    Rust spots under wrap - advice?

    Hello, As for the mud guards it was just to show/tell that I did take care of my care as soon as I had it. And as my wrapp is a matte transparent one, I didn't needed to remove it to spot the rust spots. Here is a picture as of this morning of one of the strongest orange spot. Wrap is still on...

    Rust spots under wrap - advice?

    Hello all, I received my Model 3 in October 2019. It's a model 2020 VIN. I directly installed mud guards from a third party at the front because I live in Quebec and we got bad road conditions during winter. It didn't feel that I drove that much until I was able to wrap the car entirely in...

    Plastic vibration noise inside coming from dash area

    My rattling sound is inside the dash vent, driver side. Whenever I slide my fingers in it the sound stop. I haven't tried anything yet, do you have any clues to what it may be ? Thanks.

    Rear cam protection of some sort

    Thanks for your quick answers. To specify it's on my model 3. I also suspect aerodynamics as I haven't seen a back of a car getting so dirty as soon as roads are wet (rain or snow). I do have mudflaps at the front but not at the back. That may be something to look at. However even with snow...

    Rear cam protection of some sort

    Hi folks, Both during winters and rainy summers, the rear cam does get pretty dirty as you drive which become an issue when you want to rear park. Do some of you found a solution to that or a protection of some kind so the camera does get less dirty ? Thanks

    Any news if the Christmas update doesn't remove hansshow features ? Any improvement ?

    Boombox

    As far as I am concern, the farting noise would stick because the activation is triggered by you pushing to horn, not by the music playing. So whatever sound, it will still record. I have try that. However I though that pedestrian sound warning would be for low speed only (less than 30km/h)...

    Autopilot consistency and accuracy...

    So as a quick up, since the latest update roadsigns (speed especially) recognition is better. The new speed limit in my neighborhood that is not on gps data/maps is read and the limit adjusted immediately. Much better. Still the delay/lag on screen is there and bother me, but at least the sign...

    Ripped up the Lower Rocker Cover/Skirt Trim on Passenger Side

    I just ripped off my conductor wheel liner and did break the rocker piece as well. I have this as a proposed bill by TSC : 1. Wheel arch liner - remove and replace : 35 CAD 1a. Wheel liner piece (1081581-00-C) : 105 CAD 2. Base Rocker lower cover (plastic) - remove and replace : 35 CAD 2a...

    Free Premium Connectivity is back?

    I ordered in october 2019. But my free premium did end sooner than my first year of ownership. I wonder if it's a complement to that or, as stated for the new model 3, a one-month offer... will see.

    Free Premium Connectivity is back?

    Yup, got it. I wonder if its after my 2020.40 update (2 days ago) or since the refresh announcement (today). A welcoming surprise. Or is it due to Starlink beeing activated and tested with the cars ? I have a 10/2019 (2020) SR+ Quebec. Canada.

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    A bit out of context but since the announcement of the refresh (today) it appears that I gain the premium package I did not have before (satellite map, data, etc.) I have a 10/2019 (dubbed 2020) SR+. At first I was afraid we bought ther option by mistake, but no. It is now shown as "included"...

    Autopilot consistency and accuracy...

    I understand it is mostly informational, but even the speed sign recognition is not on par with reality. A 30m lag is what can cost me a speeding ticket, espcially in 30km/h areas (mostly schools). Recently a street had it's speed limit changed from 50 to 30 and the car still doesn't read the...

    What's next for Tesla? Help for MBA

    Marketing has been null from the beginning. Too much budget for not very effective impact. Social media presence seems to be the most efficient channel. So I wouldn't recommand you to dive into that. From what you can read everywhere, and mostly Musk's comments, you should have a try to either...

    Hansshow Ambient Lighting

    The whole description is mixed with their trunk product but that's not a major concern. From what I was able to read on the installation guide overthere, you have to drill the door (behind trim) and also move the card reader in the console. Seems complicated to me. I would love a installation...

    Autopilot consistency and accuracy...

    I would trust the FSD/AP but so far I am unimpressed with the vizualisation on the screen. They lag for about 1s or 1m precision. Each time a car is overtaking me from usual blindspot, when I check between actual visual and screen representation, the car is not where it is shown on the screen...

    Trunk Overloading

    well I had spare time now and then, not a full week end, so I did this overloading thing 6-7 times i believe. As for the trunk compartment cover, I bought from the beginning a full size rubber cover and its a given. It was very easy to load and unload the bags.I was able to do 3 +3 bags per...

