@chojn1 Is there an update?

@chojn1 , any update on this project? Thanks

@chojn1 Just a check to see if there is any new news

@viktorleon , Have you had any success with the files for the rest of the Tesla T's, (front, back, wheels, steering wheel, or turn signal bulges)? Thank you

Any update? Looking forward.

Any news ?

Looks great. Have you determined that a slit to allow slight compression is not needed?

Since this looks like it may be on hold for the foreseeable future, would you consider sharing the 3D models of the brackets and shroud? I have access to a 3D printer with carbon fiber capabilities and would love to give this a try. Additionally, I can see the mount for the light in the...

@chojn1 , any update?

Just checking on status?

Sounds good, thanks for the update @chojn1.

I hesitate going over to the existing thread you mentioned. As far as I can tell, 38 page forum, and the majority of the conversation has to do with when one vinyl kit or another will be available on Amazon. :). OK, that is a major exaggeration, @Kenriko and @AMIYY4YOU have been doing a lot...

That sounds like a good plan. The basic designs for window and door switches as well as console patterns are in a github location, but I know there have been some improvements made. I am tied up for a couple of days, but by the end of the weekend I will put together what I have and find a spot...

I found a Tesla T PDF online, downloaded Inkscape for free, the learning curve for the Cricut was relatively easy. I just tinkered with different sizes, cutting the parts out of cardstock while I figured out what size would work with which location. I ended up doing a little hand cutting on...

I did end up buying a used Cricut just to play with the vinyl. I did the switches and area around the switches in a textured black called cocoon, did the door switch in brushed red. Also did the center "T" on my wheels, the "T" on the side camera mounts, and the front and back Tesla T on the...

Just dropped my month old model 3 car off at the dealership, to have my turn signal system looked at him another little things. When I asked them, they said there has been a large number of turn signal unit repairs required for this item, just in the Salt Lake City area. More than 200. They said...

@AMIYY4YOU, I was hoping on finding files for the various Tesla T symbol designs for the Tesla Model 3, specifically, for the wheels, the steering wheel, the camera side and the front and back T symbols. The github files only have the interior console and switch covers. Is there somewhere else...

Hi @chojn1, I was talking to one of our machinists, showed him the pic of the bracket, he agreed a gap would help clamping force, he also recommended having a radius where the nose piece meets the base, to minimize stress risers. He made a bracket out of titanium for his racing bike, forgot to...

@chojn1, I had a thought about your aluminum brackets. The current mounting method has a 2 sided tang which actually has some flexibility. So, when a bolt is inserted, it actually compresses the tangs against the bracket protrusions of the monitor. With your squared off aluminum brackets...

I bought it at a local Salt Lake City vinyl shop, Vinyl Outlet. $3.00 for a 12”x24” sheet. I left the material at work, I will check tomorrow to see if there a brand name on the back of the vinyl. The thing I like about the deep red color is that it is a subdued but noticeable color, unlike...

Great. Thanks for letting me know. Is there a spot on github that has these updated files? Also, do you know if the Tesla T shape from the wheels is available on gethub? I found that the standard Tesla T us not quite the same proportions as the one on the wheel.

Decided I needed to give a little color change for just the door switches. Found a deep red brushed look, thought I would give it a try. Looks nice against the cocoon black.

Finally found what the circle with the Tesla E goes to. I went back to the first post in this thread and read the whole thread. It was just room left over, so he threw in a circle with the E just for fun.

I added extra length to the window switch wraps so they curl over the front of the switches for better adhesion, less chance to peel up. Trying to decide if I should put a different color label on the door latches. (White? Red?). People keep fumbling around trying to find how to open the door.

Ok, cut with cricut, installed on a nice chilly evening (fall in Utah). Turned out fairly good. Has anyone else had a problem with the edge of the vinyl on the window switch covers catching on a fingertip when you pull on the switch? Is there a reason that the switch covers don’t wrap...

I know the feeling. We have a complete CNC machine shop here at my work, and it is either feast or famine. Work for the CNC comes in waves, you never know if it will be a day or 2 weeks to get the parts you want. Things are fairly slow right now for them, let me know if you want me to have...

Got my Cricut up and running, cut out a set of door wraps out of scrap vinyl, just to see if it would work. Now I can cut it out of my cocoon black, and see how it works. Still puzzling on what the circle with the Tesla E is for. I found a copy of the tesla T, I think I might just scale the...

