I got my Tesla solar panel system (12 panels) installed in my home about 1 month ago. Cost was the biggest factor for me choosing Tesla, but even if Tesla was a little more expensive than some other companies, I still would have gone with Tesla because I already have a Tesla vehicle and Wall...

Wow, that's one of the worst paint issues I've seen on here. What year is your Model 3 and how many miles/km do you have on it? I know winters up north can be pretty brutal on cars, but most cars can handle the sand/salt/winter. Just not Teslas unfortunately it seems. --Cintoman

Following up on my post from a few weeks back.... now that the temperature is higher, I haven't had any issues with the charge port not locking the charger. --Cintoman

Adding a data point here. I have a 2018 Model 3 LR AWD and because my battery was dangerously low (2%), I decided to charge it at home tonight with my Tesla Wall Connector, versus where I normally charge for free (ChargePoint station a few miles away). Plugged it in fine, but after the blinking...

After reading this entire thread in one sitting, I'm surprised that no one made mention of using a laser wire instead of these much thicker wires that, when installing on the underside of the larger air vent, it can be difficult to mount it nice and straight. What I ended up using is a laser...

Lots of sellers on eBay sell them in multiple colors and sizes. --Cintoman

@Steshen , wow...they look great. Awesome job !! --Cintoman

Funny, I'll actually be driving by there very late tonight (around 11pm) to drop my daughter off at URI tonight. Hoping to get back home before the snow arrives later tonight...so I can hide my car in the garage. But that sounds like a plan and would love to meet up...probably better during...

Hey fellow RI'er !! I'm up in Cumberland. --Cintoman

It's uncanny how similar the hoods and hoodlines are. -- Cintoman

Nice....new headlights! -- Cintoman

Right door pillar camera blocked or blinded.

Model 3 owner here. Yes, even though I'm aware of how much I'm pressing down on the accelerator pedal, I still very much liked to see how much power (black) or regen (green) was being used. While I thought the pre-update energy bar was a bit thin'ish, with this new update, like most have...

Unless you were among the first ones to get a Model Y and you removed the front Tesla "T" badge on the hood, only to realize that there is now a hole in the hood :) --Cintoman

Just realized I had never posted a pic of my AO lettering on my Blue M3 LR AWD. Apologies for the major delay @whatthe2 -- Cintoman

Excellent video @Dekodan !! Very professionally done. --Cintoman

I applied PPF before installing mine. Here's a pic of my rears, showing the PPF line which extends just about 1/4" beyond the edge of the mudflap. For the front, I already had PPF installed on the fender and rocker panels, so no need to add any more. I definitely agree PPF should be added...

Holy reflections on that paint. Amazing !!! --Cintoman

Getting your calipers painted? --Cintoman

Wow, what a phenomenal trip you took. I swear that your car looked like a totally different color in some pics. I have a 2018 M3 LR AWD that I took delivery at the end of Sept 2018, and up until my long trip, only had about 12,000 miles on it. I live in RI, and every year, we drive down to the...

I had an issue with several defroster lines weren't working on my car. I never had my windows tinted, so this came like this right from the factory. Looking closely at the lines, I didn't notice any damage or parts of the lines removed. Tesla ended up replacing my rear glass under warranty...

That should all buff out. --Cintoman

I reached out and just got the PDF version of the installation instructions. I was going to attach it here, but the file size is too large (20Mb). Not sure how to add it to this thread for everyone. So @BoringMod it looks like we'll now have to run more wires thru the black rubber tube instead...

I was planning on running my strut wires thru the same grommets instead of how Electrified Garage drilled into the left side of the car. However, I still would have thought you'd have to at least partially, remove the rear bumper cover to get to those grommets. However, since I'm installing the...

So I have the DIY V3 version of the rear trunk Hansshow kit, and was planning on following the Electrified Garage video on installing this. I'm guessing they had a slightly older version, as they had to run some wiring under the rear shelf and remove the C-pillar trim. If that's not the case...

Might need to adjust your right headlight....looks a bit out of spec...lol. --Cintoman

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing some Model Y's in RI !! -- Cintoman

Electrified Garage over in NH made a great video of an exceptional installation process. No corners were cut and the way this guy did the install would be the way I'd like mine installed, as I'm OCD with things like this and making it as OEM an install as possible. Here's the video...

