Anybody make any progress on this? Same issue but even worse in a Model 3...

Any pics of how you removed the foam and what it looks like? And any luck adjusting the rails? I'm developing knee pain from having my knee bent all the time and really would like to be able to straighten my legs even for a min or two while on cruise control...

I was just swapping my Summer tires out for Winters.. I've got a split set of two Nokian R3s from when I purchased the car, and two R5s I purchased earlier this year after I was in an accident and two of the R3s were damaged. The R5s now have ~4k miles on them, and I measured the tread depth...

For anyone that installed R5 or R5 EVs, how is the dry handling at freeway speeds (65-75mph)? Is it stable and confident? Any awkwardness when changing lanes or going around curves at those speeds?

Hi All, My car was in a collision and I need to swap 2 tires immediately, currently have R3s with 5/32s of tread all around on the car. I'd like R5 EVs but they are OOS nationally. Does anyone think I'd have an issue with mixing 2 R3s at 5/32 with 2 new R5s? Then for next season swapping the...

Sure did, took it to my local Tesla service center. They have a test where they put a LED inside a piece of black paper with a circle on it some distance in front of the car, and you look at it from within your vehicle. If the reflection is outside the circle, then your windshield is out of...

I've been trying autosteer on the freeway on and off since I got the car at the end of last year, and uniformly every time I use it the car either tries to hug one edge of the lane being way too close to the cars in that lane, or oscillates back and forth between edges of the lane within seconds...

I see it happening everywhere that I could reasonably contort my torso/head to view, the level of separation between the source and first reflection does change in magnitude on certain areas of the glass, but is present everywhere.

Thanks yeah that is what I figured bouncing off the layers inside. I've only had the car a couple of months so I'm certain it's been happening since I picked it up. I haven't tried an inside glass cleaning, that is worth doing, but I have definitely cleaned the outside of the glass.

Is anyone else experiencing windshield "ghosting" at night where you see vertically (and sometimes slightly horizontally) shifted opaque copies of light sources? It seems the worst on LED based lighting, but I can see some effects of it on most lights at night. See a sample cropped image below...

Thought I'd chime in, just got a model 3 and have exactly this issue.. I was actually getting concerned something was wrong with my eyes as I'd never seen this before. Sucks.

Looks amazing!!

That's pretty darn close, did you decide to go with it? If so, post pics when done!

All- I'm looking at getting my windows tinted, primarily for appearance, secondarily for UV/IR rejection. The vendor I'd like to use recommends 3M Crystalline, but I've seen a few pictures of the exterior of that tint leaning towards the blue spectrum, and the interior view out coloring the...

What did you use to wrap your door handles, that looks like a nearly perfect factory color match!

Let me know what you find, and any pics, including if the shop you go to has samples you can stick next to the wheels. My appointment is on Friday.

Thanks, do you have a pic of that with those particular wheels? I'd want to see it prior to buying.

Nikola I saw in an earlier post you had taken pictures of 3M samples next to the uncovered aero wheels, any chance you could do the same thing next to the current gray 20" performance wheels? I'd love to get a chrome delete in a color that matches those wheels. Candidates seem to be Satin Dark...

All- I have a Performance Midnight Silver Metallic M3 with the grey 20" wheels.. I'm curious if anyone has tried to do a chrome delete with a color close to the wheels? And whether there is one? I found the list of 3M 1080/2080 colors here and it seems like Satin Dark Gray, Dead Matte Black...

Great, Carbon Fiber pleaaase! :)

Bumping this thread now that we're a couple months into winter, has your opinion of the Alpins changed at all? Especially in snowy conditions? I'm considering getting a set of these so I can drive up to Tahoe for skiing a few weekends during the snowy season, but the rest of the time will be...

I watched the videos on the mirrors and there are a bunch of pieces there.. once done when you look at it do you see seams all over? Just wondering how this compares to a professional job if they use less pieces of material.

Any plans for a wrap for the wood dash piece?

Did anyone get any sort of receipt or paperwork from Tesla when they picked up their car? Just wondering if I need some kind of evidence that I got the car before the end of the year to be able to claim the state and federal tax credits..

EECU here, they told me they send the check overnight, but that they will scan the check and email it to Tesla immediately and that is sufficient for Tesla to release the car.

Got VIN, MVPA, and scheduled delivery for Friday.. wanted to give the bank a day to get the loan paperwork together and off to Tesla after Christmas.

URL for online chat? I couldn't find it..

Yikes they are booked at Fremont all the way to 12/30? What happens to all the cars that get pumped out in the next couple of days and want delivery :(

What coverage levels do you get for that?

Just got a VIN in the source, order date 12/7.. talked to SA though and they said it is still pre production, so no MVPA or ability to schedule delivery date yet.

They guaranteed delivery for anyone who ordered before 12/9.. so I would assume they'd make good on that somehow.

Wow, did that seem like an automated text or from an actual human? Haven't heard this from anyone else

That would be awesome.

Did you swap to that method? I'm surprised they are doing that rather than just pumping people through the DC.

FWIW I spoke to a rep that thought I might not be able to make an appointment until I had a VIN assigned - which hasn't happened yet. Has anyone been able to book an actual delivery date (not just availability), that DOESN'T have a VIN yet?

Were you delivering to Fremont? This is what my page looks like (and I've been refreshing hourly):

Got the text for the appt, but then the page said no open slots to take delivery, argh!

Norcal is obviously going to be last... when you are trying to maximize overall delivery quantity by the EOY, and you have a list of orders from all over the country, you have to build the cars and get them moving to the furthest locations first. And when you are approaching the timeframe that...

He thought within 2 days of assembly, so likely right after Christmas. He did say +/- 48 hours though.

X-ice? Hows the caliper clearance?

I popped into my local dealership and they got on chat with their manufacturing team that told them my car is scheduled to be built on 12/24... no VIN yet though online, and ordered 12/7.

I talked to my dealership today about the Performance models listed in inventory and they did confirm they are pre-production, and are in queue behind all other orders. They also pulled up Salesforce and chat with manufacturing and said my order placed on 12/7 is scheduled to be built on 12/24...

What front license plate frame is that?

Yes, and they said they would.. it just took awhile.

What films did they offer and which did you use? Did they wrap all the edges?

Anybody have personal recommendations for PPF shops in the Bay Area? I'm aware of OCDetailing which seems to get very positive reviews, but also looking for some other competitive pricing options. PS if there is a wiki or other thread with a summary of this info, I'd appreciate a pointer. Thanks!

What tint %'s did you use?

Not to hijack the thread, but what is a "good" price for a full body PPF wrap?

Can anyone who went with EECU comment on how easy it is to make monthly payments via their system? IE I don't want to have to manually move money from my current accounts to EECU to then pay from their account.. is it possible to link an account from another bank/CU and automatically withdraw...
