Switched power. It stays active after you leave the car but after a few minutes, power shuts off. Perfect for radar. 5 years later and no issues.

If you've ever taken apart any area of a Model 3 you might notice that over time Tesla actually reduces some parts to save money. An example is the inside trim panel for the trunk lid. The later cars actually have fewer retaining clips than the older cars as they figured they could save a couple...

Was the empirical data measured by calibrated butt dyno?

@ebradway, did you manually set your camera to use identical exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, iso, etc) for all the photos? Pictures can be deceiving as most camera adjust for the exposure so if the tint is darker, it will let more light in. Even using darker tint (for example 35%)...

Very true about you don't know what you don't know. I'm guessing you are right about noticing some improvement with MPP Comfort coilovers but the question each person needs to ask themselves is whether the ride quality difference is worth the money. For sure some say yes and some may say no...

Very unlikely to be the springs. Upper control arm bushings maybe?

Not the best picture but here you go. I snapped this shortly after my side-skirts were installed.

I've never had those issues you mentioned with my shocks so maybe I lucked out. I also have never felt my bump stops prematurely recruited. I guess it also depends on the roads one drives on plus individual driving styles. Bottomline for me after years with springs only is that I've never felt...

I have a 2018 LR RWD as well with Eibach springs and running for about 4 years. The UP springs are known to have noise issues and probably the only on your list above with plastic noise isolators. TSportline springs seem to be fine but I think Eibach ride a hair lower. H&R seem to ride even...

I was so hopeful for the tiny little wiper! lol

Interestingly, I found a YT video from 2014 for a brace for a Honda S2000. The design is different for obvious reasons but the idea is the same: CNC'd aluminum in a shape that has some nearby anchor points (in this case the top of the strut tower) and an adjustable stop resting against the...

Looks like there's even more choices now for master cylinder braces. Credit to MPP for being first to market with a solution for the Model 3 but also agree with @Black306 that master cylinder braces are not a unique concept/idea. Just like anti sway bars were not a new concept for the Model 3...

You are right. My moment of dyslexia. It makes more sense to put the switch on the positive.

Between the 2 options, I'd do the switch. An alternative to an actual switch is a bullet type connector and simply unplug them. That is what I did for different reasons than you. Tesla gave me a bit of grief about the various things I had hooked up when I was getting warranty service. They told...

Without the ICE vibration and noise, these should work extremely well on an EV! The only problem is figuring out how many sets I need to cover the entire front. 🤔

It's good to see a few have good truthful results with Hansshow but the sheer volume of negative feedback is telling. I personally have had terrible experiences on more than one occasion. Even with the significant complaints about their products and lack of service when hardware needs...

A front bumper camera would be such a welcome feature. Pulling up to parking lot dividers is such a guessing game and worse for those who are lowered and/or have front lip spoilers. Post a pic!

Thought I read somewhere that there are more differences between the current Model 3 and the Highland Model 3 than there is between current 3 and Y. Maybe the 3 and Y are the same car? Kidding of course. Joking aside, I don't think the Highland was supposed to be a different car but rather a...

Mileage could play a factor. I misread your previous note and thought you were doing 6300 miles annually. I live in a pretty rainy climate but my car is usually garage kept so it doesn't get overly soaked. As for Sentry mode, it's always running in my car other than when it's in my garage at...

My car is a 2018 and I do about 6,200 miles per year - almost identical to you. I've had my EVOffer frunk kit for 3 years and I have a lot of other electrical mods like liftgate kit, front display cluster, rear screen, hard-wired radar, frunk lighting, underseat ambient lighting, and a couple...

I had to do a double take as well. Definitely not chrome though...

One would think they would continue it. If the drivetrain is the same there's no reason not to offer an easy-money option...it's pure gravy for Tesla. I know it's wishful thinking but every software upgrade (EAP, FSD, Acceleration boost) should come with the option for owners to transfer it if...

Mine is a 2018 and when I mentioned this issue the tech said that when I bought the car, the cameras were not meant for dashcam, lane change viewing, etc and therefore never designed with those purposes in mind. That was their standard reply to say they are not covered. However, I lucked out and...

