    RPMTesla Dash Swap

    I ordered a dash replacement from them and the quality was not very good. I ended up returning 2 of them before ordering from another company (Fusion Motor Sports). Definitely shop around.

    Ordered M3P coming from FBO E85 Golf R...hope the Model 3 can check the same boxes

    I came from a stock Mk7 R. I think that the Golf is built a bit better, but I’m not going back to gas after having a P3D for a year. The downsides are minimal. It seems so silly to make all that noise just to propel a car now. Not to mention the smell and huge disparity in efficiency. I...

    2021 Rear Seat Squeak/Rattle

    mine only rattled when it was upright. It also felt really loose when moving the seatback side to side. Once I fixed that it eliminated the rear seat noise and made the car enjoyable to drive again. That bushing is a poor design and should be revised.

    2021 Rear Seat Squeak/Rattle

    The second part in this video fixed my problem. The bushing that he shows slid off the same way on mine. You have to remove the rear seat back to be able to fix it, but it’s worth the effort.

    Window Squeak Issue

    I am having the same issue. It was just my drivers side at first and now all windows are doing it to some degree. I made a service center appointment but they canceled it claiming that it is “expected behavior.” I have never owned or even been in a car that squeaks like this. There must be...

    Best mud flaps?

    I agree. They are high quality, look OEM and are simple to install.

    Discussion: Tesla Vision system for Model 3/Y

    Same here. My wife’s X5 is so much better at “Autopilot” it’s laughable.

    Unhappy with fit of spoiler purchased from RPM Tesla

    This doesn’t surprise me. I just returned a carbon fiber dashboard replacement that they sold to me as new. I don’t think even Tesla would say that it was “within spec.” Gaps and misalignments abound. I will be avoiding them in the future for sure.

    Ok - I will get a quote for that.

    20" Uberturbine wheel and tire set - New England

    I received some questions about the scratches mentioned. As you can see, they are only on one of the wheels from when my son knocked it over in the garage. If they are noticeable to you they would be easily fixed by any wheel shop that swaps them out for you. Also, some interest on shipping...

    20" Uberturbine wheel and tire set - New England

    These came on my M3P that was delivered in June. Some small scratches as seen in photos. I switched to a smaller wheel size due to my local roads. It looks like most of these sets are going for $3000 - $3500 plus shipping on Ebay. $2500 seems fair. I'm not really interested in shipping...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yes, I agree with your sentiment. However, I did pay an additional $750 to have it delivered. Maybe I'm expecting too much. Anyway, I am just fed up with how this company operates. I promise to not post any more negative comments on this thread. ;-) I have an appointment at my closest...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Ha! Not really. The car is fine. This is just the final straw for me. I am just done dealing with this company. The lack of professionalism and respect is egregious. I have decided that I don't want to own this car as I do not want to ever have to deal with them again. It's a personal...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Mine was delivered to my home yesterday. I wasn't there when it was dropped off. I didn't sign anything or see anyone It is covered in bird droppings and tree sap / pitch. There are some small defects that need to be addressed, but nothing major. Honestly, had I been home, I would have...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I rejected a delivery back in March. This is the replacement.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Any of you that are stalking your car at Paramus, NJ I'll pay for a few pics of mine. Mine is there and they are supposed to ship it later this month. They will not take photos prior to delivery. PM me if you are going to go by there and are willing to snap a few pics. Thanks!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I understand. I had to reject mine back in March for similar reasons. I just received a new VIN but I’ve lost that excitement this time around. I don’t want to go through that again. I'm also not happy about losing all that safety tech from the removal of radar. I know they say that they...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Misaligned headlights, taillights, frunk, trunk and roof glass, scratched interior trim, stained headliner, spoiler pulling away from trunk. All things that could be addressed by a service center I’m sure, but I live 2+ hours away from the closest one. Full disclosure: I am pretty particular...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Declined delivery today. Too many issues with the car for me to deal with living so far from a service center. Planning to try one more time, but the rep said it will be the end of June before it’s available. I don’t understand why Tesla doesn’t make more of these things so that there is a...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Do all these new deliveries include the new headlights and heated steering wheels? My VIN is 9143XX and I don't know how to look up the build date and whether or not it comes with the new headlights / steering wheel. Any info appreciated!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I got a VIN. Just ordered last Saturday. MSM/White interior. Where do I post my VIN/details to share with others? Is there a way to determine manufacture date by VIN alone?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I’m not sure I would want the first version of any new Tesla feature with that level complexity. That said, I do want the new headlights and heated steering wheel. I haven’t received a VIN yet, but it does sound promising that those will be included. Does anyone know if they fixed either the...

