Nice looking car, but like AWDtsla said, if they aren't JWL/TUV certified for the Tesla's weight, it may not be strong enough for the car. .

Where could they possibly put 10 stalls at Buttonwillow?? There's NOTHING there!! Last time I was there, it as Summer and a car hit a power line pole and the whole town was dark for almost the entire night. Imagine if something like that happened and you were planning on charging there!! .

It really depends on how much time you have. If claying is pretty fast, but polishing can take a while. Once you've polished, you just stripped off any wax/sealant you have on the car, and now you HAVE to put some sealant/wax on (or both if you're really OCD).

For the mods, why is it this response kept, but all the others cut out? Doesn't seem like you're trying to diffuse the situation then. As for the "joke," I totally missed it since the emoji looks more like a :/ to me than a wink, if that's what you meant. Maybe the emoji's need an update. .

Appreciate the info!! .

Too bad they couldn't figure out the front of the seat gets cold too. In some Tesla board room: "lets be an innovator, and not warm the front half of the seat. NO ONE ELSE DOES THAT!!" .

Not sure what your point is, but do you really think Recaro just makes a seat and Tesla just takes whatever Recaro gives them? There is NO WAY IN HELL, Tesla didn't specify EXACTLY what they wanted in that seat. Another example is Brembo brakes. Do you really think they're all made to the same...

Credit goes to musicous here: Infrared Camera view of Winter Package (Seat/Steering Wheel/Windshield Heaters) The seats seem to have a heating element all the way close to the front of the thigh section but I sure don't feel it. The seat bottom is also now nearly as warm as the back. But I'm...

Anyone know why there's a coating on the glass? Why does Tesla have it and other's done? .

Half my butt is still trying to defrost from my drive tonight. The German's definitely do seat warmers better. .

Response from Tesla: Thank you for reaching out to tech support. At this time, there isn’t a way to do this from the app, but I will submit your suggestion to our feature request team. Sincerely, .

Thanks Andyw. Email sent to Tesla. Canuk just keeps wasting bandwidth. .

All these years, and this is still an issue? MY buddy's sunroof almost flew off. It came off the track and wouldn't close, and just kept sliding back while they were driving. His car is a couple years old. .

Inflation. They're over $800 now and out of stock!! Man, I thought Porsche Tax was bad; this Tesla tax is INSANE. .

I wonder if the TSW wheels are TUV certified for the Tesla? It's a good sign they are TUV on at lease some of their wheels. TSW Alloy Wheels announces TÃœV approval I couldn't find any certification info on NICHE wheels, but I believe I read they are JWL certified. .

To have your mirrors adjusted properly, you should NOT be able to see the side of the car. You should need to move your head 2 inches to either side the see the side of the car... if you really want to make sure it's still there. If you have your mirrors like this, there is essentially no blind...

I'm just happy to see I'm not the only one who feels a car at this price point should have this feature. Is there some formal request process to ask Tesla to consider adding this feature to the app, or if possible the keys? Thanks for the feedback from everyone.

I'd like to hear how I'm suppose to get in the car to select my profile when I can't get in under my wife's profile? Again, if there was a button to select profile on the door or at the seat, like other premium cars, I could just push that and this thread wouldn't exist. I don't mind doing that...

Anyone else pick up their car with the $2,000 incentive? They took $1,000 off the price of the car, but for the other $1,000, the took it off the doc fees. Is it really $1,200 for doc fees normally??? That seems like a LOT. .

Like I used to do with my Acura 20 years ago??? Really??? WEAK SAUCE HERE... :sigh: Absolutely. So what's your point?? :sigh: again. Actually, I close the lid when I'm done. It's actually her car most of the time, but she'd prefer I drive when we go out together. It's PATHETIC how the Tesla...

The delivery guy said the driver profile is not key specific? Why is that a big deal? I'm 6'4" and my wife is 5'6" How am I suppose to get in the seat after opening the door? I've got the app on iOS and don't see anything there. My Honda minivan has profile specific keys!! I hope I'm missing...

TOTALLY AGREE. The "Tesla Tax" is up there with the "Porsche tax" and WAY more than "BMW tax" and even more than "//M tax" for BMW M cars. Is this a serious statement? Or are you clowning?? SAE standards is better than nothing, but JWL or TUV testing/certification is the gold standard for...

What's this coating for on the windshield? Is it for heat reflection? .

Self leveling isn't only on high end cars. It's even on Honda's with HID. They work great. You don't even notice they're working. The light is just pointed where it's suppose to be pointed. I'm actually shocked cars can have HID and not have self leveling. You must have driven cars with...

