SOLD.

Not necessarily. There are different types of Autoflex paint, mine was candy glossy finish with about 12 to 14 coats to achieve a very specific depth, color and vibrance. If you pick a vanilla dip paint, then most probably you can just paint the panel that got damaged. With custom combinations...

I had a minor fender bender situation and my Autoflex paint shop said they have to repaint the whole body and not just the panel. The original dip was holding solid like it was brand new, even after 4 years. This is the third time I'm doing a full body Autoflex and absolutely love the quality...

Haven't posted here for a long time now, sorry to see few of you weren't able to get Autoflex in NorCal, hopefully it is available now. Btw, I just updated my M3 Performance with a new Autoflex paint (Root Beer Candy), kept the two tone look.

Had my Model 3 OEM Performance trunk spoiler for the past 3 years, took it out recently and replaced it with an aftermarket glossy one. Spoiler does not have any damage or issues. Just needs a 3M double sided tape and is good to go. Prefer local pick up for $225, but willing to ship at buyers...

Thanks, the Fitment calculator does seem to give some general info on the wheel's proximity to the suspension strut etc. Having said that it is just theory and I want to know if anyone has managed to install larger diameter rims. For instance when I was shopping for tires and wheels, I was...

Does anyone have 21" or 22" wheels on a Model 3 performance? Or have you atleast thought about it? I like my aftermarket Vossen 20" wheels, but there is still a gap between the wheels and the bumper and I dont want to lower the suspension further as it is low enough for me to get in and get...

It feels exactly like a paint, because it is paint :) It it amazing how resilient it is to rock chips and other environment conditions, I trust this lot more than OEM paint, now that I have it on two cars and have seen it first hand driven more than 15,000 miles.

Lol, I go there almost everyday to work out at Golds gym, food, shopping etc. was there early am today. I was out on a international travel last week, but starting from today you should spot a Burgundy Model 3 :)

Thanks. I actually preordered MPP Coilovers and had to cancel, as it was already low enough for me to get in and out, was used to driving BMW X5 :). The ride quality is really good, including cornering and hence decided to leave as is

Sent you a PM.

PM'd you the details.

Glad you like the finish and outcome. Yes, it does look very close to the signature Red paint, especially in sunlight.

Rather than spending $$$ on PPF, take a look into Autoflex paint. It is not a vinyl wrap, but a "peelable" paint that can be easily peeled off anytime down the line, but at the same time protects your OEM paint and most importantly is resistant to rock chips, weather conditions and the finish...

Congrats, wheels look great on M3. I wanted to initially go with Vorsteiner as well but then went with Vossen VFS1 as I was waiting for ever to get the Vorsteiners. Yes, 285 is the way to go, I would have gone wider if it were feasible. I have 245 at the front and 285 at the rear. Have you...

I would look at the Energy consumption graph at both "Instant Range" and "Average range" (for 30 miles) tabs, take the least value of both and subtract another 15 to 20% from that value. So if your battery is showing 85 miles range left, lets assume your energy graph would be showing 75 miles...

220 is on the low end, but 250 sounds about right. Again your Wh/mil will tell if you will be getting the lower end or the higher. Definitely supercharge it few times from 10% all the way to 100% and wait for BMS to calibrate. My first run after charging to 100% after break in was around 250...

It is not OEM, a two tone Autoflex candy paint. Dont want to hijack this thread, but you can find more here here Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3 Btw, multiple people have said the paint looks very close to Signature Red.

I had a very similar experience during my first couple of charges with terrible range on the P3D, but since then I have charged all the way to 100% and used it until the battery came down to 10% or so and I have seen improvement in the range. I have tracked this only once now and in that...

Yes with autoflex pearls, candies and concentrated juices you have more than 40,000 color combinations. I would be quite surprised if you cannot find a single dealer in the entire state. Did a quick search and found these guys, about an hour from you (no idea how good or bad they are) Plasti...

I hope so too. There is a good chance I might buy Model Y next year but will only buy a solid black and get it autoflexed. Even if they release a burgundy finish I will not go for it :), because for almost the same price (or a little extra) I can not only get the color choice I want via...

Your autoflex pictures looks great with the matte and satin finish. Autoflex is certainly a cool invention.

It does standout in real. I was thinking the same about brake calipers, they would look better in a lighter paint (like gold or yellow).

When I took it to the Tesla service center, they said the same thing that it looks close to the Signature red but better. The depth IRL is actually better than in pictures, especially in sunlight the color just pops. However the color looks darker in person compared to the pictures.

Thx. 2 weeks for both chrome delete and autoflex painting.

Few more pics from a recent trip.

Calidips in Oxnard, far from where i live, but they do a really good job.

That is correct and the best part is that autoflex protects your OEM paint all long.

If you are looking for forged wheels and light weight, there are quite a few available in market. Vossen, Vorsteiner etc I have 20" Vossen VFS1 wheels on mine with a staggered setup; 9" wheels at front and 10.5" rear wheels. Not for efficiency at all :), the ride on the other hand is what I...

Drove to Joshua tree this weekend.

With stock 20" wheels you should get better efficiency than mine. What are you averaging on KW/hr ? I have so far averaged 305 kw/hr for 1600 miles.

I noticed the same when I first drove my P3D, it is getting better now. If you have not charged all the way to 100%, I would recommend doing that doing. The BMS (Battery Management System) will slowly start learning and understanding your overall battery capacity. I have so far charged to 100%...

I would never rely on the battery range that displays the number of miles remaining. Always use the Energy consumption meter which is much more accurate depicting the current driving conditions, you can also toggle between a 30 mile average and current driving condition. I learned it during my...

Right and take it to a street drift :) OTOH I wasnt sure about red and black combo, so far im pleased. Earlier this week I took it to a Tesla showroom and the guys over there said it looks very close to the Signature Red that Model S used to come with.

Here are few more, not exactly sunny side but a few showing front view and side.

lol, probably by few milli meters :)

Got it painted with 12 coats of autoflex burgundy candy, with a two tone finish.

Yes similar and can be peeled off, just that Autoflex is of professional grade and plastidip is not. Autoflex is definitely a great alternative since when it started to get popular couple of years back, got it done on my BMW and had it for a year, so I know it is very durable and holds the...

Yes I specifically wanted the two tone look, so had to explain the paint guy.. feel free to replicate it, it stands out from every other Model3 here and there are plenty :)

Thanks, I wasn't sure about red too, but wanted to try and pleased so far.

Neither am I and this is not a wrap :). About 12 to 13 coats of paint; so it can be washed, buffed, waxed, polished, coated etc.

Thanks. Chrome delete costs around $700, the autoflex candy job around $2500 or more depending on the shop.

Just got the P3D painted with Burgundy candy autoflex and chrome delete too. The car is straight out of the autoflex job, have not yet done cut and buff nor waxed, will take care of these in the next few weeks. Also the logos are not yet placed back. This is a great alternate to PPF, not only...

I just charged my P3D from 28% to 100% today in 1 hour and 20 mins.

Have you ever charged the car all the way to 100%? If so how many times since the past 3 months? If you have not, I would recommend to charge all the way atleast a couple of times. I have been noticing a significant drain in my Model 3 too, but as soon as I charged to 100% (for the first time)...

Not just weather, elevation plays a role too. And not to mention the winds which are a considerable factor in California. I would use A Better Routeplanner, which takes into account all of these factors to plan a route between source and destination. If you know your reference consumption...

Wheels are sold now. Thanks for all the messages.

Working with a confirmed buyer to close the deal this week. Have already received advance amount, will keep this open until the deal is completed.
