    SiriusXM - can use a favor …

    Sirius changed their channel lineup a few weeks ago. 60's on six is now 60's gold and I believe it is on channel 73. People like me who listen to the 60's are too old to have the station at that end of the dial.

    Update 2021.32.22 bricked my LEMR [not related to update -12v battery failed during update]

    Had some goofy problems yesterday after the low voltage battery was replaced. The car had four warning messages that came up about the low voltage battery needing replacement. Made an appointment at the nearest service center (that could do it next day) and they replaced the battery. Service...

    Gemini wheels without the Aero Covers. Center cap removal advice.

    I have found that a suction cup mount for a Garmin GPS (other brands make work too) will remove the center cap. Just center the suction cup on the cap, flip the lever which will apply additional suction and pull. Off it comes.

    Plaid+ CANCELLED

    If Elon thinks that the Plaid is so good that there doesn't need to be a + model, I would suggest he reads a poem by Edgar Guest entitled "Good Enough". Maybe he can get his thought process back in line---Tesla is supposed to be a leader, not just good enough

    Question: Weight of Model 3 OEM 18" Rims

    Just weight my spare tire (which is the OEM spec Michelin on the 18" Tesla rim). It came in at 46.8 pounds.

    Will My New Model 3 Be Worth The Same As A Honda Civic In 6 Years?

    You also have to take into account the earlier 3's with the full Federal tax credit available. That immediately changes the resale value by the amount of the tax credit. Your out of pocket expense for the car (assuming you can use the full credit) is much lower than what you paid for it. Now...

    Paint Damage - What would do this to a car?

    Has anyone thought that someone might have dropped an egg on the hood out of spite? Just looking at the circular spot and the run of material down the hood it might look something like that. If you let an egg sit on the paint long enough, it will eat the clearcoat and finally the basecoat...

    Turn signal assembly attachment

    For a long time I have noticed the right turn signal lens doesn't fit nearly as well as the left in the bumper cover. Today I applied some pressure and found that the end of the assembly toward the center of the car is loose and you can press it in with very little force. The left side is...

    Model 3 has no spare tire

    I recently put together a spare tire for my Model 3 with 18's on it. I bought a new take off wheel and a TPMS sensor from E-Bay. I was surprised about how difficult the tire was to get. I had originally contacted the Tesla service center about purchasing a spare but I only got a recorded...

    Aero Wheel Paint Color

    I have a model 3 with the standard 18" Wheels. Having already found the color on this forum for the front side of the wheel (Ford Dark Shadow Gray) which is a perfect match, I need to find what the color is for the darker metallic black used in the barrel of the wheel. I bought a spare rim and...

    Dog mode for my bunnies?

    Should be fine. While you are on the screen to enable the "dog mode" make sure you press the little grey (or blue) icon in the lower right side of the screen to turn on the rear AC vents (on the back of the console). That will get plenty of airflow into the back end of the car.

    Sunk-in hood

    The only thing that the Frunk liner has to do with hood fit is that the front edge of the liner is used for the rubber hood adjusters to rest against. Make sure the liner is fully pushed into the clips on each fender. Rest the liner on the inserts in the fender and using a flashlight, make...

    How long to activate the "new autpoilot" on existing car?

    Just pulled up my account for my model 3 and it now reflects the 2k/3k pricing for autopilot and FSD. Clicking the FSD button (I don't have autopilot) clicks both buttons and proceed to checkout. It used my card on file and they debited it for $5,325 (including sales taxes). It now says the...

    How long to activate the "new autpoilot" on existing car?

    Actually, the "new" price doesn't occur until April 1st. I read the information as released by Tesla on March 1st and it said "next month" you would be able to get the new pricing. That would be April. I called Tesla support tonight and they confirmed the new price will be set April 1st but...

    Sunk-in hood

    Try raising (screw out) the passenger side hood bumper and lowering (screw in) the drivers side. Try one turn on each and see what it looks like. The hood is held down in the center near the Tesla "T" and the two bumpers on the hood adjust any twist in the hood. Once you get it even on both...
