Things to do while waiting for Elon's "something special for Roadster owners"

[wiztecy]

Oh no!!! I already used the clay on the wrap!!! I have 3M Venture Shield so I hope that I didn't screw it up! I didn't see any small print about not using it on the wrap

Bob's right, its mentioned in the 3M Venture Shield Warranty PDF under the "do nots":

Do NOT use any of the following directly on the film:
- Powder-based or abrasive cleaners
- Solvent-based degreasers
- Rubbing compound, clay, or other type
of abrasive material
- High-speed buffing or polishing equipment
- Bug/tar removers

Hopefully the fact that I sprayed a lot of speed shine before using the clay helped it not to harm the shield. Thanks for the information.

.................and that sir probably did save your bacon since the Speed Shine is one slippery solution and coats everything. I have found that if you use a towel to dry the car that has had Speed Shine or Car Wash on it, the water isn't absorbed well. Makes ya wonder.

Just spoke to 3M and they said that I was lucky using the Speed Shine and that I would have noticed something wrong with the film if it was damaged. They recommended using their Imperial Hand Glaze on the paint shield so I ordered that and also recommended their Synthetic Wax and Protectant to put over the glaze. WHEW!

Found something beautiful yesterday, CF doorhandles from the Evora (matt or glossy). Ordered them today and will report if they fit.

Finally managed to get mine yesterday (it took Tesla a while to get these for me).

A real improvement to the interior, and thanks for the tip.

PokerBroker, thanks for your info in my WTB thread. The double-DIN upgrade of my 2.0 is my priority. In the interim, I also got a new neighbor for my Roadster (it's my wife's car):

marco2228, I hope they fit. I had an Evora before the Roadster and they looked a bit larger, deeper, and possibly a little different in shape. But it could be the way they are mounted. Here was my Evora door:

marco2228 - did the evora handles fit?

Wow, the Evora has a nice interior. Wish the Roadster had come with a nicer one.

I've ordered the leather trimmed handles last month, and Tesla is waiting for parts to come in, one part from Europe and the another one is backordered.
Also they noted that the "The trimmed handles are for 2010+ Model Year vehicles."

Can someone list the part numbers? And what colours might be available?

Can someone list the part numbers?

ASY PULL HANDLE DOOR INNER RH, TRIMMED (6003898)
ASY PULL HANDLE DOOR INNER LH, TRIMMED (6003897)
ASY PULL HANDLE DOOR OUTER RH, TRIMMED (6003398)
ASY PULL HANDLE DOOR OUTER LH, TRIMMED (6003393)

I haven't installed them yet, but they look very nice.

No, the Evora handles didnt fit. THey have been bent in a smaller angle.

Random, but today marks a year since this thread was created.

Well, at least at this point Tesla has told us about tangible progress, the test run from San Jose to Santa Monica with the new battery and other mods.

Yes, the past 12 months have just flown by

Anyone got any more ideas?
