Before & after some still there where I couldn’t reach

Wow - just checked mine and sure enough, panels touching and saw some of what some of you are seeing (VN 117xxx). I was actually able to wipe most of it off with a q-tip where I could reach it (weird), seems like it is on top of the clear coat. I scheduled a service appt to have them look at...

Interesting - does it notify you when the flash drive is full?

Not to derail the topic, but I've never pulled a recording from Sentry Mode - does it keep recordings from its 'Alert' state, or does it have to go into 'Alarm'? I'm just curious how it works.

wow - she left her car there? Was she still parked there when you got back?

So last night, coming home from dinner, when I got in the car, I noticed the screen looked odd. The left hand panel was white (it was night time), but the graphics were also white, so you couldn't really see them. Some weird lines intermittent along the bottom display as well. Car was still...

Just an update - ended up taking my car back into the installer. They took the whole wrap off, and actually brought in their 3M distributor to help reinstall. It definitely looks significantly better. I still have a small gap from the edge of the film to the edge of the panel in some areas...

I had ceramic put on mine as well. Great . .lol.

They didn't cover the whole mirror, just the front facing part, and the mirror has a rounded edge, so there is a seem there. Is that how yours is? I have no idea if that is normal.

That was what I had asked for, when i picked it up, he said they wrapped the edges they could like hood and underside edges (which they did) but couldn’t wrap some without taking panels off. I thought that sounded like BS (uh, Tesla leaves you like 1/4 between panels to tuck those edges, lmao)...

$1500 - which was another reason I thought I’d be OK. Still might be - jury is out, but sounds like they want to make it right Edit: it was just a front end wrap: bumper, fenders, hood and mirrors

I agree, but if I were going to have it done, which I wanted to do - then this was really the only option in my area. They have done a number of other high end cars (much higher end foreign cars than the M3) and are attached to an import dealership that sells very high end cars, so thought I...

Spoke with the installer this morning (or the sales/front desk, not the actual installer) - he was super cool and apologetic, not defensive at all, which was a relief. Asked for a few pictures of my concerns, which I sent - and he was going to reach out to their 3M rep, who is also an installer...

Yours looks great - would you mind sending a couple close up pics of what the edges are supposed to look like on a model 3? Google has not been as helpful as I thought, or maybe my google skills just suck. I’d love to have something for reference when I go back up there Monday.

They are listed as a ‘silver’ level installer on 3M’s website, but the only one within 30 miles of where I work. Sucks if they can’t do better, but I think I’d rather them just remove it than leave on as is.

It’s crazy - they are a certified installer from 3M and had a bunch of 5* google reviews, though mostly from their ceramic, paint correction and detail services. Im calling Monday to see what they can do.

That’s what I was thinking, good to hear confirmation. Sucks they put ceramic on top of it, meaning if they have to re-do this, they’d have to redo the ceramic in those parts to.

Ok thanks - this was my thinking to- I’m giving them a call Monday. They had the car for 5 days, he said it took so long because they actually installed twice because he wasn’t happy with it after the first install. I guess now I’ll have to see how much they stand behind it. Fun.

2nd pic, sorry hit post too quick

Picture of an edge, and the gap on lower corner of bumper

I had PPF and ceramic done for my M3 last week, picked it up yesterday. Ceramic looks amazing, but had question for those who have experience with it. This is the first time I’ve had it done to a vehicle, and just want to make sure my expectations aren’t too high. I assumed invisible meant...

Where are you seeing 120,000 on the website? You mean your vehicle details page? I see 100,000 here: Vehicle Warranty

Would something like the wind noise reduction kit that aftermarket sites are selling help, by filling in this gap? Model 3 Wind Noise Reduction Kit Only $24 with 20% Off

That sucks - is it covered under insurance?

go 1 page back to 'Vehicle Page' and scroll down until you see 'Shop.' There will be three options, one being 'Autopilot Ugrades'. Click and you should see a check box to add FSD.

Had my service appointment yesterday - SC here in Charlotte has been really good IMO. He fixed a couple minor issues, passenger side view mirror triangle being one of them. Explained the contact for that piece is in the center, which is why that top corner can sometimes have a gap. They...

Had ludicrous mode, thought my 3 was quick . . . wow

So is EAP now FSD??

I personally love my model 3, as I am sure the large majority of us here do - so i can understand where the OP is coming from. I had never really been a car guy previously, this was the most I’ve spent on a car by a pretty significant margin - mainly because I didn’t care that much about the...

I am pretty sure OP also said he wouldn’t be eligible for entire tax credit (maybe getting him confused with another thread) as his tax liability isn’t that much. He definitely took a substantial hit. I personally would have tried changing the wheels out but to each their own.

+$1200 to replace 4 blown out tires

I have a service appointment for 3 minor issues scheduled in a week, this was one of them. No symptoms for me, other than it looks like it is starting to come offer the edge. I’ll report back after the visit and let you know what they did/say.

Huh - I have a service appt in a couple weeks for 2-3 minor things, are they installing them on non P AWD's?

Cold here again this morning to. This time I remembered to preheat the car right when I woke up, so it had a good 30-40 minutes. No issues with the window sticking like yesterday.

Yes - my response was directed to super20g's comment in regards varying service levels from SC to SC. The one where he asked you to be his valentine.

The one time I've had to use the SC - I ran over a screw 3 weeks after having the car. My biggest nightmare and reservation about the Model 3 was no spare and fear of being stranded, came true less than a month into the car. Called roadside, they were amazing - put me at ease. The Charlotte...

Did you just call and ask if it was covered under warranty? I don't think my service center is as 'friendly' - so just curious how you went about it.

That’s the one I see pop up in google search, that and a dry Teflon product. Any issue/impact on window tint?

What dry lube product are you guys using? I have crystalline tint, is it safe to use? How are you applying it? Was 13* in charlotte this morning and encountered the window not going down issue. I normally condition the car 20 minutes before leaving, but forgot this morning (of course the...

I ordered these, they are ok - they don’t look cheap, I’m ok with the ‘polished’ finish and no cheap rubber smell. My biggest issue is even though they are advertised as ‘model 3’ pedals, the brake pedal is too big. I think they are model s/x pedals he is advertising as model 3. I contacted...
