    Third party 18” winter wheel options for Model 3 Performance?

    I ended up buying some used after market wheels that someone had got through a group buy on Facebook. They’re 18” but with large enough space to clear the brake calipers, and they have the modification to fit the hub mount. I’ve had no issues with these wheels, but nowhere seems to sell them...

    Vendor Official Tessie app talk

    Hi, I installed Tessie a few days ago - and am noticing a few issues. I’m not sure if they’re caused by Tessie, or just more visible because of Tessie. The first issue is that the graph of cabin temperature is showing a saw toothed pattern, where there is a constant cycle of heating up then...

    DIY brake clean and lube

    Tesla recommend it’s done every 12500 miles in countries where the roads have salt on them in the winter. So my plan was to do it when putting the summer wheels on each Spring.

    DIY brake clean and lube

    Hi, I’m planning to follow the service manual to do the brake caliper clean and lube. I wondered if anyone knew where to find out what is the “Tesla approved brake cleaner” and “Tesla approved brake lubricant”? I also noticed that the Performance front brake calliper instructions say to...

    Third party 18” winter wheel options for Model 3 Performance?

    Are there any differences between different revisions of the M3P or will a wheel from any M3P fit any M3P?

    Model 3 paint protection film issues

    My recommendation is not to buy the Tesla model 3 paint protection film - it doesn’t fit properly so dirt gets trapped under the top edge of the lower film, and the Tesla shop haven’t replied to any of my emails, and there doesn’t appear to be any phone number to connect them. Live and learn -...

    Third party 18” winter wheel options for Model 3 Performance?

    I’ve been going round and round in circles trying to work out what to do for winter wheels with the Tesla Model 3 Performannce (2023). I’m aware that the hub shape is different to the other Model 3’s, and the brake calipers are larger. Both of these mean that oem tesla 18” wheels won’t fit...

    Model 3 paint protection film issues

    Forgot to go on to say that Tesla Shop still haven’t replied to my email after 3 days : no sure if that their usual level of service, not very impressed.

    Model 3 paint protection film issues

    Sorry for the various erroneous autocorrects - I can’t see a way of editing my post. Clearly it’s dirt (not “direct”) collecting under the film which means I’ll need to remove the film. Potentially £53 wasted if Tesla don’t step up!

    Model 3 paint protection film issues

    I installed the Tesla paint protection film surely after collecting my Model 3. I had issues at the time I installed it : the instructions show that the upper and lower pieces should be installed against the change of angle and says that it should not over hang any edges. The problem I had is...
