    Model 3 DIY Light kits: Review and installation tips, with pics

    I did end up purchasing this kit because how easy it seemed to install. Much easier than the Hansshow one I had seen. Additionally, I think some of the other kits involved an on/off switch which would get pretty annoying after a while. The lightning bug kit turns on/off automatically when...

    Navigation voice with Hansshow audio upgrade muffled since 2023.26.7 upgrade

    Thanks for the video. I have the version F installed on my 2021 M3. I was relieved that my navigation seemed to be “ok” after my software update. I had assumed that the “muffled” sound would be more pronounced. I might be impacted as well given that I really can’t tell much of a difference...

    Bring back EAP (to USA)

    I’m watching YouTube videos to see if I need/want this. I think I know the answer but the “want” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The couple of drinks this evening is making it really hard NOT to press that button 😂. Any members with Enhanced AP think it’s worth it?

    if you have extra cash to mod Tesla model 3 SR+, what mod would you get?

    What audio upgrade did you use? Hansshow? I just ordered the version F (full speaker activation, addition of missing 2 rear speakers, and subwoofer). Can’t wait to hear the difference.

    SR+ Hansshow Audio Upgrade

    Thanks for the update! Is it possible to take a screenshot of those updated instructions? The link seems to be broken…on my end at least.

    Experienced Tesla audio installers near Chicago?

    I just saw your other post…did you end up finding someone?

    Tire Rotation

    Got my M3 a couple weeks ago and realized that I could buy certificates on the tires through Discount Tire. $180 for all 4 tires is great for the peace of mind…additionally, I’ll be able to get free tire rotations and balancing.

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    First, I have to say that these mats are awesome! They fit perfectly!!! I swear they even made a “snap” sound like they meant to be placed there. However, as others have mentioned the frunk mat is a little too big. I even tried to push it down to see if it can settle in place but it just keeps...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    So given some bad experiences with the delivery process, I’m wondering what I should look for in my delivery. I know @notknown has gone through a lot and (in my opinion) too much for a new car owner. I already have the checklist saved but wondering what is the “deal breaker”? What makes you...

    You’re right…not too many of us here. I did get a VIN last Saturday but I have a different configuration to you (white/white/19 in wheels). I ordered on 6/11 so maybe you’re coming up on your VIN assignment in the next couple of weeks?

    Mustve been REALLLLLY hard to leave her after waiting for her to show up for so long! I might do the same actually....going to do PPF, tints (xpel xr plus), and ceramic coating. I have to look into the alcantara center console you listed. I already have like 6 accessories ready to put on my...

    I keep trying the same thing. Like you, im assuming that my M3 isnt ready yet. My current EDD is Aug 16-Aug 22.

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    Hello! I received the mats as well but am still awaiting my M3....should be in the next couple of days. Hopefully my frunk mat fits and its a moot point but in case it doesnt fit, would you be able to order more to replace the incorrect frunk mats?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    wooohoo!!! That delivery date was quick! How did you schedule it? Did you call your SA or was everything done on your account page? Other than the tesla vision prompt and the VIN showing up, nothing else has changed on my account page. Ive seen other people post that it takes a couple days...

    Got the Tesla vision prompt and a VIN!!! I changed to the white interior on Friday and had accepted that it would delay my delivery! Sooo happy! Hopefully delivery comes soon!

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Guys and gals! I’m about to do something stupid. Watching more YouTube videos and patiently waiting to get my M3 (order date 6/11 and my EDD is now Aug 17-25)….but I ordered a White exterior and black interior. Going to the Tesla dealership and ask them to change my order to a white interior...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I can only think of having a lapse in car insurance for them saying that. Having a lapse in your insurance history is not good but that only applies when you have a registered vehicle without any insurance. In this case, you would have sold your car and not have a lapse. Different insurance...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Yeah this is not a thing. You can add/remove vehicles at any point. No insurance company can make you keep a car insured when you dont own it. Removing a vehicle and adding another vehicle 2 weeks later does not increase premiums....other than the normal increase of insuring a more expensive...

    My wife is the same way! :) I think ive watched every single Tesla model 3 video on YouTube. Shes's been a trooper and watched a good amount of them with me so now shes a semi-tesla expert. My EDD is in the single digits (Aug 16-Aug 15th) for the first time. Come on VIN!!!!

