    A solution to mystery squeak while driving

    Shortly after adopting my Model 3, I started hearing a squeaking sound. It seemed to be coming from the dash or center console, but I couldn't pin it down or reproduce it on cue. Just whenever driving it would appear for a while and then go away for a while, though it was worse on bumpy roads...

    Driver seat squeaking sound

    I had a similar problem. It sounded like it was coming from dash or console and was mysteriously worse when I turned the car to the right. The SC looked into it and found that the posts attaching the seat to the floor were slightly off center and so were rubbing against the metal of the holes...

    Anyone regret white interior?

    I love white, best decision I made with the car; gives me a thrill every damn time I look at it or get inside. Also, I just posted this in another thread: I recommend getting white decals for the door-release buttons. I got mine here from Abstract Ocean. Make sure you change the color selection...

    Difference between black and white interior

    Commasign is right. Hitting the button makes the car FIRST lower the windows, THEN trigger the door latch. Whereas the emergency release immediately triggers the door latch manually. So now the car doesn't have the split second it usually gives itself to lower the windows first. It still tries...

    Difference between black and white interior

    Oh, and I also recommend getting white decals for the door-release buttons. I got mine here from Abstract Ocean. Make sure you change the color selection to white. It really makes them pop, and it prevents every single person from pulling the emergency-release lever because they don't see the...

    Difference between black and white interior

    The white strip is not the simulated leather, fyi. It's a smooth white aluminum. Possibly anodized, maybe painted. But it is metal, cool to the touch. I would have preferred a strip of the fake leather, as that's what's in the accent area of the doors and it looks & feels fabulous there. But...

    Protective Wrap/Ceramic Coat Option in Hampton Roads VA (Norfolk/VB)

    Howdy all. Last time I posted was for advice when my new Model 3, Newmoon, got broken into--though it turned it it hadn't been broken into, just left unlocked due to bluetooth losing sync. [facepalm] But now, I get to post something positive. I searched around for a good way to partially wrap...

    Car broken into, no smashing, as if it had been unlocked. What happened? [from 2019]

    You guys were all absolutely right. I ran a few re-creations of the traumatic event and I'm 100% certain that either: I didn't TOTALLY get the door shut when I closed it, or I used the keycard and the phone key wasn't properly connected (my phone bluetooth is finicky). This is something I...

    Car broken into, no smashing, as if it had been unlocked. What happened? [from 2019]

    Hello all. I am heartbroken that my first post to this great community as a new Model 3 owner is to talk about a breakin. But last night, I came out to a parking lot after a movie and my passenger door was slightly ajar and my valuables (fortunately not much) stolen. She was in Sentry Mode and...
