My Pearl White Model 3 with some early mods

[Barklikeadog]

I'm 6'3" and I fit in the back no problem. It feels more roomy in the back for me than a Model S (I've ridden in both).

Cmon man. Be real. Maybe you enjoy riding around with your head incredibly close to the roof. You're only saying that because you love the car. The back seat goes right to the pillar for cryin out loud. It's a compact car. 25 years ago I had an 88 firebird... pleeennty of room in the back (cause I didn't have to sit there)

That’s the back seat of an S

when are you gonna lower it?

 

[mauswerkz]

Did you PlastiDip or wrap the chrome? Also what did you use on your ‘Shadow’...love the effect.

I used wrap on all the chrome and the shadow. It's 3M 1080 Matte Deep Black from here.

Congratulations @mauswerkz I particularly like your front fascia shadow trim. Very creative. (...) Do you mind if I copy?

I hope you don't mind if I copy you.

Thanks! Copy away

Are you an employee or a non-employee?

Any impact on efficiency with the 20" tires?

I really like your mods. Are you also considering lowering the car a bit? Is it possible with Model 3?

TSportline is going to offer coilovers. Would assume there would be enough demand for just lowering springs as cheaper alternative. And yes, I know lowering springs are poser way to lower car, blah blah blah...

How did you deal with the stock rear windshield's faded tint? Did you tint 40% over the entire rear windshield? Or did you only tint the lower, untinted, area? What are your thoughts on that?

If you tinted the entire rear windshield, did you also tint the front row glass ceiling, so it would match the rear windshield darkness?

Car looks amazing. Congratulations. I live in East Bay and now see 2-3 Model 3s everyday. They look great.

I'm wondering about this. I don't want to make the ceiling portion any darker, so I may just not tint the rear at all. Maybe with the sides dark, you won't see much into the rear anyway?

Looks beautiful. I'm leaning towards a white 3 as well so nice to see your pics. I do like the chrome bling but think you did a nice job with the blackout and still a good look. Will be keeping an eye out for you on the road. So far only saw one 3 on the road driving (on 85 - Peninsula side) and that was shortly after employees were getting their cars during the event.

Unfortunately we're pretty much on the other side of the bay driving so they're harder to spot than for you guys in the East Bay unless I guess we're up by Palo Alto.

Congratulations @mauswerkz. Beautiful car although I'd personally never take away the chrome. I really love the white with chrome.
How much time was there between your config, VIN allocation and delivery?

I'm 6'3" and I fit in the back no problem.

Will......never.......work.

I feel so bad for you, I will be happy to ease your future pain and take the car off of your hands today.

How’s the view at night through the back tint with the massively thick defrosters? My current car with thin defrosters already creates a lil double vision on headlights. Wonder if thicker is better or worse.

 

[Kuhz]

.....I'll have an even better idea of its actual capability when I take it up to WA state later this month.

If you’ll be in Seattle area let me know. Would love to check in out in person. Drink on me

Awesome car with tasteful mods. Thanks for sharing the bolt pattern as well. Any specific reason you went for the 20s?

 

[No2DinosaurFuel]

I'm getting about 240-280Wh/mi. I'm confident it would go the full 310 miles if I weren't driving it 80mph on the freeway. I was very impressed with the range on my LA trip. I'll have an even better idea of its actual capability when I take it up to WA state later this month.

Are those efficiencies from the 20 inch rims you have or the Aero rims? Also what is your 90% charge range?

do the model 3 buyers get referral codes?

It'd be interesting to see, but on my MS, I rarely use my rear view mirror anymore. I have my screen set with map in top portion, and rear camera on bottom portion at all times. So that's my rear view 'mirror'. I like it because with the fish eye, it even captures the blind spots. I know the screen is smaller so it'll be interesting to see if this usage works on the M3 screen.
