To the folks who have successfully gotten the retrofit installed, would any of you be so kind as to help me satisfy a personal curiosity: Could you pop the panel under your rear air vents and take a few pictures (from different angles) of the wiring harness and adapter that is (allegedly)...

I'm in the same boat as the rest of the 2018 folks and wanted to share my experience just now. I ordered the retrofit kit via the mobile app back when it first dropped and made an appointment at the Service Center for Sunday morning. They kept the car through Monday evening at which time the...

Heather, your experience really scares me. I live in the same town (albeit closer to Vasona) and have only just started going down the path of solar + PWs -- I am not looking forward to going through what you had to go through... Thank you for sharing. I will try to use this information to...

Looking sharp! As bad as the US-spec lights were, it seems downright awful and shortsighted the way Tesla shoehorned the turn signal with the brake lights, and the fog/reverse lights in the EU/UK version. Your post confirms my suspicions that the outboard light swap would simply be plug-and-play...

@thebestiam1 I think your best bet would be to DM @Nomisal -- they mentioned they were doing some further testing and, when fixed, could potentially send out a special, corrected version of the harness:

The chance of improved fit and finish by replacing the inner lights sounds super promising! I've received all of the parts except for the ones from China (haven't ordered the lights themselves yet though), so I'll be sitting here twiddling my thumbs for a few more weeks/months before everything...

Really appreciate the tips and insight @borland ! I have purchased the parts and will give a shot making the inner light harnesses when they arrive (might be a while coming from China.)

@borland It's really cool to see the attention to detail you have put into your adapters. Kudos, for sure. On my own install, I too, noticed the slight differences in coloration/intensity but assumed it was due to the inner pair of lights being 4 years older than the new outer pair. I suppose I...

I installed these on Friday and the result is fantastic! I personally did not run into issues with the hyperflash nor receive any on-screen warnings. I suspect I lucked out with the units I got from the Service Center -- they were both manufactured in December 2021. The install process was...

They were $420 for both pieces, plus tax. I personally just used the Service section of the mobile app to schedule an appointment, but I specifically selected "Something Else" and wrote out "Request price quote and availability for the following parts: 1502087-00-D, 1502086-00-D" Next day...

I ordered and picked up from a local Service Center: LAMP ASY, REAR BODYSIDE, RH (1502087-00-D) LAMP ASY, REAR BODYSIDE, LEFT HAND (1502086-00-D) Only needed the outer parts.

My adapters have finally shipped! Ironically if I placed a fresh order now Amazon would have them to me by tomorrow (I'm guessing they transferred a bunch to a local fulfillment center) but since mine is already on its way from Maryland I will just wait for that. @Hellajdm It looks sweet! Can...

Heed my warning! I placed an order on Amazon for Nomisal's adapters last week, but then made the mistake of trying to upgrade the shipping speed today (I had already purchased and picked up the Model Y taillights from my local SC and was getting impatient -- my bad). As a result Amazon took...

My car is wrapped in XPEL Stealth and coated with a ceramic coating. The coating has not negatively affected the satin texture of the wrap while still allowing water to bead off and making cleaning *much* easier. I like it so much that I would do it again on a future vehicle.

That's the problem -- they wouldn't tell me timeframes. I was told twice to just wait for email updates on the parts. To their credit I did get a set of emails for one of the parts, including an email saying that it had arrived at the SC, but radio silence on the other part. I called into the SC...

Getting excited...still waiting for the Sunnyvale SC to confirm that my parts have arrived though...

I appreciate the tips. Will reach out again. Thanks!

Hey @smatthew could you give me some advice on how you convinced the SC to order this part: MY USB HUB FRONT Part #: 1522264-00-B They only allowed me to order: M3, CONSOLE, REAR AIR VENT PAN ASY, PREM Part #: 1111072-00-E The first piece is flagged for a Model Y and they would only order...

Count me in for two as well, please!

DM'ed!

After retracting the parking brake motor I also ended up ever-so-slightly angling the inner pad to create a large enough gap to accept the thicker rotor. Sliding the caliper on at that point was enough to compress the piston the fraction of a mm needed to position it. Also, 12v to the parking...

Argh! I could really use some advice. I'm on my second weekend, still trying to install the RB rotors and I'm stuck. Specifically I've been trying to reinstall the rear P3 calipers back over the newly installed RB rotors but just. can't. get. it. to. fit. I've followed the instructions on...

