Hello, can anyone recommend seat covers suitable for model 3? Really want to protect the seats as I have an outdoor job surveying and agriculture.
thanks in advance.
Cancel Christmas... 😭
'Fraid so. The parts were actually quite cheap - around €500 + vat. Most of the cost was labour and paint materials. Much of the scuffing in this photo rubbed off so it wasn't as bad as it looks here. Sentry mode saved me a hefty bill.
Some people have had success with autoglym rubber care;
I tried it but it didn't work for me. I have several creaks in what appears to be the rear door panels and drivers panel / b pillar.
Have booked a mobile service call which will hopefully help to get to the bottom of it as it's driving me mad!
Also check out this thread as it might help
Really?? 😱
I'm in Dun Laoghaire.
Mine had almost identical damage. You're looking at a €3k repair. Ace in Bray did mine and did an excellent job.
Where are you based?
Ashmore Ryder gets great reviews on the owners group.
If not Ace, then where?
"any of the crash repair places go in through the wheel arch and push out the dent using a series of bars (don’t know the name of them, they look like a load of different shaped small crowbars."
Paintless Dent Removal tools..
Looks like a reasonably straightforward fix tbh - any of the crash repair places go in through the wheel arch and push out the dent using a series of bars (don’t know the name of them, they look like a load of different shaped small crowbars. It’s a very delicate job, applying tiny amounts of pressure around the dent and could take a few hours). Then a normal respray and you’re done
I've seen posts where people are lubricating the hatch door rubber to stop, or help with, a creaking noise. Can somebody tell me what is used to lubricate the rubber seal?
TIA.
The bumper is an easy fix. The dent may require painting and that means a whole panel or a blow in.
Im sure either or with regards ace should be fine but if you’re paying yourself then I wouldn’t go to ace.
Dented as well as scratched 😥
Tesla's Irish site lists Ace Fairview as their go-to bodyshop, but presumably I can take it to Ace in Bray and get the same know-how?
Post a pic.
Tesla won’t fix it anyway. They will send it to Ace.
Check if you have 2 profiles set up on same car that exclude home is set on both
Is anyone else's Sentry mode turning on at home?
I have mine set to on but to exclude home, which I have set correctly.
But a lot of the time (probably at least 40%) the app says that the sentry mode is active, I can see some battery drain, then I have to turn it off.
There's an update tonight for "minor fixes" so hopefully it'll be fixed then.
Tesla don't do bodywork. They will refer you to one of their approved body shops, like Ace Autobody.
People have complained about then before, that they were having a jaunt on customer cars etc., but they did a job on mine recently and it was 1st class.
Yeah only got the car in May... There are two panels involved 😥. Just worried that there might be sensors cameras somewhere that mightn't be picked up by a non-Tesla bodyshop.
I wouldn't go to Tesla, depending upon your location I would go to a good body repair shop.
Sorry to hear..😒
The OH put a pretty deep set of scratches on the left rear panel today. Possibly dented as well, hard to tell for sure in the rain. Is it better to go to Tesla for body work or can it be done anywhere?
IWe sure did, ya racking up the miles. I need do a bit of research. At this rate I’ll be out of basic warranty after 2 years 🙈.
They will probably need to have the hockey puck things for jacking it up.
We bought the same day and I thought my mileage was high at 13k. I need to rotate mine too. You definitely need the pucks and I believe the nuts need to be tightened more than regular cars. No idea on exact torque though.
I can understand swapping front/rear but why would you want to swap sides? Unless you have uneven tyre wear that will obviously benefit from it?
Hey anyone recommend a tyre place around cork/ballincollig side that will do a swap sides.
16k kms done so might not be any harm, is there anything the garage needs to know specifically for Teslas or is it the same as any car (just thinking with sensors etc)
Thanks
Feeling like Chuck Yeager as I go through the 250kW barrier 🙂
I quoted you in error, using my phone.
Are you Woodie40?
I am referring to their EV’s.
