    Looking for Hansshow Power Trunk and Frunk installer around Seattle

    @m5james Do you have the detailed instructions Hansshow sent with your trunk-lift kit? I don't care to tear into any car -- let alone a Tesla -- without knowing the exact procedure to install the product and return the car to its original, unmolested appearance. Thanks!

    Seattle-area Hansshow Trunk-lift Installers?

    I traded a few email messages with Hansshow, but the messages from them stopped after I asked them to please attach the Excel file to which they had referred. Can I please ask if anyone here knows of installer approved by Hansshow doing business in the greater-Seattle area, or north of...

    Who has installed automatic trunk closing system for model 3

    Sorry about typos, but I did find a way of contacting Hansshow via a webmail link on their site. After confirming my desire to talk with an installer in the greater-Seattle area, the person said she would see if she could find an installer amenable to my request. I'm guessing no one else on...

    EAP/FSD Driving Visuaization? [rainbow road]

    Thanks, I didn't want to stop driving - even drove around the block after passing my home - because I didn't want Rainbow Road to end. I purchased EAP Tuesday, and am scheduled to have the NVIDIA GPU installed on 14 December. Again, thanks for the information about Rainbow Road!

    EAP/FSD Driving Visuaization? [rainbow road]

    Since this was my first post to YouTube, I didn't realize disabling embedding would create such a mess for users on this site. If anyone can tell me how I can change that setting on this video, I'd appreciate the advice, thanks!

    Who has installed automatic trunk closing system for model 3

    Regarding Nagnusen Moss, I wasn't enticed to buy my Tesla because of over-bold warrant promises. Please help me understand you point. And, "nope," there are no installers of powered Tesla trunk lids in Seattle, or "nope" what?

    Who has installed automatic trunk closing system for model 3

    FWIW, I've talked with Tesla reps about the powered liftgate installation, and was told any breaching of the wiring harness voids the vehicle's warranty. My warranty expires in a couple days, so I'll be interested if anyone knows of a Seattle-area installer, thanks!

    Cannot clean Model 3 windows for the life of me.

    How in the world do people reach lower than about midway down the inside of the windshield, while applying enough pressure to clean the inside of the windshield. I'm on my second Model 3, and my arms don't reach the bottom the windshield, even when my forehead bangs into the glass. My hope...

    daily battery charge rate recommended

    Boy, was I ever run through the ringer about a year ago when I mentioned Tesla's recommendation to "deep-cycle" the battery to improve BMS accuracy. More than one person commented that "...everyone knew that isn't true," or words to that effect.

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    In response to my message to the local Service Center that it had been more than three years since my car was originally purchased (not by me), and I had no service history, I requested brake system be flush, brakes be inspected and replaced if indicated, and brake calipers and guide-pins be...

    Aero Covers

    Thanks for your thoughts, and I'm with you on not liking the look of dark alloy wheels...on any vehicle. May I ask how you clean the Aero covers when they are removed? I know I don't want to lay them face-down on my brushed concrete driveway, but I don't have a clue how to thoroughly clean...

    Tesla Offer Trunk/Frunk Group Buy (3/S/X)

    Thanks, sometimes it's good when referring to a phone to describe whether it's an iPhone or an Android, because with an Android phone you can only access controls by opening the app. I used an iPhone for a couple weeks a few years ago, so I'm completely ignorant regarding iOS.

    Steel winter rims?

    May I ask, coconutboy84, what from vehicle and year are the steel wheels you purchased and, if you have fitted them to your Model 3, are the steel wheels hub-centric and does everything fit well? My interest is I'd like to get some steel wheels to use while I have the Aero wheels finished in...

    Vessel To Fit Model 3 Cup Holder

    @Whoster69 The Brick Red was the more subtle of the available red colors, so that's what I purchased. @hijimmyliin As someone suggested, the Model 3 appears to have been designed around the Yeti!

    My Tesla is red, as is m 20-ounce Yeti Rambler Tumbler! I hope iu enjoy your Model 3, and I know the drive will be more enjoyable with a Yes Rambler at-hand.

    Vessel To Fit Model 3 Cup Holder

    I use the 20 ounce Yeti Rambler, which fits perfectly in the cup holders in the Model 3! The 30 ounce Rambler may also fit, but it's so wide the one placed in one of the cup holders would block use of the other.

    Disabling Model 3 AutoPilot without Disabling Cruise Control

    Thanks, ecarfan, but after years of competitive driving, I don't think I'll ever learn to steer in a direction I don't intend to procede, or to brake when I don't want to decelerate, in order to disable autosteer. Deeply ingrained thought pattern are not easily altered, but thanks!

    Disabling Model 3 AutoPilot without Disabling Cruise Control

    Thank you, Tam, I didn't realize cruise remained enabled after manually resisting autosteer. I don't like doing that, though, because of the jerk in the direction you're steering when autosteer releases control. If you're near the edge of a lane, this action can result in an...

    Disabling Model 3 AutoPilot without Disabling Cruise Control

    When I'm in AutoPilot and traffic gets congested on the freeway, I tend to disable AP with an up-tap on the right stalk, but that also disables the Cruise Control feature. So, instead of a single,, quick tap do accomplishwhat I'd like, I need two separate taps on the stalk -- one up-tap to...

    Experience with a Good Model 3 Car Cover

    Thanks! Do you know if the cover offered by Evannex has straps or cords to string from one side of the bottom to the other, to minimize the amopunt of debris blown up the side and acting as abrasive on the finish?

    Experience with a Good Model 3 Car Cover

    When I've covered cars in the past, it's always been during inside storage. Even then, though, I'd remove the cover every month or so and wash the car. Before again covering the car, I'd let it dry for a day or more. As you suggest, dust and debris beneath a cover on a car would have the...

    Experience with a Good Model 3 Car Cover

    I know there's likely not much experience here, since the car is so new, but does anyone have experience with a brand and style of cover that will protect the car from wind and rain during outside storage in the winter months? Thanks!

    Vessel To Fit Model 3 Cup Holder

    Thanks, @Daniellane, from the original pictures, and the way you had the bag opened, I was certain it was a sleeve designed to look like a shopping bag; hence, no results when I searched for an IKEA cup sleeve!

    Vessel To Fit Model 3 Cup Holder

    Thanks, jdrsteiny, that must have been a joy to discover a new car that fit what I'm guessing must be your favorite travel cup! It sounds like the cup's fit in your Model 3 is almost enough to justisfy a drive, just to use the cup!

    @redhookder: Thanks for the Yeti idea, I've heard good words about then on other sites. Would the one you prefer be referred to as the Rambler?

    Vessel To Fit Model 3 Cup Holder

    Thank you @Daniellane, I like those bags! If you have the formal name IKEA uses for the bags, or the iten number that'd help my search, thanks! I searched both eBay and IKEA's site, but with no success.

    Vessel To Fit Model 3 Cup Holder

    I'm not familiar with the cup holders in the Model X, but I know the ones in the Model S are adjustable. That not being the case with the cup holders in the Model 3, has anyone found a specific brand, model and capacity of vacuum insulated tumbler, without a handle, that fits very shuggly in...
