    Looking for Hansshow Power Trunk and Frunk installer around Seattle

    @m5james Do you have the detailed instructions Hansshow sent with your trunk-lift kit? I don't care to tear into any car -- let alone a Tesla -- without knowing the exact procedure to install the product and return the car to its original, unmolested appearance. Thanks!

    Seattle-area Hansshow Trunk-lift Installers?

    I traded a few email messages with Hansshow, but the messages from them stopped after I asked them to please attach the Excel file to which they had referred. Can I please ask if anyone here knows of installer approved by Hansshow doing business in the greater-Seattle area, or north of...

    Who has installed automatic trunk closing system for model 3

    Sorry about typos, but I did find a way of contacting Hansshow via a webmail link on their site. After confirming my desire to talk with an installer in the greater-Seattle area, the person said she would see if she could find an installer amenable to my request. I'm guessing no one else on...

    EAP/FSD Driving Visuaization? [rainbow road]

    Thanks, I didn't want to stop driving - even drove around the block after passing my home - because I didn't want Rainbow Road to end. I purchased EAP Tuesday, and am scheduled to have the NVIDIA GPU installed on 14 December. Again, thanks for the information about Rainbow Road!

    EAP/FSD Driving Visuaization? [rainbow road]

    Since this was my first post to YouTube, I didn't realize disabling embedding would create such a mess for users on this site. If anyone can tell me how I can change that setting on this video, I'd appreciate the advice, thanks!

    Who has installed automatic trunk closing system for model 3

    Regarding Nagnusen Moss, I wasn't enticed to buy my Tesla because of over-bold warrant promises. Please help me understand you point. And, "nope," there are no installers of powered Tesla trunk lids in Seattle, or "nope" what?

    Who has installed automatic trunk closing system for model 3

    FWIW, I've talked with Tesla reps about the powered liftgate installation, and was told any breaching of the wiring harness voids the vehicle's warranty. My warranty expires in a couple days, so I'll be interested if anyone knows of a Seattle-area installer, thanks!

    Cannot clean Model 3 windows for the life of me.

    How in the world do people reach lower than about midway down the inside of the windshield, while applying enough pressure to clean the inside of the windshield. I'm on my second Model 3, and my arms don't reach the bottom the windshield, even when my forehead bangs into the glass. My hope...

    daily battery charge rate recommended

    Boy, was I ever run through the ringer about a year ago when I mentioned Tesla's recommendation to "deep-cycle" the battery to improve BMS accuracy. More than one person commented that "...everyone knew that isn't true," or words to that effect.

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    In response to my message to the local Service Center that it had been more than three years since my car was originally purchased (not by me), and I had no service history, I requested brake system be flush, brakes be inspected and replaced if indicated, and brake calipers and guide-pins be...

    Aero Covers

    Thanks for your thoughts, and I'm with you on not liking the look of dark alloy wheels...on any vehicle. May I ask how you clean the Aero covers when they are removed? I know I don't want to lay them face-down on my brushed concrete driveway, but I don't have a clue how to thoroughly clean...

    Aero Covers

    So, what's the best way to thoroughly clean the Aero covers once you have removed them? Thanks!
