    Model 3 Mud Flaps

    Thanks I'll definitely share pictures and thoughts on both types of mud flaps that I have coming in. As for the Taptes rubbing on paint, I will either use 3M automotive tape (if it's a wide enough gap) or 3M Paint Protection Film (if it's butting up against the body) to put as a layer between...

    Model 3 Mud Flaps

    It looks like he had to drill in to the wheel well plastic liner. Taptes claims no drilling required so if this is how the Taptes works, I'm not going to be too happy about that bit of false advertising. Yeah, I get it that it's only through plastic and not through sheet metal that can rust...

    Model 3 Radar Detector Hardwire

    Just adding to this thread for other readers who may search for this in the future - newer Model 3's (mine has a June '19 Build date) have the spare connector in the driver kick panel already used (referenced by Ingineer's videos). This actually makes the job easier as you can now just tap into...

    Model 3 Mud Flaps

    the Taptes claims no drilling required so I’ll report back this week when I receive them.

    Model 3 Mud Flaps

    Mine arrived at JFK 4 days ago awaiting customs release. I’ll probably use some 3M Automotive tape between the flaps and the paint. Pictures later this week I hope. I also ordered the flat ones through your group buy and will decide which set I like better and sell the other set or keep as a...

    Vendor Open Source DIY Model 3 Console Wrap Template

    As much as I'd love to get the Matrix to match the Matrix on my dash and console, I'm afraid this is going to be too big a job for me and I tend to be anal about this stuff so if it's not perfect, I'll rip it off and waste money. Gonna hold off and see how easy or hard it is for the rest of you...

    Discounts on inventory cars?

    Mine had 272 miles on it from a combination of test drives and transferring it across the state from another store. They gave me 25 cents a mile. I suspect they would have given me more if it was there longer, but they had just got it (June build, July delivery).

    Tesla Account Completing for delivery

    Call or email your sales specialist and let them know you can’t provide pre-delivery info on the site. They’ll take care of it.

    Tesla Account Completing for delivery

    You’re logging into the website and not the app, yes? If so, call your sales specialist. Mine had to do something on his side before I could upload all my info to the Tesla site. If you don’t do it, I’m sure you can provide it at delivery but it helps to save some time.

    TapTes molded mud guards

    Just apply some vinyl wrap or other automotive tape product there. This community is already knee deep in vinyl wrap on consoles, dashboards, steering wheels, charger ports, chrome trim...

    Pressure Washer Choice

    I use the lowest pressure one. Just stay a foot away from the car and avoid direct shots into the window seals.

    Pressure Washer Choice

    https://www.amazon.com/Simpson-Cleaning-MSH3125-S-Pressure-Technologies/dp/B004MXKUCY I had a 2300 psi electric one before but it died on me. I feel dirty using a gas powered washer on an electric car but it definitely works. All my other garden tools are electric (mower, blower, edger, chain...

    Emergency System Alert Sound - Yikes!

    You sure it wasn’t the emergency broadcast alert from your phone? It transmits it on the car. I had several flash flood alerts yesterday while driving.

    "Group buy opportunity" for reasonably priced Mud Flaps (Model 3)

    The group buy ended on Friday, but it's still in its introductory pricing if you're interested in that.

    Driver side window not working correctly post tint

    Might want to inform your tint shop about that procedure so they can advise another Tesla owner if it should happen again.
