UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

[m3gt2]

Basically, tyre sealant does not work if the leak in the area with the acoustic foam on the inside - ie most of the tread. And if its not in the tread, then the leak may be in a sidewall which will probably be not fixable either.

If that is the case then I think once I need to replace the tyres I will not be going with the acoustic ones!

Many thanks, looks like i may get one of these as its battery powered (Do the white gloves come with it!)

It does!

How does this work if you've got a nail or screw in the tyre? I thought you'd be up sh1t creek if that happened.

It depends....I have a slow puncture in one of the rears at the moment, loses maybe a pound of pressure per week, so it's all good I'm like Norm from Cheers when I walk into our local tyre shop, between the S and 3, over the past 6 years, I'm at 21 tyres, only 8 of which were replaced due to wear. It's a special day when a tyre reaches it's tread limit, doesn't happen often enough for me!

Was there any extra customs/import duty/Royal Mail/UPS/DHL stealth charges?

Was there any extra customs/import duty/Royal Mail/UPS/DHL stealth charges?

yeah - postage was about $30 and then got hit with £29 VAT and import - not cheap by any means but hey ho......think of the fuel savings in the 1st week alone!

Anyone got any thoughts on this? It’s a USB dual SD/micro SD card reader allowing both cards to be simultaneously accessed - on a flying lead so less strain on USB port. Would this allow music on one and cameras on another? I know I could partition a single drive but this would keep things nice and separate.

First one I came across so may be others.

That’s a good price for a 128GB, but that’s not an Endurance card, so will succumb to the problems of overwriting the files all the time, just the same as a USB stick.

This is the equivalent Sandisk Endurance card:

If It breaks within the first year I'll send it back, for the price a years worth of use is fine, probably get one of the ones you said about eventually though

Model 3 has acoustic tyre inserts and viscous tyre repairs do not play nice with them.

Also the product linked only does up to 17” tyres

17 and above

I got this years ago Hapurs 3 Port USB 3.0 Hub, 9-in-1 Portable USB3.0 High speed Hub SD TF MMC Card Reader with Power Switch https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KZEAR9A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_w-gHDbAD7M25E

Find similar it's been the best usb hub and micro and sd card reader with switch ever!

Need to lie flat to get the kinks our from folded during postage but seem fine

Have the kinks gone?
Does the rubber smell? (Ie, is there an unpleasant odour)

Wonder what the actual fit is like as may take a punt on a cheap set from HK/China.

I have the Frunk one only, and the kinks have disapeared from being folded in post and has shaped it self to the level in the frunk, took about 2 weeks for this to slowly reshape itself. No smell from my frunk one either. FIt seems fine. I assume the fit for the boot ones will be the same.

I suspect it’ll be absolutely fine. I’m currently using a standard Sandisk USB thumb drive for mine, which AFAIR was £22. In the big scheme of things it’s nothing, and I’ll be quite happy if it lasts a year or two.

That said some amazon reviews state it only lasts a month when used with a dash cam, so I may go with your advice and go for the endurance if a deal comes up especially as sandisk offer a 2 year warranty.

Do you think 64gb would be enough?

 

[Roy W.]

That said I may go with your advice and go for the endurance if a deal comes up especially as sandisk offer a 2 year warranty, might go for the 64gb I guess it depends on how much space is used

Last week we were on holiday in Tenby. The car was parked outside our holiday flat, in an off-road parking area. I left Sentry mode on pretty much all week. It's not too busy there - just the other residents from about 10 houses coming and going, but most out at work during the day. On the Friday I got the message to say that my 128GB drive was full, so I swapped to my spare!

Obviously this won't be so much of a problem once we get V10, as that is supposed to delete old files if the drive gets full.

Edit: (I forgot to answer the question!) - I'd think about 128GB rather than 64GB!

Used a 1tb 5400rpm laptop hard drive I had spare and a cheap usb3 enclosure which has power and usb in one cable which has been working well over the last month with no issues

Wrap it up...

Any photos of them fitted?
Doesn't look like they cover the dead pedal completely which is what I'd be after