Most people look at these frunk kits as simply hardware and forget that it also needs software to operate it. The only company that I am aware of that is always on top of the software side is EVOffer - the same kit mentioned by @WNC-MY above. On the hardware side, things vary as well and there...

Hansshow is usually reasonably responsive if they believe they can fix your issue without any hardware replacement (ie., no cost to them other than time). The fact they've ghosted you likely means they believe it's a hardware issue and they don't want to incur any costs to replace it.

@BlkDragon, sorry to hear about your experience. I too have only ever filed a chargeback one time and guess who it was against? It's amazing that companies with just a poor track record manage to stay in business. The Teslogic is supercool - just wish there was some super-integrated way of...

This is the true test:

Most motorcycles also have front and rear brake controls separated where front brake is operated by the right hand and rear brake right foot. Then transmission selection is left foot. People that ride motorcycles adapt to this but I wouldn't want to replicate these controls on a car. Apples and...

If you're remotely interested in a harness, contact the guys at EVOffer. At least they have a history of paying attention to Tesla's updates and looking at solutions where needed. They will more than likely have an answer of whether their own harness works with the recent update.

Just took this screenshot from HS website. Note part I highlighted.

@Durzel, sorry to hear about your troubles. My frunk gets used quite a bit and so far, knock on wood, no issues at all. I dread the day something happens. I'm glad that at some point they were willing to give you a replacement part. Although I live in a city with a significant amount of rain, I...

Excellent work!

btw, what sub are you driving with your JL?

Never heard of that brand. Is it a no-name? These cars are so finicky with certain amps so unless it's been tested by multiple Tesla owners I'd be reluctant. I have seen some have success with NVX amps and they do know the Tesla cars as they have some Tesla specific applications. Looking at...

The other variance between comparing a Lexus to a Tesla is that with the Lexus, it will likley be sold to a wholesaler so the value is determined by what the wholesaler is willing to pay. Whereas with a trade-in Tesla, it will likely be sold by Tesla and with the high turnover of new cars they...

Bottomline is Tesla cares about their bottomline...pun intended. Taking a trade-in means reconditioning, sticking it in inventory, taking up real estate space, paying people to sell them, and after all that they want to make a profit. For me, I'd probably be unwilling to give up that difference...

When my car was under a year old and maybe at about 10,000 miles my suspension sounded like old wooden floor boards. I was told it wasn't under warranty and given a response that it was a recommended annual maintenance item where all suspension bolts had to be retorqued. I took a diplomatic...

;)

Look at the photo above. You have to slowly close your frunk to see if it lines up. Should be centered. If slightly off to one side (as in the picture) it doesn't really impact manual closing but if you install the kit, it is much more reliable to center everything.

I bought a rear screen for my 3 from Tlyard. I experienced some problems and they were super responsive and provided great after-sales service. Power frunk kits are a pain to install in the Y mostly due to the location of the strut but this really doesn't have to do with the brand of kit but...

I had that mini screen and it worked well with very integrated look. Unfortunately, it was very poorly built and the display popped out of the housing. Others have reported the same issue. Lasted me a month and it had to be tossed in the garbage. Hansshow said they would happily refund me if I...

Mine worked reasonably well and didn't have any of the issues you report. However, mine physically came apart due to poor assembly quality. Who did you buy from and have you contacted them for help?

Hope they don't "wrecktify" anything else.

Thanks for sharing @PauliePucks. Hopefully they get that all sorted out. I still find this "v2" version a bit too tall so the proportions look a bit odd. Also, not crazy that the screen is a rectangle leaving an uneven black bezel. Ideally, they take the v1 proportions, have a screen with even...

Update: I did get a response from T-Sportline with a new update file. There are some definite improvements. For starters, the color selection of the car is now manually selectable and they actually included unicorn silver - this is a welcome change as the blue car on the screen just didn't look...

or HEPA cabin filter? 🙏

If you can wait, hold off until the official details are out. Then you can decide to buy an existing model if you don't like the revised car.

Let us know how you make out.

Fitment will be perfect but my concern is taking extra fabric to cover up the original which will dampen the way the airbag deploys in an emergency. The relief channels where the airbag cover is designed to break will now have to force it's way through an additional layer of shear resistance...
