    EV Wraps Vinyl vs. Rimetrix Laminars

    Currently, I have the Gemini Wheel Covers on, wrapped with the EV Wraps Vinyl. It took like 3 or 4 hours to wrap the covers and they've held up pretty well over the last 5 or so months. I did use Plastidip on the Gemini wheels to conceal the silver ring and have everything blend together more...

    Model Y Auto Pilot Nearly Unusable

    I've been driving my Model Y (June 2021 build) for roughly seven weeks now and I'm finding the auto pilot nearly unusable. The braking is so overly aggressive that it basically catapults me forward constantly. It will go from 65 down to 40 suddenly and simply does not ease into braking...

    Nice frunk/trunk organizer option

    Frunk Organizer I've been getting a good amount of take out these days and have been using the frunk more than I thought I would... need to keep that new car smell as long as possible. I vowed not to make any major mods this time around, like I did with my Model 3, so no auto frunk for me. I'm...

    FS: Wine Red Seat Covers for Model 3

    I recently sold my 2018 Model 3 and am selling all of the after market accessories I had on the car. I installed Inch Empire Seat Covers in early-Feb. 2021 and took them off in late-May when I sold the car. I wrote a post a while back reviewing the covers. I paid $320 all in and am asking for...

    Sway Bar Issues?

    Has anyone had to replace the front or rear sway bar end links due to clunking/knocking noises. I’ve replaced both rear shocks, and the lowering springs recently, but the noise has unfortunately remained. I’m thinking it could be coming from the rear sway bar end links or bushings. Just curious...

    Mobile Service Replacing 12V Battery [need to remove powered frunk kit?]

    Quick question... I’m having my 12V battery replaced as an “under warranty” service this weekend (it went 2.5 years/30,000 miles). Do you all think it’s necessary that I disconnect my Hansshow Power Frunk/Trunk connections to the battery prior to the appointment? I just want to make sure it’s...

    "Inch Empire" Seat Covers for Model 3

    Hello, this is just an informative post for anyone considering seat covers for their Model 3. I'm aware it's not for everyone but I thought for those considering this I would provide my two cents. I've owned my Model 3, with standard black interior, since May 2018. The vegan leather has held up...

    Where is this noise coming from?! Please help!

    I've owned a LR RWD for about 2.5 years now (since May 2018). I'm just shy of 30,000 miles and have had it lowered on TSportline springs since August 2018. The 1" drop put the stance right where I thought it should have been from the factory. Anyway, about 2 months ago I started hearing some...

    Best DIY Project?!

    As you can tell from my profile signature I’ve made many modifications to my 3. However, with this virus keeping me indoors I’m looking for a new project. Can anyone offer up some ideas (and if you’ve actually done it, photos would be great!)? Take care and be safe. Thanks!

    Hansshow Customer Service

    I recently purchased the Hansshow Power Trunk and Frunk and am doing it DIY-style. The frunk is done, with little adjustments made, and is working perfectly. I've had questions along the way but William has been great in helping me with any/all questions in a VERY timely manner. There are coupon...

    For Sale: IKON Carbon Fiber Spoiler for Model 3

    Purchased off Amazon just a few weeks ago brand new. When I received it I wrapped it in 3M satin black vinyl, to match my chrome delete, and placed it on the car. The fit is perfect, is extremely easy to install, and it does looks nice, but for my personal taste I simply like it better without...

    Tesla 3 vs. The Batmobile

    So I was in the LEGO store today with my family and saw that they were selling the 1989, Michael Keaton version, Batmobile... simply iconic! I walked out thinking that it would be an awesome gift for my son (age 5) and I to build together! He LOVES Legos! During lunch, I asked my wife if I could...

    Up for sale are my OEM 19” sport wheels with TPMS sensors included (wheels only, no tires). Also included are the Tesla T center caps, chrome lug nut caps, and original black Tesla lug nut covers. I’ve had them on since day one and I have about 23,750 miles on the car (owned since May 2018)...

    Just wrapped my OEM 19" wheels in some new rubber!

    I just recently replaced my original 235/40 19" Continentals that came standard with the sport wheels on my LR RWD. I researched a bit and decided to go with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (went with 245/40 ZR19). I lowered my car 1" with the TSportline springs and have 15mm spacers in front, and...

    Help with new tire choice

    So here’s my setup: LR RWD with 19” sport wheels and original 235/40 R19 Continentals at around 22,000 miles. I think I have about 3,000 miles left before it’s time to replace all four tires. I put 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm spacers on the back tires, and lowered it by 1” with the...

    For Sale: BLOXsport 7075-T6 Wheel Spacers (4 x 15mm)

    I'm selling my BLOXsport spacers, which I've been using for the past year (purchased July 2018). I paid just shy of $250 new for the 7075-T6 version (stronger than the standard 6061-T6). They're very good quality. All four spacers are in perfect working condition (no damage at all, just some...

    Model 3 Center Cap (for 19" Sport Wheels)

    Need some help from all you good people! I've had my car now for just over a year and wanted to change things up just a bit. I was a few hours from changing the caliper color but got cold feet. I want to do something a little less permanent and was just curious what look people like more. I...

    To rotate, or not to rotate?!

    I’m conflicted and trying to seek some clarity. I’ve read other posts and some rotate, others do not. I have the RWD long range, with 19” sport wheels and tires, and I dropped it 1” with the TSportline springs. I know the owner’s manual says rotate at 6,250. I’m at around 7,700 now and haven’t...

    Model 3 Hood Emblem Change

    Inspired by the old Model 3 logo, which I loved but for some reason Adidas didn't ;), I searched online for the three stripe logo to replace the Tesla T hood emblem. Well, I never did find a complete "E" logo but instead purchased three "E Bars" from Emblems Only [E BAR] and got the look I was...

    I really want to love the aeros, I just can't.

    I just wanted to get some other viewpoints on what people are thinking. I'm definitely going with the Midnight Silver Metallic (yah, some might say boring, but I have my reasons). However, the wheels have been a bit tougher for me to decide on. My first choice, and most likely the one I'll go...

    Any way to check the exact time of Model 3 reservation?

    I know the date of my Model 3 reservation (3/31/16) but it's been so long I can't remember the time. I'm just trying to get some idea of where I am in line at this point. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that. ;) I just dropped off a black Model 3 rental I picked up from Turo--spent a...

    Finally saw the Model 3 in the wild... 3 of them actually!

    I finally saw the red one in person at the LA auto show but didn't get a chance to check out the interior (due to it being locked up of course). Today on the freeway I saw a white one. A few minutes later I got off the freeway and saw a blue one parked in someone's driveway. As I was at the...

    Premium Upgrades Package (PUP)

    What are the thoughts out there about the PUP option at $5,000? I believe location might have a lot to do with this decision (I'm in Southern CA) but there's really only two things that stand out to me. First, is the tinted glass roof. Second, is the premium audio system. I think the other...
