I always try and park beside another Tesla... because safety in numbers? and because hope they also have the dashcam in case of hit and runs etc. Sometimes I still do it because I'm a creature of habit when I'm not driving the Tesla, umm awkward.

Uniden R7 - mounted as high up as possible on Driver side of the mirror without interfering with the sun visor. Have been looking at the blendmounts, it would hang much lower than optimal for detecting over crests etc (apparently) but would be easier to connect into the 12V adapter in the console.

Thanks for the replies everyone... I was going past Burke Center and saw the Exxon was open, got it done no problem.

Any recommendations for Tesla friendly state inspection/emissions places? (new to VA registration requirement before my appointment at DMV) I called the Tesla service center at Tysons Corner and they are booked out the next few weeks and suggested going to any other place, but didn't have an...

I have a 2018 M3 18" aero wheel with a slightly bent rim on the inner side... it's an easy repair for someone with the right tools etc. It was just enough to cause a slow leak ~5psi per night. $50 I got it switched out with my winter set of wheels and had the tire shop remove the tire etc...

I just met a guy in Austin with the tesbros chrome delete kit for 2 years on his model 3... still looks like new, also looked like he did a careful install. On my car almost 3 years ago I did a DIY vinyl cutout from an open source template on the handles only and it's still looking 99% ok...

I'm in for Friday... my first non-tire upgrade for my model 3 🥳

Dec 2018 LR AWD 41500 miles. 3 sets of tires (2 sets of the MXM4s each got ~15k miles worn to threads), now on Pilot A/S3+ which suck ~20% range and have worse road noise but superior traction. 2 wheel alignments, seems to have finally fixed uneven wear but rears burn at more than double the...

Thanks @Mikeeee ! Nice meeting you yesterday, looking forward to installing the roof rack this weekend 😎

Slow motion dumpster fire happening in my experience (Austin TX) ... started the application 4 months ago, have had 5 different project advisors, they still haven't even got the permit. Today after I've emailed them yet again to ask for an update, they've requested a new contract without any...

I've had 3 sets of the MMX4 tires on my 2018 AWD M3, rears wear at about double the rate of the fronts. Each set has lasted ~13k miles, mixed freeway and country roads. I did get an alignment done by the service center, which improved the wear patterns on the individual tires, but it still eats...

Also try Austin Tesla Owners Club... they had an event at XPEL a few months ago, you might get more local recommendations. I DIY'd some chrome delete wrap about 2.5 years ago and it's just starting to look a bit worn on the door handles.

yeah last Summer I had the humiliating experience of expecting to charge at Georgetown, was down to last 3 miles of range and there were no chargers anywhere within range... ended up having to ask places if they had a power outlet I could use with the slow charger that thankfully I still had in...

Mine is under the mirror, annoyingly just off center 😳 In retrospect, I'd place higher up on passenger side of mirror.

awesome! I've heard about this program, it would be great to see this happen in TX... I've signed up, looking forward to learn more.

I recently installed Michelin pilot A/S 3 set of tires on the OEM 18" aero wheels (LR AWD) and the road noise is awful. Performance is definitely better than the MXM4s* in terms of traction and colder weather but omfg the noise... I will be switching them out Spring 2021. *I've had 2 sets of...
