    Paintless dent repair question

    I suspect even with video it’s going to be like getting blood from a rock. I suppose he’s got to have some form of business insurance. I expect that the PPF will need to be pulled and replaced anyway as it’s torn and I think protected the paint completely. I want to try and avoid respraying...

    Bottom Part of Rocker Panel Damaged But Hard To See - Should I Get This Repaired?

    I had a much smaller gash on my rocker panel done for $1500 back in 2020. They blended the color and sprayed the quarter panel and rocker panel with clear. I’ve seen many model 3’s with damage on the panel. I really wish they had done plastic on the panel like most other cars.

    Paintless dent repair question

    Hi all, We had a roofer at my work allow a ladder to fall and hit the side of my quarter panel. Thankfully sentry mode was on and caught the whole event. Amazing how conversations change when video is mentioned. Most of the damage is to the PPF on the panel, but there is a crease in the panel...

    Show me your tow hook cover

    Hello all, Got my car back from service and noticed my tool hook cover was out of place a little. Went to go push it back and saw it was broken. My service manager came back and said that they didn’t do it, even though given its condition it would have flown off thousands of miles ago. He...

    Ding repair on door question

    My wife can’t see what’s left, but unfortunately I know where to look. Far better this way than bodywork. I shudder at what traditional work will inevitably cost.

    Ding repair on door question

    I asked the TMC forum because of the location of the ding dent. Figures that someone would have had an experience with something similar. My ding guy comes a long way and I wanted to spare his time if the general consensus was that it was likely in an inaccessible area. For what it’s worth where...

    Ding repair on door question

    I'll post pictures later. My guy happened to have an opening today. It looks like someone / something backed into it. Got almost all of it out but the door is punched in a bit still so the fender line shows the edge being bent a little. I know where the damage is so I can see it. Waiting for...

    Ding repair on door question

    Has anyone had a ding that close to the edge of the door? When its knocked it sounds hollow but not nearly as much as even a little to the right. If you have had something do you have a before / after pic of how it came out. I'm trying to temper my expectations of how it will come out if it can...

    Ding repair on door question

    Hi all, I’ve had pretty good luck with getting the inevitable door dings out of my Model 3. Have had three already. Came out to my car from supermarket and noticed a doozy. It’s right on the edge of the door panel and it has two creases and two waves. Do you think it’s accessible?

    P3D+ 20" Wheels for sale (2)

    Hello All, I bought an extra set of 20" performance wheels earlier this year. My plans have changed a bit and am looking to sell 2 of the rims. The car I bought them off of had less than 1K on the rims before they switched to 18" ones. Will consider selling 1 by 1. Asking 400 + shipping each...

    Model P3D+ keeps lowering amps on HWPC

    Model P3D+ keeps lowering amps on HWPC

    Could the fact that I've supercharged multiple times in the last 2 weeks cause the problem?

    Model P3D+ keeps lowering amps on HWPC

    Noticed today that my car is only charging at 32/48 amps on my HPWC that is set up with enough current an on a large enough breaker to do a dual charger S. When I hit stop charging then re-enable charging it goes back to 48 for a few minutes then back to 32.Is this likely the car or the charger...

    Quarter Panel Crease Pdr Question

    So I’ve had to make friends with a PDR guy as I’ve already had 4 removed. Most recent one is quarter panel pass side just above the bumper line. How do you figure they will get into the space? Is it double walled like the wheel wells that we’ve had to drill? It’s a small crease without much...

    Teslacam And Securityview Setup

    I just set up last week the PI Zero setup. Works like a charm. Come home at night and it downloads it to the computer, and then sends me a notification that the upload is finished. Working on getting it to upload to Google Drive, but as of now its been flawless.

    Tesla Crackling Sound Near Driver Windshield

    The sound can happen with it on and with it off. I notice it more when its been sitting in either a sunny parking lot or coming out of my garage from sitting overnight. I do suspect its an expansion / contraction issue though.

    Tesla Crackling Sound Near Driver Windshield

    All, Have had my P3D+ since August and love it. Noticed this sound after taking delivery of the car. Haven't been able to have service duplicate it even though it happens all the time. Going back in next week and want to see if anyone else has this. It sounds like scraping / crackling / I don't...

    Supercharger - Daly City, CA (LIVE 5 Oct 2018, 40 urban stalls)

    Beat me to the update post. Drive by this afternoon and saw the progress first hand. This facility is massive, but given the lines I saw at the Foster City supercharger I wonder if this will be enough. Need to get SF going now.

    Dimension Question

    Hey all, My P3D+ is due on Wednesday. I started prepping my garage space for it. My Leaf fits like a charm even I have to back it in due to cabinets. I measured and I have enough space but was wondering if anyone has a wheel to wheel width measurement? I know it’s 76 with mirrors folded they...

    Home Delivery

    Evidently for San Francisco at least there are no non home deliveries unless you want to release your vins. I don't remember checking any box that offered it. They've been bringing truckload after truckload to the Port of San Francisco. I followed a fully loaded Tesla carrier truck a couple...

    Home Delivery

    I've looked through a few threads about home delivery. My P3D is ready to be delivered and I pushed to have delivery at a local Tesla Store here in the Bay Area. The delivery associate pretty much said that if its not home delivery the vin gets released and back in line. So I'm going to allow a...

    What is best financing rate now?

    Used a credit union for my last car purchase so went down that route again. If you are buying a Tesla and live / work in either San Francisco or San Mateo Counties SF Federal Credit Union is hands down the best in terms of rates and service. Painless application process & has dealt with Tesla...

    Annoyed with sales lack of information

    I have a highly optioned P model on order since the 26th of June. I decided on Friday I was going to add the FSD which was not selected originally. I tried calling to the 800 Number but they won't talk to Model 3 customers since they're too busy, instead they say to talk to a Tesla Store. Went...

    Performance Package on Performance Model

    What could they do that would allow the extra 10MPH on the top end? Brakes? Like many I am having second thoughts about the 5K increase. I can buy nice Turbine Wheels from any of the vendors and get decent tires for ~2400-~2500 savings. What else is lurking in this package that really gives it...
