+1 Fwiw I’ve driven past that spot every day for the past 2+ years, and maybe weekly for many many years. I recall the mangled attenuator before the Model X crash, and the lines on the road were literally non existent. Almost immediately after the Model X crash the attenuator was fixed...

A couple months ago I shut the rear passenger door and something went rattling down inside the door like a pinball machine. Then over the past few weeks while driving on the highway I’ve noticed a rattle from that area of the car. There are a couple plugs on the bottom of door so I got a...

Fwiw.. I’ve been using the HP also for about a year now, especially during the summer. I don’t put it on if the car is dirty. I mainly use it overnight. (During the day I park the car in an underground garage at work.) Putting the cover on (and taking it off) is relatively straightforward— I...

After reading this: https://jalopnik.com/low-profile-tires-are-ruining-modern-cars-1836309462 ....I want to: 1) report every pothole I see. 2) replace the stock 20s with decent 19s or 18s. But, I’d like to keep the performance so all seasons will probably not be the choice. I noticed...

Phew. Definitely return it. It’s too bad there wasn’t full disclosure on the origin of the car. (Who are they hiring, and do they have some sort of delivery quota?) Have you returned it already?

I see the OP purchased the adapter. Sounds good. For these kind of ideas one should call an electrician. We also know nothing about the age of the house, wiring, etc. which would contribute to the decision on upgrading a circuit. Btw, if the outlet was replaced with a 14-50, then when...

Iirc when I got the P3D it wasn’t on the list at the time. (P3D was too new) Still got the CA rebate and HOV stickers. (Don’t have edison power here.) I think the eligibility list is only updated every 6 mos or so. (The CA govt website should explain this.)

Anyone go to the “P3D spoiler install” event in San Mateo, CA (at the Tesla office) on Saturday 4/20? I’m wondering how the experience was. (I do the install on that date.) Thx

Question: For folks with the static vinyl (or similar "remove and restick" approach) .... a) Does the material actually adhere at speed, in weather (rain) etc? b) How many times can these things be removed and re-applied? 10 times? Or 100s of times? Does the material become "less sticky"...

Yep. Am in sfbayarea and got a check for 5450 last week. Wasn’t expecting tax, but that makes sense. FWIW I believe we are still out a bit when it comes to registration and insurance (probly depends) but oh well.

I learned how to use the manual wiper settings to go to “always wipe no delay” when there is enough rain to justify it. Yeah.. would be nice if the sensing was a tad bit more aggressive. But a higher priority imo is sentry mode and an in-cabin manual drunk release.

More info needed. 3 & X are so different. What do you plan to use the car for? Commuting? Ski Trips to the Mountains? Hauling kids and hockey gear? Do you plan to drive in snow regularly? Then u might not want the 3 perf pkg since the tires aren’t rated for cold weather. I have a P3D+...

I note that this car doesn’t have the new rear license plate mount. The demo car we drove in August 2018 had the spoiler and badging, fwiw. Am a bit surprised this demo car is not Red tho.

I might, but probly don’t. They came from OSH which has since shutdown. I was in an ACE, and they seem to have a big selection of such parts. Here’s a before and after pic of the fix...

Fwiw (I think I mentioned this before) I replaced the plastic bits with replacements from the hardware store and also added rubber washers to (ideally) keep the plate off the metal by a few millimeters. I’m using (zinc?) machine screws. Not the nicest look but works. I’ve been meaning to...
