    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?

    Wow, I really want that deep one, but not enough to pay that much for it. I did see some other options on Ebay like this one. For Tesla Model 3 2017 - 2019 Car Rear Trunk Storage Box Mat Odorless Durable | eBay If someone buys one, let us know what you think of it.

    Can someone tell me what this sound is?

    is it ok if it is the coolant pumps. Just want to make sure that there isn't something I need to fix as my warranty ends soon.

    Can someone tell me what this sound is?

    Thanks. Good to know. I don't think I have ever heard that sound before, and I am sure I spend more time in the garage than most people.

    Can someone tell me what this sound is?

    Noticed this sound coming from my car last night. Went driving and still made the sound while the car was moving. Continued to make the sound after I parked it again. Is this something I need to be alarmed about? I'd like to bring it in for service before my warranty expires if so. Since...

    anyone use paintless dent repair on their model 3?

    This is my S getting a dent fixed. Its a long video, so you can just look at the beginning and end. $75 is really good. Happy with the work and would recommend. Only thing I didn't like is that he was using some polish to clean the panel for his tools to stick, so I had to wax my car again.

    Got my Taptes dead pedal

    I bought one too. I couldn't be happier with the dead pedal itself. The only thing is that I can't really see it with my Maxpider floor mats.

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    Can I ask you what sales tax rate they charged? Wherever you live in SnoCo or Bellevue? I think Bellevue is at 10.3%, and maybe they add on .3% extra for cars. Maybe I had the RTA issue because I am in unincorporated King Co. It was eventually fixed, but it took a while.

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    I actually checked with my accountant before I received my car and he told me that if I pick it up I would pay RTA and all the Bellevue taxes, but if I had it delivered I would pay my local tax rate, which is lower. Because of that I had them deliver my car, and they still charged me the RTA...
