Cool, thanks for the answer. Your Y is looking great!

Kbonay, do you mind telling me which wheels those are? Did you do something to make them that glossy? Thanks!

Just made my appointment for wet dog smell fix and HW3 installation for FSD. We'll see what they say. Earliest appointments were in the first week of Feb.

I stopped by last weekend and saw they have a few cars in the building (showroom, not repairs), wall art, and even a little furniture. Definitely not fully complete in terms of furnishings and marketing materials, but it is great to see progress after the one-year delay!

Unfortunately, I still see no visible progress on this location. I'll post an update when I see some movement.

Same thing happened to me about two weeks after I got my 3. Hit a deep puddle and the material tore. I'm pretty sure it was only water and not any type of debris. Mine ended up getting fixed for free as a courtesy.

Just to clarify, I think Sparrow means "exterior" is done. The building lacks interior walls, fixtures, etc., as well as any heavy equipment, furniture, IT gear, etc. that will need to be installed to begin operations. Unfortunately, the entire summer seems to have been wasted. I wonder if...

I'm looking for a set of 18" wheels for my Model 3's winter shoes. I run PS4s on the OEM 19s for summer, but think having a bit more sidewall for winter conditions here in the northeast would be nice. The two most obvious options seem to be the turbine style wheels from TSportline ($1200, 21...

I checked the site a week ago and there is absolutely no visible progress compared to my photos from June. Unfortunately, something seems to have stopped the project. No idea if it is permitting, inspections, a shift in the target opening date, etc.

Definitely good to hear they are hiring! I'll try to update the photos soon to see if they've done any work on the interior.

Another uodupd, hopefully the last one. Tesla decided the only way they can feel 100% confident in the integrity of the pack for it's lifetime is to replace it, so they have ordered a new one. Given the production push, it may take a few weeks, but that is no problem for me. At the end of the...

At long last, an update! Just talked to service. They agreed that the damage was to the "ski rails" of the battery pack, and not to the car's frame. They offered to replace the pack with a new one. Given the potential delay (the packs being built now *may* be planned for vehicle...

I also got ones on Amazon that failed to work. I bout some from Seatbelt Extender Pros (same company that made the ones on Amazon) and they are merely acceptable. They sometimes need to be tried about 4-5 times to actually latch. Better than nothing, but I going to call and complain. Also...

I'd love to see pics if you figure out how to open up that area! I'm not saying I'll go fishing for my lost screw, but it would be nice to know how...

Slade, I had the same issue (a different screw fell into that same abyss). Unfortunately, at the bottom of that space is a portal to another dimension through which that screw has traveled. Assuming it wasn't ripped apart by the singularity's tidal forces, it is now on Earth Prime, holding...

Here are photos from this weekend. Only minor work on the exterior (some red paint), and the interior seems unchanged. IMG_20180616_121303 by RDaneel posted Jun 18, 2018 at 5:50 PM IMG_20180616_121333 by RDaneel posted Jun 18, 2018 at 5:50 PM

It was righteous anger, so I'll allow it.

Yes, my mats for the Model 3 do that, too. I don't find it to be a problem, but it does occur.

I'd reach out to Greg for a quote, as every package is different (coverage, film material, ceramic, paint correction, etc.). I will say that I thought the price for my particular options was fair, and in line with other quality options. Thankfully, while cost of living in NJ is high, we don't...

These are good points. I don't think you're saying that this is what I did, but I agree that one should definitely notify anyone that would be lifting the car of how to do it properly. That was exactly what I was doing for my detailer (in the event they wanted to take the wheels off), when I...

Yes, technically, point well taken. My view is that Tesla can believe one of two things: 1) customer took delivery of undamaged car, drove it *immediately* to a location with a non-compliant lift, damaged the car, and - within 70 minutes - provided photographic evidence of the damage and has...

I'll throw in my vote for Greg @ Signature Detailing as well. He did my 3 (full PPF plus ceramic plus console PPF) and the work is excellent.

Just a quick update. I brought the car to my original pickup location (Springfield, NJ) and dropped it off with service. I was very appreciative to get a Model S 85 as a loaner rather than another ICE SUV. The S is about 4 years old, I think, and it is amazing how far Tesla has come! I can't...

