    Odd behaviors from air intake vents when off.

    Has anyone noticed an issue with the Model 3 front air intake vents? On ours, I noticed the vents were opening and closing repeatedly every few seconds. After a few minutes it would stop, and then start again in a few more minutes. This seems to happen regardless of the proximity of the phone...

    Dual motor funk space - pre vs. post facelift?

    After looking at some pictures, it seems like the newer D cars have less frunk space than the first gen D cars. Looking at the 2014 P85D for example, the frunk looks bigger than a new 75D. But Im not sure if my eyes are just playing tricks on me due to the redesign of the plastic surrounding the...

    Large crack in pano roof

    I had the unfortunate discovery of a large crack in my pano roof yesterday. I would estimate it is about 18" long. It seemed to appear out of nowhere. I have thoroughly looked over the area, and there is no damage (chips, dents, etc) other than the crack itself. I have only had the car 2...

    Yes, a Mountain Bike fits in a Model 3!

    My full suspension mountain bike fits no problem. The front wheel can go in the well or on top of the bike. If I could have compressed the front shock, it would have fit in without taking off the front wheel. The well is perfect for your helmet, hydration-pack and shoes. There is probably enough...

    I killed our own Cat, that got in my front bumper...

    Yesterday, our Cat got in my front bumper, there seems to be a lot of space there, I did not see it, and some 100 meter from our house, he jumper out, and was dead... I called the service centre, but they say, they can not close the hole, to cool the batteries properly... Does anyone can think...

    How to get rid of micro scratches on interior trim?

    The piano black and dark ash interior trim pieces that are high gloss are VERY prone to micro scratches. When some sort of light hit the surface it looks really bad with all the scratches. The lid in the center console that since some time back also is covered with this high gloss material is in...

    So i've noticed that my steering wheel is a bit "sticky" (not really, just makes my hands feel slightly greasy periodically) and i want to clean it without damaging the material itself. I've used leather cleaners before (on leather, i know this is different) and they seem to either leave a...

    Rear View Mirror Mount for BlackVue Dashcam

    I'm planning to install a BlackVue Dashcam in my Model 3. I'm thinking of using a BlendMount bracket that connects to the rear view mirror to give it a OEM installation look. They have a custom bracket for the Model X and not sure if this will work on a Model 3. I'm concern that the autopilot...

    Painted Spoiler

    Carbon fiber isn't for everyone. While I appreciate the utility of carbon fiber body panels for super cars, my personal take is that carbon fiber trim and accessories on a car like the Model S look tacky. So, I turned down the factory spoiler. But I still wanted a spoiler - I just wanted...

    I took delivery of a Model S 2 weeks ago. Loved how it looked when I picked it up. That blue is awesome! And I saw the red, wow and the white is nice. I'm going to need one of each. Brother in law said you should get PPF. He called a few places and I called a few. We went with Durand...

    Savini BM14s

    Anyone have experience with Savini BM14s? Any quality concerns? I drive aggressive—where it is safe to do so. I had 21” turbines on my last MS and loved them. Never had any issues that some folks have had. But the photos of the BM14s look great and they seem relatively inexpensive. My new MS...

    License plate light yellow projection

    Wondering if anyone has this issue with their license plate light. It projects a yellowish shape onto both sides of my license plate. Not much of a big deal since I don't have to look at it but still seems not right. I had the Tesla service techs take a look but they said it was like all...

    Cleaning Cloth Headliner

    My wife took delivery of her 3 a few weeks ago and we didn't notice at the time that there is a black smudge on the headliner above the driver's door. While I could probably complain to Tesla and take it in for cleaning, it isn't worth it for such a trivial thing. Any suggestions /...

    Have to pay for the 5-seat load floor?

    I was looking around the Tesla shop to see if they had gotten the floor mats back in stock and saw that they were now selling a 5-seater load floor for $120. This is the panel that I remember discussing was missing from the early 5-seaters to cover the underfloor bin and therefore give you a...

    Trunk lights

    Has anyone replaced their trunk lights with Abstract Ocean LEDs? They are plug and play and greatly improve visibility, but I am having an issue properly securing them in the plastic bracket/clip inside the trunk liner. The lights hold well in the liner itself, but I’m concerned if they can’t be...

    How can I make my Model S audio system sound like the Model 3?

    I have a February 2016 Model S without the premium upgrades so everything is standard at that time. My partner got the Model 3 which has obviously has the premium upgrades (since there was no option without). The sound system in the Model 3 sounds much better than my Model S, but I'm no...

    Dash cam, constant 12v or power on 12v?

    I am currently finishing the wiring on my Thinkware Pro F800. Should I hook up to a constant 12v to have it record 24/7 or just run a power on 12v and perhaps add the parking mode later? How's the vampire drain with constant on 12v? Thanks

    BlackVue Dashcam Installer in Maryland

    Auto Dimming Mirrors.... Kinda Dark

    The auto dimming mirrors on my Model 3 are about 3X darker than my Model X making it difficult to see cars at night. And the auto dimming triggers very early at dusk before it is really dark and when many cars don't have their lights on yet. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Model 3 windshield with Toll Pass
