    Multi-pattern Seats

    My wife and I were out shopping and we decided to stop and take a look at the Model X on the floor at the Newport Beach store in Fashion Island. We placed our order on 1/3 and are very excited to get our MX75D in March! As I said in my order placed post, we decided to go with the multi-pattern...

    Looking for good deailer in Tampa

    I worked for years with Andrew from Mayestic Car Wash to detail my car. His service was always awesome and cheap but unreliable. Lately this "unreliable" turned into something a new word must be invented for. I have finally enough and are looking for a replacement. Anybody can recommend a good...

    Model X 100D XPEL Stealth on Midnight Silver looks amazing

    I just got my black 100D with XPEL ulimate at auto image in Barrington, IL. I was on the fence around a few things (trying to decide on ultimate vs stealth) and decided to stay with ultimate took about 3 days during the coldest part of winter. If you in IL and need this done Jeff and his team...

    Voice command button not working

    The voice command button is no longer working on my 17. The button is working as it can do the reset, yet nothing happens when I hit it while the car is on. Any idea guys as to why?? I am also seeing the voice help prompt as I start the vehicle too. Is that normal? Thanks

    Red calipers: to paint or buy?

    Folks I’m thinking of getting red calipers for my S (55k miles). Should I paint ($950) or buy ($2200)? I’m thinking the advantage of buying is new brake pads too? Thanks in advance for your advice!

    Model 3 lacking in Fit and Finish in Trunk

    To my surprise TESLA did not complete the interior install of the Model 3 to the basic standards you would expect when spending $30K or more for a car. This is not a base car, this is a TESLA and it should be just as mind blowing in the fit and finish as it is in the tech. This is the view of...

    Seat width

    Can anyone provide a front seat width comparison for the Model 3 vs the model X? The seats in my first Tesla, a P85D, were quite comfortable. Bought a 2017 Model X and the seats seem quite a bit more narrow, to the point of being uncomfortable, my back barely touches the seat back because of...

    Solution for storing charge cards

    i had trouble finding a good place for storing charge cards that are used infrequently, but making them easily accessible at the charging station. Then I found this small storage net on eBay. It’s meant for small cell phones but ideal for any reasonably flat items. I placed it on the driver...

    White Seats and Jeans...

    Hey, so I ordered a Model S 75D with white seats and it’s coming Mid-March. I asked the dealership if I could do a 24 hour test drive and in that time the white seats have a bunch of blue dye on them from my jeans..I haven’t tried cleaning it yet since I’m not sure what product to use but this...

    Mirrors really poor in the rain, espec in the dark. Solution?

    Only had my "S" for about 6 weeks. Had my first extended driving for 3 hours in the rain today. First couple hours in rainy daylight, then in darkness. Both in light and in dark the rear view mirror gave such a distorted or camouflaged reflection of other vehicles that it was maybe only 50%...

    Which color rims?

    Pearl White vs. Midnight Silver Satin Grey Wrap

    I'm having trouble deciding between these two options. I've also noticed White and Grey are narrowly the 2nd and 3rd most popular choices. At around 18% White / 19% Midnight Silver. I would like to slightly modify both cars with minor aesthetic adjustments. Also, based in California for...

    Ready to configure but don't want leather

    I selected "Hold" about 2 months ago for the Model 3 that I reserved on 31 March of 2016. It's for my daughter, and she doesn't want leather. Now I'm thinking to go ahead and place an order for the Premium Big Battery Model 3. But what about the seats? Are they fabric? Do they LOOK like...

    Spare Tire?

    Hi, I've just placed a reservation for a Model 3. Just out of interest does any know or think a spare wheel and tire would fit under the hood ?. Got a feeling there might not be quite enough space.

    Exterior Paint Coating

    I read in one of the Tesla M3 blogs that only 1-coat of paint is applied to a standard black color for Tesla M3 but 6-7 coats of paint on other colors. Is it true? I planned on ordering just the standard black instead of spending another $1000 for another color. But it may be worth it if there...

    Warm seats

    I might be going crazy but anybody else feel like the 3 seats are warm to the point it almost feels like the seat heater is on low even though the GUI shows it off? I don't know if it's just the fact it's not vented but mine feels really warm after 10 minutes or so even if it's pretty much cool...

    Tesla Model 3 aftermarket wheel covers

    I don't like Aero wheel covers. Don't want to upgrade to 19" either. Any possibility to get aftermarket wheel covers that can fit on 18" wheels? Something like this ProZ Hubcaps

    Non-PUP Glass Roof

    Load cover / parcel shelf

    Has anyone been tempted to change the material or cover the existing load cover / parcel shelf with alcantara? Every day I use the car I inevitably stare at this thing which looks cheap and flimsy and was wondering if there was any way to spruce it up a bit?

    Help with glass roof defect

    I posted in the 3 forum about my glass roof being installed incorrectly such that the edge of the roof is about 1/16-1/8 inch or so above the top of the windshield, most noticeable near the roof front edge on the driver’s side. I believe some of you had similar issues on Model S and experiencing...

    Glass roof panel “lip” defect

    Unlike my massive S glass roof, the glass roof on the 3 is relatively small since the rear window extends above the rear passenger seats. On my 3, the glass roof panel was installed such that on the driver’s side it sits about 1/8 of an inch or so above the windshield. I believe some S owners...

    All Glass Panoramic Roof

    Noob question here. I ordered a 12/2014 CPO P85D that comes with the "all glass panoramic roof", a $2500 added option when new. Im getting conflicting info on whether this roof actually opens or not. I think the confusion is caused by people on the forums using the wrong names. There is the...

    Anyone fabricating iPhone "plus" brackets for the quick connection dock?

    Like many folks here, the standard brackets don't work for my iPhone 7+; the large ones are too wide and the small ones are too thin. Its like Goldilocks, I guess. Has anyone 3-D printed some that are "just right"? Seems like a budding cottage industry given the many sizes and shapes of mobile...

    Does Tesla still use titanium shield and aluminum deflector plates to protect the underbody

    I know this was the big news in 2014 but I've not seen anything lately that indicates Tesla is still using under body shields. Anyone know if a 2017 or 18 still use them? I assume MX's were protected also.
