    DIY Chrome Delete with Plasti Dip

    I promise you it looks identical to the original pictures. They've held up incredibly well! Even in Michigan's harsh winters. I will take a photo later today to prove how well it's held up. Never once touched up the plasti dip.

    DIY Chrome Delete with Plasti Dip

    Things are holding up very well. There was one spot minor spot that showed some chrome that I touched up, but so far it still looks like the pictures I originally posted. Door handles have impressed me as well. They still look identical, even with the constant use day in and day out!

    Spotify Audio Quality vs Slacker

    I've noticed slightly better quality when streaming Spotify via BT vs. using the native Spotify player. It's quite unfortunate, really.

    Slow charging on NEMA 14-50: any advantages?

    There aren't many benefits to slow charging outside of trying to time a heated battery right before you leave in the morning (when it gets colder). Longer charging times are less efficient because you're keeping the car awake longer, which uses energy. There isn't a benefit to battery health...

    Mobile Ranger here, ask me (almost) anything!

    Whenever I accelerate super quickly, there is a chance a loud "thud" happens in one of the wheel wells that sounds pretty concerning. I don't experience any real driving performance issues, and there is no other indication anything is wrong outside of the loud sound, but I was curious if you...

    Sound system lost it's "punch" after latest update

    This might have something to do with the dynamic volume stuff Tesla silently added in an update not too long ago. I noticed on 48.x that music will get louder the faster you go. That didn't happen when I first got the car (on 18.x). So Tesla is definitely dynamically adjusting audio during...

    DIY Chrome Delete with Plasti Dip

    I haven't sprayed the mirrors folded yet. I honestly don't mind the small sliver of chrome you see. It's sort of an indicator the car is locked :p As an update to how the plasti dip has held up so far... absolutely no degredation so far, including the handles! It looks exactly like it does...

    Absolutely. It's probably better for it actually, as repeated plugging in/out could cause unneeded strain on the cables.

    Tesla uses Google maps as their provider, so yes, it's at least as good as Google maps. :)

    Anyone know what these dots under PRND mean?

    That means your max regen ability is reduced. Potentially due to high battery temps, high state of charge (looks to be that in this case), or some other variable with the battery. They'll go away once your SoC starts to drop.

    What is the one thing you really hate about Model 3?

    Definitely the bouncy ride. I am not sure if I actually have a problem or it's just the sporty suspension, but even fairly smooth roads leave me bouncing in my seat quite a bit. My VIN is 23xxx so it should have the new suspension, but I am also surprised more people aren't complaining about...

    Windshield wiper issue in auto mode

    Yeah, I had the same issue. I think auto mode uses less power or something, so anything that causes too much friction causes stutter? I don't know. All I know is, after I thoroughly cleaned the blades, the stutter immediately disappeared.

    Windshield wiper issue in auto mode

    I had the exact same issue. I simply cleaned the wiper blades with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth and it completely solved the issue for me. Just put in your wipers into service mode, grab a MF cloth and some isopropyl alcohol, and you should be good to go.

    Emergency door releases and window seals?

    The problem with that is, during an emergency situation, you'd want to the most intuitive/quick operation to get you out of the car, especially one that doesn't have to be learned by other occupants. I don't find the door button to be bad design at all. I actually really like it, since your...

    Feature Idea: Bluetooth as Favorite Media Option.

    I find myself jumping between BT, Slacker Radio, TuneIn, and others. I'd much prefer "Favorites" to include a shortcut to any source, not just the favorites within a source if that makes sense. I've mocked up what I am referring to in the screenshot below. I'd love my favorites to be just...

    DIY Chrome Delete with Plasti Dip

    The logo on the front was done with the same technique. Just mask out a square around the logo, overspray a bit, then peel off the excess. I'll do the camera housings as well, I was just tired after 6 hours worth of work :p

    DIY Chrome Delete with Plasti Dip

    Not sure. From what I hear, it can last a few years depending on how well it was applied. Even if I had to do this once a year, it will still be worth it to save so much money compared to a pro vinyl install (which I've read only lasts about 3 years). Still coming out way ahead with this...

    DIY Chrome Delete with Plasti Dip

    After receiving quotes upwards of $1,000 for a professional vinyl chrome delete, I decided to do my own with 2 cans of black plasti dip, some masking tap, and a few garbage/plastic bags. Total cost: $35. Total time: 6 hours. Most of the effort is in the masking of the car, which took about 4...

    impact of new suspension...

    Michigan Model 3

    I just picked my TM3 in Cleveland 2 weeks ago, live in Troy, MI. I got RWD, of course. Not too worried about it after hearing all of the good things about other EVs and RWD cars in the snow. I've driven a Prius for the last 12 years in our winters and haven't had much of a problem.

    Streaming audio via bluetooth, but not with a phone?

    Yes, you can add any Bluetooth audio device as a "phone." I wish they titled it "Bluetooth" instead of phone, but it works perfectly with several BT devices that weren't phones so far.
