    Aftermarket 18" tires

    My OEM tires are worn out almost to the point of baldness after 15,000 miles. The Tesla service center quoted me $1375 to replace them with the same model (which is, frankly, ridiculous, it's almost double the price and half the mileage, relative to what I normally get out of tires - and I had...

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA (Qualcomm / Pacific Heights Blvd., 12 V2 stalls)

    By the way, if they aren't billing anyone for charging, they may not be able to bill people for hogging the spot when they are done...

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA (Qualcomm / Pacific Heights Blvd., 12 V2 stalls)

    I don't think there's much danger of that. Even when it's not completely full (which it seems to be most of the time), the only places within walking distance which aren't overpriced coffee-shops, are open after 3 pm, have more than 3 stars on Yelp, and have an A inspection grade, are the...

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA (Qualcomm / Pacific Heights Blvd., 12 V2 stalls)

    Used it to top up today. No line as of 5 pm. It does not look like I got billed for the electricity, and there was no mention of paying at any point in process, which is puzzling (I have a Model 3). Maybe Qualcomm eats the bill? (Shh, don't tell anyone.) Local amenities information on the...

    California VINs: are you still waiting?

    They only began building white/aero 92xx's in mid-March, and were still giving out VINs from that block on 3/21: VIN Colors So they are not too far out of order. Your 92xx may at this point be a week old, @RSavage 's 76xx may have been manufactured as late as March 12, and the 1184x mentioned...

    Should I be worried

    The reason you have Feb-Apr has to be employee priority. I don't think we have anyone here who could comment on what is going on with employee reservations, since employees seem to be discouraged/prohibited from participating in online discussions. I may be wrong though. The general feeling was...

    VIN Colors

    According to my chart, they may be doing relatively long runs of each color, spanning multiple batches of VINs. The highest Black/Aero VIN reported before 3/20 was 67xx. To get from there to 113xx, they only had to build about 200 Black/Aero (there are at most 100 in the 83xx-84xx block and...

    VIN Colors

    Approximate dates each batch went into production (first reported VIN assignment): 5-Feb for White/Sport is a bit suspicious, because it is an outlier (no other White/Sport before 13-Feb) The ones in italics in the last two column are imputed (or maybe skipped). E.g. there are reports of...

    Service panel upgrade

    This was a good suggestion, but it turns out that all my breakers are tandem already :confused: Called the utility again on Monday, left them a voicemail, they promised to call back within 24 hours. Which they didn't, of course. At this point, I think I'll just go through existing breakers...

    California VINs: are you still waiting?

    Spent some time staring at the spreadsheet (again...) and shamelessly extrapolating from a small number of data points It seems to add up to this: * San Diego got a shipment or a series of shipments of pearl/19" (I'm guesstimating 60-80 cars) starting some time in the last few days (first...

    California VINs: are you still waiting?

    I got the VIN on the 16th, paid up on the 19th, now all that remains is for the payment to clear and for me to get the keys. Still no word as to the delivery date and no calls from anyone. Configured same day as @montreid, same config (blue 18"), he got his VIN on the 19th, but my VIN is higher...

    VIN Assignment

    A few people reported here and at M3OC that they are scheduled to take delivery at the new location this week. I just drove past it this evening, there is some activity, though nowhere near what you'd expect given the number of invites they apparently sent to San Diego day 1 line waiters. Even...

    Service panel upgrade

    That's one drawback of having hard-science education! It never even occurred to me that the maximum load on the panel can be anything other than the maximum current that can be drawn by all breakers in the panel. However, now that you've pointed this out, I found a PDF called "NEC Standard...
