    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Just finished detailing the black one. IMO the ‘24 is so much more visually appealing than the legacy.

    It’s been raining off and on. And in the upper 70s (90s in the all black car interior readings) I have not seen any condensation.

    For the rear just make sure you watch a video or pay attention to how to bend the flap to lock the tab into the bodywork! It’s a little physically difficult on purpose once they are locked in the mudflaps are perfectly shaped to the car, zero gap.

    Highly recommend the mudflaps from EV base. They come with all of the pins needed to install. Took me about 15mins total. Front and rear!

    I’m sure ppl get used to it, but I have had a hard time riding in Rivian R1S I’m not a person who gets carsick at all, but something about the way that R1S accelerates gets me.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Yeah sorry. Most screen protectors these days have a tapered edge so the glass is actually less thick as it approaches the ends of the screen. The Spigen anti-glare matte screen protector for the highland is not tapered so it’s prone to catching dust/hair, and prying in the corners (the 2023...

    Tuxmat is the high end, won’t be available until late april at the earliest. TSLAUCAY on amazon has a set for 2024 Highland with a user who posted pics in their highland. $200 for all six mats looks like the max-spider material. mine will be here tuesday.

    Just wanted to leave this here. IMO the rearview mirror benefits from a bezel. I did not think i’d use the one for the screen. The Spigen matte glass protector fits perfect on the monitor but the edges are not tapered, this little rim perfectly covers the spigen edge and is smaller than the...

    It’s def happening I saw a white interior in the wild on the 5 yesterday. They are real. I was hoping it was one of u guys

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Got a promotion for being the first Highland. Usually around 6-7k out the door for all the things i had done. It can be done for way cheaper if just getting old on the hot spots (sometimes called a clear bra)!

    Got OEM silver ones and had a shop paint them. $80 for all the badges and $75 to have painted the correct black. The letters from emblemsonly do not match the stock letters in size or 3d shape.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    super easy. Two hands on each photon sprocket thumbs pressed on rubber of wheel go all around once to loosen then pull. super. Just align the valve stem and tap gently (use a towel so u don’t bash the plastic directly) took me about 2mins per wheel...

    This is a full PPF. On top of the PPF it has a ceramic coating applied. All windows have a 30% ceramic tint applied. I had the badges painted Tesla Solid Black.

    Here’s some updates post wrap. Switched out the photons for EVbase’s wheel covers. About to sit down and remove the red dots!

    I’m not saying that it will never happen, I am saying it will not happen any time soon. Not by a long shot, to replicate what tesla has done in the last ten years in terms of production, supply chain and manufacturing. This is a decade to decade conversation. Let’s pick this chat up again when...

    That’s my point, competition won’t catch up.
  25. 1stEV_24_M3_LR

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    The “problem” is that the product alone does retain customers. And competitors just can’t survive on their own. Look at what’s happening with Fisker (15% layoff, 50% of oceans sitting on lots yet to be delivered, all planned future EVs on hold), Rivian (all in on the R2S with a 10% layoff...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    PPF alone I agree is great for minor flecks and ease of cleaning , downside being detailing can leave something to be desired and over time they can yellow (especially 3m coatings from 2016-2020 era). However it can be a game changer in high impact zones. Having. ceramic coating applied to the...

    Usually runs about -6500 without tint. Most places do a discount to put a ceramic coat over ppf vs over paint since the paint prep can take a bit of time and effort.

    All the tesla paints are on the more fragile end, I can’t speak to the ultra red and stealth grey.

    For those of you who want to wrap and have to remove badges or black out their badges: 1) the T E S L A letters from autoid and emblemsonly are NOT OEM, not even close. Head to the parts department (must be in person) and order these: Better to do sooner bc dealers are only getting 1-2 full...

    Picked up a little while ago. Just dropped at the shop getting PPF + Tint.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Good question, i think that’s a pure supply issue since the manufacturing process to change the wheel load out is much less involved than interior.

    Might follow up with if your order date wasn’t within first two weeks you will likely be shifted to the next batch of AWD. Which may or may not come before white interior anything. Seems like the production’s re going A Few AWDs as test batch and test drivers (test drivers are grey and red...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    AWD orders are filling now by order date. Just not white interiors, those are probably next (likely see those in next two weeks). AWD orders for the most part are by order date, changing config in the AWD queue (white interior to black) likely shuffles your position back into the ppl who ordered...
