Thanks for creating this very useful app! Works great with a Belkin adapter and OnePlus 3 (you have to enable USB storage devices in the settings). I'll be trying it on my wife's Pixel 2 next.

The front roof panel is tinted as is the front half or so of the rear window. Because tint regulations vary state-to-state, the side windows and bottom of rear window are untinted (Telsa transitions the roof tint to no tint mid-glass on the back panel). Definitely need side/rear tint in Texas...

After searching online for people tinting only the back half of the rear glass, I didn't see anything that didn't end up with a big tint differential, even if they could hide the actual line on a defroster line. I tinted the entire rear with 30% and it looks great and didn't look too much...

Hand wash at home -- is there any other way ;) Decided to wash off the bug splatters from a ~200 mile trip yesterday in the 3. Washing the front of the Model 3 is a breeze compared to the Model S (with nosecone) since it has really clean lines and relatively few nooks and crannies.

Good question: It goes on the entire painted/chrome surfaces and he applied it to the Aeros as well. It may also go on plastic parts like headlights/taillights as well (I meant to ask). Brian was working on our red 3 and a blue 3 at the same time. They videoed the application on one or...

Got our red Model 3 back from Austin Detailing this morning and it looks fabulous! We decided to go with the higher-end Feynlab Self Heal Lite, which should be more resilient than the Opticoat on my S and also has the ability to "heal" minor scratches when exposed to heat (either ambient or a...

I am so sorry to hear that! Probably someone too busy gawking at the pretty car in front of them to pay attention to driving. :eek:

We took delivery yesterday as well (in Austin). Temporary permit was taped to the back window and there was a second copy in the glovebox. It should be present at delivery, so for anyone picking one up, make sure you find it or ask for it.

I'll post details and pictures when I get our Model 3 back. I mainly don't want to post inaccurate information.

I used Brian at Austin Detailing (at Burnet/183) for the coating, and they arranged tinting as well at Sunbusters (at 183 & Duval) for the Model 3. My Model S was originally a loaner in Denver for the first three months of it's life (over winter at that), so Brian gave it a lot of TLC to...

We picked up ours today as well. It looks great and we had fun driving it for ~45 minutes before dropping it off for tint/OptiCoat. Definitely drives like a lighter car than the Model S and a slightly different acceleration curve than my S85 (unfortunately, I haven't found myself at the front...

Sorry Gecko... It looks like cars delivered in Austin are coming in on I-10 based on a couple of conversations I've had. That also explains the truck of Model 3's spotted in San Antonio last seek that ended up in Austin. If you have a delivery next week, I would expect a truck to show up in...

I think the red one with Aeros in the back should be ours :D. We stopped by this afternoon, however, and didn't find one with the right VIN, so I'm hoping they were getting it cleaned up.

Who else in Austin has an upcoming delivery date scheduled? We have one for March 13th (3 weeks after we completed payment/paperwork). I'm starting to wonder if we just missed making the first truck and are having to wait for a second truck to be filled. Eric

You'll know your indoctrination is complete when you start leaving your non-Tesla car(s) unlocked because you didn't even think about locking it as you walked away ;).
