I've seen the videos of the noise when going between acceleration and regen breaking, but I had never noticed anything like that. Never got a chance to double check though :) Tesla service told me in an email followup that the humming noise is unrelated to the splines and that the failure I...

I had a problem with the rear view mirror not dimming. Tesla service replaced it last year and it has been fine since.

My car had the milling noise. I brought it up months ago and was told the usual "nothing to worry about, just a nuisance, fine to drive, we have a fix for this coming out and will put you on the waiting list." Last week while I was making a turn on a city street, a loud clunk came from the back...

I've had this issue at least twice now. The most recent time, flipping the setting off and on did not correct it. Not sure what might've caused the issue.

I called Tesla last week and they wouldn't give me the password to the slacker account. They said they assign multiple cars to each account and thus couldn't give out the information. That seemed strange and was the first time I'd ever heard of them doing that, but I didn't argue.

This showed up for me today. https://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/blog_attachments/na_tesla_service_plan_agreement_sp.pdf

Picked up the car today. It's awesome! Lots of cars getting prepped for delivery at the Bellevue service center. Only other VIN I caught was 7066. Also the HPWC was on the due bill, but actually arrived last Wednesday.

Allstate was about $1100 for 6 months. So was State Farm. No idea why Progressive is so much lower, but it looks like that's where we'll be headed.

I got quotes from Geico, Progressive, and Farmers for $100k/$300k/$100k with a $500 deductible for comprehensive and collision for both me and my wife. Progressive was cheapest at $109/mo if I pay in full for six months, $121 otherwise. Geico was $141/mo. Farmers wanted $437/mo. Wtf? Four times...

The car showed up in my app this morning. I'd been checking a couple times in the morning and a couple times in the evening for the last few days. I checked at 9am (PDT) and it wasn't there. At 10am it was. Up until then, the app had been telling me that no cars were attached to the account...

Just got a call from my DS with a VIN! 7110 with delivery potentially as early as the 15th.

The delivery button is the link to the survey. I never got an email about the survey being ready to be filled out, but I also filled it out within hours of it becoming available.

Just got the delivery button tonight! Expected delivery Mar. 15th - Mar. 29th. Sequence #18,062 Reserved on 1/7 Invitation to configure on 1/30 Finalized 1/31 Delivery button 2/26 No VIN yet (called to ask just yesterday, app also has nothing) P85, grey, black interior, 19" wheels, pano roof...

I don't think this applies to electric charging stations. At least not form 8911. The form refers to notice 2007-43 for more information which states that the qualified alternative fuel vehicle must have a gas tank propelled by alternative fuel (ethanol, natural gas, compressed natural gas...

Wow, that is super quick! I had a look since our order is very similar and my seq # is a little earlier, but no delivery button for me yet. :( I guess this means it'll happen soon at the very least.
