20 pieces of 8ft 2x4s is no problem with the middle rear seat folded down in a Model Y. We used a blanket to buffer the front from risk of hitting the touchscreen, but there was clearly 4” or more space between the 2x4s and the screen. In addition, 4 adults can still sit in the car LOL. For...

We found a door ding right on the body crease of the passenger side rear door and it’s only about 1/4” in diameter but it cut through the PPF and there’s a noticeable deformation (and of course I can’t not see it now - double negative for effect). Has anyone used a paintless dent repair service...

For Bumper replacement, definitely go with the Tesla part. It was about $1000 for us to replace, but it’s a factory painted part so you don’t have to fight with a 3rd party shop to try and match the paint. FWIW, we also had to replace a headlight assembly which also cost $1000ea. It’s like...

We have the TeslaOffer (not Hansshow) Auto Frunk Opener and accidentally left the Frunk open after unloading groceries in our garage. At some point, the Y went to sleep as expected, but we went into the garage about an hour later and tried to shut the Frunk, nothing would respond: not the App...

Yes, I’m very familiar with aligning the hook with the latch as I installed both the Trunk & Frunk openers in our Model 3 last summer. In the case of the hood misalignment on our Y, the soft close is working correctly and the front of the hood where the hook and latch are are both flush in...

No, unlike the Model 3 Frunk latch, there isn’t much lateral wiggle room and very little up & down movement for the Model Y, so it didn’t necessarily need marking. Also, because the height of the hood relative to the quarter panels was affected, it really seems to point to the struts, or more...

Also, similar to other posters, our hood is now misaligned about 1/8” toward the passenger side and 1/8” lower on the passenger side as well. It seems like when I was tightening the mounting plate that it wasn’t very flush to any of the sides and might be slightly lower than the driver side...

Just a heads-up on the Latch Motor placement (we have the TO Mk4): The wheel well fabric cover on the front driver’s side of our 6/20 MY has slits in it so it looks like water & debris (likely from my power washer o_O) shoot right into the area where they suggest putting the Latch Motor, so I...

The Hansshow website implies there’s a safety risk for activating the Foot Sensor when driving at slow speeds without it o_O:eek: (“latest version Exclusive” !! LOL)

Has anyone been able to get a CANBUS Harness for Pre-2019 Model 3s? It looks like Tesla changed the harness around early 2019, so the plug that ships with the V4 Auto Trunk Kit won’t work for 2018 and older Model 3s. Unfortunately, I’d already snaked the wiring through the floorboard trim...

After troubleshooting via FT with a Hansshow guy, we traced it to exactly the same situation as @bsk997 where the innermost of 3 pins on the latch housing got pushed in when connecting the Hansshow harness. Unfortunately, trying to pull that pin out was a Royal PITA because there’s so little...

Good suggestion, I just tried it but no movement either on the unplug or plug back in :( I also did the hard reboot of the controller, because I have time...no difference. The most frustrating part is being so close to the finish line and stumbling on these last few items!

Unfortunately it doesn’t, so I’m thinking it’s a bad actuator. Checked: - For no kinks in the cable - That the connectors were plugged in snugly to the controller box - That the harness to the actuator was connected snugly Lastly, I climbed into the backseat to watch it all, and the soft-close...

Just FYI, the EG vid shows a great tip to slide the +12V connector through the opening of the rubber enclosure so that it doesn’t compromise the top ‘lid’ of the enclosure. An added benefit is that it keeps the fuse box nice and flat next to it. The trickiest part of it all was I had to wrap...

V4 Trunk: Anybody having problems with the soft-close latch? It looks like the actuator pulls the cable to suck down the latch, but I’m not hearing it and I don’t see that nearly as clearly as with the Frunk Kit. Also, when I pull up on the trunk, it’s locked, but there’s a little play...

If pictures speak a thousand words (TLDR we’re happy with the quality! ;)) - Roof glass gaps - Hood/Trunk gaps - Window trim - Doors - Tail/Headlights - Panel intersections VIN 15xxx Yes, I think a lot of the positive experiences often get drowned out, so just trying to do my part!

We’re relieved as well, VIN 15xxx here and confirmed no holes, pics in the Model Y forum under the original thread ;)

Confirming Front & Rear = no holes VIN 15xxx

FYI here’s the forum post that provided the above photo: Vendor - Want to remove the Model Y emblems?...Think again.

Definitely a bummer! We’re still waiting for our Y to be delivered, so I can’t say firsthand about sealant under the badge (I just copied and pasted the above image from the Model Y forum to provide a visual), but I’m with you in that it just looks like double-sided tape residue on the badge...

@ALSETAuto & @JasontheBeaver It looks like both the trunk and frunk of the Model Y are coming with holes drilled through the metal. Just wanted to see if you guys had thoughts on if there’s a way to go about debadging Model Y with those holes?

Back in the summer of 2018, my wife gave me a hard time for obsessively (hourly?) checking the status of my AWD Model 3 after news that Performance versions had begun delivery and non-P would be soon to follow. Fast forward to March 2020 and my wife has a Model Y Red/Black AWD 19s on order...

Ah I should’ve clarified, it’s not that the icon/function is missing, but rather all the settings were reset (in my case I had two different garage doors setup in HomeLink).

Just thought I’d post an update: I received the FSD HW3 Retrofit yesterday when I was at the Macadam SC for a different issue. Heads-up items: - They never notified me that the Retrofit Kit was available, it just showed up as an extra line item on my invoice when I had the car scheduled for...

It looks like a 1-week leadtime for a 10K rotation at Macadam and there’s not a price listed for the service, so I just wanted to check with any local folks who’ve had Macadam or Costco/LesSchwab rotate Model 3 tires and any ballpark prices!

