I also have a peeling steering wheel with my M3 with only 60K miles on it. Tesla gave me an estimate of $1k. I'm now researching how to approach this with Tesla as I've never seen a car do this even when they're decades old economy cars. This poor quality is unacceptable.

I just want to say I appreciate the pictures and discussions here for this much awaited location. I wonder if the contractors have an ETA for this.

I noticed that it's easier for pine needles to get past the window guides than some other cars. It seems the guides are not as tight against the side windows. Can this be a problem if pine needles accumulate into the door?

Just a little disappointed with Tesla for charging for an OTA speed boost.

Foil Tape is a good idea. I taped mine up with aluminum tape prior to taking it in and replace it. Like someone said, they should have an aluminum bar that bridges between the floor pan and the fabric to strengthen.

Tesla claimed that my tear was from an External Influence. I ended up paying for a new one that seem just a little more rigid. I doubt it can stand up to normal rainy driving. There has to be a consumer protection law or Class Action lawsuit against Tesla on this.

My M3 is at Seattle SODO Service Center and they're not treating this undercarriage wool blanket tear as a warranty repair and wants $200. Obviously a design flaw that Tesla is ignoring. Where next to get them to do the right thing?

I just discovered this undercarriage fabric tear yesterday. Have you guys heard any updates from Tesla to fix the flaw of chosen material? I wouldn't even use this fabric to line a trunk interior nevertheless have it exposed to the harsh elements via the undercarriage. Tesla Model 3...

Thanks. Are you also using the OEM 19" rims?

For those that have 265/35R19 in the front (M3), does it rub against the fender during tight turns or heavy loads?

It seems like a no-brainer for these towns; have a captive audience that can spend money while waiting for the electron fill-up.

Have anyone heard updates from Osoyoos, Okanagan, and Chelan on the superchargers?

Ok, I confirmed it. If the frunk is closed, the light turns off after 5 minutes exactly. This is whether you drive or just sit in the car. Again, thanks for the great mod idea!!!

It's wired like yours. I just didn't wait for the 15 minutes for it to timeout and turn off (only waited for a minute - which is the problem). I just assumed it would turn off with the frunk closed. Do you think it's on while driving?
