I put RainX on my windshield about a week ago, and have gone through a couple rains so far. No issue with chattering. In fact, the wipers are smoother than ever. I did not put RainX in the section in front of the front camera though, but I haven't tried the auto wipers since they have been so...

I'm getting MSNBC on Tunein. Up until about a week ago, the picture for it was a generic headphone icon, but sometime since then it's changed to the actual MSNBC logo.

Yes, definitely a big gap. But they fit the spot nicely otherwise.

When your budget is fixed, get the most HARDWARE you can get. LR, AWD. You can't add these things later. EAP and FSD would be what I would give up first. They can always be added later. Surely, you pay a premium over buying when new, but that's the price of having that flexibility. That being...

Funny. I was sitting in my car playing with the interface after my upgrade, and my wipers suddenly started wiping intermittently. No rain or moisture on the windshield at all. Manually had to turn them off.

I think this is a vestige of ICE cars. They have an A/C on/off button because using the A/C was an additional energy drain. But heat was free.

Same here. Figured it was some residue from tape used in either shipping or installation. I don't think they would use tape in a factory installation, so it's either during transit, or my car had a damaged roof and went through re-work (it was manufactured in June, and I didn't get it until...

Topsy. It's the name of the elephant that Edison electrocuted to show how dangerous Tesla's AC delivery was.

For me, it's not so much the sound of the ICE I miss, but the manual transmission. I've been driving manuals for almost 30 years, and never thought I would give them up (as much as it's been harder to find non-economy cars with them.) On the plus side, the trade-in that Tesla offered me for my...

I purchased EAP. I didn't have the trial. I was responding to Sagedaddy's comment that he thought the EAP car he test drove showed cars in the blind spots- it doesn't.

Tesla FedEx'd them to me. It took about 2 weeks to get the (wrong) plates. As a follow-up, after reaching out to the delivery specialist at my local delivery center, they referred it to their DMV team who sent me a pre-paid FedEx envelope to send the incorrect plates back. A few days later, I...

I did the Costco trim to for mats. They are very Decemb for $30

I received my new plates from Tesla today. Unfortunately, they're for someone else. I'm hoping it's just a case of my plates being swapped with this other person and it can be straightened out easily. I've already emailed my delivery center. So, if you live in Manalapan NJ, and are awaiting...

I have EAP, but it does not show cars behind or in blind spots.

As others have said, the fact that so many people (myself included) are plopping down $5k for EAP, they are pricing it right. I fully expect, down the line, we will see promotions where owners will have the option to enable EAP for around $3k. It's a quick way for them to bump up high-margin...