I have my driver-side mirror adjusted all the way out and still see more of the side of the car than I would prefer, but the overall field of view is definitely wider. Having said that, the outer edge of the mirror is so recessed within the mirror housing that a good portion of the reflection...

Thanks for the tips @SumaPerformance I’m afraid even by unscrewing the motor from the mount I still don’t have enough slack to run the defroster wires to the opposite side of the mirror housing. Any other ideas? Also, do you happen to know what month/year that your test vehicle was built...

So quick question: how did @SumaPerformance get the OEM defroster wiring to reach the connectors on the Suma mirrors? They appear to be on the opposite side when compared with the OEM versions. There is not enough slack to connect the wires across the housing. I ended up taping off the...

I see! I thought the open-slots were available since the option had popped up on the racingbrake.com website (although I see they've taken them down again now.) I will send you an email. Thanks for confirming!

Placed an order for a set of fronts and rears! Quick question -- are the ones you are offering the surface slot or open slot versions?

I love the satin finish on my silver Model 3. Make sure you go with a good installer though. My local shop had...issues, a lack of attention-to-detail being one of them, but you can’t tell from >3 feet away. I’ll save my complaints for another thread =) Another consideration when going with...

I'm excited for you! Any chance you could measure the diameter of the center caps for me, please?

Hmm, what's the center cap situation with these wheels? Or at least the dimensions? I vaguely recall that Tesla OEM sizes would not fit, and that Titan7-branded ones would be sold separately. I can't find the post where I read that though...I am being crazy and mis-remembering?

For what it's worth I got this email from Mike on Tuesday, Oct. 16:

Watching this thread since I went to the same shop as Vines...although I paid twice as much. Difference being I had 2 extra windows tinted, chrome delete, and full body PPF. They also forgot to remove my emblems as well (although they offered to redo it during a follow-up appointment.) What's...

Looks like it's a similar idea, but slightly different design. Will have to cut a much larger opening in the rear under-body fascia though: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2182/3043/files/Tesla_Model_3_Rack_2017_-_Present.pdf?3500775200793516593

I received confirmation from Tony at Evasive that: "All the wheels listed will clear the performance brakes that come with that package."

Some pics EDIT: One more Another note regarding availability: It sounds like if they are unable to match a car today then they will get you one within a few days.

I didn't get a photo but on the vehicle I saw they had cut around the front emblem, leaving the gap between the "hat" and the "T" of the logo exposed.

I just received this email from Tesla. Seems like an...efficient...way to get a lot of deliveries done in a short period of time. The linked page says: “This weekend, we're hosting an exclusive delivery event in Fremont, CA. As a future Model 3 owner in the Bay Area, you have the opportunity...

Aw, bummer. Any chance @jgrgnt is still willing to try?

Oh no. That’s not okay. I hope it was an isolated occurrence...

What a small world. I was able to watch them install the rear window film on yours:

I stopped by today as well. I asked a ton of questions and was allowed to take a close look at Alex and team’s work. I saw the MSM (@zfsnoob ’s?) and took a few photos. (I promise that I stayed a respectful distance from it!) I like that they took the time to remove the trim pieces in order...

My fingers are crossed that the 18-inch T-S5s will fit over the P3D+ rear calipers (and if they do, sign me up!)...but at this point I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic. Here is a thread from another forum about the calipers and the stock 18-inch Aeros: That $5k Performance Upgrade...

Hope it's not stepping on anyone's toes asking @jgrgnt to call, too, since anything that fits on a P3D+ should fit on all of the other models, but not necessarily the other way around.

The leather on the side looks good!

Wanted to bring attention to a post in another thread regarding the performance upgrade package rotors and calipers. It looks like the center hub has a ~3mm lip with a larger diameter. Check it out: P3D+ misc info and pics- wheel weight, calipers, suspension Would Titan 7 be willing to to...

Very nice! By chance, do you have definitive measurements of the larger brake calipers?

Glad I found this thread because I saw another thread about T-S5s and almost pulled the trigger for a set. If Model 3-specific versions are a genuine possibility then I’m happy to commit to buy those instead. The current Titan 7 wheel designs already have a nice groove for large brake...

As of September 2017, the CVC was amended to allow for medical exemptions for tinted films on those windows: Bill Text - AB-1303 Vehicles: window tinting.

Good advice. Will probably stop by before deciding whether to wrap with them or not. Can you comment on the tint job? How did that turn out? Thanks!

I am interested and have sent you an email. Local pick up okay with me.
