Annual maintenance and rust concerns on a Tesla Model 3

Here's a list of affiliate links to the parts I used in this video: Ceramic Brake Pads: amzn.to/3WBBGbQ Brake Lube: amzn.to/3UVLfkF Brake Parts Cleaner: amzn.to/3wjhyAB Fluid Film: amzn.to/3K1edch Iron Remover: amzn.to/3UCrSeL Dielectric Grease: amzn.to/3JVfXnr Push Pin Pliers: amzn.to/3JWa61c Hand Cleaning Wipes: amzn.to/4bx8mYg Battery Terminal Brush: amzn.to/3QzVzw8 And big thanks to Peter at evpartsguy.com/ for hooking me up with the fenders! Feel free to give him a call if you need any new or used parts and tell him I said hi!

To answer your question: I just want more videos - long or short. You’re an incredibly clear, concise, and informative teacher. At this point I’ll watch anything you post, no matter the length. Someone suggested you do a video on clearing out the incredible amount of junk that collects between your condenser and radiator. A friend and I did our cars and it was quite challenging and I don’t think we did as thorough a job as we could have. I’d love to see a video on that. Thanks so much for these videos, Adam!

I promise I will watch every Model 3 maintenance video you make.

Man I don't care about video length as long as you only post from now on. Thank you for the video and the information you shared with us .

Your M3 is the same year and similar mileage as mine. In service mode, I suggest you run a "Thermal System Performance Test". Your test will likely fail. Then remove your frunk tub and check how much crap is in your radiator/condenser. I think you'll have a nice future video cleaning it coming up! ;) You will need to remove the bumper and slide out the fan shroud to properly get to the condenser to clean it.

I appreciated how accessible this was for someone without any experience doing this kind of thing. I almost feel like I could follow the steps myself, but I'll probably still use professionals to be safe :-)

Nice to see that someone is doing proactive cleaning and making a video about how to do it.

I liked this long format. I watched it all. Very informative and I've learned something new.

Always such thorough content! Very much appreciated!

Those presentations are so well prepared… also, the tone and talking speed is very well delivered and it helps international audience; I am not in the Tesla family; (Ioniq 5 & 6) but I enjoy all of his presentations. What is good for Tesla is also good for Hyundai; thank you for all those little details…! And have a nice day, 👌

Very interesting. My 2022 model 3 now has 70,000 miles and I live in a heavy road salt area as well. Changing my winter tires over to summer I also take apart my brakes to clean and lubricate them. This year I noticed surface rust pitting all over the steel mono structure. Now that I see how easy it is to remove the whole fender liner I’m going to go back an apply a thin coat of that wax you used.

absolutely one of the most informative videos on general maintenance of the model 3 out there!

Thank you! These are the most informative, helpful, and easy-to-follow auto maintenance videos I’ve ever seen. Half the time I’m watching a YouTube video I’m just listening while I play a game, but I watch every single frame of your videos. Tremendous signal-to-noise (info-to-filler) ratio.

Adam, you are incredibly detailed and thorough! This is what sets you apart from other YouTubers. Do not shorten these videos by skimping. I’m fine with your longer running times because I know I’m going to learn a lot. But you could experiment with breaking up some existing videos into “Part 1 of 4” with titles that tease the content of each. You could also lead your content description a link to full video. You do a great job. I’m excited when your videos come out!!

Great video! Thank you for all the details. I didn’t mind the length. It was all very relevant for annual maintenance.

Thorough job, love these long form well researched videos

This just popped up in my feed and you are a) very concise and b) far more thorough than a workshop tech will ever be in a franchised garage! Great job 👏

Yes! More long form. This was great and super valuable.

Please more long form videos. Thanks! :)

Thanks for such a nice video. I watched it from start thru the end without skipping. Please keep doing this kind of video more.
