    nevermind- I got a response from them and they did deduct the $2000.

    New Jersey EV Rebate?

    Picking up a Model 3 in Lawrenceville tomorrow. Has anyone picked up from there in the past few days? Account still did not give the $2000 from ChargeUpNJ. Placed order on 17th so I would guess the rebate should be active.

    My driving range was only 58% of estimated, and 37% for climate control

    Just wanted to try not using any climate control to see what kind of results I would get. I thought the many short trips would be an issue, and wanted to get some data points. Reality set in and I left my seat heater on the lowest setting. Anyway, on my latest 2.4 mile drive I used 1.5 miles...

    My driving range was only 58% of estimated, and 37% for climate control

    I'll try it with the heat off and see what kind of results I get. I do use the seat warmers, but will turn those off too.

    My driving range was only 58% of estimated, and 37% for climate control

    It was generally short trips, 5-10 miles at a time, but probably only over 2-3 days. Still, this is what I usually do in slightly warmer weather too. It is a 2018 pre-heat pump model 3. I took a long trip the previous weekend about 110 miles each way and realized I wasn't going to make it...

    My driving range was only 58% of estimated, and 37% for climate control

    So with these new energy graphs I saw how horrible my range has been lately. Of 150 miles of range used, only 87.3 miles or 58% was used towards driving and 56 miles worth or 37% towards climate control. From everything I have read this seems really atypical. Is there anyone else out there...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    My display screen says LTE on it. After scheduling my appointment with the service center (which was bumped out a month), they told me that since my screen says LTE I do not need to get the 3G modem replacement. My guess is that it must have been replaced when my eMMC was replaced.

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    Has anyone experienced a drop off in service yet because of this. I did not notice anything on a short drive this morning. I did have the eMMC replaced on recall, but it sounds like the eMMC would not include the LTE modem upgrade. Is it possible that ATT did not discontinue service yet even...

    Nice to have...wish list...Tesla design please read thx

    What I wish every car would have, but would be easier to implement on a Tesla with controls on screen would be the ability to add auxiliary controls with customizable "buttons" on screen. Maybe an electrical panel where you could connect devices and then define a new screen control for them...

    4680 cell implications

    I think this chart shows that while a tabless battery charges much faster than a battery with a tab, doesn't it also show that a larger diameter battery takes LONGER to charge. This difference is greatly minimized because it is tabless, but it is still a longer amount of time. The bigger...

    $7000 US Fed Tax Credit for Cybertruck!

    I'm not an accountant, but the section 177 or 179 accelerated depreciation is phasing out. You won't be able to depreciate 100% of it immediately the way you could before. I think the current limit for vehicles is maybe $11,000. This law has changed a number of times recently, so it could be...

    "Better than people realize"

    Just realized I compared vs the 911 Carrera S and not the base Carrera. Still, the base Carrera does 0-60 in 3.8 to 4 Seconds depending on where I look it up. The dual motor speed is still understated, but not by nearly as much as my previous post which I can't seem to edit.

    "Better than people realize"

    At the reveal Elon said when the Cybertruck beat the Porsche 911 in the quarter mile, that the truck on stage was the actual truck. The truck on stage was a 2 motor, not even the 3 motor. According to Car and Driver, the 911 Carrera S does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds...

    Maxpider 3D trunk mat

    I purchased the maxpider 3D trunk mat from partcatalog. 3D MAXpider Kagu Rubber Floor Mats I don't know if they have a model X version. If I were buying today the Taptes mats look very similar for a lower price, but I have never seen in person. I haven't really kept up with it since I...

    How about a plastic sub-trunk liner/carrier?
