    Model 3 Window Tinting - Llumar or Xpel?

    I have Xpel XR + on the 3 I now have. I've been considering: Since I'm old, I don't drive long distances anymore, only drive around 9,000 miles a year, maybe I no longer need the top of the line ceramic film anymore. Maybe the second layer down of ceramic film will do us OK??? I've been...

    Model 3 Window Tinting - Llumar or Xpel?

    I should not have asked you, dumb on my part I have been seeing prices around $1200 for all windows tinted, top of the line film from Llumar and Xpel tint shops and was a tad surprised when quoted for 3M top of the line at $1500. Maybe 3M is a tad more expensive? What did startle me was...

    Model 3 Window Tinting - Llumar or Xpel?

    Stopped by Tech Auto Glass this afternoon I liked the owner and talked to a couple installers in the shop. Seem like nice guys. The only thing that disappointed me was the fact that their price to do all the windows in my new Model 3 was $300-$400 more than other shops Are that good to be...

    The rears can be rotated and the fronts can be rotated. Just can't rotate the fronts to the rear and the rears to the front

    I have ordered two Tesla M3's since 2019 at a total cost of about $21,000 for FSD. A couple days ago, I ordered the new 2024 M3P. My FSD will not transfer over to the new 2024 M3 that's coming and I don't want add $8,000 to the FSD amount already spent over 4 1/2 years. So, I going to subscribe...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I'm like you, not worth delaying the excitement/enjoyment of having & driving this new/refreshed M3P. I'll probably end up not purchasing FSD and do a subscription. I use FSD every time I drive my car

    Yes, that can and might happen. No one knows. It's a gamble

    In 4 1/2 years I have purchased two M3s both with FSD which has cost me a total of about $21,000 I would love to buy this M3P and I would do it now except it really eats at me to spend $8000 more for FSD. Maybe the best way would be to subscribe to FSD for $99 a month and then it wouldn't bug...

    Lowering springs for Model 3 Highland

    Very nice I have been considering lowering springs. But now not so sure... I talked to a guy a couple days ago and his M3 was really lowered. Way too low for me. He had Coilovers. He mentioned all the cars he has seen and one of his own that had lowering springs made the car look lower in...

    Tom Today, I saw a Tesla M3 that was really lowered (I thought too much so but hey, I have teeth on the front of my car. Everyone's different). I stopped him and we talked. He told me every car he has seen with lowering springs only made the car look like the back end of the car was lower...

    In my case, is having a pro do a ceramic coating worth it?

    It's not a "wax job". It's ceramic coating and I do not have the expertise to apply pro-ceramic. It takes hours of buffing and prep to get the car's paint, rims, glass ready for ceramic. The pro I have talked to applies two layers. I know the ceramic he uses costs about $145 for a very...

    In my case, is having a pro do a ceramic coating worth it?

    I would love someone knowledgeable let me know whether a ceramic coating by a pro is needed or what I am now doing is fine I have a 2022 M3. The front of the car has been PPFd and its color is Tesla white. I am considering having a pro do a ceramic coating for the cost for $1000 using Shine...

    Tesla road tumbler top explained

    I was looking at this tumbler for my wife for coffee and I'm glad I found this thread. My wife has dementia and it looks like it might be a tad difficult for her to use or understand. Am I correct in thinking?

    So far, I have not noticed any decrease in air flow. It seems to be about the same or the decrease so small that it's not noticeable.

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    A poster above said... "With the new seal put in place it won't suck in air from the top anymore, I think it would get it from other openings? Maybe that's why Tesla didn't run the seal all the way" My question to you is... Have you noticed any lack of or diminished air coming through the vents...

    I have an FSD question

    EV-Rider-FL You were very knowledgeable about FSD and helped me I have another... Why is the Set Speed greyed out and not useable? Even when Minimal Lane Change for Current Drive is turned on, the Set Speed is still greyed out. Am I missing something?

    It was so easy, flip a switch to make the computer ask before making a turn Why the change?

    I have an FSD question

    To me that's sad. I like a tad bit more control in that area. Now, I have to stop the car from taking the turn which turns off FSD
