MCU 2

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. While the Roadster will certainly have a following, the Sig Red X is the car I would pick up if only I had space to store it. Some of the most collectable cars are the ones that were so far ahead of their times that they were quirky in the moment...

My X is in for its 2-year/25k miles service. In the notes for the appointment I said "Would also love the HW3 upgrade, but I know they're very limited supply." At drop off the service guy was looking through the notes then said "huh, looks like we were able to get you that HW3 kit for your...

I bought the service contract when I bought the car. It says 12,500 miles or 1 Year. The girl who sold me the plan on day 1 was very clear that you can't come in at 12,501 and expect service so I made sure to get scheduled. A couple days before my appointment I get cryptic text message saying...

Got the update as well (from 2018.50.7 IIRC). Anyone else notice Autosteer doing a much better job on curvy roads? I have two sections of hilly curves on my commute and although it's a bit scary, the car made it up/down without freaking out.

So if we're adding to the rumor mill, go pay attention to the very last Q&A on the now infamous "35k Model 3" call... Elon: "Will there be autopilot upgrades? umm. uhhh.yea umm uhh The only upgrade that's sort of happening in realtime is the HW3 autopilot computer -- but this is essentially...

I picked up a silver “Tesla Energy” for my daughter this weekend. Nick

Just saw this on mine a couple days ago - seemed to be a glitch that resolved on its own. Hmm...

I love the 22's and it doesn't hurt that they get a lot of complements. One thing I wish I would have known is that they tend to show up in the for sale forums from time to time at a significant discount. They're often received as a referral award and people either don't want or don't need...

Can definitely be done - here's mine w/ PhotoSync. Even in WA with limited sun and low temps it makes a huge difference to the interior and I rarely use the sunshades anymore.

Tinting with PhotoSync exceeded my expectations. I went from feeling like cooling was "just ok", to rarely setting the cabin below 70 even on 90+ days. I'm sure other high-end films perform similarly. Nick

Seattle Tax + Tesla Tax... Besides if you're talking to NWAS and/or Metropolitan you're talking about two of the highest rated shops in the area. At any given time they have millions in customer cars under their care due to their reputations of doing great work. There is a Northwest Tesla...

Check out the initial launch video for the X and they explain they invented a new ultrasonic that works through metal. The same can be seen in patent filings. The “LikeTesla” YouTube channel also got a certified body shop to show the inside of the door including the proximity sensor in the...

Would also be curious to know if it's normal. One theory, could be that they intentionally put less paint on the doors (particularly the FWDs) due to the hidden sensors. We have pretty good evidence that Tesla is cautious against adding any thickness to those doors. Whether that be wraps...

The wildcard here is that we can assume Tesla has surpassed the 200,000th delivery at this point and is going to prioritize US orders more than "usual" in order to maximize the tax credits. By historic trends you would expect any orders after ~June 15th to be delivered in mid-to-late September...
