    IKON Motorsports Front Lip for Model 3: A Review

    I was recently in downtown Chicago in a parking lot that forced you one way through 4-6" deep potholes (craters) to get out of it. Needless to say, my Ikon PP lip was a casualty - cracked and tore the right side off (but nothing else damaged luckily). This reinforced why I went with the IKON PP...

    Should I attempt to have Tesla adjust trunk alignment?

    My 2021 M3P was really out of alignment when I got it. I had mobile service give it a shot while they were out for another issue, but 6 months later it started to shift again - say 1/2 inch out - so bad it bent the power strut and tried to eat itself closing the trunk one day. I decided to drag...

    OK, then don't try to understand it, I don't care. Looking at your post history you a yoke h8tr extraordinaire. Don't know why you feel the need to troll all kinds of threads reaffirming that choice, but to each his own I always say.

    Model 3/Y Yoke Style Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel [hansshow]

    Yes the visibility of the dash I guess - I like it - feels a lot more open and even more minimalist than stock. I'm 5'10" if you're concerned about my stature.

    Model 3/Y Yoke Style Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel [hansshow]

    My guess is that will not work and that the connector for the heated wheel is not present - it could be easily verified by pulling the airbag, you would see an unused separate connector for the heating element if is wired.

    Feels fine to me - I don't notice any issues - I rather like the large portion to rest my hand(s) on when I'm driving on autopilot.

    Model 3/Y Yoke Style Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel [hansshow]

    I received my heated, white yoke from Hansshow and installed it no problem. Transferred my existing metal wheel controls over no problem. I like it, it is high quality and feels OEM to me. It takes just a few minutes to get used to driving with it, and the change in visibility is pretty huge...

    My first guess is that literally no one dies with the wheel pointed perfectly straight, my second guess is that there may be some way overthinking going on, but feel free to talk yourself into whatever you want. To each his own. Live and let be I say. Official car owner

    Well then say so, rather than play ignorant. There are tons of reviews online. Here is my review of the most common one. I bought one. Cheap piece of garbage. The magnets were way too weak. First time I spun the wheel it flew off on its own. I returned it the day after I got it and never tried...

    There are a ton of em for the OEM wheel - search on amazon for "Tesla steering booster" or the like. From what I heard it started with someone jamming an orange in the wheel LOL.

    I don't think the hanshow wheels have weights - I think they would have mentioned it, but it is good (if not wishful) thinking. I' am hoping that as FSD improves, in the future Tesla stops using the wheel force, and instead in cabin camera to have a better and more accurate idea of driver...

    Tesla collects all your information

    Welcome to the forum, it is an interesting first post. You seem to state outright that Tesla is recording and collecting in-cabin audio (and possibly video) and that they are selling this data and telemetry data to 3rd parties to monitize it. It as a pretty bold statement, but I am open to learn...

    Federal tax credit EVSE

    Good advice is not to listen to anyone that says there will be a $5000 fine during audit for an incorrectly documented tax credit claim. Clearly advice from someone who has not actually traversed an audit ;-)

    IKON Motorsports Front Lip for Model 3: A Review

    The PP version uses screws but they all go in to factory locations. Tape is used on the top edge. I believe the other versions might be different and use self-tapping screws on the underbody.

    Should I get white interior?

    I agree on the tip mentioned a few times in this thread to self apply a ceramic coating to keep the white super easy to keep clean. I installed GYEON Quartz LeatherShield - it was very easy to do and so far has kept my white interior very easy to maintain. Regular vacuuming seems to be my...

    Mine came from AliExpress today - Install was pretty easy - I used some thin wire to fish from the bottom up, and I did enlarge large the middle hole but a little with a drill bit. I did not remove the bumper and I did not need to get my hand down there. I did remove the taillights and the 10MM...

    Yep I have a really white interior ;) Actually the armrest is white now since thes pictures, as are all the door/window switches. I'm not loosing sleep over matching the interior white's myself.

    I contacted Hansshow and inquired about a heated steering wheel for my '21 M3P. being in Chicago, I'd like to keep the heated wheel option. They worked out the details, created an invoice and are making me a Trapezoidal Yoke wheel, heated. I specified White Nappa Leather w/black stitching...

    IKON Motorsports Front Lip for Model 3: A Review

    Haha got ya. Most people also don't have a nice Tesla in their garage. It's good to not be most people. Admittedly the lift did help a ton with installing the lip (which I did twice), but I'm sure it can be readily done without. I did install a lip on my last car (Lexus IS) in the driveway. It...

    Model 3 bike rack

    Another huge thumbs up for the 1-up from me - it is super solid, lighter, quality construction and I really like that it completely fold up into a 10"x10"x34" carton so I can store it under my garage stairs (no need to hang it on a wall). it readily expands 2 4 bikes and I've never had a rack...

    Car wash product recommendations please. Thank you.

    Meguirs Gold Class for me - cheap easy to find everywhere, works great in a foam cannon. $23 for a gallon on amazon. When 2 bucket washing I add an ounce or two of ONR.

    Aftermarket Rear Diffuser's Thread (pictures+discussion)

    True - I did not notice that your diffuser did not have the indentations for the screws. They are probably an inch or two deep - that area is well off the original bumper and there is a bit of a pillar there to attach to the bumper. I assume they screwed into the black plastic or some specific...

    My MCARCAR KIT diffuser I ordered from Amazon on April 23 finally came today after 9 weeks. Overall the build quality of the piece and fitment were very good. I suspect these are all coming from the same builder. It only had one row of probably 3/8 gray foam tape (cheap quality, not 3M", so I...

    Aftermarket Rear Diffuser's Thread (pictures+discussion)

    That's what the Chinese sellers tend to do in my experience - They say "It's too large, we have to ship by ship." which = "That want what we actually charged you for plane shipment, so we decided to to save a few bucks, make some money and ship it by ship." I find the "there's no way to air...
