Thanks for the great video. Amazing how this car was designed with so much intentionality! Such intelligent design!

Glad you showed the water drain for the chargeport. Over time, clogged drains are one of the biggest culprits for lots of issues.

Thanks for this video! I was able to reconnect my subwoofer cable after the body shop that repaired my model 3 forgot to plug it back in. This saved me a trip back to the body shop or a service appointment!

Looking to camperize my future Model Y and this is hands down the BEST resource I've found on what to expect in terms of accessing additional space. Thanks!

Awesome seeing the insides of the trunk! Thanks!

I have a model 3 performance on order and this was a great video that I liked so I can reference later. I love knowing all the details of my car especially the one I ordered. Awesome job looking forward to your next video, I also subscribed.

Thank you! I drive my Performance Model 3 for Lyft and Uber in my spare time (for fun, extra money and to do my part to accelerate clean transportation). After 25k miles in less than a year, I had my first negative experience. I don't drive late night bar closings or it would have come sooner I'm sure. Apparently someone had an improperly sealed growler of beer that spilled a huge volume. I didn't notice it right away, but the next day my entire car smelled like a brewery. The tub was completely saturated and I thought I was going to have to replace the whole trunk liner. Your video gave me the confidence to open the tub, remove and wash the pad. It was a many step process, but in a few hours I was able to make my car beer scent free again! Saved me hundreds and put my car in usable shape so much faster! There is a business opportunity here. Apparently there is a water proof liner that seals the lower few inches of the tub. I would love to buy an insert that slides into that tub and seals it to the top. Has anyone seen that product for sale yet? The smaller tub liner wouldn't have contained this big a spill especially with the acceleration that happens in these fabulous cars.

Good knowing what's under there without going thru it myself. Ty for doing the video.

Excellent info. Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for doing this. This is the only video I found for taking out the rear carpet in the trunk. I have a newer (2022) model, but it appears to be the same.

Thank you! I accidentally spilled a coffee in my under trunk and I had to get the pad out to wash/dry it. Using a plastic trim tool helps a lot.

Thanks much for this!! Some water jugs leaked in my sub-trunk, everything was damp, taking too long to dry out from just airing the trunk, so was able to easily pull up (not out) the liner and blow hot air inside the metal space below and wipe things down, seems all good. Very helpful! Getting a sub-trunk well cargo mat to protect for next time, in case it is Gatorade or something worse than water..

Thank you very much for this video! Gravel stones fell through the hook and behind the liner so cleaning this out helps. Model Y driver

I really appreciate the insights especially the sound quality and subwoofer. I thought it was 10 inches. I also learned something new about the charge port manual release mechanism. A lot of work involved just to see what's under the trunk liner.

Fantastic video brother thank you! When I get my Model 3 II will be putting some extra sound installation all around the car and thinks to your video it will be a lot easier.

12:35 I know it's a beautiful car but you didn't have to cry bro, you gonna make me tear up :)

Thats a very interesting video! Thank you so much!

Great video Matt!

Thanks for the video. I had to remove my liner to clear up a spill. The back seat backs were not difficult to remove. Just a couple bolts on each end and they come out it two pieces. The hardest part was removing the bolt for the center seat belt that is attached to the seat back.

thanks for sharing! great explanation. It will be very useful when I will install my custom led reflectors on the rear bumper

Thank you SO MUCH!!! So glad I didn’t try to take the liner out myself.

Thanks for this video! It is amazing how easy it is to quickly disassemble bits and pieces of this car... I used it to pull off the panels and so on when I installed the HANSSHOW TRUNK KIT. It might be a bad idea to use the +12V under the backseat. HANSSHOW support told me that this +12V is sometimes active and sometimes not. Therefore it would be a bad idea to use it for a cooling box and so on (and of course also for the HANSSHOW trunk kit. There is a +12V far up to the right under the front passenger sidepanel (at least in left hand steeringwheel cars).

Great video!!

Thanks Matt. You have satisfied my curiosity so that I don't have to do this on my own future Tesla.

coredumperror I'm a mechanical designer and fabricator. I have no problem tackling this type of project.

I'll be tearing my trunk liner out in a few days. I got a pretty nasty leak going on. Gets wet on the liner near the amp. And soaked in the storage cargo area. I gotta find it and dry the liner out and spray for smells and mold. eeeek thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the informative video.Maybe next,if you can show the third brake light wiring.

Excellent video. Any possibility you could fit a spare in the space below the floor if the "well" spahed part was cut away?

Thank you for your excellent video, I managed to spill milk in the rear of my car and was hoping that getting the tub out would be a simple job but I fear there is many traps for the unwary so I think I'll pay Tesla service. One suggestion if you do something like this again. Some how add more light to the area so viewers can see more clearly what you are doing.

