Hi everybody, I have this gap between the windshield and the plastic part under the windshield (it’s called cowl screen I believe). It is warped and there are gaps, one to the upside, one to the downside. Car is a late-2018 M3 Mid-Range. No accidents. Only noticed this when I replaced my...

Thanks for the replies so far - yeah that's kind of what I'm thinking too, might just be too much for that person, I'll send her the estimate later today. My other concerns: 1. Will this go onto the carfax? Do all body shops report this? 2. Will the value go down and if yes, how will I get...

Hey, our Model 3 got rear-ended in stop-and-go on the 101 in LA at like 5mph (a story as old as time). Wife even accelerated a bit to avoid collision but no luck. Other person at fault, other party has insurance. Got dashcam video from accident: Got dents + scratches in the rear bumper...

Did LA to Nola and back in February last year in a our Mid-Range M3 after having the car for only 6 weeks - especially now with the faster charging rates it should be easy-peasy and also fairly quick, even with the SR+. Range shouldn't be an issue at all. As others mentioned: at one point...

Hey, just saw this (also thanks for the PM!)! Just ordered! If anybody else wants to get this - the coupon only reflects on the price at the very end. Happy shading!

Ha, good stuff! If anybody has more ideas - maybe a set with a lower price (although the price for the heatshield stuff is pretty good), that'd be great!

Windows are tinted, looking to get shades to put in for overnight to get it way darker. Occasionally we stay on parking lots overnight and the lights are veeeery bright. The tint does next to nothing in those situations

I've been on the lookout for sun shades for our M3 for basically all the windows but the windshield (already got one for the front). On road trips, we do a lot of car camping (with a high end twin mattress and all the works, highly recommended!) but we're looking to keep it darker, cooler and a...

Parking outside exclusively - UNDER A TREE (designated parking spot meeeh) with new constructions on the neighboring lot and 2 additional ones across the street. Had ceramic coating applied one day after delivery. In the summer, I was too lazy for 2 weeks to wash it and 2 bird droppings seemed...

Replacement under insurance or self-paying?

Recently (mid-August) we charged to 100% at a supercharger before we went into Yosemite (Groveland SC, driving through Yosemite all day) and I got 254miles and that's at 15K miles. Only charged to 100% a few times, ran it under 5% maybe 5 times to reach charger.

Interested! Still available? Based in LA.

Interested! Still available? Which part of LA?

Yeah I saw 1 or 2 on the CarMax website here in SoCal, there was an LR (RWD or AWD can't remember) white with aeros that was listed for 47K with around 4K miles IIRC, don't know about EAP/FSD. Would've been an ok deal for some people that would qualify a sizeable amount through RYR, although you...

Just curious - did RYR ever work for anybody getting a Tesla? Already got my M3 but some stars aligned last year and I would've qualified.

Yeah, drive the MS for comparison for a while if you otherwise don't get the chance. It's unlimited miles so did a few roadtrips (which we would have done anyway)

Great write up! I also painted my calipers the same way in late Dec, 2 days after I got the car, my neighbors thought I was nuts. I recommend doing this right away after getting the car so the cleaning/prepping is waaaaay easier. Also, order the decals in time, I had to wait for a week, so I...

#2+#3 Thanks! Ok, yeah I thought so too about the noise reduction (although I saw some graph somewhere from comparing with/without and it was 2db difference or something, but not sure/can't find link), I was just wondering if there are some mojo sensors that would be thrown off by a 'mismatched'...

I'm halfway through my 18" set on my M3 (Dec '18) and I have an unrepairable sidewall puncture in the rear left tire. I didn't wanna buy a new tire (or whole set!) and waste money/tread so I got a used one with more than enough tread that will easily outlast the original tires. I just realized...

Sorted, thx!

If anybody is selling 18" tires/wheels separately (not in a set of 4), I'd take a tire and or tire on wheel. Had a puncture recently on my set (9K miles, solid thread left). Too early to swap them all but also too late to justify buying entirely new unless I really have to. Thanks!

Small chance, but still - would you sell separately? Based in LA too. Edit: Reason: I have an unrepairable puncture in one of my tires.

Hey, I have an unrepairable tire puncture in one of my 18' M3 wheels as well (9k miles). What kind of deal did you get? I need one tire, if you would be willing to ship to LA, I'd take one. Kai

Hey, I came across this during my online research, I was actually thinking about doing the drive myself. Model 3 owner (mid range) since Dec 2018, based in LA (West Hollywood). From what I read, the drive sounds like the right amount of adventurous to us (wife and I). We just did a 14 day road...

Yeah, definitely not a world ending thing and yeah it could also have been another driver and not the SC folks. Unfortunately, it's not just scratches, but also dented, actually right next to that sharp curvature. Should be an easy fix regardless.

Original post is from a while ago, but anyway ... Also had a minor demage near the charge port done, scratch and a dent about 8 inches long, also at the Burbank Service Center. I only found it by accident when removing the SC cable, also it was dark already when I picked it up. Talked to one...

Hey, yeah, I had the MS for more than 2 weeks now and I guess I'll keep it till I get my M3 back. Got mine through Entreprise, I think they ran out of in-house loaners at the service center. Might ask for an X just for jokes. Also, don't know if that's a thing or I might just ask to give the...

Hi, took order of our MR Model 3 with white interior on Dec 22nd 2018. One day later, the error message 'Passenger restraint system fault' pops up and stays on, no matter if somebody's sitting on the passenger seat or not, it also kept coming back after reboots etc. We did drive around with it...

Little update: we're going to re-finance with the CU, there were some hiccups, but it's all gonna work out. We still haven't received the registration, went to the DMV to get a duplicate registration, but they won't provide one within the first 30 days after payment (in our case Tesla had only...

Hey, thx for the reply. Yeah I also did strongly suspect that they wouldn't give oot the APR and they kinda hinted at that when I tried to sweet talk them over the phone. Would the rate stay the same although the car is 2 weeks old or is this considered a re-fi? Got a letter that states the...

Hi, we took delivery of our Model 3 (MR, 18", white int) on December 22nd. Car is great - so far, so good. We were approved through Tesla with TD Auto Finance for 4,64% @ 72 months with 40K financed. Not a spectacular rate, but to put this into perspective, we (me + wife) only moved to the US...
