    Tire consideration for a leased M3P (OEM T0 vs. not ...)

    Ok. I found conflicting info on the uberturbine wheel width. Good to know!

    Tire consideration for a leased M3P (OEM T0 vs. not ...)

    I looked at the track pack and it appears that it comes with wider wheels (8.5 vs 9), so that might be an issue with the 245s. That would be the only thing I'd worry about.

    Replace stained white seat back?

    sounds like you are in the same situation as this guy: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/mistakes-made-anyone-have-an-idea-how-much-i-will-be-dinged-for-this-on-lease-return.301236/

    Tire consideration for a leased M3P (OEM T0 vs. not ...)

    I think they are mostly concerned about tread depth, speed and load range. The load range is a big one since these cars are so heavy. As you stated, the 245 is an oem size so that shouldn't be an issue. As long as they aren't some strange, weird brand I think you'll be fine. To ease your mind...

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    You can try hosing down the coils and filter box with Lysol spray. That sometimes works for me. Definitely check that your drain isn't clogged.

    Wheel Paint

    I bought a bottle of the zink paint to touch up my 18" wheels. It was a perfect match. The bottle is pretty small though.

    Mistakes made. Anyone have an idea how much I will be dinged for this on lease return?

    It doesn't work that way. A couple of months before the lease ends, you'll take a bunch of pictures and send them to the lease returns dept. They'll examine the pictures and send you an estimate. If you still have the damaged seat covers, you'll have to send them pictures of the damage so they...

    12V failing :(

    Is there a sc near you? When I got the 12v warnings I was told to swing by the sc and they'll replace it with no appointment. It took less than 20 minutes. They finished before our lunch was done.

    lose your keys to a normal car and you'll have to take it to a dealer to get new ones programmed. Same inconvenience.

    car wash time

    Ok, I'm going to have to try this next time. I always dry it with one of those super absorbent towels, but the ego would be way easier. If it works well, I might even splurge for one of their fancy car drying nozzles.

    Update 2023.7.10 removed ALL my keys

    Removing the need for a card to add a key seems like a bad idea. I'm sure there are a few cases where this is desirable, but it seems like a potential security issue for everyone else.

    Cabin Air Filter

    I agree 5 minutes is a stretch. I also just kneel on the ground outside the car. It can be done in 15 minutes, but that depends on how many of the little white clips end up falling into center console abyss. Removing the screw with a stubby ratcheting screwdriver handle and a short torx bit is...

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    Hang a tennis ball from a string tied to the garage ceiling. When the ball hits the windshield, stop. Works perfectly every time. :D

    Here is a pretty well done video showing park assist with both systems. That quicksilver y is gorgeous!

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    It can't ever be as good as the uss with the current camera placement. There is no way for the cameras to see what is hidden by the hood.

    Mistakes made. Anyone have an idea how much I will be dinged for this on lease return?

    Id offer to pay. Hopefully they would feel bad and give you a break. In stead of trying to clean it, how about dying it instead. Although I'd wait until just before I turned the car back in case it came back.

    Upgrading existing 14-50 outlet to Wall Connector

    You could mount the wall connector a little higher on the wall. I had left enough extra wire so I could mount the wall connector in the same spot.

    That didn't work for us. Every driver had to setup their profile again on our new car. This was back in March.

    SMS Irregularities receiving/reading texts

    I get the header too but I don't have fsd. Lately it has only been when my wife texts me (rcs) but I have gotten the header when an iphone user texted me in a group text. That hasn't happened in a while though.

    This harness does not effect updates. Are you on the advanced schedule, or whatever they call it?

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    My understanding is, if it doesn't show up in the release notes, then it isn't applicable to your car.

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    I looked and couldn't find anything either. I guess that is what you get for trusting things you read on the internet. :D Do you have visualizations turned on? Does park assist show up in the release notes?

    Mistakes made. Anyone have an idea how much I will be dinged for this on lease return?

    I'd try a magic eraser first. If that doesn't work I'd take it to a detailer and get their opinion. It should come out. Definitely get it taken care of before you submit your turn back pictures.

    Hansshow premium audio upgrade for 2023 M3SR

    Interesting. Learn something new every day. Good point about the premium system. I have a friend with a y and I don't think I noticed them in there. With my old car and original diy harness, they were very noticeable. I wasn't planning on ordering the harness for this car but now you guys...

    Hansshow premium audio upgrade for 2023 M3SR

    Which way did you wire them: in phase or out of phase? I played around with a phase tester app the when I added the harness to my lasucar but got confusing results. Rwaudio: it looks like you wired them out of phase. Correct?

    How far forward does the passenger seat back lean? Could you move the seat all the way forward and tilt it forward?

    Upgrading existing 14-50 outlet to Wall Connector

    Thanks for the quick responses. Is there any issue with the ground being solid? Iirc, the installation instructions say to use stranded wire. I'll probably put a 90 degree bend in the ground on the other side of the terminal just to keep it from being able to pull out.

    Upgrading existing 14-50 outlet to Wall Connector

    Sorry to revive an older thread but this seems like the best place to ask my question. I have a 14-50 that is wired with 6/3 with ground romex that I am replacing with a wall connector. For those of you who replaced their 14-50 outlet with a wall connector, what did you do with the white...

    Just follow the directions to enable homelink, but instead of enabling it, it will ask you if you want to disable it.
