Took a trip to Joshua tree a couple weeks ago, and the PPF film that is on the cars rear rockers got pretty beat up. Thinking about replacing it with the Twraps stuff. They have regular size and large size as well as 2 different thickness (8 or 10 mil). I assume 10 is better? Is there any...

2023 S Plaid. I set auto present handles to off when I’m parked at home. It used to be that when the car was plugged in at home, anytime I unplugged the car, the handles would auto-present. After the second to last update (don’t remember the number, but current version is 44.30.7), this...

I looked into my service mode today and found this error, which seems to have been occurring on multiple days. My search didn’t find anything, and the car seems to be driving normally. Is this something I should be concerned about? Time to schedule a service visit? Car is a 2023 Model S...

I got the windows tinted on my 2023 S the other day, but didn’t get the roof as the guy didnt have a big enough piece to do the entire roof and had to order it. However, he just called me and told me that he heard that on the Model S, roof tinting will cause the glass to crack and will void any...

2023 S Plaid. One of my sons is in a rock climbing program that meets weekly. They have 2 buildings on opposite sides of the large parking complex: a main gym, and a training center and they alternate locations each week. When I park at the training center, and only when I’m at the training...

I bought a key fob for my 2020 Model 3 for my wife to use it on those rare occasions that she takes the car. Can I use the same key fob on my 2023 Model S? I understand that I can program the Key cards for both cars so that one card will open up both cars. But does that also work for the...

Really odd. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. Usually it’s when I’m approaching my garage that it’s gone. But also sometimes, I am backing out of my garage and want to close the door, but the Icon is missing. I have to hit the control button, then click on homelink and my garage to...

M3P. Got a nail in my tire, looks like inside edge. Pics came out crappy, but posted below. Tires have almost 3000 miles on them. Don’t have time to take it to a tire shop today, so will go out tomorrow. If they can’t fix because they are too close to the edge, I assume I’ll need to get 2...

2020 M3P. I will need to make the trip from Orange County, CA to San Diego four times next week (80 miles each way). For a couple reasons not relevant here, I would prefer to make the drive each day rather than stay at a hotel. There will be traffic, so I assume it will be about 2 hours each...

I have the avoid tolls option checked on my Model 3 navigation. Took a trip today, and on the way home, the navigation took me through a toll road. I’ll admit, it was definitely faster than going through one of the alternative, toll free roads, but still kind of annoying. Any reason why the...

This is weird. Happening with both key cards that I have. Both keys are listed as active on the system. To test this, I tried to delete the second key card, and it asked me to tap the first key card on console and it worked. I was then able to add the second card again, tapping the first...

Has anyone tried these lug nuts? https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GCXYMTB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I don’t love the idea of plastic caps on the OE lug nuts, and these seem like they might be OK as a replacement, and relatively cheap also. I don’t need titanium or...

Selling the wheels from my 2020 M3P. 20” dark gray with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires and OEM TPMS. Tires have ~2500 miles on them. Also includes the carbon fiber hub covers and stock hub covers. 1 wheel has small curb rash (less than 1”- see pic), other 3 are clean with no curb rash or...

Years ago, one of the wax/sealant companies (pretty sure it was Zaino, though I may be wrong) suggested that to get the optimum look on your car, you should apply/remove in a straight line in an up down pattern. So, on the hood, you go from windshield to bumper, and on sides from windows to...

These are from a 2020 Performance model, and have the piece that goes over the “dead pedal”. These are the front mats only. Local pick up in Orange County only. Bring me a 6-pack of chicken nuggets or something and they are yours!

Got these for my 2020 M3P. I’ve searched, and didn’t really find too many photos of these mats in the Model 3, so thought I would post my pics here. As a former 911 owner, I’ve been aware of cocomats for years, and thought it would make a nice addition to my M3P. I got the black with blue...

I know, first world problem... I do like to keep my M3P clean though, and I’ve noticed that the rear gets really dusty/dirty pretty quickly, while the rest of the car stays relatively clean. I’m pretty sure it’s related to the aerodynamics of the car. Are there any solutions? Mudflaps...

How often does this happen to you? Seems like every time I hop into my wife’s car and go to put it in drive, I turn on the wipers instead.

Just started happening today. I exit the car, press the button on the mobile charger, and the door doesn’t open. I tried doing a reset (press both buttons + brake pedal), and didn’t fix it. Anyone else have this issue? Anything else to try? Thanks!

Was driving my week old Model 3P, when someone pulled next to me at a stop light and told me my brake light was out. When I got home, I checked it, and sure enough, the driver side brake light is out. If you hit the brake pedal, the light goes on for a second then goes out. I’m surprised...

In the world of mobile phones, I think it’s generally accepted that charging slowly is better for the battery. Does this also apply to our batteries? I have a NEMA 14-50 outlet that charges my Model 3P at 32A, and notice that you can change the amperage on the main screen. Would it have a...
