Are they compatible with the acoustic foam filled tyres on the SR+ and LR or is it only suitable for a P?

Oh, I didn’t realise that the P+ tires lacked the acoustic foam bit so slime may work and not ruin the tyre. Can someone confirm as I really should buy some in that case (before I get a puncture).

If that is not the same as the Tesla one, you need to check the current draw as the 12v socket in Tesla is rated too low for many compressors.

Little trick with some compressors..... run the compressor before attaching to the tyre. The back pressure it has to overcome to start if connected blows the fuse. Have this on my motorhome which runs between 85 and 100 PSI and I have to connect directly to chassis battery, an option you don’t have in a Tesla I suppose!
Got these too! Came today. Can honestly say worth the money. Going to use a hair dryer on it tomorrow to get it to flatten
I emailed [email protected] regarding the new M3 all weather floor liners for RHD, they responded "We have been informed that they will be around the end of the year."
Where are people ordering things from? are they mostly coming from the US still? I'm interested to try a roof screen seal (RPM style) and a matrix black console wrap but struggling to find anything trustworth looking in the UK. Is importing still the best bet?
Also slightly tempted by the auto lift struts, especially when I saw they were only $30 per end of the car!

£66 including import I'm suddenly tempted! And the kenrico wraps are on amazon...
Any one else in the UK done the struts change? Is it easy enough and low risk? I remember early kits being reported as possibly cracking the back window glass

I thought I had read somewhere that the P did not have the foam. but based on other responses here I may well be wrong

Amazon or Ebay
The struts you mention they can be bought for around £10 - Not UK i think (my friend bought these and we fitted them on his M3P, took around 5mins - Took our time with a small flat head screw driver to pop out the clips on the original ones, then clip in the new ones. They work and seem fine but only seen working for a few times.

I have bought the door seal kit on Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/BASENOR-Tesla-Rubber-Weather-Reduction/dp/B07R13DYYY/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3WI4N42VRROR&keywords=tesla+model+3+seal&qid=1570695700&sprefix=tesla+mod,aps,135&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExNEZBRkMyMVRORThSJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzcxMzUyMzk4NjZLNUFEWkZZVSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODMzMjI5UTM4T1JaUkNJUldGJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==)
Delivery next day
The guy on the video link below mentions this roof seal as the best - Model 3 Wind Noise Reduction Kit Gen. 2 ($24 with 20% Off)
Also try Abstract Ocean for vinyl wraps (Very good quality) im sure they do most colours? - also i didnt pay import tax
- best to ask @pete8314 from Abstract Ocean Also this guy from Tesla Owners Online (YouTube shows his best accessories with links)

Most of the stuff I've fitted has come from TapTes. All very good quality apart from their console wrap, which has now been replaced with one from Abstract Ocean.Where are people ordering things from? are they mostly coming from the US still?

I really can't speak highly enough of the quality of the AO console wrap. The vinyl was at least twice as thick at the Chinese one, and the cut and fit is much better too. The TapTes one also developed air bubbles after a day or two, which I understand is because they use a cheap vinyl. No sign of anything like that on the AO one.
I may have just been lucky, but so far I've had four parcels of goodies - three from TapTes and one from AO - and they've all just arrived with the postie with no customs or duty to pay. YMMV!
Although these stronger struts will make the boot lid pop up when it opens, won’t they also make it harder to close?Thanks for all the awesome info! Are these for the frunk or the trunk? the listing seems to use the words interchangeably! If it can be done for £10 I can't believe tesla didn't do it
The ones with springs (Everyone selling them seems to have them red!) are for the trunk, ones without are frunkThanks for all the awesome info! Are these for the frunk or the trunk? the listing seems to use the words interchangeably! If it can be done for £10 I can't believe tesla didn't do it
