Welcome to my first blog!

 Welcome to my first blog on Tesla Model 3 Highland Modifications!

This is a DIY blog on Tesla Model 3 Highland modifications. The aim is to buy your own accessories and install on your own without having to visit a car work shop. Note that some of the modifications do require some kind of skills and experiences on DIY stuffs especially on cars and I would try my best to share as many pointers and pitfalls that you may encountered.


With further ado, let's start the drum rolling....!


Introducing my Tesla Model 3 Highland RWD version



 One glance and you can tell that the aero wheels covers on the rim is not the standard "Photon" aero wheels! Yes, they are the inspired version of the Model S "Tempest" aero wheels cover.


Here is a close up view of the "Tempest" wheel covers:

Matt black version                                           Gun Metal version (with original one on left)



To install the aero wheel covers, simply use both of your hands and grab on the cover and pull it out with a bit of strength. 

To put back, match the air intake valve before pushing the wheel cover back to the rim. Note that the inspired version is bit harder to pull it out and you would need to add padding (as supplied by seller) around the rim to reduce noise. With the wheel covers, it would help your Tesla to increase overall efficiency by a few more percentage and thus I do recommend putting it on. It also serves to protect your rims from kerb rashes as well.

Tesla Model 3 Puddle lights

Image
  In the past, I had several Puddle lights on my previous ride. It is easy to install with simple prying tool but the puddle lights durability is in question. It typically last for a few months before it spoiled and has to be replaced.  Tesla has recently provided the original Puddle lights accessories.  The original Tesla Puddle lights use laser engraving coated glass technology and project the " TESLA" logo on the ground below the car door through five ultra-high-definition full-optical lenses. The Puddle light lamp uses ADC12 aluminum alloy as the back cover shell, which has better heat dissipation and corrosion resistance through anodizing treatment. It can directly replace the original car light cables without any use of adapter. Installation notes To install Puddle lights, you would need the prying tool.
