    Time for New Tires on my 2018 Model 3 Performance 235/35R20 Recommendations Please

    So its time to replace the Pilot 4S. They have been pretty good but it is time. I dont have to worry about winter any longer now that I am in FL. I have seen a few other options that some folks on my Tesla FB group like and they are less than 1/2! One was Falken Azenis FK510 or Falken Azenis...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Right there with ya! I dont not treat this vehicle as a prius and it is not IMO designed for a long range driver. Battery tech is not there yet. A battery rated for 600 miles...that would actually get closer to 460 miles would be ideal as long as it chargers under an hour you have a more...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    But it only affects the acceleration, I am talking about a complete approach, tells you what is your optimum cruising speed, in-car temperature and so on. I've seen chill and use it when my wife drives it...LOL! Honestly they could really make a few modes that would fit your driving...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    IMO, they should have a range mode and a sport mode setting. Range, dumb down the acceleration, change the ac/heating to a few degrees higher or lower (depending on the year), show you what is the ideal cruising speed and just optimize across the board....as for sport...everything on...period!

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Lots of factors. When the weather is below 45 degrees F it starts to take a hit on range. These cars in my opinion are not ideal in cold climates...just the way lithium is. Wheel house for good mileage is between 50-80 degrees F out. Northern California and west coast weather this car...

    ONR vs Aero Cosmetics

    Anyone use either or even both? I have McKee 914 and I think it is just ok. I have the ratios measured right just doesnt leave the paint slick and I am not overly confident it is doing that great of a job. I did just grab a bottle of Wolfgangs Uber as it came heavily recommended. ONR is the...

    It’s time for PPF

    I usually clay once a year, after the harsh winter in Chicago.paint looks like hell. I use a Nanoskin Autoscrub mitt. Having a Metallic White finish I have tons of orange spots known has rail dust. You can do a chemical decontamination which is essentially does the same with a product like...

    It’s time for PPF

    I’m getting ready to get some PPF put on. I have a metallic white M3 so yellowing will show sooner on this color then others. I have a few choices. Llumar platinum vs XPEL ultimate plus. Llumar is the newer film and my shop likes it a lot. Wondering what you guys think and what your experience...

    Pics of your M3 modded

    Looking for pics of what you guys have done to your Model 3. I have a white P3D+ and I need ideas of what to do it next. I have tinted the windows so far and want to Chrome delete. Then finish with powder coating the wheels satin black. I am going to do the badges in red as well. Let me...

    Prestige Photosync IRD...anyone have this tint?

    So just found out my installer has Photosync IRD and it goes down to 30%...which I like. I have never seen it. I did notice that regular photosync in a 35% looks a little green on a white M3. I was about to do 30% Prime IR Plus all around and 75% Photosync on the Windshield. Now that I found IRD...

    Stratos vs Photosync Tints

    clarity wise which one do you like better? Having both which one is your favorite and why? Can you tell which one has better heat reduction. And finally which one looks darker?

    Stratos vs Photosync Tints

    Thats what I thought, what I am wondering is how dark they are compared to lets say XPEL Prime XR Plus? XR Plus doesnt have the high heat reduction and I am not certain on the color for I dont like the look of tints that look or lean towards the bluish side...are the Photosyncs bluish or more...

    Stratos vs Photosync Tints

    Im considering doing Prime XR Plus on the Side and Rear in a 30% and Photosync 75 on the Windshield. I am still pretty torn on this, need to figure it out before my appointment on Friday. My issue with Photosync is 35% doesnt look that dark and that is the darkest they have. 35% XR Plus is...

    Model 3 Window Tints and Clear bra in Southern California recommendations?

    Wow! Like the white handles! Who makes your tints? And I can’t tell what powder coat finish or color you went with on the wheels. I am doing my P3D+ the same with the exception of the Tesla badges are gonna be red like the brakes. Let me know, your car looks beautiful!

    Who's tinted their windows?

    Help me understand these numbers better for I am on the same fence with xpel xr plus and photosync. However I would do 35 all around and 70 or 75 on the windshield. Which one do you like better. $150 separates the price between the two. Not much in my opinion. 700 (xr plus) vs 850 (photosync)

    Bad Quality Paint Job

    Neither, she typed it up on her iPad and walked around the vehicle with me. There was one other personal that is a tesla volunteer owner helping on deliveries. They delivered 100 vehicles the day I picked up. Crazy!!

    Bad Quality Paint Job

    I did and they supposedly documented.

    Bad Quality Paint Job

    I guess this is a typical compliant, as with mine the orange peel effect is pretty bad. Will PPF cover this up? Or do I push the service center to fix it/repaint? Its pretty bad.

    Who's tinted their windows?

    Thanks! Do they sell the MSM? The silver wasnt available when I bought my P3D+ so I do the white. I love the color of the Metallic white but the paint job is absolutely horrible!!

    Vendor New Window Tint Blocks 98% Infrared Heat by XPEL

    Does the XR Plus experience the rainbow effect when look thru with polarized sunglasses on? Photosync has this issue. Let me know I am on the fence about XR Plus and Photosync. TSER is really one of the factors, color and clarity are as well. I dont want to see grain. One thing I didnt like...

    Stratos vs Photosync Tints

    Really looks nice!! I got a quote today for 700 for Xpel Prime XR Plus. I think its very good and the color looks excellent! The heat rejection is solid, Im not sure it is as good as Photosync but probably more on par with Stratos. It seems to me that Photosync isnt as dark at 35% as say XR...

    Stratos vs Photosync Tints

    I live in Hawthorn woods, I'm in Iowa this coming week taking the 3 there. First long trip so I am a hair nervous. When I get back lets definitely get together. I am looking at Auto Image to do the Photosync. Jeff is an awesome guy and I believe he is very honest. Chicago Auto Pros was the...

    Stratos vs Photosync Tints

    First post so forgive me if this has been asked. I did do a brief search for this topic/comparison but didnt find anything. I am looking at both. I leave in IL so we are limited by the long arm of the law and what levels we can tint. I can legally do 35% on the sides and rear and nothing on...
