Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[dronus]

so many blacks and yet no VINs for me

Most of the photos ive seen so far are darker colour cars which is curious

Can anyone recommend a decent sun shade for the M3H that is retractable?

 

[sishome]

Im really hoping the white/chrome trim around the windows is protective tape

Sure-sure. And two specially trained guards are hidden behind every car. And seven, no more, no less, beautiful maids in bikinis equipped with soft and gentle rainbow-coloured brushes swipe tiny bits of dust from multi-layer military-grade titanium protective coating every 50 km, and all this circus is under the energy shield.

I highly recommend Snapshades. I've been using them for my current vehicle and after 4 years of abuse use, the shade is still in great condition and hasn't warped or discoloured. I've ordered and have the M3H windscreen shade ready to go as well.

For the roof, I'm thinking I'll go with adding an extra layer of tint to it instead of adding shades. Going to do some more research this weekend about the best option/reviews.

I read most tinters advise against tinting the roof as it increases the chance of the glass cracking, I wanted to do mine but have been put off now

I note you have overtaken me on the total number of TMC posts… and you’ve only been a member for not quite 5 months compared to my six-and-a-half years

@Vostok - 1.5 posts/day
@dronus - 25.5 posts/day

That‘s… um... prolific!!

I read the same thing but mostly from other people's opinions or rumours. I asked a tinting specialist in the ACT who advised it's perfectly fine to do and he has done many without issue.

Soo I outright asked em, and they said this...

Great, just when I get notified model 3 has been assigned today someone decided to sideswipe my model y this morning (within 100m from work no less).

That sucks man, hope they had insurance.

agree, TintHaus in Sydney also advised me they do it, have done thousands of Teslas and not one has cracked over the years! Do will def me doing mine there

Still hoping someone can provide a good recommendation on a sun shade that is retractable. So not one that I have to completely remove and store somewhere but one that I can just pull back to let the light in.

You don’t need it, pump the air con up and just enjoy the view. I have been in 35 heat and it was all ok. Just get the car and try for yourself then decide if you need to spend the $$$.

Hey did anyone reply to my glove box USB hub query for the M3H? can’t seem to track one down for the RHD version, only found LHD

Why do you need anything more than the USB stick? Are you going to view the hundred of hours or boring ass video? You only need the 10 seconds before an accident.

Agree, too many mentions of concerns about the "heat" from the glass... I test drove for almost an hour on 35+ sunny day, zero issues for me.

But yes, try it out first without a shade, then if heat were an issue for you after owning one for a few weeks by all means get a shade.

Spot on, it’s already tinted, heavily tinted. Don’t get sucked in to spending hundreds on a sun shade.
