19 miles away with 7% SOC, not going to risk it

Yeah I’m sure Corning works well at off-peak times, but that does not mean it’s also fine on holiday weekends. Because everyone is charging at 50-60 kW, the Corning location has less ability to absorb a sudden spike of drivers arriving, compared to a fully functioning V3 station. This is also...

This location is still not doing very well. On Saturday morning in memorial day traffic, there was a ~30-60 minute wait and a broken stall (1B), while the nav reported 2 open stalls and no wait. Everyone on the V2 stalls was getting ~110kW for a few minutes before it dropped to ~50kW. It is...

Heads up the L2 and Urban (72 kW) chargers are not working currently. They appear to have lost power after the parking lot flooded a few weeks ago.

All the dispensers have been in the ground for some time now. I believe the dispensers have power because the latching mechanism works. However charging is disabled. Cabinets are still covered and there are work trucks throughout the site.

No changes since the previous post. There is an empty concrete pad next to the transformer. Anyone know what that might be for?

What do you mean by "non mapped fsd" — is this running fsd without a navigation route?

Can you post a photo of the parking spot? Since you are using tape, it's easy to experiment with different line patterns. For example, other shapes like a rectangle, or marking the adjacent parking spots even if you do not plan to use autopark on them. Hope you can find a line pattern that...

Did you mean your Model 3 has no radar? Afaict, they haven’t actually delivered any non-USS vehicles to customers yet.

Maybe you can install a dryer buddy, which would eliminate human error by not allowing them to be run simultaneously...

could you post this video too? just to satisfy my curiosity :)

Mine triggers on the LED flicker from neighbors’ Christmas lights

Castro Valley supercharger was removed from the recent "Find Us" map update :'( However, they also added a 2nd Hayward charger for Q2 2021: Find Us | Tesla

Another thing to consider is some people are willing to pay a premium to have the car right away (rather than wait weeks/months to get it from Tesla) Also list price is not necessarily the selling price. The buyer might negotiate a lower price and these sites would not know.

Still here as of 12:02 am lol. Maybe there is a grace period.

Mazda CX-9 has two rear radars, which is the usual way RCTA is implemented. https://owners-manual.mazda.com/gen/en/cx-9/cx-9_8gc7ee17g.pdf Even if computer vision is very good (100% reliable depth estimates) back up cameras may not have enough resolution/field of view to detect stuff at the...

IMO the charging fees are accurate, the main source of error would be ABRP’s ability to estimate your consumption. I would suggest making sure the weather and driving speed are set realistically.

Maybe they know exactly what they’re doing and just wanted a convenient parking spot :mad:

Tires are tires, Tesla buys them from the same companies as everyone else. If you need winter tires in your area for your current car, you’ll likely need them on a Tesla or any other new car as well.

I agree, I was hoping the bank would realize there is nothing to repossess should OP default on the loan. Maybe they would suggest a situation where OP could stop paying, eg bank asks Tesla to refund the money.

Also, it’s not worth legal action at this point. Imo you still have plenty you can do by escalating the issue with the bank and Tesla, preferably in writing and showing that you are collecting a paper trail. (At many companies, customer service is trained to ignore ppl who threaten to sue - they...

Have you explained the situation to the bank? Jeff has a good point, I would emphasize that you don’t know the VIN anymore. It aligns your interests and the bank’s interests. They might be able to suggest a way to stop the payments if that is a concern, eg Tesla refunds the order and bank...

just an educated guess - Two cars in the garage at the beginning, the “new design” car is clearly a model Y. Channel’s other videos show a recent Y delivery but not 3. The narrator never actually says that he’s showing the new frunk design on a model 3.

In case anyone else runs across this frunk comparison on YouTube. It’s fake - the car in the back is a model Y.

Anyway, the chademo adapter is probably not worth it given that the trip would still take way longer than driving in a gasser

Just to satisfy my curiosity I did the same route with chademo allowed. There is a Francis Energy station not too far off 40 which saves only 1h17m compared to a detour to the Lowell, AR supercharger. (It would have saved more, except the chademo adapter is soooo slow, which eats up some of the...

What if they match you with an inventory car during their end-of-quarter/year push? :eek:

How many Y’s do you think they have sold so far? If we assume 15k/mo, which seems to be roughly the average of model 3 sales: 15k units * 4 months = 60k units even if literally every other vehicle has no leak (assume all leaks are reported on this forum), we have still observed at least 1 in...

I believe this won't happen as long as the DC to DC (HV to 12V) is still working. It will automatically charge the 12V from the traction battery. It sounds like OP has a problem with the dc input part of the PCS or supercharger location.

the way OP told the story (“owner for 24 mins”) made me laugh, it’s good they have added a bit of sarcasm/humor to a disappointing experience

Are we sure it's the motor? In model 3, front motor rarely receives power apart from heavy acceleration or slippery conditions.

If you park your car near your house (within strong Bluetooth signal of the phone), a thief will be able to unlock by just pulling the handle. They would even be able to drive away.

+1 to this, it could also be poor sealing. Check that all the rubber pieces are seated properly etc.

Is it possible to record the sound?

Just curious - how many miles / trips on the dirt road did it take to accumulate the dust shown in your video?

Some issues can’t be explained by environment regulations, for example dust in paint or new cars delivered with micro-scratches

why not use the warranty now, in case the service center has a fix. If it falls out after the warranty ends you could always glue it then :)

At least stolen car recovery rates are much higher than other types of property Recovery rate of stolen property in the U.S. in 2018, by type | Statista

Even if they have access to the previous owner’s complaints, the sales rep has no incentive to tell you. I would treat the condition of the car as a wildcard and act accordingly.

$2800 really isn’t that much of a discount for a slightly used luxury car with potential issues. Ex: car fax says “Our data shows that cars can lose more than 10 percent of their value during the first month after you drive off the lot” Car Depreciation: How Much Value Will a New Car Lose? |...

The downsides of adopting new cell models early is they tend to cost more & the bugs aren’t worked out yet. With 5G specifically, there’s not much upside as others have pointed out in this thread. So I think it makes sense to pick the older part.

Went back to find the VINs. White one is roughly 3,000 and gray is 400. (VINs rounded to the nearest hundred) Also here are some more images of a May delivery that I spotted at a public charger. The VIN is approx 4800 which is higher than the other two. It seems like rear hatch alignment...

Haha, would've been worth it :) Sadly I wasn't smart enough to take those down :'(

The Ugly Disclaimer: this one had a manufacturer plate. I'm guessing / hoping it is a pre-production vehicle. The weird part about this car is that the trunk looks okay on the passenger side. But it's installed lopsided, so the driver's side doesn't seal all the way. Could almost fit my finger...

The Bad This car mostly looked good, but on closer inspection there is a huuuge gap on the trunk. Also, the chrome delete seems to make window trim misalignment harder to notice.

re attaching missing images

Like many people these days, my only interaction with the outside world is a daily walk/run. I've seen a few Model Y's delivered in the neighborhood and will be using this thread to share some photos and thoughts. The Good This car had the best exterior of the three. Although the hatch is...

It isn’t related to the number of events though. The cameras and computer are processing images continuously even when nothing happens.

Thanks drewski. As it turns out, I am also near 20th & Missouri (by the elementary school).

Hi all, I am considering a Model 3, but I don't have a garage. Does anyone live near Potrero Hill and park their Tesla on the street long-term? Are the dents, window smashings, etc inevitable? Thanks!
