    Sentry Mode not working during break ins / Removing rear seat latch

    I disagree. Most of them are "stupid" hence the life decisions that they have made. Not to mention the fact that when I have my seats down, and there is nothing in the trunk, a thief still decides to smash the window only to realize there is nothing in the trunk. I do realize this could have...

    Sentry Mode not working during break ins / Removing rear seat latch

    Visual cues like a bright red locking mechanism on the latch + sticker on windows that read SEATS LOCKED?

    Sentry Mode not working during break ins / Removing rear seat latch

    Nope. The one and only time mine has been broken was when I was parked on a main street, and the back seat was down. Albeit the other seat was not down but there was a carseat there so you couldn't lower the seat without first removing the carseat. The window that was broken was on the side...

    Sentry Mode not working during break ins / Removing rear seat latch

    Possibly the first evidence of the sentry mode feature working? https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Tesla-records-its-own-break-in-helps-SF-police-13753594.php Hopefully word will get out so stupid people stop being stupid and breaking windows. One can only hope

    V9.0 Dashcam continues to record in Garage

    true, i guess I'm more hoping Elon will turn all the car's cameras into passive recording systems so you can pull up different camera views on your app while it's parked. Would be nice to be able to check in on the surroundings of the car, and if I get a smashed window again, at least I would be...

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    I ended up ordering a pair of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B010HWCS50/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Video of it here: My windows are tinted so hopefully the decal will not be as noticeable. Not sure if this will help but hopefully it will be somewhat of a...

    V9.0 Dashcam continues to record in Garage

    On the flipside, it would be nice if the dashcam could keep recording even when the car is sleeping. Would be helpful to possibly record the people who continue to smash rear windows. Happened to me last night

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    I thought the same thing. One of my projects is a block away on Webster and I know the area well. My mom works in the area and I frequent the restaurants in the area. And we even parked on the main road, in front of a well-lit apartment complex across from the new Athletic Club Bar. And this...

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    I used to think the frunk was safer but then I saw a youtube video where you can pop open the frunk with a jump starter Most likely wouldn't happen unless you were in a garage where they had more time to do something like this. Best bet is to carry a backpack and take anything of value with...

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    i was the lucky winner tonight... Busted in Oakland on Grand Ave. across the street from the new Athletic Club bar. And all those people suggesting window tint or security glass, it doesn't matter. My windows were tinted 20%. They are busting them to flip down the backseat and see if there is...

    Seat Protectors Under Booster Seats

    Haha yep. I was just told 4-6 weeks lol. Interestingly enough, they said they could send me the rigid 3" in beige or grey and I can use it, and when the 3" rigid black comes in, I can exchange the grey/beige one for the black one free of charge. Apparently, they have a 365-day free hassle...

    Seat Protectors Under Booster Seats

    We have a similar problem. The car seat and protector keep sliding back over the seat buckle, and I guess the kid has been buckling into the middle seat. Those seat belt extenders look like the solution. Let me know how the rigid 3" works. I was thinking of getting the 7" regular extender but it...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    Just came back from the tire shop after installing new MRR GF 07 19x8.5 +30mm wheels square set up with Michelin Pilot S4S 245/40/19. Ran into an issue with the TPMS sensor/valve stem. Not sure if anyone else came across this when installing new wheels. I re-used the OEM TPMS sensors and valves...

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    Yeah that's what I'm thinking of doing. The car seat is on the passenger's side in the rear, so I could put down the rear seat behind the driver's side and hope that deters them from being curious

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    that place is pretty busy and lit up at night. Surprised. I'm in the bay area as well and worry about this. wonder what can be done to avoid this. I've heard to proactively push down the seats if you dont have anything but we can't because we have a child seat in the back. May fold the other...

    Wider tire set up

    Has anyone installed 255/40/19 tires, square set up on a non-lowered M3 AWD? Getting 19x8.5 +30mm wheels and wanted to know if I'm going to have any rubbing issues or interference from the suspension & calipers if I try to stuff 255/40/19 Michelin Pilot S4S. I know everyone is saying 245/40/19...

    Seat Protectors Under Booster Seats

    Got the car seat protector tonight and put it in the car. For the most part it fits fine. The only downside is that the adjustable strap that goes around the headrest could be slightly longer. Because the rear seat headrests don't raise up, you have to wrap the straps around the entire headrest...

    Looking for Body Shop Recommendations in Northern California

    +1. While I don't have any experience with Brooks, a shop that did my PPF highly recommended Brooks. Said he had a tesla brought in that was fixed from damage and had someone paint it and it did not match the factory color. He recommended Brooks and after taking the car there, they brought it...

    Model 3 Comfortable for Someone 5′ 2″?

    You'll be fine. Mt GF is also 5'2" and came from a honda accord! The M3 is her daily driver and it's great that the seats adjust and the steering wheel can adjust as well. If you are concerned with rear visibility you can always drive with the rear camera on. You get a pretty good view of what's...

    That's good to know that everyone, even those with free unlimited supercharging, play by the same rules.

    Tint recommendations and chrome delete in Bay Area?

    IMO paying extra for Photosync is not worth it. Sure it has the highest TSER rating but keep in mind the tesla has cabin control so you can remotely turn on the AC before you even get to your car. I did this last month when it was 95 outside and 115 in the car. Turned on the AC to 65 about 10...

    Has anyone experienced overtime fees while at a Supercharger?

    i just got my first one this past weekend. Luckily, the first one is waived and I received email confirmation that it was. I was only 9 minutes "over" and your first 5 minutes are your grace period, so I was actually only 4 minutes over. I get the need for this and I have no problem with the...

    Widest tires in front for square set up?

    If they're running 265/40/18 than I should have no problem running 255/40/19. Section width of the 265 is .39" more than 255/40/19, although the tire height is .7" more on the 255 and tire circumference is 2.2" more on the 255. Does anyone think the circumference being 2.2" more than 265s will...

    Widest tires in front for square set up?

    Likewise, it would be my GF's daily driver, but not concerned with efficiency since he commute is only 10 min each way. But I'd be running probably 19x9 +35 wheels so I wanted to make sure I cleared the suspension

    Widest tires in front for square set up?

    I assume the 275/35/19 that you ran was with the 19x10 +35 that you switched to? And that was with stock suspension? If so, that's crazy but promising.

    Widest tires in front for square set up?

    Anyone running 255s in a square set up? Interested to see if anyone has 255s in the front and if they've experienced any rubbing. I'm looking to get some 19x8.5 wheels with either +33 or +35 offset wrapped in Pilot Sport 4S 255/40/19 or even possibly 265/40/19. I have a feeling the 265s with...

    VMR V710FF 19" Wheels

    How do you like the powder coated wheels? I was looking to get the V710s in matte black but they are out of stock until November. They offered to powder coat for a small fee but I prefer not having the wheels powder coated. Wondered if you could tell the difference and if there is any long term...

I was debating between the MRR GF07 and VMR V710 until I saw yours and it instantly sold me on the VMR. Been working with Brandon at VMR to get my right...

    just watched the video. definitely a DIY. one question, did you do PPF on the car? And if so, did you install the smoke Xpel over the clear Xpel? And if you coated the car did you coat over the XPEL smoke? Reason I ask is because my car is getting XPEL ultimate as we speak, and he is going to...

    Recommendation for wheels in CA

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    This looks good. I'm leaning towards the V710 and the MRR GF07. I want matte black and the V710FF only comes in matte graphite
