first time tesla owner! 22’ model 3 performance. what are some must have accessories, or tips?

not the basic stuff like “use sentry mode” or stuff like that, dig deep!

i absolutely LOVE the car so far. coming from my 150k mile, 2004 beater w no A/C. and of course the 18 year jump in technology is quite a big difference in terms of features, that being said, there’s tons of stuff about this car i’m still learning. i must admit, i always made fun of Teslas when they were first getting popular but this thing is badass.

help with finding out how to work previous owners aftermarket lights?

Just bought this used 2022 model 3 perfomance and it seems to have these light strips at the top where the vent is, right below the screen, and around the edge of the center console (not pictured)

i can’t find an app, or bluetooth name etc to control these lights though. ive checked the center console and the glovebox both because i know sometimes people hide their light modules there to be out of sight, but i don’t see any brand name or qr code or anything like that. any help is much appreciated! right now the lights are just purple, but i know they change as well.

there are also purple lights in the footwell (pic 3), though i’m not sure if that is separate or not.

bought my first car, ‘22 M3P! questions over previous owner lighting?

hey all, recently picked up a 2022 model 3 perfomance as my first car purchase. i absolutely love it so far and haven’t even sat in a tesla before this!

i noticed some rgb lights in the car from the previous owner. but i don’t know how to change them. i know they are aftermarket, and i know they DO change color, because upon getting in the lights illuminate rainbow, before returning back to purple. there are 3 strips. where the air vents are, below the screen, and around the center console (not pictured) there are also matching purple lights in the footwell, but these are not a strip, so im unsure if they go with the other lights or not, but they are the same color.

i checked in the glovebox, and center console both for anything that could give the brand name or app name i could use to control the lights. i also looked thru nearby bluetooth to see if i could pick it up, but nothing comes up.

any help for figuring out where i could find the brand name, a qr code or anything is much appreciated. i was originally just going to remove them, but at night they actually look pretty cool, and id like to see what the other colors look like before i decide. thanks!

Anyone fly out of TUL without a real ID recently? Trying to figure out how early I’d need to go before my flight.

Yes, I am a big procrastinator. Bought a car and I’m flying to pick it up, but I do not have my real ID. Yes, you can make fun of me if you like.

does credit score matter if you’ve never had a car loan?

get ready to make fun of me:

i have a 750 via experian (fico 8) and a 740 Transunuon/Equifax but this is just from credit cards and like 1 $200/mo installment loan within the last like 2-3 years. i’m 23 now and i just submitted a credit application to a dealer, i got a notification that ally and wells fargo pulled my experian that same day. ally came back and said they’d want $17k down on a $50k car.

yes, this is very expensive for a first car and i know that, i plan on buying a car half the price now that I know I pretty much have to. even carvana (pre approval) is giving me 21% apr, requires 7k down on a 25k car which is the highest apr they can charge me legally in my state.

I know i haven’t bought a car before but the maximum rate? people have repossessions, collections and all kinds of stuff I don’t have and get lower rates than that. I’m just basically asking if anything else even matters? Or if that 750 is (basically) meaningless.

car dealership submitted my file to ally for a car loan, what is Ally like as a lender?

what “type of customer” do they generally do business with?
