    Rear speakers and sub not working after body work

    Got my 3 back from the service center. They replaced the battery and the car is up and running again but the rear speakers still aren’t working. Actually it’s the rear speakers, subwoofer, door woofers, and Bluetooth microphone. The speakers at the top of the doors and the speakers at the top of...

    Rear speakers and sub not working after body work

    RSA here. Used a battery booster to get some power but nothing working really. Windows, doors, etc. all inop. Car won’t even go into tow mode. He’s getting it on the flatbed now. Ugh.

    Rear speakers and sub not working after body work

    Update: I was going to go pull apart the rear of the car to see if there was a wire disconnected. Went into the garage and the car is kinda bricked for now. It was pretty in responsive. I was able to open the door and disconnect the charging cable. Windows didn’t work properly, screen was dead...

    Rear speakers and sub not working after body work

    I recently had a bit of bodywork done to fix a dent on the rear right quarter panel. I picked the car up late on Friday. The rear speakers and sub aren’t working now; the drone speakers are working. The audio system balance is in the middle. If I set it all the way back, there’s no sound. Audio...

    Kenriko Chrome Delete Kit: Show off your tips and pictures here

    I have the kit sitting in my house. It arrived the day before I left for a 2-week business trip to San Diego. Now I'm back in Phoenix, but am hesitant to install it in 110+ degree weather.

    Recent Chrome-Delete

    Looks good. I was thinking about doing black for most of it but white door handles. What exact vinyl/color did they use? Matches very well?

    Isn’t that in the chrome delete kit already? Edit: Yup: “Completely Covers the Chrome on the Side Mirrors, Door Trim, Handles and Side Camera Housing.”

    Yeah the car looks great but like you mentioned, I’d need an (in person or video) closeup. @Kenriko did you say there would be an install video?

    I ordered satin. Not sure I’d like the Matrix on the exterior. Especially with other stuff like the b-pillar glass being non-textured. But that’s just me.

    Sunroof tint

    I took the shade off. Really doesn’t help all that much. Maybe a little, but not enough to outweigh the coolness of the glass roof. And the rear shade did make it tough to see out the back window.

    Red Model 3 & Showing Dirt

    Another benefit of the pearl white—it hides door dings. Luckily none on this car yet, but my previous car was a pearl white Ford Edge Sport. It got a few dings but they were very hard to see. I only found them when I was hand washing the car and felt them when drying. I usually just ran it...

    Red Model 3 & Showing Dirt

    Living in Arizona, I get tons of dust but very little rain. And when it does rain it pulls the dust out of the air and dumps it on the car. Here, I will likely never go with a color other than white because it doesn’t show the normal dust at all as long as it doesn’t rain. I was discussing this...

    Sunroof tint

    I got one of the roof sun shades off amazon. Just installed it. It’s night now so I can’t tell how much of a difference it’ll make here in the hot Arizona sun, but it fits quite well. I used the clips but I’m not sure I had to. The laws are different everywhere, but I believe for tint it has...

    Clean black frunk/trunk badges?

    20 is fine. I’ll try to do that. I actually have used Plastidip before and you’re right it’s pretty simple.

    Is Expel better than 3M PPF?

    I was kinda considering stealth white but it only makes sense to me as a full wrap...and if it’s gonna cost $6500+ that’s heading towards what a full paint job might cost (possibly more than a good quality front end paint job/repair).

    Clean black frunk/trunk badges?

    Maybe not a bad solution. Same with having a shop paint them, or actually painting vs Plastidip. Any idea how much those badges typically run from Tesla?

    Sunroof tint

    I’m confused. My 3 (performance) came with a pretty dark tint on the roof glass. Do they all not come like that? Or are you wanting it a little darker even?

    Trim materials question... Does anyone really know???

    Not sure how I got that out of your post? “3. Trim that people are "Chrome Deleting"” And In other words, there isn't ANY CHROME plated crappy metal on the M3 (like your father's Buick) :p If you can’t see how that can be taken as being snarky about people using the term “chrome...

    "Must have" list of upgrades

    I ordered a Nikola Pro matrix black wrap for my console and steering wheel. Got it from amazon for $35. WELL worth it and not overly tough to install. As for must haves that’s absolutely individual dependent. For me: - Tint - Floor mats - Chrome delete - Center console wrap - NEMA 14-50 outlet

    Before/After - Chrome Delete (on black)

    Looks great. I’m a fan of chrome delete but I’ll say black actually looks great to me even with the chrome.

    White door handle wrap?

    Those look pretty good. Looks like they don’t wrap around the edges though? Is there Chrome showing on the edges?

    Clean black frunk/trunk badges?

    Plastidip is doable but has anyone found another solution for a reasonable price? 3D printed or something maybe? To clarify, I want the whole badge black with no chrome showing.

    Would like to hear owners opinions on the Pearl White and Black and white interior.

    I have PW/Black. I considered the white but thought it might be a bit much. Also, I like the cabin to be very dark at night and thought the white might be annoying. Additionally I’ve heard the white dash panel can cause some unpleasant glare. With all that said, it might’ve been fine. I’m loving...

    White door handle wrap?

    I want some white door handle wrap that matches the pearl white (or well enough). If pre cut, I need it to wrap around the edges so no silver shows. Anyone find pre cut ones? Alternatively, what’s a good wrap that would look good? I found the @Kenriko templates so I could have a local shop make...

    Custom Ambient Lighting Project

    Agreed. My Edge had some nice color changing ambient lighting. I had to turn the 3’s off as I found the plain white annoying at night. I may look into changing them all out for blue. Anyone know offhand if the footwell bulbs and door bulbs are the same? Thinking of getting some from AO.

    Electrician installed my NEMA 14-50 receptacle upside down..

    Not positive at all, but I thought i read that was the standard way a 14-50 outlet gets installed for other applications? Maybe the way we want it for charging is actually the upside-down way? /shrug

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    Love it. I'm shooting for something very similar if not identical. How did you do your wheels? I'm going back and forth between powder coat (expensive but "best" solution), paint (a little cheaper, but not as durable), or plasti dip (cheap and less classy, but removable).