Thanks for asking. Service told me they needed me to contact my delivery advisor. My delivery advisor apologized and said that service shouldn't have said that. A week ago he said that service would call me. Despite two calls, I have yet to receive a return call. Honestly, Tesla service...

Really nice color combo, enjoy!

I thought I just confirmed that it works, but maybe I misunderstood your question. What do you mean your "tires" have to be reprogrammed? Are you going to have two sets of wheels, one with summer tires and one with winter, and each with its own set of TPMS sensors? If so, I can confirm that...

Yes, I can put your mind at ease. When you switch wheels, the car will (give it a few miles of driving) pop up a message saying it detected new wheels and asking you to confirm the size. Pretty slick, IMHO. Each set of TPMS has to be programmed to the Model 3, of course, but swapping should...

First and most importantly, I'm sorry about your loss. That being said, it is kind of a relief to hear that I'm not the only male who has had some hilariously annoying issues with a name change. My wife and I took a neutral last name when we were married. She would call a bank or other...

Here are some more progress photos... The interior seems like it needs a bit of work! IMG_20180504_184122 by RDaneel posted May 21, 2018 at 2:20 PM IMG_20180519_141657 by RDaneel posted May 21, 2018 at 2:20 PM IMG_20180519_141854 by RDaneel posted May 21, 2018 at 2:20 PM

Any luck getting resolution? I was told "we're talking to Hyperco" but haven't heard anything in a week. I'm starting to get a bit frustrated.

Yeah, some more installation help would be nice. I'm blowing a TON of hours at a professional shop getting my springs installed today. I'm frightened of what this will cost. The instructions don't show how you install the springs over the strut, which appears to require cutting a hat-shaped...

I ordered from PartCatalog via eBay and just got an email saying that, while May 25 is still the firm shipping date, they hope to ship in the next 1-2 weeks, so they might arrive 5-10 days earlier than expected.

Thanks! Just placed my order and got a nice $30 off...

None of the above: Xpel Stealth

Two of the three glossy parts are easy to remove. You just pry off the soft touch side panels (about 6-7 clips, and it pulls right off), them remove the aluminum side rails that are attached with half a dozen sxrews. Removing the phone door is harder, the hinge has a screw on each side, then...

Thanks for the info. Any pics? :-)

I had this while going under an overpass, but I think that is a known issue.

Probably not. The coefficient of friction of the wrap and paint probably aren't enough to matter in the context of a 3800 pound car flying down the road at 75mph.

At first I saw the blue car and your $500 number and thought WTF THAT'S SO CHEAP, then I realized you were talking about just a bumper... That console looks like very nice work. Did he remove parts, or do it in place? Would you mind posting a pic or three of how he handled the edges/wrapping?

I had exactly the same question! I removed two pieces so they could have the edges wrapped, but not the middle piece. That looks like nice quality work...

Like the title says, I'm looking for an 18" set of turbine-style wheels to use with winter tires. The TSportlines are $1200,the EVWheels are $1000. I'm looking for any reasons to spend the extra $200 (or not!) and would appreciate any input. Thanks!

It's definitely a problem you should have fixed. This is very common (about 25% of Model 3s I have see). The good news is that it is fixable. Mine overlapped (though not quite as much as yours) and the service center fixed it in an hour before I took delivery.

SOLD!

I wish that Tesla was a little more humble about this situation. I spoke to customer support this morning, and while the rep was super helpful and professional, the first response is along the lines of "well, there are many different Android phones, each with different software setups." Yes...

Thanks, everyone, for the summaries and input. I'll try se of these suggestions. There must be some software bug, though, if I can get in the car with the phone key, but then can't put it in drive unless I have the key card. That's bullshit. Tesla better straighten that out soon...

I appreciate all the good info in this thread. Is there a summary anywhere? I can't read all 33 pages right now... Just got my 3 a few days ago. Half the time the car does not let me in with my cell in my pocket until I manually open the Tesla app. Also about 25% of the time I want to drive...

Please let us know what they say!

SO? WTF? IT HAS BEEN 19 MINUTES AND YOU HAVEN'T POSTED A VIDEO REFLECTING YOUR WELL-REASONED ANALYSIS OF THIS TECHNIQUE!!!!! Seriously, thanks for the pics and any impressions you can share.

Bump. I have the wheels/tires ready to go...

Mine had 8. I'll be surprised if any come in over 20-30 given the current delivery situation.
