    Rattle - Rear seat (driver side)

    It's a plastic plate rattling against the metal back of the seat. Unlatch the seat, there should be a hole where the latch goes in, stick your fingers in and down. You should be able to feel the plastic piece and make it rattle. It's quite large. Secure it some how. I used some electrical tape.

    Model 3 Rattle/Squeak

    This is correct, There is a small metal cylinder that connects the smaller back seat to the larger back seat, it goes through this metal loop/hook that is welded to the body. There is some kind of plastic washer in there. When you go over bumps the larger seat shifts left to right causing the...

    leave your car in the sun - sometimes that helps. I have a few similar ones under my PPF , I guess its tough to keep debris out of these large pieces

    Thanks for the reply Thanks for the replies folks. I wanted to provide an update. Just made a Dunkin run, after fiddling with alot of stuff. 1. My passenger seat was making the loud springy rattles when going over bumps. Hitting the seat from the back replicated it. Moving it around made it...

    Rocker Panel Repair Results

    This paint texture on rocker panels is quite common. My 2018 Audi had it - I think it's better at deflecting rocks and mitigating chips?

    Trade-in has not been paid off yet

    After numerous phonecalls/texts/emails issue appears to be resolved, my loan was with Bank of America, and BoA was having some back end technical issue that was preventing my account from closing. Very helpful dude at the Deadham Tesla delivery center took care of it for me.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    There's like 5 or 6 Xpel places around here, they all have the typical exotics on their pages etc.. Craft Detailing was really the only ones that had tesla specific stuff up, so that made me feel a bit comfortable and the folks I spoke to seem to know their way around it. I'm quite nervous about it.

    Hi - New Tesla owner here. I just took delivery today. I ordered a Nema 14-50 adapter online from the tesla site about a month ago, and it's still in Transit. If anyone nearby has one they can loan/sell to me, I would be grateful. Loan would be maybe a week? Thank you! -Rem

    If you really want to mask it, I bet some good ole tesla mudflaps will cover that right up.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I would not get hung up on those defects, I doubt they are noticable from a 6ft view. You can probably wetsand it down to make it less noticable. or throw some PPF over it to mask it. You can probably mitigate it with a good polishing compound as well. I bet that damage will occur over time...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I was able to submit the payment today - I had to call Tesla HQ, Tesla Deadham, My SA, Tesla Finance - then some dude from Tesla Deadham called me back and told me that he was able to fix this, and something had to be manually fixed. I'm not sure why it was so difficult.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yeah. I think there is no option but to change them. Tsportline has replica uberturbines that I'm eyeing. Or I might get the track package for the summer and throw some winter tires on the stock uberturbines

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I'm seeing rumors of an Audi A4 Etron - which as me excited, hoping they'll do an Audi R/S4 Etron, but that may still be a few years away based on the same platform as the Taycan.

    This company is a giant troll. I can't wait till other car companies come up with competing cars in the same bracket as the Model 3 at the same quality.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I think we live in the age of instant gratification (and going forward I'm strongly of the opinion that it's how it should be) and a modern company like Tesla is failing at it, especially because it's kind of going backwards from the rest of the industry with how it's handling things. I think...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Tesla order process is like "Who's line is it anyways" - where nothing makes sense and the dates are made up. My SA also told me to complete my profile ASAP if I want a car right away, so that's what I did. I feel like Q2 orders would have been completed sooner if it wasn't for the containment...
