    2024 Seat in a 2018?

    I believe the seats got upgraded for 2019, I had a friend with a 2018 and she complained about it all the time, and then sat in my 2019 and said it was MUCH better.

    Review: Unplugged Performance Moderate Springs

    Did you shear or not tighten where it attaches to the knuckle? I just did the install myself this past weekend, it was a huge PIA, because it just usually is for me, but by sunday night I had it all sorted. Hoping no control arm issues, but I could see not tightening properly that pin, or...

    Ft Bumper Looking HOT AF - Splitter review..

    Ok, so I've been wanting a lower splitter for a while now just to bring the nose down and get a bit more aggressive, and finally found something I like. I was VERY dubious, since its one of like 3 i've found out there, and I wasnt completely sold on the 3 piece situation (it comes in 3 pieces...

    Winter Tires on Model 3

    For real? It will damage the tire? Ive never ever heard this. My previous car was a G37 Sport, real wheel drive with 20x10.5 wheels on cheap summer tires.. I made out ok in the snow, nothing like AWD, but never thought I was actually damaging tires. I certainly don't want to damage them.

    Winter Tires on Model 3

    How much better are winter tires than say a P3D stock set? Will the winter set get me out of trouble wheras the stock set wouldnt? It seems already the model 3 is an amazing snow vehicle just because of how it can control all 4 wheels with awd and braking individual wheels etc.. my question...

    Slacker doesn't play on demand music after V10

    This happened to me exactly. I feel my Echo Auto is much better for Spotify, although I cant scrub through a song

    Echo Auto In Model 3

    FYI I was having similar issues connecting, but that was when the Echo Auto was powered on full time from the front USB ports. Once I moved it to the back, and re-wired under some center console plastic peices, the thing works pretty darn good. Really only gives me a problem now if I dont have...

    Tesla, remove the Easter eggs!

    I did have it trigger unintentionally once, and yeah, it was quite annoying, although to be fair, I was very amused the dozen or so other times I used it, so theres that. But it was only once by accident. I sympathize with this guy. You're seemingly held captive by the "once funny back 10...

    Steering Wheel No Longer Telescoping In/out

    My steering wheel will no longer go in or out. It will go up and down, but not in or out. Seems strange. Just got 2019.20.2.1 last night, not sure if that has something to do with it. Anyone else have issues with steering wheel adjustments? I hate driving it this way. Ive rebooted it a...

    How to route wire out of rear center console?

    Yes, check the left side of the console. You can actually route from the cig. lighter, all the way to under the display along the left center console with completely hidden cables. There is an indentation on the left, and then you can shove the cable inside the plastic seam where they meet.

    Spoiler edge raising fix

    Shiieeet. I dont want to do this. I JUST took delivery of my spoiler about an hour ago by the mobile service guy. Super nice, but didnt really go over the spoiler with me. It looked great from afar, but as soon as he left I took a closer look. boom. Raised edges. Not happy. So its not the...

    Emergency Brake While Driving

    YES! It was like the ABS was kicking in and applying the rear brakes as long as the button was pressed. I didnt know if it would damage anything, or wear the brakes prematurely so I only did it for like a second or 2.

    Emergency Brake While Driving

    I wanted to squirt some wiper fluid the other day, and accidentally clicked the PARK button on the right stalk instead of the left wiper/turn stalk. When I pressed the button the car started to engage the rear brakes, as if I was manually pulling up the ebake. I could hear it pulsating the...

    Vendor New from EV Tuning! Molded Rubber Floor Liners

    Branding is for the business/you, not the consumer. Why do people insist on putting huge logos over things? Do you feel it's a design element? My car is not a billboard or for advertisement. Less you, more me. Especially at this price.

    Why SSD so hot?

    I was submitting my similar experience relating exactly to the OP's issue. USB storage flash RAM getting super hot. SSD vs thumbdrive are the same, just form factor.

    Vendor 3D Mats For Model 3- Exclusive Savings for Members

    Ordered the 29th of April. Received today. Excellent mats, can’t speak to durability, but they are good and look amazing. I would deal with 3 ugly logos per mat if I had to. It’s reallg the only knock for me.

    Take all four wheels off

    Ok, theres an option... get 2 of these, gets me most of the way. https://www.amazon.com/ESCO-10498-Jack-Stands-Capacity/dp/B01J5ZB8K6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 So, its safe to jack one side in the rear, place the same side ft jack stand, lower the rear floor jack, and do the other side?

    Take all four wheels off

    That stand is interesting, but I would need 4 ideally to take all 4 wheels off, I could use 3 and the floor jack, BUT @$125 a pop thats pricey. It would be cheaper to buy 4 jacks at HF for like $80-100 ea. They get decent rep. Then I could just use my jack stands or a wheel or something...

    Take all four wheels off

    How do I go about taking all 4 wheels off the car? I have 4 jack pads already, but now stumped how to move forward with only 1 floor jack. Do I need to go buy 3 more floor jacks? We only have 4 jack points on the Model 3, if I jack up one side, how do I put a jack stand in there if the floor...

    Are all high end window tint films about the same?

    How much were you quoted? I did mine yesterday and Ceramic 20% all around cost me $570, back is one piece. Almost did the front windshield but they wanted the car over night.

    Is there a setting for: headlights on a whenever you drive?

    I too am in this camp and like to drive with 100% lights on, (weak) daytime running lights or not. I want 100% maximum visibility. It's clearly safer.

    Review: Unplugged Performance Moderate Springs

    Hey Bean, do you have the Performance model? - looks like you do from the wheels/calipers. I'm also looking to get my P3D a better stance (taking delivery 3/29) But looking at UP site, the Moderate version states "This option is for dual motor cars with non-Performance Upgrade Package...
