    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    I wasn't asking for an opinion on what kind of car to buy, thanks. You gotta read peoples whole post before responding to save everyone time.

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    We aren't looking for a forward facing seat - as the post said, we are looking for rear facing only, and looking for specific seat recommendations. I did see your video and the rear facing seat you've used does not appear to be a good model for newborns which needs lots of recline so their head...

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    That's good to know, thank you for sharing your experience. I had a feeling the Graco would only fit it it was more upright than reclined, which doesn't work for a newborn. We just received a Chicco Keyfit 30, and while it's not what we want, it should hopefully be usable for the first few...

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    Thank you! Yeah we really wanted the Diono Radian but definitely wont fit. Are your front passengers tall? If so, and you can get the Marathon in, that would be great.

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    Thanks to you having a specific model recommendation, I was able to find some pictures online of a britax one4life in a model 3 and it looks like the front passenger will only have to give up a little leg room! Thank you!

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    Good to know - and if there's a 6' person in the front passenger seat, how cramped do you think they might feel? We just have to get through a year of sacrifice, then we'll have a larger model and it wont be an issue.

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    Aww man, I was hoping not to hear that. Were there any models you tried that were close? Perhaps we can have the closest fit possible behind the passenger seat and sacrifice a little leg room for that front passenger. We may only have the M3P for another year max and then can transfer whatever...

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    I've used them before for infants and I know I don't like them, we prefer to carry babe on us, but more importantly for me - as a health care professional who specialises in muscular skeletal development, I can confidently say I don't want my baby in an infant carrier more than is absolutely...

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check out the Britax One4Life, is this one you've used in a Model 3? We'll use either the middle seat or behind passenger - whatever will fit best for the driver. I didn't think about the ski rack option but will consider that if the frunk option doesn't...

    Can TM3 have a rear-facing infant car seat in the center?

    Hi David, how tall are you if you don't mind me asking? We have been told that the Diono Radian RXT wont fit in any seats for us, being over 6 feet tall. We are looking for a rear facing infant seat that is usable for up to the age of two.

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    Please read whole post before answering. We have a Model 3 (2021 yr). We have tall front seat drivers (over 6 foot) and are expecting a baby soon. I have read so many threads and am struggling to get exact car seat model names for REAR FACING infant/child safety seats with tall front...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Last year I waited 8 weeks for my M3P but I knew it was going to be 8 weeks. I would have waited 18 weeks. Communication from Tesla was outstanding last quarter, and nothing like it has been for some of you this quarter. Seeing all your posts, it seems that it's the unknown factor AND the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Can you call the person assigned to your order and find out if it's for sure cancelled? This is the second Tesla purchase for us and both times we've had someone assigned to our order from the very beginning. We have their direct phone number and email and they...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Do you mean you had an appointment booked, or was the delivery window there, and then gone? We had Dec 22-31, then it disappeared and we got an actual appointment a couple days later. See the post before this one. Hopefully you are getting yours!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    It's arrived! We'd been checking our account daily. We ordered Dec 7th (British Columbia). At first the delivery date said "2-4 weeks form order date", then about mid December that changed to "December 22-31" and then last week the delivery date disappeared and said nothing at all! Last night a...

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    Congrats on getting it!! Very exciting. Thanks for the pics, appreciate very much. If you happen to be able to snap a shot of what the inside of the uberturbones look like, I'd be really interested. I was able to get a pic of the inside of the 2020 performance wheels (20" stock from Tesla) and...

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    Thanks. We really don't want to fiddle too much with the set, my partner doesn't want to have to need the hub centric rings. Maybe we'll have to suck it up and 19"inch and get the Tesla ones.

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    I'm so sorry about the panels, and that you have to wait longer. I respect how chipper you are about it! We may have to wait until March for ours as we ordered later in the quarter, but we are still excited (as hard as it will be to wait that long). We just know what we are getting and it's...

