Before V9, I've been dealing with Bluetooth since all I really needed was a shuffle option which did not exist prior to V9. I didn't see anyone talk about shuffle as a new feature in V9 so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it on my update today. But yes, sound quality will be better from...

They were.

Had my car since July but I just decided to wait until 2019 to apply for a sticker for a potential extra full year. I go to east bay maybe once a month so if 2023 validation isn't happening for 2019 applications, i'm not losing out too much either way. I do have a question for FastTrak w/o...

Had the car for a month now and it's always used UMC to charge at home from my 14-50 in my garage. Last night, it was charging for about an hour and 5 minutes it looks like. I woke up this morning to find that the charge didn't complete and my phone had a notification that charging was...

Android updated as well. Don't notice anything major but there is now permanent notification that shows that the phone and car are connected and also allow quick access to unlocking the car, frunk and trunk without opening the app.

Good read, thanks for the guide. I've ditched the USB for now. I prefer USB over bluetooth from my phone but I have a weird tendency to want to skip songs around depending on mood. Sometimes I shuffle the whole library and decide from there as I drive. I don't mind doing all the file...

I think you're assuming a bit too much on the loan process. At the end of the day, going through Tesla or finding your own financing isn't that much different. Going through Tesla just means that you're applying to bunch of places that Tesla partners with for loans and they give you the offer...

I took delivery a few weeks ago knowing this was pretty much the only alignment issue. At first, it didn't bother me much but after doing a wash this weekend, the more and more I look at it, it bothers me. I read a lot of alignment stories with service centers and the good 'ol "within spec"...

You can do it as soon as you take delivery. When you take delivery, the staff should give you a paper copy of all the documents you signed during delivery. Most of the paperwork in that package is what you'll need for documentation to submit for CVRP. The CVRP website has a PDF document on...

Wow, this sucks. I too have a white 18 Aero in Sac. Just curious where (assuming in Sac) was this? Also which shop are you using?

Mine arrived today from PartCatalog. These things are much more rigid and sturdy than I thought once installed. I'll sort of miss the softer mat that came stock but these definitely look like they can handle pretty much anything and won't move around. Color me impressed.

I had a good experience with FPCU. They took a copy of a signed MVPA that Tesla's finance dept had me sign digitally via Docusign. This was at least 5 days before delivery date.

I prefer using my USB stick mostly because I'm particular about my music. My gripe with that system is that there isn't much functionality. Everytime I leave the car and come back, it tries to play bluetooth media from my phone (which has none). I have to manually select USB, and a song...
