Update from FM @ Ford dealer below so hopefully I’m nearing the end of this. “Someone from Tesla just called me now after all the emails I’ve sent them. They said that they did receive everything from us, but it looks like their system closed out the account before the payment was processed...

Just took delivery of my ‘22 MSP and just noticed this as well. It started as I was sitting in the car inside my hot garage with the drivers door open. Maybe that caused this?? I drove about 3 miles to the tint shop with AC on auto and fogging did not go ahead.

Great idea, I’ve already emailed the FM that I will be visiting my local DMV in person next week. I’m wondering if that dealer hack is complicating matters..they did inform me they were impacted by it but still conducting business transactions manually whatever the hell that means.

Something more for you. The finance Manager’s name is Renee Rodriguez.

Oh, I’m not trying to protect them whatsoever. Absolutely not. They were not great at all!!! Ford of Kendall in Miami…They suck as does Tesla for making this process so onerous.

Regardless of this misery, the car is great. 2022 Plaid black on black with 39k miles FSD for $63k. After trade-in and DP, only $28k owed. Interest is higher so might pay it off within the year. Haven’t decided on that yet. Poor folks who bought these cars for $130k. Ouch!!

Totally your prerogative. I guess we can agree to disagree there.

Also, here in FL, once a lien is satisfied the DMV does not send a paper title. You have to go and request a paper copy if so desired either online via their portal or in person. I’ve paid off countless cars over the years.

Yes, it was taken in as a trade or so I was told. Used dealer Finance Mgr informed me Tesla is very difficult to do biz with - they don’t communicate in a timely manner, etc. All these folks are on my ongoing email thread with Tesla customer support/Tesla finance..

Why would I show you or anyone else I don’t know private paperwork?!?! To prove something I already know. That is not happening. The point of this post is to alert, the non-Tesla cult, customers thinking of buying from 3rd party dealers to be aware of ownership transfer issues.

Maybe?!? I really don’t care who is at fault here, be it used car dealer or Tesla. I’ve already chewed out both parties and more ass chewing to come as long as this continues.

Since we’re doing that. A Tesla blowhard can be wrong. If you have nothing useful to add, why bother.

I can assure you I own the car. My carrier has it covered on my policy. A temp registration has been issued by the dealer until my plate transfer processes. The issue is simply showing my ownership in the Tesla app. It’s okay if Tesla screwed up. I just expect them to resolve their error.

And if they want to keep dragging this on, I will keep getting ‘free’ supercharging off of someone. This ownership transfer process is pure idiocy.

Yes, used car dealer. Ford dealer in Miami. I’ve conducted numerous purchases/trade-ins. In FL, you almost never get a paper title because it is held electronically unless paper copy is requested. If this were a private party sale then yes I would have demanded seller furnish paper title.

Taking the car back is a ridiculous suggestion. Titles in FL are held electronically. I signed title paperwork for both the Tesla and PoA for my trade in. This is total incompetence on Tesla’s end in my estimation. I know most fanboys think Tesla is above criticism but they are not.

A Tesla customer support manager told me on our phone call the payoff was short by a few hundred dollars but the 3rd party provides clear documentation from Tesla themselves the previous loan was satisfied. Which part of Telsa is lying? The manager/customer support/finance or the Tesla that sent...

Buying a Tesla from a 3rd party dealer and trying to get ownership transferred is taking an act of GOD. I have never, ever experienced such incompetence when purchasing a car. Tesla is claiming a balance is still owed so they won’t transfer ownership to me but it is clear the previous loan was...

Hey Larry, My app changed this morning...will stop by later this evening.

Ok thanks. Shop Owner did mention looking at other alternatives if the 3M film also fails to stick so I imagine what you mention here is something he may see as an option.

It is really odd that it is only happening on that top trim on each side and yes it was sticky underneath and I just stuck it back on.

I did some research on Plasti dip but I’m not sure how it might stand up over time especially with the FL sun baking it when not home and garage kept.

