Interesting. I had read the opposite, but maybe it was more cautionary than necessary. I suppose if I find it difficult to sell the spoiler I’ll just install it myself. Thanks for the info, Kenriko!

This is key. So long as you’re purchasing a quality wrap from a reputable brand, the installer’s skill and customer service far outweighs whether one brand’s wrap is better than another. I ended up going with SunTek because the installer is very well regarded, had a great price point and was...

Yes, it’s still for sale. I decided against installing the spoiler because I’ve grown to like the sans-spoiler look, and I don’t want to deal with needing to have my ceramic coating sanded off on the trunk lip so that the 3M adhesive will property bond. Had the spoiler been delivered with my...

I just received the spoiler for my performance Model 3 yesterday and have decided that I don’t want it. I’m asking $400. Local sale would be preferred, but given that I am in Boise, Idaho, I don’t think I’ll have much success. Therefore, I’m happy to send via mail at buyers expense. Some pics...

I imagine the SLC service center must be getting them in slowly since I just had mine delivered during a service visit, for another issue, in Boise; I did have to ask if any were available though. I’m almost certain our mobile tech’s receive their parts from SLC since that’s the service center I...

Best tip would be to move somewhere far away from a service center. I am 5 hours away from the closest one, so most everything is done via mobile tech. In all seriousness though, I’m surprised they aren’t pushing mobile tech service for minor repairs like this across the country. Seems silly to...

Had mobile service replace the filters and perform the evaporator cleaning. Seemed like an easy enough process, but below is a basic outline of the steps taken after accessing the area where the filters live, a picture of the cleaner used, and service receipt. Spray the entire can of kool-it...

I’ve decided to pay Tesla to replace filters and clean the hvac system. Annoying that the fix isn’t quoted as being under warranty, but I figure if I pay now then I’ll have grounds to complain later for warranty cleanings if the smell returns. Also, I noticed my AC hasn’t been very cold when...

I’m curious if anyone who has the Tesla branded charging pad can voice their opinion on whether the Tesla version or Nomad version is a better purchase, or if there are noticeable differences between the two. I’ve read many people are happy with their Nomads, but I’d like to buy the Tesla...

Odd question, but is the trim piece included because the stock trim is too narrow to allow a phone to sit on the charger and rest between the trim’s lip? I’m planning on getting Tesla’s charger when it’s back in stock, but will have to find somewhere that sells matte black vinyl for the trim...

I have mobile tech scheduled to come out to do the same evaporator cleaning. While the service center said it wouldn’t be a warranty claim, I’m hopeful the tech will think otherwise. In the mean time, I saw a post somewhere else where someone suggested running the heater on high for a bit to dry...

I’ve continued using the 2 bucket method with ONR in an abundance of caution, but I do recall seeing my detailer only use one bucket now that you mention it. I do use the big gold sponge and squeeze it out pretty thoroughly between rinse and ONR buckets though. Thanks for the tip!

Is this a solution to the vinegar like smell I’ve experienced sometimes when the AC is just starting/for a short period after the AC being turned off? I’ve read a few other people experiencing the same thing, but I’ve yet to pinpoint the cause. Unrelated, but has anyone else had issues with...

Interesting, for some reason I thought it only auto saved if the alarm went off, but would keep recent, no alarm triggered recordings for X amount of time. Guess I’ll have to be more proactive in cleaning my USB drive or buy an actual HDD. Thanks for the info!

I noticed this recently and am confused by it. I generally turn sentry mode on when I leave my car in a public area, but sentry ends up recording massive amounts of video when nothing is happening. I’m not sure if noise from the parking garage I’m normally in is kicking sentry mode on or what...

This is what I had installed and no problems to report. Overall, I am very happy with it, but sometimes wish I had gone slightly lighter to blend in better with the glass above driver seat; I ended up getting 30% all around. I originally wanted crystalline or spectra installed, but I couldn’t...

I bought this tire brush package a while ago and haven’t noticed any damage during washes, and everything seems to come off pretty easily. It’s overpriced for 3 brushes (but brand bought stuff always is!) and I’m sure there are better ones out there, but I like the handle sizes on all of them...

I usually drive ~30 miles\day and plug in to recharge to 80% nightly (or as often as I remember). Not sure if the battery would benefit from being drained a bit more between charging, but I figure the BMS is good enough at keeping everything fairly healthy.

I vaguely remember reading, when I was researching between Xpel and Suntek, that the films are the same thickness but the adhesive Xpel uses is thicker. Maybe the thicker adhesive will help absorb more of an impact, but I’d wager it has more to do with the individual rock and angle thrown than...

Hi all, I remember reading a while ago that people were having issues with windshield tint applications ruining electronics due to a channel that water was draining into. Was this ever corrected in later builds, or is there somewhere I should avoid cleaning when washing interior glass (to...

