    So . i personally like the Tesla Model 3 BeamNG Mod i downloaded when i first started playing, basically became my daily and i'm planning to do a little refresh on the Californian Electric Sedan.

    Here's my Roadmap.


    Animations for doors/trunk
    I'm going to learn Blender + JBeam Editor basics
    Rig doors, trunk, hood as props with proper hinges
    Make them open/close interactively in-game


    Reset tow hitch & mini nav tablet
    Move props in Blender to realistic positions
    Fix pivot points and check alignment in JBeam
    Prevent clipping or floating in-game

    Tesla Center Screen Revamp

    Apply emissive textures so the display glows realistically
    Optional: mock Tesla UI for immersion

    I should also mention : I don’t really know Blender yet, and I have a pretty short amount of time because of school. So this project will be a slow process, but I’m excited to learn as I go and gradually bring this Tesla mod to the repo.

    im also planning to replace the ETK horn by this

    it's taken from a Pre-Refresh Tesla Model 3, but i guess it'll work!



    (also big shoutout to XNMe for creating this mod)

    That’s fine, everyone has their own taste. I’m just doing this project because I enjoy working on the mod and improving it for myself and those who want it.

    Good! Have you made any progress? Because rules say you must have some. If you don't, dw, since I think it's your first thread and I don’t wanna be annoying. Hope this project gets done!

    Thanks! I’m still at the very early stage, but I did make one bit of actual progress:
    I adjusted the in-game performance because the car originally drove completely wrong.
    They accelerated way too fast, tires screeched nonstop, basically behaving like dragsters instead of normal EV sedans.

    Now they accelerate smoothly, brake realistically, and feel like proper Tesla RWD / Dual-Motor versions.
    I don’t know if that “counts” as full progress yet, but i belive it’s something.

    I’ve also been trying to create a realistic Tesla color palette in the info.json, but for some reason the whole car itself never show up on the menu, still figuring that part out.

    Honestly, if you’re not here to actually contribute or add something useful to the thread, then maybe just… don’t comment. Seriously. Just read, scroll past, whatever, but don’t start yapping and wasting everyone’s time.

    I’ll try. Can’t promise anything yet, but if I can get the basics working first, I’ll look into career support later.

    I would already download this! I'm really tired of the shitty handling the original mod has.
