I havent read about a queue once opting in for public FSD. I’m assuming this isn’t unique to me? I was expecting to be entered into driving habit evaluation. Others in similar scenario? Any sort of ETA on beginning the evaluation?

Now that's what I'm talking about! What a great video and excellent explanation. Thank you so much!

I just picked up my Model S Plaid. Is there a feature or anyway to turn on all cameras while attempting to parallel park? Last thing I want to do is curb my Arachnids. Thank you for any advice! Hoping I'm simply overlooking a feature?

I just picked up my Plaid a couple of weeks ago. Besides all of the the improvements the one that I'm most blown away by is the performance at low / lower SOC and of course the car pulls no matter the speed. It's hard to imagine that Ceramic Coating Motors, and improved cooling has essentially...

Hello Gents- I'm purchasing a set of 2021 Arachnid Wheels from a guy. Purchasing tires and then will need to add TPMS. Are they the same as the 2020 Model S, 3 Etc? Any good suggestions being sold on Amazon? Thank you for the help!

WOW Thats terrible to hear. I get mine on Friday. Anything I should pay attention to regarding the battery?

I have owned 4 Tesla to date. From P85D, Model 3 Performance, to P100D. Everyone of them was disappointing once the SOC fell below say 70% especially at freeway speeds if someone wanted to race. I'm stoked that you can even have this thing run as hard as it does at 50% let alone 20%. Are you...

Brooks from Dragtimes has been doing some tests as of recent. Different SOC. Most recently today he posted a Youtube short at 20% SOC. The car was still pulling 0-60 in 2.2 seconds and Quartermile at 9.9 seconds! Does anyone have insight on what Tesla has done to solve this glaring issue with...

Same boat. Ordered Performance Model 3 at the end of July. Originally had delivery dates 8/12 to 8/26 this morning updated to 9/1 to 9/21. Norther California. Bummed.

Any kits out there that would work with the P3D? Looking for a complete kit recommendation. Thank you for any help!

Holy *sugar*! this is about the most hilarious thing I have read in the last couple of years. Bravo my friend. Bravo. 👏 😂😂😂

Does Tesla still have a satisfaction guarantee of any sort?

Any idea what body kit he was running?

Agreed. That and I think red shows off the lines better

I would love to know the brand of body kit on that car. I wish I snapped a picture last week when I saw it in person. It was a dark flat black / gray lowered with the plate batmobile or a variation of that name.

Poll with white interior what is the favorite color of 2021 Performance Model 3? Red or White? I have both on order with equal delivery dates. Prior to the wheel change and factory chrome delete I preferred the red color. Now I'm debating due to the storm trooper look. Thanks for the input!

Would love some feedback and possibly links to favorite kits avail? Thank you in advance!

On my last Model 3 I had one solid tint from the back window up to the roof so as not to have a cheesy looking line in the tint. The bummer about this is the rear passengers losing the ability to see much at nighttime through the roof glass. Has anyone tried to use a Photochromic film for this...

If you look at page one of the thread you can get a good look how far up he went. No need to remove the dash to get good coverage. In picture #10 about half way down the first page you can get a good idea of the coverage.

One more thing to mention Gents. I'm absolutely blown away and so glad I added the NVX Sub / Amp combo. It completely changes the sound in the Car. My Lord, the low end bass was lacking in the premium sound system. Not anymore! I was hesitant to bother with adding the 10" Subwoofer. Didn't know...

roughly how much material went into this (4 doors + rear area)? I wasn't paying attention to the material used on specific parts of the car. I will tell you however we did use every last inch of the roll I purchased (4x25ft roll) - did you purchase the material, if yes, could you tell me what...

You're very welcome. I would no doubt do it again in any car in the future.

Interesting question. I can't speak on temperature insulation. The only way I can describe it, you know when you get in to a Car that is really well insulated IE S550 Mercedes? When you close the doors and it makes a solid thud, your ears almost feel like they may be clogged a little due to the...

Well Ladies & Gents. The sound proof project is complete. If anyone that is local to Sacramento wants to compare side by side you will be astonished on how much quieter the Car is. It's hard to describe or put into words except that it's literally night and day better! VERY happy with the...

No he applied the MLV to the non insulated sections of the Car. Now that it's all complete, I can say it's night and day quieter. I just took the Tech for a Test Drive, He rides in Tesla's Daily obviously. Said he has never heard anything this quiet. Not even close! He literally couldn't believe...

