I am hoping that those who get it done provide some feedback on it. I am not worried about opening height since the model 3 isnt a hatchback, but I admit freely that I have missed having a powered trunk from my BMW days, and its exacerbated when I drive my wifes model Y with its nice powered trunk.
When I get mine done ill chime in if the opening height looks different.
Same parts are listed on my invoice. I have a 2018 Performance without the performance upgrade package.For anyone following along on this thread, I got my estimate from Tesla confirming my appointment. It has the part numbers for this retrofit listed on it, so I thought I would share as there will likely be people interested.
My ask would be, if you ordered one of these retrofits, when you get your estimate with your part numbers, compare it to this one I got and see if the part numbers are the same, etc. My car is a 2018 Model 3 Performance.

You and me both …. Dang gone in <24 h … obviously a factory feature ppl wantedI was nowhere near fast enough. I'll console myself in that I get to see how it works out for the rest of you before I get it
Console yourself with the fact that those of us getting it are getting (per my estimate) part numbers ending in "00-A". I am hoping that the fact this was out in another country for a while has had a chance for the kinks to get worked out, but that part number "00-A" does make me a bit nervous, lol.You and me both ….

I’m not, it’s not like it won’t be under warranty if it fails or has issues within the year.Console yourself with the fact that those of us getting it are getting (per my estimate) part numbers ending in "00-A".

The Model 3 trunk does open in a hatchback like manner and ends up fairly high like a hatchback. It may be more likely to hit long loads on roof racks than trunk lids on other cars.
The newer Model 3 with power trunk from the factory does allow setting the open height lower than the highest possible.
I have to agree with this, the 3 is not a hatchback style. Usually, a hatchback/fastback would include the entire rear glass which would also be a part of the trunk storage space. The 3's trunk does not open with the rear glass and the rear glass is not a part of the trunk storage space.I guess we will have to just agree to disagree on this. I have been driving my model 3 since 2018 and nothing at all about its trunk says anything like "hatchback" to me, not even close. The car that my model 3 replaced was a BMW 435, which had a fastback style hatchback. This car has a regular trunk, to me, no different than any sedan with a trunk.
When powered frunk? I feel that would be more useful.
He means the height of the car with trunk open, which opens almost as high as a hatchback hatch, given the car is sloped like one and the hinge design Tesla chose (even though the glass does not go up with the trunk). I had a regular sedan (an old Camry) prior to the Model 3 and the Model 3 trunk is nothing like that.I guess we will have to just agree to disagree on this.
