That wrap stuff, or something like it, is available on Amazon in 36-inch by 100-foot rolls of "Armor-dillo" for some $78 which might be an option for temporary paint protection on the nose in lieu of PPF or an expensive bra, etc. Someone else go first and report back, eh?

Nicely done! How was that video made/what was it recorded on?

With the announcement that the Plaid Model S will use 4680 cells in a structural role, I'm guessing the Plaid model to be simply the top level of a completely redesigned Model S, which has been rumored for some time. A redesigned Model X shouldn't be far behind. The Roadster and Cybertruck...

Ripping yarn! 256 WH/mi is better than I would have guessed. Does that figure include the energy spent at rest i.e. running a/c overnight? Did you make any special effort toward efficiency in your driving habits? Best - Gary

Have you asked to see the car? Seems like a reasonable request. Since they are a middleman, the cars could be anywhere. If it is viewable and in NL, there may be a member who could give it a once-over.

Procedure addendum: It might be better to start at a front corner instead of a rear corner. Needs study. After all four Unijacks are in place, all should be adjusted to lowest position possible. Be safe. Cheers - Gary

Four Unijacks: https://www.amazon.com/Alltrade-640912-Black-All-Bottle/dp/B00GJJZ5YC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=all-in-one+jack&qid=1590899684&sr=8-1&th=1 plus jack pucks, of course. $62 each. Procedure: with low profile floor jack, jack LR corner until Unijack 1 fits under LF corner...

Would it be possible for anyone to photoshop/enhance that image to increase the contrast between the two profiles? Many thanks, in advance.

How do you know the Primacy MXM4s are craptastic in terms of performance? Do you know of any threads that have included data (not seat-of-the-pants opinion)? If anyone reading this has experience with high performance driving on the OE tires, i.e. autocross etc., please chime in with your...

@kbecks13, for my curiosity, did you have the stainless steel brake lines installed at the same time as the new brake pads? I wonder how the new brake pedal feel is affected by each of the two changes.

I am astounded this question doesn't come up more often. I wonder if it only occurs rarely. This thread is difficult to find for the usual reasons (how do you search for a problem that can be worded many ways)

Looks like a candidate for a paintless repair, if you can find one in your area with a good reputation.

The math seems to work out that the inside clearance shouldn't change since the offset is the same. The .5" narrower wheel should mean that the outer rim is less susceptible to curb rash because the tire should take the initial rash abuse.

After I got everything connected the first time, the charging didn't start out so smoothly - charging started then stopped a couple times and tripped the breaker once. I lowered the charging amperage on the charging page on the screen in the car to 20 amps and everything has gone smoothly ever...

I am renting a workshop with precisely that outlet and am charging my Tesla there at 20 amps, getting a 15 mph charging rate. I bought this pigtail adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078JLDB3Z/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 from Amazon for $40, to adapt to the NEMA 14-50...

Did you leave the MPP stability defeat magic in place with Track Mode? Does Track Mode do the same job - for the Performance model - as MPP's device does for the rwd model?

The structure isn't infinitely rigid. Lifting at a single point runs the risk of twisting the body which might break the rear window. On this thread, post 67, on the Model 3 Owners Club Forum, a member speaks of a service center without a lift that does service using four jacks simultaneously...

Just thought I'd throw this in: the EVANNEX embossed TESLA supplements the embossed Model 3 in the OEM license plate frame to give civilians the answer to their first question: "What is it?":cool: Maybe not so much on the left coast, but here in Florida, most of the complements from my condo...

@Jedi2155 I'm genuinely impressed with your wh/mile statistics so far. I'm assuming you're on your OEM 20" Michelin Sport tires. Are you doing any hypermiling actions? I've got a P3D+ with the 20" Michelin Sports and don't have many miles on them but am getting dog *sugar* mileage. I have a set...

Dear Tesla, I sent a referral code. Why is my Supercharging account Pay Per Use? Sincerely, Model 3 Owner

Did you ask?

