    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Its possible they would, not sure about the small fee part since it still takes time, assuming about an hour. But I had stickers too on my last m3p, on the wheels and logos and they were great for the 3 years I had it on my car, no issues

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Surprisingly not hard to see out at night even with the windshield tinted too, I am also very used to tints but these do seem darker than I usually go and are still not bad for seeing out at night. In fact I think these tints help me at night since my eyes are sensitive to light, before other...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Hmm good question, I think it is only on the windshield but to be honest I have no idea if he tinted the roof or not, I can take a closer look, The back window is definitely tinted so its possible he did the whole thing. I do want to black out the lettering as well. I am too lazy to try...

    Ceramic tints 20% all around 45% windshield My last M3P was blue on white and tinting the windshield made all the difference this time around, I can never go back

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I picked up my SG/ White M3P last month, I thought I regretted not going red for my full first week of owning the car (don't qualify for the credit anyways so price didn't matter) , now a month later I wouldn't even consider changing this for red. I think red would have been cool for the first...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I will say the covers removed remind me of my 2020 M3P which I loved, I personally hated the new turbine design wheels so glad I never had to deal with those.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I know, guess I can try it and see how I like the look in person, personally ya i dont care about range but think it just looks better with them on. Just seems like a huge oversight from tesla and I am sure they will prob change the material or how they fit on the revision of this car in a month...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Only heard when windows are down and driving slow, but its still very annoying. Normal driving you cant hear it at all so at least its not a huge issue. It is something I can live with but at the same time, also seems like something that shouldn't be a problem in the first place. I set up an...

    I personally like how they look, and there's no way that the solution lol, its like saying change your wheels? um no lol

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I will say, my biggest problem with my new M3P is that terribly annoying noise that comes from the warp wheels. I thought I could live with it but making an appointment to get it fixed, other wise, I would love to get a lemon just from some plastic clips lol, working on that

    I feel like when they give EDDs that are the "next day"- a week out it means your car is on the truck on the way to the dealership.

    Not doing much better with this new one.

    lol my old m3p was as bad as 400 Wh/mi. lead foot

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah its a good point, for the most part you should never have to service a tesla, ( the 3 years I had the car I didn't even have to change brake pads which I did twice on my s4 I leased before that) but yeah replacing the battery is something I never want to have to even consider so leasing at...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah, over all though you are 100% right, if you buy and keep a car for more than 4 years you are going to be saving a ton. I leased my first m3p in 2020 because I thought there would be a battery breakthrough lol. Of course nothing happened and when it was time to get this new M3P I was about...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I kinda feel the same way, which is why I was about to buy this M3P, on the way to tesla, i literally changed it from cash to lease lol. I just figured I would rather risk it, pay a little more and have that cash on me or in the market instead. So yeah, even though it makes sense to buy over...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah I do think we are getting to the bottom of the pricing with how low the M3P is, I can see LR and RW dropping a decent amount tho which will prob roll over to the M3P in the next few years. Years 3-5 is definitely where you start to make some of the money back vs a lease and where it starts...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Lease was an easy choice with how badly electric cars depreciate... I personally don't like keeping cars more than 4-5 years, at that point the M3P might be worth what, like 20k worst case. thats a 40k cost over 4 years. A lease is about 10k a year, so yeah, leasing is not a bad decision at all...

    Welp, lets hope I can last 3 years without having to remove and replace it.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Guess Ill find out, never had an issue with regular tints but the car is def darker with the front tint on so will see how much they care. Worth trying as so far this car is so much better with a tinted windshield. Don't think I can ever go back, makes driving at night so much better for me, I...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Feel ya, eyes are not a strong as they used to be for me either, I think 15-20 is as low as I "want" to go and still looks dark enough but not a limo black out like 5 haha

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Just adding some more pics for those who are looking to tint. All ceramic 45% windshield and 20% windows. First time I did my windshield and I'll never go back to not tinted. Edit: Thoughts on tinting my headlights too? or is that unnecessary

    Noise coming from inserts warp wheels on M3P

    Yup, other people are starting to report the same noise so I will have to see what happens.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    WE need to ge to the bottom of this, I wonder if the plastic just needs to "break in" a little bit. Maybe the tolerance is really tight and just needs to loosen up

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    no way didnt realize it was this bad, i was without a car since January, thankfully took delivery at the end of May but man, I dont think I would have survived even another month, cant imagine 2 more

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Hold up, your car looks awesome, getting baby shark vibes but my fav part is the tinted headlights, I want to tint my headlights on my m3p to purple but no idea how or where to start looking

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That is actually possible, I have yet to check the center caps for debris. I did go around and jiggle them and they feel very solid but wonder if there is something stuck in there

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I can almost guarantee you it is in fact the inserts. It almost sounds like dirt is being flung up against them but not possible when going 1 mph. I know its sounds odd and I wouldn't think the wheels are flexing but not really sure of any other explanation other than the fittings being super...

    Noise coming from inserts warp wheels on M3P

    I cant tell if I like the car better with or without the inserts but that looks cleannn, got a pic of the whole car?

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    yes, at least when I am trying to figure out where the noise is coming from

    Noise coming from inserts warp wheels on M3P

    Maybe I missed this but shocked no one else has this issue on their new M3Ps or maybe it is just me. Ever since I drove off the lot, I can hear the inserts in the wheels make a creaking noise every time I drive at low speeds. Maybe less of a creak and sounds more like dirt or sand is being...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    True, I know those prices are "normal" for ceramics, and they probably use a higher quality film, or at least a film that costs more, so its not unreasonable what they are asking.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Full, when looking from the inside out you can see there is a difference in tint that fades from the roof to the back window but pretty sure from the outside it looks like one solid piece. Also 700 more? damn lol, i paid about 400 total for all windows and windshield, ceramic but that was...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I can try and take some more pics w/o reflections for you later. I dont think ive ever gone darker than 20% so not sure how I would deal with that, The front windshield is 45% so it definitely makes the interior look a bit darker than not doing the windshield. I did the same tints last time on...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I got a good deal from a guy I use all the time, he charged me around $400 for ceramics all around for friends and fam, his pricing is good though from my experience. I forgot to ask what brand he used, im 90% sure it was CIR Suntek as he mentioned thats what he usually uses. He is mobile so he...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Beautiful cloudy day in LA to show off my new tints, looks great and I now dont regret getting gray, I thought I wanted red but knew I made the right choice from the start. I can finally call it mine. I honestly hated this car without tints, like most cars, but she's back to normal now. Ceramic...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Ive tinted every car I've leased. Its not even a question. $300 over a 3 year lease is 8 dollars a month, less than a cup of coffee (In LA). Just do it. Ive had my 2024 M3P for a week now and I still dont like it yet because it hasnt got tinted lol.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Im hating on it but you cant go wrong with any color, im just in my own head about red. Grey still looks great on the car, hell any color looks good.
