    New removable front plate holder (Snapplate). Anybody try it yet?

    A question for snap plate users out there, how often do you remove and reattach the plate? How does the arm and plate frame stand up to the abuse?

    This gap below the windshield

    Fixed, the mobile service person showed me how to push it in. You will need to first put the wipers into service mode, then lift the hood cover, remove the large plastic cover between the frunk and the wipers, remove another smaller plastic vent top section, then you can lift the bottom of that...

    This gap below the windshield

    Nice to know, I did try to push that trim piece myself but I was afraid of applying too much pressure will damage the windshield. Mobile service will come over next week so I'm hoping for the best

    This gap below the windshield

    After some rainy weather recently I have noticed this gap between the windshield and the plastic trim under the wipers. It's like a bulge was formed in the middle of this plastic trim. On both ends however, you will find them sitting flush with the windshield. The bulged part feels firm as I...

    Bay Area PPF shops

    Just yelp it. I'm sure you will find more or less the same information there. But in terms of personal experience, I used ocdetailing and I would say it was worth every penny. The level of attention to detail and professionalism is what I paid for. About 6 months after the PPF installation I...

    Auto present door handles for Model 3 now available

    Too pricy for what it does. Also, the handle on model S was a major failing point after some time I would be very cautious when installing something like this on my model 3. what if it fails can I still manually open the door? The soft closing door is nice. Do want

    39,900

    Hey it's a good investment with the current political atmosphere. Maybe soon you will need a truck that's perfectly designed to be in a Mad Max movie... Cybertruck 2020, or 2024, or whenever the smart people at TESLA will convince Elon to remove windows on it so it will actually work as an...

    Glass Breaking Fail

    The reason glass broke is that the energy got no where to go with that rigid frame around the glass, if you watch the prior demo of the free fall ball, the armored glass was able to break free of the clamps around of it so the energy from the ball was transferred to doing that instead of...

    One pedal mode uses the brakes?

    I tested one pedal driving on my 2019 P3D+ and on flat surface I can only feel from my foot lightly rested on the brake pedal that the brake was applied when the vehicle's speed reaches 0 from any speed (up to 40mph). I have tested this multiple times on the same flat road with the same result...

    "You'll Lose 23 Miles of Range If You Order Your TM3 Performance With the Big 20-Inch Wheels"

    More importantly, why is 2020 P3D+ less efficient than 2019 P3D+? Does that mean 2020 P3D+ has more ponies?

    Has anyone really used a 12V pump to fill tire?

    https://www.amazon.com/AUTLEAD-Tire-Inflator-Portable-Compressor/dp/B07NRT5ZB3/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=tire+inflator+12v+autlead&qid=1571673513&sr=8-3 I have used this product to refill all 4 tires on my P3D+ at some cold morning when I got low tire pressure alert from the screen. The pump was...

    New removable front plate holder (Snapplate). Anybody try it yet?

    This is exactly why I don't want to consider plastic license plate holder. Many people has argued that metal would break the front plastic grill in extreme conditions. However, it is depended on the plate holder frame structure. For a rigid frame like this one it could potentially be a risk to...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I'm not complaining about high consumption rate of my performance model 3, I have never compared the consumption rate with anyone as I just assumed performance models will always have above average consumption which is 250 wh/mi. I was pretty surprised by the number reported by pnlyee after he...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I'm very surprised that you managed just 235.8 Wh/mi for the first 10k miles on your performance model 3, I have just over 5k on my performance model 3 with 20 inch OEM wheels, I live in the SF bay area and have very similar commute as you but my power consumption is close to 300 Wh/mi since...
