    Anyone done this to your Model 3??

    Met him to at a couple other local shows myself. Very nice guy! Small world. Here is a couple more pics. I'm also surprised we haven't seen more pics of it on here.

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    Try to do something to block the foam from going back up the intake. It will take the path of least resistance. 👍👍

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    In regards to this part, I thought the same thing and tried some temporary pieces of cardboard placed in the filter locations to force more foam into and hopefully through the evaporator. Worth a try. It took 2 yrs for my first smell to appear but after Klima (1 can) with the cardboard I'm going...

    Help identifying a part: Grey Rubber Grommet

    Good point, that's definitely a possibility. Something to check and verify. I hope that would not be the case but unfortunately we all know about the reputation of some service centers. There is a few bolts that also hold them on so I don't think they will fall off but missing clips could cause...

    Help identifying a part: Grey Rubber Grommet

    Since they had your rocker covers off to paint, it looks like part of the clips that are used to hold the rocker panels up to the car. There are some metal clips that go over the rubber pieces. Here is a pic of them installed on the rocker covers before they are installed. I had mine off to...

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    Good find and great info, thanks. Now we wait for availability...lol. You would think they would transition fast into production and be available soon after. Either way I'm good for a while, just had mine replaced under warranty at 36k and still have my other sets ready to go with the...

    Anyone using a QuickJack

    The boards work great for clearance with the 3 and the side skirts. I didn't have luck with rollers either. But I did install a couple of cheap handles that really help moving them alor. And some tri-roller dollys that I use to roll them around until its about halfway under the car, then remove...

    Tesla denied warranty for Upper control arms because of Aftermarket Suspension

    Wow, did this really turn into a debate about oil on a TESLA forum? On a topic about upper control arm warranties.... Wait don't answer that. Someone will write a 7 paragraph article on how its relevant and related.. Dont get offended now, just pointing out the hilarious twist on how the topic...

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    Lots of pictures available of the front side of the evaporator and the drain. Just not much available of the back side of the evaporator due to access. I posted some on page 8 of this thread. Here is some more....

    Can any shop do wheel alignment

    As noted above, Is this specialized equipment used by Tesla? Yes. That said, is this equipment required to do an alignment at a non-tesla shop? No. But this also depends on the shop and their capabilities and who your askjng (we know what teslas answer is). As you said, "any qualified shop"...

    Tesla denied warranty for Upper control arms because of Aftermarket Suspension

    I wonder if they (tesla) are coming out with a newer version yet again. Even amazon had them for a while. I see multiple companies overseas showing them on websites. Skeptical myself until something is proven. Now back to your regular programming...ding ding...
