Building on joebruins' comment above, I've used Meguair's G3626 waterless wash, it does a good job.

I wouldn't use it. It's not difficult to bring your own clean wash mitt and products.

joebruin is right! Have a critical look at the paint with a very strong light or in full sunlight. Look at each panel from an oblique angle.

I use this mount attached to the top left back of my screen. This places the iphone between the top of my steering wheel and my tesla screen so that I don't have to look down. I use the phone for waze or google maps, any "hey siri" duties, or tesla stats.

Do you have the ability to wash and prep paint? If so, you might apply ceramic yourself.

front license plates help police ID stolen cars, they also offer me a better chance to ID the car that hits me when I'm in sentry mode.

joebruin thanks for posting this, I see that you've posted many times around detailing. Is this a topcoat? Did you throw away your towels (SiO2) after applying the product?

My M3 had a ton of fine scratches at delivery. I spent a full day where I washed, dried, then used a DA polisher and meguiar's polish taking the scratches out. I then cleaned each panel with an isopropyl solution (IPA) and applied Cquartz 3 using a light on a tripod. Threw the applicator and...

My EZ pass is mounted vertically to the right of the mirror. It works.

I did this. In the words of the guy that framed my porch "that ain't goin' nowhere"

Pan on waxes, sealants, and coatings

That's what I would try. I have a heatgun, I'd heat it and try to stretch it. I would bet that you can order a replacement part from tesla service.

scratches can diminish value over time. High resource method, options including touchless, apartment dweller wash .

You could call a mobile dent repair company. I don't know whether that little crease can be pulled out or whether it needs to be filled and painted. I'm also not sure whether the scraped areas can be compounded and polished or whether they would need to be painted and then clear coated. Talk...

Look for elon's twitter message, 80 - 30%. "Resetting" the range by driving over 90 and below 10% is interesting.

which area gave the biggest noise reduction? trunk? wheel wells? frunk?

That looks great! I'm going to try LC.

This one, the adhesive is easy to remove from the back the velcro adhesive is much stronger.

My M3 had lots of scratches at delivery in December. I used the Meguiars products joebruin mentioned with a porter 7424 buffer/ polisher to remove them. When I wash my M3 I pre-soak and then use a two bucket method washing either top to bottom or cleanest to dirtiest panels (doors, hood, top...

I'm in the same boat, just took delivery in december. I imagine you can call your local service center and have them order it for you BUT don't know how you would install it. I ordered a third party M3 dead pedal, tore their sticky back off and applied two strips of velcro. The pedal hasn't...

Take it back and have them fix it. You should expect that any issues that occur with the install or the material are fixed so soon after it was applied. The ppf on one of my mirrors developed a thumb-sized blurry section and my provider replaced it

I live in a metro area and paid $700 for a 90' run of #6 to my Tesla wall charger. The electrician also charged me $200 for the permit that cost him $55. That was my cheapest quote, the first electrician was referred by the local Tesla store wanted $2400.

Have you tested the outlet and extension cord by plugging in something else? Is the outlet a gfci that needs to be reset? This should just work. Work slowly, but it should work.

full front PPF. Ceramic will give you protection from chemicals and bird poop, but not flying rocks.

The coating will protect against bird droppings and environmental damage. The paint protection film (PPF) will protect against some stone chips. If you're driving a small distance in city conditions you may not have a high probability of stone chips. One option may be to have the PPF...

This is the reason I like the stats app for my M3. It shows me my efficiency and total miles based on the way I'm driving. As an example, my efficiency yesterday was 104% and the estimated range at 100% was 325 miles.

schedule a service appointment to check the stripping and the door alignment with the strike plates.

my front doors were not adjusted correctly at delivery, I made a service appointment to correct them.

plugshare shows lots of chargers as you hit route 5

Is it possible to install some dynamat under the liner?

15% difference between the higher and departure charge was recommended in a reply from the stats developer. I wish he would fully document these features.

That's a good choice, the doors are covered too in case the dog jumps up. I have the same style.

shop carefully, quotes for full front in baltimore area ranged from $1400 to $2500. The $1400 quote was for good quality ppf (suntek ultra) and the provider followed all of the best practices - prep, swirl removal, tack, wrap edges, no stretch marks, etc.

I ordered a dead cover and some 2” Velcro with sticky back. Removed the back of the cover and cut two of the 2” loop strips to length and stuck them on. It holds very well

The front bumper is complex, I'd look at pre-cut kits

What setting(s) do you make in stats??? I see the preheat setting

How about considering a car cover?

Level 1 @110v you'll have only 4mph charging and will need to stow your charging adapter or buy an additional adapter if you need to charge at your destination Level 2 @240V you'll charge at a higher rate depending on your car. NEMA 14-50 is the least expensive option here. The electrician's...

LR AWD Baltimore. Ordered 30 Oct, vin 01 Dec, delivery scheduled 09 Dec

Protection first. Floor and mats, door sill protection, think about PPF, screen protector, console and dash. Based on the videos in /r/teslacam, I'd buy an SSD or SD endurance for sentry CAM.

$650 for 100' of #6 wire with 60amp fuse and permits. I live west of Baltimore, so state of MD provides up to $700 and my power company provides $300. I also had the electrician pull a second set of wiring for $400, we terminated that in an electrical box in the garage for a future EV or...

I use the 303 cleaner and their protectant

I wouldn't try a compound like scratch-x before trying a polish first. I'd wash the car, clay it, then use a polish to see if that resolves the issue. If it does, you could use a sealant.
