    Expiring free SC Miles

    How do we advocate Tesla extend the expiration date of free SC miles awarded under the referral program? I'll lose over 3000 miles the end of May, and shelter-in-place does not let me travel.

    XPEL film in central Alabama

    Highly recommend Proline Detailing in Prattville, AL for Xpel ppf. Donald and colleagues did a very good job (full front end) on my M3.

    I scraped my wheel rim on a curb. Can I file/sand it smooth and paint it? Where can I get the gray paint? I have the default wheels. Thanks.

    Hazy film line inside headlight

    Recently noticed a hazy line of dried liquid inside both headlights of my M3. It is noticeable on the attached picture along the bottom edge of the lens. I found a similar picture posted on TMC by an MS owner last year. Have others seen this blemish on their M3? Is this covered under the warranty?

    Same sealant for PPF and non-PPF panels?

    I had Xpel ppf put on the front of my black M3. Is there one sealant I can use on the ppf as well as the other, non-ppf panels? Customer rep at Xpel advised me not to use their ppf sealant on painted surfaces. Wolfgang advised not to use their high gloss paint sealant on Xpel ppf. Is there a...

    Oops! Don't shift into neutral while driving

    In case you were wondering, it is possible to shift into neutral while driving. I mistakenly pushed up the right stalk to indicate a left turn. That set off loss of power and noise and a red light on the screen. Am very glad I was not rear-ended. Does any one know if the brake lights come on in...

    How far will my insurance pay for towing?

    I live 168 miles from the closest Tesla service center. Does anyone know how far a USAA auto insurance rental and towing rider will pay for towing? USAA rep said coverage is to the closest service center, but I felt she was not referring specifically to Tesla-approved service centers. A flat...

    Should get my black M3 in two weeks and am trying to decide which of the above options is the better use of limited funds. (Full wrap is out of the question.) Have read some of the previous forum posts about PPF and coatings but would appreciate fresh input on this. Local options for PPF are...

    Cost of transfer switch

    I'm getting electricians' quotes for installing a transfer switch on my dryer line. One quote was quite detailed, and listed the cost of a 220 volt, 30 amp transfer switch from a 3rd party as $775. Seems high to me but maybe that is what they cost. Is the cost reasonable? Any suggestions about...

    Building inspector won't approve transfer switch

    Ordered my M3, hired an electrician to assess home charging options, and he concluded the best option was to install a transfer switch to utilize the clothes dryer line. Sounded good to me. Alas, he calls back to say the building inspector would not approve a transfer switch set-up. So my only...

    Ordered M3--Smart phone next?

    Just ordered a M3 but I don't have a cell phone, much less a smart phone. Is a smart phone necessary? (Life seems a little less cluttered without it, but my wife was hoping the M3 would lead me to get one.)
