    Illinois rebate program

    Received my rebate check on March 10th. Non low income applicant, mailed Nov 1st.

    Illinois rebate program

    That would make sense to me, but the site says they are not taking more applications. Unless they already got enough low income applicants…

    Illinois rebate program

    Looks like they reached the application limit as of Nov 13 for the last cycle. Has anyone who’s applied checked their payment status? Nothing showing up on mine so far. https://illinoiscomptroller.gov/vendor-services/vendor-payments-new

    Any updates on this service center?

    Illinois Vanity Plate or NON EV Plates on EV

    My understanding is all EVs now must have an EV plate due to a law passed which increases yearly registration to $250. The reasoning is since EVs don't pay gas tax they should contribute their fair share since the taxes are used to improve roads. Illinois now has No incentives to own an EV which...

    Driver seat sometimes not returning to saved position

    +1 on this. It annoys me so much I did away with my easy entry profile. I need to submit a bug report...

    Leaving UMC Brick on Tire Under Wheel Well When Charging

    Thanks for your comments. Charging last night went well, though decided to reduce the amperage from 12 to 10 due to some fluctuation I was getting in my charge times. It kept bouncing around by an hour back and forth every 15 seconds or so - I assumed because it wasn’t getting a consistent...

    Leaving UMC Brick on Tire Under Wheel Well When Charging

    Couldn't find another thread on this topic (I tried, honest!), so I figured I’d post and get some of your thoughts. I’m currently staying at a hotel with my Model 3, and my only charging solution is a 110V GFCI outlet, unfortunately mounted sideways (I do not feel comfortable letting it hang at...

    Model 3 LR RWD Range Shown at 100% Charge?

    April 2018 Build w/ 2019.16.2, almost 12k miles - Displaying 325 miles @100%. Not sure if this matters, but the vast majority of my charging is done on a 120V outlet in my garage (pack balancing?).

    How come Tesla cannot beat Hyundai's MPGe?

    To me, the Hyundai EV's are quite impressive, and I think even Elon would agree that having more companies offering cars like this is a good thing as it helps accelerate the use of sustainable transport. I think it is also impressive that Hyundai can match or exceed the efficiency of Tesla's...

    Returning Tesla M3 after awful delivery experience

    I’m not singling anyone out, and mean no offense to anyone, including you. I apologize if you were offended. I think your comment is telling though. Why should we be “conditioned” to accept an inferior customer experience? My Tesla is the most I’ve ever spent on a car, and my expectations from...

    Returning Tesla M3 after awful delivery experience

    I am with the OP on this, and think the responses are harsh and unjustified. Regardless of the magnitude of some of these discrepancies, the Tesla sales staff did not seem to have a good explanation for any of these issues, which when doing business with a normal company is a red flag. Couple...

    Owners with No AP - Thoughts/Plans/Speculation on What Happens Next

    As far as 0-60, haven’t measured, but turth is my cars current power is enough for my purposes.

    Owners with No AP - Thoughts/Plans/Speculation on What Happens Next

    I have 2 conflicting thoughts on this situation. 1. I logically understand car prices and options change constantly. For ICE cars, end of year clearance sales happen every year, and never once have I been concerned about this for my previous cars. On the other hand.... 2. As an early adopter...

    Model Y unveiling event 2019-03-14 (official thread)

    I couldn't agree more and had similar thoughts while watching that train wreck. And the reward for watching was to see a large Model 3 with no unique features other than its bigger and had a hatch (which we didn't see during the reveal anyway).
