    Best Conditioner for Vegan Leather

    What is the best conditioner for the vegan leather seats and also the dash and door panels? I use ONR for cleaning but want something to condition and keep them a dark, deep black. Any recommendations with links would be awesome. I tried to search but couldn’t find much for this. Thanks!

    IOS 13 not working with Tesla App [Update: check Settings > Privacy > Bluetooth]

    Are the doors supposed to unlock if the app is NOT running in the background? I have never had that happen. Only time the doors will unlock is if the app is running in the background. If I totally close the app it does not work. Id love to know what is supposed to happen Model 3 LR RWD iPhone...

    Has anyone used Reload or Meadmaker on a Feynlabs ceramic coating? Feynlabs has their own as well and I am curious what works the best

    Console Lid Warning

    Could this be for the Tesla Network? You could tell when someone is in the console and maybe they aren’t supposed to be?

    Optimum No Rise and Wax - Trying to avoid swirl marks

    So I have a clear bra on the front the. A Feynlabs ceramic coating on the whole car. The guy that did the clear bra and the ceramic told me to use 70% isopropyl alcohol to remove bugs and other stuff from the car as needed. I’ve used that on the front of the car - is that bad? Is that going to...

    Do Noise Reduction Kits Work?

    Hey everyone - I was looking at a Model 3 Noise reduction kit online and was wondering if anyone has experience with this one or any other and if it helps or not? I don't want to stick a bunch of stuff to my car if it isn't going to work. Let me know! Here is a link to the one I am looking at...

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    I just talked to Tesla service and she said that they have a new procedure/process for this and it's less than a month since they have been doing it. They will do the evaporator cleaning for $110. They will check the filter and if it needs to be replaced that is an additional ~$80. They also...

    Model 3 Weird Smell

    I am glad to see a post about this cause I have the same problem! I’m in Dallas, TX and it’s been a ton of rain. I also like to keep the car at 68 if that makes a difference. I have noticed that if I turn on the AC from the app and it’s on for 5-10 min before I get in the car - that’s when...

    aero covers scratching inner edge of wheel

    Can someone post some pics of their wheels that have had aero covers on for awhile, post the mileage with the pic? I have a road trip coming up and have never had them on. I took them off at delivery. I prefer them off and do not want damage on the actual rim. Thanks!

    Locking doors while still inside

    I actually had this come up yesterday and my girl friend and I tested this. Note that both my phone and her phone are set up as keys for the Model 3. I was the one driving the car if it matters. She left her phone in the car and we both walked away. She said she did not hear the beep/honk when...

    Is the 7 days to get your vin automated?

    Mine showed up the day before delivery but my delivery date was also moved up 6 days so maybe that’s why?

    Should I get a new VIN - Please help.

    Reject the car and get a new VIN. They might have one that matches yours close already and they are going to try and get you in a car by next week before end of quarter. I went through this yesterday. If you want details or advice private message me and I'd be happy to help. A really high up...

    Tesla Body Shop repair - outstanding!

    @kendallas I was told the Dallas Tesla body shop is not open yet? They said they’re set up and almost ready to go but not quite open yet. You sure it was Tesla that did the work? If so that’s great to hear!

    Reject or Not Reject? Need Immediate Advice!

    Update for everyone and I appreciate the thoughts and replies to the poll. There were a few more things than what I said in the first post. The body shop I went to today (Tesla recommended/approved) said they’d have to repaint basically the whole front part of the car especially due to the pearl...

    Reject or Not Reject? Need Immediate Advice!

    I have the RWD Aero Wheels EAP Pearl White. I have already sold my previous car so that is definitely an issue. Others received Tesla loaners while waiting on a replacement car....I know they have paint issues but I didn't realize the time and lengths that would have to be taken to fix little...

    Reject or Not Reject? Need Immediate Advice!

    I took the delivery of my Model 3 Wednesday and when I picked up the car there were a couple of imperfections in the paint. There was a small chip on the hood (see pic below) and a black dot on the fender that is under the clear coat. There are also some small dust particles in the paint on the...

