    Texas Vehicle Title & Registration Waiver

    Hahahahaha ... I lived and worked in NYC for awhile and then moved out to NJ for a bit. The NJ DMV is the worst! When in Austin, we live downtown so we don't have the hassle of traffic or a commute. The food in Austin is exceptional. I do also find the mix of downtown with all the biking and...

    Texas Vehicle Title & Registration Waiver

    Sorry drdumont. I guess I was not clear about Austin. I was referring to the experience at the Austin tax office, not Austin in general. Overall, we have found Austin an absolutely amazing place to live. It has become one of our favorite places in the US, which is why we bought a place there in...

    Texas Vehicle Title & Registration Waiver

    I believe there are at least a few. We are new to Austin (2019) and spent most of 2020 in our home in another state. I was in town basically to take delivery and get the car registered for Sep. I got the FedEx from Tesla on Sat and had just Mon before our flight on early Tue morning to take care...

    Charging equipment addition at Austin - St Elmo Rd

    Old thread, but now I think it is clear that this is a new Tesla Service Center option for Austin. If you look at scheduling service in the Tesla app starting in July, this location shows up. There is charging in place, but only for Tesla test drive vehicles. When I drove around the building a...

    Austin, TX minor collision repair recommendations?

    I've searched the forums and can't find info/recommendations on collision repair in Austin. Someone hit our parked -- brand new, not even registered -- MYP in a parking lot yesterday. Their is damage to the front bumper, hood and potentially to the fender. Two questions: Tesla Service Center...

    Texas Vehicle Title & Registration Waiver

    Is this waiver still in effect? TL:DR -- I've been told that APD is enforcing and that tax offices are imposing both the 30 day and 60 late fees for taxes. We took delivery of our MYP on Sep 11 and received the FedEx from Tesla 10 days later with the required documents for registration. I...

    Texas Registration/Plates - Lease Model 3 2021

    We received a FedEx packet from Tesla about 10 days after week took delivery. Our delivery was Sep 11th. The packet has everything needed for registration, but getting an appointment at the Austin tax office (no walk ins allowed due to C19) seems impossible. There are zero appointments available...

    Ceramic Coating Recommendations Austin Texas

    I used Sunbusters in Austin for PPF, tint and ceramic. I primarily selected them for the quality of their PPF work, which was outstanding, but I also only wanted to deal with one shop so I used them for the ceramic.

    North Texas waiting room

    Austin is just overwhelmed. There were no appointments all the way through Oct. I checked our temporary tag and it is not double-sided with a later date version on the back. It expires on Oct 4. I requested a temp tag extension through Tesla, but haven’t received it yet. It‘s such a widespread...

    North Texas waiting room

    Where in Texas? Austin tax office was a sh*t show for me with 3.5 hours wasted and no registration/plates at the end of all of the hassle.

    North Texas waiting room

    For us it took 10 days for the FedEx from Tesla to arrive with the required docs for registration. I tried to do the registration on my own through the Austin tax office. The in person registration during Covid is by appointment only here. There are NO appointments available ever. I tried to do...

    North Texas waiting room

    It looks like there is a relatively new approach/option for paying taxes, registering and getting plates that Tesla is using in Texas called The Title Girl. I just received a FedEx from Tesla today with: Register your Tesla info card from the Tesla on how to use The Title Girl to register our...
