    Heating the car in the AM.

    I live in the northeast. Growing up my dad always waited till the engine heated up before driving(not sure if this actually makes a difference). I did the same for years... I leave the house 5 mins early to give myself the time to heat the car (waiting for the RPM's to go below 1000). I have...

    Tesla shutoff completely on the highway

    Honestly, I have never read an owners manual for a car before. I guess I have some bedtime reading to look forward to.

    Tesla shutoff completely on the highway

    I wish the service staff told us how to reboot the car and log bugs when they do the walk around. Literally everything I know about this car, came from this forum.

    I was driving from NYC to Boston. Around 7-8 PM last friday (4/12/19) my model 3 - 146XXX - completely shut off (headlights turned off, everything inside the car shut off). There was no warning or any sign. The car went into neutral, there were no cars around me and I was able to pull over...

    Anyone been forced to provide your electric private bills account information?

    We lie in NJ and had the same problem. We went with a private installer and they were able to size up system, but it was alot of back and forth between the electric company and us. Finally the system is online!

    Price comparison of Tesla Solar Panels to others

    I highly recommend making an account and using energy sage. It will give you multiple quotes from local installers. Compare that with tesla and costco Sunrun panels. Briefly, we bought a model 3 (love it) wanted solar panels to go along with it (live in new jersey). Got multiple quotes. Tesla...

There was a small chip on the glass and they promised me that they will replace it with mobile unit. Fast forward 3.5 months later. They called me and told me that I would need to...

    A common mans honest post

    Hi, We took delivery of our family's first Model 3 today. I am a mixed bag of emotions. I wanted to give my honest opinion of Tesla based on my experience. High-Yield at the bottom. PS - I didn't proofread this. I wrote it this at midnight. Is Tesla's customer service its achilles heel? To...

    Spare wall connector?

    Thank you so much! I had a chance to read more into the different chargers (sorry, I got most of my info from the sales person in store). He convinced me I needed to get a wall connector. I think 14-50 plug is my best option. Thanks again for everyones help!
