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

    Posted in the centre console thread as well: Installed the chrome delete kit yesterday. I spent considerable time on the first mirror, around 3 hrs. [with a lunch break] getting it perfect. The larger upper piece was especially difficult but I was very pleased with the outcome. The next...

    Yes, welcome to our nightmare! It works out cheaper if the customs agent doesn’t charge you tax. Generally, on a lower cost item such as this they will not, and that really helps.

    For my fellow Canadians, I highly recommend finding a local freight forwarder that has a US address, self declare with customs, then pay the forwarding fee. Mine is $12 CAD per parcel. This saves you atrocious shipping and handling fees (which are also in freedom dollars) as they can usually...

    Wireless charger throwdown - who wins?

    @MXWing I looked at it like completing the design. In our day and age, our lives revolve around our phones, a point proven with a spot for your smart phone built into the car. Why not have wireless charging there? This makes total sense to me, regardless of % on my phone, and why I elected to...

    Wireless charger throwdown - who wins?

    Jeda easily has the worst customer service in the game. I pre-ordered v1, it warped, the phone fell into the compartment below constantly, and it was easily the worst return experience of any product I've ever purchased: online or otherwise. I eventually got my money back but it was like drawing...

    An increase in noise is odd. It does take a few days (5-10) for the seals to relax. Shame you took them off after all that work.

    Warning to potential Model 3 Buyers in BC and Quebec, Canada

    We're talking about a very specific place, Vancouver Island. <180 Wh/km is more than doable most days of the year because we have more than favourable ambient temperatures the majority of the year. The average winter temperature is +7ºC/45ºF. I'm not talking about being cold in the car - use the...

    Just received my P3D, can anyone assess if I should bring the car back?

    I had similar issues like these (paint nibs, chips, seal issues): Tesla fixed them all with the help of the local approved body shop. Get the paint chips fixed for sure, you don't want that developing rust long term. Nibs are an easy fix while the car is in for the paint chip, but again, these...

    Warning to potential Model 3 Buyers in BC and Quebec, Canada

    You don't need to run HVAC full time. With seat heat full and cycling the heat on and off as needed, you should be under 180 Wh/km at +7ºC. For driving from Ladysmith to YYJ airport/Buckley Bay (~110km each way), you have numerous options for charging. Supercharging at Uptown (southbound) or...

    Reducing noise and keeping the door sills clean

    Measuring sound is an art in itself. Numerous factors come into play and having these consistent is the most difficult part. If you could leave the phone in the exact spot pointing the same way perhaps (maybe) you could get a consistent control and test. Somebody made a YouTube video and showed...

    Reducing noise and keeping the door sills clean

    Z seals on the outside until that lip ends, then the back side. A steady Xacto blade and CA brings them together. I cut the lip off with very sharp scissors. I didn’t think of the taper idea (which is a good one), however didn’t find it really mattered in the end. You’re trying to seal the...

    Reducing noise and keeping the door sills clean

    To add to my previous post, I completed the bradhs seal install. A few things came up during the install which slightly modified his original idea. I thought I would document those changes here. The first change we made was running the forward A-pillar door seal to the top of the mirror. That...