It’s funny you ask this, I went to my detailer to buy more Opti Coat product from him yesterday and because of this thread I asked the very same question, among a few others. He said he wasn’t sure of the science with PPF self healing and ceramic coating, other than it works, but the layer of...

I have a small area where my PPF has been torn due to a rock being flung at my driver side A pillar. I was able to reheat the torn portion and it seems to have bonded back to the pillar, but the ppf will not self heal around the edges where it was ripped. My understanding is if it tears/rips it...

I had Opti Guard leather & vinyl put on my seats and other applicable interior, and Opti Guard fabric everywhere it made sense. My interior generally doesn’t get dirty (no kids) and I can’t say whether I was sold snake oil since I haven’t had the car long, but I got a decent deal since my...

They have mine as well. It’s not the cheapest rate around and their home owners was a bit more expensive than other insurance company’s rates, but bundling saves a tiny bit and I’ve always had a good experience working with/through them.

Bummer, and here I am only 3 referrals short for the forged performance wheels. :(

I recently went through the process of selling my car that had minor paint damage, which was professionally corrected, but because CarFax showed it was involved in an accident (a term CarFax uses very loosely) it was incredibly annoying to sell, with many folks turning away immediately and...

I don’t have the Nomad charger in my car, but I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work with a stick on wallet; however, all of the wireless chargers I have purchased explicitly state not to have credit card(s)/anything with a chip and/or mag strip between the phone and charger when wireless...

I second ONR (Optimum No Rinse) or, what I use currently, OCNR (Opti Coat No Rinse); my understanding is they are basically the same product, but OCNR is supposed to be better on ceramic coated cars and remain slicker between washes, even on non coated vehicles. I make a 2 gallon batch when...

They’re noisier than the stock tires and feel a little floaty (especially when aggressively cornering), but I have come to terms with those cons and don’t regret my purchase of R3s since they’re still better, even on cold, dry pavement than most other snow tires on the market (my opinion, no...

I am also a little disappointed in the R3s cold, dry pavement handling, but with the limited winter tire options for the Model 3’s heft, I still think the R3s are currently one of the best options. While I didn’t have high expectations in regards to the dry handling when I initially bought the...

I noticed the sound system sounds different as well. I am on 42.8. While I am not an audiophile (and can’t explain exactly what I am hearing), songs that I’ve listened to many times in the Model 3 have a new sound/background noise to them that I hadn’t heard before.

I’ll have to measure when I get home, but I can assure you the wheel clears the caliper just fine, or I am missing my rear calipers :D. When I initially sent an email to service asking for clarification, they said the wheel spokes and caliper clearance wasn’t enough. At first I thought that...

I bought my OEM 19 wheels private party from a member of another forum. My understanding is/was that they purchased the $1,500 wheel upgrade, then decided to go aftermarket. In the pics I have attached, you can see a slight “step” (the counterbore) around the center hole of both the 19” bought...

When I picked up my car I was told they didn’t have them in stock anymore and to call back in ~month since they were supposed to be getting more, but they didn’t know when (this was around the Q3 ramp though, so Tesla communication was complete chaos). I called last week to ask about the 5k...

I bought this a few years ago and still use the buckets/grit guards. In addition, I bought the mini air blaster thing to help spray water out of hard to dry areas. Are the above products worth the cost? Probably not, as I am certain Adams just slaps their logo on something you could find on...

I think they went off what is listed on the door (42, I think?). Though the PSI shown for each tire on the screen is anywhere from 41-44 (fronts seem to be on the lower end, while rears are usually higher) even after driving around a bit. I might take it back in once the temps average ~20s and...

Got around to putting R3s on the car earlier this week. All good, so far. No snow yet, just cold, dry pavement. They are certainly louder than the stock tires, but I’d chalk the noise up to the lack of noise-reducing foam (compared to stock tires). Will be exciting to see how they perform on...

Good news, everyone! The 19” OEM wheels that I purchased from a forum member (the “other forum”) seem to work just fine. The weather finally got to the point where mounting snow tires made sense, so I had it done tonight at a local Discount Tire. I haven’t put many miles on them yet, but I have...

I never use it. Too much flex in the hood when closing to make the risk/reward worthwhile, to me :confused:. I’ve tried following the manual, using my palm with other hand on top near the emblem, etc. nothing feels safe.

Did you use Sharpie on the obnoxious logo or something else? Looks good!

Other than the minor test I did in Sept, I have not. Once the weather turns I’ll have my snow tires mounted and balanced on the OEM 19” wheels and test them out. From what I saw last month, I don’t think it’ll be a problem (or at least I am hoping/praying :D). I’ll be sure to provide an update...

~$255/tire for 235/40/19s.
