    Dented door - body shop wants full replacement

    I recently had a PDR repaired on a large dent on the tailgate, you can check out the post I made the other day. Same crap, I first tried the Tesla bodyshops. All the "Tesla Certified" bodyshop want to do is to replace the entire tailgate which cost 4k+ to 8k depending on which shop you go to...

    Model Y Tailgate Paintless Dent Repair result

    Thanks. I was skeptical too but he got it done and I've almost given up after 5 or 6 places turned me down. But for sure the guy said that tailgate crease area towards the end are the most difficult part as there are two metals fused together for reinforcement with very little room in that gap...

    Model Y Tailgate Paintless Dent Repair result

    I know this was discussed before and I even saw a similar dent posted by someone and most discussions was can't be fixed or impossible with paintless method but I took a leap of faith to get a minor parking lot incident repaired. Tesla Certified Bodyshop wanted 6K at one place to replace the...

    General maintenance?

    Just saw this post. I actually recently just changed the filter on my 2021 MY which does not have that giant bio defense filter, just the regular 2xAC filter. It was getting that mildew/vinegar smell and I bought this cleaner based on recommendation that I saw...

    Hi Everyone, Just received the 2021 Model Y 7 seater trunk/frunk mats this week that I purchased a while back from Teslashields. Just thought I share the photos and provide an honest review. It did take a long time, I preordered back in 5/30/2021 and received the Tesla Model Y (7 seater) Trunk...

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    Do you have any updates on the 2021 Model Y Trunk/Frunk Mat order #1532?

    Front license plate holder.

    It's secured behind the back of the bumper above the grill with these two movable hooks each side but it does slide into the grill. But it's not something you can easily remove. I only remove it once in a while if I want a deep wash on my car everywhere. I used to remove it often when I just...

    Are the original 7 seater floor mat orders getting the 3rd row floor mat in November/December also? Original order 1531, replacement order 1960. Just double checking here.

    So when can expect the actual 7 seater trunk and frunk mats to be delivered?

    Reposting it here. I have the 7 seaters trunk and frunk mat preordered back in May, order #1532, I noticed you changed the spec and have a new sku. Are you going to modify my order with the new spec because the old spec no longer exists in your website or how does it work?

    Modern spare delays - if you are ordering a new M3 and want one - order EARLY

    I just got the shipping notification as well. So looks like they're running about a 2-3 months delay if you're looking to get one.
  13. tempest2001

    Anyone use the modern spare yet?

    I have a Modern Spare tire kit on order since early May and it is still on order. I asked them for a status earlier this week and they have no idea when they'll have it in stock so if you order one expect a long delay.

    So is the people that already preordered for the 7 seaters trunk/frunk mat then still good or no?

    So I'm looking at my other order for the 7 seaters trunk/frunk mat (order#1532), when you clicked on the product it gives a 404 html page error. So what does that mean? I tried searching for the7 seaters trunk/frunk and nothing comes up now. I've already been charged for this preorder.

    I went to put the driver side on, but I don't see the gap. I think maybe I got the new model? I only see a small gap on the right side. And I think the crease on the driver side mat is supposed to be there. It's harder to see at night, I'll take a look tomorrow again and I need to vacuum the...

    I got that same crease on the driver side but also my second row the middle has a crease as well. I got it out in the sun to see if it'll go away.

    Modern spare delays - if you are ordering a new M3 and want one - order EARLY

    Shoot, I ordered Modern Spare back in early May, I'm still waiting. But it's not just them, I ordered the sunshade from Covercraft back in May also and it now says estimated shipping in August. It was estimated June, then pushed to July, and a couple of weeks ago pushed to August. Literally it...

    cost/ benefit of installing a nema plug vs tesla wall connector

    Rates will vary by state and it sounds like by type in your area. But in Southern California, we have this wall charger rebate for $250 but has to be the wall connector, 14-50 plug does not qualify. The electrician here charges the same for Nema or wall connector, they indicated to me most of...

    I think the trunk/frunk mat for 7 seaters are still in their development phase based on the last message I saw. Only floor mats being sent this round for the preordered people. Unless I'm mistaken, and I also have that preordered as well. If it comes together great news too.

    Same here, just have new order number and nothing else. Hopefully I didn't get stuck like yours.

    Vendor Floor Mats

    I got the same as you no tracking, hoping to receive them this week. Tracking number can be generated and cancelled any time, actually shipping them out physically is probably more important to me. But at this rate, I think we'll be lucky if it gets shipped physically next week or the week after.

    I got an email fulfillment notification that's about it says shipping tracking number to come later.

    Dang lucky you. I'm still waiting been checking emails and login to their website daily. Hope it works out though, I would hate to have to cancel after all this time waiting. But the LDCRS is about to release theirs as well. I guess that's my fallback plan.

    I don't think any of us have received it yet. Preordered in May. I'm giving them the benefits of the doubt but starting to lose faith also. 2 weeks ago the item arrived in the US, last Wednesday it arrived in their warehouse for packing/shipping, it's 1 1/2 weeks later no shipping information...

    Just noticed this paint defect, is this a major issue?

    That's a good idea, will look into the mobile dent/chip/bumper repair shop to see what they say about this type of repair.

    Just noticed this paint defect, is this a major issue?

    I don't think it bothers me that much, main thing was just making sure it's not going to have any long term issue. And they had to fix some alignment stuff a few weeks ago which took like 2 weeks but it was done in service center not bodyshop. And then after that I had my car in the detailer...
  39. tempest2001

    Just noticed this paint defect, is this a major issue?

    Ok so I just came back from service center. Basically the deal is just like what we expected, only way to fix it is their approved bodyshop and they will only fix it this one time I can't delay it say for a later date and it will takes 10 days to get it done. Furthermore, they got to literally...

    Just noticed this paint defect, is this a major issue?

    Honestly that was going to be my plan when I hit the service center. 1) Is this cosmetic only and not some bubble caused by moisture undeneath or something 2) If it is, can you touch up the paint here at service center by your detailer or service staff 3) If it's cosmetic and you can't fix it...

    Just noticed this paint defect, is this a major issue?

    Yeah they changed my mobile service to service center appointment to inspect further. If they send it to a detailer for touch up I think I'm good with it, but bodyshop to get the whole trunk repainted I'll need to think about it, especially if it's only cosmetic but I'm not an expert in car...

    Here's a closeup photo of it, I honestly can't tell what kind of paint defect this is.
  44. tempest2001

    Just noticed this paint defect, is this a major issue?

    Here's another view. You can't see it until you open the trunk and look at it directly. The only thing is I don't know if this is bubbling/peeling or what kind of effect, you can feel the bumpiness but it is slippery to the touch like they specifically put a clearcoat over it and yet you can...
  45. tempest2001

    Just noticed this paint defect, is this a major issue?

    Mobile service actually said it looks like based on the photo I need to take the car into a service center and may ended up in a bodyshop. I'm debating on whether to do it or not. I asked them if this is a cosmetic issue or any long term damage like peeling rusting. But at least I got it...

    Late response, but I received an updated drill template from Ottoplate and it works now and I was able to drill it and just put it on last night to test and it fits fine now. I haven't driven with it to see how stable it is. So if you received a kit that doesn't look right, do not drill, contact...

    Thanks I'm glad they fixed yours and hopefully they can fix mine also! Mine looks like they put the clear coat over the area hopefully it's fixable without going to a bodyshop.
