    Model 3 Xpel wrap in WA

    Have had 3 Teslas (2 S, 1 3) fully-wrapped at Metropolitan Detail. Do great work.

    Swinging charging pole

    Maybe covered in other replies - suggest wrapping pole & hardware in a protective foam so in the unlikely event the pole falls on your vehicle any damage would be superficial. My charging power is also on the wall opposite the charging port, so have had to lay cable on concrete floor, for the...

    Front License Plate Bracket For Tesla Model 3

    Your revised prototype doesn't interfere with the air intake, which is probably important.

    Vendor Group Buy for Model 3 All-Weather Floor Mats

    Just ordered a front seat(s) set for our just delivered red Model 3. Mandatory here in the Pacific Northwest. So excited that I forgot to take the 20% discount. :-(

    Vendor Tesla Model 3 Protection

    The vehicle John is referring to above is our red Model 3, which I dropped off at their shop on Monday and hope to pick up tomorrow, Friday. Metro Detail has applied a full wrap to both Model S vehicles I have owned. I don't believe I have an OCD personality ( :-) ), but I do appreciate how...

    Tesla Model 3 First Drive Reviews

    4.5 years ago, when I took delivery of my first Model S, I remember crying on the drive home, crying with the joy of being so fortunate as to own/drive such a fantastic vehicle. Had the same experience all over again this morning, driving home my partner's Model 3. What a beautiful car, what a...

    GOP tax reform bill would end the $7500 EV tax credit (and other tax related grousing and grumbling)

    If it hasn't been suggested earlier in this thread, email your federal senators and congresspersons, asking them to do what they can to remove this EV tax credit elimination from today's H.R. 1. It will take you 10 minutes max - something to do until your M3 arrives. :)

    What type of car is Model 3 replacing for you?

    2012 Prius, although the Prius will probably not leave the stable until its current driver ("soon" to be a M3 driver) has vanquished any remain shreds of range anxiety. Stable includes (2nd) Model S and 2000 Toyota Tundra (out: clean green & in: compost).

    Tint/Wrap/Electronics Recommendations Seattle area

    Metro Detail did a full Xpel wrap on BOTH my Model S's - excellent job, nice folks. $8K, well-worth every penny.

    [Incorrect post] EV Tax credit mischaracterization

    Over the past 48 months I have purchased two Tesla Model S vehicles. The two purchases were in two different calendar/tax years. On my tax returns for each year I was able to claim the full $7,500 tax credit - in other words, the federal taxes I owed/paid were reduced by $7,500, for each of...

    Going to pass on AWD to get my Model 3 sooner, anyone else doing the same?

    My first Tesla Model S 85 was RWD and, of course, it was a fantastic automobile. After 20 months of ownership I "upgraded" to a 85D AWD, mostly 'cause I wanted to experience AWD (my first AWD vehicle) and the enhanced AP capabilities. 24 months later still totally in love with this car. Hope to...

    Electrician in Seattle

    Wayne Sandall at Active Engineering ([email protected]) installed my outlet, in 2013, for nearly $1,000. Conduit from the panel, with more than adequate power available, NEMA 14-50 outlet, with regular 110 outlet attached (Christmas lights!). Have since installed a 30-panel solar...

    60D and P85 was just canceled (as was green, brown and black roofs)

    I love my GREEN S85 and with the full Expel clear wrap the car looks stunning most of the time. Think if I move to the full-on P85D I'll go for the super RED color, black interior and darker wheels.
