    Question for those that have swapped out their FUCA, any increase in NVH?

    Have UPP Coilovers and sway bars on my 2020 Model 3 Performance. height is probably about 3/4” lower than stock. Ate through my tires on the inside tread within 15K miles. My front tire camber is a bit off, about -1.5 degrees. Debating purchasing some MPP front upper control arms to allow...

    Replaced tires at 15k, checked alignment. Wow, it was off!

    Had top glass on my 2020 M3P replaced. Tesla noted the tires needed to be replaced, which i was skeptical. Got home and checked, yes the tires were very worn, mostly on the the inner tread area. Checked my alignment using toe alignment plates and a camber level. Obviously not as...

    anyone put a 275/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on rear 8.5” wheels of a Performance model?

    Need to replace my tires on my 2020 model 3 Performance, which has 8.5” wheels all around. Paying all that money and not getting any improvements in looks or performance is a bit disappointing. Was hoping to fill out the rear wheel well a bit more by putting 275/30-20 tires on the back...

    Tires need to be replaced at 14,500. 2020 M3P

    2020 Model 3 Performance. Just under 15k miles. Down to 3-4mm left on tires. Both discount tire and tesla says need to be replaced. Is that about normal? Mileage wise? How much did you all pay to have tires replaced? Good news, i guess, is Michelin is putting up 37% of cost to...

    Curious whether UCA should rotate somewhat freely when unbolted from suspension

    Was working on my front coil overs and had them removed. Upper control arm was disconnected from the suspension, but still bolted in place. it will move but only with a good amount of pushing or pulling. Is this normal? I see the rubber bushings. Is it correct to assume that these are...

    “Boing” noise from left front coil over. Recommendations?

    Tesla Model 3 Performance with aftermarket coil overs and sway bars. My left front coil over has started to make a boing sound when turning the wheel after backing out of my driveway. Pretty much only does it when going from straight to full lock, at low speeds. Everything is installed per...

    Curious if anyone knows why Unplugged Performance has changed design of rear coil over springs

    Unplugged Performance, like many other vendors, updates, attempts to improve their equipment they provide. I noted that they have changed the design of their rear coil over spring assembly. It looks significantly different than the previous design, and i believe different than other...

    Tesla, please get rid of the fake leather and use real leather

    Was just told by Mobile Technician that replaced a bubble in my headrest that it is not uncommon to see fake leather separate from the underbacking of the material. Unlike really leather, this stuff is made with a synthetic woven material and the fake leather is glued to the woven material...

    Broken passenger visor mirror due to seat too far forward. Tesla did not cover cost to repair.

    I moved my seats forward and tilted upright (as far as they would go forward and tilted upward). Apparently that cracked my passenger visor vanity mirror. Tesla mobile technician said he had seen it a good number of times. He said it was not covered under warranty. It ended up costing...

    Bubble in headrest, Tesla might be caused by interior cleaner/conditioner

    Had a bubble form in my headrest. Mobile service replaced the headrest. The technician said it was replaced under “goodwill” but it might be caused by using a leather cleaner/conditioner. He said any type of propellant type spray on the seats could damage them, causing the fake leather to pull...

    minor issues with pleather and b pillar trim. Will they be fixed via mobile service?

    I have a bubble in the pleather of my drivers headrest, and interior trim of B pillar refuses to stay affixed to interior sheet metal etc. I’ve removed and reinstalled interior trim on many cars. This car refuses to stay properly affixed. I occasionally bump it with hip or butt getting out...

    Place to get alignment in the Seattle area

    I live in Lakewood, south of Seattle. I’ve installed UP coil overs, adjustable length sway bar links, UP sway bars. It took me a bit to get my preferences dialed in but am pretty much done monkeying with all the variables. Time for an alignment. Anyone know a good shop south of downtown...

    Turned off auto-lock at home, but car doesnt lock in another place as well

    Guess I should have titled it “locking at home issues”. Sorry for any confusion. I keep my car in the garage so have enabled that the doors, etc don’t auto lock when my car is parked at home. The local grocery store is almost exactly 1/4 mile from my home, straight line distance. When i go to...

    How are Texan Tesla owners dealing w/ unreliable and expensive electricity?

    I have both a son and a brother that live in Texas (Austin and Dallas). Visiting them both pretty regularly, I’m amazed by both the number of big old pick-up trucks but also Teslas (mostly in the Austin area). How is owning a Tesla in a state known to be very conservative, not ones to think...

    Road noise increased after coil over install?

    Curious if anyone has noticed an increase in road noise after installing coil overs? I have UP coil overs installed. Much better ride etc compared to lowering springs. But i do believe i hear an increase in road noise, predominantly coming from the rear of the car. Could it be from the...

    New UP coil overs for M3Performance, think they screwed up items

    Received a set of coil overs from Unplugged Performance yesterday for my 2020 Model 3 Performance. Installed the right front one, torqued everything down. Was getting ready to do the other front and the rears today. Then a package from UP showed up overnight Saturday delivery. Contained...

    Does Tesla always provide a loaner when car is in for warranty work?

    My 7 month old M3P is going to the local SC next week for a new windshield and some drive train noise. Do i need to coordinate with them to ensure they will provide a loaner while the car is being worked on, or do they automatically provide one? I’ve tried calling the SC but all you get is...

    I’ve had USAA for years. That being said, my Tesla M3 has a big crack. Windshield needs to be replaced. I went online and made a claim w USAA. I got a call from Safelite. Told her I wanted Tesla to replace. She told me I could have Tesla do it but I might be required by USAA the...

    Where to get trim clip for frunk plastic perimeter?

    I removed my front trunk (frunk) yesterday. When re-installing I somehow broke two of the clips that hold the outer perimeter of the plastic to the metal body. They are not the standard push type trim clips. I don't suppose Rock Auto sells Tesla trim parts does it? Where do I get two of...

    Forgive my ignorance, but... I have a question

    I’m not new to tech devices, or even EVs, but I’m new to Teslas. I’ve got less than 1k on my car, owned it for about 2 weeks. AP and FSD, Most recent update. Love the car, but occasionally I’m no sure what it is doing, or why. Twice tonight while driving on I5 using NOA the car...
