    Thoughts on ART Replica 171 wheels

    Thanks for your feedback :-) I'm thinking the same - I like the chrome actually, with tint and red calipers. Left you one last photo with the combination you like, hopefully it's useful for your future modding :-)

    Thoughts on ART Replica 171 wheels

    Haha cool :-) I don't have money for these mods yet, except the rims. Was going to paint the calipers myself, and *maybe* try doing the chrome delete too. But I kind of like the chrome accents. What do you think, which version do you like best. Here's another version with the rear passenger...

    Thoughts on ART Replica 171 wheels

    Trinifry or others - if you want to see these wheels on a black car but with chrome delete / painted calipers. I did a bit of editing for myself to see how it looks. Trinifry - hope you don't mind I edited the photo of your car. I'm definitely getting these wheels, and wanted to see how it...

    Thanks everyone for this post. It feels like i've been hunting forever for wheels that are similar to the sport ones, and they look great in that photo.

    Hi van, what model / trim did you order? I ordered back in Feb 28 and received it March 30th, 2019 - i'm shocked that you've been waiting 61 days. I was calling them every week, after the 2nd week of waiting lol. I have no idea if it mattered or not but I was a reservation holder but aside...

    Husky MOGO Floor Mats With Stainless Accents

    Guys - i have the 3D Kagu mats. They look fantastic...when they are clean. The texture means that when it gets muddy, it's harder to clean than I think a flat surface, I have to whip out the green scrubber to get it clean. I have yet to experience winter with it, this was early spring.

    Before you spend your hard-earned money on PPF.

    A good detail with paint correction won't cost 1k after 5 years - but generally speaking paying 6k for a PPF wrap doesn't make sense either. In my case I did get a PPF wrap for the full hood, front bumper and rockers at $1600.00 - it still hurt, and if well maintained and well installed it's...

    Picked up my SR+ 2 weeks ago, feeling misled

    I would feel the same way as you - and truth is nobody can really related to your experience because "most" of us have had a good experience, or are not in the situation you are in. So that sucks, and I empathize and then it all kind of piles on. I'm from BC too, the luxury tax sucks but that's...

    Before you spend your hard-earned money on PPF.

    Good post - I got a partial PPF wrap (full hood, front sides, bumper, mirrors and front pillars). Only my hood and front bumper are wrapped around so it's more seamless and won't catch dirt. I honestly am not sure what the difference is, or why it's done this way but I ask my PPF installer. I...

    Blog Tesla Releases Environmental Impact Report

    Delay in receiving 2019.8.5? Wait, or can I do something about it?

    Hi, when I received 8.4 I remember it mentioned the 5% performance improvement. 8.5 - if I'm correct, has the improvements to Autopilot (automated lane changing) - I'm assuming it's Autopilot and not FSD. I will find out soon enough!

    Thanks, appreciate the detailed post. I haven’t run into any screen or operational issues with 8.4 so I should be happy with its stability as you say!

    Are you still waiting? It would seem that end of March push was very much by convenience (whatever is closest to Fremont or easiest to deliver elsewhere). I've the car for 15 days, and am quite surprised to see many in the poll above have no received their car yet. If you haven't received your...

    Delay in receiving 2019.8.5? Wait, or can I do something about it?

    I've had my Model 3 SR+ for 10 days, so I don't have a lot of experience with OTA updates. I had one update on the day I bought the car I came home, and have been hoping and waiting for the new autopilot upgrade but it still hasn't shown up. According to the app "Stats" 60.3% of all Tesla...

    I can only say, the white interior is better than I expected. They’re so white, like fluffy clouds and sooo comfortable, I didn’t want to get that wood dashboard and I’m so glad I waited. It’s worth it !!!

    Hey buddy, car looks amazing. In your state you don't need a plate on the front? That's so nice - i was just thinking how about how awkward it looks to have a license plate on the front bumper ugh!

    I used P&S Beadmaker - it's amazing. Took about 20 mins to do the whole car, and right away it had this amazing gloss and the surface was so slick it's hard to describe. Let's say if I leaned on the car, I'd slide right off and fall down lol. The car was detailed before delivery so was already...

    Hi all - I took my car last Thursday, and wanted to share some photos. I've spent the last few days getting used to the car, washed it, used a really good sealant on the exterior and also ceramic coated the white seats. All I can say is - it's an amazing car both performance and appearance...

