Adding to the list of things I never thought I would do, I installed a dashcam. Took almost 4 hours (most of it spent trying to get the cords through microphone area and the pesky rear rubber tube. Apparently I created a new method for dealing with the cord on the other side
which I doubt will catch on. I made a slit, not a huge gaping hole. I think it will be fine as long as I don't submerge the car. After pouring a bucket of water on the hatch and going through 3 touch-less washes I haven't seen any evidence of water leakage for what it's worth.
I dropped my car (name's Lina) at a shop for XPEL and Opticoat pro plus this morning. Since MI hates Tesla, there are only a few places that have dealt with them. I've been waiting a month for this appointment and every day I've been having mild anxiety attacks thinking I'm going to get rock chipped. In the end I found 2 small ones. One on the front lip just towards the passenger side and the other on the front logo chrome trim just to the side of the T - I drive on the highway almost every day so it's pretty hard to pick them out from the smashed bugs at least
A brief dialogue from drop off:
Shop guy: "Oh it has the new front end right?"
Me: "Yes. I was worried about that flat front section getting chipped so I left the license plate frame on. Can you take it off for me?"
SG: [after checking it out] "yeah I just need to figure out how you get these weird star bolt things off..."
[...]
SG: "So it's brand new?"
Me: "Yes. I've had the car for about a month."
SG: "Have you taken it through any friction washes?"
Me: [facial expression: Through a WHAT?! You think I've been riding around in fear and then decided it was cool to roll it through a sandpaper conveyor?!]
SG: "Good, of course you didn't"
@Neuromancer you owe us some more pics/garage info! I'm sure you're too busy enjoying Shadowfax for that though
