Yeah, you can see my delivery report from an earlier post. I believe the check should be made out to "Tesla, Inc." and the memo should have your order number in it, RNxxxxxx. I added my full name to the memo as well.

I appreciate both the points and counter-points. Picked my Model Y up on 2/2, and am so far extremely happy with it. Thanks in part to this very thread, that helped make the whole experience that much more special to me! (Though I'll try to keep from straying from topic from now on - I'm...

Actually, my prediction for tomorrow's inspection - the inspector will say my panel is overloaded, and I will need to downsize my 60 amp breaker! 🤣

Yeah, I agree with you (certainly now) - the manual and product is clearly designed to run on smaller breakers with the corresponding appropriate wire sizes. That said, I bet there is at least one inspector out there that would disagree :) (and I would get that inspector).

Oh I know - I put in a 60 amp breaker on 6awg, precisely because I would expect a fail - both because it probably should fail on a 50 amp setup, in my opinion, and because Murphy's law would suggest I would be the unlucky chap should I have gone the 50 amp route.

Very Interesting. My luck and I would get that one overzealous inspector who would fail me because the charger CAN be configured that way. Who knows, I could still fail the inspection on Tuesday 🙃 I will try to remember to ask him if he would pass me in the event I installed 8awg on a 50 amp...

Nice LOL. I thought I might have messed that up. Shows you the extent of my “authority” and “jurisdiction”! And should serve as a stark reminder to take everything you read on the Internet with a grain of salt - myself included! I was doing some reading on the subject about ampacities and...

It's not just that... if you have a 60 amp breaker on the circuit with wire that is only rated at 55 continuous amps, that's asking for a fire, isn't it? And let's say he takes the TWC with him when he moves, and the new owner moves in and says, "Ah, look at this, a 60 amp circuit, perfect for...

This is a long post - skip it if you don't care about how you're going to charge this new car of yours :) First, it will mostly depend on your AHJ - Authoritative Housing Jurisdiction - the local code inspector whether, as to whether it gets passed or not. You should call your town office and...

You have an emergency that is lasting for more than 2 weeks? Yikes, sorry to hear that. Maybe you can have someone else get the car?

Update for a friend who wanted to give hope to others 🙃 : New York (long island) OD: 1/16 but finished registration 1/17 MYLR MSM, no other options EDD2 was Feb 17 - Mar 17 VIN received today, 2/16 PA075xxx EDD updated today to Feb 28 - Mar 6th

I had the same issue- and an open frunk and that was making it pretty hard for me to take delivery no matter how badly I wanted the car. So the SA came out, palms down, hands a bit more than shoulder width apart with fingers pointing outward, then pressed down with not an overly seeming amount...

I believe the cost of ceramic coating is included on top of the PPF install (though I don't think the whole car. That has to be something I can do myself, no? Same... I just washed the X1 yesterday because it was pretty bad from the salt on the roads.... it does a really good job at showing...

Yup. Makes sense about having a seam with white. Mine is gray but still didn't do it. I think 'performance package' with the lower part of the doors and the tailgate sill was like another $600 maybe? I asked about the seam and they said they sort of follow the curve in the body. Either way...

Ha!! I couldn't agree with you more here! It's super annoying! I wish there was a sticky thread here with "trusted" info/accessories, but the link change all the time so maybe not plausible.
