I find my bladder doesn't last as long as the charge of the car. I really try to time charging stops with bio breaks.

8 cents per KwH is a really good rate. I only pay 10 so my ROI would be slightly faster. That isn't the main reason for wanting solar, it's the backup power when the grid is out. Alas, I move every two years with the military so I'll have to wait. Wasn't willing to spend the money on solar and...

If you live in LA, like your profile states, it doesn't make any sense to charge the car using the powerwall. If I'm not mistaken, you have super off peak rates which you could use to charge the car. Use the energy stored in your power wall to supplement your home usage during peak rate times...

Save your money. The SR+ will not benefit from the extra power time wise. IMO, it's not worth the money for any other Tesla unless you drive ALLOT and require the slightly faster charging.

Already installed a NEMA 14-50 for my M3 DIY. Going to add another to the other side of the garage for the wife's MY. Panel is 200A service and the house doesn't have any large electrical loads except the dryer. Living in WA means most homes don't have AC including mine. Last install cost less...

Did they do a good job? What tint did you get and what did it set you back? I'd like to get both my M3 and new MY done.

Once my wife drove my M3, she wanted a Y. Sold her mini back in April and now we wait. The Y will be much nicer with the dog and people in the back.

Max amp draw is 15 amps. Assuming it's between 12-13 amps while running (156 watts or so), no real decrease in range. Speed and wind are the two biggest things. With that, if your comfortable, you can experiment staying behind a semi and watch the estimated range climb. On a clean road, and...

I also like to use plugshare to look are what is around the SC. I try to time my stops with bio breaks. Having driven cross country, I think you will find charging a non issue. I always look around on plug share for other charging solutions in case of an emergency or charging opportunities if...

Wife is really excited. To think two years ago, she could care less about cars. Once she got to drive my M3, she had to have one. Sold off her Mini (I was glad to get rid of it) back in April so she will be without her own car for almost a year. I know, first world problems.

Just for grins built a custom order for a Y just like our existing order. EDD now shows April. We ordered 8 days ago with a EDD of March! What other car company has that big of a backlog? Crazy.

The display shows what the BMS thinks your pack capacity is. Well, displayed in miles. The problem is, over time there is drift in pack voltages. I've read the BMS doesn't actually balance the pack below 90% charge. Attached is the data from my car, a 2019 M3. Essentially the same as pack as the...

Not sure the 4680 cells will come to the 3 and Y for a while. I may be wrong.

Ordered 20 Sep. EDD is March of 22.

It would be really easy for Tesla to have a setting you could select to allow the lights to come on with wipers. I'd like to have that again.

Pulled the trigger on the MYLR for the wife. EDD's went from Feb to March in a week's time. Trying to time it while I'm in port. Would like both of us to pick up.

EDD for a MYLR on Tesla's site now says Feb.

Just configured a MYLR, white on black, on the site and the EDD is now showing Feb.

Keeping an eye on delivery estimates. Currently planning on ordering in Dec. As long as we get the car before July of 22 we can wait as I'm paying off my M3 (keeping that wife gets the new Y).

From my cross country move, I planned stays at hotels in the same general area as the SC. I would typically get up before the family, head out and charge, before they were even ready to go. Once hotel had the SC in the parking lot. Didn't have access to any destination chargers for the reasons...

Just installed 2020.24.6.1 The first thing I did was check the box to disable auto-lock at home. Didn't move the car, it's parked in my garage. Got out of the car, took a few steps, and it locked.... Not sure if you have to drive it away from home and come back after the update.

2019 LR AWD 18 Aero without covers 22,600 as of this morning. Charged to 80% most of the time. Daily use gets it down to about 59%. Charged to 100% 7 times. Range @ 100% charge is now 271. The range dropped the first time from 308 to 297 Dec 24th when I installed 2019.40.2.1. Range...

Blueballs Wife hates it.

