Suv back into me at 5mpg causing 10k in damages. Incident caught on sentry mode. I was speaking to a Tesla certified repair center and they said State Farm rates are too low and given that, I may be have repair the car and pay the excess amount. There’s a weird noise when I drive over uneven...

Hi all I wanted to ask people’s thoughts and opinions on color matching performance spoiler on the model 3. I haven’t seen any color match g spoilers and when I searched this forum only one post spoke about this with no replies. I had a 350z with a small color matching lip spoiler back in the...

Does anyone know if there will be a sale on the autopilot upgrade for those who bought their mode 3 without autopilot at the time (it wasn’t automatically included back then)? There was a $1000 off sale last year. Damn I should have bought it.

I have a 14-50 installed when I got my tesla capable of charging 32amp two years ago. The other day, I unplugged my extension cord connecting my fitness equipment and my sprinkler and low and behold I think I have a nema 6-20, and its on a 20amp breaker! So I think I can charge my car with...

Are there any issues with charging my laptop from my car? There are usb-c PD chargers available and with 60w and 48w. I'm currently using a 32w usb-c charger and sometimes I charge my laptop when I'm working on the road. But the 32w charger can barely top off my laptop, so I was thinking...

Hi all so my tires after 39k. Miles need to be changed. I’m near the legal limit. Using the Tesla app under service there is an option for tire swap. Has anyone used this before? Will they provide tpms or do I need to buy them? I normally buy my tires online and bring them to the shop but I...

I know I'm going not get a lot of empathy for this and will likely get flamed. You know, Tesla is beating expectations, they are selling cars out the door, they're beating sales estimates and profits, their stock price is through the rough. But something I noticed when I was dropping of my car...

You know when a mobile ranger “fixes” something but instead makes it worst, then tells you to rebook an appointment with the service center lol. That’s my experience this Friday. And to add insult to injury he checks my tire pressure (doesn’t refill it), I get a low pressure warning of my rear...

So I’m in Yellowstone right now and I’m considering renting an ICE car. If the west entrance was open this would not be a problem because the west entrance is able let you reach the north and eastern areas but this option is not possible because #covid19. The west entrance from Idaho is close...

Anyone experience this?? I just started noticing this a few weeks ago. It happens when there a change in direction going from left to right on a twisty road. Super annoying.

Hi everyone I bought my tesla in April 2019 so I qualify for the $3750 rebate. Is it ok to file the rebate now? Or do I need to wait? I read the document to file is not ready yet. I apologize if this is the wrong forum but I’m not sure where to place it.

Been tripping a lot with my model 3 so anyone recommend a tire repair kit. Not interested in carrying a spare tire but I’d like something for emergencies. I have AAA as well if that matters.

Just did my cabin air filter finally! The process itself is easy but I failed the last time because I didn’t have right tools. I had the t20 torx screw but I didn’t have the flexible articulating torq bit (I think that’s what it’s called). My hand was too big to reach into the top screw. Anyway...

Tesla Sentry Mode Films Vandals Trying To Break Charging Plug ...On camera that is. I saw these on my google news feed. Really lame for people to do that and even stupider for getting cause on camera. Their faces are totally clear too

Anyone having these weird issues where the charge limits keep changing? I specifically set 60% last night. When I checked my watch this morning it says 76%. Opened the app and my charge setting is now 100% and it’s charging. I dialed back the charge settings to 60%. I checked 1 hr later, it’s...

How to Get Tax Credits Retroactively for Your Electric Vehicle I have a question and perhaps those who bought their car this year 2019 will be helped by this. So according to the article the credit has two benefits that may effect tesla owners. So I bought my tesla and I qualified for the...

Yup that’s me ughhhh not my brightest day to be honest folks

hi guys anyone with a series 4 Apple Watch use the stats app please chime in your experience. I have a series 3 Apple Watch and the watch is PAINFULLY slow. It’s not even worth using because it takes 45 seconds just to unlock the trunk and stuff. Can anyone speak about their experience using...

anyone else experiencing an outage? My tesla app is not responding. It doesn’t give me an error. I searched tesla app not working and I didn’t receive results confirming its down today. Edit: Ok I have a vehicle connection error

Wow so I went on a day trip yesterday from Ventura county to Big Bear. I drove 260 ish miles with a huge elevation climb to 6700 feet. I started off with a 90% charge, pre-cooled the cabin. I arrived with about 40% charge! Heading back for sure I thought I would need to supercharge. I got a...

I was driving in stop and go traffic the other day. I was messing around with the map trying to determine where the slowdown was through Santa Barbara on a Saturday afternoon and this woman in a newish Chevy suburban type suv was just looking at me from the front passenger seat as I was...

In an effort to protect my headliner, I sprayed scotchguard on my headliner. Never having used the protect but reading race reviews I neglected to cover areas I did not want protection. Just noticed this week that my screen is covered in dot particles of the spray. Any advice?

so driving on the freeway going 75. Heard a large loud thunk. I thought we’ll nothing you can do about it know! Didn’t bother to even look at it since I was heading to work. I just noticed the nick to the front bumper. Two 1.5mm tear on the ppf. But looks like the paint was spared. Now what...

