    Guides for center console teardown?

    I haven't seen any videos yet for how to completely tear down the center console in the model 3. Does anyone know if there are any, or can give me some guidance? I have a really bad rattle coming from this compartment in the image below. I've been fighting this rattle for the past 6 months...

    Removing Center Console Plastic Panel

    Does anyone know how to remove the plastic panel from the center console? I have a bad rattle coming from the right side so I would like to remove the panel and take a look. I know how to remove the rubber trim piece above, but can't figure out how to remove the lower piece. I tried shoving in...

    "Woodpecker" Noise On Door Open/Close

    I had this problem. I brought the car in for HW 3.0 upgrade. They did the upgrade first, then tried to produce the noise, but weren't able to produce it. Haven't heard it since. Not sure what it was.

    Sound Deadening Model 3

    What tools are guys using to remove the bolts from the front seat rails? T47 torx bit is too large, and I stripped those bolts in the past with T45 and had to pay $120 for Tesla to remove them.

    Rapid clicking noise when opening/closing doors

    In the past, I've known that the loud thump under the car is normal when waking up the car. Recently I've been hearing new noises come from under my car when opening/closing the doors. I'm not sure if this is normal or if it was the result of some software update. Is this something to be...

    2720 miles, received in July 2018. Around 250-260 wh/mi I was getting 300 miles @100% After calibrating by dropping to 7%, it went to 302. I'm going to try calibrating once again, and if it doesn't change much, I give up.

    Will Ppf/clear Bra Void Warranty?

    No it will not. I have taken my car into two different service centers and each time I have informed them that I have PPF in case they wash my car. They didn't have any problems with it.

    Mysterious static/hissing noise

    So I bought it up and they took note of it, however they said this is a known issue that Tesla is working on. They will resolve it future with a firmware update, which I'm kind of skeptical of if it's a hardware problem.

    Mysterious static/hissing noise

    Interesting theory. I just brought my car into service for this (again) and maybe I can bring this up. I do want to mention for the people who are unplugging the speaker, I was told that this speaker is where the collision alerts comes out of so it may not be safe to unplug.

    Model 3 Door Sill Plate Removal

    Do you know how they reapplied the adhesive?

    Main Storage console in center console is starting to rattle - anyway to fix

    I have the same problem. In my case, it is not the actual lid making the noise. I noticed that the latch that holds the lid is making the noise. Holding the armrest down does stop the noise. Sometimes it stops making noise for a while, then comes back. I'm not sure how to go about fixing this...

    Model 3 Door Sill Plate Removal

    Does anyone know how the door sill plate is attached? Is it adhesive? If it is adhesive, then if removed, what's the best way to reattach it? I have a paint chip around that area and my local body shop brought up this concern.

    Model 3 MSM Rear Bumper (Atlanta/Sandy Springs, Georgia)

    Selling my midnight silver metallic rear bumper from my Model 3, which I received in July 2018. It has had paint protection film (PPF) most of the time. I had closed my garage and my car was not parked all the way in. One of the garage hinges nicked the bumper. I had to remove the PPF to check...

    Parking lot damage/dent, seeking body shop experiences in Atlanta

    ECR may be good, but they are really expensive. Their labor charges are around $105 an hour at the Sandy Springs location. I was quoted $1197.47 to fix this small damage on my bumper. They quoted me $1564.88 to get a new unpainted bumper from Tesla and paint it. I contacted Tesla Marietta's...

    Windshield Specks

    I had my front window tinted and I thought all those specks were dust that got under the tint when they were installing it. Now I'm not sure at all. I have already tried clay bar on my windshield which did not help.

    Mysterious static/hissing noise

    So they replaced the MCU...but the noise came back when I was parking my car in my garage.

    Mysterious static/hissing noise

    Apparently they are going to replace my MCU to fix this issue, which is surprising to me. I guess I will find out if that actually fixes the issue after I get the car back and drive it around.

    Mysterious static/hissing noise

    Unfortunately I don't. The service adviser told me that there is one for this issue where noise can be heard when music is turned off and the fix is something other than replacing the speaker. That's about all I got out of that conversation. Maybe I can get more details tomorrow.

    Mysterious static/hissing noise

    I brought my car into service for this issue today, and I forgot to mention to them to listen for it without music, so they did not hear it. They told me to pick up the car and do a bug report if it happened again. As I got in my car to drive home, the noise started up again and I brought the...

    Lost 9 miles last night

    I had similar vampire drain over the past few days where I lost at least 10 miles in 1 day while the car was plugged in my garage and temperature didn't exceed 90 F. Something that seemed to have helped is turning off the AC and rebooting the car. I did a scroll wheel reset, then powered down...

    Am I too strict with tint quality and PPF?

    I have similar issues with dust under ppf and tints. Paid $4300 at a shop north of Atlanta for full xpel PPF and tints on all windows except roof. They didn't do b-pillars though. He mentioned that there is a standard where if you can't see the dust/bubbles standing 5 feet away, then it is...

    Screw disappeared into the void between seat and center console

    I do, but not sure where to point it. I can't hear the screw rolling around when I'm driving so I think it's stuck somewhere. That's the one my friend lent me. I used it for around 1-2 hours and still couldn't find the screw.

    Screw disappeared into the void between seat and center console

    I was installing my dash cam today and was screwing in the side rails of the center console when I dropped the screw between the passenger seat and the center console. I've attached a picture of one of the screws that I am referring to. I checked with a flash light between the gap, under the...

    PPF & Tints - How much dust underneath is expected/acceptable?

    I got my model 3 full ppf wrap and side windows tinted. There seems to be quite a bit of dust that got under the wrap and tints. I've never gotten a car ppf before, so I'm not sure what is expected. I never really had dust under the tints of my other car. Here's a gallery. Some of it I am not...

    Model 3 won’t start, help?

    I have this same exact issue. I brought my car to get tints/paint protection (total 48 miles on the car). I received a call from the shop saying that the screen isn't turning on. I called Tesla and was told to try the scroll wheel reboot but no luck. Car still drives but you must tap the key...