Vehicle #2 (or maybe #1) is a 2015 (post dieselgate) VW Golf Sportwagen TDI M6 which I love. It gets 45+mpg on the highway and has driving and handling characteristics approaching ideal. It happens to be the same color as my silver/black P3D+ Tesla and I feel like I'm on top of the world...

Cool your jets P3D Free Supercharging SNAFU Good News

You don't love your wife if you haven't plugged your Tesla in.

I am in the group of end of Q3 buyers that ordered a P3D with a referral code before 9/16 and got delivery by 9/30 but still have "Pay per use" for my Supercharger status. I have good news. A couple weeks ago, I asked the obvious question on my account page and on 10/14 got an answer from...

Slick!

I like the modified nose, on first look.

Wind chimes.

I would use some fine sandpaper, maybe 400 grit, hitting the edges first, and then the "barrel surface" of the rings, if the edges didn't hack it. I bet it wouldn't take more than a minute or two... Then I would clean them with a paper towel dampened with just a pfft of WD-40 and then a dry...

Got a source for this? It's sort of intuitive, but I haven't seen it written up.

exactly so and with the box in neutral slide into the queue using the least amount of brake effort necessary to arrive at 0 at the line.

Your choice of the minus version of the Performance upgrade got you some yuge bennies; while I live in Florida, I still don't dare risk living with tires that can't live below 40°F - $1500 all weather wheels+tires on order. I doubt I'll ever get my money back for the plus version; chalk it up...

Coming from a stick shift world, neutral is one of my favorite gears...

I think a sawzall can fix your problem before mobile service gets there. /s

It looks like it was great fun and the after session chat was interesting and all but there was a lot of inside baseball between the two drivers that others might not completely understand. Me for one. A narrative explaining the relative skill level of the two drivers and how their skill...

I started a thread on this and didn't get an answer. My semi educated guess is that the P3D+ wheels will fit any M3 with a caveat. The they-will-fit argument goes like this: conventional wisdom is that the P3D+ wheels are different because they have a "step" machined into the inner end of the...

I'm pretty sure the reason the19 inch OEM wheels will not work is that Tesla doesn't offer that wheel with the machining to fit the rear brake rotor hub that makes the P3D+ wheels special.

I'll put the small rear view mirror complaint a different way; the bottom of the rear window is too high. The autopilot is not a very smooth driver. TACC is in too much of a hurry to get the number of car lengths to the right number, and the automatic lane change is more abrupt than I think is...

Much has been made of the fact that P3D+ cars need "special" wheels because of the rear brake rotor hub (not sure whether caliper size is an issue, but that's irreverent for this conversation). I won't go into that here but if someone doesn't know about the rotor hub issue, please ask and I'll...

Set of four, take-offs with low miles, plus/minus TPMS sensors. Central Florida. Shipping doesn't make economic sense. PM me your email address and/or phone number, please.

I don't think hub rings are an ideal fitment solution, and are probably responsible for your "rattley" complaint. I don't think wheels should ever rattle. The correct solution is for the wheels to be machined to fit the lip at the base of the disc hub which Tesla put there just to drive us...

I'm pretty sure the tires on the 3P+ are performance tires and aren't recommended for use below 40°F! They are strongly not recommended for use in snow and ice. The Model 3 Club's most recent pod cast had a fairly extensive discussion of the winter tire issue and is working on a specific pod...

Is this car lowered? By how much? What tires are these?

I'm not sure what you're asking for is going to give you what you want. Quality is measured statistically but any reports you'll get on the Forum, good and bad, will be anecdotal, and not representative.

Pretty! Also curious about wh/mi. I'm taking delivery of a P3+ Sunday and haven't seen any mileage figures for them yet. Will be reporting as soon as I can stop launching like a teenager. Also, did you get any deal on paint protection or tint you can pass along? I'm only a couple hundred...

I bought this unit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L9WSTEG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for my last car - not for fixing punctures, but for keeping pressure up to spec. Its special feature is that it shuts off when the set pressure is reached, so you don't need to shut off...

Sounds like the answer is, nobody actually knows.
