Thanks, that helps a lot! BTW, what about route 20 thag goes between Fort Bragg and Willits, is that also a good route for Tesla?

Need some help from the community planning a trip from SF bay area (east bay) all the way up to Fort Bragg (near Mendocino). Would like to drive the M3 LR AWD if possible, but the lack of charging stations is making me reconsider taking the minivan instead. Would like people's opinion on this...

cool, works again, thanks!

weird, I thought I got it working for a while, but now it just says "Build Date null" for all the cars, did I break something?

whoa, didn't even know about column selector, that's pretty cool, thanks!

I know MCU2 comes on cars after March 2018, but how can I determine that from Tesla used website or ev-cpo?

If I put down the 3rd row seats, will I be able to transport either a 55-inch or 65-inch tv in box? box dimensions: 55-inch tv - 55"x34"x6" 65-inch tv - 64"x38"x7"

sounds good. so we have to satisfy both the days and mileage right? as in, if after 30 days, I've only driven 800 miles, I need to drive another 200 more before I have satisfied the requirement?

Thank you so much, that helped tremendously!

Thanks, actually that is indeed what I was trying to do, just trying to get an idea of "how much money have I lost out of pocket if I were to sell the car today". I didn't realize using the word "depreciation" would have different meanings and metrics to other people, so I can certainly...

Ok that makes sense. My MVPA was 61700, so that was the value I was using for comparison purposes. But we can calculate it your way too. To be fair though, if we want to account for tax credits and rebates, we need to include the sales tax too to get the real out the door price. so it should...

On a whim, I was trying to calculate the depreciation of my excellent condition, December 2018, Blue M3 LR AWD 18" EAP white interior with 14k miles, via offers from Vroom, Carvana, and Shift, and it comes out to be about 12k/year. My compare method is the offers from those websites vs. the...

Forgot to ask, is sales tax charged on top of the quotes? And also, can you explain the 30 day / 1000 miles waiting period?

Ok thanks. And that would qualify for the $100 referral discount, right?

For CA buyers, what does it mean that I can only buy the coverage from a local dealer/rep? Does it mean I need to buy the car from them as well?

Whoa! Did not know this existed! Edit: doh, seems like in California only a dealer can sell this coverage, which means I would be limited to buying the car from same dealer as well.

Was saving up to get a used X directly from Tesla, but with the recent reduction of warranty to only 1 year and removal of pictures, I am considering buying from Carvana or some other third party. But of course, only problem is I can't buy extended warranty through those channels. Does anyone...

Yikes, that would be bad!

I keep reading about this Hansshow power liftgate for Model 3, but it seems like too much work to install for me, where can I get it professionally installed around Fremont (or somewhere in the area)?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does panel upgrade really cost that much? I am considering adding solar and/or powerwall but I only have an 100A panel, so I am worried that if a panel upgrade is needed and really costs that much, I will be over budget.

Actually that brings up a good point. If I go to the Tesla website and get a quote for solar glass roof, the estimated federal credit they show me is not based on the entire quoted price. It seems to be based on a percentage of the price, which they estimate is the amount of roof that actually...

I currently have a 25+ year old wood shake roof that is not solar friendly. Everyone I have talked to says in order to install solar I would need to get a new roof first. So I started to research if the roof replacement would qualify for the federal tax credit since it is required as part of the...

thanks, super useful and exactly what I was looking for!

For those on PG&E in California with solar, which plans can you choose from? I am getting different information depending on where I look. On PG&E solar calculator, at the end of the survey it says you must select from one of the time of use plans: E-TOU-B or E-TOU-C. Both are 4-9pm peak...

Oh man, it happened! Pictures for historical purposes:

Minor update: Since the transponder wasn't getting detected while mounted vertically, I tried rotating it 90 degrees so that now it was horizontal, but still in the same location to the right of the camera. It appears to have worked, since I was not charged the one time I drove 237E while it was...

Is your orientation vertical or horizontal? Possible to post a picture?

Great data point, thanks!

weird, I did not think of that. I just figured as long as it was facing out it's ok. Maybe I should try horizontal...

Whoa, stickers? No we have not heard of those up here. The candy bar transponders are needed because there is a switch to select how many people is in the car. Not sure how to do that with stickers?

Bay Area, California. Recently had to get the new CAV fastrak transponders so I can drive in 237 HOV lane. Currently have it mounted like this: based on their mounting instructions: FasTrak But 3 days in a row it was not detected, so they used my license plate instead and charged me full...

whoa, been using this site since 2016 and never realized you can do this. thanks!

Main reason for avoiding private party is I need the CPO warranty from Tesla. My first Tesla was a 2012 CPO MS and that was in the shop pretty much every couple of months. Can't imagine what the repair costs would have been if I hadn't gotten it from the factory.

Right now used MX on tesla.com starts at around 55k and goes up from there. I am waiting for the day when they will be listed under 50k. When do you guys think that will happen? Later this year? Next year? Never? I would think that as the higher mileage and older ones come to market, prices...

I did not realize this was something you could do, namely, to inform insurance companies of your upgrades and have it documented. Is it a common thing?

How will this be accounted for in KBB or other guides? If your car gets totaled, how do you get the insurance company to pay you the extra 2k that doesn't show up in their value estimates?

You are correct, I somehow remembered the wrong date. So I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath for this phantom influx? Was hoping to see them for under 50k but maybe that is just a pipe dream for now...

When should I start expecting the influx of off lease MX to start appearing on the CPO site? The MX started being sold the 4th quarter of 2016, so leases should be ending around now, but I don't see much change on the CPO site...

What if someone "accidentally" leaves the switch on the CAV tag at 2 people so they don't get charged? How will they enforce that? Asking for a friend.

I'm been considering a Pacifica Hybrid ever since they were announced. What are your impressions of it aside from the vacuum issue?

Wow, that's a pricey bit! Thanks...

That's a good point, I didn't think of the taking off part. How did you ream it?

Why are you selling it? Don't you still need it for your M3?

you mention that although the tesla stud is 14mm and genesis is 12mm, you did not need to ream the holes. so how tight is it exactly? it's hard to tell from the pictures, but can you still put it on easily, or do you have to push and wiggle and spend some time working it in?

Did it still fit before you reemed it? Or would it not fit at all? Some people said even if you don't reem, it will still fit but will be tight. Just trying to get some confirmation.

Modern Spare has a spare tire kit: 2017-2019 Tesla Model 3 Complete Kit - Carrying Case Included - Modern Spare that includes a "3000 LB TruLift Ratcheting Scissor Jack With Rubber Contact Point". Has anyone actually used one of these jacks on an M3, and does it work well? Specifically, are...

The situation is so bad I actually saw this yesterday: Doubt the note will work though. If anything it might piss off the thief and make him want to break your glass even more!

OP update: I referred myself and someone else, and ended up with 15k miles!

I don't think the sticker matters. What matters is what you actually paid for on your MVPA.

They are finally pushing out the SW to downgrade SR+ to SR:
