    12v Switched?

    Question about my relay setup for radar detector. My power cord has a fuse built in, should I cut the fuse off to connect to the relay?

    12v Switched?

    What are you using for power? I'm planning on using vcleft port for power and running relay to the brown wire like eXntrc. Thanks for the clarification and pics would be great if you get a chance.

    12v Switched?

    Did you ever get a response for this? Looking to tap this wire without a relay for a radar install if it will be ok. Thanks

    New Model 3 Radar Detector Hardwire

    So my radar has been working fine on the limited testing for the past week. Took a longer drive and about 20 minutes in my brand new uniden r3 goes dead and won't come back on. Played a round of golf and came back and still no power. Drove an hour home, came inside for a bit and went back out to...

    New Model 3 Radar Detector Hardwire

    Just wired mine to the 6 pin connector in driver's side footwell thinking it was still switched power. Then noticed the detector wouldn't shut off and came to this thread to see it's no longer switched. That sucks

    Annoying CNN article...

    Well at this point there are no unbiased news outlets to watch which is ridiculous. Not trying to get political here as I am pretty sure we have enough division going on

    Things to make cabin quieter - in order of easiest to hardest?

    So can you just call the service center and order it? I would also like to order the chrome window trim and install myself if it's that easy.

    Model 3 Performance Spacers

    Wondering if you all have noticed a discernable loss of range with the spacers. This is the only reason I am on the fence although I may have to just bite the bullet as it looks soo much better. Thanks in advance!

    Wheel Spacers on Aftermarket Wheels (Perf and Non-Perf)

    Is an alignment required after adding spacers? I just put springs on and plan on adding spacers later on, just wondering if I will need another alignment. Tia

    Finally!! Eibach has a SR+ lowering spring.

    Ok gotcha, I'm not real sure. I do know the center bolt in the strut assembly was not torqued correctly and was squeaking and sitting higher but once tightened it stopped. Is that what you are referencing. Sorry I didn't read thru this whole thread when I posted but just did and see you have...

    Finally!! Eibach has a SR+ lowering spring.

    Np, I'm really glad it's finally done and everything worked out well. There is a set of sockets that will work from Amazon from Sablue, they are mentioned in the big thread about lowering the 3. It's ridiculous how small the hole is for the socket...

    Finally!! Eibach has a SR+ lowering spring.

    Which bolts are your referring, I'm not sure as my friend worked the spring compressor. That's odd about the rear measurements being off, are you measuring up the center of wheel? My measurements are all the same with rear a qtr inch lower. Also 1.5 up front is a little more than advertised...

    Finally!! Eibach has a SR+ lowering spring.

    I did trim front and rear by abt 20mm taking off the first rib. Hard to get real precise, I used a serrated kitchen knife and it worked well. Who knows if that's the right move with differing opinions abound.

    Finally!! Eibach has a SR+ lowering spring.

    Coilovers are def the way to go if you can afford it. I'm hoping to continue enjoying the springs although I do have limited testing miles but so far so good. Gl with your MPP order, I'm sure they will be great.

    Finally!! Eibach has a SR+ lowering spring.

    No the photo is not quite level ground sloping down towards front. Wheels are 19s and drop just over an inch I believe. Ground to fender is 27-1/2 in front and 27-1/4 in rear so I guess that classifies as reverse rake although it's not noticeable. I did not take pre drop measurements but was...

    Finally!! Eibach has a SR+ lowering spring.

    I finally got around to installing the pro kit for long range rwd after purchasing the springs over a year ago. Initial impressions after about 15 miles is ride feels smoother and corners way better. I'm not hearing any additional road or car noise. Sport mode puts this thing on rails and I...

    Creaking from front at low speeds

    Whats your production date? I have a 5/18 RWD and wondering if it was corrected during production or am I possibly looking at a faulty upper control arm in the near future. I am at 17k miles now, TIA

    Best DIY Clear PPF for the front of the Model 3. Please Help

    Bumper was the hardest. But keeping any lint, dirt, or hair from getting on the film was tricky, also getting some of edges to stick. It was very tedious and time consuming and I did a poor job, would gladly pay next time to get it perfect

    Best DIY Clear PPF for the front of the Model 3. Please Help

    I used the Suntek kit from ebay on my black model 3. It was much harder than I anticipated and I am fairly handy at most things. Black shows every single mistake, I would pay someone if l could do it over. If your not concerned about it being perfect then go for it.

    Loud pop from front dash speaker

    So I was driving and heard a loud pop from front dash speaker. Both front door and dash speakers were inoperable while rear speakers were still working. Volume was only at 1/2 to 3/4 and all sound came back after a 2 button reset. Curios if anyone has experienced this or know what may have happened.

    Annual license plate renewal fees - how much in your state?

    I am all for paying my fair share for the roads, I just don't agree with the arbitrary 200+$ figure. I think the mileage driven for that year is how the tax should be accessed. Not to mention we are taxed on the power bill.

    Tint problem and seeking advises

    I had issues with my tint job as well, the guy said he would redo and when he stripped the tint the defrost lines were damaged in multiple places. He retinted and when I would turn on the defrost half of the lines would not work. I luckily got him to strip the tint a 2nd time and refund the tint...

    Limited replacement tire options for the 19s?

    This is a good question. I am planning on adding the spacers along with Eibach springs to lower the car about 1.2 inches and would be interested if the 245's would cause any issues. thanks

    Touchup paint

    I just got a kit off Ebay for 14 bucks. Came with an ounce of paint and 2 small brushes. Applied a thin coat earlier and seems to match well. Wiped the excess with alcohol and plan do put a few more coats til filled.

    Replacing Rear Glass after Stress Crack Formed

    Earlier builds had the full uv coating just noticable on the factory tinted section. For those with aftermarket tint that will illuminate the bottom portion as well making the entire glass light up so there are only 2 types of glass, those with the coating and those without. It's what I...

    Replacing Rear Glass after Stress Crack Formed

    Ok so the rear piece that you replaced doesn't have the hue, just the glass piece above the driver. Thanks for the info

    Replacing Rear Glass after Stress Crack Formed

    The hue is mainly visible with a light mist or rain and you would def notice, it's quite a spectacle. The full glass will have the coating just more pronounced with the section that is tinted. If you tint the glass it will be uniform.

    Has anyone DIY'd a PPF installation?

    I got a pre fab full front suntek kit from ebay for about 600. First time DIY and I am fairly handy but struggled with it. I also have a black car so any imperfection is magnified and the edges are not wrapped and dirt in the seams is starting to show. Looking back I would have gladly paid...

    Can you advise the build dates on these? I am looking to replace my rear window due to defrost damage but am hesitant because of production of the non orange glass.

    Frozen window dented chrome trim

    My tint installer scratched my top piece of chrome and I was quoted 170$ a piece. I have read on this forum earlier in the year they were around 60$. Not sure if the pricing has gone up since then or if my quote is wrong.

    Rear Defrost Line Damaged

    Still haven't resolved the issue. There are a few repairs to patch the defrost line with permatex being one I know of. Plan as of now is to have the tint removed, hopefully no more damage in the process, apply the permatex and retint. I will update this thread once complete... fingers crossed
