It came out really nice. We ended up spending around 12 hours for doing it on 2 cars simultaneously. Just followed the instructional videos that are available in this forum and youtube. Plan ahead, order all supplies and just dedicate about a day, that's it!!!

I recently applied ceramic coat myself. In fact, my friend and I did both the cars together. We ended up spending around $400 for materials for both the cars and around 12 hours of labor. It was not bad. There are a lot of good videos, tips in this forum. I am very happy with the results. Good...

When I got the notification that a new update is available, it already downloaded it. When I choose apply it now, it just applied it. Overall took under 10 min.s to complete update.

Got the 39.7 update last night. My observations so far, improved auto pilot especially around smooth breaking, head up option in addition to north up in maps, web browser with decent load time, and able to send destination address from google maps on my Samsung S9+ directly to 3.

Front windows 50%, rear windows 35% with xpel prime. No difference in auto dimming after applying window tint.

Applied cquartz UK 3.0 ceramic coat on my 3 and friend's 3 too in about a day. Great walk through and tips from the videos posted in this thread and elsewhere. The overall process is not bad, but definitely laborious. It took us about 12 hours for 4 guys to complete 2 cars. Here are high level...

Here are pics of dual puck QI wireless charger from RPM Tesla. I am not too impressed by the way as it requires phone to in a specific position for it to charge. I would rather wait for Tesla's wireless charger to be available and go with that.

Ahh, ok. Service center might be able to help you with fixing aero when cap issue while you wait. SC in Richmond is great with helping us out for quick fixes with out long wait.

Alright, my friend and I completed ceramic coat on my Model 3 and his too in about a day. It took us good 12 hours to complete 2 cars. We were working on both the cars together. We are very pleased with the results. It's not at all difficult, but it's definitely labor intensive. Here are a few...

Haven't installed door edge guards yet, but they are on the list :)

Yes, I had it happen to me once so far in about 4 weeks of driving. I did the same thing you mentioned, got out of the car and got back in. I am planning to make a SC appointment if it happens again.

You are not factoring in additional supplies cost, which could bring the total cost to $250-$300. My friend and I are planning to apply c quartz UK 3.0 on his car and mine this weekend. We are sharing supplies and tools and the total cost comes to $400, so $200 per car.

That seems really high. I have auto insurance, home owner's insurance through AllState as well. I pay $375 for Tesla 3 and $330 for Infiniti QX60 for 6 months. My deductibles are $100 for comprehensive and $500 for collision. No tickets in the last 5 years.

Sorry, meant to say solid black was 0.

When I placed my order on 6/30/2018 multi-coat red was $1500 which is now $2500. On my MVPA it shows the correct amount $1500, however on the placard it shows $2000 which is the price when it was manufactured in Aug 2018. Placard does not list EAP either for me. As of 6/30, multi coats (red and...

I asked the service center about this when I was there for a minor issue. They told me that they are doing beta testing this week and start releasing to others next week.

Just finished installing Dual puck Qi wireless charger from RPM Tesla. It's slim design is good to keep low profile. However, if the phone is not in a specific position it does not charge it. It will be difficult to keep the phone in that specific position especially when the car moves. Will...

Thank you!!! I like the wheels with aero covers and as well as bare. I am planning to drive some days with aero covers on and some other days with out them for a change.

My 3 was delivered on Sept 10th. I did a few mods so far. 1. XPEL Ultimate Plus ppf for full front 2. XPEL Prime window tint with 50% for front windows, 35% for rear windows and back window (full back window) 3. Kenriko matte black center console - Amazon...

Yeah, I wish VA has good incentives for owning EV car. Here's a link with good info on HOA rules in VA, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes - Rules and FAQs Even if you have a clean vehicle plates from MD, unfortunately those plates don't let you drive on HOA lanes in VA for free.

I have Kenriko matte black wrap. I had the auto salon install it when they were installing full front xpel ppf. Attached is a pic of it. No more finger prints all over the console, I love it!!!

Recently ceramic tinted my Model 3 windows with 50% front windows, 35% rear windows, and back window using xpel prime. I have received life time warranty and that this is honored by any xpel certified shops in the US. Attached are some pics of my 3 in different weather conditions.

