    Model 3 with kids

    Worst case scenario you buy a new rear seat bottom after a couple years. I fit three in the back of mine, but one doesn't need a car seat anymore, and the other two have "bubble bum" inflatable boosters that are tiny

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    I upgraded. Its noticable, feels good. Also want to agree there is 0 chance of refund, so be sure. If someone in vegas wants to test it before buying, send me a pm.

    Flat Tire & Roadside Experience and Tesla Service.

    Hate to break it you guys but many, many new cars do not come with a spare tire. It is an option you can add, or sometimes you can get 12v compressor kit.

    No more Service Kings?

    I have a friend who is a estimator at a local Service King. He said last week SK corporate sent out a mass email saying they had chosen to end the relationship with Tesla, and would no longer be taking them in. No cash pay, insurance work, nothing. Tesla owners will be flat out turned away...

    Just realized how the three way lumbar works!

    Been driving the 3 for a month. I did RTFM, but somehow missed the lumbar controls. Top, middle, and lower adjustment, and one button to deflate! Lol I have been so confused. Much more comfy now

    Does anyone have this on their driver side?

    Hope it works out good. Now that they know you are looking there I bet they will make it right

    New Delivery Paint Issues

    Seam sealer is under the paint. Sand at your own risk!

    Does anyone have this on their driver side?

    If they resprayed the entire side, so at least the texture matches from front to back, I would leave it alone. It still does the job of protecting the rocker panel from chips, whatever the texture.

    Does anyone have this on their driver side?

    Most of these products are under the base and clear. I think the texture has a lot to do with air pressure in the spray gun, and application technique as well as the actual brand. Sanding it wont make small bumps into large ones, it will flatten the "top" of the bump, and then there are...

    Does anyone have this on their driver side?

    Looks like they resprayed the chip guard during the repair. Aftermarket spray on chip guards are very hard to get the texture to match original. It often has a more "pebble" texture. You can have them redo it, but it may never be exactly the same. Another option is to have both side resprayed so...

    Sentry Mode USB flash drive failure costing me thousands

    Seems like having a 2500 deductible is also costing you thousands.

    The $54,000 Paperweight (Registration problems)

    Man, I thought the buying experience in Vegas couldn't have been smoother. Picked up mine 9/16, on a 30 day tag. Tesla emailed me the paper work a week later, and I registered online. Got the plates in the mail yesterday.

    Model 3 Driver window problem

    Is the lamp on the very bottom of the door trim panel (puddle lamp) working? If that is unplugged, the window never stays down. Maybe it wiggled loose.

    Stuck a performance spoiler on my non-p

    A friend removed his and gave it to me. Since I am not a fan of carbon fiber, I painted it body color. Still on the fence about how it looks, what do you think?

    Subwoofer? Is that what the hole is for?

    On ICE cars the pad has plastic clips that are designed to melt from an engine fire and pad will smother the fire. Not sure what this one will do....

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    The pillar skin, and the fender are both steel. The rubbing is causing the e-coat to rub off leaving bare steel. As long as there is any gap at all it should be fine.

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    If its touching, use a 10mm socket and long extension to loosen the bolt at the top of the fender jamb (with the door open) and pull the fender out by the edge at the top. Retighten the bolt. Might make the fender slightly over flush to the door, but it will stop the rubbing.

    Wondering why my new model 3 is on such old firmware?

    Morning model 3 crew. I picked my car up 2 weeks ago, 9/19 build, 477xxx vin. It is running firmware 2019.27.103. After reading around on here it looks like that is several versions older than the latest. I have wifi on, updates set to advanced, and even parked at a service center for a couple...

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    Small point of correction here. This rub spot is not the "frame." The frame of these vehicles is aluminum and is under the floor. This is the steel skin of the uniside and it is fixable, but a proper paint repair would need the fender and door removed for access. Touch up paint probably wont...

    How to order parts for Model 3? Tesla wont sell to non authorized body shop

    It's my understanding that the parts requiring a certified shop are all structural. I was told "mom and pop" shops couple order bolted on parts, but for anything welded, glued or riveted, the shop had to be certified. I'm surprised you ran into this for a fender....

    Bumper dent repaired... now no ultrasonic (proximity) sensors :(

    The plug for the main bumper harness is under the passenger side headlamp. Remove the clips for the liner and pull it to the side and look. It will be hard to get to, but if its unplugged you'll see it hanging.
