2021 m3p here. Installed.

Yes. SC here

Confirmed. I got a 97 the first day. 100’s all other days. Installing now.

Downloading and got email. 100 score and >1000 miles.

You are correct. Outside those venues my Tesla crowd interactions are limited to only a few individuals. Again, i really hope I’m wrong (I’ve put in the work!). I see so many folks posting about their “100” that it leaves me very skeptical.

Nice work. As I said in another thread, I’m of the opinion I won’t see FSD tomorrow. I interpret Elon’s statement to be 1000 or so have a true perfect score. My guess is they’ll ignore mileage and use a score filter for 100.0 across the fleet for anyone who pushed the button. Too many “100’s” on...

I do miss the m3p acceleration (and subsequent full regen when I’m way over the speed limit in 3-4 seconds), but you are correct - this isn’t that hard. Even half of my highway miles are done in a highway zone where lane closures/merges and traffic/braking patterns are very inconsistent. In...

Being really careful, coming off the throttle only partially and smoothly, and leaving distance between the car in front. Plus, using anticipation skills to try to determine when things like yellow lights may occur. I’m over 1000 miles and showing a 0.0% hard braking score. Maybe 50% of my...

My 1,037 miles of driving hope you’re correct!

Absolutely possible. I’m just stating my opinion. Time will tell. Hope I’m wrong.

I think it means perfect in every category. Literally zeros showing in every category. I have an overall 100 score and well over 1000 miles logged, pushed the button at 7 AM Eastern the first day, but still less than 1% confidence I’ll get it on initial rollout. If I scan through all of the...

Thanks. Mine back to this behavior as well.

I do. A few times per week. I have the car come get me at the front door at work, especially if it’s raining outside. I tend to leave after most, so the lot is almost empty and the path between the spot I park in and the front door is a straightforward path.

Never mind i guess. It started working today after 3 days of the same unavailable error.

Anyone with a vehicle with FSD and radar lose smart summon with this update? I’m getting a “smart summon not available” error when trying to use smart summon ever since the upgrade. Service is sending the issue to software but no response or fix yet. I’m curious if others are seeing this...

The weather stripping “missing” on the driver’s side is normal. Mine (Dec 2020 build) is the same and I investigated heavily at the time. The trim was modified to allow the hinge motor assembly to correctly fit without interference. I confirmed with Tesla as well as numerous other owners to...

$400 for both. There’s a mobile paint service in my area that I trust and who did a fantastic job. I honesty cannot tell the paint isn’t factory. And kept me from having to leave the vehicle at a shop for days.

correct. I purchased mine directly from Tesla. Took a few days to arrive. Installed on my 12/30/20 delivery 2021 m3p. Great fit, front tray slides up. Leaves extra space below the tray as well and does not interfere with the USB-C ports (i have a USB-C to USB-A adapter plugged in and the tray...

it slides forward

mine does

not sure about the prior models, but I received the updated one from Tesla yesterday and I like it a lot. Fits my 2021 m3p perfectly, enough room under the front storage tray to store my 2 Xbox controllers, and exact match of the felt material so it feels like an OEM product. Happy to have made...

won’t hurt to ask. The inventory car I found was near Boston (was in transit at the time) and I had it diverted to a delivery to Charlotte. There was a $1k transportation fee noted to transport the vehicle from Boston to Charlotte.

If you installed PPF on your rockers, have them be REALLY careful on the lower portion. Some vehicles appear to have paint which wasn’t properly cured at the factory, such that when PPF is removed it pulls the paint with it. See an example attached.

At the end of 4Q20 when it was clear Tesla wasn’t going to be able to deliver on the commitment they made to get me a m3p by year’s end I started hounding the inventory site for available vehicles. Upon finding an available vehicle, I used the online chat with Tesla and asked them to share the...

won’t be as simple as pushing an update. I’m on 2021.4.10 on a Dec 30 delivered 2021 M3P and no steering wheel heating option in the software. Seems the same version of the software can show different options depending on the hardware configuration. now whether or not my car has a secret...