    Outside delivery ?

    I took delivery Wednesday and it was outside and really short. According to others on this forum outside is better for paint inspection. Mine was about 5 minutes then I went home and did my checklist and close inspection - found a few things and went back Friday to let them know. They said no...

    Is this only needed in California? I’m in Dallas and took delivery of my Model 3 Wednesday. Went back Friday for a couple questions and they were packed! I’d love to do this to help out Tesla and Musk. When I took delivery it was outside and was about 5 minutes long. I knew far more than the...

    Ever Hit Anything On Auto-Park? Summon?

    I am patiently waiting for my car to arrive but was curious if everyone has hit anything while on auto park or using Summon? On my two Model 3 test drives it worked great but got super close to hitting the cars next to us so just curious if this has happened to anyone?! I’ve searched the forums...

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    That is true. Props for you to doing it your self - I could not do that! Screen protector on my phone is too much for me

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    Ya that'd be awesome. Tesla is already gaining data from every mile that every Tesla drives - that is why there is free LTE. They are financially gaining more over the long term by obtaining data than they are spending on LTE! So off topic...sorry.

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    With normal cars that could easily happen - Tesla not so much right? I know you can track location, should have a way to auto turn off the car and the car would do so safely and slowly. Tesla is the most recovered stolen car according to some. Sorry for off topic...

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla says that it will be more expensive but not if you upgrade before a certain date - improving cask situation before the end of the year.

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    That is a great deal! Just saw on my quote that the films have a 10 year warranty but the shop gives a lifetime warranty!

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    I didn't pay for the FSD for the same reason, I am happy to pay a little extra when it comes out. Some of the rumored version 9 features have me really excited about version 9! The ability to detect a slow moving car, auto change lanes, speed up and pass the car, and change back is awesome. I...

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    Thanks for the feedback/thoughts. Does the warranty cover damage from rocks and stuff like that or just peeling and manufacturer defects/issues? I'm leaning towards full front PPF and then DIY ceramic...Any risks to doing this? What if you mess up ceramic - how hard is it to remove and have a...

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    Did it show bad or just when inspected closely? I guess the color under the Model 3 paint is black as well? or silver?

    Yall are really making me want to do it...I probably should just spend the money and do it!

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    Wow that is a lot...if its truly that many than its a no brainer for me. I think with my truck I sat so high on the road with a massive grill/radiator that it wasn't as bad. A pic would be great!

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    I think your assessment is a good one - I don't think I could handle the front being destroyed by rocks and I was just trying to gauge if it really will destroyed by rocks.

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    What did you use to do Ceramic yourself? Did you do paint correction before hand?
  41. T

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    See my post above on what I was quote for - need to make sure they include mirrors! DIY ceramic makes me nervous cause I don't know how to do the required paint correction before hand. Why do you say old school sealants and waxes might be better? Thanks!

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    I got a quote to do XPEL ultimate or Suntek ULTRA for full front, full hood, full fenders, full front bumper, a pillars, head lights, fog lights, door edge guards, and center console for $1,250 - seems like a steal to me but is still $1,250. Did you do ceramic coating as well?
  43. T

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    Thanks for the reply! I agree that it is a vehicle that's going to never look as good the day you bought it most likely. Also true about the big enough pebble/rocks - that worries me as well cause if there is a dent or something in an area that you have to have fixed or the panel replaced -...

    Hey Mike thanks for the reply! Did you notice those things on your Acura when you had it or just when detailer pointed them out to you? I totally agree that this car is expensive, twice as expensive for me as well. What areas are you going to PPF? The benefit of easy cleaning is also a big one...

    Decided Against PPF? Regrets? Pictures?

    Hey Everyone! This is my first post but I have read this forum extensively and am waiting on my Model 3 (details below). There has been a lot of talk about PPF and the cost/benefits but something I think is missing. Has anyone not gotten any PPF and regretted it? Do you have pictures of the...
