    Model 3 Performance Spacers

    Update: I developed a vibration after hitting a pothole at very low speed. I removed the 5mm spacers and the vibration is completely gone. I am wondering if the $10 Amazon spacers were shoddy enough to somehow get crushed out of true when I hit the pothole thereby causing a vibration. What do...

    West Los Angeles wheel repair recommendations?

    I think I might have a bent wheel (thank you crazy LA weather + potholes). Does anyone have a rec for a good wheel repair shop, preferrably in West LA? I found a bunch on Yelp, but I'd prefer a recommendation from someone from this community that has actual experience. Thanks.

    Subframe Damage [Tesla claims normal wear and tear?]

    I am with you on this. I have had mine for 2 years since new and I feel like the car is junk imo (although, yes I agree that the tech is great). I had a spate of issues during the first couple of months, which were addressed, but issues that I feel shouldn't have even happened. Not too bad since...

    You can get a lower aspect ratio to minimize diameter difference. I think maybe 30’s? I plan to go 265/30

    Update: just now got 2022.44.25.2, and that with App 4.16 fixed it for me. Got my Ubertines back!

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

    Hey, man. May I ask: did you have to remove the rear bumper to install the Revozport diffuser? I’ve heard this is the case with the Y, was wondering about our 3’s. Thanks.

    Wrong Rims on Tesla App

    I think ever since I got 2022.40 (currently am on 2022.40.4.1) my app shows my car on Zero-G wheels, yet in-car (and actually on my car) shows Ubertines. I am on the latest app 4.14.4. Obviously not a huge deal, but for some reason it's been bothering me today 🤣. Anyone else have this issue...

    Alternative Jack Stand Point

    I’ve seen a video on YT where the guy jacked up the front corner as high as possible from the jacking point and then placed a “regular” jack stand minus the extension insert piece under the rear corner jacking point. He did say this was a temporary use as he had the tesla stands on order. Note...

    Model 3 steering wheel power connection?

    Oi, dumb question, indeed. Thank you, Perscitus. I was examining the wheel I was going to replace my stock one with and had a brain fart (I thought the loose connector was for the airbag). Anyway, I appreciate the slap to the back of my head. Cheers.

    Model 3 steering wheel power connection?

    This may be a dumb question, but how is power connected to the steering wheel from the car? Looking at it when it's apart, I don't see any plug to connect the wheel assembly to some power wire coming from the car. Is power connected via contact between the steering wheel housing and the steering...

    Safe to disconnect new 12V (15.5V) Lithium Ion battery for OBDII Harness?

    Added weight. JK. No, what I said was I am swapping the steering wheel for another one, which requires removing the airbag module to get to the bolt that holds the steering wheel on. I didn't say I was permanently getting rid of my airbag.

    Safe to disconnect new 12V (15.5V) Lithium Ion battery for OBDII Harness?

    OK, so I am going to disconnect the 12v and HV so I can swap out my steering wheel without fear of getting a faceful of airbag. After reading this thread, safe to assume that disconnecting power doesn't cause the car to lose memory settings, etc? I don't think it does, but just making sure...

    2021 Model 3P steering wheel design question

    I have a 2021 M3P and have a question about the steering wheel. Mine is smooth all around the rim with no circumferential seams and I thought it looked weird so I had Googled it last year. What I think I found was that the older design had the 2 seams at the top prior to 2021. I just now looked...

    Declining mobile service repairs

    Thanks guys. Not to sound shady, but I was hoping to “convince” them to do it under warranty, and if they didn’t then decline. But after some thought, it’s not a huge deal so I’ll prob just cancel the appt

    Declining mobile service repairs

    Just curious, does anyone know or have experience with declining repairs after mobile services comes out to you? i.e. if you schedule mobile to come to address an issue, they come out and inform you it will not be covered under warranty and that it will cost $xxx, and then you say “eh, I have to...

    Anyone ordering vanity plates for their M3?

    No one seems to know, I asked. I’m over it tho so I just told them to refund me.

    Has anyone removed the arm rest?

    Mine was a warranty claim so they brought it out. If you schedule service on the app, the SC will determine whether it’s mobile or you need to bring it in.

    Anyone ordering vanity plates for their M3?

    Christ man. I ordered mine LAST AUGUST and still haven’t gotten them. I chatted with DMV a couple of months ago and they said mine weren’t even sent to print yet. Once they are sent to print they take 2-3 months. I’m gonna just cancel mine. This is so stupid.

    Yeah I’m leaning heavily towards the Revozport also. Im just being impatient bc it has a 4 week lead time.

    Revozport or Razzo diffuser?

    I know it’s all up to me and it’s personal preference, but I still would like to hear other opinions. Which do you think looks better (for those into diffusers), Revozport or Razzo? Revozport has fewer vanes and overall looks thinner (which I feel makes it look more like a real diffuser). Razzo...

    M3P Bloxsport spacers and Lowering springs

    I have 18mm rear on my lowered M3P with Ubers. The wheel face seems to stick out past the fender a smidge, but hard to tell with the stretched 235’s. I’ll have to reassess the spacer situation when I get 255’s.

    Dashcam Unavailable Check USB

    Oi, still on 12.3.12. Today, I was unable to get the X to go away even after 5 usb drive pulls and 2 reboots. Wasted 15 minutes trying to do this before just saying eff it and driving off. I give up at this point.

    Unplug 14-50 Adapter or leave it plugged in all the time?

    Unplug 14-50 Adapter or leave it plugged in all the time?

    Related question: you guys think it would be detrimental to keep connecting and disconnecting the adapter at the mobile charger (leaving the plug in the outlet)? That’s what I’ve been doing, but I have to admit I sometimes cringe when I pull the connector off bc that sucker is on there pretty tight.

    Dashcam Unavailable Check USB

    Since a lot of us are on different firmware versions currently, I wonder how we will get the fix update exactly. Resist is on 20 and I am on 12, for example. Hopefully it’s not gonna be in a much later version and I have to go through all the updates in between first 😭

    Mine has been acting up big time today. Pulling the flash drive did nothing, neither did reformatting. Had to reboot twice for the x to go away. It had been working fine for a few days before today.

    Excuse my ignorance, but are you saying that if I reformat my usb drive then I will be OK and the “dashcam unavailable” will stop happening? I am post 12.3.2

    Dashcam Unavailable Check USB

    I’m not a computer guy but sounds like the same issue. Problem is, everyone seems to get a different update at different times so who know when we will all get the fix. Hopefully they can just push a stand-alone fix not attached to any particular software version (again, I’m not a computer guy).
