    Have Tesla insurance, just got DMV letter "Intent to Suspend" for lack of insurance

    Received this notice as well, and couldn’t finish the process online. My insurance docs didn’t have the NAIC so I had to contact Tesla Insurance, in which they promptly regenerated the document and card for me, with the NAIC. The rep told me they’ve been having discussions with the person in...

    2018 EAP people, should we buy FSD for $2000 before next Monday?

    If these past few weeks have taught us anything, there are no guarantees with Tesla. It's been a whirlwind on pricing-- first, the repackaging o AP and FSD, followed by the price cuts, then the significant discounts for those who already had a Tesla but didn't purchase either package, then the...

    Transportation to Pickup New 3

    I remember the night before picking up my TM3-- just painful tossing and turning and watching time slow to a crawl.... enjoy your sleepless night ;)

    Insurance costs?

    When I was shopping around, Geico and Ameriprise (via Costco) had the lowest rates. They didn't seem to add an EV surcharge that so many other insurance companies are doing. USAA and AAA also had competitive rates. Ameriprise recently raised their rates ~18% across the board, so it might be...

    Ordered MR Post Announcement

    As others have already mentioned, if you have any intention of selling the TM3, most buyers are still unaware of Tesla's product lifecycle and how model years don't correlate with enhancements. Because of this, you'll get more resale value on a 2019-branded vehicle. If reselling isn't in your...

    SF Car Break Ins - Where To Park?

    For me, it's: Garages > Large Lots > Street Parking Most garages at the very least have a surveillance system which will deter thieves from attempting to break into your car. Large lots are well-lit and usually have a steady flow of traffic from people looking for parking or leaving the lot...

    Calif. buyers - CVRP rebate running down

    And they are not lying! It took about three to four months to get my check after they received my documents. The processing took 60 days while it took an additional 30-45 days to mail the check.

    I ordered my CA legacy personalized plates back on May 4th

    The approver probably assumed 'MOREKWH' was taken, so using the '3' as an 'E' is against their rules. Did you put in your explanation that the '3' was meant to symbolize the Model 3?

    V9 energy app? Anyone seen any photos?

    No offense, the current card/phone setup is utter *sugar*

    I have a 0% success rate with my iPhone X in my back pocket, and about a 90% success rate with it in my front pocket. I had it fail on me today while my phone was in my hand. It really makes you look stupid when you pull the handle and the car doesn't open. Fortunately, it opened up after the...

    Model 3 feature wish list

    - Google Calendar integration - Default card selection (I like to see my current trip odometer / usage, and HATE that I have to swipe and scroll to it every time I start driving) - Mobile hotspot - Ability to open the frunk without using the app, or climbing into the car and tapping the display...

    Delivery Day Trade In Process

    My experience back in April was very painless. I checked in at the front desk, and they found my appointment. The lady at the front desk noticed I had a trade-in and asked for the keys, registration and title. After handing those over, she went to the car and confirmed the odometer numbers to...

    Dash cam DIY install Model 3

    Bumping this as this thread was tremendously helpful in installing my DR-900S this afternoon. I initially contacted Calibred to do the installation. They quoted $300 for the install (with your own parts) but when I responded with available dates I never heard back. This turned out to be a...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    Yes. Destination fee applies even if you are picking up from Fremont— FWIW, you’re picking up the car from the delivery center and not straight out of the factory, and the fee also includes documents/titling fees, similar to what a dealer would charge.

    When will there be more Model 3 on the road vs Model X?

    It's already more common here in the Bay Area. This past week, there was a white Model 3 driving in the parking lot, and a red and blue one parked within a few spaces away from each other. This excludes my blue one that was parked on the other side of the lot. I don't mind, as it draws less...
