    Looking for a full liner for the lower trunk storage

    I loaded two propane tanks into the lower storage on Saturday, (they fit perfectly), and had to use a couple of large trash bags to protect the sides of the storage area from getting scratched or, heaven forbit, dirty. I went Google/AliExpress hunting for a protective "insert" for that area and...

    Noob question - firmware update frequency

    I’m 10 days in and on 2020.39.103 along with 4 other folks in the world according to TeslaFi vs. 8,809 on 2020.48.10. How frequently do you see an update pushed to your cars normally or isn’t there a pattern? I check each day which isn’t probably unhealthy! Not sure if you normally see these...

    DIY removable radar detector holder

    I couldn’t find any DIY advice on mounting a radar detector and after owning this car for just 3 days, I know I need one! Someone gave me this screen mounted phone holder. It came with two arms that hold a phone holder left or right. I took one and cut off the arm then used epoxy resin to...

    I think that that we’re being ripped off...

    I took delivery of my car this evening in Princeton, NJ. So, the trip TO the dealer was 11 miles and took around 21 minutes. I picked up my nice new M3 LR and after a thorough check over I set off home. The trip BACK took well over an hour and was 58 miles including some time on the...

    “Legacy” M3 discounts

    I’m waiting for my M3 VIN to arrive which will be the ‘21 update. I reached out to the SA and asked if they were discounting the legacy models and he said yes. I told him that for a $5,000 reduction I’d consider taking one - my rationale was that I’d be losing range and resale value rather than...

    MASTER THREAD: 2021 model year Model 3 and the differences, if any, from 2020

    According to pictures that we are seeing, the updated M3s have 2021 VINs so I guess we need to start this thread. There’s a lot of speculation (heat pumps, double pane windows, taillights, and power trunks) but we are seeing evidence of the following: Chrome delete (technically, it’s not...

    How I got around the need to share my 50 amp supply

    I already had a 50 amp supply in my workshop for a heater and I that’s the closest building to where I will park my M3. I only have sufficient amperage to the workshop for one 50 amp supply but wanted to be able to heat the workshop, charge the M3, and occasionally run a kiln. What to do? I...

    Declined delivery for next week

    I was going to wait until after battery day was over before ordering my M3 LR+ but noticed that everyone seemed to be doing that so I went ahead and placed the order today so I wouldn't miss a Q4 delivery. I should note that my BMW is here until10/26 so I was happy to wait a month or two. Just...

    How to find a reputable wrapper!

    Obviously, Ice-T and Eminem are on the list but more seriously... What am I Googling? Car wrapping, Detailing, Saran wrap, Paint shops...? I've never had to do this before so I'm not sure what I'm looking for or how to assess their capabilities (other than asking how often they do this). TIA

    NJ delivery just went from 2-4 weeks to 1-11 weeks!

    I get that as the quarter end approaches there’s a lag but 1-11 weeks is one heck of a range. I was going to wait until battery day to order but now I’m a little freaked out!

    What’s so special about the Tesla paint?

    My BMW 330e lease is up next month and I’m ordering a M3 LR+ in gray once battery day wraps up. Very excited! Anyway, the BMW is 3 years old and the paintwork is fine, a few dings but nothing to worry about. I’d I never considered the need to wrap it up in vinyl, apply ceramic, or have the...

    Waiting until after battery day to order...

    I’m going to order a model 3 but I’m not in a huge hurry (other than the excitement) as my BMW lease runs until mid October. I’m thinking about waiting until battery day before I order in case there’s news that causes me to consider waiting. Overthinking, stretching out the anticipation, or...
