I just picked up my Model 3 Highlander/2024, and what a car! Coming from a 2020 Fremont quality SR+ to a Shanghai 2024 LR is a huge upgrade! But… screen protectors, where do you get them (especially you Europeans, since I am looking for a distributor on the continent)? I see a lot on...

Tesla called me yesterday with an update on the car. The drive unit is broken and needs to get replaced. Apparently the inverter was faulty, and set off a chain reaction which completely messed up the drive unit. Unfortunately due to, well, the world, they can’t get me a new drive unit until...

Yesterday my car shut down in the freeway close to my home here in Switzerland (see picture below for a flying Model Y) We had just entered the autobahn (freeway) and accelerated to 120 km/h (75 mph). After 20 seconds I got the error: “power reduced rear motor temporarily disabled”. After 5-10...

Hi everyone I currently have the Hansshow trunk V4, which I am very pleased with. But the struts are horrible, and having started causing a ton of trouble for me. I can try to have them exchanged by support, but the design is not really good. The V7 struts seem pretty sturdy, and I thought if...

I have the past couple of months experienced some quit worrying sounds coming from the back, while driving my Model 3. I initially thought it was the children seat I had in the back, but after taking basically the trunk and rear seats apart, it seems to be coming from somewhere around there. In...

I just Got the Hansshow premium audio upgrade harness installed in my M3 2020 SR+. I didn’t do this myself, but I got a 3rd party workshop to do it for me. When I got the car back, I noticed that I persistently got the error “eCall emergency call system needs service”. The error won’t go away...

I’m heavily debating whether or not install the power trunk set from Hansshow in my Model 3 SR+ 2020 model. After having reviewed several guides online, I found that I wanted it “done right” and let the cables from the power struts being run from under the bumper instead of having them run...

I’ve had my M3 for a bit over 7 months now, and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned! since July I have noticed a rattle sound from the front trim inside in the cabin - near the front speaker grill. Tesla has had it in for service twice now, but they haven’t had luck fixing it. Last time they...

Taptes and its lack of customer support As many other tesla owners, I have many times looked at the Taptes website for cool extras for my TM3. Before i got the car, i decided to order the taptes model 3 floor mats, both due to the price, and the semingly good reviews of the products. After...

I have a model 3 SR+, and I'm located in Denmark. When i got the car about 2 weeks ago, it imidiately updated to 2020.4, but i haven't received any news on updating to either 2020.8.1 or 2020.12 at all. I have AP HW3.0 (since it's a brand new car). Is there a way for me to force my car to update?

I have a M3 SR+ With HW3.0, and unfortunately still no update yet

I just took delivery of my model 3 SR+ last week, but i have noticed that my left strut toucher the rubber sealing on the left side of the boot while opening and closing. The right side does not touch. I can accept certain tolerances in the car, but i am worried that the friction might damage...

I know this is very country specific, but so far i haven't been able to get any new on this subject. I just received my Model 3 SR+ yesterday, and i really want the premium connectivity feature as soon as possible, to get spotify and other services to work. Unfortunately the service is not...
