    Any insights to how these mats fit?

    Tesla Solar vs ....[third party competitors]

    I went with a local installer that I vetted heavily after finding on EnergySage. I only got one quote from the site weirdly and it was high, $3/w vs what Tesla and 8M Solar (whom I used) gave $2.12/w. It wasn't a beauty contest install but it is clean and works. I also have a single inverter, so...

    How to tell if I’m getting PW2 or PW+ based on the model number?

    Holy smokes Batman 4x PWs and 16.4 kW solar, NICE! You must be crushing some kWhs out there! I sure hope you have good TOU rates and can arbitrage some money out of those PWs. NC may change their rate structure so I dialed back my plans in March right before my system went in, really annoyed.

    Hang in there you are very close I bet you get a VIN tomorrow or Tuesday.

    Thanks for the data points toady911! I plan to do most online and am about to drop my trade-in as the value they are offering is $4-6k below market value on KBB.

    Your post is making me consider a color change but the wife is against it and I don't want my EDD to get pushed way out.

    Congrats, how was the pickup at Raleigh, any pointers? I am looking at late July now... but want to be prepared. Did you use a loan, cash, cashier's check etc?

    Does anyone have these Basenor mats? Has anyone heard any bad or good data on them? https://www.basenor.com/products/tesla-model-3-3d-floor-mat-floor-liners

    I had started to heavily research and refine my accessories and then...I got an EDD update today, now I am just pissed. Don't forget a screen protector unless you really don't want one.

    Mismanaged - The Problem With Government-Funded EV Chargers (TMC Podcast Clip)

    Yep, it is a supply and integration problem, not a math problem. Installing utility batteries to help with this now, again supply issues, integration etc. are slowing things down. It is happening though, we have to keep deploying and solving the following problem.

    Did you pick it up here at Glenwood? How was the pickup process, that is where I will be picking up? Anything to know ahead of time, I have been there for a test drive before.

    Tesla battery research group: new high-energy-density battery that could last 100 years

    New battery tech will make the jump happen, it just may take time to get the cost down to the level of LFP or NMC batteries. Then again if the leap forward in density is large enough it may offset some of the cost. We could see smaller battery packs required for a longer range, but only a slight...

    Ok, I have seen this several times now. What are you guys talking about when you say "source code" are you looking at something specific?
  18. EdgeM3LR

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    From what I have seen I would wait until you have a 2 week EDD then apply, this will give you more time. VIN to pick up can be a fairly short time period, 2-5 days. Less stress if you knock out the paperwork early, rates are likely locked in for 45 or 60 days depending on the bank, maybe you get...

    Supercharger Shock!

    Utility guy here, yes it is more expensive to demand and consume MWhs than the trickle kWhs your house could demand and consume. Utility bills at a commercial site have both demand charges (maximum power needed to support your needs over a 5 min period typically) and usage charges (how much...

    That is weird I have the same config and no push on mine, also in NC. Raliegh pickup. I am trading in and have cash covering the rest...for now going to do financing once I am in a 1-month window. Are you picking up in Charolette or Raliegh, financing, trade-in?

    Beautiful car! Sometimes I wish I had a Red, then I see a Blue and I want that, then MSM and I want that. These cars are just amazing! Looking forward to getting mine a few months.

    Being on the East Coast hurts sometimes, ordered after me and EDD before me, becoming the West Coast standard.

    Got a VIN! But can't take the car quite yet - do I have options?

    True, CA is just a massive state I forget sometimes

    Got a VIN! But can't take the car quite yet - do I have options?

    I was told once you put yours on hold, ie. reject delivery, they will pass that vin to the next in line according to their algorithms. So SilverSp33d3r you may have a shot if you ordered a similar config.

    Financing quotes are good for 60 days I believe. I plan to apply when I am a month out, so mid-June. I too am close to Raleigh, have you made any plans for PPF, ceramic, or tinting? Just trying to poll the crowd on what people in our area typically do.

    How long are the financing approvals for? 60 days? Just wondering so I can time mine, I currently have it set to cash but I want to try and lock in a rate when able EDD is July - Aug so I am a way out.

    Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?

    My wife's Audi Q7 looked very similar after someone got too excited behind her and rammed her while she was at a dead stop. They totaled it, it only had 20k miles and was 2 yrs old, same story initial appraisal was $17k min car at the time worth around $39k. Once they opened it up they totaled...

    My EDD was pushed 2 months right, Sep to Dec, no dates attached just months. If I use the first of the month that is an additional 92 days at a minimum from my original EDD. It looks like everyone got slapped with a delay, I guess I need to start buying accessories also to keep the dream alive.

    I was counting on that charger, this is a bummer. Not only did I place my order 2 weeks too late ($3500 more), but now I will have to buy a UMC in addition. I like the car, I hate the service already.

    That is awesome that they set you up with an overnight demo. I signed up for a test drive 3 weeks ago and was told that they only had MY available for the test drive. I went ahead and did the test drive yesterday and it was awesome! The MY has poor rearward visibility IMO, but I liked the...

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    It seems the MAXpider, TESLA (all WX when in stock), Abstract Ocean, and TAPTES are the leaders for all WX floor mats. Did I miss any, after reading all the comments there does not seem to be a consensus on which are the best for all WX situations? I also found Road Comforts floor mats on...

    I want to like this but can't since I am too new, thanks for the insight. What I really learned is I got the wrong kind of job lol, 15+ yrs experience and not making anywhere close to 500k. More power to those engineers though, I can not create a neural net or any other AI system, I barely...

    In the Raleigh area, using 8M Solar (they may not operate that far West). They had the next best prices next to Tesla among the 8 companies I contacted. Tesla did not have the customer service interaction I needed for the solar and Powerwall. More than happy to buy a car from them though on the...

    Backing out of tesla trade in

    Oreobbq, are you saying you are paying taxes when selling your car privately or to a dealer? Maybe that is a state issue, in NC only required if it is worth more than you paid for it. Or are you saying Tesla gives you some sort of tax break? I am assuming your state tax laws are different than...
