    Annual subscription for connectivity

    I wonder if it is because you are not currently subscribed. I am subscribed monthly and have the annual option. Or rather, let's you "Switch to Annual Plan."

    Anyone else try Dark Satin Gray chrome delete.

    Thank you! I am on Eibach's. Supposed to be 1" front and 1.4" back I had 5 fingers front and 4 back. Pretty even at 2 fingers now. Front gap still feels a smidge bigger than rear to me.

    A buddy of mine who is looking into a Model Y was sending me a bunch of questions and asked if I knew anything about this product. SentrySync - Tesla Dashcam / Sentry WiFi Sync SentrySync is an external smart USB drive that allows Tesla vehicles to sync dashcam and sentry videos to the cloud...

    I think it works really well with stealth wraps versus glossy paint.

    Anyone else try Dark Satin Gray chrome delete.

    It was DIY. I bought a large sheet of 3M Dark Satin Gray and cut it out myself. I didn't use any of the kits otherwise I'd help you out. I do wish it was a bit darker to match the wheels. In the sun it kinda does look like a dark chrome. I think if I went with a Matte, it might look darker...

    Model 3 Performance Spacers

    I don't think those will fit a P3D if you have the performance upgrades.. The hub is too small. They should fit other Model 3s though.

    DIY ceramic coating on new Model 3?

    It's really easy. I used Gyeon Syncro on my Suntek PPF for the front bumper and hood. I would use a heat gun on the ppf or leave it out in the sun to remove any light scratches you might have on the PPF. Then just apply the coating as instructed on the bottle.

    DIY ceramic coating on new Model 3?

    I bought a 3in Griots polisher and borrowed a friends 6in polisher. They are probably around $150 each. Decon with Ironx and a clay bar will be around $40. Polish/Compound probably around $25. You'll need a handful of pads if you're trying to do it all in one day and thats around $60. CK UK...

    DIY ceramic coating on new Model 3?

    I used Griots Boss Fast Correcting Cream with a different combination of pads depending on state of the paint. My P was an inventory car so there were some decent swirls on mine. I suggest getting a strong flashlight like Scangrip Matchpen Light to assess your paint and then make your...

    Thinking about getting red caliper covers. Who can I get to install them?

    I've seen these on Amazon. They look better than any other covers I've seen. Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086HJ39KF/?coliid=I7UPEQUSH3G5K&colid=R7S8X63F10HJ&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    So it sounds like I can install the trunk without plugging in the Canbus and it will still work? I never got a response from them and was planning on installing this weekend. I suppose I should wait for their video anyway.

    So is this a universal canbus adapter? Teslaoffer asks for model year because i believe the canbus for 2018-older and 2019-newer are different? Shot them a note, so we'll see.

    PPF Front Bumper - One Piece?

    That's pretty bad IMO. The seams should be touching and is barely noticeable. My front bumper was done in 2 pieces. I would get a refund and go to another shop

    Help please. Dropped some change behind the centre console door. How to get out.

    You can pull the carpet from the driver and passenger sides the same way. I did not brake any clips. If they fell out, out just attached them back in. I did not break any. I think it would be difficult to break them. Can't imagine them being very expensive to replace if you had to.

    Help please. Dropped some change behind the centre console door. How to get out.

    For the carpet wall up front, I used a plastic pry tool. Squeeze it into any seam and pull. It is connected by plastic clips.

    Help please. Dropped some change behind the centre console door. How to get out.

    You can pull the side trim of the center console. You can also use a pry tool to pull the carpet piece in the front side console. Accelerate and stop quickly and hope the change moves forward? :p

    New Model 3: Rear left bumper gap and also below rear lights

    You will likely need the SC order you a new bracket that connects the bumper to the car. My P3D has the same issue and I am waiting for the parts to make that gap flush. First they ordered just a new bumper but the issue was still there.
