    Had the rear vent with climate control display installed half a year ago, except the plug wasn't connected tightly during the installation, no issue afterward. Then installed the OBD dongle (that works with scanmytesla) a month ago, issues began. 1. The door won't lock, the side mirrors won't...

    OEM 12v battery lasts for 7 months

    2019 M3 based performance here. Replaced the 12v in April at Tesla service center, but 12v warning msg came out this week. voltage meter at cigarettes light port shows the battery is at 14.1v (of course I can't tell whether it is voltage directly from the main battery or not). Whether our 12v...

    Alcantara roof and steering wheel

    I don't work or sponsored for this shop, but a happy customer only. Since I bought the car in 2019 I already want to wrap the roof and steering wheel with alcantara. This is what should come out right from the factory. Not every piece can turn dark grey, but I am super satisfied with the...

    Horrible sound over speed bump (right after Eibach, Hardrace, MPP camber kit)

    I will sure bring it back to the shop tomorrow morning, but what the heck is that at the rear? It sounds like metal twisting. 6months ago, KW V3 was installed, no weird noise at the back. Yesterday, I have the following installed. 1. Eibach Sway (at medium setting) 2. Hardrace Endlink (same...

    Latest firmware won't unlock the doors with Android phones

    Every morning or everytime I walked out a shopping mall, my S20 won't unlock the car. The main screen shows I have to use the card to enter, then maybe 10 seconds later, I can hear the loud click that seems like the car wakes up, but it still won't let me enter the car unless I unlock with the...

    Anyone wrap their door handles to body colour? (red to be specific)

    last year I read some people buy the KPMF's Gloss Vengeance Red which is very very close to the model 3 red paint. It is disappointing when it was put on my car, as the wrap is slightly pinkish than the Tesla red (see the image below). What film can I order so it is perfectly matched with the...

    Installed side convex mirrors with LED blinkers

    I have done this to my Mazda5 before and loved it ever since, so this is just an easy, cheap project. I do find the screen blinker very small, so having a LED on the mirrors help switching lane. The steps are simple. 1) Tap the tail light yellow wire (US passenger side adapter) / reddish wire...

    Finally got my KW V3 installed

    Waited almost how long?...5 months? to get my M3P KW V3 in Hong Kong. Don't ask why the wheel gap is so big, they are now on highest setting, so no scrapping to the CF lips. Probably go lower later on. Couldn't fit the MPP rear camber kit as my car has height senor and the kit doesn't come with...

    Why Tesla put a 2 spoke steering wheel in the M3?

    My dad had a 1981 Mazda 323 with 2 spoke steering wheel, then my ex-gf's Mini Cooper had one, then those silly Smart cars also had this design. Not sure why it never looks appealing compare to 3 spoke steering wheels. I am sure the models mentioned above changed to 3 spoke steering wheels in...
