You should see how insecure they act around my M3 here in Appalachia, "Have you ever even considered a hybrid?" is a frequent question, followed by vigorous attempts at educating me on their gas mileage savings, and comments like "they rushed out the EVs too soon" or plain "I ain't never gawn...

Correct, but we are talking a brand new suspension and many other upgrades.

Beware of labor camp grade equipment, I replaced all my gauges several years ago with Made in Taiwan, no issues. Tesla's sensors are always within 1-2PSI of what that gauge reads.

Morale of the story is do not become a beta tester for any car co. Second year or later models only, let them iron out the bugs on pensioner's wallets, not yours.

The windows are not sealing at the B pillar edges. Multiple rubber product solutions, I prefer the thin insulation foam tape. Don't get fooled by folk trying to point the cause to the corner or top edge, top edge seals perfectly with pressure on top trim. Pushing the window out with finger near...

You will be far better off getting OEM takeoffs, meaning wheels taken off brand new cars usually in car crazed SoCal. Check Ebay, find the business and contact directly to save even further, this is how I got my second set of Aeros for my winter tires for $800 delivered in 2022.

Weekly routine: 1. Laser touch free wash, i am in a club $30 per month for unlimited daily washes, I have a spare front licence plate (Ohio decomissioned them 2022) that I hang on my x2 kid Subaru rear wipers to also get them free washes as wash reads plates (raised in Romania, old habits die...

Add the Avatr 12 with better trunk after rear window delete, but poor rear seat amenities.

You call up all the area dealers and find the one without the markup. That one will likely have an entire KGB interrogation them ready to deluge you with 10 protection packages and extended warranties, crying about needing to feed their kids when you refuse them, remain strong and threaten to...

Weaker accel. than an M3P with 140mi less range. Great achievement from a legacy stable indeed.

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Model 3 OEM Sunshades. Please add to the discussion here.

This is just the beginning, should consider moving to safer location, hilled or mountainous temperate climate areas away from coasts and fluvial floodplanes seem the safest.

New Lucid and MS competitor review, amazing lifetime battery warranty for first owner. Specs.

True Viking!

I had no illusions about depreciation and was happy to even get 35k USD from CarMax for my 2015 MS when I got the 2022 M3LR. I know my M3 will be good until 2030 when I will sell it before battery and drivetrain warranties run out. The boring penny pinchers all drive Lexus anyway.

RS E-tron GT from 156k new to 78k a year later.

You do not want the car wash vac, digging in cigarette refuse is disgusting. If the case is charging chances are it has metal parts, a strong magnet on a string might do it. Once done, get and install these.

My wife is a slave to King Corn and cannot breathe inside sedans anymore. I am eying the Macan EV, finally a properly located charge port and NACS. On a tangent, the Taycan twin Audi e-Tron prices have plummeted to sub-60k used with 10k miles or less on cars.com.

I periodically run a YouTube search for "EV". Yesterday was the first time the results were mostly negative, mostly about EV depreciation and polluting battery manufacturing. Bashing the entire EV industry based on the beta non-Tesla products with odd charge port locations and poor Level 3...

Exactly, this is why I got 80% ceramic winshield and front windows, cops can clearly see me through it. Do you guys also have the clowns driving with tinted unreadeable rear license plate covers?

Definitely on my list for 2030.

Some liberal arts starver was intercepted by Big Oil's PR machinery trying to publish a pro EV article, 50k check accepted to change it to anti-EV.

Bro in Hungary covered car port in these, now gets to charge almost free, subsidies are available.

The best are the antisocials with tinted rear license plate covers.

Lotsa headaches once NACS retrofitted/adapted, given the countintuitive charge port location on the back of front fender. They fixed that with the Macan, though given passenger side location it will still have a weird time lining up Superchargers.

I got beaten into me since early age to turn my head into the blind spot, I still do it after 35 years.

High density foam tape, forward edge inserted under the OEM.

You are looking at my passenger side B pillar. The driver side was fixed by a mouthbreather ranger who walked into my garage dragging a sledgehammer on the concrete floor, rear door edge now sticking out. I wish I had known this fix before that retard caved my B pillar outward. After I am done...

While at it spend $5 on a silicone edge, for those with the aftermarket rotator it prevents accidental damage to the protruding lower right corner from passenger knee/purses when screen faces driver.

Tessék, kérem szépen. Top of second pic shows the edge tucked under original trim edge. Looks factory, esp after a rubdown with Formula 303 protectant.

Same idea, different product, attached atop the weatherstrip edge filling the gap between window and B pillar. https://www.amazon.com/Density-Stripping-Insulation-Soundproofing-Adhesive/dp/B07RYW3Q46

The 2012-2016 Model S needed battery coolant replaced at 5 years, service reassured me the new coolant would never need replaced again.

If there is no markup be prepared to have a two hour sitdown with the financial guy trying to force warranties and protection packages on you, if you refuse he will call the salesman, then their manager will show up. IMHO the only way to get around this racket is to wear a bodycam.

Looks like Ulsan had Porsche hump a Citroën, in Alsace?

Too little airflow sucking in from corners only. Just an update, I cut out a metal mesh cover with rubber edge guard over the hole left after the inlet removal to prevent mice from moving in with the dreaded mouse nest stinky air filter shreds blowing into cab scenario, secured it with some wood...

Update, very rainy cold weather lately, AC having hard time moving air to defog window. I ripped out the rectangular AC inlet cover with the 3 retaining tabs, there is now a 2-3" gap between the funnel below and the large trim piece (housing the air slots and opening for windshield fluid...

Good news, EV GTI coming soon:

Golf R32, Bratislava's pride, my first 6MT AWD smoker, never drove any other kind after that as it was followed by S60R, TurboX, and finally the B8 S4. Never drove an automatic smoker my entire life. I still have the special high quality steel pen that came with the car.

I paid around $250 from Ebay Canada for my OEM sensors to use in my winter setup.

I always look like I am stuck under the belly of a semi trailer when I pull up to mailbox to empty it.

Just got it, once white oil bottle adapter is unscrewed it fits perfectly on gallon washer fluid bottle, yellow cap slides to lock shut. Very nice and functional gadget, topped up without one drop spilled.

Aliexpress is your best friend cross shopping with Amazon, China if full of M3s and the young people owning them are very creative.

This might help a lot, they report fits perfect on fluid bottles, $5 right now.

Stuffed a small round adhesive rubber bumper where the shroud comes about 3mm close to screen on driver side. Cut long strips of black foam and stuffed in tightly into the housing on each side of the screen cable where it enters the shroud. Been driving two weeks without rattles.

At home I use a dual pail bucket and wash mitts, always rinsing mitts before dipping in shampoo mix for next surface. If you truly care about your car it is important to notice that pressure washing will make any sand on the surface scratch the paint, much more so using a single very powerful...

To these guys acquiring a Cybertruck is the financial equivalent of us buying shoes.

Hood insulation retainer clips: Head Size: 20mm x 25mm, Stem Length: 13mm, Fits into 12mm Hole. For future reference.

I have an cheap left/right only rotator permanently blue Locktite-ed to the 15deg to driver position. Recently after I fixed more major rattles I noticed rattling at highway speeds, fixed by pushing on screen corner of where the plastic shroud touches the screen. Luckily the edge is only 5mm...

Some of us ordered these from Aliex, or the scalper vesions on Amazon. The metal bolts and threaded brackets they come with are extremely hard to fit, additionally very high risk of damage to paint with loosening. I gave up on the unsafe install I put the liner away for 6mos throwing the...
