Any suggestions for shops in the Denver/springs area who have done work on Tesla's modifying suspensions / alignments / etc? Can find a general shop but good to know one that already has done MPP camber arms for example

I am building a new house and the builder has an option to finish the garage + run a 50A circuit to a 220V outlet (which they agreed to make a box) for me. Is it worth it to get that setup ahead of time for the HWPC? Or should I just leave it unfinished, have a 3rd party install on a full 60A...

Moving from California to Colorado! I'll be switching between winter / summer tires. I know the min recommended storage temp of the P4S's when off the car is 40F. If I simply have them stacked in my garage in colorado, will that be safe enough? uninsulated garage. What do people who live there...

Heard good things about the carbotech compounds for track use, but which ones are people running? Choosing the Correct Compound – Carbotech Lots of options in the XP family! Any big issues with street driving XP compound? The bedding procedure they recommend looks intense.

Got the "your 12V battery is dying" warnings, and the car actually didn't start a few times (lights flickering/refusing to have the screen go on). Eventually (after waiting a while) everything did power up with only the "12V needs to be replaced soon" warning I have about 65% on the main pack...

So as part of my coilovers, lowered the car ~1". I currently have this jack XL20 - 2 Ton Extra Low Service Jack min height of 3.5". I have the low profile reverse logic jack pads (0.75" ish, 18mm) Tesla jack pads for Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y apparently that is not enough to reach...

I have gone through two of the tesla T logo/emblems on my hood now where I had them painted red and it (eventually) flakes off anyone recommend a better way (cerakote? powder coating?) to get them to stay red? Don't like the stickers since they leave a small bit of chrome showing

Some people on reddit reporting that 2020.12 completely gimped dynomode. Anyone have this update that can report? Dynotest gimped in 2020.12, no more drifting : teslamotors

So this is 3rd time I am getting "autopilot features limited, may be restored on next drive" App w269 is the error code it gives. I can do vanilla AP, but no EAP features (e.g. refuses to change lanes) It seems to be related to condensation (e.g. when it drops below 20) or when the cameras are...

So if it is raining or snowing, smart summon turns on the wipers Does anyone know what happens if you try to summon but the wipers are pulled up? E.g. like you would if it was going to ice overnight. Does it try to move them or does it give up?

Curious what kind of systems people use! I know MPP sells their really fancy one Have heard people recommend VBOX as a data collector and SoloStorm as the app for analysis. What's out there?

So as of the 11/19/19 fasttrack, SCCA classed a modified model 3 in ASP. Not too unreasonable given that it says "A Street Prepared (ASP) – AWD turbo sedans and medium performance coupes and sports cars." PAX is slightly easier than BSP, but not nearly as lenient as STU (where I hoped they...

So I bottomed out pretty hard while autocrossung and managed to slam the pinch weld through the plastic rocker panel. So now it looks like this How hard is it to pop the panel off to try and get the weld back inside? Tesla says $300 for the new plastic bit. Do I need to worry about rust and...

Looking into replacing my springs with a full coilover solution, but not sure I will be satisfied with the stiffness of the MPP and UP solutions. Does anyone have data taken on the stock spring rates of the P3D? Or how much stiffer the UP/MPP solutions really are? Got a chance to drive...

Going to be installing coilovers next year as part of autocross improvements When doing so does it make sense to improve the sway bar, leave it stock or take it out completely?

Saw this recently, wonder how it stacks up vs the bandit/the law. I myself have the super cheap "drill eye bolts through the provided plastic " but would consider getting something like this just because it installs so damn easily. But will the plastic hold up vs the metal of the other designs?

So sentry told me my car alarm went off this morning. Except when I checked, found nothing wrong. And all of the videos from that time event (plus a few more earlier than evening) are corrupted (all 595 bytes). All my other videos, including ones later that day are fine. I'm using a 500 GB...

New owners in California, what's your VLF? For those who don't know, Vehicle License Fee or VLF is a percent of value property tax you pay yearly on your car. It is supposed to update based on value of the car. But my P3D is now 'worth' 62k new instead of 79.5k new like when I bought and i...

So whenever @MountainPass or @UnpluggedP come out with front suspension pieces for camber adjustment, I plan on doing a full suspension change out on my P3D (coilovers, front and rear camber plates etc) When I do so, could i sell my old suspension parts to someone with an AWD if they wanted to...

