    How to clear warning message?

    Ok, replaced all tires and had to drive on the Freeway for 20 minutes and it went away. So it takes time. I still would rather have more control over stuff like this.

    How to clear warning message?

    I just replaced All tires, staggered set up. Warning doesn't go away. I'd love for some nerd at Tesla to fix this annoyance.

    How to clear warning message?

    I got staggered wheels and got the message, newer tires too. I'm not digging this new "Safety" Alert. Still plenty of tread on these tires. There should be a way to disable this alert.

    Good places to plug a slow leak in tire

    I was gonna say, glass won't make it through the tred, but will certainly through the sidewall. o_O

    Tires, tires, tires

    Just in my size requirements. I'm pretty sure you can select what brand you want, don't know for sure. I actually used yelp to ask another tire company for an estimate, then selected the option for other similar businesses as well, they were the first to respond and basically the only one that...

    Tires, tires, tires

    I just replaced my staggered set of perellis 20". 17k miles, still a little life, but I'm pretty OCD. I wanted to go with Hankook as I used them on my CLS63 for years, cheaper and still excellent quality, however they didn't come in my sizes. So, shopped around and got a quote from T&T mobile...

    New model 3 mods!

    I ordered mine in the 15th, still not here yet. I'm a bit confused on your suggestion. You say attatch the display mount to main mount loosely, then attatch wire, then attatch display mount to main mount again. I assume by attaching it again, you mean tighten?

    H&R lowering springs & T-Sportline TSS 20" Wheels review

    I'm impressed that you got a perfect alignment. I have tsportline lowering springs and the 20 inch wheels, my springs bring it down just one inch, but not quite perfect alignment. First, took it to my usual alignment place and they jacked it up, throwing it into 3 failures and I had to take it...

    Update : added 15mm Blox wheel spacers front and 5mm rear. Matte carbon fiber side skirts to match front and rear spoilers. Also changed out the center console carbon fiber with a more MATTE, matte to match the dash. If anyone wants the carbon fiber I had on it, it's still in great shape, will...

    Let's Clear Things Up; How do you keep your white seats clean?

    I got issues with the black dye from my pants or something, stains the white seats. I used isopropyl alcohol a few times, but now it's not working. Bleach didn't either. I'm about fed up. I thought these seats would be a bit more durable...

    Ecosolar /Sunpower is who install it. Not sure what the name of the forms I signed. I'd have to look. Anyways, all I know is my old system continues as usual, where I'm "Selling" back unused energy and the new system simply feeds my battery when not feeding my house and if course, I'm not paid...

    Hawaii Model 3

    Progressive? I dumped them because they were way out of hand on motorcycle insurance. I've looked at other insurance companies and still stick with GEICO. Better rates than USAA, who I dumped after 20 years becaus of it. Well enjoy the new Tesla. Now time to mod it out.

    New model 3 mods!

    Yeah, my thoughts as well, but I'll drive it for a while, see if it grows on me. :D I can easily swap the white one back in. It would look sweet on those that don't have the white interior, but want to spruce it up with real carbon fiber ;).... (sales pitch)

    New model 3 mods!

    Update. So, I finally got the complete carbon fiber dashboard in. No cap, the whole thing is all matte carbon fiber. I had to make a few adjustments to get it in. I got other ideas while doing that project so wrapped the center console sides white to match the center of the steering wheel. Not...

    New model 3 mods!

    I'm not worried about trade in value anyways. I would rather sell it then get ripped off on any trade in. That's essentially what it is. Though, I've done so twice in my life for a quick turnaround. Actually, recently traded in 2015 mini cooper s for 2015 mini cooper JCW. Didn't have the OEM run...

    New model 3 mods!

    They have steering wheel covers. Look on ebay and Amazon.com. Probably would work, or if you just want the white, I'd head to the local apholsterer. Any one worth their salt at the trade can easily fashion some leather grips over what you have.

    New model 3 mods!

    Price was a factor, but I liked the larger spread of leather and shape change. It's a larger wheel of course, because they just wrap the existing wheel with carbon fiber. Makes it nice and beefy. Only drawback is its no longer grippy on top like the soft original, depending on how you hold the...

    You will find several videos showing how to remove your steering wheel. I used the one from rpm tesla. It's not difficult. However, don't rush it. I snapped off an electrical connector and had to replace my steering clock column, (the thing with your turn signals on it). If you mess up on...

Picture shows before and after Tesla alignment. I...

    How far off is it without the camber arms? Or do you have those installed? Just with my 1" lower springs, I took my Tesla to the usual shop to align, bad mistake, made it worse. Auto pilot, regenerative breaking stopped working. Took it to Tesla and they charge almost $300 to align, and it's...

    There's a thread here Shadowcraft USA (i.e. Chicago Composites) for carbon fiber? about a vendor who sells carbon fiber interior.

    Yeah, $800 is what I was quoted at another location as well. 2 times more than I thought. Which is why I did it myself. First used plastidip, which is OK, but not so durable. Now one side of my car is part vinyl as I ran out of vinyl and was sent the wrong shade :confused: I may just keep the...