    Black Model 3 with white interior

    Here's mine, SR+ black / white, 18" w/o aero caps - 1 day after wash and P&S beadmaker - so it's pretty glossy and looks great on a sunny day.

    White Seats - Jeans

    Jason, what do you think of ceramic coating for vegan leather? I applied Gyon Q2 Leather Protector - seems to be working fine so far. I don't know how good my application was, but I was told by another detailer it's what they use.

    White Seats - Jeans

    It's not a sales pitch - Optimum products are great, and easy to use for "beginners" like us who want protection. If you really want good protection, you should look at what the pros are using. I've researched and watched literally 100 videos on paint and leather protection. I myself have the...

    Waiting for white interior

    Picked up SR+ black / white interior - they are very busy and we ended up having to wait 3 hours because our delivery advisor thought he told me Saturday. Car drives great, white seats are amazing both in looks and comfort. Took a few hours to get used to the incredible instant torque and the...

    Waiting for white interior

    For anyone is interested, I was told by a detailer that you can use a ceramic protector like Gyeon Q2 on your vegan leather. I plan to do that on my white seats, it basically makes them super hydrophobic and will repel any stains including jean dye. Which really means you can wipe off without...

    Thank you for taking the time. I cost an arm and a leg, I’m glad I can use it to protect the seats.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Delivery advisor doesn’t contact you until the car is on it’s way to the delivery center. I was contacted roughly one weekly before the scheduled date, then told by this delivery advisor to disregard the date in my account. So what sales knows and what the delivery people who take the car, are...

    Will leather protectors work on vegan leather? (Gyeon Q2)

    I bought Gyeon Q2 ceramic leather protection which is supposed to be great on leather then realized my interior is not really leather. Has anyone used it before?

    I'd wait - i can't imagine your wait time being more than days, or a week if it's a minor hold up like in a delivery? You picked white interior for a reason, and I saw white seats on a Model X and they look so good. The 19" sport wheels also look amazing, I got the 18" aero wheels...primarily...

    My car is great, it was easy to buy, and everything is fine.

    Happy for you and happy to hear. I have zero doubt in my mind, that other cars face similar or possibly worse production issues. My current car (soon to be old car) is a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. It's had 2 recalls...one of them involves catching on fire for no reason. It's been a very reliable car...

    Hey Joe! I received my 3D Kagu mats from you - they're awesome looking. Two things I wanted to mention - one, is it took 3 weeks to ship to the West Coast (Canada)...not much you can do about that. The other thing is duties - my postman said next time ask them to put something like "From Joe to...

    Seems hit and miss whether the car has mats. I ordered 3D spider kagu mats 3 weeks ago, they finally arrived and am two days away from taking delivery. So oddly enough, I'm hoping there are no mats lol.

    I have no stats to back this back, but LRs appear to take longer especially right while as they focus on volume and not so much profitably (insert lol). If I ordered an LR, I'd expect white glove treatment...but what I've seen from other people with LRs...is that they are waiting and waiting...

    Screwed by Tesla today... M3 LR

    I empathize with you buddy - we're all SUPER excited to get our car, and part of the problem is that we expect to happen like a dream come true. That's just how things are, and I can understand your disappointment. Just try to look at it from a different perspective - you have a home, job...

    Tesla delivery advisor told me that the schedule date in my profile is generated and by no means accurate. So despite having a date and time, he wants to schedule a tentative date / time. Funny stuff.

    Beautiful, can you share a photo where we can see outside and inside? The white seats look stunning. I bought Gyeon ceramic leather protector (pricey) but supposed to make leather pretty much hydrophobic against any liquid or stains including jean dye transfer.

    Wrapping, Coating, etc - investment or waste?

    PPF is literally a car condom lol and will not protect against large rocks, dents, car door dings...but it’s a physical membrane. Wax is literally a layer of wax. Sealants are polymer based coatings that last longer, and ceramic coating is siO2 based and have the most durability due to how they...

    Wrapping, Coating, etc - investment or waste?

    If you like driving a very shiny car, then spend on PPF and ceramic. Yes they work, they’re expensive and they’re sold to people who do not or cannot do their own detailing. It all boils down to how OCD you want to be. Like other people have said, forget resale value... I don’t think model 3s...

    Should I be worried?

    As much as you want the car soon and I don’t blame you. I agree, they have to divulge any incidents or work being done. It could very minor like a door latch, or what not. But do your due diligence, check odometer and make sure it’s a brand new car. If there’s one thing Tesla is good at, it’s...
