Three month check in with the DIY solution I posted about on the previous page of this thread. Still working a treat on my 22 M3P.

All good on my 22 M3P after just shy of a month. Also cleared the fault on my dad’s 22 MYP.

Yep, I recommend getting at least two extra wire receptacles since they're pretty finicky to crimp - the wire's resistor is honestly a ridiculously large gauge. I ended up trimming some of the stranded pairs down to reduce the thickness for a better crimp. Good call mentioning the male...

Update: the above listed contraption worked perfectly. Definitely skip the cavity plugs though - the wire attached to the resistor I listed already fits snug inside the connector cavity since the wire diameter is quite large. Totally happy with the outcome, and I was finally able to install...

I ordered some parts to get an "oem quality" fake speaker contraption: - https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity/1718760-2?qs=%252BJ%252BJwDEtia1fDBB9Ce5N%252Bg%3D%3D&countryCode=US&currencyCode=USD -...

How are you mating those wires with the Tesla’s harness? I was hoping to hook the resistor up to the abstract ocean isolators so it uses the same connector, but it seem like I’m missing something (like a wire receptacle: 1718762-1 : AMP MCON, RECEPTACLE AND TAB ). Maybe you don’t need that since...

Fair enough. Is there any downside of overrating the wattage and getting one of the many 25w 4ohm resistors on Amazon like this one? They come with bulky metal heat sinks, but I suspect that wouldn’t really matter much.

This is the exact setup I have - I've been avoiding the 2022.28.2 update until I can find a suitable resistor. Can you post a link to the exact resistor you got? I found some on Amazon but I'm a bit lost in the sea of options, and nothing specifically mentions water resistance.

Chat on the website just directed me to talk to my SA - but she replied to my text and put the order on hold again while I was trying to chat on the website. So all is good now. Home delivery is new to me though. Has anyone with the Costa Mesa delivery center had home delivery? We picked up one...

Getting a little worried now. I texted my SA yesterday and told her I don’t want the car this quarter. Got a text about them delivering it to my house in 1-3 days(!) this morning, replied to that and asked them to unmatch me. Our local delivery center won’t answer the phones 🥴 I still haven’t...

Got assigned VIN # 020458 ! Unfortunately, my company bumped our in-person work date to “no sooner than October” as of yesterday (which likely means January 2022) so I’ll be postponing delivery until next quarter. Again. See y’all in a few months - and I’ll be interested to hear if anyone gets...

Part of me hopes Tesla will reverse their decision on Radar removal (like auto dimming mirrors back in 2020), but I know that won’t happen. I actually ordered back in April and have had my order on hold since now. If only I took delivery right away :rolleyes:

Yesterday was September 6-26th, today’s EDD is July 17 - July 27 I don’t really want it until September though…

Wow, right there in my face. Thanks lol.

I personally appreciate the parking chimes on my M3, but I was talking to my Mom (who recently got a 2021 Model 3) and she was complaining about the beeping noises every time she parks in her narrow garage. She was also complaining about the car constantly going in park while reversing, but...
