    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    i recall a post somewhere on this forum that aftermarket like the ones you linked with the black foam melting or pull tabs breaking. I'll try to look for it later.

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    once u get it started u gotta start doing like a Push/pull. push it from the entry point until it kinda sticks and doesn't want to move anymore and pull it from the tip of the gasket until that starts to stop moving as well then repeat. It wasn't too bad, just gotta use some strength

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    tip from my experience, When installing either the left or right plastic trim, make sure the middle piece is semi attached to one of the sides as you do so. Otherwise the middle trim cant fit underneath the side trim after the fact because the side trim that you choose to install first will sit...

    Did this mechanic damage my steering system?

    While I still think you are imaging things, confirmation bias. Find a really flat road to really test, let the car coast and see if it tries to go right. Under acceleration, it is normal for cars to turn one way or the other even in AWD. Google "torque steer". As for technical side in case you...

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    Did u read the bandaid fix people are suggesting? Turning off the AC but keeping airflow for the last couple minutes of your drive. I think the real issue is moisture/water coming in from the right below the wiperblades where the intake is. Its just a big hole that water can get through. There...

    US Clean Vehicle Tax Credit List (starting April 18, 2023)

    I'd bet its due to the Chinese sourced LFP battery vs US sourced NCA in the Performance. I'd think the LR qualifies too if this is the case.

    2023 Model 3 RWD curb/corner weights

    3,885 lb is the official spec for LFP SR 3,627 lb is the official spec for NCA SR. 10% more capacity for ~250 lb gain. Makes me appreciate the weight savings of the NCA alot even tho LFP gets a longer lifespan.

    Audio speaker upgrade

    Its probably made in china and they used google translate. I think the sound difference with the additional speakers is worth doing. I'd do the hanshow kit it seems easier. My LR sounds a ton better than my friends SR.

    Tesla replacing ultrasonic sensors with Tesla Vision

    the USS sensors on my 2022 Model 3 cant detect the parking wheel stops since IIRC the manual states it cant see below 5 inches. Maybe Tesla vision with memory, can detect it. Regardless, luckily, the model 3 has slightly more clearance than the wheel stops. I'm not sure if they will delete USS...

    Model 3 delivered with 75 foot-pounds lug-nut torque [Update: 75 ft lbs to loosen, not tighten]

    2015+ mustangs use 150ft/lb. M14x1.5mm is what is on the mustang and i believe on the 3 as well. so 129 isnt all that crazy

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    i removed the old filters and used the odor eliminator in the same hole where the filters would have been. followed the instructions and put the new filters in. I dont think the vents is a good spot and the intake by the hood may be doable if you avoid the drainage hole. But I think using the...

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    For everyone, does this smell go away after like 10-15 seconds of the AC turning on? Or is it persistent? I have something like this, (smells like glue to me) for the first 15 seconds and goes away. Sometimes its not even there.

    Radar Detector need for Model 3

    the 12V port based on my knowledge and experience so far is: its powered until the car goes to sleep. If sentry mode or summon is on, its always on. Also, i dont know if the V1 has this feature but the unidens (gps models) offer a power save feature where if the gps detects speed at 0mph or no...

    no unless u dont have full coverage on your other vehicle then it gets weird sometimes with certain dealers not willing to let it off lot. Uncertain with Tesla, but if you have full coverage youre good to go.

    Will a M3 AWD with Accel Boost Beat These Cars?

    since you said legal drag race, it probably means a prepped surface then by that, all the cars listed can tie or beat the Tesla. but as said before, their not going to be as consistent since all of those are RWD cars except the TT RS.

    Will a M3 AWD with Accel Boost Beat These Cars?

    Lose on a roll without a doubt to any of them. C8 corvette should win in all conditions. Tie with the TTRS for 0-60 or you lose if your battery is at low charge. Beat the rest. Quarter mile: lose to all except if the dodge cant get a grip/bad driver. Your advantage is consistency.
