    Rear window tint vs sunshades

    I recently moved to FL and am in the process of getting my windows tinted on my 2018 M3. I decided on Llumar Air80 on front windshield and Stratos 35 on the side windows. My issues is on the back window. I found a shop that does lots of M3's and they typically do the full back window or can...

    South Florida window tint cost

    Just moved to South Florida and need to get my 08 M3 tinted. I plan to do all windows including windshield (or maybe just eyebrow, not totally sure on that yet). My first two quotes in the Sarasota area are $1200!!! Is this the going price these days (I know everything has gone up but I could...

    Deep Blue Metallic Help

    Also, I periodically use Carpro Reload to maintain the ceramic coat. Really easy to do - just spray and buff/wipe.

    Deep Blue Metallic Help

    Ceramic coating is clear but adds to the reflective properties giving more gloss and depth. As someone mentioned above it's like always having a freshly waxed car - deeper richer look. It definitely enhances the look and to the eye makes it look slightly darker in some lights. After 4 years...

    Charging door closing immediately after opening

    Just doubling back on this from my experience - the tech replaced the charge port ECU and all issues went away....works perfectly and quickly for the past year. Does nothing "strange". I'd recommend anyone that has a strange acting charge port door to recommend this replacement before warranty...

    2021 Model 3 LR tire replacement advice needed

    I am in the same boat but also wonder what the pros and cons would be of moving to a summer tire such as Pilot Sports - also in FL.

    Clunk/ thump from driver front over bumps

    I diagnosed for them - the noise was driving me nuts so I started to use my hand to tap different parts on the front end to see if I can get any sound. Sure enough when I hit a certain spot to the left of head light I got a noise. Then noticed I could move the headlight ever so slightly...

    Clunk/ thump from driver front over bumps

    Fast forward since they replaced the wheel bearing - actual issue was a loose driver side headlight. Tightened and fixed, no noise over past year.

    Charging door closing immediately after opening

    Mine was doing the same thing but then also one day wouldn't release a supercharger (I mention this in another thread, stranded for hours). This Tuesday they are replacing charger ECU. What really weird is that the alerts that I received from the night of the issue showed up about 3 days...

    Charge port door requires 2 attempts to open

    I had similar issue - then ended up turning into it also not wanting to release the supercharger on a Friday night (sat with the car for hours). Nobody had a solution, the tow service they sent didn't know how to get it out either (manual pull cord didn't work either). Randomly it decided to...

    Model 3 front suspension clunking

    Also have them check the headlights. One of mine was loose, tightening up fixed it.

    Charge Port issue

    2018 LR AWD - In 2019 I had service done to the charge port door because it wouldn't open when you pushed it and intermittently wouldn't open using the charger button. The issue was fixed for a year. 2020 the door is very erratic, sometimes opens fine sometimes doesn't - sometimes it opens and...

    Rear Motor Failure

    I recently had a similar situation - thud plus a few alerts. My car was still drivable until the service visit. They replaced the rear motor (said it was throwing a fault, best thing is to replace). Funny thing is for the past few months I thought my battery was degrading as my range kept...

    Clunk/ thump from driver front over bumps

    I have the same issue (mine is 18). I asked them to look at it last year and the replaced the wheel bearing - I said ok well do both then because that odd to go at 15k. They did but still the same on the divers side. It's annoying and sounds like something loose - I've always wondered if it...

    Deep Blue Metallic Help

    I like you was unsure of the blue - looks light in some photos and don't really like the new image on the Tesla interior screen. However, mine is ceramic coated and about twice a hear I use a reload spray to maintain. It slightly darkens the color and to me looks perfect. I've received many...

    Delivery Experience

    I finally got my home delivery this week, but to my surprise. The delivery advisor had gone radio silent for some time and I finally called the main line for help. I could tell they could see something but said I had to speak with the service advisor (this was Monday). The delivery advisor...
