Made a 5AM half awake decision to buy this morning, and by the afternoon had all the paperwork done. Unfortunately didn't have time to go pick up because I had the title and paperwork at home :\ It is amazing to see how the M3LR I just ordered is several thousand cheaper than the M3 RWD I am...

????

That's an awesome video! Glad that more videos are coming out for how to do this. I was too afraid of breaking things so I didn't try to take off the entire long trim piece that goes from the footwell down the side past the chair. Maybe I'll try that this weekend to clear up / tidy up some of...

From what you're describing, that makes me believe something is wrong with the harness then. Since it is kind of passing through the signals, makes me think that there may be something wrong with it. Perhaps reach out to Hansshow for a replacement?

It does not affect your car's ability to get updates. I am on 2023.12.5 as of this writing.

I have had one or two drives not appear on Tessie, but they do show up on another metrics site I use. Is there a particular cause/reason on how to look into this?

Could you also help me understand the discrepancy where it shows the usable capacity being 60.0 but when I tap on the latest blue dot that lines up with my odometer it reads 58.0? 99.6% of the 60.3 does match up to 60.0…

Hi, first off want to say how much I love Tessie - it is such a handy app for all the nitty gritty data the official Tesla app sorely doesn't show. I did have one small feature request - in the "drives" section where it shows all of the times you've driven, perhaps is there a way (or maybe there...

@Arthur Cheung It has been documented/talked about here: Hansshow premium audio upgrade for 2023 M3SR I did it for my 2023 model, and it went through pretty well. Took about two hours because I was pretty careful about doing it. The best analogy for how it sounds/improvement is... before you...

Awesome write up - as a fellow Portland-ian I agree with the non-straight roads around here, but I don't have FSD so I just use the basic autopilot. For me my longest trip is to Seattle to visit relatives, and with my LFP RWD I usually stop in Tacoma just for a quick top off - otherwise by the...

Some pictures from this morning. Can’t get over how gorgeous this car looks. Also having to come to terms that it’s not going to look like this after I drive it for a few years… it’s “just” a car… :)

Just want to post a huge shout out to Alset Auto in Portland for doing a beautiful job on my new Model 3. Got the front PPF’d along with the rocker panels, ceramic, and 35% tint. Ian was super responsive and always very helpful in my numerous emails asking about details. Their scheduling...

It should activate both sides. While I am not familiar with the older versions, the issue you are describing makes me think there may be a connection issue (perhaps need to just unplug and replug everything?) Hansshow has some pictures on their installation page here: Model 3 2022 AMD DIY (No...

Glad to see others doing write ups for this ! The more info/pictures, the easier it will be for others looking to do it. The triangular shaped panel that sits to the right of the glove box would not come off and I was afraid of breaking it, so I left it on, and therefore the side trim I...

@Jordonlm I have this same issue too! However, after looking into it, I *believe* that this is normal. You can see this dead spot up close also when you park your car in your garage and then try to adjust your headlights via the service menu, where it shows "crosshairs" and there is a clear gap...

Unfortunately, yeah that is what I would do.

I have had my car for only a week, so sadly have not gotten the newer update. Am rocking 2022.44.100! But yes to echo everybody else, take out the harness before taking your car to get serviced.

I don’t know about the wiring specifically, but I think the best thing to do for now is to make sure that the cables you took out/reconnected are properly plugged in everywhere. If all else fails, and you removed the entire Hansshow harness and put it back the way it was and it still doesn’t...

I will admit that the improvement is subtle, but you should be able to notice it. Can you confirm that all four of the speakers now work? I tested by changing the fade/balance to each of the front corners. If they do indeed work and you want to sell I am sure you can sell it on your local...

Thanks for the replies. @Recce93 yes it displays correctly. I did take a picture at my work parking lot to better illustrate the dark spot. I have also submitted a ticket to my service center for my appointment coming up - they said they will look into it. It's a minor thing really, and funny...

I had that same issue until I realized I was trying to get the wrong piece off! Haha, I didn't realize it was TWO pieces - the piece with the 3 slits is NOT the one - its the piece behind it with the 4 push-pin holes!

If you installed the Hansshow DIY(New) for Ryzen, all 4 speakers (the black ones in the doors opposite the side mirrors and the ones in the headliner) should work. If they dont, would definitely check and make sure that you have all the connections done. You can tell because they all click into...

Hi everyone, just finished installing the DIY (New Version) in my 2023 M3 RWD LFP. Here are my notes that I definitely think will be helpful and useful for those trying to find what limited information that is out there: - More for personal comfort, but be sure to bring a kneepad or something...

Congrats on your new purchase. To answer your questions: - Yes all RWD M3s use LFP - Matrix lights are made up of small lights instead of one giant light like typical headlights nowadays. Yours will have them - it is easy to spot - the outermost light will have a circular lens instead of a...

