This hole is gone? I have this hole that I can screw in a ground wire on my 2021 Model 3. From my post in a different switched 12V thread. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6074148/

Can Tesla Android work on Pi 3? I have an unused Pi 3 lying around. I do have a Pi4B 4GB coming next week though. Thanks.

Thanks. Do you have a link to the usb-c 12v adapter you use?

Good to know the USB-C outlet works with the Pi. Thanks @Greybeard707 ! Now if only I can buy a Pi4B at MSRP :D

Thanks! So the USB-C port in the center console cannot not be used to power a Raspberry Pi? Just want to double check. Thanks.

how do you all power the Pi inside Tesla? Just USB-C to USB-C cable or do you need a power supply?

Most (all?) ICE cars when the engine is running driving its alternator, the "12V" output is at 15V or more. All 12V car electronics are designed to account for varying voltage. Nothing is going to burn up. don't worry.

Cops have been using laser guns for decades. I have a 20-year-old V1 and it detects laser. The trick is don't be the leading car in a pack. If there are no cars in front of you on highway, you stay within speed limit and on the look out for cops. Radar detectors can detect radar signals...

I am sorry this happened to you. Paying so much money for a software feature that is advertised as so superior, yet it is not yet ready (and hasn't been ever) for general release, you can't even participate in the beta program. What a scam. Imagine any other software company doing this.

You can replace just the right front tire. At worst you could replace both front tires since you already have mismatched front and rear tires. If NTB doesn't want to do it, go somewhere else.

didn't your tesla cam capture the event? It should have. Share the videos.

18" Aero wheels are 18x8.5 ET40, according to T Sportline. This could be a visual reference for you. https://tsportline.com/blogs/owners-guide/the-tesla-model-3-wheel-guide

I used Discount Tire in Redmond next to Home Depot in November. They have been all very busy and shorthanded. You can order online on Discount Tire's web site, or just walk in. Walk in may work better and can get you in the queue to get the work done, if tires you want are in stock. At the...

You mean this? LOL! This guy writes a lot about bicycles. He knows nothing about cars. https://www.downtube.com/pages/tesla-problems-flaws/

Not a Tesla fan boy here. Model 3 is certainly far from perfect. All cars can hydroplane given the right condition and lack of driving skills. Noob user error, really, and blames the car. If hydroplaning once while going too fast and decides not to drive in the rain ever again, then thank...

dashcam video or it didn't happen! j/k, but why do you think the Model 3 is any easier to hydroplane than any other car on the market? Your car is new. Your car's tires are new. It could be a patch of water on the roadway, your tires' pressure, a bump on the road surface, oil slick on the...

I always question the value of PPF. If it is for paint protection, how much does it cost to respray the hook or the bumper? With PPF, how much MORE do you pay when you have a front fender bender? You would have to pay for fixing the fender as well as losing the original cost you paid for that...

Thanks for posting this. I also have a F80 M3 since 2014. Your comparison with your M3 gives me the relative handling performance I am looking for. My Model 3 Performance has a lot more body roll during cornering than my F80 M3. I was thinking to upgrade the antiroll bars. Now I need to...

The stretched look is from the 2021 Model 3 Performance Urberturbine 20x9 wheels, not the Pirelli tires. The 2021 20" wheel is half an inch wider than 8.5 inches wheel from 2020 and older. They all have 235/35R20 tires. The Tesla Model 3 Wheel Guide

Good to know. I see you can from the app to tap the car icon to start the car. This works if you have someone who can do it remotely for you. But if you don't, then a cardkey hidden in the car will work. I am not advocating this. Just that it might be the only backup for someone who has...

I have never had a key hidden in any of my previous and cars. However, I can see this is useful if you lost your wallet that has the card key and your phone (or you got robbed). Even if a friend or family member could unlock the car remotely for you, you still can't drive home because you don't...

Thanks to Jamie for getting me setup for a set of 19x8.5 SV104 (only 19.2 lbs!) with perfect flush offset front and rear without spacers. Saved 10 lbs each corner from 55.6 lbs of OEM 20" Uberturbine wheels and P-Zero to 45.6 lbs SV104 and Continental DWS06 Plus 245/40R19. My first 700 miles...

If you think you are losing too much battery capacity, you should read this sticky post: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/how-i-recovered-half-of-my-batterys-lost-capacity.204712/ There is the capacity estimation by the car's computer, and then there is the actual capacity with the...

