    Things That Tesla Has Fixed

    Fixed "rainbow road". Before there was no way to cancel, mute, or turn volume down. You're stuck listening to some dumb song for a minute or two. Particularly bad because two stalk presses = FSD, which doesn't always take, and four stalks launches rainbow road. Now you can mute it.

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    Not to worry, some third party is going to come up with add-on stalks. Everyone is happy.

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    The yoke without variable steering ratio is a joke. Everyone mocks the removal of the stalks. The fact that such controversy even exists is a testament to their failure. Clearly, these are blunders made by engineers who overlooked human factors.

    California Window tint enforced?

    True, and ceramic makes a huge difference in blocking heat. If you don't wan't it to go darker, just use 70% ceramic tint on factory-tinted windows.

    California Window tint enforced?

    Depends on your interior color, as the white brightens up the tint one level. These are about equal: Black interior: 70% windshield, 50% sides White interior: 50% windshield, 35% sides I have white interior 50% windshield, 35% sides, 35% one piece rear, 50% sunroof, ceramic tint.

    Model 3 Center Cap (for 19" Sport Wheels)

    After M3 19" starfish hubcaps were stolen.. so easy to remove with one finger. Switched to the cap and lug nut covers. Amazon sells gun-metal caps and nut covers: Tesla Hub Center Cap (B09MF43NRL) and Traverse Tesla Nut Caps (B07MJCGB11) Tried one service center who refused to sell the S...

    Best tint % for rear window M3

    50% is easy to see out of. No issues at all. I did order the 70%, but by mistake they put on 50%. The shop offered a free redo - or just remove and refund. I got the refund, and drove it for a week and I liked it - then told them forget about the removal. It's not even that noticeable from the...

    Does anyone know what this connector is for?

    Maybe fog / runner lights. You could disconnect it and check what breaks.

    Best tint % for rear window M3

    Went ceramic tint, 50% windshield, 35% sides and one-piece back, 50% sunroof. Its a white interior which makes it look lighter than a black interior. The factory tint is not ceramic, so add a layer if you want better heat rejection. With 35% rear, you can see the gradient tint in the sunlight...

    Looks like someone tried to lever my front nearside window down

    Sure looks like someone was jamming a screwdriver between the glass and trim to pry the window down. Short scrapes on both glass and trim at irregular intervals, resemble a flat head screwdriver.

    California Window tint enforced?

    Rarely, if ever. I have never had issue with two cars for decades. And if you ever do get caught, you can just pay the small fix-it fine rather than take the tint off. If you have a white interior, the tint is like one level brighter. Example: For my white interior, i have 50% windshield, 35%...

    Wipers activating unexpectedly, even on a bright sunny day.

    This started happening to me, even though the windshield looked clean. I just cleaned the windshield manually with window cleaner and that fixed the problem.

    Exploding Passenger Side Mirror

    There are no explosives in the mirror. That's just impact damage. Could have been a rock, golf ball, or any other reasonably hard object. Just pay to fix it and move on. There is no conspiracy.
