Yep! Sorry for the confusion. 3M adhesion promoter helps but the stuff in the ikon box was dry for me so I just rubbed it down with 91% isopropyl. Otherwise good luck installing it!

My advice would be to toss the VHB included in the kit and go to a local automotive store and purchase the 3m molding adhesive. 1/2inch x 15feet. Apply the 3m double side tape around the edge and use the two push clips on the side to secure the corners. Have someone help you as its fairly hard...

Not really but they sell several different models and styles concurrently. If you worried about efficiency I would try to find the Ikon RPM style lip I ordered a bit back. It has a flat bottom and looks alot like the Unplug lip. I'll post some pictures once I rip my old ikon one off and get...

See if your credit card company can work something out. Jeda was known to be a semi decent vender early on but after tesla put wireless chargers in as OEM equipment it seems to have essentially taken Jeda out of the market. The products weren't super reliable either. My old Jeda V3 wireless...

If i remember correctly on that big red bar on the bottom it'll list the number of errors.

Can you manual lift the trunk up after hitting the touch pad on the trunk? Could just be the strut is broken. Go into service mode and see if its kicking up any codes.

I had a pretty mediocre experience with the Ikon front lip (BLF-TSL318IK-PP) (The version the uses the factory mounting holes). The lip came slightly warped which made it difficult to install. Even with some 3m molding tape after 4-5 months the lip started drooping as the adhesive failed (from...

It was a TSB. To reseal the top of the control arm joint. They slap on that goop.

I know they make these hard plastic covers that go over the controls and glossy plastic trim. The issue is that they look clunky and the hole for the light to come through often fills up with dust.

Looks amazing! Can't wait to get this done on my 2018. Quick question about the silicone pad. Is it more grippy than the stock surface?

For 2018 owners we have a different connector on the back end of the center console and need an adapter to fit the 2.0 console.

Just got my adapters in from aliexpress. Now just got to find a 2.0 console. Borland and issues with the installation?

The 12 month parts warranty for headlights and taillights was ok (got my taillights replaced free when they fogged up again). But for an important powertrain component is definitely unreasonable. IMO they need to revise the battery/motor warranty to an overall powertrain warranty for 8 years...

I have a late 2018 Model 3 and had the same issue with the display and managed to get it replaced under warranty. I also had a screen protector but the tech didn't say anything about it. Current Issues: PCS Failing. (32/48amps) Groaning from front left suspension after tesla resealed. Only...

Sorry it took a while to respond was trying to find a service tech that I could talk to at my local SC. They said a total PCS failure could cause issues in the AC and DC sides. For the model 3 the repair is about 1500-2000. My best guess is for a X it could likely be more. I find it idiotic how...

To me that sounds like two issues that the SC is diagnosing as one. A contactor failure and a PCS failure. Had the same issue with DC fast chargers where the car would try to charge and keep cycling. Do you hear the contactor pop but not fully engage?

I can't see the images but the two errors that usually cause charging issues are a failed contactor (supercharger) or a failed pcs (ac charging). Might want to put your car into service mode and see if you can see the error there.

Duct tape a SRB to the back and let it rip. But real talk there basically no options other gutting the car and a lot of fabricating to the final drive and new powertrain components if your aiming for pure speed.

Another model 3 2018 (69k miles, second owner) with a minor PCS failure. 32/48 amps. Currently throwing up error code pcs a013 in service mode. Quite the bummer as i just dropped 1.1k on a new contactor.

1. Track mode for LR owners? 2. Improved auto high beam activation. 3. The return of the widget that displayed tire temp, trip info, efficiency and etc on the bottom left of the display.

I've tried a few wireless charger pads (Tesla OEM USB C 27w, Taptes V3? the curved one usb C, Jeda V3/V4, and the Taptes v2) for the older pre 2021 cars and also got to borrow a 2021 M3 P for a bit so have a bit of experience with the newer built in pad. (Just wanted to add a quick note. My...

Wait i thought in HW2.5 cars you only need the HW3 computer as the cameras should be the same?

On my 2018 I originally had a fairly budget setup. Front lip was a EZ-Lip and the rear spoiler was a 60 dollar ebay replica of the performance spoiler (made of a thin plastic and painted to look like CF). Recently ordered a IKON front lip (plastic not cf) and a Unplug Performance High Efficiency...

I got to compare my friends 2021 M3P with my 2018 M3LR and if your expecting a night and day difference in build quality your gonna be disappointed. Both cars exhibit minor defects like panels, door handles, and doors being slightly misaligned. Rattles are on par with each other though the...

I jumped down this rabbit hole a few months ago and no dice. The 2018 vehicles have a different connector on the back of the center console. So you can't just swap the security module and plug in the new console. A option I was thinking about using was maybe swapping the entire harness of the...

