    Xenon HID upgrade

    I'm probably misunderstanding but, if you have the original Tesla HID update, isn't the bulb a specific part paired to the transformer that's included? FYI, I actually switched my original conversion to LEDs a couple of years ago.

    Factory Model 3 Screen Protector?

    I'd recommend removal unless you're thinking that you're likely to scratch it. I found that the screen was so much better after!

    Lowering the Model 3

    I have the TSportline on the RWD, trouble free fine since 2018. I have 15mm / 20mm spacers on the 19's powder coated. They don't rub or ground on anything so far. Would definitely do those again!

    Lowering the Model 3

    @Leilomo I posted a video at showing the difference between the UP Moderate and TSportline which are the same as the UP Mild. So, you can see what happens if you go too far!

    Charging the Roadster

    +1 for the above and, the other options include but are not limited to... 1. Open and close your charge port at least ten times in quick succession to 'reset' the system. 2. If you have no reaction to the cord then, yes, it's likely the GFCI. I (and I stress I ) would cut the GFCI off and...

    Sudden Unintended Acceleration

    Definitely. It takes a while to get used to using your left foot without any force ( compared to the clutch pedal some old piston cars have to have) but yes, there’s a reason why race drivers use both feet!

    Lowering the Model 3

    Interrrrreeeessstttingg... My TSportLine springs have been problem free for a couple of years but started creaking recently. They're sending out some plastic sleeves to resolve it.

    Flufferbot, 'Hollowgate' and the hollow floor noise

    As your car was post May I don't think that you ever had it. I suspect you just didn't notice it. The way we've detected it though has been to bang on the floor to see if it resonates, not actually press hard like that. Maybe you could mention it to your service center next time it's near.

    Flufferbot, 'Hollowgate' and the hollow floor noise

    From what we know, this is more cosmetic than structural - this is still a Model 3 with a 5-star+ safety rating so, I would think that your son is as safe as it gets! The difference between your car and mine is that when the metal flexes a bit, there's a bit of fluffy padding under the metal...

    Any Luck Hearing Back from RoadsterServiceNA?

    I feel that we were duped... again. I and a few friends have emailed the support line with no response at all.

    is it normal for the clunk noise from rear when accelerating/deaccelerating

    It is absolutely normal, the slack in the transmission is spectacular. Fix: transition from drive to regen gently. You can get the same by pushing the car back/forward on flat ground with handbrake off and in park.

    What is a BSM Fault? What is going bad?

    Battery Safety Monitor is a popular fault, it's usually damp in the cabin heater causing great fear in the high voltage system monitors. If you can, wheel it out into the sun to warm through or, if you can, turn on the blower fan or heater and chances are it'll clear. If not, come back the...
