Just to the right of the rear view mirror, against the headliner.

If a non paint repair is needed (eg, just flexing the corner of the fender a bit) I wouldn't worry.

Yes, it goes off the steering angle sensor. Fun fact: If your alignment is off, and the steering wheel is off center when going straight, the icon is rotated too!

IIRC it's to do with where the balance weight or valve stem should line up.

Behind the front grille is a small radiator. On cool days, when the car only needs to cool the battery some, it will use this radiator to cool the battery instead of starting the compressor. This is likely what you were seeing.

I imagine the service center could order this part for you. For USA cars, 1077407-00-F is the part number for the right rear reflector. Looks like it just clips into the bumper.

There are two wires / probes that measure the conductivity of the fluid. Some fluids, like rainx, coat the probes so they don't conduct properly. This makes the car thing the tank is empty when it isn't.

Sure, you can get tinted films. There's also options like DupliColor Metalcast paint if you want something permanent.

The Model 3's brake pedal is connected to the iBooster, which is connected directly to a conventional master cylinder and ABS install. the iBooster works a lot like electric power steering. It helps you push the pedal, but the pedal moving is what does the application of the master cylinder...

In our prior Touareg, I had to use a trailer plug adapter with some resistors in it to make the trailer control module happy. IIRC I got it on Amazon.

Interesting. I'll let BigEarl know!

Yup, this. In addition to the Model 3, we have Fiat and GM EVs. Both have nice points, but the Tesla's power, fast charge network, and great driving experience easily beats both.

They're power only.

Yup! There’s a Lisa 2/10, a 2/5 (but the profile is the rarer 10mb version), an IBM Portable PC 5155 (an XT with the guts crammed into a case with a handle), and a Data Genera One laptop. -J

How warm did the UPS get in this test?