12 volt car appliances can be found in boating catalogs, coffee makers etc.

Thx Your the only one on KZread that got close to providing a vid of Rear Seat Removal Model 3 Plz add a 2nd vid Title Tesla Rear Seat Removal Model 3 again Thx nice work and If I were you I would cut the tab or slot the tab holding in the liner. Then Gorilla Glue Tape the cut back together.

Great video! Can you please consider making a video showing how to remove and put back the rear bumper? My months old M3 got rear ended and while a body shop replaced the bumper since, there's a small gap on the left side near the wheel well (where bumper and fender meet at the edge) that I want to try to fix myself!

The car's tire noise is pretty big on highway. I saw you remove the trunk liner and it seems easy to access underneath part of the trunk . It will be an interesting project to install something like sound skin to reduce the noise.

Fasinating

seems like a good efficient design.

Wow!! That's a lot of work to get the liner out.

Just wondering, for the rear side covers, how did you put those pieces back in place?

Have you made a video about the audio system?

Question: I noticed my rear seat bottom wasn’t secured all the way down so I pulled the latches and picked up a little. I noticed one of the plugs under the rear seat was not even plugged in but I hadn’t been getting any kind of warning messages. It makes me wonder what these are for? are they weight sensors for the airbags or seat belt pretensioners? Does anyone know? They’re the plugs you undid when you took the seat cushion out.

Do you know what those connectors under the rear seat are for? Both passenger and driver side connectors were disconnected on my car when I got it from the factory. I noticed seat wasn’t sitting flush and when I lifted cushion off I noticed both sitting there unplugged.

Great video! Can you do one with removing and replacing the seat belts in the Tesla? I think the Tesla would look really good with red seat belts.

Do you think it’s possible to swap the front two seats and the rear seats between two model 3’s? My brother has white interior and I have black and we want to swap the seats so I have white and he has black

Ooooh looks interesting

On the subwoofer and amp in the trunk: does the 12V battery or the traction battery power all of those speakers and amps? I wonder how much stress that Premium music system puts on the 12V?

That’s super interesting. Thanks for going through all that! Would you be willing to talk about the rubber seal around the doors? I see a lot of model 3’s that have bulging seals in certain spots. At first glance it’s almost like they were cut too long or they weren’t stretched and applied correctly around the door frame.

@Tech Forum: Hi Matt, thanks for this. I was wondering, isn't all the carpeting really stifling the bass? That carpeting is certainly not acoustically transparent...not really liking it. I know a lot of people love the sound quality of Model 3...I find it lacking in bass quite a bit. It has bass, but that bass seems very mid bassy and artificial compared to real subs that go low, that too effortlessly.

Im disappointed you did not remove the vertical rear seat

I was just going to ask you when can we have a more detailed review on the Model3 sound system. And bang.... found this video... Great! Will you analyse more in depth the rest of the Audio system or this is it ? Great job ! Thank you !

Please don’t remove the charge cable connection to turn off high voltage!! Remove the 12v/16v connection or negative, then disconnect the safety look connection under front hood!! Be safe people! This method does work as Tesla is super safe but what I said is the correct way to disconnect!

Wow great detailed video! Thank you for disassembling so much! Very interesting to know about the cables and the manual chargeport door release! (Edit: Or does it release the charging plug?)

Lmao I’m watching this video because I’m taking my model 3 performance to the drag strip and I want to reduce as much weight as possible

Do you think that sleeping in my model three might be putting my health at risk? Now that I've seen that orange sign voltage connector right under the seat, I'm second guessing putting down the backseats and sleeping in the car usually right on top of that high voltage connector. I'm curious to hear what you guys think about it.

Matt, When the back seat cushion is removed and Out of the car, how far down does the seat back fold? In my Gen 1 volt, when the bottoms are removed, the seat backs fold down completely flat with the rear deck surface. The really makes it nice for packing camping gear.

My thoughts exactly. Hopefully he will totally remove the trunk liner in a later video so we can better see what appears to be a fairly huge area. I have a protective cover out of a Jetta Sportwagen that fits perfectly in my model 3 trunk area. All I would have to do is figure out a way to make a removable support structure that this cover could lay on.

The car seems very well put together. I, mean, there were some issues with early production models, since Telsa was rushing to ramp up production. But, many Model 3 owners are now saying they really like their car. And many who also own a Model S or X, have pointed out that they think the Model 3 is a better car for the money. And, not to mention a teardown of the Model 3 revealed the car has military-grade tech. At first I didn't like the fact that the screen of the Model 3 projects out of the dash, as well as the fact that the car doesn't feature smart air suspension. But, now, I would buy this car in a heartbeat, if I had the money.