Anybody know the reason on why the manual says not to use windshield wiper fluid with bug wash? I get a ton of the suckers here, was hoping to use that like I did on my old car

So I didn't know this, but apparently while driving on the track (or autocross in this case), a rock can get stuck in your caliper. This causes the brake pad to not release and for a horrible squealing to occur. People at the track AND tesla service said "accelerate hard, brake hard. reverse...

What kind of tire pressures do people use while running autocross or track? I'm planning on around 35 PSI for my RE71Rs

So I'm going to be getting my braking setup for my P3D+ improved with fluids/pads to be better on track. How far should I go? For fluid, I've heard go for Castrol SRF or Motul RBF 600. Is there any reason to worry about performance fluid other than cost? Are there others I should consider? My...

So I learned my lesson from my first track day lesson last year but got to pay the price today. Had to replace both front Sport 4S's in my P3D because the shoulders got ripped apart from autocross, wires showing in multiple places. So I'm in the process of setting up to use RE71Rs for the...

So it is fairly common for me to walk up to the car and have to try a few times to unlock as my bluetooth likes to be finicky. How does that interact with sentry mode? Will the alarm go off if I try to open the door if the bluetooth isnt happy yet?

Got a "warning" for speeding and of course issued a fix-it since I refuse to put on the front plate on my model 3. Should I just pay it in full or any recommendations for "looks permanent but actually removable" front plates? Do the cops actually buy those? What happens if I get another one in...

My ultrasonic sensors have been acting up a bit lately. Occasionally (even while driving) they will flash red and show the "stop" warning as if something was <10" away from me (front or back). But there's nothing there. It then goes away and doesn't cause any more issues, but it's kinda annoying...

Did a test fit with XXR 559, 18-8.5, +35mm offset and the one I got worked on the fronts. Didn't test the back : big mistake XXR 559 got all 4 with Michelin Cross climate+ mounted up : only 3 of 4 clear! Back left is hitting the caliper. But back right clears! what gives? Ended up grinding...

Anybody know if someone sells a 73.1 to P3D hub ring with the weird lip? Know it's not 100% necessary for 3rd party wheels but would be easier if I had it.

Here's the latest response I'm seeing "We have been advised that the carbon fiber spoiler and badging are just now becoming available. We do have a work order created for your vehicle for this issue. As soon as the parts arrive, our Mobile Team will reach out to you to have these installed at...

So I would highly recommend just cancelling your 18" wheel deliveries from TST. Absolutely calling out @Tsportline here When originally ordered 18" rims were said to "ship by end of october". I was then reassured both here, over the phone and via email that 11/15 was the next date to start...

https://3.tesla.com/model3/design#battery interesting. So guaranteed 8-10 week delivery time. Will be interesting to see what they do for the inevitable 2 or 3 that don't make it through

When I turn on my turn signals it highlights the street sign on top of the signal post! why is the light from the signal going so ridiculously high?

So when I negotiated my work package (ppf, tint, ceramic, chrome delete, wheel powder coat) I of course asked for seamless PPF Store agreed and they overall did a great job with wrapping the edges on the bumper and everything looks great. Except... There are 2 very visible seams on either...

I'm wrapping a few parts of the car (e.g. side accents) in red and want to match the brake calipers. What's the best 3M color for that? Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/3M-G203-GLOSS-METALLIC-Vinyl/dp/B008OIVGZI any other suggestions?

So when I have the sun really go through my windshield it's like there's small little lines everywhere. Random directions. Initially I just thought it was dirty but cleaning inside and out doesn't make it go away. It's almost like there is particulate suspended in the glass (very fine). I can...

So I'm doing my apartment search moving to San Diego looking for EV charging. Seems like this isn't a filter on most apartment sites yet. Any recommendations from people on how to best find apartments with EV charging?

Here's quotes from the 3 shops I'm comparing in San Diego Looking at 5point Auto, Auto Armor and Modern Image (won't say whose quote is which to be fair) 1. PPF (Full Front + Rockers + Rear Quarterpanels), one is SunTek Ultra, the others are Xpel. Custom with disassembly (still debating if...

I was all set to take delivery of my P3D on 8/15. Unfortunately my company has decided to move me cross country, so I had to reject and put in a different delivery location (Tesla said they could not just ship that car cross country for me). What's been the experience with people on the "4 to...

From my inside sales advisor + supervisor "Checking in regarding the Model 3 Performance package! I had the chance to confirm with my supervisor that the brake calipers are upgraded with the $5,000 performance upgrade package. He also confirmed that the 18” Aero Wheels cannot fit with the...