    Was the car you picked up the same specs as your ordered M3? Im in the Chicagoland area and have the same specs as your order. My order date was 6/11. Which i couldve been matched to that car! Enjoy though!

    I just missed out on a white/white with the 19 in wheels. Same configuration as my ordered M3 but with the white interior which i wouldve been ok with. I was too busy checking on the Cubs fire sale. ughhh

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I have the same configuration as you! Hopefully our 19” wheels don’t cause more of a delay. I ordered on 6/11…hopefully we get our VIN in the next couple of days

    Killing me! I ordered it with the black interior and have been having some regret not getting the white interior....I dont want to make any changes since ive waited so long and dont want to reset my clock....your message is not helping me with this decision! lol

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    The only communication I had after the order was a “welcome to the Tesla family” email where they give you summary of the delivery process and other tips. I emailed my SA a couple weeks ago to see if he could provide additional info on my EDD and he replied back within a day.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Mine moved back a week from Aug 9-Aug 29 to Aug 16-Sept 5. I just have to keep telling myself “EDD means nothing…EDD means nothing…etc”. Or at least try and convince myself of that lol.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Hey lucky! Welcome to the waiting club. I’m sure you will soon figure out, the EDD will change daily and in random directions. As others have mentioned, the EDD really means nothing until your VIN is assigned. Your SA won’t be able to tell you much this early in your order.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    My EDD moved further out to Aug 10-Aug 30th…order date June 11th. I was somewhat hoping for a VIN this weekend but I guess that won’t be happening. The wait continues.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Additionally, these delays are not just a “Tesla” issue. While the lack of SA communication can be frustrating, I appreciate the upfront lead time so that we can have a reasonable expectation of when to expect our M3….although the changing EDD doesn’t help and probably the main cause of our...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    As with everyone else, my EDD has stayed constant for a couple days now (August 3-August 23; Order Date 6/11). Not sure if I should feel optimistic about this or worried. Worried if they havent moved many vehicles in the past couple of days thus the "waiting line" isnt moving :-(

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Positive. That is their initial offer. Once you click on "Review My Offer" in that email and create an account, you'll see the page update with the 30 day expiration. On this page, they will ask you for additional paperwork to set up the appointment. I sold my 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid (after...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Its a frustrating situation for everyone. Like you said, hopefully the current EDD is off and you get it sooner rather than later. One suggestion i have in regards to the lucrative used car market is to use carvana. Once you lock in your quote, its good for 30 days. If you dont get the Tesla...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Agreed! Along with these disappearing VINs and some of the car defects (possibly due to the big end of quarter rush), I’m actually ok with waiting a couple more weeks to get my M3. Hopefully we avoid those scenarios.

    White interior M3 - need help with choosing tint %

    Definitely helped! I (will) have a black interior so using 35% on them will help them look darker than they really are. On a separate note, ive read in a couple posts that allude to the tints not being dark enough to block enough of the heat. I found this great video that shows the heat...

    White interior M3 - need help with choosing tint %

    I live in Illinois and worried about getting pulled over…35% is legal here. I’m debating getting 30% in hopes that they won’t notice but would give me a slightly darker tint. Still waiting on my M3 so lots of time to decide.

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    Thank you so much for detailing these steps! Sorry if this is a stupid question but is there an advantage to having financing through Tesla instead of DCU if they are at the same rate? Would the benefit be that Tesla would offer a 72 month term versus DCU offering only 65 months?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    So lucky! I think these stories will just make my obsession worse. I’m still VERY early in the process...ordered 6/11. I feel bad for those April orders that haven’t received anything yet!

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Definitely good problem to have! I’m in Chicago also and I ordered the same day you did. I wish I had the car ready! I sold my 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid yesterday to carvana and it was such an easy process. It’ll be nice to not have a car payment for ~2 months but I rather have the car early :)

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    Same with me! I thought that Tesla wouldn’t give me their 2.49% floor rate after getting the 3.6% with penfed. I just placed the order on Friday and applied for financing right away (premature apparently). I did get the Tesla 2.49 but I’m going to wait a little before I try at other places.
