    Any recommendations to help make an automated car wash a less stressful experience?

    Be careful with touchless car washes. Their chemicals discolor the black trim around the windows.

    Dash rattle, hot glue fix per factory

    This guy fixed his dash rattle in a different spot with foam. It's in front of the speaker grill, not the trim piece.

    Plastic vibration noise inside coming from dash area

    I've shoved some weather stripping and foam batting down next to the VIN plate between the dash cover and windshield. That usually takes care of it and if the sound returns, I make sure the batting/weather stripping is packed in nicely, pressing it with a flat panel-removal tool.

    How to remove recent audio sources from "Recents" list?

    Is there a way to clear recent audio sources (not favorites, just some I've listened to in the past)? For example, I no longer want the Christmas channels from TuneIn to appear in my Recents/Favorites list, but I don't see a way to remove them. Also, are Recents/Favorites linked to a driver...

    Report: Tesla, Hertz Negotiating Timeline of Massive Model 3 Order

    "Hoops" as in placing an order online, then contacting them amend your order before delivery, etc. to eventually get the "$35k" version. I don't see a $35k version on the website, so isn't it still an "off menu" item that takes some extra steps to actually order...

    Hertz Rental Experience [review of renting a model 3 from Hertz]

    While the credit card you use to pay for the rental almost always carries rental car insurance (so ALWAYS decline the rental company's optional/way-over-priced coverage), it may be worth a call to your CC company to see how they handle this "dent = totaled" BS. Probably uncharted territory and...

    Report: Tesla, Hertz Negotiating Timeline of Massive Model 3 Order

    OK, "doesn't really exist" was maybe a bit off. It does exist, but you have to order off menu and know the hoops to jump through. Not unlike going to any car dealer lot and finding a base model with no options or add-ons in their inventory (or available in the region). Only the "EX", "LX"...

    Report: Tesla, Hertz Negotiating Timeline of Massive Model 3 Order

    Yes, the M3's purpose was to make an EV affordable for the masses. While the "$35,000 Tesla" doesn't really exist, the M3 is a proof of concept that there is a market for a more affordable EV with good range. If someone wants to buy an expensive EV that's unique, get a Lucid or Audi Etron.

    Android Tesla app Scheduled departure bug?

    I have the same problem, but was able to change and save the scheduled departure time by quickly clicking OK before the time reverted back to what it was set to previously. May have to do this twice; once for the hour (quickly click OK), then again for the minute.

    Plastic vibration noise inside coming from dash area

    I had a dash rattle in my 2021 M3 SR+ (got it December 2020). I've had it in THREE TIMES. Each of those were covered under warranty. The rattle has returned after each of those 3 visits where they "fixed" it. I've wedged a piece of weather stripping between the dashboard and front speaker...

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    And why cover the license plate in these photos? Do people cover their plates when out in public? Isn't the fear the same, whether someone can see your plate in an online picture vs out in public?

    Correct touch up paint for standard M3 18” wheels?

    He sure sprayed it on thick and from too close. I'd mask off the tire, rest of the wheel, fender and spray lighter, from further away and several light coats. But m most seem to use the touch up brush with good results.

    Got some curb rash. I can clean it up. Recommendations on paint for 18"

    Factor in vehicle weight as well. A heavy pickup does more damage to roads than a Prius. Miles driven x vehicle weight x CO2 emission = your road use tax

    1 year of supercharging for delivery of m3/my if delivery before 12/31

    How does this work with the 1000 miles of supercharging we get when using a referral link? If we get a year of free supercharging, those 1000 miles shouldn't start being counted until Jan 2022.

    1 year of supercharging for delivery of m3/my if delivery before 12/31

    The article says the incentive is 1 year of free supercharging, not 1000 miles of supercharging.