    @TheRFMan I think @RefreshedP is getting theirs tomorrow. They posted a photo on a different thread and it looks like they are the Pirelli Zero ones. Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW!

    Thank you for attaching that image. I'll try read all the posts again and see if I can understand more.. from your previous post I read it as a 64.1 bore will work, but now I think I've misunderstood.. Thanks for clarifying, 70.2 have to be the right ones then.. surely!!

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge.. I have no idea what most of it means though and will start researching the unknown (to me) terms you've used. Have you seen this thread by any chance? It might make more sense to you with your knowledge! Model 3 Performance Spacers comment number 65 mentions...

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    Hmmm... take a look at this thread.. Model 3 Performance Spacers comment #65 (if the link doesn't take you to it) is interesting. We had the Tsportline winter wheels on our 2020 M3P and they were 64.1 and they fit.

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    Would you mind taking a pic from the other side of the centre bore, and if specs were sent with them can you tell us if they are 64.1 or 70.2 or if they are angled from 70.2 to 64.1??

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    I was thinking about this all afternoon. Fastco/Replika said 70.2, Tsportline said 64.1. Both are companies that sell a lot of aftermarket wheels for Tesla, one of them has to be wrong, perhaps there's going to be a bunch of people with wheels that don't fit. I was planning on making more...

    I'm trying my best to find out what's correct, it's been very tricky with different people on the forums saying different things and they seem so sure. It's also hard when even the Tesla reps are learning as they go - the guy said changes happen so quickly a lot of the time, they are constantly...

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    So you have a 2021 with Uberturbines and you know they are 9" as opposed to 8.5? That would be great to know fro someone who has them! I just spoke to another Tesla rep at a service centre and he said they are not staggered and they have a 64.1 centre bore size. He had to check with four...

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    That's what I'm confused about. He said to call the service team but they are too busy to answer. Will try send an email. Did you see that @RefreshedP said theirs are 235/35 all-round with urberturbines? I'm taking that to mean all the same size. I'm a newb to wheels, and still trying to learn...

    I'm still wheel newb, especially when it comes to the terminology, do you mean all four wheels are the same? So not wider on the rear wheels..?

    *2021* Model 3 Performance Uberturbine Wheel Questions (esp for winter wheel and tire swap)

    Tportline were when we got our set for our 2020 model.

They essentially said in the email response that there are no changes in the...

    Thanks! I had heard about delays with TPMS and am hoping that doesn't hold things up either. Theres a chance we could get our car this quarter or... get this... March lol. In which case we might wait until the fall to get a winter set up, but if it does arrive Dec, then we are screwed if we...

    Is your MP3 a performance model - did it come with the 20" Uberturbine wheels? If so, do you know what the centre bore size is?

    New Uberturbine wheels coming to Model 3

    Yeah, I'm pretty concerned. I can't seem to find the specs for the Uberturbine wheels. I guess if it has changed, people would need hub rings to use other wheel sets?

    New Uberturbine wheels coming to Model 3

    Does anyone have their 2021 M3P yet? I just spoke to someone at Fastco, the parent company of replika. They said the new Uberturbine wheels are 8.5in, not 9. The only difference in the new wheels, is the centre bore which is now 70.2 as opposed to 64.1 so they'll updated their R241's to 70.2...

    M3P Replika wheel issues?

    I just spoke to Fastco, the parent company of Replika. Apparently the M3P 2021 wheels have a 70.2 centre bore so that's why they have enlarged them to that size. The +40mm offset isn't an issue either. So glad I checked. Perhaps Tsportline have changed the size to 70.2 and that's what we would...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Our M3P was totalled last month and we have a rental until Jan (sucks going back to an ice). It will be a rough 2-3 months if we don't get our car until March but we know how good it is so we will deal with it, as sucky as it will be to wait.

    Probably not what anyone on here wants to hear: Ordered on Dec 7th, wait time says 2-4 weeks, however Tesla rep called and said likely not until March 2021.