I'm still kinda annoyed a lot of EAP features are still very half baked. Smart Summon is a gimmick and NOA still freaks out when it it sees an exit.

Jeda charger pads are mediocre at best and defective at best. If you look through the forums you'll see several threads talking about DOA charger pads and hubs. On my old Jeda v3 it had issues charging smaller devices like my Iphone SE (2020) and 13 Mini due to poor coil placement. A few years...

I think the best idea would be to do it Nighthawk did. Randomly pull up complain about the headlights not working and suggest the gateway "fix" and hope that they just do it. I would love to know if any texas SC is willing to do it. Maybe a smaller one like Tyler, but i'm not willing to drive...

Sorry to hear that Tom. Has HW3 improved your Navigate on AP experience? or is it still the same issues as before?

Sorry if im necro this thread but just wanted to update with my experience. First Tesla service will replace the trim piece in question. The serial number is 1130656-00-E for the RH side and 1130655-00-E for the LH side. Total cost to do both at my local SC is 267.50 plus tax. On older vehicles...

So did you end up going through with the full battery swap? Did you have the old 75kwh or the new 82 kwh?

2018 LR AWD. 55k miles. A bunch of rock chips here and there. Had to replace the driver seat motor and display around 40k. Battery is sitting around 286 miles of estimated range.

Ahh I think someone at Tesla made a mistake. I mean if you don't want it I would happily take that FSD off your hands for you. But seriously get that free HW3 upgrade asap before they change their minds.

Same as Flux, on my 2018 I replaced my slightly damaged one with an aluminum one with the vent holes and noise dampening foam. (Added some extra felt around the screw holes to reduce scuffing on metal surfaces). Seems to have the same level of noise dampening with the added benefit of way more...

Try with another SC and maybe in person. I think you'll have better luck that way. The service team that you talk to over the app wasn't very helpful in my case.

This makes a lot of sense when I look back on the whole interaction. Once I got to the service center they immediately knew what I wanted and got it to be within 10 minutes. I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the service individuals answering service messages only handle scheduling and...

The whole situation was pretty annoying. It should have been simple as I send in a message and they inform me the part is available and to come pick it up. Instead they gave me a run around and canceled my request left and right until I finally convinced them to sell me the part. That's the...

Update 2: Ok tried again and finally they agreed. Going in today to get the part as they have it in stock. Had to keep saying its over the counter no vin and had to bring up examples of how other items in the EPC like the performance spoiler that don't match my build, but can be purchased over...

Update: Nope, they still won't sell it to me. Got a message from service this morning stating it was VIN restricted even though it clearly isn't. Any further advice?

Thanks! After I brought that up and pushed a bit harder they ended up ordering it.

They have a lot of the older dual usb A modules but none of the USB C / USB A Modules.

Hi Everyone, I've been going back and forth with the service chat about trying to get the USB C / USB A front USB hub (1522264-00-B) to retrofit into my 2018 M3. They keep closing my request and saying they can't sell an item that wasn't originally configure with the vehicle. Anyone have a...

I've been using the TSolutions mudflaps for about 6 months now on my 2018 M3 and overall they're not bad. The price is about double the Chinese import ones though half of EVmudflaps or rally armor. Installation is simple though I wished more VHB was included in case the flaps came off. They do...

I ended up just commenting a bunch of times on interesting threads (Around 5-8 comments) and eventually I was allowed.

Depends on your needs. If you have a family of 3 or more go Y. In my experience taking care of siblings and cousins the model 3 can sit 3 in the back but you really want to limit it to 2 or 1 as the vehicle gets cramped pretty quickly once you factor in the school bags and ipads. As a single...

I have no clue why Tesla still doesn't use the side B pillar Cameras to assist in parking or pull up the corresponding fender repeater camera when the turn signal is activated. I don't like the idea of solely trusting visualization. I've ended up just getting used to rapidly tapping the camera...

In my case I have a 2018 Model 3 (No PPF) with around 42k Miles driven mostly in Texas (Austin, Dallas, East Texas). Most Rock Chips Front Bumper (ALOT everywhere) Rockers (Chips at the front near the front tires and near the back along the side) Rear bumper edge facing tires (A cluster near...

Ah I see. I would love to see something of this type on future vehicles. Maybe as vision progress they might add corner cameras that can later be used for this like Subaru does with the eyesight X system.

Though isn't the 200k vehicle cap likely to be lifted before the model 2/Q hits US shores? In my opinion Elon is likely to keep the 2/Q in the lineup and push the model 3 upward in range by retaining leather seats, power operated seats, and etc. The model 2/Q is likely to be downgrade with cloth...

Elon said something about a birds eye view camera update with FSD in 2020. I haven't heard any update though.
