    Dented Front-Right Fender -- To Claim or Not to Claim

    Get on the local auto grapevine and find the best paintless dent removal business. They'll be able to say if they can fix it or not. If they can it'll be way less than what you have been quoted. What do you have to loose?

    Can anyone help me with these 2 problems please ?

    Unless the previous owner paid for the upgrade and didn't get it done before he sold the car, you're not likely to get it for free. As of this late date, it is most likely that SC management is quite aware that the upgrade is not going to be free.

    One brightspot in touch screen

    You could use a stylus or similar object and rub the area of the pixel. Being careful not to apply to much pressure, this method could "unstick" the pixel.

    Charge port door not opening/closing

    The prices on Ebay for a used one is a nogo. If the current new price is $120, I'd buy it all day at the SC. Here is a video from a Russian guy replacing the tail light asm and charge door asm. Easy peezy. Go to 4:05 for the door replacement. Also, this is timely for me, my door is...

    16v Lithium battery Weber State Video

    Just released is a detailed, but not overly technical, video about the 16v aux lithium battery for those who have it in newer Teslas. The video has timestamps for easy access to pertinent information. Of most interest might be: 1:50 The jump-start terminals of the Model 3 2:18 Owner's manual...

    2021 M3 Aero wheel covers, "peeling" off

    Look at the retention clips on the aero covers see if they are uniform in how they are spread to grab the wheel. Also, potholes are not your friends, but the 18" wheels are better at handling than the larger wheel sets.

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    There are rubber bump stops under the deck lid you can hand tighten or loosen to lower or raise the deck lid. That might get you what you want. Otherwise, it looks fine to me.

    2021 Model 3 Tire Fell Off - Get your bolts checked ASAP

    You can see the bolts without removing the front aero shield. You'll need a flashlight to illuminate the area. Look from behind the front wheel forward, you should see the rear bolt. Looking from the front of the wheel back you should see the front bolt.

    Loud thud after M3 locks

    Contactor opening, not an issue, the car will at times make noise like that and more. I suggest the next time you get a update, sit in the car the entire time it is updating. Lots of things going on, lights flashing, contactor opening, etc., normal.

    Minor parking garage bump fixes

    I don't know what Tesla charges for the sensor, but Ebay has them for $45 used. If you're not getting any errors then it should be working ok.

    Minor parking garage bump fixes

    The white paint should mostly come off with some paint solvent, if the retaining clips aren't broken just push the bumper back onto the clips. After removing the paint, depending on how deep the scratches are, you might be able to buff it out with some polish.

    Tire rotation

    I would add the next odometer reading for rotation so that when the date rolls around and you have not reached the odometer reading just move the date forward a little until things match.

    Heat pump noise

    A question, I assume Tesla gets the compressor from a outside vendor, if there is a defect that causes failure of the compressor, does Tesla eat the recall or does the outside company pay for the recall or some portion?
