    Supercharger - McDermitt, NV

    I drove through on the 14th and no changes. I stopped briefly to top off at the shell charger, just used the credit card reader. As it turned out, my car would have made it to my home without charging, but it was nice having a little bit of insurance. I will be driving this route again next week...

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    I was traveling back from Reno to Idaho and had an awful experience with phantom braking. Between Fernely and Winnemucca I experienced over 40 PB events. I stopped using AP and TACC was just as bad. I finally gave up and noticed things got much better when the sun was going down. I opened a...

    a/c musty smell back again

    I have gone well over a year with no musty smell. I am going to swap out filters again in September and use the same process when cleaning. I used a vinegar solution (it stunk for a week), then used a Starsan which is a sanitizer. Neither are made for cars. I came across the vinegar idea by...

    Recent Model 3 tint job

    You are correct it was $550 for my wife's Model 3 and he does a ton of Models 3s. It was probably one of the best tint jobs I have seen in a long time. I also used Dylan from Paint Protection Concepts. I just had the front bumper fascia wrapped and I am very happy with the work.

    Recent Model 3 tint job

    My first Model 3 I took mine to Concord Auto stereo, wouldn't do a single sheet for the back window (this is when 3s were newer). When we bought a second 3, my wife called for a quote, they told her $1400 when I paid 800 I think. We ended up taking her car to Rocky Mountain Window Tint in...

    Thinking about becoming a two-Tesla family but have some Q's

    We have a LR and a MR. My key card works on both cars, same with hers. As far as charging is concerned, we only have 30 amp outlet and the other is 15 amp. Whatever car needs the most charge gets the 30 amp. Typically it is my car and its never been an issue. There is a splitter I thought...

    To Supercharge or Not.....

    Save the Supercharger for traveling, besides an incredible waste of time it keeps the spots open for travelers. On a recent road trip, I used a Supercharger at 6:30am that was completely full of locals putting on make up and on their laptops, others dressed in scrubs to go to work at the nearby...

    I can't locate a very annoying rattle.

    That is what happened with my seats, the first time I lowered them the rattle developed. The felt tape took care of this issue and the rattle is gone.

    Is anyone else unhappy with the way this forum has been re-organized?

    I haven't been stopping by as often and when I do it is for a couple of minutes then I am done for the day. It may take me a few more days to come back. For me, its a mess.

    I can't locate a very annoying rattle.

    My rear seats rattled when latched, I covered the metal in felt tape and that fixed the issue. I also had an annoying plastic sounding rattle coming from my door panel. It took some time but discovered it was coming from the interior handle where it attaches to the door panel. I put some...

    Driving Down I-5 - Seeking temporary solution for protection again rock chips

    I just completed a round trip from SF Bay Area to Anaheim. Believe it or not the debris on the road wasn't that bad this time around. The wind was unbelievable strong. A car in front of me hit a massive tumbleweed which threw it right at my car. I was thankful for the ppf on the front of my car...

    24 Months of Model 3 - How is Reliability?

    I used distilled white vinegar and Star San to clean my condenser. After cleaning I let the fan run about an hour and the odor faded fairly quickly. It took about a week for the vinegar odor to completely go away but no more mildew smell even after two months of running the A/C. I got the idea...

    considering buying a Model 3 SR+ but have no home charging and only 120V at work; have come concerns

    I have a 30 amp circuit at my house for home charging which I was using exclusive. Then my employer decided to start charging everyone a fee to park. Since I have to pay for parking I exclusively charge at work on a 120 volt outlet. I commute 30 miles day, mostly uphill on the way in and...

    Delivery issue? Protrusion / bump behind rear bumper cover

    Make an appointment through the app at the service center or just show up. They will take care of it. That is what I did for an issue. My problem was resolved in a couple of days.

    Any logical sense in order fulfillment?

    I know there isn't much to communicate but everyone is correct some status would be nice, e.g. your vehicle is estimated to be made on xx/xx/xxxx date, your car has been made. I will trade communication over the dealership experience any day. Even with knowing people and not having to haggle on...

    Any logical sense in order fulfillment?

    Has anyone ever ordered a car from another manufacturer? It takes months to get that vehicle. I can't remember all the different factors, but I know it isn't based on when the dealer "orders" the car. When ordered, the dealer (my dad was the general manager) quoted me 4-6 months. The car arrived...

    No more outage anxiety

    Was it a pain to have Tesla add additional panels to the existing system? I had my solar system sized for 1 model 3, not two of them. I now own two model 3's and would prefer to have my solar system resized. I looked at adding a powerwall but Tesla stated I needed to spend an additional 15k to...

    Mrs caused paint damage to rear bumper

    11 issues on new car - Tesla SC quotes almost $700 to fix 7 of them?

    I worked at a dealer in the early 90s; all dealers do this. The work has to be quoted just in case you caused the damage. I remember people getting angry when they got the estimate. It was always covered. I had some warranty issues with another car three years ago, the same thing. I received a...

    Phantom braking is the biggest issue with AutoPilot.

    I took a trip to Hearst Castle then down to L.A. on the 101. The phantom breaking events around long swooping turns in the roadway drove me nuts. There were so many phantom breaking events I finally disabled AP. I experienced the same thing with TACC. I was driving 70 in a 65. Typically I drive...

    Will I be happy with Slacker?

    I subscribed to Slacker for a while, and I believe the library was a bit deeper, and you can listen to full albums. I stopped subscribing to Slacker months ago. I just recently took a road trip, and we started hearing the same songs after a few hours, which was frustrating. The library with...

    MASTER THREAD: Tesla Insurance Services in California

    I just re-quoted Tesla after their algorithm update. Tesla is 363 more a year for similar coverage for two model 3s with AAA. A much better improvement from yesterday but still cheaper through a traditional company. I at least have a good option if my rates go up.

    So, How's That Tesla Insurance Going?

    Just quoted the insurance for me, more than double what I am paying for the same coverage with AAA. I will pass.

    Model 3 - Resale value

    I have been around the dealership business most of my life. It typically takes 3 years for one to "break-even" on the purchase of a new car.

    improved phone key reliability on 2019.24.4 (maybe)

    I have noticed a better response with my iPhone 7. The previous version I was on; I would sometimes have to unlock the phone to unlock the car — no clue why that worked, but it did. Over the last year, my experience with using the phone as a key has been great. I love not having a FOB with me.

    Can my Dashcam get me out of this speeding ticket?

    In California all roads require them, tickets can still be handed out. However, if surveys are not done or out of date the ticket can be thrown out by a judge.

    Can my Dashcam get me out of this speeding ticket?

    About your best defense is to find out when the last speed survey was done (if I recall they must be performed yearly). In California it must be done in an unmarked car by a non-sworn individual. If the average speed is 35 then the speed can be set to 35 but a city engineer can overide based on...
