    Changing Interior Trim

    Was this oem Tesla part swapped at a service center or after market?

    LR AWD to P3D: Initial thoughts

    Yeah exactly. I think you're right that Tesla should offer some performance parts like sway bars, better suspension, different wheels, etc. I'm hoping as the car evolves, features get unlocked. Its already unbelievable that initially the Performance was rate 3.5 seconds from 0-60 and they shaved...

    LR AWD to P3D: Initial thoughts

    Visually the Performance has the spoiler, bigger brakes, and bigger wheels. To me, the 20" wheels suits the Model 3 much better than the 19s and closes the wheel gap a bit (although I really do think all Model 3s need a drop to be proportional). Functionally, It’s noticeable in the initial...

    Just ordered a Model 3 Performance- former demo car

    Awesome!!!! Really excited for you. You’ll be blown away how much fun it is to drive. FWIW I’ve always thought the Tesla red multi coat paint is one of the nicest red colored cars out there

    Homelink Garage Door Opening no longer included with Premium Interior Package

    Yeah there wasn't any mention of it being discontinued on the Tesla website so I expected it to be included.

    Has Anyone Tried Bead Maker?

    I think that's partially the magic of BM is the economical price and how it feels on the paint (or the PPF). It has a different feel than other sealants and sprays. For context, after every wash, I use BM as a drying aid, and its really just a couple of spritz per panel and a wipe. Its so fast...

    LR AWD to P3D: Initial thoughts

    I actually did the same trade-in. I owned a LR AWD for about 6 months and every day I kept dreaming of the M3P+. I finally bit the bullet and traded in my LR AWD (similar setup to the OP's: Pearl White but with 19s) and haven't regretted getting the Performance. I could see first hand that...

    Homelink Garage Door Opening no longer included with Premium Interior Package

    This makes me super sad that Homelink isn't standard and I was super confused when I traded in a 100xxx VIN with Homelink installed to a 408xxx VIN. I seriously was looking for the Homelink button for 30 minutes and scheduled an SC visit until I checked the forums...

    Got M3P, 4XXK VIN, some build issues. Need advice

    Hi @Oreo100 I had all these issues and they were all fixable: The bubbles in the seals are super common. The SC was able to fix this for me in 15mins The SC was also able to align the headlights better. This is super common on all Model 3s, I think its the way the body panels are molded. The...

    Has Anyone Tried Bead Maker?

    Not sure if many of you follow Pan the Organizer or use any of the Rag Company's stuff, but he has a pretty fun response to trying it for the first time:

    Has Anyone Tried Bead Maker?

    Yes completely. I have full PPF and use beadmaker as a topper and works great. Has been my favorite spray sealant so far (and I have tried a variety of gloss enhancers, sealants and Sio2 sprays).

    WTB: Model 3 Factory Performance Package Spoiler

    That's a bummer! I'd still like the Tesla factory one. All the aftermarket one's don't look as refined as the one in the marketing photos.