Just did a road trip this weekend from LA to Big Sur to Half Moon bay to San Francisco and back to LA trip and I must say supercharging is like stopping to smell the roses. I love it! Just to stop for 30-45 mins every 3 hrs makes you want to walk around. Go to a few stores. Walk around the...

ok can’t believe I’m seriously considering this but does anyone have this done in the LA area? It’s some cash to drop but if I keep this car for the rest of its life I might consider getting this mod. I really don’t like the light colored headliner and the dirt potential. Alcantara would be...

have you had to renew your internet connection? If so how does the process work?

i took a ride on a friends brother in law’s performance model 3. It was about 10 months old and noticed really bad staining on the headliner. So wondering what you guys have done to protect the headliner. I carried a plant in my model 3 and I got minor stains already soo the fabric tesla used...

So I’m going around trying to price ceramic tints generally I’ve seen quoted from $700 for all around to under $900. One shop recommended by TMC members in the inland empire in California has really great deals for all windows minus windshield for $555. They booked fully and have a one month...

Any iPhone XS MAX users on here??? Do you charge your phone on the center area console under the display and WAZE loses gps signal 60-70% of the time. I experience that to the point waze is pretty much useless for my daily commute. (Btw I’m aware you can have a hacked waze interface on the...

This process is aided by the DIY ceramic coating for $70 I installed on the car myself after I got the clear bra installed. Before the tesla I got a power washer on amazon (most well reviewers) model knowing I would want to wash the car myself and not leave it to the automatic washer or the...

Looking through my Death Valley road trip last week, I can’t help but to admire the looks of this car. This is my favorite angle so far. I love how the roof glass slopes down slowly to the rear, and blends into the little tail spoiler shape at the rear. How the chrome trim, and normally I...

I bought three of these things because I thought I would need at least 2. Turns out 1 bottle is enough for at least 2 coatings that will last 2 yrs. I’m selling one bottle, sealed. Comes with the bottle, applicator, applicator holder and clothe. You can view the bottle here. But I’m selling it...

has anyone figured out how to have waze announce police warnings and hazard warning, either through the speaker or the phone while playing other media (such as streaming or tune in)? I got surprised with a police with a radar gun while roaming tripping. Waze announcement did not play. I put...

i didn’t read this anywhere but i thought I’d share this. I found the best usb hub for the tesla camera and music drive. It’s an anker hub for $9.99. It has 4 other USB ports. It was recommended to me when I emailed jeda (wireless charger) for recommendations. I’ve tested it and I’m happy. It...

Ok we all know about build quality issues with tesla. Some things like the puckering seals in the rear door I can live with. Then there’s a weird roof seal that sticks out. Annoying for sure, it should be fixed soon... doesn’t bother me. But man I have this sound when I accelerate quickly or...

multi point question. I have a nema outlet and I’m using the tesla mobile charger. Works great. I have a 40amp breaker on my panel. I’m looking at the juicebox charger to charge the car. I like the juicebox because of the app. It tracks electricity used per charge which is ideal for tracking...

If I get a city permit, and inspection, will that affect and increase my property tax? Just curious...

Sharing this video because I’d hate to have mine stolen. I was surprised to learn tesla doesn’t let you use 2 factor authentication at the minimum when I got mine. Heck Gmail, my bank, all use this. Anyway watch the vid. I know my password is randomly generated and but I’ll need to change this...

Driving around everything is normal. Auto pilot demo working. I pull into the store and fire up the Atari emulator while waiting. But when I needed to go I couldn’t exit out of the emulator! So I did a reset of the display. Car drives fine. Then I noticed the automatic lights are on full...

im interested to buy a wireless charger 7.5w for my iPhone. However I also want to use sentry mode and usb music. Does anyone have a recommendation for a usb splitter that charges the phone and doesn’t degrade the charge? I bought a splitter for a usb and it didn’t work and had to return it...

ok any good deals for front bumper protection film. I heard someone online said the front part, bumper on a model 3 cost $2500 which is nuts. I’d rather get the car repainted and property blended in 5 yrs if it cost that much.

Just put down a deposit for my red long range RWD model 3. I would have never bought this car if it were not for my 06 Prius that I've had for a year (and I am still going to keep and drive most of the week for work). I always like it when my Prius was on electric mode, and hated when the ICE...

Man you know I’m sick of that *sugar*. I was set on buying long range model 3, no autopilot, red or white. I’m saving $16000 for a down payment so I can buy end of April 2019 and then I click today and the models have changed again. I’ve been obsessed with the model 3 but this really sours me. I...

hi everyone. I am stuck between white and yellow model 3. Aiming to buy in May/June. But I would like to see all model colors in person under day light. I’ve seen white. I’ve seen red in the mall showroom but does anyone know a location where you are allowed to look at the model 3 and all the...