Looks nice. Are you threading the aluminum, or just having the bolt pass through, then use a nut and lock washer on the opposite side? Were you going to counterbore the hole for a bolt head, or just leave flat and use flat bottomed bolt? I don't know how much room there is around where the...

@chojn1, Any new news in aluminum CNC parts?

I bought a set of center console vinyl covers in the matrix pattern, and installed them, quite liked the look. Today I purchased a used cricut maker for vinyl cutting, and went down to a couple of vinyl dealers, found some fun material, a black pattern called cocoon and four different colors of...

@chojn1 , thanks for the info. I thought it might have been Amazon. I have hit a few of the fabric stores in my area, haven’t found a grey leather with a color I like as much as the one I saw you use. I will keep checking around. Thanks for the adhesive info as well.

Hi @chojn1 In a Conversation, I have asked you about material suppliers. Any chance You could help me track down these supplies? I was hoping to work on my interior in the near future. I know you are busy, and there are only so many hours in the day, but if you could help me, I would really...

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I am looking for a computer model of that adapter. I can create one in solidworks, but was just asking if anyone had seen one already created.

This is one of those questions that doesn't really fall in a standard category. Charging? Has anyone seen a model of the J1772/Tesla adapter? Am going to make one in Solidworks, thought I would see if anyone had already done it before I wasted time

Ok, I feel foolish. I hadn’t realized you were 3-D printing your parts. I thought you were machining them in a machine shop out of carbon fiber/nylon stock. This makes a great deal more sense.

I won't speak for everyone, but I would have to say the group here are definitely the early adopters of the early adopters. (Bought a Tesla in the first place, then are willing to actively discuss in a forum environment ways to break open their new toy and tinker with it) I would bet that the...

That is what I expected. Very nice work. How are you on the number of people who want orders? Have you determined if you are going to make it a sale item?

Forum has been dead for a few weeks, but hopefully people are still watching. A quick question I purchased a set of red vinyl T emblems for my Black model 3 front and back insignias. LOVE how they look. Now I want to tinker with some more insignia work. Anyone know what color the standard...

I think the console light kit is a great idea. When you start making them, put me down for a set. Thank you. By the way, I think the big Tesla T is a bit much, but a smaller T in the corner could be cool

Sounds perfect. How many more orders do you think you will need before you will make parts for sale? With the complexity of part setup, I assume you will pick one style, probably 10 degrees? and offer just that one. I assume you will also be offering the shroud. If you end up not having...

Per several different suggestions in different forums, I am going to try 1. Install a 12V power socket next to the USB ports, powered from a 12V spot under the dash and plug the phone charger lines in to a 2 port adapter plugged into the socket...

Sorry, should have checked further. There are several forums over in the Model S side of the forum world dealing with using SSD units in the Model S. If it works there, it should work in the 3, I hope

Like all good nerds, I have my box of computer stuff, including a pair of 240GB intel SSD drives, and a 256 GB OCZ SSD drive. A USB 3.0 to SATA adapter is about $10 on Amazon, (yes, I know, the USB plugs in the T3 are USB 2.0, but the adapter should work the same) but my concern is if the USB...

I am curious about one thing. The shroud is a one piece "circle" without a break, isn't it? So, in order to take it off and replace it with your larger shroud for the system with extension brackets, I assume you would have to completely remove the display, unplugging any connecting wires in...

Count me in. I would like to get the brackets and a shroud if they become available

That is terrific. So you are saying that you have 2 thumb drives with music loaded on them, and the Tesla can access both thumb drives and play songs off both of them?

Because if that is possible, it may also be possible to put one drive with music, and one drive configured to be a dashcam drive both attached to one port, leaving the other port for phone charging and other fun needs.

So, is it possible to put two USB drives connected to a hub connected to one port and have the car see both thumb drives? I would try it myself, but my car is in having clearbra put on.

So, there are 2 usb ports in the front, (data and power) and 2 USB ports in the back. (Power only. ) Has anyone tried putting any kind of hub onto the front USB ports in the front to see if the system can recognize multiple thumb drives off of one "port"?

I know in the "interior and exterior" area of the forum there was a lot of talk about the possibility of adding a hub, but as far as I can tell, the majority of the users were looking at hub management for phone charging purposes. This seemed more of a connectivity issue. Now that there is...
