I’m having this exact same problem on 42.3 - happens at least once a day. Anyone else seeing the same problem, or is this usually due to a hardware issue?

Did you get your car back? Curious to see if the new drive unit made a difference, since it didn't with mine...

Roughly the same as before - around 20 and 35mph when accelerating.

I just got my car back today after a month in the PA service center. They claim they swapped out the front drive unit. The “beeping” is definitely less noticeable but is still there. So I’m starting to think maybe it’s just inherent to the design.

The below pic is from the RPM Tesla website. The most noticeable part is how there’s still black showing around the cup holders, which is not the case with the non-wood wraps. Also on the flat panels it doesn’t wrap around, just lies flat on top so you can see the vinyl edge. It’s also...

Why not just get the ones from RPM Tesla? I’ve had them for about a month, and every time ppl sit in my car they’re surprised it’s not OEM. The only downside is that it’s not a full wrap around the edges since the film is pretty thick.

The 2nd T close up looks like Plasti-Dip to me due to the texture. First one looks like a wrap due to the extra material on the corners. Just my guess...

I've had the pre-cut handle wraps from RPM Tesla installed for about a month now with no peeling issues. Granted, I'm fairly careful when opening the doors to avoid the tip, which is where the most fragile part is. The rest of the handle is wrapped pretty thoroughly so I don't have to worry...

No update yet, have been waiting for a loaner car to become available before taking it in. Will post back whenever I have updates.

My issue isn’t with the force required to pull down the trunk, which is fairly easy. Instead, I worry that I almost have to slam it shut to get it to latch properly. I assume this tweak doesn’t affect the latching mechanism, right?

I'm trying to debug if my rattle (from passenger side rear seat, almost sounds like it's coming from the seat belt tensioner) is due to this. Do you know if, prior to your fix, the seat would rattle even if someone was sitting in it and leaning against the back?

FWIW I noticed this high-pitched “beep” immediately in my AWD. It’s most noticeable around 18mph and 35mph. I took it to the Palo Alto SC, and on a test drive one of the techs was able to hear it also. He wasn’t sure if it was normal or not for the 3 since there’s so few of them so far. But...

Just note you either need your registration in-hand, or a signed copy of your purchase agreement.

I’m driving an S75 right now while my AWD 3 is in the SC. As others have stated there are pros and cons. There are obvious features that the S has that the 3 doesn’t (auto-closing hatch, air suspension, more regular door handles). The ride quality is also objectively quieter and smoother...

I don’t think CA plates can go over 7 characters total. With the half space you were at 7.5. Maybe that’s why they removed it?

Yes, they said service centers have a body shop to repair paint. Although my particular DS seemed pretty new, so fingers crossed that he was right! I'll be sure to post pics of the same spots after fixing. I've only ridden in a RWD a couple times, and the driver never punched it so I don't...

Not to make excuses for Tesla, but my wife didn’t even notice these problems before I pointed them out. Some of the paint issues require your eyes to be within 2ft to see. I ended up running my hand over the entire painted surface to find problems. There’s a checkout station you have to...

Wanted to close the loop on this thread - I just took delivery today. The rematch took 6 days, and then another couple days to wait for the next appointment. Delivered VIN is 5468X All in all it was relatively smooth given some of the horror stories here. My delivery story: - Showed up on...

What’s supposed to be better between Photosync and 3M Cry?

To the best of my knowledge, 3M Crystalline only goes down to 40%. This is what I was referring to my earlier post when I said he made claims about %'s that were incorrect. Might not mean much, but personally I'd rather go with someone who's familiar / worked with the product extensively...

Looks nice! How much does something like this cost?

FYI WheelXperts said they could special order the 3M film, and the price they quoted was significantly less than OCDetails.

I take offense to this. I am in no way affiliated with any tint shop, nor do I "have an axe to grind". I was trying to help the community by providing info as I saw it - I made no claims of being an expert in any of this stuff. Obviously it's up to each individual reader to make their own...

FYI I stopped by WheelXperts and frankly came away unimpressed. I looked over a black Model 3 that they had just finished applying Xpel Stealth on.l and was waiting for customer pickup. These were my notes: - The biggest flaw I saw was a tear on the rear bumper piece. - There were quite a few...

Ah sorry no they didn’t into those details and frankly I was too depressed to even think about anything anything else beyond getting an ETA.

Fremont. FWIW they provided an ETA of 1-2 weeks for delivery of the new vehicle.

Got a call from Tesla this morning (original delivery day) saying they found an issue with the drive unit on my car so they’ll need to rematch me with a different car. Sad to have to wait longer, but at least they found it and not me!

Hmm, I don't think that's the case. Don't tints work by rejecting solar energy and not radiant energy?

A big selling point of tints is heat rejection. Your car feels cooler - great! You need to run your a/c less, which gives you more range - even better! But what about in the winter when you might want the extra heat? Given that EV range suffers more with heating than a/c, wouldn't the range...

Close! Mine is 5465X. Was anything wrong with yours? Or was it purely for the white interior?

Got a VIN over e-mail from the sales rep: 5YJ3E1EB9JF054XXX

Long time lurker, first time post. Just got the e-mail this morning setting up delivery in Fremont for 8/1. In case it helps anyone, here's all the relevant data for my reservation: - Non-Owner - Line-Waiter (Palo Alto, CA) 10:45am reservaction - Configured 6/26 @ 9:48pm Pacific - Paying cash...