*** SOLD *** Thanks for all who were interested ! -- Cintoman

Hey @guildner , can you PM me your info and we can continue via PM. Thanks, Cintoman

I did the full door seals, including the bottom of the doors. Here's how I installed mine (before and after pic). I made sure not to cover the drain hole. I installed this over 5 months ago and haven't had any issues with water draining and/or rust. --Cintoman

For sale is a pair of Brand New Trak Sport 214 snow chains for a Tesla Model S and Performance Model 3. These are brand new and have never been used. My Father-In-Law bought these directly from Tesla for a Christmas gift for me, not realizing that I don't have the Performance Model 3 with the...

So I'm still on the fence as to whether I should go ahead and get the power frunk and the power trunk with foot sensor. I would be getting both or neither. But also debating on whether to get the Hansshow ones or the Teslaoffer ones. In the above post, Hansshow has a pretty good deal where if...

Has anyone tried 0-60 with the latest 5% power upgrade in the new 32.2 software? I think with the previous 5% power update, people were getting 4.0 flat times. Curious if it's gotten better. --Cintoman

Haven't seen 0-60 times for LR AWD since the previous 5% update a few weeks ago. --Cintoman

These look EXACTLY like the MaxPiders, only without the 3D logo on them. I thought I read somewhere that these are actual MaxPiders, but defected/test units that were rejected by the company, and shouldn't be made available for sale. --Cintoman

Finally got to install the laser wire I purchased from the OP. And oh man, this truly puts the interior on a whole other level. Looks amazing. This was a very easy mod to do. I ended up tapping the wiring harness that comes from the door, which is plugged in by the driver's side kick panel...

Amazingly well done and exceptional job by your son, with you helping. Like others mentioned above, someone has to tweet this to Elon so he can see the incredible skills a 10-year old has, as well as the positive impact Elon has made on this younger generation. I see a future employee at Tesla...

How bad are your bubbles @Garlan Garner ? Do you have any pics your could share? Mine were spread on the passenger side, smack in the middle of a passenger's field of view. Probably about a 6-7" wide area with many bubbles, some as large as a quarter sized. --Cintoman

RandomJohnny...glad to hear your dash replacement went well. Like me, I was crazy nervous about all they had to remove on my car, especially after seeing the Reddit pic. But after it's been replaced, I've had no issues at all with any of the trim or pieces, nor any rattles or squeaks. --Cintoman

I ended up going with the black ones instead, as I thought about and saw how awful the paint job were on the painted ones. As well as thinking all the sand/rocks would sand blast the paint off the flaps, especially the part of the flaps that's exposed to the wheels. Really love the black eBay...

My screws started rusting the day after I mounted them. I've since had to tape around the screws and spray paint them 2x already. I might do the same eventually...just make the holes bigger and use the plastic rivets. --Cintoman

I also wanted to say that your car looks amazing @Garlan Garner . All of the mods and add-ons you've done look great and nicely understated. Excellent work !! --Cintoman

Oh man, that's really cool. But then you'll rarely have it the way that all of the Model 3 with the Sport Wheels come from the factory: with the bottom of the "T" pointing towards the valve stem....Bet most people that have the 19" or 20" wheels didn't catch that on their cars. I'm crazy OCD...

If you only had your car for 2 days, bring it back to Tesla to have them evaluate the paint. --Cintoman

I'd be curious to see a picture of your entire left side, just like you did with the right side, where it shows both front seat rails. Even though it's 1/2in shorter, it still seems like that spacing between the end of the tab and the edge of the seat rail is more than 1/2in. --Cintoman

That's just so strange. You would have thought that they miscut that extra tab area a bit short, but in looking at your pic of the left side, that extra tab area seems to be about the same size as the one on the right. I checked my car, and mine are about 2 1/2 inches front to back. So then it...

So I've been on the fence about getting this (originally just the trunk with foot sensor one, but now that they have the frunk available, maybe that one too). Price is still about $100 each higher than what I'd like, even with this group buy. Even though I could probably tackle the install...

Ran into the same issue when I did my first front install. What I ended up doing was getting a tough piece of plastic, wrapped paper towel around it, then managed to insert that "wedge" inbetween the leading edge of the sheet metal and the fender liner. Basically popping out the fender liner a...

Thank you @Plug-n-Play and @jebinc. To get the PPF line exact, I put a decent size piece of PPF on the car without removing the backing. Then I test fitted the mud flap to the car. This held the PPF in place. Then, I just ran a pen around the edge of the mud flap which marked the pen on the PPF...
