This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Model S Plaid sport seats. Please add to the discussion here.

Motor Trend, when they reviewed the Model S Plaid, asked "where's the plaid." The comment was made in jest, but I thought why not some plaid in the interior? So among the mods I made was to put plaid ribbon in the interior. Other mods I made included Lloyd's carpet mats, but with a plaid logo...

Installed on my Model S Plaid EVOffers Electric Frunk kit. Assisted by my best Tesla friend, SUPURKAR (Bill Polera), who is an installation expert. I think this may have been the first installation on a Model S Plaid, but not sure of that. Had to do some adjustments of the latch mechanism to...

In attempts to make my Model 3 distinctive, I’ve acquired a number of steering wheels and yokes since I bought the car in 2018. As I’ve now settled on a yoke as my steering device of choice, why not make available the other steering devices to other Model 3 owners who may want to customize their...

As there are many mysteries/questions about the refreshed Model S that Tesla hasn’t answered or clarified, I thought it would be helpful to list a set of questions for those lucky enough to get the first deliveries of the refreshed Model S, long range, plaid, or plaid plus. I’ll start with mine...

When the announcement of the refresh took place, I think Elon stated that there would be “special” tires on the new Model S to accommodate the plaid+ speed and acceleration. The web site indicates that the 21” wheels/tires will be staggered but beyond that provides no other specs. Does anyone...

The 22 speaker sound system with active noise cancellation appears to be a great feature that will make a relatively quiet car even more quiet. I assume that the system is designed and perhaps made by Bose, as they’ve been working for 20+ years on noise cancelling systems for cars. In an...

For those Tesla owners considering products from TeslaOffer I thought it might be helpful to describe my recent experiences with the company, its customer service, and its products. I’ve bought and installed the following TeslaOffer products for my Model 3: Electric frunk Electric Tailgate...

This is a hand-made version of the original curbside charger I built for my Model S. As it’s based on the use of Hubbell pin and sleeve devices, once the Hubbell sleeve is mounted curbside and wired with 240v and 30-50 amps, it’s plug and play. Basically, a Tesla universal mobile connector is...

As the long-ago developer of the front and rear lighted Ts for the Model S, I was pleased to see versions of the rear T produced for the Model 3. But I was always looking for a way to light the entire T (front and sides) and have the whole T show as chrome when it was unlit. I also wanted to...

I've had an incredibly annoying rattle for about 6 months. It drove me crazy. I tried everything to identify it and found only last week that it was the rear latching mechanism. I picked up a new one today and bench tested it for rattles, It produced several, so I took it apart to identify the...

After about a 6 month wait, I finally received Unplugged Performance’s high efficiency trunk spoiler, which in the Model 3 trunk spoiler world is quite distinctive for its design, which IMHO is more sweeping and graceful. I know some Model 3 owners don’t like the design, but everyone’s taste is...

Forgive if this has been posted before, but this morning I visited the TeslaOffer web site to order an automatic electric frunk opener for my Model S and discovered that they're now making auto present door handles for the Model 3. They work like those on the Model S, except that the handle...

Recently obtained a ZTE Velocity 2 mobile hotspot. My Model 3 refuses to connect. I've tried everything, including reboots of the car and the device, but it won't connect. In fact the car also produces this error: "Unable to obtain IP address. Please check DHCP server settings. Every other...

Matt's driver centric screen mount was delivered a few days ago and I just had it installed. It's not very difficult and the results are fantastic. I was so excited I took the photos posted below at the installer's house immediately after it was done. The mount is basically two very well made...

Having developed the camera switch for the Model S (which enables seeing on the touchscreen obstacles that could cause damage to the front of the car when parking head in), I was interested in doing the same for the Model 3, especially as I had installed an expensive carbon fiber front spoiler...

I had the TeslaOffer Electric Frunk installed today, and it's impressive in operation. It makes opening and closing the frunk automatic and easy, with no risk of damage when the frunk is closed (look ma, no hands). I paid $500 for the device but I know there's a group buy active with another...

