    Sorry to bug you, but do you think you could send me a DCU referral link as well?

    FS: Model 3 Performance Pirelli P Zero 235/35R20 Tires (Set of 4)

    I'm looking to sell the set of 4 Pirelli P Zero 235/35R20 tires that came with my 2022 Model 3 Performance. The tires have 2,267 miles on them and are in excellent shape (see pictures). I'm asking $800. The tires have been sitting in my garage since they were removed in the fall of last year...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Hi again everyone! I just wanted to chime in one last time to say farewell and to offer some encouragement for all those still waiting. Hang in there, your time will come, and in retrospect, it won't seem like it was so long once you're driving your new cars. I just picked up my car from the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    That's correct. Global = matrix. The "matrix" term refers to the underlying grid of LEDs that serve as the light source. Kind of like the pixels on a plasma or OLED display. The design allows the beam pattern of the headlights to be reconfigured by turning individual elements of the underlying...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Awesome! Thank you for the link! I'll just tell the PPF shop to leave the badges off so I can replace them with these myself. Regarding the etsy option, since those are caps (from my understanding) they'd require the original badges to be in place so they can go over them. I'd prefer to just...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Thanks for the reassurance. On my car that the M3P is replacing, I only had PPF installed in the most vulnerable areas of the car, but this time around, based on what I've heard about Tesla paint durability, I figured I would just cover the whole car and never have to worry about swirl marks...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Not really related to the ordering process, but for those who are opting to have PPF installed on their car, my shop has told me that they will be removing all badges on my car (including the DUAL MOTOR, the red underline, and the hood/trunk T logos) in order to apply the PPF, after which the T...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Slippery in terms of the mat's resistance to moving around on the floor, or in terms of the amount of friction between the mat and your feet? If you meant the former, for me, the 3D Maxpiders have stayed put, but the car they're installed in has floor mat retention posts sticking up out of its...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I picked up my M3P with a build date of 05-05-22 and a VIN of 247XXX this past Friday and am happy to report that it has the matrix projector headlights.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    The wall connector is actually capable of slightly faster charging than the maximum output of the mobile connector when combined with the NEMA 14-50 plug, so there's a reasonable rationale for paying the extra money for the wall connector, assuming it's wired up to properly take advantage of...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Haha, honestly, I was so excited, I didn't even give the temporary plate more than a passing glance. My brain registered that it was there, but I had to look back at the photos just now to tell you when they expired. As for your adhesive issue, I'm sure isopropyl alcohol would be safe to use if...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    My understanding is that the M3P and LR no longer have different suspension anymore, so the lowered ride height and smaller fender gap of the M3P are a thing of the past.
