    Caster measurements consistent with collision/accident + alignment weirdness in general

    I've had my car aligned multiple times at several different shops (Tesla, Firestone in TX and VA, and a specialty alignment shop in the DMV area). The first time, the Firestone tech from TX asked me if I was in a collision, since my car's measurements were really strange. Tesla and the VA...

    Hit curb at 1-2 mph

    Tight parking garage, heard a thunk while trying to turn. Anything I should worry about? Rim is mostly OK, just two little scratches, but the tire got this weird spot I don't notice anything off with the alignment/suspension - car drives exactly the same as before I hit the curb

    Cost of full paint job in 2024?

    Just wondering how much an entire paint job would cost in 2024? There are some threads from 2020 that such a job would cost $5k or so. I'm not thinking about getting a paint job today, but maybe in like a decade if my car still runs lol. I'd have to replace one of the doors as well.

    Being dropped by Tesla Insurance?

    Anyone seen no "estimated future premium" on the app before? The last time my policy was up for renewal back in October, the app did show an "estimated future premium." There were no numbers, since Tesla was probably calculating the rate hike, but now I just don't have an estimated future...

    Am I seeing things, or does the area around the rear door handle look sunken in?

    Just wondering if I'm being paranoid.

    Pulling to the left with perfect alignment specs

    Hi, I've been having issues with my car pulling to the left despite pretty much perfect alignment specs after two alignments from my local Firestone. I know my car is capable of driving straight - it used to before I got my first alignment from Firestone. Now I'm wondering what the heck is...

    What kind of damage is this?

    Almost looks like something was dragged along the panel. Not sure if it's just dust or else.

    Lightharmonic sound system installation?

    I was looking for aftermarket options for subwoofers, and ran into an ad for the Lightharmonic sets. Has anyone installed their products? Do you still run into the same issues as other aftermarket audio set ups, where the 12V battery throws a bunch of errors?

    Windshield wipers scratching windshield

    I had my windshield replaced recently. Yesterday we got some rain, and my windshield wipers seem to have scratched my windshield. It's time to get new wipers, correct? And the scratches can be repaired using a windshield repair kit? It's annoying because some of the scratches are on my field of...

    Weird dull spot in paint

    Any ideas for what this could be? No clue what it is, won't come off in touchless car washes

    Tow hook cover popped out

    While preparing to get my car towed, I tried to open the tow hook cover, but the cover detached from the... cables? The tow hook cover wasn't damaged, but it detached. Is there a way to put it back?

    Glass repair kit or professional Safelite repair?

    Just noticed that there's a small chip on my roof glass, which happened after my incident (posted about it before, windshield cracked that looks like a gunshot) Could I DIY this with a windshield/glass repair kit, or should I go to Safelite? I don't want this to turn worse than it needs to

    So my car was vandalized. What can I do to protect further damage before my windshield is replaced?

    (Title) *to protect FROM further damage... And no, Sentry didn't catch it. Sentry couldn't catch the perpetrator, since the object was thrown from the opposite side of the house. I just put some packing tape on the "hole." Looks like that entire part is about to break down. I also scheduled a...

    Curious about dent in driver's side door

    I have this dent on my driver's side door that's been bugging me for the past couple of weeks. I don't know if this was dented by someone else. Would it be possible for me to dent that part of the door by myself just by being careless and pressing ok the door too much when I open it? Or is this...

    Do 5-gallon buckets fit in the Model 3?

    So this is in fact a serious question. I would like to get started with washing my car "the right way" by handwashing with the two bucket method and dirt guards, applying optimum no rinse, applying wax, and drying with some chamois or high quality microfiber towels. The thing is, I live in an...

    Bug guts remained on car for week. Does this look like permanent damage to clear coat?

    (See picture) Also, best recommendations to hand wash? Automatic touchless car washes and self-service car washes haven't done much for this...

    Hit potholes during road trip, and steering wheel started to feel floaty/loose. Can the front right camber be fixed by local wheel adjustment people?

    Firestone couldn't fix the front right camber. The tech's correction made the car rode slightly better, but the steering wheel feels floaty. I don't know if I have damage to the suspension either.
