Interior

I Have no relationship to this company. Sometimes things go right. Would like to share that. They did a brilliant job repainting my new-to-me 21” turbines to correct curb rash. I had noticed their truck at my service center and made a note of it. The tech said he just did his first Model 3...

I took delivery of my Model 3 last week and it's been great. Haven't had any major issues, but noticed a couple of things about the center screen. When driving the car, the screen looks gorgeous in general, but when the sun is coming in at a low sharp angle from behind, there's a reflection...

I have custom wheels 3 piece on my Vette and Camaro as well as few other wheels on my other rides. So the Tesla felt left out so, we went with the below setup. The monoblocks should hold the horsepower well. So we added 1 piece forged wheels 100% American made 21x9 = 26lbs 21x10 =28lbs Finish...

Just wanted to share my experience there. Was in Florida for the weekend and took the drive from Palm Beach to see the car. Went with my two sons and my dad. I was very impressed with their 'tour' of the car. Small line when we arrived (Sunday late afternoon), but you still wait @10 - 15...

I have a large dog, 95#. She doesn't mind going in my wife's Range Rover or the kids' Volvo, but she digs in her heels when I try to put her in my Model X. I wonder if there's a sound at a frequency I can't hear? The "step up" is not an issue for her, and she needs much more human pushing to...

My build date is 09/2017. Has anyone experienced this issue and fixed via SC?

This is a straight forward question. Which do you prefer? Curious how choice might effect resale value... I have 2 days to Change my order. I’m a bit conflicted. Current Model S has Sun Roof. Ordered an S with All Glass Roof Yesterday. I think I will miss XM more than Roof rack option. Feel free...

Posted a month back about a smoking FWD. In short (no pun intended) early in the AM I set car via app to precondition. Car had already charged to 100% around midnight prior. I drive a 75D MX, build date late AUG 2017. Walked into the garage to see faint whisp of white smoke coming from the...

Anybody have an pictures of their tint job on the model 3? Particularly interested in how the rear window was tinted and how it was blended with the factory tint. Edit: oops can a mod drop this in the interior/exterior area?

Hello everybody, I’m in the market for a cpo Model s and I am reasonably short (5’ 5”). How has everybody’s experience been for short drivers. -Daniel

With nothing more than a drill and rotary file ( a small hand file would have worked also ), I removed a small amount of plastic to raise the installed height of my 2017 MS phone docking connector. This of course was needed to allow my iphone with a case to properly engage the connector. A well...

Does anyone know the paint code for the 18" stock wheels? I have a blemish I'd like to cover on the exposed rim. It looks very close to the exterior midnight silver metallic paint.

TMC Forum Readers - I took delivery of my Model 3 on 2/14 and thought I would pen a quick post on my initial impressions, hoping that some of my points might be new to others. Now a little background before I get into it... I have been part of the forum for 2 years now, when I was serious...

I took delivery on my white M3 this weekend! What an awesome car! I made my own QI duel chargers and works and looks great! Saved $100 on the one that has yet to be released. Easy to do yourself! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075Q97P9T/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi everyone - since the model 3’s exterior door handle requires a push-n-grab action to open the door, the area above the door handle seems to get scratched very easy by fingernail from everyday use (sort of like the door cup area in a traditional car door). Anyone have some creative idea on...

New owner of a cpo, the driver handle is making an annoying high pitch squeaking noise when the door is shut. Obviously it needs service which it is going for on Tuesday, however does it require a full replacement or is there some lubricant that is required as maintenance on the extending handles?

It bothers me that my S won't keep the parking lights on when I turn the switch to parking lights, and I leave the car. As soon as I open the door to get out... they go off. Tsk! tsk! tsk!... this right here is Tesla's error. Sometimes I just want my car to be marked at dusk, because, you...

The sound system is exceptional in the Model 3, and it appears that this subwoofer and amp are part of the reason.

So I'm sure everyone on this forum is well aquainted with Evannex's gorgeous rear center console for the Model S. If not, it is $329 and here is the link, Rear Center Console Insert for Tesla Model S I have no doubt that like all Evannex products this console is great but being a cheap kind...

Has anyone tried to replace the sliding door in the facelift center console? I have a 2016 MS with the black door and would like to change it out with one of the carbon fiber ones they offer in the newer version of the console. I bought the "CF sticker" but don't like the fit so I didn't put it...

Hi all, I just ordered a new MS75D and looking for some recommendations: - a good installer for XPEL or similar protection in NYC/NJ area - a good place to powder coat the stock wheels - best threads for interior storage ideas/links (especially bummed that new seats don't work with kangaroo...

Hi, I have one of the first vegan cream color interior for my model X. It seems that stains gets absorbed into these vegan leather. I had a model X in the past with real leather and had no issue with this. Was wondering if anybody else have the same problem. Bringing it up to test. I tried...

Video explanation of the physics behind the cool new vents. (Video credit: my son, Tava)

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...

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...

any one have something similar? Have had my car for a month but have never touched this area on the dash or placed anything there. It almost looks like a burn mark from a device placed there or a phone? Wonder if this could have happen during delivery prep or possibly from the factory...

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...

Has anyone ever catch any accidents while the camera is recording in park mode? I am trying to justify the need to have the unit permanently powered on

Our Tesla Model 3 Carbon Fiber Sport kit is what we call a great exterior upgrade if you're looking for that "oe plus" look. It's not too subtle, yet not overly aggressive. It's just the right amount of sport for a clean modern sporty look. Our Front Apron for the Tesla Model 3 enhances the...

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...

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...

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...

Has any swapped out their next gen rear seats for gen 1 rear seats?

Cloth Bags - straps too long? Simply twist the bag handles to shorten them. Hold the bag up with both straps in one hand, and spin the bag with your other hand. You get the idea. Or try putting one strap on the right and the other strap on the left. (I can't supply pictures, perhaps others...

Hello All, We have our 3 with standard wheels coming in two weeks and I was wondering if it is possible to take the 19" wheels from our S and put them on the 3. (we would then get custom 21" for the S).

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...

Hi guys, I just noticed that I accidentally scratched up my centre console (piano black finish) of the sliding top panel of my centre console. I am talking about the sliding door under which we have two big removable cup holders. I placed my anker 20000mAH power brick and phone on there. It...

Any pictures of this combo out there?

My wife would like cream interior, the configuratior stats that black is the only color available for 1st production, any ideas when 2nd production will begin or when we will have the option to order a different color interior??

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...

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...

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...

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...

We have a Model X 100D set to arrive in late March. We ended up with the 7 seat configuration as it's a great option for when family comes to visit. But outside of a few visits per year, we don't expect to have much use for the 3rd row seating during daily use. But the larger cargo area with the...

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 /...

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...

Ninth trip to the trip to the SVC for problems in 15 months. This time we are dealing with more radio and phone connectivity issues, again, my odometer resetting to zero, what seems to be a low powered hvac unit, and scariest of all, a steering problem. When I looked at my mobile tesla app, to...