I certainly hope so because this is really aggravating me.

Embrace the chrome huh?! Ugh but I might have no other option in the end.

He’s going to replace the Avery film with 3M and see if that fixes the issue. Apparently quality between the two are pretty close so will just have to try it and see what happens.

Shop owner wants to give it one more go but if that fails, I think I’m going to do just that and ask for a refund.

I do not, no.

My CD on both sides are coming off during steady rain events. The shop that did the work has stellar reviews and owner seemingly does good work but this is the 2nd time it’s happened since it was first put on back in April. Not sure whether to just give up and rip it all off and request a refund...

Loved it, great video!

That is a huge payment & in your shoes I’d probably sell it. I wasn’t too far behind at just under $700/month for my P3D. Thank goodness mine is paid in full now. I’ve been remote for 4 months and will likely be until the end of the year atleast. I take it out and drive it on the weekends.

Very nice. He would gotten bludgeoned by me. We need a kill section on this forum. I used to love posting my kills on that forum. A little boxy v6 turbo intercooled spanking v8’s left and right..

I was considering a purchase of RPM’s CF stalk covers but after a bit of research I see quite a few negative experiences so just passed.

That looks really good and considering a purchase. These center caps are just snap-on I think. Nothing to prevent somebody from walking up and popping them off?

I’m looking at ordering a set of these. Just a quick question on installation. Would a wet install using Alcohol/water mix be the best way for application?

My car actually downloaded the updated maps data first and then I got the s/w push later that night. I went into the car to enable stop light traffic control but couldn’t even though I had the newest maps. I left the car confused and came back 20-30 min later and then I was able to toggle the...

Just completed first drive with new features and it was quite impressive to say the least. It handled the traffic lights great. The only situation that confused it was a flashing red light on a major 3 lane divided thoroughfare where it wanted to stop at it no matter what I did. I also found...

Tesla SC notified me at 100 that my car was ready. Just under 5 hours. They must be getting good at these computer swaps. I had it in for brake fluid service too but after testing it, they informed me no need to change at this point so only thing out of pocket was cabin filter replacement. On...

Dropped my car off this morning at 830. The Touchless experience was quite smooth. Left me a loaner (MS 70) with key inside. Left my keycard in my car and jumped into the rental and off I went.

Swapped out for gray ones so no longer needed. Set of 4 has 18k miles on them. Asking $1450 + shipping. I'm open to reasonable OBO's. I can't seem to get photos uploaded here, keeps spitting an error back at me. Here is a link to the ebay ad. Note: One wheel has some imperfections on it. Not...

White interior still looks amazing at 18k miles. I use baby wipes to clean it about 2 or 3 times a month. Would def buy it again.

This is what Tesla SC wrote me on March 31st: “Good day, this is Tesla Service Orlando. Due to the current situation in our county, we are taking precautions as other businesses are in our area. Currently, we are not accepting any non-safety related concerns into the service center. We will...

Love my performance M3 and living here in Florida I can drive the thing virtually year round on my OEM equipped summer tires minus a few days out the year when we occasionally deep into the 30’s. Having said that, I did live in SE Michigan for years and could not imagine rolling on these low...

Ditto, it’s a great app.

That’s scary. I’ve experienced no such behavior thankfully.

yes, it’s pretty cool when it works as designed. Someone earlier in the thread explained how to send a voice text in one phrase. Tested that and it works great. I’m quite happy now. Thank you, Tesla!

Well, came out to the car tonight and nearly all the voice commands I’m throwing at it are working almost perfectly.

Exactly, whatever the cause, let’s hope it’s fixed soon. Sucks some owners can enjoy new features while many others cannot.

That makes sense. Squash the bugs, Tesla! Please and thank you.

I tested camp mode and it locks the car with no one in the drivers seat now. No longer a need to turn Bluetooth off and on to trick the system.

I just watched dragtimes review of the update and his voice commands and voice to text worked perfectly. These are bugs I hope that Tesla will smash in a cleanup update soon.
