    Removing scratches in trunk plastic trim

    I had some ski poles in the trunk that ended up scratching up the plastic trim. Does anyone have advice on how to remove or minimize these? I've read about using a heat gun to smooth them out but would like to try a less invasive option first.

    New models now include trim pieces under frunk lid for wind noise reduction/deflection(?)

    I just saw a post from a German Instagram account that shows that on newer models (post was from 11/5/21) trim pieces have been added under the trunk lid, closest to the windshield to help reduce wind turbulence noise. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else nor have I seen any noise...

    Discussion: Updated Range and 0-60 times for Model 3 and Y

    Just noticed that the range and 0-60 times have been updated for the 3/Y on the design studio. I'm guessing the SR updates are due to LFP pack and the others look like they are updated to reflect true (more accurate EPA rated) range with selected wheels. Previous Range/ 0-60 Updated Range/...

    Delayed delivery experience (due to being unavailable during delivery window)

    I wanted to share my experience with delaying my delivery after receiving a VIN since I've seen lots of conflicting details about possible outcomes. Hopefully, this will help people who find themselves in the same situation. I had been worried that after nearly 100 days, my delivery window...

    How is Tesla calculating sales tax and RTA tax?

    Does anyone know what numbers/subtotals are being used for Sales Tax and RTA calculations? I'm sensitive to this as my 2018 Model 3 had it's MSRP incorrectly reported to DoL resulting in a MUCH higher RTA fee that I've spent the last 2 years unsuccessfully trying to correct. To clarify, I'm not...

    Model S interior refresh features that will make it into 3/Y

    The Model S interior refresh features/pics were finally released and I'm hoping some of these trickle down into us lowly 3/Y owner's cars. It looks like they've addressed most of the Model S interior shortfalls and built on what 3/Y have done right. Which features do you want to make it into 3/Y...

    Redesign? New frunk, headlights and power trunk?

    Can anyone confirm these new design's that some are reporting? Any additional pics or details for those who have just taken delivery? It does seem that there has been confirmation of new (smaller footprint, deeper) frunk design as of 8/8/2020. There seems to be some speculation on why this has...

    Informal Warranty Rules

    I've realized Tesla has many informal warranty rules that they may share with you when you go in for service but are largely unknown to many owners until it impacts them. Thought I'd start a list of a few I've learned that will hopefully help new owners: Rattles, squeaks, vibrations are only...

    Add V2 supercharging power sharing in car warning

    Admittedly, this is becoming a less relevant issue with the advent of V3 chargers that no longer share power but I often notice at V2 superchargers, that people do not know that power is shared between charger stalls. I’ll often be parked at 1A while another is parked at 2B. Clearly, whoever...

    Current real world 0-60 times vs. advertised for all models

    I've seen tons of threads with different reported 0-60 times for different versions of the Model 3. There are discrepancies between: advertised real world w/o rollout real world w/ rollout post 5% power bump v1 post 5% power bump v2 acceleration boost upgrade I'd like to capture the...

    Learnings/Feedback from completed Car Camping Roadrip

    I just completed a 1300 mile roadtrip from Seattle to the Olympics, Washington Coast, Oregon Coast and up through central Oregon and it was a great experience. My wife and I car-camped almost every night and while the experience was generally painless we learned some interesting things from our...

    Tesla reduced price by $2k for M3, $5k for S/X

    Tesla just reduced M3 prices by $2k SR+: $37,990 LR AWD: $46,990 M3P: $54,990 They've also reduced S/X prices by $5k As a current owner looking to possible trade-in for Model Y it sucks but kind of expected this to happen and there are bigger economic trends at work right now anyways

    Standard Range in inventory

    Just wanted to share since this is the first time I’ve ever seen and standard range rwd posted in inventory. This is not SR+. I was hoping they would share the official 0-60 and range numbers but they’ve omitted it on the page. I assume it’s still 220mi but with the SR+ bump from 240 to 250 I...

    Alcantara steering wheel cover recommendations

    My wife has been driving the car more often and it seems like her ring has caused a few scratches in the leather steering wheel. I don’t want to buy a tacky looking steering wheel cover but I’ve seen a few on Instagram that look to be alcantara and are stitched on so they look very oem but...

    Tesla cam viewer bug fixes/feature suggestions

    Love that Tesla has finally released an in car solution to viewing dash cam videos. I noticed a few bugs when playing around with it and thought of a couple possible improvements. Bugs When you get to about 1min from the end of each ~10min clip, it will boot you back to the 2 or 3min mark of...

    Best minimalist apartment/rinseless wash kit and routine

    While I enjoy a good detailing therapy video on youtube from time to time, ultimately most of what I watch I cannot or won't do to my own vehicle. I live in an apartment so I'm not going to be doing these pressure washer/foam cannon routines and I don't have a garage to store my 50 different...

    Best way to repair small scratch? Also, Sentrycam fail

    I was parked today for about 20 minutes and when I came back the 2 cars parked in front of me were gone and i saw a paper slip on my windshield. I was annoyed because I figured I had gotten a parking ticket even though it was a holiday and shouldn't have. When I got to my car, I saw that it...

    How to condition a faded/dull wood dash?

    I'm not sure if my car has sat out in too much sun (hard to believe in Seattle) but my 6/18 M3 dash is quite dull and faded. I really noticed this when i was recently in a Tesla Showroom and saw the brighter, glossier, more vibrant wood dash. I know the wood dash isn't everyone's cup of tea but...

    Recommendation on Seattle detailer/ceramic coating + ceramic tint

    Bought my M3 lightly used so it came with quite a few swirl marks. I was hoping to get a good detail and ceramic coating to protect the paint afterwards. I'm not a guy who cleans his car obsessively so I'm looking for something that will make it easier to keep clean. Not really interested in PPF...

    High mileage used LR RWD resale value thoughts

    I just came across this 2017 VINxxxx697 LR RWD with 58K+ miles which is the highest I've seen by a pretty big margin. It is listed at $41.5K w/ FSD. I'm not sure if they still allow you to remove FSD like they do on new inventory vehicles but that would put resale value sans FSD at $35.5k. I...

    DIY Curb Rash repair

    So after warning the wife 100x times to be extra careful parking because the rims are prone to curb rash, she went ahead and rashed our rims right up on her second drive. To be fair, Tesla probably deserves some of the blame for this design but... has anyone found a good DIY solution to...

    Weighing options between reserved Used or New with incentives

    I have deposit down on Used MSM LR RWD w/ 1.8k miles and 19" wheels for $35.8 but $2k transport fee brings it to $37.8k. I have a possible deal for a *Newish LR AWD ~100mi. that comes to about $41k with state and fed tax incentives. Question: Would you go with the New for ~$3k more and an...

    How much do you value SR+ to LR (AWD) range upgrade?

    I have been debating for a while whether I actually "Need" the LR model vs SR+. In my mind the SR+ represented a good value and the $9K upgrade cost to LR AWD seemed hard to justify. However, when I thought about how nice it would be to go to the mountains for skiing and not be as effected by...