I have OEM arachnid wheels on my Model S, but Tesla doesn't make them for the Model 3. I love the look, so I searched high and low for something similar. T Sportline to the rescue. They make what they call TSS Flow Forged wheels in a number of 20" packages and colors: square and staggered...

Yesterday I installed the Basenor Door Seal kit and Quiet Seal kit for the roof glass seams. Took about two hours with a somewhat disabled left arm (shoulder replacement surgery about a month ago). Links to both kits are below. These make a substantial and very noticeable difference in...

I've been preparing a list of the modifications/aftermarket products I've added to my Model 3 dual motor performance. Where possible and appropriateI've added photos and links to where I acquired the mod. I encourage other owners to do the same, as I think this might benefit folks who are...

Today, with the assistance of Jurgen Balitzky, I installed a modified version of Jurgen's Gen IV Model S lighted rear applique (which I modified myself) which also wires to Jurgen's front and rear lighted Ts. The effect is amazing. For example, there's a charge mode that lights the applique...

Charged to 90 percent today. A 90 percent charge has consistently yielded 278 miles since the car was delivered in December. Today it increased to 285. On software 2019.20.2.1, which was downloaded about two weeks ago. What gives?

I've had the problem many others have experienced -- no sound. Nothing for turn signals, autopilot, no alerts, no music -- nada. Software version is 2019.16.2. Problem first appeared on May 25. Took it to my service center on Memorial Day. They re-downloaded the software (same version)and...

I’ve noticed many posts about mods — tires, wheels, weight, aerodynamics, and other mods — that express major concerns for their possible impact on range. I, frankly don’t care, but I’m very curious about how others may consider range when they’re thinking about major modifications. So I...

I've now had my Model 3 for nearly 6 months and there's no sign that the Tesla spoiler I paid for with the car order will ever appear. Fed up with Tesla's poor performance re the spoiler, I ordered this IKON Style carbon fiber spoiler on eBay and installed it yesterday. It's a very well made...

As I've posted several times before I've been trying to install a modified Model S lighted rear applique on my Model 3, as it's my favorite mod on my Model S. After months of trying I finally succeeded today. It has the same functionality of the Model S version as well as all of the special...

For those Tesla Model S owners considering purchasing BearBu's 360 degree overhead view and HDMI interface I created this video to show the former in operation. In should note that the default view of the car is white but I purchased a skin from BearBu that shows mine as red (which it is)...

The tech who fixed my driver's side door handle (which wouldn't extend) today also downloaded the latest software for my Model S. When I drove the car I was very surprised and pleased that I was able to slide the rear view camera image from bottom to top our anywhere else I wanted to place it...

As the first developer (five years ago) of the lighted real applique for the Model S, I wanted to do the same for the my Model 3 as kind of proof of concept. Of all the accessories for the S I added, that's the one I miss the most. Unlike the S version, I wanted to keep this first version...

I ordered the HDMI interface and 360 degree monitoring system from BearBu a few weeks ago and received it last week. Here are a few photos of the boxes and contents thereof. This is an incredibly impressive and professional package, especially for the modest $850 cost of the entire package...

It's been more than 5 weeks since took delivery of my dual motor performance Model 3, so every day I eagerly check my mail box for all of the things in the title of this thread, especially the $5,300 refund check from Tesla. But nada. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

I suggest everyone with a Model 3 view this thread on the Model S pages. A very talented guy in Hong Kong (BearBu is his screen name) has developed an HDMI interface that connects to the touch screen. It makes possible viewing video on the touchscreen and can also mirror an iPhone or Android...

I may be a moron, but I’ve seen many posts about charging to 90 percent (or other percentages) but I haven’t been able to find anything on the touchscreen that enables me to set a percentage charge. The sliding charge limiter doesn’t indicate percentages. Am I missing something?