If you placed your order by June 30th you would have received free to life-time. Orders placed on or after July 1st 2018 get 1-year free subscription. I believe it's $85 per year. From my about 10-days of owning M3, haven't encountered any issues with radio streaming.

I received my 3 on the 10th with 34.1 already installed. I haven't driven much, but haven't experienced any issues with auto pilot, AC, etc. that are mentioned here. Couple of observations from my 8-days of driving, 1. Door entry/exit with my Samsung S9+ works well except in a couple of...

My car had it too. Service Center took care of it in a few minutes right after delivery.

Ahh, ok, good to know.

Tesla offers loaner car while they keep your car for repairs. My friend dropped his car yesterday for another issue and got S as a loaner.

Thank you!!!

2pm delivery today, it's been nothing but fantastic. There is so much more to explore and experience :)

Thank you!!! IT went smoothly for the most portion. Paper work got completed in 5 minutes. I was told there is no walk thru, but delivery specialist covered almost everything including linking Tesla from my phone and my wife's phone, user preferences, charging, and warranty. Felt a little...

Just took delivery of my 3. It went smoothly; took about an hour overall. There was just one other car that's scheduled at the same time, so looks like 2 cars in 1 hour slot. Delivery specialist mentioned that there is no specific walk through other than connecting car from my phone, explaining...

Congratulations!!! I am scheduled to pick up my car today at 2pm. I did check it out in the parking lot yesterday. I noticed rear left light is not flushed properly too. Did you ask them to fix it?

I told my IDA that I need MVPA with VIN on it for processing loan. He gave vin right away and then MVPA with VIN on it almost 2 weeks prior to scheduled delivery date. He was going to get me MVPA with vin about 4-5 days prior to delivery, but upon requesting that I needed this to process loan...

For those of you who are interested, here are my observations from looking at a few 3s, Ss, and Xs in Tesla Service Center parking lot over the weekend right after it rained. 3s - I did not check every single car in the lot, but all the cars I looked had orange shade on the front half of the...

I saw it parked in the rear lot today with 9/10 delivery written on it. Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow :)

Also, congrats on your new Tesla. Hope things went well with delivery.

That does not seem to be 18" aero wheels, but will check it out in case they have already unloaded.

You the man!!!! Let me go check it, thanks a lot buddy. I am scheduled for Monday, 9/10 as of now.

I was told similar information on adding ceramic coat on top of ppf to make it look shiny and nice for years.

My vin# is 545xx. I expressed my concern about low vin# with IDA and asked if it's a reject car. He confirmed that it's not a reject car. Upon visiting local Tesla service center, I realized that vin#s are all over the place. I stopped worrying about vin#.

I asked my IDA if the vin assigned to me was a reject and he said it's not.

I was quoted $4000 for xpel clear and $4500 for xpel stealth at a xpel certified shop. The other xpel certified shop in the area quoted $4500 for clear and $5300 for xpel stealth. $850 for ceramic coating at the first shop and the other one quoted $1500.

Received a call from DA saying that delivery would be delayed. Moved from 9/6 to 9/10. Reserved: 4/1/2016 Ordered: 6/30/2018 Initial email from DA: 8/13 VIN assigned: around 8/16 Delivery originally scheduled: 9/6/2018 New delivery date: 9/10/2018 Red LR AWD 18" Aero EAP

I have just stopped by local Tesla Service Center to inquire about protection film. They mentioned that Tesla Model 3 (didn't ask about S or X) does not come with any protection film. They mentioned that several customers are getting ppf from outside shop and offered to email a couple of references.

Digital Federal Credit Union, located in MA. I have been doing online banking with them for over 18 years, never had any issues :)

Ahh, nice. 10am. Red AWD Aero wheels.

Yes, $1000 initial deposit and $2500 when order was placed were both credited. You should have received MVPA with VIN# on it to process loan with your bank.

My DA reached out to me via email approximately month and half after I placed the order and a little over 3 weeks prior to the delivery. He included approximate car arrival and delivery dates along with what information he needed from me.

Just finalized auto loan with DCU for 65 months, 2.49%. Delivery scheduled for 9/6