The waffle sections you're seeing are Noico (basically dynamat) the installer cut sections to secure the MLV. The MLV Is by far superior in sound absorption. The MLV isn't self adhesive like the Noico.

No Doubt the doors made the biggest difference. This weekend he's coming out to line behind the rear seats, rear wheel well, and cargo area. Then that is it!

Very true regarding the SPL meter results. While I do see improvement on the meter. There is a LARGE improvement to my ear. Mainly the overall solid feel to the interior as opposed to noises having a echoing effect it is now hushed and muffled. Dramatic difference. So much so I can isolate any...

I'll ask the tech this exact question. I'm glad you mentioned it! I can see why that would make a difference at higher speeds especially.

Good Morning T- Shoot me a PM and I can give you the details on the installer. He works for Tesla. Knows all of the models Frame up. Amazing Detailed Work. He's coming out again this weekend to complete the Car. By the way the most noticeable difference was the Doors in the Mass Loaded Vinyl...

I have a set of 19" Slipstreams. Tires and Wheels have approx 3800 Miles on them. No Marks, Scratches or dings. I live 30 Mins North of Sacramento. PM if you live in the area.

I haven't seen any kits advertised for the Model S. Have seen a ton for the 3 however I bet a door sill kit would go a long way if someone were to test and make an effective one.

That's a strange way to interrupt my comment above. Haha! I'm actually laughing that you took it that way. Pretty simple I was saying instead of getting frustrated at no response through email or phone try going in, in person. I have found it works great from my experience. Unsure how that came...

I'm old school I guess. After several attempts trying to contact support through email and phone I decided to establish a good rapport with my local service advisor. I've gone out of my way to show my appreciation of great service, in turn they always go above and beyond for me. Last week I was...

I have messed with my adjustments also. Yes the Buffeting Noise is very annoying when it does happen.

Are you running 21" Wheels and Tires as well? Would be nice to do an apples to apples comparison.

Yes that sounds like a plan. I live in Foresthill. Once she's all completed in the next couple of weeks we can meet up and compare notes

You're welcome. I have benefited so much from others taking time to post their projects. I'll do my best to give back to the community the same. I live Northern California. About 30 mins outside of Roseville / Rocklin.

Material for the bulk roll MLV is less than $200. I got in touch directly with the Manufacture and purchased a 4x25ft roll for $160. The Self Adhesive Butyl is Noico Brand which will be used for areas like plastic panels to prevent rattling. The Noico I want to say is $68 per box.(I purchased...

I don't think Tesla Omitted additional insulation to prevent adding weight. I think it has much more to do with production cost and time invested in order to do so. I wouldn't really expect the level of effort that I'm putting in from any Manufacture really.

I'm estimating 40lbs when all is done. If I was after weight reduction I could gut the Car I suppose but that is not my goal here. In the full scheme of things adding such a nominal amount of weight will make zero difference. However many benefits to be gained by adding the MLV. Maybe I could...

No not yet. Honestly my biggest complaint is ambient road noise. I know 100% that the wheels and tires are not helping. I plan to do basically the entire Car wheel wells, door panels etc. Besides the noise dampening and prevention of unwanted rattles as the Car ages this should also provide...

Haha I'm with you on this one. I was fortunate to have access to a Tesla Technician. He's stripped the S. 3, and X down the the frame many times before. Hard working Young Man. He made sure to bring replacement clips and any else that may present an issue.

Here’s the Car at 75% covered with MLV from earlier today. (Covered Firewall to start of the rear cushion area

Well there’s a reason that Tesla must put the few strips of butyl that they do under the carpet. I’ll let you know how my full coverage sounds tomorrow. I’m having the guy come out 2 weekend’s from today to finish the door panel, wheel wells, and the rear cargo area. Which Is good for the...

Very little if any sound insulation from Tesla. In the pictures you can see the MLV being paid down. The Foil looking patches Tesla installs from the factory. Which are few and far between.

I'll let you guys know. According to the Tech working on it there are a lot of areas in the car that have very little if any sound insulation. I told him I want it lined front to back with the 1lb MLV and then the panels I will have him use the Self Adhesive Butyl

Looking for the 19" Arachnids in Matte Black.

Hello all. Plan on doing a complete Mass Loaded Vinyl / Butyl sound proofing of my 2018 Modes S P100D 21" Arachnids. I did some DBA Driving Videos at various speed. I'll keep you all posted if the MLV and Butyl makes a perceived difference as well as DBA levels.
