    Power trunk retrofit causing car awake

    interesting turn of events. My trunk doesn't work at all now. Doesn't seem to be getting any power. used emergency latch to open from inside the trunk after crawling in through back seat. pulled trunk open and there's no light illuminating the button. made a service appt.

    Power trunk retrofit causing car awake

    i did a soft reset last night and came to a car this morning that was pretty much a hard reset. all driver profiles gone, settings reset, trip mileage all reset, seats, bluetooth, everything. so i guess connect the plug before doing a software update?

    Power trunk retrofit causing car awake

    Yep. already a difference. 2 hrs after i disconnected, the car is quiet, "T" logo next to charge port is off and even the widget on my phone shows 2 hours since last active, or whatever that timing is. Before the most time it would show is ~2-3 minutes.

    Power trunk retrofit causing car awake

    Same issue here. Car not sleeping as of the last month/1.5 months. I don't have the HVAC errors, but definitely losing 5%+ of charge when not plugged in daily. 2020 M3P and got the power trunk retrofit done back in October 2023. I do tend to use the screen/phone app more often to close trunk...

    Vendor Teslogic Amber Tail Light Adapters

    It makes the outer "C" outline the brake light and the original center slits remain the blinker. But this only works for on the more recent Model Y/3 tail lights with the center yellow blinker.

    Power Trunk Retrofit on Model 3s now Available Direct from Tesla [09.14.2023 - 2018 model 3 not eligible]

    oh geez, that sounds like a total pain and very frustrating. Wonder if your 2019 is close to the 2018/2019 cut over that makes it incompatible. Hope you get it resolved soon.

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    curious, does the hyperflash also show on screen and you can hear sound or does the on screen signal/sound proceed as normal and you wouldn't be able to tell it's "hyperflashing?"

    Power Trunk Retrofit on Model 3s now Available Direct from Tesla [09.14.2023 - 2018 model 3 not eligible]

    Tested out this morning and you are correct. Adjusted height lower and saved via button hold/beep. Next open was to that low height. Set back to highest level and saved again. So it certainly is height adjustable to any level, just doesn't open as wide/high as the manual struts.

    touche. will have to try to adjust at a lower height to see if it saves.

    Power Trunk Retrofit on Model 3s now Available Direct from Tesla [09.14.2023 - 2018 model 3 not eligible]

    It cannot. I'm able to push mine up just a tad more (no real difference) and hold the button until it beeps. But that does nothing as it opens back to the original height. Mine looks like @JayPaul's. And yes, @terranx's white M3P opening does seem a tad higher than the retrofit. The retrofit...

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    Just did this today. Simple plug and play now like mentioned, but did notice two things. 1) the yellow blinker "hangs" for a split second when canceling/stopping while brake light is on, for both sides. No big deal and i can live with that split second hang. Doesn't happen if no application of...

    They're the TSportline TS5's i did-up in bronze. Stock height. Could look lower b/c of camera angle and taller tires.

    Model three making a fast clicking when fan is on, is this normal?

    I had a similar noise when running the AC. SC took frunk area apart and it was a sticker/label that was coming off and flapping around when the AC was running. At least that's what i was told and after that visit, no more noise.

    Power Trunk Retrofit on Model 3s now Available Direct from Tesla [09.14.2023 - 2018 model 3 not eligible]

    Yep. Definitely doesn't open as much as the trunk w/ manual struts. I've bumped my head a few times on the trunk bump stops. I'm able to push mine further up just a tad and hold the button till it beeps, but it doesn't save that max height. always opens back to the original opening height. not...

    Power Trunk Retrofit on Model 3s now Available Direct from Tesla [09.14.2023 - 2018 model 3 not eligible]

    Unrelated, but i was taking a closer look at the trunk install and noticed my driver-side outer tail light wasn't aligned. I pushed it in and it adjusted back into the light recess. Anyway, upon closer inspection, the 2 bolts behind the the light was not properly tightened, causing the light to...

    Yes, they use the existing trunk trim and modify it for the button. My trunk trim was scratched up enough to know it's still the original piece they modified.

    Just picked up after getting this installed. Surprisingly it took a couple days. Both struts are definitely powered. I can see wired connections to both. The latch on the trunk itself was replaced and button is as pictured in updated site. The trunk doesn’t seem to open as high as when it was...

    same. curious on the performance version. Not sure i like the spelled out "T E S L A" on the back. Put a logo from factory and people remove the logo and add letters to spell it out. Spell it out and people replace it with a logo.

    Reduced alert signal volume with 2023.26.7

    Yup. Toggled "Joe mode" off and sound is back to normal (what i'm used to). I had Joe mode on this entire time from when it was first available and now it makes a difference. Guess this update finally got it right so Joe mode actually made a difference.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    The pics posted here in the thread are nice and look more like the zero G, but on the website, the other pictures of the wheels look like the ones T-Sportline sells. Which ones are these? The T-Sportline ones have that slight ridge along the spokes. When you select a different color, the wheel...

    Reduced alert signal volume with 2023.26.7

    same, did update and no change. i guess there's a difference with joe mode on? Will have to flip it off and see if that changes it or not. Not a big deal, but i'm so used to hearing the blinkers now, when i don't hear it i tend to look at the screen to see if the camera view pops up when i...

    Vibration when blasting the AC

    Yes, I've got a 2020 M3P and recently brought it to a SC cause i heard a "rattling" when the AC was under load. SC found a "loose" label which caused the "rattling" noise. When i asked about the loud vibrating noise, he said that's normal AC operation under load. Note though, the "vibrating"...

    Reduced alert signal volume with 2023.26.7

    Yes. I noticed this immediately also. I thought my turn signals weren't initiating since i wasn't hearing anything, only to realize the sound is much quieter. Definitely got quieter along with the gear change chimes. I adjusted navigation volume and that doesn't change the sound level for the...

    Uberturbine Wheel Market Price Going Up?

    Most likely not considering there's probably a ton out there as is. I have the the 2020 M3P with the older gunmetal stilletto 20" performance wheels. Those seem more rare than the current Uberturbines, but the value is around the same as any other type of wheel. Maybe just harder to come by.

    T-sportline wheels with H&R Trak+ spacers

    I used the 14mm H&R spacers on 20" TS5s. It's an extremely snug fit. Recommend using some antiseize on the inner ring contacting the wheel hub if you go this route. Also, be prepared to use something to push (knock) it out of the wheel hub to remove. The extended shank lugs fit just as snug and...

    Falken Azenis FK460 A/S Tires Preliminary Review - '21 Model 3 Performance

    I feel the same to your update on the Falkens, especially on the steering feel. These tires do have a deeper tread, so really wasn't expecting PS4S level of response. i'm coming from OE size MPS4S. They do feel to provide more "cushion" at this size as well 245/35/20.
