    Replace stained white seat back?

    Sounds like the "leather" is permanently dyed. As a last ditch effort right before you pay for a replacement, I would try some sort of vinyl topcoat to see if you can live with it. I've used SEM in the past to re-coat a leather steering wheel and it worked fine...

    Tint percentage

    I'll echo the 20% on all sides. Looks better in my opinion than mismatching the front and rear doors.

    Almost a year with M3LR and bam, 5 car collision. Total cost to repair? Please tell me it’s not totaled?

    Looks very similar to an accident I had: replaced hood, front bumber, left fog light, frunk tub, and various brackets. I actually zip tied the damaged bumper to the wheel well and kept driving it for a couple of weeks while the body shop was waiting for parts to arrive (this was also during the...

    M3P tires.

    Part of the problem is their unique size (235/35-20). A much more common size is 245/35-20. Lots of reports on these forusm that the 245's fit just fine. I'm in central CA so I don't need winter tires, but when the time comes to replace my tires, I will go with the more common 245/35-20 because...

    Has anyone bought the Tesla-branded Model 3 Performance Pedals?

    Yes - it was a cover over a "standard looking" pedal.

    Has anyone bought the Tesla-branded Model 3 Performance Pedals?

    The brake pedal replaces the factory rubber pedal. The accelerator stretches over the existing pedal. They both had a very solid and secure feel.

    Has anyone bought the Tesla-branded Model 3 Performance Pedals?

    My first M3 was a SR+ and I bought the $15 pedals from Amazon, then I bought a M3P which came with the Tesla Performance pedals. They both looked and felt the same to me.

    Scraped front bumper - help

    My recommendation is to wait a month - if it still bothers you by then (or hasn't happened again), then you can do some DIY Dr. Colorchip as recommended.

    Headlight glass broke - repair? Or replace entire headlight?

    Lots of options right now on eBay. Anywhere from $150 to $250 for the matrix ones.

    PPF [satire]

    If I can't afford to PPF the whole steering wheel, should I just PPF at 10:00 and 2:00???

    Car likely totaled

    You will probably be really happy with the payout. My 2021 SR+ was totalled last month. I paid $39,990 for it a year ago. Even though now the new ones are $46,990, the used ones were going for much more due to availability. Insurance deemed the total value at $53,000 based on 3 currently...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    They were not able to transfer the deposit because I already paid the deposit on the new demo. They said if I called them before placing the order, they could have moved the deposit to the new one, but I would have lost the car while waiting on hold. They were able to move the loan over without...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    So I got impatient and just ordered demo M3P from San Francisco with 480 miles. There was a whopping $250 savings on the car, but hundreds more on gas savings instead of waiting a couple more months. Couple questions if anyone knows: 1. I can still remove FSD right? Older posts in here say that...

    How long for Camera Calibration ?

    I picked up my M3 earlier this week. It took less than 5 miles on a 3 lane highway to calibrate.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Last update. I was scheduled for 7/22 pickup and got a call this morning that my car was ready a day early so I picked it up this afternoon. No paint or panel gap issues. No floormats. Came with a polished "Model 3" rear license plate frame which was unexpected. I was also worried that they...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I'm reading rumors that the SR+ is now coming with floormats, but possibly only overseas from the Shanghai plant. Any recent pickups getting floormats?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    An update: After my 7/11 post, the EDD would bounce between July 18-Aug 6 and the standard 8-12 weeks. On 7/17, I checked the myaccount page around 7am and got the Tesla Vision prompt. The page had my VIN populated. About 1 hour later I got a text saying that my car was being delivered to the...
