I drove my Model 3 SR+ from Houston, TX to Tucson, AZ along I-10 over Thanksgiving 2019 without any range problems. Going towards Tucson there was a pretty heavy rainstorm, so that probably negatively impacted our efficiency but I ended up having to slow down due to such poor visibility during...

Yep, I cancelled an order earlier this week after I had the VIN assigned and was less than a week from delivery. The $2,500 deposit was fully refunded by credit card within 4 days, even though they say it may take up to 6 weeks. (I am in the process of re-ordering.)

If you want to make a change that might cause a fee, you always have the option to cancel the order without any penalty. Then you can make a new order with the options you want. Of course your delivery date gets reset with a new order, but if you were about to make a significant change then that...

Can you determine your manufacturing date (and whether your have the FSD computer in the glovebox)?

Mine also just started saying 4/23 to Austin, TX with no VIN yet.

Yep, I ordered about a month ago but hadn't been assigned a VIN or anything yet.

I just got off a very quick phone call with sales and simply requested that they update the pricing on my SR order. Within the hour, my total dropped $3700. Autopilot is indeed included in the base $35k price now, and the price for my paint selection went down $500. Interestingly, my order had...

Did anyone else get a letter from TxTag about them deactivating older license plate tags (effective May 12, 2017) and requesting you to contact them for a replacement? I've called them 3 different times and have been promised that a supervisor would be shipping a new one, but still I've never...

I've carried a kayak on my Model S on the Whispbars without kayak saddles nor J-cradle. For the front anchor, I lashed a strap into the frunk latch mechanism and closed the latch on it. For the rear anchor, I also lashed another strap into the trunk latch. There are a couple of pictures in this...

Here are some pictures that I took of the new Service Center on last Saturday, probably just a few days after the signage was installed. I looked around but didn't see any electrical conduits that would indicate they might be intending to install superchargers.

Since I haven't seen too much discussion about actually carrying a kayak on the roof rack, I thought I'd share a picture of me doing so... I have a Wilderness Systems Pamlico 100 kayak (10 foot, 42 lbs) on a Whispbar, without any saddles or other rack attachments. I used one long strap that...

Here is a photo that was posted by another user to the Houston Tesla Club group on Facebook showing the flooding at the Columbus, TX supercharger... This is the same location that is used as the featured background image at the top of Supercharger | Tesla Motors Fortunately, it looks like they...

Can you get a better/longer antenna installed to allow it to get a 3G signal? Perhaps just a long wire running to the outside with an antenna on the end?

There are 12V splitting adapters available to let you plug more than one thing into a single cigarette lighter outlet. Search Amazon or eBay and you'll find lots.