You'd have to get the tire specs to be able to determine how much sidewall you'd have. Shouldn't you have 2 sets of tires in MA? .

That is true for now, but keep in mind VW also owns Audi, Prosche, Bently and they have a ton of money, despite some SERIOUS fines/lawsuits that will come soon. I could easily see VW producing a pretty vast network for all their brands to use. It's just a matter of time when they decide to get...

I guess the other question is, how "full" does one charge when using an SC. I would imagine charging to 80% wouldn't be that bad, but going to 90+% might cause some (slight) damage. .

The only extra maintenance that a BMW owner should consider is an extra oil change between the ridiculously long 15,000 interval. Having said that, many people have done an oil analysis after 15,000 miles and the oil is pretty much done, but no damage done to the engine. My buddy has a 2004 M3...

I still didn't pay anything when I went it. BMW's are comparably priced to competitors, but they don't offer "free" maintenance. Tesla charging $600 for essentially an inspection is RIDICULOUS. Most dealers are more than happy to do a FREE inspection so they can find stuff wrong with your car...

BMW M5. ZERO Maintenance cost for 4 years or 50,000 miles. Similar cost, but MUCH better lease rate too. ;) I think the OP just wants to know what EXACTLY do you get for that $600 inspection?? There are those out there who actually can do simple work on our cars... even $70-120,000 cars. .

Did they have to repair anything? There's no way it really took them that long to do an annual inspection on a car. It takes a good mechanic maybe 45 minutes to inspect a car to clear it for running on a track, and that includes the time to get it up on a lift and getting it off the lift. .

Can anyone specify what exactly is done during these annual services?? And what happens if you don't do them? I guess part of that question depends on the first question. Dealers always have theses huge service plans and most are nothing more than inspections. At least with ICE, you get an oil...

Where in LA are you? My plug was next to my main box and it was only around $350.

Does anyone have the sizes of the speakers for the standard system? .

I'm new here. Why would the car drop the amp while charging? And why would setting it at 38amp prevent it from happening? Thanks.

Anyone have any insight on battery degradation charging at 32A vs. 50-100A? I've read here Supercharging often will damage the battery, but haven't seen anything regarding low or high home charging effects on the battery? .

Plastidip can take that kind of heat? Granted the brakes really don't get much of a work-out if the driver is going for efficiency but the calipers will still get pretty hot. .

Thank you. Someone here who's not fixated on 0-60 times. It's more about traction than anything else. Many here seem to think nothing else happens after 60mph. .

Good point. OP's question was regarding a different situation where he'll be picking up the wheel and jack from home and bringing it to his car. I'd definitely stiff prefer a floor jack for that. .

Thanks bud. Me and my buddy used his code. Happy to see you two will get something out of it. .

I'd call AAA if I had a flat. There are WAY too many accidents on people trying to change their tire or just parked on the side of the road. Not worth the danger where I live at least. .

Here's Harbor Freight's Black Friday add. There's a low profile floor jack on the front page- it looks to be steel, so it's going to be heavy but solid. There's a torque wrench and air compressor on the second page. On the third page, there's a simple air compressor hose or a wall mount hose...

Don't waste your time with those scissor jacks. I got an aluminum jack at Costco for around $100 or you can find something at Harbor Freight. You can also get a 1/2" torque wrench there too for around $30 if you're only going to be using it occasionally. The Tire Rack jack is very solid but it's...

It may happen with other cars, but this is a LOT of "knocked out of spec during transportation" compared to other cars. Maybe they should check it before delivery since it's obvious a significant issue. .

Makes Tesla owners look like tools... at least it only affect other Tesla owners. .

So it sounds like the cars are still coming from the factory with crappy alignment. It sucks you have to pay another $100 to get an alignment after picking up the car. As a side note, I try to keep track of inner wear due to camber on my cars, and then flip the tires around on the wheel to...

I maybe up for a trade. I just ordered a car for December delivery with stock 19" wheels. .

That looks great. Did you do the wrap yourself? I also like how the mirror posts, window trim and fender emblem are blacked out.

This thread has two groups of people. One group is fixated on the battery and drive units, and the other group is just interested in doing routine maintenance and simple non battery/drive unit repair. I don't think anyone is interested in bringing the car in for battery/drive unit issue to the...

But it did come with instructions. Just because you're not competent to do the job, doesn't mean someone else isn't capable of doing the job. The instructions should be out there for people to see if they want to change the fluids themselves, or a shop should have the instructions to see if they...