Just checking to see if any folks in the area have gotten HW3 Retrofits? If so, was it at Macadam or was Mobile able to perform the upgrade?

Great point about being able to easily clean the bumper behind the plate. I’d like to add another real-world situation I had the other day that validates the sturdiness of The Bandit: I recently backed into my garage where the front of the car was a little too close to the garage door and it...

This may be a bit of a stretch for ‘nature’ but could it be considered an endangered species?!? We recently were in Bend, OR and visited the last Blockbuster Video left on the planet. We parked the Model 3 in front as proof that it wasn’t a picture taken in 1999 :p

We stopped in for lunch & shopping and were pleasantly surprised to find free-to-use Volta L2 charging near the downstairs Macy’s entrance. It required the J1772 adapter and charged at ~30A from what I remember. Other than asking users to limit usage time to 2hrs per vehicle, there were no...

I really like the look and feel of these winter mats. They’re a softer, more rubbery mat than the frunk/trunk mats. That being said, the fit on the back mats are really bad. I’ve had a couple of WeatherTechs for previous cars, and the fit has been spot on. For the Model 3 however, the fit...

@Trevor B LOL it’s every time you get in the car, it’s a loud scraping sound just to rest your left foot, so it’s just gets annoying is all. It’s also accentuated when it’s quiet in the cabin and even a slight shift of the foot scrapes across the sandpaper. I don’t need extra grip to hold my...

The Dead Pedal length is correct and the right side has an overhang, so you can snug that right next to the plastic. It has double-sided tape on the back to adhere it to the plastic Tesla trim, so it adds the thickness of the tape for the depth. Not a noticeable thickness difference just...

@Knightshade the Key Cards were $5 each so I ordered 2 and the Fob was $15 so I ordered 1 for $25 + tax. In full disclosure, I haven’t received them yet because I’m still waiting for the Mobile Service, but this was what the Service Advisor ordered for me. Also, I didn’t ask for it, she...

Dead Pedal (RPM Tesla) TBH I’m not a big fan of it, so I’m looking around for a replacement 1. The metal on the right side was bent when I received it so I had to use a rubber mallet to pound it back flat :( 2. The black bars are like sandpaper, so it’s pretty loud when the sole of your shoe...

There’s a Supercharger in the northern suburbs of Vancouver, WA in Salmon Creek and it’s in a grocery store (Fred Meyer) shopping center, so you can stock up on any trip supplies while Supercharging. I think they have 12 stalls and the most Teslas I’ve seen there at one time is 4, but around...

Just ran across an Electrek article from a few days ago talking about the rollout of the Model 3 fobs: Tesla starts rolling out Model 3 key fob to lucky few owners

My kids are at the forward facing stage of car seats, but we have a Japanese policy in the car: shoes off :D It actually works well because kids are gonna kick the seats but with socks it’s a non-issue!

@Abstrakt1 just curious, but what brand & product of coating did you use? Also did you DIY or did you have your PPF shop apply it?

In a call with my local SC today, they offered Mobile Service to my home to repair my blinker issue. At that point, I asked if I could also order 2 additional Key Cards and the response was “Absolutlely, and if you’d also like to get a Key Fob we can have Mobile Service bring it out to you on...

@R1Fast I'm in the same boat where I have Xpel Ultimate and wasn’t sure if “regular” ceramic coatings would bond differently to PPF vs Paint. I ended up buying Feynlab PPF & Vinyl Ceramic Coating that is supposedly designed for that application. I’m planning on applying it next week (shooting...

:(Is the Homelink transmitter inside the Model 3 directional? I have the same problem because I back into the garage where my wall connector is. When I am approaching the garage, it automatically opens 100% of the time with 70ft setting and I think it’s because I drive toward the garage, then...

I have Xpel Ultimate and was looking to add a coating to reduce wash times and add gloss. In researching, it looks like there are some ceramic coatings that are designed for bonding with PPF instead of clearcoat on paint. I ended up ordering Feynlab PPF & Vinyl Ceramic, but I haven’t applied...

@Drax FYI, the FlyBy Forte application video from CarPro recommends coating the wiper blades

@atownev my thinking was that having the extra storage space allows me to press the 10min save basically whenever I want and I don’t have to remove the USB drive until I have enough clips to warrant removal. So if 1hr uses 2GB then I can save 40hrs worth of clips...when you say it out loud, I...

I too am a customer Tony, thanks! Since we’re talking... Any chance to source some black bolts & washers to blend in? Can you start a project to make Emergency Door Release Covers?!? :p

Just installed the RPM Tesla LEDs, so I thought I’d add some thoughts and dispel some of the speculation earlier in the thread: The part is the same size as the original, just more LEDs internal to the plastic housing. Because of that, they click in the same way the originals do. I ordered 2x...

I hand-washed my car a couple of days ago with normal hose water pressure (ie. not a pressure washer) and didn’t bother opening the frunk to check underneath the hood, but today when I opened the hood to load up stuff in the frunk, I was shocked to see how much water had gotten under the hood...

I’ve been on a half dozen drives and been trying the long-hold-gray-dot when I go to Park, and it’s been a lot more stable than when it was getting corrupted after each restart (ie. after door close & reopens). To add some details: Sandisk 128GB UltraFit USB 3.1 MacBook>DiskUtility>Partition...

@Drax any issues with the front windshield and RainX? I’m asking mostly because of how the manual warns against it. I just bought some CarPro FlyBy Forte that’s a nanocoating for glass surfaces that’s supposed to last a year or two (compared to a week or month with RainX). Because it’s a bit...
