By the way, anyone know how long (particularly in our wildly changeable climate) these de-chrome wraps 'stick' ? I've never been all that keen on them, but the 'black out' is kind of cool... and now that I've seen a hairline 1/2" scratch in the roof rail chrome, I'm thinking it needs...

The fellow with Omaha Auto Tint said he's been doing halfway up the back window in Tesla's to the point where the glass tint itself transitions... went with that, and it looks great.

For anyone interested, we just got our car tinted at Auto Glass Tint (88th and L) for a paltry $200. This guy has been around forever, seems like I spent barely less than that when I had my brand new 1987 Buick Grand National tinted, over 30 years ago. Quality job.

I replicated this by opening the car via mobile app.. but no BT connection occurred on the phone. It was stuck in a 'connecting' state. I was able to fix by either using key card or disabling/re-enabling mobile BT.

Faster than I expected.. I would guess 50+. I saw them starting off from Lewis and Clark Landing on a morning news show, found a telemetry site with their positions, had to hustle up north as they were making their way up to and across Highway 36 pretty fast. They've come a long way from the...

Caught a participant in the American Solar Challenge west of Omaha. One of the chase vehicles of another team actually pulled over, backed up. I thought they were going to suggest I was too close to the road. Instead they ask if I'd like a pamphlet (all about the event.. started in Omaha, covers...

Cool! and just saw you ate at Leed's Diner after your pick-up. I probably already relayed here... my wife and I ate there BEFORE we picked ours up. Congratulations on the car, looked great! I had two other prior Model 3 sightings, but neither driver saw me. So, were you able to get in on...

I saw a black Model 3 this evening turning into the Oak Hills area around 120th and Q. The driver appeared to see me as well. Anyone here? Still had in-transits on it.

I still cannot believe that 300 EV's in OPPD service area, number. A couple weeks ago, I found myself at an intersection at 132nd and West Dodge. There were 2 Model S's and myself, all staring at one another. So, I guess you could say we were the "1%". :) Both the S owners were checking me...

I'd go out, but my wife has car :( I'd have to bring my beater Prius (and avatar 2002 is all torn apart). My wife loves it out there, maybe we go Sunday.

Wow, I didn't realize La Vista was another 1/2% over Omaha/elsewhere (I 'only' paid $3570 in sales tax). Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised to see they based it on the base price... never paid attention to that before. So latest charger stop... Capitol Street garage... 2 Chargepoint chargers, 2...

Unless there are a lot more Model 3 people waiting in Omaha than it seems, it's hard to imagine seeing 15-20% increase in EV ownership over the next few months (as crazy as only 300 EV's seems). That's what it would take to burn through the seemingly paltry 50 grants available. There are...

Knock on (real) wood... car hasn't shown any issues since my wife lost power brakes/steering Friday. Another owner said he experienced same... then nothing since (several months), although when in for other service, they replaced a sensor purportedly responsible for this behavior. In other...

So, my wife sent me a text... said while she was at lunch, the power steering and brakes failed while she was driving, a message on the display saying as much. I believe I've heard this mentioned on a facebook page, but can't seem to find a thread here whereby Model 3 owner(s) experienced it...

Tier 1 applies while cars are charging at or below 60 kW and tier 2 applies while cars are charging above 60 kW. Tier 1 is half the cost of tier 2. Tier 1 also applies anytime your vehicle is sharing Supercharger power with another car. Credit card is attached to Tesla account when registered...
