I’ve used the rubbery chamois in the past, but now it seems they are out of vogue, or only used for glass. Seems micro fiber is preferred for no scratchy. As a side note, posting a link to a great video I found for how to hand wash and dry. It’s aimed at Teslas but seems pretty legit tips from a...

Great post and data thanks!! One question - how do you feel those tires will hold up over time/mileage? I’m definitely going to need to get some all season wheels/tires coming up this fall and keep the stock ones for summer and track days. I’m not super concerned about efficiency, as not...

Yep… was thinking full PPF for mine until I got the quote! Yikes. I’ve got an appointment next week for tint and going to do the front bumper with PPF. Although … after handwashing today I noticed the side mirrors are also bug graveyards. When I take it in next week I’m going to ask how much to...

Woahh! Had a super hot day today and turned the seat cooling to high. You all know it blows A/C out the bottom of the seat as well?? I think the RWD and LR does this as well, but if not, put another notch in the M3P belt. I’ve got say.. I’ve never experienced a perfectly cooled taint area and...

I could be wrong if they changed something with the highland model, but I thought all the glass blocks like 98 or 99% UV, but only the roof blocks IR with factory stock Edited to be more clear

Just to add some sunshine to your day for those still waiting. I’m seeing some video reviews from the UK coming in and they pretty much gush about how much value there is for the money on the M3P. Now, I know Britain in particular has higher COL and wages comparatively, but when I hear “$60K...

Also, @TetchyOstrich , someone in here (can’t remember who) posted a video that there is actually a “wizard” in the Teslas service menu to bed in the brakes. It has you take it up to a certain speed range and then apply a really decent amount of brake pressure to a stop, wait for a bit and then...

Just curious, anyone put on any aftermarket side camera trim on a highland? Saw this pic today of a pre 2024 model. I’ve got 2024 white exterior and I think this just looks great. Any issues or successes here?

Yep - I danced this dance before. Look up the local store on Google and call that number. It picks up with tha automated system and sounds like the generic “800” number. But press the button for deliveries (or maybe it’s for sales first? Then deliveries?). Then for “more help” . Then say...

Yep - it’s frustrating that the whole EDD system is so screwed up - but it just is. Mine pushed out little by little, then In late March mine got pushed all the way out to July 28- September 8. June 1st I woke up to a text that VIN was assigned and delivery window open for like 10 days from...

Just fyi - when I went in to pick up I brought my DL because they said that’s what they need for all registered owners. However, since I test drove a car about a month before, they already had a photo of my DL in the Tesla system, which they had printed out and in my paperwork folder. So they...

Yeah I’m not sure what the issue is… I took them off (man it looks so much better), and then hand washed the whole car including wheel cleaner, outside wheel brush and spoke brush. All the “marks” came right off. Plus I was able to get in and clean the inside of the wheels.

Step 1: put in insane mode, or maybe just leave in standard if it’s your first Tesla/ time Step 2: clench butthole Step 3: put pedal to mat

Beautiful tint! Also, here’s how I “re-wired” my brain for the turn signals - that piece of the steering wheel right by the signals? Which way are you going to move the wheel to turn? Press the button in that direction. Maybe wont work for a lot of people, but completely solved the problem for...

@M3PDenver awesome! What track is that? HPR? I’ve never tracked a car, (never had one worth it) but now that I have one worthwhile, I want to do it. Low-key, probably in grandma mode for a couple laps without a lot of other traffic. What’s your recommendation for Colorado? Edit - another reply...

New Tesla Jigsaw review that just makes me smile. Hang in there everyone!

@borntorun10 you will get used to it. First time I launched in standard mode I about pooped my pants 😂🤣😂it was my first experience with a Tesla so it was just an extreme experience. Now, I can launch in insane without batting an eye, it’s just that good and in complete control - I don’t do it...

@CHB12312 Yeah, that seems high. In Colorado I got a quote for 750 for xpel Xr tint for sides, back window up to the center pillar. Not doing windshield or front roof. Quoted 1700 for ceramic body coating, including all the clean, pre buffing (which honestly, shouldn’t need any being new) clay...

Wanted to add in some info for those still waiting or debating switching to the LR. My love of the adaptive suspension shot through the roof today. It was my first day commuting into the office since getting the M3P. I wandered off the main roads through the country in the general direction of...

Absolutely this. I parked mine at a very busy supercharger station along the interstate today and had a ton of families with several year old Model Ys come up to compliment me on the M3P. They all said the exact same thing: “I could trade in for a new model Y right now for a great deal and drive...

Not leaking air, or water (after a high pressure car wash). I’m sort of leaning to the same. I saw it after a day and got some ocd about it, but have shown the car to a dozen people and nobody else noticed. Have a service appointment scheduled since I wanted to log in before the 100 miles so...

Yep, when I got mine there was one in a little plastic bag in the sub trunk!

Yeah… I’ve been checking in on the 2024 highland white interior thread every now and then and there are still a bunch of people ordered RWD and still waiting. At this point why wouldn’t you switch to LR for like 500 bucks more or whatever it is? I suspect LR demand going through the roof. When...

Unfortunately, I don’t think it will. From what I’ve seen, they are switching over to the Panasonic battery packs (made in USA) hence qualifying for the credit. Earlier models before now used the LG packs so still don’t qualify

Gotcha, thanks! I’m used to crappy cars where they just clip these metal fishing weight type of things to the outside of the rim!

