    Removing rental panels

    Don’t bother asking for a buyout quote, I got a quote of $13,500 for a 3.78kW system, which is more than the cost of a new, higher wattage system. Over a month after I requested to cancel they did give me a new offer of $9,000 which I did not accept. I’m not mad about it, I’m sure it is what...

    M3P VS BMW I4 M50

    Only caution I give you is don't expect the software features to be reliable. The software upgradability the car has with Tesla's OTA update history is great, but sometimes I feel like they need to focus on making what the car already does work better. Years later I am still suffering from...

    Model 3 Trunk Button Stopped Working

    I bunched up the silicone tubing as much as I could to see the wiring from both sides, had to cut some electrical tape on the top side to do so (as the wiring harness is taped to the silicone tubing. One of the wires was clearly not as tight as the others so I gently pulled on it and it came...

    Model 3 Trunk Button Stopped Working

    I just had this problem this week with a 2018 Model 3. I installed the power lift gate last year so didn’t want to go through the hassle of removing all the equipment before getting Tesla to look at it, so I fixed it myself. Very easy to find the broken wire (it will likely be broken around...

    RWD LR Order?

    That's lucky, when Tesla reached out to me earlier this month they said they could not honor the FSD pricing on the SR RWD or LR AWD, I would have to pay the new $10,000 price.

    Model Y Long Range Rear Wheel Drive (LR RWD)

    I hold a LR RWD reservation with FSD at $6,000 in CA Bay Area. I was contacted by Tesla this week to see if I wanted to change my reservation, I asked what could be done to compensate for the $4,000 increase in price in FSD since my reservation, with the ideal scenario to me being to move my...

    Group Buy for Power Trunk/Frunk Liftgate!

    I installed the v3 kit this week too. While getting to the tailgate wire under the parcel shelf trim was not fun, it does give the advantage of having the trunk lights work as expected (on when the trunk is open, off when the trunk is closed). I did also have some trouble with the trunk not...

    How long to get registration card - California

    The stickers you are issued are based on when they are issued, not when you register the car. You can buy a used 2014 Model S today and get a sticker valid for 4 years on 1/1/20 so long as it has not been issued HOV stickers before, model year of the car is irrelevant.

    How long to get registration card - California

    Don't apply for your HOV stickers yet, better to wait for the new sticker issued starting 1/1/20, will last an extra year compared to getting stickers before 12/31/19. Current Clean Air Vehicle Decal | California Air Resources Board

    Alternative tires for Long Range RWD Model 3

    I have those on my car - have about 8,000 miles on them. I like them, car handles better than with the MXM4 tires and did not notice any increase in noise.

    I had mine installed two weeks ago. Still waiting on city inspection and then PG&E to give permission to operate.

    Jeda just released a new USB hub. Mounts Flush and hides flash drive

    Got my hub today, really great product, yes overpriced, but looks like it is part of the car and hides my T5 SSD perfectly. Using it with the Jeda v2 charging pad without issue.

    Tesla now RENTS solar panels

    I ordered a rental system with my referral and it shows up as a referral order in my Tesla app. Maybe it won't get credited as a completed order, but so far it looks promising. Should add my timing so far: Ordered - 9/10 Tentative Install Scheduled - 9/20 I ordered the smallest system and was...

    Bay area body shop recommendations? Got rear ended.

    We have a Tesla owned body show on Madbury Rd in San Jose. I would give them a try. They got my front bumper damage repaired in less than 48 hours.

    SDD multiple partitions for music and sentry

    I’ve done it. I have the same SSD split for music and TeslaCam. I used the windows 10 disk management utility to delete all partitions and then manually make both my partitions without formatting (you right click on the unformatted space and click “new simple volume” and choose the size and then...