    Waze, Model Y and Cell phone holder

    CP/AA do not have to take over the interface. It could be implemented as part of the entertainment section of the Tesla interface. In fact it is not even capable of full screen in some cars with larger displays. See attached image of a Volvo touch screen for reference.

    Waze, Model Y and Cell phone holder

    Am I the only one that finds these threads ridiculous? This is a solved problem on almost every new car sold today by way of CarPlay and Android Auto. Tesla’s resistance to implementing it in their cars is so frustrating. These are the most technologically advanced cars on the road. All of...

    What's your top feature request that could be accomplished via software update?

    CarPlay. Solves a lot of issues. Make it an option for those that want it.

    M3P- . What is it, how to order it, etc.

    I’m having the same dilemma. I found a P3D- with 19s and am about to pull the trigger but it’s only a $3500 difference to get a P3D+. Potholes and cold weather are a way of life for 5-6 months a year here so I will be using a winter setup. The 19s in the summer and 18s in the winter are...

    P3D- vs P3D+

    Thanks for the feedback. After reading your replies I think the only concern for me is track mode. I would like to occasionally auto cross and also have some fun in the winter months. If they disabled that it would be sad trombone for sure. Now I just need to decide if’s worth the $5k and...

    P3D- vs P3D+

    That would be my plan. I would use the 18s as the wheels for my winter tires (selling the stock tires) and get a set of light 19s with summers for performance. I’m just curious if I’d be missing the suspension and brake upgrades that the P3D+ offers. As well as wondering if track mode is...

    P3D- vs P3D+

    Has anyone driven these cars back to back to compare handing and braking, etc.? I'm considering a purchase of a P3D- given the recent price cuts, but I'm curious if I'm missing anything by doing so. I have no interest in the 20' wheels or spoiler, but suspension upgrades would be nice if they...

    Sports car enthusiast opinions wanted

    Thank you very much for all the thoughtful replies! In reading through them I think a weekend car would be a good idea, but not necessary. We already have an X5 that currently serves as the family hauler so I have that base covered. I have a history of German cars and the class of car that...

    Sports car enthusiast opinions wanted

    I am considering a P3D and would like to hear from some sports car enthusiasts that have had their Model 3s for awhile. Most of the threads that I have seen on this subject stem from new owners during the honeymoon period, or people that have moved up from appliance cars like a Prius, etc. I’m...

    Upcoming changes to Model 3

    I still can’t understand why they are using this headliner color on the 3. It looks terrible with the white interior, and doesn’t look great with the black either. Standardize on a black headliner for all models and it would look SO much better. I can’t imagine it would cost any more than the...

    Buy now or wait?

    This is exactly my thought. Everything is so rushed, disorganized and hyped that it's difficult to know what to do. My delivery would probably be Dec. which puts it right before winter where I would have to contend with snow/sand/salt and poor charging etc. with my brand new car.

    Buy now or wait?

    I'm considering ordering a car now to get the rebate, but I feel like waiting might be a better idea. If I waited until spring/summer I'd end up with a car with better build quality and potentially more options / equipment. Anyone else in the same boat?

    white interior, gray headliner?

    That's good to know. I'd bet they don't give those away. I guess I'm in the minority in not liking the gray. It is a pretty minor nitpick in an otherwise great car!

    Cold weather performance

    I have been reading a lot of posts regarding the range loss, etc. during cold weather (our winters are usually between 0F and 40F). I was wondering if someone would share their experience regarding battery preheating and performance. I have read that the Tesla app now allows activation of...

    white interior, gray headliner?

    I went for a test drive in the P3D+ a few days ago. What an awesome car! I really liked the white interior a lot. The only thing that bothered me was the gray headliner. It really looked wrong with the white and black of the rest of the interior. I found it a strange omission, but...

    Potential owner- 24hr M3 test drive observations

    I just rented a RWD Model 3 overnight as an extended test drive. What a blast to drive! I had a great experience overall. The drivetrain is second to none and the handling was excellent. I am very impressed with the car and I am still considering ordering one. I had a few criticisms of the...