    Trunk Overloading

    I recently did a lot of terrace work at my house and was using my M3 to haul the sand bags and 3/4 rocks bags. On the heavier load i did (12x30kg (66lbs) in the trunk + 2x 30 kg rear seat + 4x 9kg in the frunk and myself 95kg) the car was very low on its springs :D I do know that the towing...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    Well I will start getting ready (loool) for the install of v3+v4 upgrade kit soon. I want to go through all videos one last time so I can put together an (hopefully) exhaustive checklist before doing the job. I intend to combine hatch latch way + rear penthouse connection. If anyone has already...

    This is what he is doing. Much less work indeed if you happen to have this trapdoor, which is for hitch placement/connectors from what I understand.

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    So I checked on my Model 3 2020 (oct 2019 build) and I have too this hitch trap underneath the rear bumper. So I will combine this french installer tip with the strut cable and Electrified Garage one with the backseat battery tip so no cable are going to the front. I ordered upgrade kit v4 from...

    Hansshow Ambient Lighting

    Yeah the "mere 500$ ish" was sarcasm... And unfortunately no more info on that kit either on YouTube or their website. Interested to learn more too. The global rendering of the lighting is quite interesting though. Gives a "Cyberpunk" feeling to the interior....during the night lol

    Hansshow Ambient Lighting

    Hello I saw that Hansshow is selling an ambiant light kit for a mere 500 ish $.... Does anyone have installed it ? It seems to add buttons in the center console and is a bit more than just the cigar lighter options out there. Thanks. Model 3 Ambient Lighting Kit | Intelligentized Auto Parts |...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    And in my continuous search for tuto, I stumble uponthis french install and at 19:38 he is showing how to passe the cable from the strut, without piercing and pinching it. I wonder what year model have all these traps underneath.

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    Sooo, after reading much of the thread, I still have questions, hopefully you can help me. I have watched Hansshow videos and the complete v4 installation made me dizzy. I bought the v3 back in december and didn't installed it yet, so I am considering the v4 upgraded kit, only for the trunk...

    Model 3 mud guards

    The Tesla flaps are weird. I guess I had the long ones. The installation is not that easy. I can't recall what the guy who installed them told me (it was at the same time I got the car wrapped back in january), but there was an issue with the screws. Tesla offered only front flap not at the...

    Moisture condensation in taillights, fog lights, etc

    I have some condensation when going out from car wash. The issue I have is that even the "normal" fog is freezing within the taillight (front and back). Next time, I will take pictures and ask for SC.

    New, more advanced version of rear lighted T for Model 3

    This is interesting. quick (very) nooby questions : Is there a way that future versions are thinner ? it looks like close to 1cm which seems very high/thick. Even if I wrapped my model 3, in quebec winters, dirt, mud, snow get at the back of the trunk lid (i do not know how... aerodynamics...

    Burning wires/plugs in Tesla Model 3

    Sometimes I believe I smell some burning in my car but it is too episodic to detect/find the source. I do believe it happens after a long run with windshield heating (in quebec right now you cannot do without it).

    My windshield wipers rarely ever clean the left corner of my windshield. Is this common?

    Same here. Not real Jetstream of fluid, just a breeze not sufficient to remove dirt strains. Very annoying.

    Phantom braking is the biggest issue with AutoPilot.

    My phantom braking issue is with AP when I want to change lane for overtaking a car. It will brake when I'm halfway of my overtake because I got too close from the left side of the car I am overtaking. Even if the overtaking is smooth. It's like when overtaking i have to change lane as quickly...

    Mud Flaps

    I had BougeRV mud flaps, until I wrapped my Model 3. Even with softening the edges of the flaps they did left some marks on the paint. I have now the Winter kit from Tesla installed and I am far from satisfied. They do go up very much. In fact they just stop where a hole is and let the...

    No I didn't saw that option. I had 4 other options like hd audio, contacts, etc. But no explicit "message" line. I will try the complete forget thing. I just tried it with the car. Thanks

    Text Messaging using Google Hangouts/Google Voice (Android)

    It seems I can't use this sms reading thing. Each time I tried the option it ask for reconnect and then go back to the option screen with the toggle "off". All notifications on my phone are "on" for the messaging app, as are all the options I see for my Bluetooth. What should I test ?

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    Comparing LR AWD to SR+

    And you can go further, any vehicule with a value over 60k$ CAD in Quebec will get a luxury tax that will decay slower than the value of the car. So its even more important to check prices

    Impressions after a week with my Model 3

    1 month in and I'm accustomed to the door handles. I confirm that trunk and doors close better after this period. However what I like the less is water flow management, especially around the trunk. Ice (and water) can get in pretty easily. If you have things that are water sensitive, not a...

    Comparing LR AWD to SR+

    well, here in canada it was a matter of price. I wanted the LR, but with the 9k$ , that was also meaning loosing one of the two rebate , therefor costing 14k$ more. Which was too much unfortunately.
