    Tesla Gen 3 Wall Charger for sale

    I have an extra Gen 3 charger (18 ft cord). It is new in the box, unopened, never broke the the tape. Ordered several months ahead of the car with the intent of installing at our cabin and decided not to. $430 shipped from SC. (That's South Carolina, not Service Center :))

    How to Add Gen 3 Wall Connector to Wi-Fi?

    Out of the box it will pull current for a 60 amp circuit. I used mine the 1st night without setup and tripped our 50A breaker. Initially fooled me because the current draw was 48A. Must've tried for more later on during the night.

    Bubbles in glass roof?

    So about day 5 since picking up my M3P, I noticed a section of the rear roof that appears to be small bubbles in the glass. I only noticed after the paint polish and 2nd coat ceramic coating so there are only a few and quite small (< pinhead). Two of them are at the surface so technically a pit...

    Tint

    Having the side and rear done right now. I was concerned about the rear blend line but they assured me it stops right at a defrost heater line and I wouldn’t notice it. We’ll see how it goes

    Model 3 or 2?

    Maybe so but I'm not one willing to excuse it, which is part of my point. You seem to be irate that the car company you chose has similar issues to other low volume products. Being from the automotive industry, I can tell you that real production volumes start at 1 million, 3 million being...

    Model 3 or 2?

    I'm not calling it a statistical anomaly, I'm calling it a distorted internet opinion. You'll also recall that this is a Model 3 thread, not a Model S Plaid review so instead of a few discrete data points, you've presented none at all. Before you go lumping me in with the "fan boy" cult, I've...

    Model 3 or 2?

    Quality issues are going to be there but the internet (and forums) distort actual figures. Owners with complaints, both real and imagined, are more motivated to talk about them online. Owners with no issues, like me, seldom make a point of praising something that is taken for granted. Either...

    &^%$% Owner's Manual!

    Same. On a 2021 car with 111 miles on it.

    Done with the waiting room. Picked up this morning, no apparent quality issues. Wow this thing is fast.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    My experience has been zero contact from Tesla unless I made the initiative. They have yet to answer an email, do not return calls, and seem to only be available randomly when I call (made contact twice in 6 weeks). I received a couple of mass communication emails and that's it. Very poor...

    Wife treating 100 miles range as empty

    Make a point of driving a couple of "questionable" trips with her so that you're the one responsible for any incident along the way. Hopefully she'll be convinced by real world experience.

    South Carolina Waiting Room

    Can you confirm this? I had anticipated transferring the plates from my I3 over to the Tesla. I just answered my own question by calling the SCDMV. They have no issue with my registration transfer. Of course I'll put in the disclaimer that I already have a tag for an electric vehicle and I did...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    Same. Met my SA on the phone Monday after I received a VIN and called in. He went ahead and scheduled my delivery date anticipating last off the train/truck, etc with the expectation that it will move up if things happen more quickly.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    Got a VIN this morning so it seems to be tracking with the stated lead time. June 23 order date. I’ll update the order tracking spreadsheet in hopes that someday it will have enough data points to be relevant.

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    And not terrible German for being in the south. I learned my German in the Black Forest region and many northern Germans prefer to speak English or French down south just because they have such a hard time with the southern dialect.

    How many will look into the F-150 Lightning?

    We reserved one. The Cyber Truck's appearance was just not to my spouse's liking, plus the power the house feature (that we need once every 5 years), and a lockable front trunk in addition to a truck bed is what sold it. I never imagined some people didn't buy trucks because of no trunk (I did...

    "Why should I pay for your gas? I'm not paying for anyone else's gas"

    That's how we got our figure with my i3. Real world experience for my daily 28 mile commute is that we didn't even notice a change to the power bill.

    A sincere effort from a hater to adapt to living in a world with Teslas

    Misplaced angst. I think Elon can be a bit of a douche sometimes. Some CA people can generally be perceived as general douches. My spouse and I were once referred to as "the South Carolina people" on a cruise by a California couple after using their disco voices to let us know they had driven...

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    Probably not. I expect most people make their first entry, get a VIN/all excited at the same time and never go back to complete the rest of the data. Teslas don’t exactly get modified like my 69 Impala… Not a lot to talk about after delivery.

    No Homelink, No Problem

    That's the best answer. I just noticed the other day the myQ app works with the native Tesla software (Eve?) so problem solved.

    Porsche Taycan

    I love the way a BMW drives but will never buy an ICE version again. Too many mechanical failures. All under warranty: My E46 had failed cam and crank sensors at 8000 miles, M6 blew a turbo oil line around 17000 miles, Mini S actually had no issues, Mini S Works (engine by M sport group) had a...

    Went with the later model MyQ hub. It'll all work out somehow.

    No Homelink, No Problem

    Unfortunately the two garage doors with myQ are not the ones I’ll be parking behind. The garage attached to the house still has rf only doors. I guess it’s either upgrade the car or the garage door opener.

    No Homelink, No Problem

    I searched on threads but this one isn't jumping out at me and I see the homelink accessory.... My $60k car does not come with an integrated garage door opener?
