It came out really nice. We ended up spending around 12 hours for doing it on 2 cars simultaneously. Just followed the instructional videos that are available in this forum and youtube. Plan ahead, order all supplies and just dedicate about a day, that's it!!!

I recently applied ceramic coat myself. In fact, my friend and I did both the cars together. We ended up spending around $400 for materials for both the cars and around 12 hours of labor. It was not bad. There are a lot of good videos, tips in this forum. I am very happy with the results. Good...

When I got the notification that a new update is available, it already downloaded it. When I choose apply it now, it just applied it. Overall took under 10 min.s to complete update.

Got the 39.7 update last night. My observations so far, improved auto pilot especially around smooth breaking, head up option in addition to north up in maps, web browser with decent load time, and able to send destination address from google maps on my Samsung S9+ directly to 3.

Front windows 50%, rear windows 35% with xpel prime. No difference in auto dimming after applying window tint.

Applied cquartz UK 3.0 ceramic coat on my 3 and friend's 3 too in about a day. Great walk through and tips from the videos posted in this thread and elsewhere. The overall process is not bad, but definitely laborious. It took us about 12 hours for 4 guys to complete 2 cars. Here are high level...

Here are pics of dual puck QI wireless charger from RPM Tesla. I am not too impressed by the way as it requires phone to in a specific position for it to charge. I would rather wait for Tesla's wireless charger to be available and go with that.

Ahh, ok. Service center might be able to help you with fixing aero when cap issue while you wait. SC in Richmond is great with helping us out for quick fixes with out long wait.

Alright, my friend and I completed ceramic coat on my Model 3 and his too in about a day. It took us good 12 hours to complete 2 cars. We were working on both the cars together. We are very pleased with the results. It's not at all difficult, but it's definitely labor intensive. Here are a few...

Haven't installed door edge guards yet, but they are on the list :)

Yes, I had it happen to me once so far in about 4 weeks of driving. I did the same thing you mentioned, got out of the car and got back in. I am planning to make a SC appointment if it happens again.

You are not factoring in additional supplies cost, which could bring the total cost to $250-$300. My friend and I are planning to apply c quartz UK 3.0 on his car and mine this weekend. We are sharing supplies and tools and the total cost comes to $400, so $200 per car.

That seems really high. I have auto insurance, home owner's insurance through AllState as well. I pay $375 for Tesla 3 and $330 for Infiniti QX60 for 6 months. My deductibles are $100 for comprehensive and $500 for collision. No tickets in the last 5 years.

Sorry, meant to say solid black was 0.
