Those don't wrap around on the insides. It will still burn my fingers in the summer in AZ. Take a look at the second photo.

RPM doesn't have the clear wrap around Model 3 handle protection yet. I hope they get it soon so I can order a set. It gets very hot in Phoenix and the clear wraps just cover the outside which will not help much. They do have full handle wraps in different colors just not clear.

20% sale is good till March 31st according to an e-mail I received from RPM.

My foot well lights don't stay on with the ambient lighting turned on. They turn off after about 1 1/2 min with the rest of the ambient lights. The ambient light button doesn't seem to do anything on my Model 3. On topic, I got the AO lights and put 7 in, all but the center console which it...

I thought I would try to turn the plastic bumper up but all it does is make the hood harder to close. The latch at front center is what controls the height of the front of the hood not the bumpers. Adjust the bumpers, after you adjust the height of the latch, just enough so that the hood is...

I am at 250 Wh/mi with 1172 lifetime miles. 18" wheels with the aero covers

I had the same issue with my Fitbit app. After uninstalling, re-installing, modifying all the settings and then putting them back I finally got the Fitbit app to work again. I don't have a clue how i did it. After I got it working I turned off all the auto-sync settings just in case it...

This is from the Model 3 owners manual: "Model 3 can store up to 19 keys (authenticated phones or key cards) simultaneously."

Here is my plan, Model S on left side of garage parked nose in, Model 3 on the right side backed in with 14-50 outlets on both right and left walls. Each car can charge using it's own outlet and they can charge at the same time. There are no cords going behind (or in front) of either car this...

I am pretty sure your phone doesn't clone the key card and neither uses NFC. They are completely separate. You long into your phone app and then through Bluetooth it will unlock the car. I pretty sure the key card is a RFID card like some security badges.

Try holding down the parking brake button at higher speeds instead of just pressing it.

I definitely ran it the long way. I ended up with about 6 inches of coax cable remaining. And yes someone here on the forum did post just that. They took the hatch depressed handles out to route the cable at the far end. I just took the whole trim off. It was difficult to get the trim...

I didn't take picture as I installed it. There is someone else that did this on TMC that did take pictures and detailed the steps. It isn't easy to explain.

I didn't drill any holes. The coax cable is long enough to run down the hatch and back up the other side. It really wasn't to difficult.

The Model S can definitely connect to a wifi signal including your phones hot spot. The Model S will not become the hot spot for your devices.

your pic shows the extra connector taped down in the center

Same for me :)

There really aren't any more electronic components in an electric car. The only system an electric car has that an ICE doesn't is the main drive inverted to control the main 3 phase motor, but it does have electronic components to control the starter. The only way you may possibly be able to...

The electric motor has very few parts, I have no idea where your getting the idea that the motor has billions of parts. It has a lot of copper wire, a rotor, a housing, bearings and electrical connectors. The ICE engines have exactly the same number of parts in just the starter (it's an...

Just ordered. Code worked. The description on the site says cloud enabled. I didn't see anything about the cable.

Tesla has repeatedly said that they plan on delivering 500K cars in 2020. There ramp up will not be linear but an S curve. Maybe 10 Model 3s in 2017, 200K in 2018, 400K in 2019, and 440K in 2020 (with 60K Model S & X). In this case anybody ordering now (or maybe anytime this year) you should...

We do not know the range of the Bolt yet. It may get more miles than 200. The CD of the bolt is probably around .26 or .27. This is much worse than the Model S at .24. There is a rumor that the Model 3 is shooting for .20. We also don't know how heavy the Bolt is but it's a tall vehicle so...

If you use math, and the assumption that the Model 3 is 20% lighter, smaller frontal area, and with a CD equal to or better than the Model S it will get 200 miles with a battery between 40 kWh and 50 kWh. Scale accordingly based on your assumption of how many miles above 200 the base will be...

You can't transfer reservations. I would guess you can reserve any number that you plan on purchasing in your name only.

I also believe that the early reservations just means earlier design studio opening. I think the design studio will open for people in the order they place their deposits only (taking time zones into account). The employee cars will not be built in front of the non-owners unless they confirm...

Where does this come from? It's the first time I have heard of it and I can't find any other reference to Scottsdale not taking deposits.

I got a 14-50 NEMA plug put on both sides of my garage. Almost all home J1772 chargers can be installed using the 14-15 NEMA plug. Just make sure the panel or sub-panel is big enough to handle the continuous loads of the option you choose.

I think the 40's are only allowed to charge to 69% not 72%.

The regular breaks are can be controlled by the cars computer as well as the pedal. It has traction/stability control and anti-lock brakes.

Definitely this.

I am petty sure that the 40's are identical to the 60's except we can only charge to 69%. This means times should be the same as the 60 but without a fully charged battery.

Don't forget the 32 or 64 gig mini USB drive.

I don't believe they sold the S40's at a loss, just less margin. If we think about it they went for about $60K. 20% of that is $12K. We have always been told that the margins at that time was about 20%. I would say it was a low margin sell or at worse case it was break even. My prediction is...

Bricked isn't the correct word here. Bricked means the car will never move on its own power again.

Some of those ICE dealership inspections are only on paper. I would say most don't actually do any real inspections. My father has had experience with this at a Toyota dealer. He took his truck in for an inspection after he did all his scheduled maintenance items. The only things that they...

It should also be mentioned that the annual service is optional. It does not effect the warranty.

The more force you put through the tires the faster they will wear. This applies in straight line acceleration and turning. If the tires spin or slide the wear is greatly amplified.

I have about 33K on the 19" OEM Goodyears. I think I'll get another 5K out of them. Rotated every 7 to 8K.

My Android phone has no problems charging through the USB ports. My wife's Windows phone app is defiantly better than the Android app. Except for notifications the Windows app is better than the iPhone as well.

Just looked, no toe hook provisions. 1st time for me on taking off the nosecone.

The only time my regen has been capped is when it's been cold out.

The charge slider will only go to 70% so this is where I charge to every day. I have no worries about the battery degrading. I do have a small worry about pack balancing but I don't know if it even matters. I have no regrets getting the 40. It has been very good for me and my wife. We can...

I got Cloth Addiction Microfiber Screen Cleaning Cloth from Amazon and it has been working very well. Amazon.com: Cloth Addiction Microfiber Screen Cleaning Cloth 2-pack: Computers Accessories

I have an android phone and my wife has a windows. When her phone is connected to the car it will read her incoming text messages and even allow her to reply using the voice commands in the car. My android does not do this and I haven't been able to figure it out. Does anyone here know how to...

I am at 29,256 miles in my 40 this morning and I thought I was putting a lot of miles on mine. I am getting 135 realistic miles with a lifetime average of 290 wh/mi. This is the first car I have ever owned where I am not worried about how many miles I am putting on the car. I am actually happy...

There is still the emissions from manufacturing the solar panels.

Is't there a charge port open button on the same screen as the trunk release? I have never had any problems with the cable not opening the charge port door. Maybe you should get Tesla to look at it.

I have had the gaffers tape on for over a year without any problems. It has never been "sticky". I highly recommend quality gaffers tape carefully cut and placed on the insides of the handles for the hot climates like mine. (Phoenix AZ)

Someone weighed them and they are lighter. Your repeating someones guess that got out of hand. Safety tests do not have to be redone because the car is a little lighter.
