    Small clicking sound as electric motor engages. Is this common?

    I'm noticing a click coming from the right rear wheel well on acceleration from a stop usually around 5-10mph and again when decelerating and coming to a stop also in that mph range. anyone else?

    paint/body shop recommendations near Lehigh Valley, PA

    Hi all, unfortunately got bumped from behind and will need a new rear spoiler and at least some paint work on my M3P (trunk and bumper). Was hoping to get some recommendations for local shops. should I just bring it down to the Tesla Collision Center in King of Prussia? I'm most concerned...

    Anyone try the new Turtle Wax Pro Graphene Wax Yet?

    here's a great comparison between Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax and Seal and Shine. I also like Sonax spray and seal for the wheels, spray on and pressure wash off. I'll also use this on the vehicle if I need to do something faster than the flex wax. I just did my wife's black XC90 with the...

    Anyone try the new Turtle Wax Pro Graphene Wax Yet?

    I'm using the TW graphene flex wax now and am very happy with it. very noticeable gloss enhancement, very slick, and much easier to work with than the sonax brilliant shine detailer I was using for incredible beading. I'm happy thus far but haven't done a full decon followed up by application...

    Model 3 size - more like an Accord or more like a Civic?

    the model 3 replaced my 2007 Acura TSX (essentially an Accord) and the model 3 interior is definitely larger than my TSX was particularly rear seat leg room.

    Detailing Product Recommendations

    I asked Larry about Hydrate and he says it’s ok for PPF. I’ve been looking into turtle wax seal and shine and their new graphene spray.

    Detailing Product Recommendations

    Also was looking into things closer and Ammo Hydrate does appear to have petroleum distillates in it so also a no go for the xpel.

    Detailing Product Recommendations

    FOLLOW UP ON SONAX BRILLIANT SHINE DETAILER xpel wrote me back and stated not to use products that contain NAPTHA, NAPTHALENE, or any PETROLEUM DISTILLATES. so I wont' be using BSD on the PPF any longer because it does contain naptha which is also in their Polymer Net Shield. Sonax Spray and...

    Detailing Product Recommendations

    The Detailer who prepped my car before PPF seemed to think all Sonax products would be fine. I just emailed Xpel and will report back. BSD is definitely a bit grabby and not super slick but I love the beading and sheeting.

    yikes I certainly hope it’s safe cause I’ve been using it on my xpel. No issues so far haha.

    Detailing Product Recommendations

    have you ever used Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer? Produces insane beading and sheeting to rival a ceramic coating. I do a base with Ammo reflex or meguiars ultimate fast finish and top with sonax BSD. Also diluted some as a drying aid to top it up a bit after maintenance washes. I also follow...

    Best mud flaps?

    I'll be adding more 3M tape to my Tsolutions rears as well. fronts are holding up well and I did add additional tape to those compared to what comes with them. I'm getting the arc issue on the rears as mentioned above.

    Did you PPF your new Tesla?

    I got a white car and knew it would be very hard to match the paint for touch up so I did the full front including fenders and mirrors along with the side rockers and up in front of the rear wheels, small piece behind the rear wheels as well. I'm happy I did it. got a small tear in the front...

    Best mud flaps?

    I pushed mine out to the side a bit and added more of the 2 sided tape. so far feels very stable. only used one of the plastic push bolt things so I could position it where I wanted.

    Best mud flaps?

    I just got the Tsolutions ones and installed them in the front so far. a little lower profile than the Rally Armor ones. If I didn't get these I would have gotten Rally Armor I think. https://www.amazon.com/Tsolutions-Tesla-Model-Splash-Guards/dp/B07STZDXTS Tesla Parts and Accessories - Products

    Service guy just left. There’s definitely still a rattle sound when closing the door but not as harsh as before.

    XPEL Stealth PPF & Pearl White Question

    Does anyone recommend adding a second small additional layer of PPF in the impact zone in front of the rear wheels (like the small piece tesla is selling in their kit)? I’m thinking this way when that needs to get replaced you’re just replacing a small piece instead of the full rocker. am I...

    I noticed when checking my sentry cam videos that there is almost always an hour long dash cam video included. I can’t figure out what is starting it or why it’s recording so long. Also there is no red dot to forward to to see any action. Seems to happen every day when my car is parked at my...
