Anyone tried many of the various textures/coatings available on screen protectors, which ones make the most sense in a automotive environment with that brightness of screen, direct sunlight, or other helpful factors? Is there a preference for a specific type ? Matte was popular for phones for...

If they don't make them off the shelf, a 3D print might be a viable solution? Not to dissuade you , but they look functionally better in the original configuration to allow anything that does find its way into the track, to naturally fall out?

People that have the OEM Tesla trailer lighting module for the Model 3, does the Tesla model 3 module have populated and active pinouts for the Low Voltage DC output on Pins 9/13 and 10/11, typically used for things like charging a trailer mounted battery, brake controllers, etc? Specifically...

Question for people battling this issue repeatedly: Is there any good way to check the HVAC for existing "hidden smell" when purchasing a vehicle? What blower setting, mode and procedure might best give a indication a existing vehicle has that problem, even if they swapped new filters, or...

In theory would a larger LV battery capacity waste less energy in certain scenarios, as the contractors and systems wouldn't need to be turned on/off as frequently, for instance when camping and drawing off the LV cell directly? Is there a known limit to the DC2DC ability to charge the LV...

Just curious if anything has changed on that front, as the post references the optional tow hitch on the unreleased M3L >M3L optional #TowHitch (500kg + 25kg vert.) Hoping that would mean a US factory supported hitch and ancillary equipment might finally be available in the US for the Model 3...

Anyone have any details which markets might the optional Model 3 tow hitch be available for? Any possibility for the US market finally? Was the UK the only market the Model 3 Tesla OEM hitch and trailer module was previously release?

Seen this asserted also, is there any long term clear and trusted data to support that supposition either way for a P vs LR battery degradation with the same cell?

Most seem to gravitate to the Tesla options even with the multitude of alternatives, most alternatives seem less compelling other than for niche applications, many times only for a program incentive or perks from their utility through a specific platform. Almost certainly if you don't know why...

Anyone failure with towing rules in the US? Is there any ordinance, rule or law prohibiting Adding a hitch to any US vehicle on the state or federal level? Other than reasonable practicality or self preservation, what if anything dictates when a vehicle can tow or how much it can tow in the US?

Curious about this also! Even if only to understand how effective that profile could be compared to a more traditional aspect. The weight on those is fairly low IIRC, even if the large diameter is reducing some of the benefit. Despite the clear detractors I wonder how much a wheel profile like...

Possible anyone could speculate how much current can safely be drawn from the Model 3 gray 3 pin trailer plug? Is there possibly a reference avalible anywhere for guidance? Does this circuit sit behind the type of circuit breakers I think most of these vehicles utilizes, and enjoy the same type...

I believe the rules are different in the UK. No such limitation here. If I understand correctly, if the vehicle does not come with the tow bar included in the UK, the placard is rated differently to reflect that, despite there being No known difference in the unibody construction of a model 3...

Did the Model 3 Performance ever lose the rear Brembo Brake calipers like the Model Y Performance did ~22' ? Or did it retain them uninterrupted?

Thank you for such thoughtful feedback and information, it's a fairly Niche topic, so not much Model 3 specific feedback available out there, since I think the Model Y is configured very differently. And that post was Very Helpful, Thank You! On the topic of trailer brakes towing and Regen...
