    Paint Protection Film Raleigh,NC

    +1 for TVP. They did an amazing job on my X. They've done a ton of model 3's.

    I have the 20" stock contisilents. My front tires are due to be replaced but they lasted almost 36k miles. The back tires got replaced about 20k miles ago due to a screw in the sidewall but they are at like 6/32 after 16k miles. This is on a 90D.

    Electrician in Raleigh/Cary for 240v outlet?

    I paid $1200 for the run and whole house surge protector. That being said it was that much because the panel in my garage was too full to put in an 50 amp circuit and they had to run it from the service drop and it was almost 200 feet under the house (of course the service is on the complete...

    My MX in car accident while in transit by Tesla rep after repair

    She said she had a bad experience once so insisted to use my insurance. Not much you can do in that situation I mean my kid did the damage to her car so I was on the hook. There was also no police report in my situation too. This was in Milpitas, CA when I still lived there by the way so...

    Is Model X's efficiency really this bad?

This is on a X90D with 20" stock wheels. I had myself and the 2 kids (young adults really) in the car with me and it was...

    Triangle area (NC) detailers & aftermarket audio

    If you're looking for a wrap TVP Auto is the place to go. The tesla store in Raleigh also recommends them. I used them to wrap the front end of my X and you can't even tell that it is wrapped they did such a phenomenal job.

    Low Battery Supercharging - 0 Kw and 90 minute charge time

    I charged on a trip over Thanksgiving week in Strathsburg, PA at 2:30am and it was ~9 degrees F. I arrived at 3% battery and the charge took almost 2 hours to get us to the next stop. It was originally supposed to be a 1 hour stop. I think it was a temperature issue because before we could...
