    Does Anyone Make a Door-Handle-Mounted Cup Holder That's Over 3-Inches in Diameter?

    tldr; I'm looking for this style cup holder but in something larger than 3" diameter: I'm growing increasingly frustrated with these Chinese offerings that all state they're over 3" in diameter but then you get them and they're less than 3" ID. The tumblers were use are right about 3"...

    Drivers side door making a flapping noise when driving.

    So all of a sudden my Tesla model 3 LR 2023 drivers side window is making a flapping noise. If I push on it, it stops. If I roll the window down and back up it either stops or dampens the noise. I’m in NY and it only started when I used the app to open the door because my handle was frozen over...

    Passenger door and trunk issues (model S 2014)

    The problem I have with my 2014 is very interesting. For sometimes the passenger door opens itself when I approach the car or when I put the car in park. Since the problem doesn't happen every time I have been ignoring it. I just made sure to check the passenger door whenever I leave the car. I...

    Hi everyone, I purchased a white Model 3 a while ago and have been really wanting to wrap it recently. Preferably a type of black. I know the jambs could cause it to look a bit goofy and was considering paying quite a bit more to have them done as well. Has anyone wrapped their white Model 3? If...

    Driver side door “tapping”

    My driver side door has a tapping noise that can’t be replicated at the service center but nevertheless happens on almost every drive. It’s subtle. I’ve removed the door panel and put insulation on every part I could imagine could rattle. It went away for a few months but is back. I removed the...

    Refreshed 2021/2022 Model X Doors

    I have a question pertaining to the doors on the refreshed X. The way it's worded on Tesla's site ("Automatic opening and closing front doors" -plural), it makes it sound like both of the front doors open as you approach them. Is this the case? Furthermore, do the auto opening doors work if you...

    Model 3 collision damage - thoughts?

    Door opens on its own

    Several hours after I washed my 2018 Model S in a no touch high pressure wash while parked in my garage I got a notification that my driver door was open. I went out and found the door ajar.

    I Love the blacked out look of the car, I love the deep blue color of the car.... but as the days get shorter and the weather colder, I realize that finding the door handles is going to be a challenge, especially with gloves on! I also appreciate living and recreating in areas with little light...

    Rattle inside the rear passenger door.

    I know there are a few posts about rattles inside the door panel but in my car the rattle is inside the door itself. I can hear the rattle when I hit on it near the door latch with the panel removed. I have no idea how to get to it without messing around with the glass assembly. Does anyone try...

    Model 3 Sr+ Door Closing Question

    We just got out model 3 and when we shut the doors, they sometimes don't shut all the way, probably 75 percent of the time. You really have to shut the doors really hard for them to close all the way. Is this normal ? The door will close all the time if you slam them. The same goes for the...

    Noise from passenger front door - like a loose nut in door

    This noise sounds like a nut that is loose in the door. I doubt there is a nut that is loose in there, but it's just to explain what it sounds like. I hear a "knock" when I accelerate or decelerate. If I accelerate/brake very slowly, the noise doesn't happen. But if I drive normally, at every...

Top of the list for me is that I get a lot of wind noise from the driver's side rear seat window, which will not remain in its fully extended position. The window will extend to its highest...

    Battery port door no longer opens when pressed

    Driver door chrome trim hits FWD chrome trim

    When I close my (driver) door, it makes a big "metal against metal" sound. I found out it's because the chrome trim runs into the FWD's trim. See attached picture. It didn't use to do that... Is there something that got out of alignment? Perhaps the position of the car when you close the FWD...

    How far does your front door open when pressing door button?

    When I got my model 3 in mid April, the two front seat doors used to open widely (about 45 degrees) when pressing the door button from inside.

    Model 3 DOOR Clearance

    I have an 7" (7 inch) wall next to my driveway on the driver's side. What is the ground clearance of the model 3's DOORS when opened? I don't have my model 3 yet, so curious if someone can measure and let me know so I can do something about the wall if need be before I get my car. Thanks.
