Seems reasonable. Tesla could be trying to maintain the 400+ miles range by EPA est and not have to lower it like the rest of the line up.

That's what I was trying to figure out. I guess one way to figure out if any of these "new specs" will impact existing owners (besides someone testing top speed) is if a Plaid owner checks their range estimate after the most recent software update.

That's what I was thinking too.

Just saw an article from another site and double checked on Tesla's website that the top Speed for Long Range is now 130. Is this just for new orders or are current owners of refresh LRs also going to be reduced through software updates? Not that I am going 130+ often, but still. Thanks.

Installed mine today. Really like them!

You could always try it on one side of the car. That way you can compare black versus bronze. I say try it, you can always peel it off.

Nice. I just bought the covers as well. Never thought about bronze on the Ultra Red, should be interesting!

Bumping this thread. I am interested in the Hansshow wheel covers and want to see if anyone has bought and installed yet?

I did everything you mentioned. One of the problems I had was the paint would set very quickly and would require a decent amount of pressure to remove.

Here is a before. Hard to take good photos...sorry. The bottom two were very deep.

Yeah I worked on it this Saturday. I watched a ton of videos before to make sure I knew the process and issues that people run in to. It was difficult. I am very detail oriented and patient but I could not get it to work well. Are the scratches covered and not white anymore? Yes. Are they still...

It looks like the right stuff from Dr. Color Chip. Color code is right, color looks like it has the black flecks. I'll try my touch ups this weekend.

Did you have to remove the rear wheels?

I ordered the Dr. Color Chip set earlier this week. I'll let you know once I receive it. I have 7 chips on my rear driver side door and fender. The rest of my car is fine.

I only have the front installed bc I am too lazy to take the rear tires off. Hope these pictures help. I like them and the black matches the gloss black accents/trim.

Not yet,. I check on a weekly basis. I just got ANOTHER chip on my door on the way to work this morning. I knew I should've PPFd the whole car! It's so weird because in 5.5 years of ownership with the 3 I never had any chips on the side of my car, just front PPF that was getting battered. Here...

Any luck with touch up paint yet? I have 4 rock chips on my rear driver's side door, all fairly deep and bright white, that I want to cover up. Tesla Collision Center said it is too expensive for them to make a small amount so they couldn't do anything for me.

What are these future headlight unlocks you speak of?

I spoke with a Tesla employee at the Columbus Supercharger last week (they were there to fix all the down stalls) and he mentioned that Katy should be up and running this week. Told me he would be the one flipping the switch on it. Just a messenger, don't roast me if it doesn't happen. :)

My Max charge is only 283 now and seems to reduce by one mile a week for the last 3 or 4 months. I took it to the SC last week for that and a few other issues including needing a new 12V battery and they told me the 12V battery was what was causing the battery not to charge higher. I didn't...

I took a round trip from San Antonio to Carrizo Springs through dilley today. Wanted to let everyone know there are 6 destination chargers and 4 other chargers at a Hampton Inn in Carrizo Springs. In a pinch this could work, although they were only charging at 8 kw. I posted to plugshare with...

@Bandit I don't dilute on my Silver Metallic, but can definitely see how it could look streaky on dark cars w/o diluting. I use a very light damp microfiber when I apply the Reload and it has worked to minimize streaks a lot. After applying I usually find a streak here or there during my final...

I don't have a ceramic coat but do apply Reload after every other wash. I love the stuff! Really smooth and glossy even without the ceramic coating.

Good to know. I have a similar story with my old 2011 A4. My wife broke the passenger side clip when the car was basically new, I got mad, showed her how she was suppose to use the visor and broke mine too. I'll remember to be gentle with the visors on the 3....

Ditto. March 2018 build - tried all the "tips and tricks" as well and 90% is still 277. Oh well, if I actually needed the extra 15 miles on a trip I am doing something wrong.

