    FSD 12 and tow hitch bike rack

    Just a quick question - Have you tried FSD v12 with a rear bike rack that blocks the rear camera? I'm debating between getting a roof rack or a tow hitch, and while I know that a tow hitch bike rack or cargo box is more efficient, I also want to factor in whether a tow hitch bike rack will...

    President of GM taught us what it takes for EV to go mainstream

    Found this gem of an article on CNN business: GM president: Electric cars won't go mainstream until we fix these problems (opinion) - CNN In it Mark Reuss tells us what it would take for EV's to go mainstream. There are 3 factors apparently: 1) Range of 300 miles or higher 2) Charging...

    Freezer chest that fits in the trunk hidden compartment

    I've been doing an exhaustive search on which cooler has a perfect fit on the M3 trunk's hidden compartment. So far the best contender is a freezer bag called "AO Canvas" which still falls short for being 8.5" in height when the compartment is at least 10" tall. Once I'm done I'll share the...

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    After a year of owning the Tesla Model 3, the car is starting to build the smell of mildew when the AC turns on. The smell goes away after a few minutes, and lucky for my fiancé, she can't smell it, but I can't get over dealing with the smell on a daily basis. The Tesla service center deemed...

    Information about UV Blocking for Tinted Windows

    Hello fellow Tesla owners, Having just installed some window tint on my car, I'm curious if I'm now free from UV radiation while driving, so I decided to run a few tests to fulfill my curiosity. I did some testing and the results were surprising and disappointing. According to my UV meter...

    Pulling auxiliary power to front console

    For long trips I'd like to be able to charge two phones at once, and anything extra would be a big plus. I'm also planning to use a laptop charger which uses a cigarette port. So having more power on the front side is always a nice option. After searching around I settled on this product...

    Cheap HUD display option

    I'm completely used to not having a dashboard and speedometer in front of me, though as a geek the thought of a heads up display is still enticing. So I spent $30 and got myself one of those HUD units that uses GPS to display speed and direction. IMG_8096 by Lanzer posted Jun 12, 2018 at 1:26...

    A good place to hide your solar power bank

    As a tech geek I have 3 times the amount of USB power banks than what I'll ever use. I like to keep one in every car and the Model 3 is no exception. IMG_7797 by Lanzer posted May 30, 2018 at 2:19 AM My recent purchase is a 15Ah power bank that has a built in solar panel to keep the batteries...

    Seat Belt Stuck

    I've read about it happening on the Model S, but looks like the problem is happening on the Model 3 also. At slightly over 1000 miles the passenger side seatbelt will not release past 3 or 4 inches as the locking mechanism is engaged. I just called Tesla earlier today on the steering wheel...

    Leather peeling on steering wheel cover

    On the way to work I saw some dust resting on my steering wheel cover near the Tesla logo. While trying to brush off the dust, I found even more dust around the logo. I soon realized that it wasn't dust that was sitting on the steering wheel cover, but the leather was peeling, and me wiping...

    Cheap DIY Paint Protection Film Project

    I just paid to have my front bumper wrapped with paint protection film (PPF) as I have no confidence in wrapping the bumper myself. Though I want to wrap the front hood also, as you need to press pretty hard to close the hood, and I can see myself scratching it up pretty quickly. Surprising...

    Weathertech AVM (pics)

    I'm now a lucky/happy owner of the Tesla Model 3. When I bought my Nissan Leaf 7 years ago I was happy. When I bought my Model 3 last week I was beyond ecstatic. The Model 3 truly is my dream car, delivering the performance, battery range, features, conveniences, and style all in a quality...