It can be done but the furunk hardly opens at all. Meaning you have to get your fingers under it to lift it up. I had the spring installed before the struts came yesterday.

Picked mine up on the 4th, April build, and it came with a 14-50.

It still pops the hood but doesn't come up hardly at all. So much so you would not notice it is unlatched.

Works like a champ. Here is the link for the springs. Less than 4 bucks. Everbilt 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. and 11/32 in. x 1-7/8 in. Zinc-Plated Extension Spring (4-pack)-16086 - The Home Depot

I just matched it with the one he linked. Making dinner currently. I’ll go out and install after and provide feedback and the stock number etc.

I tried to order via his link but they are out of stock. I’m headed to my local HD. I think they have one. I’ll let everyone know if it works.

So what was the fix then? I've had my car for five days not and am considering making an appt to get it fixed. It's a 2.5 hour drive to the SC so I'd have to take the day off work.

Understand about the crown in the road. This isn't it. If you drive on a flat road, and place the wheel straight, the car goes to the left. When they built the car the wheel should be straight and the mechanicial alignment set to that. If you really want to do it right you put weight in the...

My M3 steering wheel is clocked ever so slightly to the right when driving on a flat straight road. My SC is over two hours away. I just picked the car up on Sat so it seems they didn't have the steering wheel straight when they did the alignment/assembly at the factory. It's really bothering me...

4/19 build VIN 361447 Verified with my SC that my car has HW3. Initial software version was 10.7.2 but was updated to 12.1.2 last night. I've been reading that HW3 cars are running different software than 2.5 cars. Not sure which to believe.

Just picked the car up on Sat. Updated to 12.1.2 last night. Verified I have HW3 at the SC. I don't see the option to turn off the required verification of lane change when using NOAP.

After reading posts on this thread I ordered from Amazon. 8% isn't worth the trouble.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I just picked the car up Saturday. It's fantastic so far. I noticed that it seems my software is several versions behind. When can I expect an update? I'm missing some of the features I should have with FSD.

Delivery experience in one word....FANTASTIC! Our delivery specialists, Mandy at the Gleen Allen SC in VA, "gets it". Our Tesla story is perhaps more unique than most given the reservation was made by my wife's late Grandfather who loved all things tech. The process, in total, took about an...

Just an update. Called the service center yesterday and was able to change my delivery to today. It took them a bit to get back to me as they had to check and make sure the car was ready to go. So far the experience has been good. I'll be departing for Richmond in about an hour. I'll update...

I just so happened to log onto my Tesla account and noticed I have a VIN and delivery date. No email from Tesla. Is this normal? The delivery date is on a Tuesday which doesn't work for me or my family as the service center is two hours away. I assume I can reschedule for the weekend? Just odd...

Ordered 30 Apr. Reservation holder since Apr of 16 not that it matters. Blue AWD with FSD and 18's. Let's see how long I wait.

Not posting about the wait as I know about that. My question is about paying for the car. I financed through my FCU and will have a blank check ready tomorrow. I assume when I pick the car up I just write it out for the balance?

I believe Elon sent a tweet saying they pushed the price increase until 10 May.

Seems most every inventory car has a white interior. I also wish there was a way to look nationwide vise 200 miles.

Wanted to follow up on the thread I started for the archives. In short, Tesla took care of me and transferred the reservation into my name. Correspondence was straight forward and my emails were answered quickly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'm sure Tesla looks at every...

Jon, Wow, didn't expect a response this quickly given how busy Tesla is today. Let me know what correspondence you require via PM. We can discuss further off-line.

Thanks everyone. There is no specific guidance in his will about the reservation. He left everything to my mother in law who is the executor of his estate. We are early in this process and the family is still grieving. I just want to find out what needs to be done our our end for Tesla to...

We don't want a refund, we would just like the reservation to be changed into my name.

Whenever is fine with me. It could be a year from now, or three. The wishes of him, and the family, is for me to have the car that he really wanted.