Another thing to maybe look for / ask about on inspection. I took all my aero caps off today (looks great!) but noticed this thing inside the rear driverside wheel. Maybe a balancing thing if the wheel was slightly off spec for balance? It doesn’t feel to have much mass though, not like a piece...

Picked up new Model 3 yesterday. I thought everything looked great but this morning noticed this mid alignment of the trunk to the c-pillar on the right side. I’m under 100 miles so putting in a service ticket. However - the rest of the gaps/seals all around the trunk are perfect, and I’ve...

The wait is worth it! She’s home! Picked up today and can’t find one single thing wrong (well maybe one) - and I checked all the likely suspects. Paint is good, gaps are spot on, alignment is great, no rattling from dash, etc etc. the only thing I noticed was it started raining (although...

I’m up in Frederick, so basically right between three dealerships but they assigned Aurora to me, that’s where the appointment is. Fingers crossed it still goes through at 2, my ride basically has to drop me off there at noon and then turn right around. I’ll either be taking my M3P home or the...

And to all a good night!!! It’s so awesome to see vins rolling in for a bunch of folks, especially after the drought the past week! I’m literally getting flashbacks to being 8 years old and on Christmas Eve.. it may be hard to sleep tonight!

I rescheduled my delivery today and the app wasn’t letting me do it. I looked up the dealership I was scheduled at in google, and called that number. It gives you the standard Tesla automated system, but if you follow the prompts for delivery, and then listen to the bs telling you to check your...

Keep the faith all you dudes and dudettes. It will happen!

That is fantastic!! Just curious, if you didn’t do the sun roof and a little lighter on the back window, do you think the transition would be noticeable? I’m on the fence about doing the sunroof

It may be a good thing? Mine at one point went out to July29 - sept 2. Then a week later I got a vin and it moved in to jun 13-20. I’ve heard that’s happened to other people as well. Or, it could be because you changed color. Who knows?

Hoping so! Also hoping mine is “here” in Colorado with yours as well - my Edd just changed from June 15-20 to June 10-19 as well. Maybe I’ll see you as we pick our cars up! 🤘

It could be worse y’all! Back in the late 80s my dad got a used Cadillac that had a rattle in the trunk while driving. Obviously hard to figure out where it was coming from, so he had 8 year old me climb into the trunk with a flashlight and then drove it down a road while I was supposed to...

Thanks so much for posting this!! I’ve been wondering when I get mine if I’m just going to have to turn back around and give it back up for service to fix some little things. Glad to hear the potential dash rattle and probably even little gap adjustments can be done myself!

Actually I’m hoping mine is in that shipment as well! I have a vin and estimated delivery of June 13-20 🤞. No notification to schedule delivery yet - I actually hope I can do a different location, Im up in northern Colorado and hate driving to Aurora.

Yeah agreed.. hate to be a “Karen” - and apologies to all Karen’s out there that don’t deserve this stigma. But with the jerk around on EDD and everything Tesla does I would be raising hell (and I might be, have a vaca planned coming up ). At this point they should be working around your...

Hard to tell from picture - was that black/white? If so, and guessing from the mountain range pics, it’s probably the dealer “showroom” car from Superior? Bless them crazy fools, I think that’s supposed to be a showroom only car but they are parking it outside and just letting total randoms...

I could be mistaken then. Pretty sure all I’ve heard of is those that did need to pay the new ones.

You will need to pay the current price (won’t qualify for the credit)

Did you do full hood? Been getting some quotes on PPF and theres quite a difference between “24” up the hood” and full hood. Yours looks fantastic!!

@StaceyR and other Cali folks.. just noticed.. full plates when you pick it up?? Are temp tags not a thing in Cali?

Yep, agreed. Last time I bought a car (granted that was 12 years ago), my wife and I were in with the sales guy and he did his thing, back and forth, blah blah. “Let me call the sales manager” put him on speaker, then the manager said to sales guy, “come over to my office to talk about it”...

Insurance question for y’all (in Colorado if it matters). Tried to add my VIN to Farmers online today. Said “car not found”. Seems like others have run into this, sounds like you can just upload current insurance for other car? I’ll have to call my agent Monday and get it sorted, but was hoping...

Everybody keep your spirits up! My EDD was pushed out at was sitting at July 28-September 8 for an over a week. I even posted about it yesterday. Woke up to a Vin this morning and date window moved up to mid June!!!! The VIN fairy has blessed me!

Hey all, Happy Friday! Just wanted to cheer you all up! I ordered 5/2 for Colorado. Pretty sure I’ve been sitting on one of the furthest out EDDs for the US for over a week now! Hopefully the drunk EDD monkey pulls it in sometime, but also hope all you all get yours soon as well! As a bonus...

I’m in the same boat looking around. I sent a message to Martian wheels asking to confirm if their 18” will fit the performance (says on the site fits all performance variants but that might have just been from the previous M3P)

I bet it’s the range (or mpg equivalent). Having worked at a large manufacturing company for years I can just see it - everyone at Tesla scrambling to get the epa approval, war room plans to push out the service update for the range displayed, logistics, delays, finally yes!! It’s done! High...
