    screen protector

    Screen protector is personal choice. Also depends on your situation/use of the car- if you have dogs in the car, kids, people that wear obnoxious rings, bracelets, charm bracelets, etc. that tend to smack the screen when they play with it. The screens are really tough as is, but people have...

    "Tesla Offer" Models 3 (& S, X, & Y) Powered Frunk Hood Group Buy?

    I'm interested! I didn't think I'd use my frunk as much as I do.

    Midnight siliver color regret anyone?

    I loved my Gun Metal Gray Chevy volt color and seeing so many white, black, and blue Tesla's at work and around my area where Red was rare and MSM's seemed to be rarer, I figured I'd stand out a bit going with my main choice of MSM. A few weeks after delivery, I'm driving around my area and now...

    2021 Centre Console Insert - yet?

    I got this same one- flocked version. Mine was an overly tight fit. It slides if I give it a good push, but not all the way forward or it'll be a bitch to pull back. I can one handed slide forward, but need two hands to pull back to have equal force on the corners being pulled. If i try to...

    If you could change one thing about the Model 3...

    Extended Rear sensors The current ones are just for parking/close proximity. Having the Chevy Volt for 9yrs, I got used to the rear sensors and it has saved me from countless accidents. Sometimes there isn't a good view rearward and to the sides, and the screen may not show any issues, but a...

    USB drive sticks out in front CC compartment. Low profile USB-C available?

    I got this- has a 90deg angle turn that keeps the cord to the right or left of the wall and away from the center where most of my junk sits. Right Angle USB C Extension Cable 0.6FT: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0836HS4LQ/

    Differences between black and white interiors

    From what I read, White interior is a softer material and has an added special coating to make it more stain resistant. Which adds to the extra cost. There are tons of YouTube vids of people throwing wine, tomato sauce, coffee, etc on the seats to show it's tough to stain. But I wasn't...

    Question on Screen Protectors?

    Exactly this is why I put one on- I have the clear version and prints are very minimal, unless you're eating a bbq belly fat burger while playing Missile Command. I've seen a few vids where their screen was scratched or chipped due to a purse or backpack with a metal buckle/zipper hitting the...

    Can't sign into YouTube - Plex fix not working

    I had this issue last week. However, I haven't logged into any infotainment services up until that point (picked up car on 12/30). When I tried to log into youtube with my own account I got the current error that the browser isn't secure or something. I browsed to the plex.tv site, used my...

    2021 M3 owners- have you checked behind the aero wheels yet?

    Zinc spray? Haven't heard of that before. I'll check out our local Autozone store for something like that. Thanks!

    2021 M3 owners- have you checked behind the aero wheels yet?

    In the rush to pick up the car in the last couple days of the year, I didn't bother pulling the aero wheels to see behind them. Almost 2 weeks later, I decided to pull them for the first time. Here's what I found: - deep pit/scratch mark near the center of the rim (not sure how to repair this...

    Roadside Assistance experience: Flat Tire

    Do newer Teslas, for example on a 2021 LR AWD Model 3, still have the foam lining inside them? So a can of fix-a-flat won't work in the cases posted above? What about a tire plug kit? Reading the OP's experiences thus far, and living in San Diego as well, I need to prepare quick alternatives.

    Homelink module installed by Tesla Mobile

    Can homelink be used via voice commands? i.e. homelink/close garage, open garage. Also I assume there's a setting to close the garage manually by the touch screen drop down vs letting it close automagically; I actually want to see and control it closed rather than assume it closed and...

    Dash Cam issue on 2021 Model 3 LR

    Mine came with a 128G stick. I was surprised since I've read here that it came with 64gb. So maybe they increased the storage for those picking up in the last couple weeks of 2020. When I picked up the car my dash cam wasn't working. I ejected it, pulled it out, pushed it back in, did the...

    2021 Model 3 trunk replacement LED lights

    I switched my trunk lights out with these: Wicked bright led trunk lights from teslapuddlelights Good price, easy install (5min for both), and they light up the entire trunk space. Also grabbed a few of their other lights and very happy with the results.

    Wind Noise Solution?

    Comparing the Chevy Volt to my new M3 LR AWD, the Volt is slightly quieter even at freeway speeds (70mph+). That said, I only noticed when I was concentrating on the noise level just after I drove my M3. It doesn't bother me and even my passenger didn't notice any real difference- but then he...

    Logo Puddle Lights Weirdness

    I just tested the puddle lights I got from teslapuddlelights.com. My T logo doesn't dim at all when I open the driver passenger side door. I also switched out the passenger side doors with their Chill Blue lights- not sure if that makes a difference in an even power draw.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Finally took delivery of my LR AWD MSM with white interior! I named her "Serenity" I didn't have any of the passenger door issues reported earlier in this thread, but my trunk edge on the passenger side was raised up a bit and didn't align as well as the driver side. Also some uneven gaps at...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Received email at about 2:30am with VIN#..875xxx and final payment details! Ordered 12/05 Pickup 12/31 Model 3 MSM LR AWD Blk/White For final payment it says to pay before delivery. I thought to pay if I accept delivery once I see the car? If I don't pay in advance, will they release my VIN?

    Noisemaker retro fit anyone??

    Has anyone tried activating the driving sounds via voice control? It would be a nice feature if you're pulling into a parking lot area or driving slow with lots of cell phone zombies around to then tell your car to enable a driving sound. Easier than taking your eyes off the road and fiddling...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My SA told me it's fine to pay by check- I'm using a bank issued check. In fact my bank is unable to do wire transfers at this time, so I have no choice but to use a check. I verified this with my SA at the start via email, then again during other email correspondence. I emailed a couple days...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got a txt msg this morning stating my M3 will be built in the next 1-2 days (I thought these were built in batches 2-3 months ago?) and a tentative delivery appointment for 12/27! No VIN# but will be notified 24-36hrs prior to appointment to confirm. Ordered 12/05; M3 AWD LR; MSM / White...

    2021 P3D with Frunk removed.

    So P3D is Model 3 Performance Downgraded. ;) Maybe P3S for the Stealth version would have a more positive spin to it.:D

    App Notification in Case of Accident

    I'm curious about this too. I was in a virtual 'get to know your tesla' meeting, the host mentioned that in a hard impact event (air bags deployed?), Tesla will be notified and attempt to call you 3 times at the number on your file. If no response, emergency services will be notified. Similar...

    Show us your beautiful Tesla with ceramic coating

    Quite a few friends that had ceramic coating had it done mainly for the purpose of getting the paint corrected and polished professionally first and the coating is usually part of the package or discounted. They wanted the paint correction done by professionals and the ceramic coating to seal...

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    For those that have the 3d max spider mats, how do they actually feel? Does it feel like you're stepping on a plastic/hard rubber mat or does it have a cushion-like feel to them? I've seen/read many reviews about the durability and fit, but no one seems to talk about the actual feel. I assume...
