3M™ Paint Protection Film PUL2012, 14 mil, Transparent | 3M United States

Later 6th gen Celicas had sideskirts (and from the factory a thick clear film as well I think) Photo by Gerald Galvez from How to install 96+ OEM Sideskirts on a 94-95 6gc - 6G Celicas Forums (1995 Celica didn't have them, 1998 did)

I like that it's available without air suspension :)

A 72 kW urban supercharger will be good if you want to charge slower (7 kW at home even better, C/10) When I get a 3, I plan to usually stay within 40 and 80%, and if the software allows it, daily topup to a fixed hibernation voltage level of about 3.8 V per cell (approx 60%) when I don't need...

A write protect option on the screen would be very good to stop the memory chip being worn too fast, or at least a write cycle display count to know what's happening to it year by year? (it might be that how you use the car might alter the rate of wear on the memory?) Hopefully Tesla have...

Hopefully the tow hitch receiver design for a bike rack or small trailer tow hitch receiver 2" 1.25" - Google Search

I only just saw that there are Chargeplace Scotland chargers as well, some with 50kW CCS: ChargePlace Scotland | Scotland's Public EV Charging Network UK Supercharger Site News

Thanks! There's already a few CCS shown, won't need a 400 mile battery after all :)

I've just ordered Lanoguard Marine and Chassis trigger spray - Lanolin based, similar to a thick fluid film? Maybe reapply before each winter (UK salted roads), and rinse off salt underneath every week or more with water. It will be interesting to see how easy it will be to get access, and...

I've had 2 years waiting for the Model 3 to read about batteries. Charging very high causes a "rollover" failure, a sudden failure after fewer cycles, even if the degradation has been slow so far (the parasitic reactions cause contamination which gradually builds up, eventually blocking the...

A few superchargers added at John o' Groats Scotland, Ullapool Scotland, and Penzance Cornwall would be very useful looking at the map (e.g. it's 148 miles from the nearest supercharger at Aviemore to John o' Groats, leaving no range to do a trip around the north of Scotland, unless stopping...

AFAIK for short trips, if you can daily topup to 60% this is good (parasitic reactions increase at higher soc, and oxidisation at high soc causes sudden capacity loss after fewer cycles when surface area is reduced by solids, even if gradual degradation so far has been low [37:00 in video] -- a...

And 7000 model 3 battery packs a week is / will be about 28 million 2170 cells a week!

Also beware dissimilar metals: tesla tow hitch corrosion - Google Search I'm keen to have a utility hitch on the Model 3 for a bike rack, hopefully Tesla will have their own option available?
