    Metallic rattle rear/trunk area

    Try a microfiber cloth over the bracket where the seats lock in place. I found my rear left seat one rattled a bit and this solved it. Just put two miocro fiber towels in place when you lock the seats in place and see if that solves it.

    TSLA and EVgo

    Thank you for sharing. I tried a straight forward charge yesterday with my new ccs adapter and had no luck but hopeful to try autocharge+. Curious what your max charge rate was?

    Tesla SC 75KW vs EVGo vs Electrifyamerica

    Note evgo here in WA has 350 kw chargers but I have yet to charge from one successfully. A works like a champ though at 150 kw

    Electrify America general discussion

    Used a EA for the first time with my model 3 today in Seattle and just now checked my EA app and I have no charge for the session. I didnt really pay attention to the charging screen during the session. Just wanted to test new CCS adapter. Woot.

    OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

    I travel a fair bit (Seattle to Ohio and back plus a few trips to Colorado) and a CCS adapter would have been helpful a handful of times for us. Certainly worth the price for our use case.

    CCS adapter case?

    Got my adapter today and I think I'll try using an old video camera bag to hold it secure/safe. That pin looks too easy to break but haven't heard of that occurring yet. I do like the Korean bag including a bit of a 'bumper' between the adapter and car.

    Suddenly, my Samsung SSD music library isn't recognized

    @Vicj - same thing for me is going on. Did you ever find a fix?

    Music and Cam files on same USB storage?

    I setup mine using FLAC and that seems to work great and sounds awesome.

    2022.8.2

    i came out to my car yesterday morning to find the issue resolved! I had done nothing since the previous evening except to setup an appt with Tesla mobile service. I tested the trunk opening several times throughout the day and it worked perfectly each time. I contacted service and cancelled...

    2022.8.2

    installed last night on my 2021 m3 (Feb build) Long Range and now my trunk is behaving oddly and won't open all the way. I've gone through a reset (scroll wheel) and tried to set the height with the button to full open and no luck - the trunk just barely opens. Opening all the way manually and...

    Teslafi is showing a jump in firmware versions from 4.18.x to 4.21.x - what.. no 4.20.xx ?? realll Elon?

    I've been patiently waiting to see a version 4.20.x show up thinking there was no way that Tesla would let that go by without a easter egg in the software. If Tesla Fi is any indication - it looks like they may skip it entirely. Still holding out hope though to have a version of software that...

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    I have had them now for a few months and find they are super easy to clean. They handle the curb rash pretty well too... Much less noticable than the rims 😊

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    Note that a plastic trim removal tool works fine too. Just be sure to get behind the center caps when prying.

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    I used rubber all weather stripping rather than foam with a thought it would hold up longer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0816GTPY3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_D1NFYWW3PVCH68B0767R

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    Let us know how it works for you. I'll still take mine off every few months and clean underneath for reasons you state.

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    So far no issues with the method I used of cutting small pieces and covering the point of contact ridges. Also I scraped one slightly against a curb and I can barely notice. Much better than without a cover. So far I'm still very happy with them but I recommend the weatherstrip fix.
  17. SeaM3White2021

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    I used all weather rubber weatherstripping to cover the raised plastic that rubs against the outer rim on each of my covers. The are now silent and not scratching my rims. Note the center cap is the primary piece that holds these to your wheels. The move around a bit without something to prevent...

    MY LR New Features

    I have seen in multiple places that the 21 m3 LR is 82 kwh in the US. The reserve of 4 kwh plus 78 kwh that I calculate in my car = 82 kwh matching this information. I think what really matters is usable battery, how you drive and degradation over time. I love driving this car and I'm...

    Cleaning Off Dead Insects

    Just finished 2500 miles on a road trip. I cleaned bugs off once a day with microfiber and detail spray. Then washed the car at a self wash car wash. Takes only a few minutes each day and easy. Note I have 303 nano Graphene coating on the car as well. Pic from yesterday.

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    I will be doing a very long trip (WA to Ohio) in the next week and I capture my data on teslafi so if anyone is interested in the wh/mile info from the trip or anything else that I can provide, let me know and I'll do my best to capture and share.

    2021 heated steering wheel Discussion thread

    Since your car comes from Fremont - I think we can say with certainty that if you purchase a LR now, then it will have a heated wheel. SR+ - who knows - if its really important to you then go with the LR. Good luck and enjoy.

    2021 Refresh: White Seats with Black Fabric Inner

    I'm not sure I wouldn't accept but that does look off. Is it only on the interior side of the seat? A few more pix? How much more do you pay for white interior there?

    How did you tint rear window?

    Thanks for the pics. I have white/white 21 model 3 and a tint appt on the 15th of this month so seeing these pics and options helps a ton. I'm thinking 15 back window and on back window with 25 on front as I believe legal in WA State is 24. I don't care about heat here in the NW and with the...

    Supercharger - Seattle, WA - NE Northgate Way

    good to know about the connectivity between Plugshare and Supercharger locations. Coming from Bolt/LEAF world, these usually had to be manually added by someone. Also, I think I saw a merge of sorts happen after I posted this because the location updated to show "coming soon" and changed to...

    Supercharger - Seattle, WA - NE Northgate Way

    Awesome. I do wish they had fixed those parking stripes before launching but so glad to see them operational. I'll get a daytime picture here at lunchtime when I can do a few errands and make a stop.

    Supercharger - Seattle, WA - NE Northgate Way

    that's funny. I took the picture and hadn't even really thought about that as I'm just excited for the chargers to go live. I hope someone comes around and paints the actual stalls with green or something to pretty that up a bit.

    will they appear live on the tesla map instantly or will there be hours/days delay? I can drive down a few blocks and check them out on this lovely day.

    Can't sign into YouTube - Plex fix not working

    Ditto this worked for me. Just picked up my new m3 on Friday and glad to get this working. I used a better theater site to access youtube tv and watched.some March madness in the car today. TV in the car is pretty cool on that screen.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Had never noticed that the LRs have Tesla spelled out on the brake calipers until just tonight when I pealed off the aros and put the caps on. Note that of you do this - update your wheel config to get better mile estimates with the slightly less range. Another note - every calci do comes up...

    Thank you. Any hint what a meter cabinet looks like? I guess I can try and figure that out the first time I supercharge. Oh... and home and with new car!! Woot..

    Supercharger - Seattle, WA - NE Northgate Way

    oh - this is work since last night. I came by last night as I live just a couple blocks away. I can visit daily if there is anything else to watch out for? How does Tesla announce or make available superchargers? I am on my way to pick up my new Model 3 tonight.. :).

    Statistics from the order tracking spreadsheet for fun

    due to the naming convention of the rows being dynamic, I have to manually update the visualization each time the data refreshes. So.. I'll just leave this image from the most recent update for reference for others to set expectations from day of VIN receipt to actual delivery date:

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The 9 is the first of the last 6 digits. Folks on here are providing the last 6 as the rest of the digits are the same. I would guess that once we blow past 999999 then the vins will start to include alpha characters in those last 6. One has to wonder if Tesla will do anything for Model 3...

    Anyone try the new Turtle Wax Pro Graphene Wax Yet?

    sorry.. typing on a phone is not a skill of mine. :) - "put on a top coat of carnuba wax"... Also - I expect my brand new M3 to be plenty shiny but I could post before/after pics if desired. It's all just learning for me and I like to do as much as I can myself.

    Me too... Monday at 11 AM pickup. Paid for car today and it shows all paid off. could time go slower. Side note - Update the spreadsheet. That data was super helpful to me and populating for others gives them an idea of what to expect.