2021 M3P here, picked up Dec 30, and updated to 2021.4.3 shortly after it released. No idea why some get the update and others do not. Just wanted to share since you asked about this model specifically.

i likely could have. However, the nearest SC is 2 hours away. So likely a full day trip just to have them look at the damage. Then another trip for them to fix it, which would have involved a multi-day paint repair (closest approved shop is over 1.5 hours away). So this one just wasn’t worth the...

The PPF originally went on the car approximately 3-4 weeks after the car left the factory. Typically should be enough time for the clear coat to harden, but there was clearly an issue here as the paint pulled up with almost no effort and was very gooey. I didn’t take up the issue with Tesla. I...

When was your M3 built? If late 2020, there is a small possibility that the paint on the lower rockers is not adhered properly to the panel. I had a temporary piece of PPF installed and when it was taken off prior to installing the permanent piece the paint pulled from the surface of the car...

I reported the issue to Tesla via the app, however the appointment to inspect was going to take a few weeks (which would have only been a diagnostic visit), and the service center is a 2-hour drive for me. So i decided to have the paint repaired locally at my expense. I didn’t have the patience...

Did you have any paint flake off above the rock guard cut line? I’ve also had paint issues on the rockers (see pics), but nothing above that line where the paint changes texture.

i had a Yukon which had similar looking damage. Peeled off the Suntek film and boom - like brand new. I think there’s a chance you can salvage that bumper as long as it’s not dented/deformed. Even if it is, a PDR shop may be able to pull it back for a pretty minor cost.

this was a great suggestion. Picked up this one and much easier to use than my normal spray bottle. Thanks!

While not an exact situation, I did pickup my car at Charlotte and got NC temp plates valid for 30 days. My delivery was 12/30 and I received my package of registration info via FedEx on Saturday, January 24th, which I used to register the car in SC. They told me the paperwork would take 25 days...

best of luck - the waiting game is the hardest part. Its totally worth the wait though. :)

March. If I’m playing the guessing game, being in IL you would take delivery somewhere around March 20.

thanks Ken. Yes, there is paint remaining, although until I have a plan forward I wasn’t intending to pick at it further. May be an option to show Tesla just how pliable the paint is and how it’s not sticking to the surface, so thanks for the input. I do have the plastic still. The paint is so...

Thanks. Are you referring to contamination between the metal surface and the paint or the paint and the PPF? Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks. I’ve been a user of PPF for many years and have removed film myself on some vehicles. As you’ve noted, the bond of the paint to the vehicle was much stronger than the film to the paint. i am aware of best practices when removing film, such as to remove at a shallow angle. None of this...

December, 2020

I had planned on having the entire front end protected in PPF, along with the rockers and lower door panels. Upon install the installer noticed that there were a large number of rock chips on the rockers even though the car was only a week old. I ordered the touch up kit and the installed placed...

yeah looked very odd to me as well, but appears to be correct, as it’s the installed design on multiple vehicles now. I cancelled my SC visit for the issue. The weather stripping on the driver’s side appears to be smooth and correctly installed so I think they just modified the design due to the...

no need - I’ve got the answer i need from the polite responses above. Thanks anyways.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated.

Thanks. I do have the powered trunk. Would anyone with a powered trunk be willing to check theirs to see if they can see the strut through the opening and if there is trim installed or not in that location? TIA

Tried searching but no luck finding a response. On my m3p the rubber trim around the rear windshield is not “filling the gap” between the glass and trunk lid for approximately 10” on the driver’s side. On the passenger side, the trim extends all the way to meet up with the next piece of trim...

yes

For those that want a vehicle but have been pushed to March, a Red/Black new vehicle just popped into inventory. I think if you buy it via the app or have your SA VIN match you that you’d be able to take delivery of this one quick. Mine shipped from Boston to NC and arrived in just a few days.

Awesome and congrats!!! Way to sneak in under the wire. :)