I went a couple weeks ago for my first inspection and didn't even need to drive into the bay or get out of my car. One of the staff guys came to me with a big smile, told me he had never seen a Model 3 come in and wanted to see the screen in person. Came back 5 minutes later with my paperwork...

Nope, I'm still getting 278 at 90%. I was hoping to see the increase after charging last night....:(.

I looped some Paracord and clips through the holes under the trunk deck. It's very functional but I realize some may not like that it doesn't look stock. I used the green Paracord because that's all I had and was too lazy to make a trip to the store.

I love my first production car, but I think I would go for the Performance now (taking into account differences in tax credit, my purchase price, and current performance price). Don't know what color I would choose though because I love my silver metallic!

So I just noticed auto correct changed my last post from "about the size of a nickle" to pickle. Which is hilarious. Who uses a pickle as a standard of measurement? :D Update on the glass - they were unable to fill with resin due to the proximity to the edge. The suction cup didn't have a...

About the size of a pickle. Calling USAA to see if they can send someone to try to fill with resin.

Rock hit my rear roof glass yesterday and sounded like a gun shot. What are the chances this star will expand? Anyone know the cost to replace rear roof panel out of pocket?

Many of the people I talked to while waiting hours in line to reserve had it in their mind that they could get a $27,500 Tesla after tax credit. Many also indicated that was the only way they could afford the car. Some even thought that Autopilot was included in that price, not realizing the...

Turn AUTO climate off and recirculate will stay on even after turning off car and getting back in later. Of course you will have to toggle fan speed and temperature.

Like other have said, the creak I get seems to occur more in lower temperatures. I think it is coming from my seat because I can hear it when I shift my weight when parked. Who knows.....

Model 3 was always at the top of the list but if there was a major delay I was considering: Tesla Model S 75D Alfa Romeo Giulia Audi S5 Sportback Porche Macan S

NIce! Not cheap, but worth the money so you don't stare at a dent every time walk by your car!

+1 just tried mine out for the first time in 100 miles of state trooper saturated rural highways and they worked great! Ripped the plate off when I got back home. FYI - I have PPF on the bumper with Carpro Reload and had no issues attaching or removing. :)

I just got a Pixel 3 XL two days ago and have some wireless charging pucks in my dash (RPM Teslas Kit) and my phone says "Charging Slowly" when on the puck. When I left work yesterday I was at 73% and 50 minutes later I was at 93%. My home wireless charger is a Samsung unit I bought with my...

Thanks for the info!

I have never had any issues with the RPM wireless product described above. Admittedly, the pad material is not the nicest looking but your phone covers half of it. After placing the puck in a couple places to test for good connection I haven't had any issues and that is with heavy corner...

Got my suction cups in the mail a week ago...just need to sit down and install them. Glad to hear it works!

They apologized for the inconvenience and said they should be shipped today or Monday. I think they were waiting for a shipment. I have bought a couple other things from RPM and am pleased with quality compared to cost.

Ordered RPM's a month ago and the fulfillment status has not been updated since....take this into consideration if you want yours quickly. I'll email RPM to see what the hold up is.

Haven't run a front plate for about 7 years and only been pulled over once by a Trooper who gave me a warning. From what I have heard from others and my own experience, it looks like Troopers in smaller cities outside of metro areas are the ones pulling people over for this. I still cringe...

Does tinting the windshield create the rainbow effect when wearing polarized sunglasses?

Update: False Alarm. This morning energy consumption seems to be normal again. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so quickly on my end. Hope the OP can resolve his issue.

Similar issue today: I had mobile service come by today to rotate my tires and they also pushed 32.6 to my car. After driving 10 miles I noticed 25% higher wh/mi over normal and it seemed like any tiny push (like a 5-10% push) of the accelerator made the energy bar jump at least half way. The...

It's locked on my notification page as well and if you swipe down it gives the option to unlock doors or open frunk or trunk. If it fixes the phone as key issues i can live with it.
