I cant get over the wheel gap. Looks better in black, but all the Mod3s seem to ride high to me

Since you guys reupholstered the seats, can you give any indication if there is a rear seat warmer?

@GregRF

The Model 3 does not have heated rear seats.

Hmm, even with the premium upgrade package? Could have sworn it said heated seats for all locations with the upgrade...

Thanks for the confirmation.

Now get a set of silver turbines on a blue 3 so I can drool some more!

This car needs performance pedals. That is an easy upgrade that looks good.

Here's a great 360 CAM video of the interior of this vehicle. To each his own

Not much you can do with customization of a Tesla VS a ICE car.

Some things I would buy;

-arachnid copies with OEM centre cap space that can fit OEM Telsa caps so it looks factory.

-Wrap kit for the scratch magnet center console.

-Bolt cover kit lie optional 19" wheels for 18" standard wheels.

For the wheel gap I probably would use larger aspect tyres to fill in the gap, would make look less like a moon buggy.

Larger aspect tires are not recommended by tire experts. The MAXIMUM recommended increase in diameter is 3%, which is maybe 1/4" on the model 3. A larger tire will throw all UI software in disarray with respect to speed, distance, calculated range, etc. This MIGHT void your warranty if any damage is done to any aspect of the car as a result of rims or tires larger than OEM. Just a reminder, the outside diameter of the 18" and 19" wheels (rim plus tire) are virtually the same as a result of skinnier tires on the 19" rims.

What I am looking for are fender flares, similar to the Model X, that will close the fender gap on the existing wheels.

Will be fine, I'm only talking about 4% increase in diamter by going one up size in ratio, from 235/45Z R18 to 235/50ZR18. Speed error is 62.3mph @60mph. Most speedos read high so will be dead on. Done this for years on several cars and its fine, infact it improved the performance and decreased cost due to tyres with larger ratios being cheaper (luck of the draw). Will fill in the gap nicely.

Above with fender flares will look sweet.

Yeah, too bad it actually does have heated rear seats.
