Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

Technically, you bought the $60k version of a $35k car
But no, my 2022 Performance doesn't have it either.
I put a ton of sound deadening butyl in the trunk area of my 2018 M3 and used a felt trunk liner to cover it up. It looked a lot more finished and probably should've come with it originally but Tesla has never included anything to cover the bare metal roof of the trunk.
The one I purchased years ago is no longer available on Amazon but it was this same design: https://www.amazon.com/HIGHER-MEN-A...efix=tesla+model+3+rear+trunk+,aps,728&sr=8-3
Whoever bought my old car probably thinks it came stock with it too...

If you don’t mind waiting a bit, there’s a $39 version available from Ali Express. I’ve heard some negative things about the company, so proceed with caution. But at the price, it seems worth it.

Same for me. I took delivery late February 2022.

Performance with upgraded brakes have an approximately 3mm thinner rotor hat, so the wheels sit further inboard by 3mm. This also exposes a wider 70.1mm hub flange, which is why we all ask if certain wheels are bored to accommodate the lip.
This thread explains it
Model 3 Non-performance - wheel hub lip length
Hello, Could any one tell me the length of the hub lip of Model 3 non performance? (Not diameter) I assume it is about 8mm, am I right? TIA

Not entirely true. The wheels on the performance have a 35mm offset vs 40mm on the LR.…which more than makes up for any difference in rotor thickness.

That has more to do with performance handling aspect and lesser priority on range than anything else.
From a mechanical and fitment stand point, the offset difference is only 3mm. As long as you take those 3mm into account for your wheels, they'll fit virtually the same.
That guy was asking about difference in the hubs, and we all know they're the same hubs. It's the rotor that makes the mechanical difference.
I wasn’t talking about any performance aspects. I was simply referring to your comment that “Performance with upgraded brakes have an approximately 3mm thinner rotor hat, so the wheels sit further INBOARD by 3mm”.
Since the stock Performance wheels have a 35mm offset (vs 40mm)they will actually sit 2mm further OUTBOARD and not inboard. In the end the few mm doesn’t mean much and agree they’re virtually the same. I based my custom offsets off the stock 35mm….so in a way I did take into account that 3mm lol.

Again. My comment has to do with same wheel offset on LR vs Performance hubs. No other difference save for the 3mm thinner rotor hat. My response was to the question pertaining to hub differences.
That's all. You decided to chime in that LR and Perf wheels have different offsets. I pointed out that's a package feature Tesla decided on based on handling and aero priorities being different on LR and Perf trims.
Hubs are the same.
I'll leave it at that.
Yes hubs are the same. If @BadassBob is looking for aftermarket wheels….he should base it off the 40mm or 35mm depending on what car he has or whatever comes stock on whatever car he has. The difference between LR and performance hub offset/rotor hat thickness is meaningless unless he’s planning on swapping out to oem performance rotors or vise versa.
Anyway let’s get this thread back on topic with the original theme of a no posing….right now pic.

Same for me. I put in a service request. Does anyone have pics of with one actually in on a 2022? I want something to use as evidence
My 2018 is missing it. But then again in 2018 model 3’s were missing clips in the fender liners, cf spoilers and badges lol. I don’t even notice it. In fact I just noticed my left led wasn’t lit lol. Tech must have forgot to plug it back in when I just had it serviced.

The seal is just to try and prevent water from getting into the joint….it doesn’t do anything if its already squeaking.
hmm I’m not sure I see what you’re talking about...That’s not bare metal? Or is it a plastic cover that looks the same color as the bare metal?
I think the question was whether people have a plastic/felt liner covering the bare metal.
