What did you do to your Model 3 today

[KenC]

After finding out that my trunk gasket wasn't seated correctly, had to pull the gasket off, then put it back with the flange out, I started inspecting some of the other gaskets around my car, in particular the ones around the windows, since mine never seemed seated correctly.

These don't seem like they press against the glass all that well, especially since they're in the airstream.

Another view of how the gasket doesn't seem to press against the window, and may allow air and water to force its way in, or source of buffeting noise.

So, I thought I'd pull it out and see if maybe it wasn't seated right, just like my trunk gasket.

So, that's what it looks like when pulled out. It covers the leading edge of the glass. If there's air or water intrusion, this should stop it. If there's wind buffeting, this should stop that. I did this on all 4 windows.

Of course, it's totally subjective, but I think it actually helps with sound from wind noise. Think about it, the gasket on the front windows are in the b-pillar right by your ear! It's probably mostly placebo, but I'm happy to have done it.

Installed the full carbon fiber console replacement from ShadowCraft (difficult DIY install) and mudguards.

Does the RFID card reader work with the carbon console? If not, how do you add/delete cards/keys?

THE RPM Tesla console will block the RFID and they state just to use the reader on the B Pillar but never answered about adding or deleting cards.

No the RFID does not work with the console, which is the same with the RPM Tesla console cover. I did confirm that when adding new keys, when it asks you to swipe on the console, it works if you swipe on the B pillar instead.

The RFID is not a big deal to me since I use my phone 100% of the time, and the key only for valet. I give them a heads up that the console doesn't work and they need to swipe the B pillar.

Had mine detailed. One bit of advice, if you get a personal phone call and you have Bluetooth enabled and still connected to your car, apparently your conversations can still be heard in your car. A bit embarrassing but also a bit of a chuckle as the detailers got a laugh out of my phone call with my Doctor. Fortunately it was one of those phone calls where the topic was light hearted.

Thanks. I like the carbon console but was concerned about adding/deleting cards (which is the only time I use the center console as well). Good to know the pillar works the same as the center console.

Almost exact replicas to OEM pedals that come with the performance trim. The pull tabs help so much during installation!

This is awesome- is it all controllable via "Ambient Lights" button on the screen or only through the app?

Found another post of yours where confirmed it was XKGlow - do you know what kit was used exactly? Found this: xkglow.com/catalog/product/car-truck/led-fiber-optic-kits-for-cars-xkchrome-smartphone-app/

You left out the best part - it will only set you back $599-699 for the plates plus $7-8 monthly service fee (different articles quoted different prices). If DMVs are serious about these - they will need to do something about the prices.

If keying cars weren’t enough wait till the little darlings start plate punching
