I've used this for chips/cracks on plenty of cars to fix/prevent further spread. Your chips won't necessarily spider out and turn into cracks but there is the possibility. Definitely worth the $10 and 15 minutes as opposed to potentially buying a new $1,200 windshield...

The Tesla certified body/paint shop in my city uses the exact kit you can find on the Tesla website. Unless you know where the chip was and look really closely, you can't tell that the paint was touched up or chipped in the first place. I haven't personally used it, but I have seen the results...

I have a MSM 3 and got full front Xpel PPF the day after I received the car (12/2019) because of advice from other Tesla owners. It was around $2k and was the thicker, 10 mil wrap from Xpel. Yes, it is self healing with scratches but the damage you get on the front of the car isn't from...

In my experience, yes.

I'll get a new Tesla the day after 4680 cells are in the packs and the paint process is upgraded to match that of other luxury brands (aka not located in California).

onlyusedtesla.com Website will also help you price your car if you filter by sold vehicles that match your trim/miles/etc.

Any issues with the cups scratching the trunk?

I've had my chrome delete for 17 months now - professionally installed for $600, 3M vinyl. As long as you aren't directly pressure washing it or picking at it, you should be fine. I do drive thru touchless washes weekly and high pressure washes once or twice a month. There's more chance of you...

I live down the road in Richmond and have had no issues with snow/ice/cold with my stock Michelin PS4s over the past two winters. With the few times we get "real" winter weather, I can't warrant buying winter/all-season tires.

I can't remember exactly, but want to say it was $450 for sides and back. That also included an upcharge because 1) They don't keep 20% readily in stock and 2) they bought a "special" wider roll so that they could do the back glass in one piece. You are correct, I have Prime XR, not Prime XR...

I had a similar noise back in December. In the video below you can hear the final 7 seconds of it (lasted about a minute). It sounds a lot like yours the first couple of seconds before it spools down. Took it to the Service Center and they replaced my condenser (free, warranty). Not sure why...

5% is limo tint (as dark as you can get). The percentage is how much light is permitted through the tint. 80% would be very close to completely transparent.

I would caution you to look at some photos of the tint you want in direct light. The 80% tint in the overcast weather above looks like my 20% on a sunny day. Additionally, the tint you want on your 3 is going to look a lot lighter than on other cars because the glass roof lets in a lot of...

A 3 LR will beat YOUR 7 year old P85D. And a 3 LR with the Acceleration Boost option (I'll wait while you Google that) will walk it regardless the conditions. Race against a M3P wouldn't even be fun for either party. Battery degradation alone, your car isn't near as fast as it was when new and...

Does someone else want to tell him how even a Model 3 LR will smoke his P85D or should I? Also, more fun to drive? I know it's a matter of opinion but most reviews conclude that the S handles like a boat compared to the 3 (especially a 2014 model)... Your question could have been easily Googled...
