    Tesla certified body shop recommendations in the DC/Maryland area?

    Total Recon on Lofstrand Lane is fantastic! Best body shop I’ve ever used. Authorized Tesla body shop and far superior to others in the area. 5***** rating. Brought my car to Kenwood in early February for estimate. Seven months later still haven’t contacted me. Took it to Recon last month—got...

    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    OK, I too am a senior, cruising along in my ninth decade, and I love my M3. You don’t have to do things the way you describe. Want to open the glove box, use voice command and say “Open the glove box.” BINGO! Want a quick window clean, press the button on the end of the steering wheel stalk...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    My vin is 118xxx; I inquired about a service appointment for the upgrade last week using the app and got scheduled for installation tomorrow. I checked back to confirm the appointment and ask how long the installation would take. They reconfirmed and said it could, in some cases, take up to 8...

    Can't decide on a color

    I love my MCRed. LOVE IT! However, scraped the left bumper on a parking lot concrete stop and got about a two inch scrape that went through the paint. Not is a highly visible place, but still. Lowest estimate for repair is $975.00. The multi-colors are a lot more expensive to repair than...

    Maryland Excise Tax Rebate

    I sent an email with just my name and the date of purchase (late November 2018) and asked about status of rebate. Got an email back very quickly telling me I was listed as of November 29th and that I should get my rebate by late September this year.

    AP/FSD sale ends March 18th

    Actually, it's only a 50% increase after the 18th, so you only have to sell 1and a half kidneys.

    It's actually here! And in perfect condition!

    After some crazy delivery problems--the car that was supposed to be delivered had an air bag sensor problem, so Tesla decided not to deliver that car and notified me that they were delivering another car with the same configuration. Needed to change my insurance re the new VIN#. When car was...

    Charging from a generator, 2 red blinks

    I have a 20K whole house generator. Was told not to add the Tesla to the generator, and that it must be on a separate circuit. As I understand it, it has something to do with fluctuating voltage from the generator and potential damage to the Tesla battery. In the event of a power outage, the...

    Thanks--just got another message that they'll get back to me when they get a firm date from their logistics team. Looking forward to it!

    Anyone got a delivery text??

    Me too. Got same message at 11:59 EST. Called service center and they said they are getting substantial deliveries daily, apparently in an effort to deliver as many as possible in the 3rd quarter. Will give me a VIN as soon as they match an incoming car with my configuration. Dual Motor, AWD...
