The driver's side corner of my recently installed spoiler is lifting. :-/

I believe there was a "prototype" spoiler that was a -99-A. The 00-A PN has been the only part number that has been tried on my car since my first mobile service appointment in March (and only 2 were decent out of 11).

Here are better pics of the middle of the spoiler. Red plastic razor blade for scale. There is no gap between the trunk lid and the spoiler (for now ;-). Hope that helps.

I didn’t take the tape off yet, but I don’t think that will affect center flushness.

Proactively reached out to Rocklin Service Center again by the Tesla app and they called me a day or two later saying that they had a new batch of spoilers arrive (not updated parts, just more: M3 Rear Spoiler, Carbon 1455166-00-A according to the work order). I decided to give it a shot and...

That sucks. Sorry to hear. Was the seat already folded down or did they fold it down after breaking the window?

That's awesome! How did it come out?

That's a bummer. :-( I've had two appointments scheduled there, both of which I initiated via the Tesla app. They e-mail and call me back whether the parts are available or not. Have you tried that?

Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing!

That's great news!

That looks great! Can't wait for mine.

Sorry to hear about that. :-(

Looks great!

I hear what you are saying and am glad for those that have had a good experience. I wonder though if some owners are unaware of the potential issue or maybe more tolerant of taking a chance that the spoiler might peel up later? I told my tech before he showed up that I was particular and...

Thank you so much for your post. I was having a very similar noise and your post came up in a search. I went down to the car and lo and behold there was something in that exact same trough! Now I just have to figure out where a ball bearing came from!!

Those are nice looking wheels! Which tires are you going for?

I'm in Rocklin and heard the exact same thing. In fact, I might be the reason they're telling people that as they tried 4 spoilers on my car a while back and none of them fit well. I called last week asking if the new parts have come out yet, and they told me that unfortunately they had not...

Thank you very much for your efforts and for sharing!

Rocklin (NorCal) Service Center told me they are still waiting for the upgraded parts as of yesterday (4/17/19).

That looks GREAT! Stock height?

Ditto.

STEK + cQuartz

He doesn't have any weight reduction, but it's a Model 3 P- with stock 18" Aeros so he has that going for him. 11.5's are amazing out of this package.

Nocturnal, just read your post. Agreed! Would love to see someone in a Model 3 P at Bandimere run a R35 GTR. The 3 should run 11.7's like everywhere else and the R35's usually run low to mid-12's at that elevation. Heck, even modded Hellcats run 11.80's up there. That would be fun to see. :-)

Thank you. I was quite impressed, and it was fun to make a run there so quietly in my 3 compared to my previous trips down the 1/4 (C6 Z06 Corvette, C7 Z06 Corvette, etc.). Sacramento Raceway Park is at 30' elevation, however while that's normally good for packing more air/fuel into an ICE I...

That's hauling the mail! That track seems to be in Phoenix Arizona. I wonder if the the temperature was high, making the air less dense? (Which is a bad thing for an ICE car, but better for us I figure)

WOW! Great trap speed!

Not track mode. I guess that's sport then?

I don’t have any “before” times, but I took my P3D to Sacramento Raceway Park for the first time tonight (car was on 8.3 software). Best 60’: 1.788 Best ET: 11.704 Best MPH: 114.39 I started the night at 89% charge and ended the night at 81% charge after 4 runs. My first 3 runs were very...

How about putting a streamer in one of the vents and setting up a GoPro and have it record while you're not in the car to see if it captures the heater/blower running? I wonder if the blower strength would be high enough to move a paper streamer and/or for the GoPro mic to pick up.

Congratulations! I recently sold my C7 Z06 A8 and don't miss it at all. :-)

Lucas English (English Racing) shared a 1/4 mile drag race between two M3 Performance cars at Portland International Raceway on his FB page the other day. One had older software and the other the +5% performance code. The difference in mid-range was very noticeable in a side by side quarter...

Update: I took my car into service and they duplicated the cocked wheel concern, tested other Model 3's and found the steering column "slack" to be normal, and performed a 4 wheel alignment and torqued suspension bolts and steering rack. Steering wheel is straight now.

Just got mine today too. Haven't tried it out yet. Can't wait!

FYI: 1455166-00-A was the part number on the 4 spoilers that didn't fit properly during my recent mobile service appointment (right side warped).

Thank you! My BMW and Evo steering columns seem way more solid so I was wondering if this was the "clicking" I heard when negotiating that high speed turn... I guess I'll find out on Thursday at my SC appointment. I appreciate the level set.

Question: Does this seem like excessive steering column play?

Thank you for your responses. I called my local service center and asked if it was okay to drive the car from now until my appointment on Thursday. The SC employee didn't seem surprised at the description of the issue and told me that I was fine to drive the car. With that being said, I think...

Greetings All, I had something weird happen to my Model 3 Performance today. I was taking my local highway on-ramp at speed (turning to the right) and I felt a “click” through the steering wheel. The click felt like it came from somewhere right behind the wheel or in the steering column. I had...

Recently had a mobile service tech come out to my house with 4 spoilers to try. None of them fit perfectly, and one had a blemish. I'd wait for the revised part/new batch before trying to rush an install like I did.

Tesla Mobile Service came today to install my spoiler here in Northern California. My 3 was delivered in January 2019 and I proactively reached out to schedule the appointment. The tech was great, but unfortunately even though he brought 4 spoilers none of them fit well (all were warped). One...

I thought the biggest FAT32 format drive was 32GB? What's the largest drive that can be used? Thanks!

Have there been any updates for people suffering from this issue over the last few months? I'm on 2019.5.15 f5def7e and I still need to wake up the car before I can disconnect my charge handle.

My P3D feels punchier than before. I don't believe it was a placebo effect because I wasn't "expecting" or looking for the power bump.

Love, love, love your car!

Thanks for all the discourse, fellas. Can't wait to hear real world reviews.

This app sounds amazing! I'm certainly going to purchase once I get more comfortable with my M3P+ (I'm a brand new owner). Thanks for your efforts and support of the community!

Interesting!

I'd definitely be in for an upgrade!
