    Hood Liner Fix

    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...

    EQS 580 Sedan Bad?

    I compare Lucid, Taycan, and this one with the Model S from time to time when MS nostalgia hits me and anticipating the 2025 legacy NACS switch. The EQS 580 is the only one I can regularly find...

    Long Torque Wrench Makes Wheel Swaps Easy

    This year I go the 29" Taiwanese Craftsman 1/2" 50-250 ft/lb torque wrench and had an easy job torquing to 129ft/lb with the seasonal wheel/tire change compared to my old Neiko 20". Last year I got QuickJacks, two years ago the Milwaukee M12 stubby impact (superglued direction to...

    Tesla We Need On Demand Preconditioning

    All of us former MS/X owners know it. We turn on AC 30min before departure in winter and voila, regen works perfect. We should demand at least the above, if not a battery precon button on the control. First I was laughing reading M3 owners needing new brake pads, but now driving one I see why...

    2022 M3LR Insufficient Regen After Preconditioning

    With the cold weather my veteran Tesla driver reflexes kicked in and turned on cab heating to 70F 30min before leaving from work. Interestingly, unlike in my old MS, the M3 low regen icon remains on and regen is subpar. After two days, I went to 45min preconditioning with same result, regen...

    EU Front Plate Vinyl Adhesive

    Rudi in Calgary is very easy to deal with. I disregarded his instructions and peeled off both liners, applied 3M PPF Installation Gel (you can also make your own) and squegeed it out with great ease. I first made a horizontal template from masking tape (using laser level) with edge markers. I...

    CCS Columbus Area Mostly <100kW

    So now that more of us have CCS adapters I was surprised by two things: 1. The EvGo and ChargePoints I visited were advertised at 250kW on PlugShare but capped at below 100kW on my M3LR. 2. Cost is below Superchargers. My question is are there any true 250-350kW stations around? I know above...

    Trunk Space Pleasant Surprise

    I used to haul four 40-pack 16.9oz water bottle packs along with a full rigid trunk organizer in my old MS. New M3LR, went to Sam's this weekend expecting to use the rear bench but all fit with room for the organizer (hacked off edges earlier to fit it in). M3 trunk is taller than the MS's.