Hi everyone, Just took delivery of my M3 RWD last week and so far am LOVING it. I did have one question out of curiosity though - when I am driving I am noticing a little bit of a dark spot in the left headlight pattern. While I don’t have a picture to show this, I was adjusting the headlights...

From what I have seen here and around the interwebs, the reason why it is encouraged to always charge to 100% is for the Battery Monitoring System (BMS) to get an accurate idea of the remaining charge on your battery. I could be wrong but my understanding is that the voltage does not change much...

For some reason I couldn't find this thread when I picked up my new car this past weekend, but here we are now! Here's mine. In about a month's time will have it PPF/ceramic'd/tinted @ 35%.... will post again then.

Several of my CA friends who have bought new Teslas in the past few years told me the front license plate holder is in the trunk. For mine, I called ahead to make sure, and when I got mine sure enough it was in the trunk underneath the floor cover. Am fairly certain they come this way.

Awesome - here in Oregon the limit is 35%, so I am going that way. Initially I thought it would be too dark, but I *literally* googled "Model 3 35% tint" and found a ton of photos to validate and confirm it should be fine. I saw/read so many times people have rarely ever wished they had gone...

Oooh man that red is gorgeous! Any plans to tint the windows?

Attempt #2, with no condensation! Wohoo! Still will do one more next month after the car is PPF/Ceramic'd/Tinted..

How did it go for you? Do you have any recommendations on how to remove the side trim piece that is to the right of the passenger seat? The instructions dont really seem to explain that part. I am fine understanding the instructions in terms of powering down / disconnecting the batteries and...

Thanks for sharing your experience, that seems like the plan I will take then - going to get a 12/3 15 amp extension cord (the garage's only outlets are at the top mounted by the garage door opener...), set the car to 8A, and let it do its thing.

Right, I understand that. What I’m trying to figure out however is the best charging practices given my situation, either I… 1. Use the 110V to charge whenever I can, which may mean may not get to 100% before unplugging, and use SuperCharger if needed. Charge via 110V to 100% on weekends (I...

Hi guys, I just picked up a RWD M3 yesterday, and am just trying to make sense of the best practices for charging given my current living situation. Living in an apartment complex, there are outlets in the garage. I drive less than 15 miles each day. With that information, I should be able to...

I took delivery of mine today, and it definitely has the matrix lights. You can tell three ways : 1. Looking at the headlight, the outermost bulb should be circular, not square 2. Using the light show in the ToyBox, the headlights should flash the word "TESLA" on whatever surface thats in front...

Unfortunately due to the humidity I couldn't get rid of the condensation on the frunk :\ Maybe later next month once I get the car PPF'd/ceramic'd I will try again, and also try for some more even lighting...

That MY in Red is gorgeous. I am going with Alset in Portland also in a few weeks for PPF/ceramic/tint. Ian has been super helpful during the whole process to understand how everything works. I am sure my M3 RWD is going to be just as amazing when I get it back.

Took delivery of my RWD today - that blue is GORGEOUS. Literally spent an hour going over everything, and found a few scratches. The biggest one was a scratch that seemed to go straight through to the metal in the lower trim between the front and rear door. There were only two other major...

Bought a Model 3 RWD online from inventory and took delivery less than four days later. Have never bought a car that fast. The delivery experience was as expected - they brought the car out, I spotted some scratches, took pictures, and scheduled an appointment to bring it back later to have them...

Thanks for the replies @GreenHokie and @LUNE - I did watch some videos online showing differences in tint percentages and wow 70% is super light. I think I will ultimately end up with 35% actually. Now further down the rabbit hole I am wondering if I should bother with a clear tint on the...

My $.02 would be to do it before March 1st. That is one of the reasons why I bit the bullet and ordered my M3 RWD now instead of waiting for the possibility of AWDs coming back in March .

In for one also. The videos I have seen show some jerky animations, hopefully that isn't the case. The nice thing of course is that this is entirely removeable, and nothing permanent.

Hi everyone, I am taking delivery of a M3 RWD this Saturday and I could not be happier. That being said, I am planning to go get my vehicle taken in for PPF on the front/ceramic coat the entire vehicle, as well as to get the windows/top tinted. I wanted to ask the community here some small...

First timer here. Definitely finding this website to be an amazing resource - given how techy the vehicles are, can never stop learning. Ordered via the website one that was on the lot in inventory on Sunday, got VIN assigned the VERY next day, did everything through the app in terms of...

Nice! Definitely will keep an eye on this thread then. Glad to see that they included the orange pry tool - that was one thing I was not sure if they would have included that. Definitely let us know your experience, especially since I know from reading the instructions its kind of ambiguous :\...

New M3 RWD owner (picking up Saturday!) here - I did order the Ryzen New Version Hansshow, and do plan on installing it at some point once both the car and the harness arrive. Will post an update after the deed is done... wish me luck and I hope I don't break the FM radio cable...?