Is it confirmed that the trailer brake controller is also available on Model 3, not just Model Y? I got switched 12V from VC Right on my Model 3. My radar detector is turned on and my dashcam goes out of parking mode when I sit down in the driver's seat and step on the brake pedal. When I...

correct, there isn't a fuse box to make this easy like in an ICE car. I have installed radar detectors on all my previous cars. This has been a fun exercise to install my Escort Redline 360c and and my Thinkware dashcam with parking mode.

Looks like the wheels balance weight pieces are rubbing the cylinders. Go ask the tire shop that balanced your wheels and tires to remove the weights and rebalance the wheels with the weights stuck to the inner or outer edges of the wheels. They should do it for free for you since they should...

You can. 20" snow tires are not as common but they are available and also more expensive. If you swap on 20" snow tires late fall or early winter, you will want to swap the OEM P-Zero summer tires back on when spring and summer are back. Each time you swap four tires it will cost you $100 to...

18" wheels specifically designed to fit on Tesla Model 3 will clear calipers, including the bigger ones on the Performance model. Martian Wheels and T Sportline have 18" wheels that work. If you drive in cities you don't need studded tires, good snow tires will be plenty. You would only need...

For future reference, here is the new Bluetooth TPMS with silver nut for model year 2021 and newer. 1490750-00-A

@xepa thanks for confirming and the addition screw size for the ground! @m1xmstr thanks for the instruction! It works perfectly. Here are the pictures I took during my setup.

@DMan918 did you hear back from Tesla? Thanks.

@ed4482 would you mind sharing the parts you used for the custom mute button?

Thanks for the tease :). You make me want to lower my car! Mine looks like a lifted off road truck comparatively :oops:

Took delivery of my MSM Model 3 Performance this afternoon. The car's fit and finish is fine for the most part. Gaps are reasonable. If I run my fingers on the frunk gap, I can feel the frunk is not even with the fenders. But it is not noticeable if you just look at it. Interior is also...

Thanks for this. I want to swap out my 20" uberturbine wheels with 19s. But worry it would be loud without 19" T0 tires. You just answered my question. Thanks. What wheels are you running?

Wow! You ordered the same car on the same day as I did. I am sorry that you still haven't got a VIN. Should be soon. A few of us in the PNW are getting our MSM Performance in the next few days.

Very nice! I am picking up my car in Renton tomorrow afternoon.

Did you talk to someone to schedule? My EDD now is 13th to 19th. The order page asks me to pay the full price now. But I want to pay with certified check on the day of delivery after inspection. EDIT: Never mind, got an email to schedule the pickup. It will be this Saturday.

VINdicated! Finally received my VIN tonight. There is an M in the VIN for 2021 model year. Now it wants me to pay now. Can you pay with Plaid *after* inspection during delivery? I see there is also option to pay with a certified check. Do you need to tell them you are paying with a...

My EDD is staying at 10/12 (today) to 10/24. Usually it would move the EDD window out by a week on the first day of the previous EDD window. Meanwhile, found this video that could be a guide for things to look for during inspection...

Amazingly, still no VIN yet :D

My EDD was also updated. Changed from 10/10 to 11/1 to 10/12 to 10/24. This is the first time my EDD is updated before the first day of the EDD is reached. The EDD end date is also pulled in by 8 days. Hopefully this is a good sign. But this may also mean that I will likely get a very very...

I suspect that Tesla is not going to build more MSM cars until toward the end of the quarter due to low demand of the color, or just ran of our silver color. I heard on NPR Marketplace that even paint is in short supply. My MSM order had an EDD in late September but I guess it missed the end...

Those wheels are so much better than the uberturbine wheels.

At this point I much rather it gets delay further so we get 2022 models instead of a super late 2021 model. I understand nothing will change, but a later year number will help with resell value in the future.

My EDD just pushed out again from 10/7 - 10/17 to 10/10 - 11/1. This has been happening over and over since my first EDD date from late August. I am guessing that it is just the customer facing system automatically pushing out EDDs as long as a VIN is not yet assigned. I imagine, when the...

There seems to be some delay to MSM. A few of us here ordered MSM in August with original EDD in September never received a VIN or car. My current EDD was just updated this morning from 10/3 to 10/17 to 10/7 to 10/17.

Same for me. Changed from 9/30 - 10/20 to 10/3 - 10/20. This is the first time the end date of my EDD is sooner than then last EDD. update. Just sold my 2012 Audi A3 to Carvana yesterday for $13,336. CarMax offered $11,700. Vroom $9,000, Tesla $8,500. Getting back $13K for a $40K car...

No, that is no me. That is someone else's post I saw on a Model 3 facebook group. Mine is still 9/30 to 10/20 and no VIN.

Oh no, that is no me. That is someone else's post I saw on a Model 3 facebook group. Mine is still 9/30 to 10/20 and no VIN.
