. There are some imperfections in the rear tint and one small fiber behind the tint but I've gotten over it because you really have to look to find it. BUT, i'd say that is fairly...

    Vendor TeslaShields update #10

    I just received the mats and installed them. The fronts fit very well, particularly the driver side. The only thing that's odd is that the rear is just unnecessarily long; I'm talking about the parts that extend under each front seat. The middle section of the rear mat is so long that you have...

    Water Leaked Behind Center Brake Light During Tint

    Reviving this thread. Had my rear window tinted today -- horrible job by the way -- and of course they drop a not of water into the third brake light area leaving lots of dry water spots. Has anyone tried simply removing the 4 clips on the parcel shelf -- the clips that are right behind the...

    Dialing up to 50 PSI for improved efficiency

    Are you guys running the normal Michelin PS4s or the Tesla specific Michelin version (the one supposedly with the foam inside)? I've heard the Tesla specific PS4s only come in the 18 and 20 spec sizes. How is the noise of the PS4s at "normal" pressures?

    2021 LR Model 3 - How do I fix this annoying trunk lid alignment?

    This is exactly why I won’t have Tesla mess with the hood on my 2021 M3. It’s quite off from the factory but I’m just terrified they will mess it up even more. So I learn to live with it. When the Germans have a good EV for around $65k I’ll just buy one of those.

    2021 Trunk Damage Upon Open/Close

    This is a 1 month old 2021 Model 3. Never noticed this before but the trim on my back left quarter window was mounted completely incorrectly at the factory. The top of the black window trim as photographed should be flush with the metal body, but no. It’s mounted about 1/16 of inch too high...

    FS: 4-19” Martian Wheels, with Nokians G4 & TPMS Sensors

    Would you sell just the wheels and sensors? I'm not far from you and could pick up halfway or even come the whole way.

    FS: 4-19” Martian Wheels, with Nokians G4 & TPMS Sensors

    Would you part out just the wheels and sensors? I'd take both and pick up from you about halfway around Wayne, NJ (if they are in fact the bluetooth sensors).

    Got Wheels Aligned & Now Steering Wheel Is Off

    Anyone experience this? My M3 LR came brand new with the steering out of alignment -- about 2-3 degrees to the right. The car also pulled to the right. Took it to Tesla a week ago after waiting 3 weeks for an appt, and got the car back with the steering perfectly centered AND the car tracked...

    Sunk-in hood

    So are you going to try to get that fixed? I've got an appt with Tesla for July 14, but I'm honestly concerned that they might just screw it up even more, so I'm just weighing living with it....just the joy of owning a Tesla I guess!! It's crazy they let a car like that into paint and then...