Drove from Baltimore to mid-town Manhattan today, with Nav on Autopilot turned on most of the time. It’s pretty much a straight shot north on I-95 but a few places are a bit tricky: in Delaware where one diverts from I-95 to take the NJ Turnpike and the turnpike approach to the Holland tunnel...

With my new Model 3 i’m also new to EAP, so this may be lack of experience, but when I first engage EAP it immediately drifts to the right, which is disconcerting to say the least. When that happens I tend to correct for the drift, which most of the time shuts EAP down. When I’m in a lane I...

Took my car straight from delivery to Automotive Concepts in Timonium, MD where Doug Pasini did his magic installing Katzkin leather seats, a Thinkware dash cam, new Makassar ebony wood grain (I love the wood idea and just wanted to take it a bit further to add more color and a stronger pattern)...

My P3D delivery is scheduled for Monday, 11/12, but as I live only 8 miles from Owings Mills, MD service center I drove there this morning to see if my car was there and, if so, to inspect the exterior thoroughly. Thought that would save some time and hassle on Monday. Much to my joy, it was...

Tesla didn't ask me but automatically provided a credit for the reduction in price my 3DP+. I pick up the car on November 12, so in my book they're ahead of the curve. Whether I will still have free supercharging remains to be seen, so I'll call my delivery manager at the SC today to determine...

I ordered a P3+ that’s set for delivery on November 12. As a result of the end of 3rd qtr rush, delivery was postponed once and the VIN replaced. Now that the performance version price has been reduced and FSD is no longer an option. I could save $7,000 by cancelling delivery and reodering...

In the month that my delivery was canceled and my VIN assigned to another buyer, I've found that my delivery adviser in the Nevada delivery center was totally useless, as also was the case for the Service Support Specialist in Utah. Neither were able to provide a new VIN or even a guess at a...

Having obtained my 2nd VIN from my service center on my MP3+ order (had a VIN for my first on August 29, but that was canceled on 9/26 and the car was delivered to someone else), I called the so-called delivery "hotspot " to find out when the car might be delivered. I was on hold for almost two...

My delivery was postponed twice and then cancelled on 9/25 when Tesla sold my car to someone else. No doubt following Tesla's script, my delivery advisor is claiming that assigning me a VIN for a new car and arranging delivery is a "top priority." I'm certain this is a BS script that Tesla has...

A number of buyers have posted about cars being switched on them if delivery was delayed. It just happened to me. I’m traveling to Europe for 10 days tomorrrow, 9/26. I let my delivery adviser know that from the time I first communicated with him, about 3 weeks ago. Delivery has been...

Awoke this am to find an email from Tesla offering an opportunity to self-schedule delivery. My delivery having been delayed twice I eager clicked on the self-schedule delivery button. What did I find? No delivery appoinments were available. What? As I'm headed to Europe for 10 days...

Although a number of Model 3 owners are not pleased with the wood on the dash, I consider it an important design statement by Fritz and thus wanted to take it to another level. I think the wood used (ash) is pretty bland. But my biggest problem with the interior is that it is totally colorless...

My original delivery date was September 19. Just got a message from the delivery scheduler that they can't meet that date. They offered September 24, which I can't do. In fact, as I'll be out of the country for several weeks, the earliest I can take delivery is October 15. Based on the 9/19...

My Model 3 will be delivered on June 19. A week later my wife and I head to Europe for 10 days. So I've been pondering how I can do maintenance charges for both my Model S and new Model 3 while we're away. As I don't have a garage, my charging is done outside via a curbside charging station...

Based on a number of post and threads I've read about when people are getting their VINs and MVPAs I consider my self lucky. Just got my MVPA today and my VIN last week. This does seem a bit out of the ordinary, or am I wrong about that?

My car went in for service at Owings Mills yesterday. Probably needs a drive unit replacement, a CPU fix (driver’s information screen is flickering and not reporting any data), and charge port LED replacement. Glad I bought the extended warranty, as I think it just paid for itself. But this...
