    USB for dashcam exFAT vs FAT

    To follow up on this despite claims on reddit that this is supported i could not get it to work.

    USB for dashcam exFAT vs FAT

    Not true. Exfat stored copies of its partition table and has checksum capabilities. It is far more error tolerant than fat32. Ext4 is a superior choice, yes, BUT you cannot read it with a smartphone. At least not an android phone. Android won't automount ext4 partitions.

    USB for dashcam exFAT vs FAT

    To update this thread, as of 2020.8.1 Tesla vehicles now support exFAT file system. I'd recommend re-partitioning as exFAT. It's a more modern file system designed for flash devices.

    NEW M3 showing only 310 vs 322

    This is not a good recommendation. Use % instead of miles because miles can leave you with a dead car. On your trip, use the Energy Graph in the Charging menu to view your PROJECTED mileage which is based on your current average consumption. Miles display will lie to you since that is...

    "Export" vs "Domestic" side mirrors

    These certainly are nice. But I have no problem with the current mirrors if you use the "trick" for adjusting mirrors to view your blindspot. Most people are told to adjust their mirrors so you can just barely see the back quarterpanel of your car. This is still true. The trick is, when...

    Model 3 mud guards

    I think I'd rather have those than the logo monstrosities. Being official Tesla I assume they're somewhat designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind. Hopefully they'll be orderable in the US.

    Best all season tires?

    For what it's worth (to other people), your answer is relative to OP having the Pilot Sport 4S tires. The CrossClimate+ tires are generally an upgrade from the Primacy MXM4 tires in everything except efficiency and road noise. And in general even with MXM4 tires this car isn't traction limited...

    Model 3 mud guards

    Those are the same mudflaps every chinese seller sells on Amazon. Most are less than $19.99 That said, with the 3M tape and adhesive promoter seems like a good deal.

    If Tesla Needs a little cash, add Ludicrous mode to existing Model 3 Performance

    Pretty sure the P3D has PLENTY of room for more improvement if Tesla chooses to. The majority of the reason they don't is drivetrain and power electronics stress / warranty. Also the battery. But the inverter system has 24 90A mosfets so it is capable of more.

    Model 3 mud guards

    Even if they rub they're likely better than without. But securing them with some 3M tape would probably help. That said I'll probably get a small bit of 3M PPF film to put under the area they sit. Cut a small triangle. You can get a 12x12 piece for $10. Or 12x60 for $30...

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    Shipping containers are $1000 for a 20x10 and $1500 for a 40x10 from China. You could easily stuff 500-1000 of these in a shipping container so that adds like $1-2 Not saying anyone could realistically order these themselves but illustrating the margins TapTes is making for a thirty-dollar item.

    Black Dual Motor with Underline Badge

    There are stealth performance model 3s. They are performance model 3s without the 20" wheels or the red calipers. They are $7k cheaper than the full Performance version. I own one. $49,500 Black/Black.

    Model 3 mud guards

    I got these mud flaps for my black / black P3D-. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W6NZ25H I will probably install them tomorrow. They seem to be a new design and cover further back on the rocker panel:

    Official Thread: Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) Event - Nov 21, 2019

    Remember that CyberTruck can lower itself to a fairly low height, something other trucks can't do. It's possible at its lowest setting the lift-over height is less than a 2020 F-150. Newer trucks are ridiculously tall.
