    Windshield Wiper Fluid and Recommendation

    My tesla service center told me they use tablets and add water. Don't know what kind but it didn't freeze at prolonged 20F weather. To be on the safe side i used mercedes winter blend but its not cheap.

    Discussion : All discussion regarding Model 3 and Tax credit in model 3 subforum

    I am considering a new 3LR and saw the possibility of getting the credit applied to last years tax? Seems to be written on the tesla website. I will file 2022 tax return so this could really work out for me buying from existing inventory. Anyone checked to see if this is possible or would I...

    2013 Model S won't boot up or drive after parked overnight

    I feel your pain, and even for an older S this is not very common. Tesla has learned a lot since the early adaptors like yourself and I am extremally happy with my M3. Are you going to go back to ICE in stead of replacing the battery? My co-worker waited 11 months to get his Y last month. Now...

    Towed away in 20 seconds damage to front breaks?

    Parked in "potential new client parking" at my friends apartment at night for a couple of hours and was towed. No tow-away sighs were in view and my friend told me to park there. 2 hours later it was towed, $550 to get my car back, missed the tow away by 10 minutes. Its a 2021 Std range + and...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Be patient, I think it will happen sooner than that. I'm seeing many cars being delivered and on the tesla lots here. Usually the lots are empty after the end of the quarter, so I think they are still making NA cars at Freemont and china is making them for the rest of the world. I got a call out...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Picked mine up today, blk, 19in. whells, ordered way back in feb. but kept delaying delivery until now. Couldn't find a single flaw yet. Only issue is the app won't see my key card so I have to use the card to open the doors and start it. Rainy day so I had original carpet floor mats with...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    You're lucky to have gotten so much seat time, I never had the pleasure. My cousin owned a saturn dealership in S cal. and could have gotten me 1 but the $499 lease was too expensive for me. I loved reading all the stories about it and especially the charge across America.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Ordered SR+ blk 19in last feb. now scheduled to pick it on Tuesday. Originally had to delay original delivery date in march as carb tax credits ran out 2 weeks before i was suppose to take delivery. They were trying to acquire more funding by the summer and I qualified for 11k, so I delayed...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    A month ago but 2 weeks ago they told me they have the tax transcripts to process it. Were you able to get the full 5k and increased CVRP of 2.5k?

    Delivered Today....Questions and Observations

    Yes the SAE J1772 Charging Adapter makes it possible to use a CCS L2 charging station. Many business have these for employees if it non tesla. charger. I know it is included with long range and y versions, I just wasn't sure about SR+
