Super helpful. Really appreciate the insight. So I had zero charging issues, yet they found a fault with the onboard charger. They never mentioned the DC/DC converter. Based on your input, the 12V battery dying and the onboard charger are not related at all? Just want to make sure I'm...

I need some advice on a puzzling issue with my 2019 Model S. The HV battery was replaced under warranty in 9/2023, followed by a 12V battery replacement in last month (12/2023) due to issues with not starting intermittently and the mobile service attributed to the 12V. Just after crossing 50,000...

Thank you, sounds good. I'll reach out

Hi, looking for alternative recommendations for electricians that would service southwest suburbs of Chicago. Have a house with an attached garage. Charger would only be 25 feet from our service panel that is located in an unfinished section of our basement, yet I'm getting estimates in the...

It was a showroom deal 😊. It was their demo and only had 1K miles when I bought it in Feb 2020. How much was the warranty at the time without the battery/drivetrain? Right now via the Tesla app, it's offering it for 3100 for 2 years and 25K miles.

I have a 2019 MS that has battery and drivetrain warranty until 2028. However my 4 year vehicle warranty expires in Feb. All your quotes include battery and drivetrain. Do you have an option where this is excluded since I would be paying for double coverage?

Hi all, I have reached the end of life on my 245/45/19 inch tires that are on stock slipstream wheels. I am thinking of trying to get a staggered setup on these wheels, with 245/45/19 in the front and 275/40/19 in the rear. Has anyone done this on these stock rims? Just wondering if the tire...

Definitely recommend people sending it via certified mail I sent it in the first week of the application cycle via regular mail and not hearing anything is troubling

Yep, just did that yesterday. 2 in the trunk with the 3rd row down. 1 in upright in the storage bin in the trunk. 1 upright in the space between the captain 2nd row seats with blocks at one end so it doesn't roll back and forth during the drive. Just make sure you cover the tire.

I was talking about Signal FCU that didnt approve me due to the address. I actually used FedChoice for my loan.

Take a look at it. If it's a rejected VIN you should be able to tell easily.

Ok sounds good Also for the proof of purchase are you all using the MVPA and the final price list that is available in the Tesla account?

That number you got a text about scheduling delivery can be replied to. You can text them and definitely ask them for the items needed from FedChoice. In regards to customer service agent at FedChoice, thats a clear hung up and call again. Make sure you go to "existing loans" when you are...

You should have been getting texts from the order/delivery team, it's a 510 number. Let them know what FedChoice is requesting and they will send it you via email or update your online account. FedChoice will send you a list of documents they need from Tesla.

Yeah I was going back and forth with rejecting the car. The SA assured me that service would be able to buffer and fix the door. Plus my CRV trade in quote was expiring and my offer was thousands over private party sales. Great car, but having issues like this on a brand new 100k+ car is...

Ok so I had my delivery day today and the car is absolutely amazing, even coming from a Raven Model S. I went through the delivery checklist template in detail, and found issues with the drivers side FWD. The top edge appears to have been too close to the the rear trunk and clearly had touch...

For those that have been accepted, did you use your temp registration or waited until you received your permanent registration?

MX Plaid resale will be worse than LR due to the very long wait times for the latter. Although the Plaid resale is still amazing considering how other cars drop 20% in their first year. When supply meets demand, then we will see the usual immediate depreciation hit for the cars in their first year.

Agree. Adelfi is super responsive and fast with their loan processing. I decided to go with FedChoice due to the 2.74% x 72m. Although you need patience and a week for the loan to be processed.

Yes it's similar to FedChoice but it's tiered floor based on the term. 2.24% is their floor rate for 48 months. Their floor rate for 60 months is 2.49% and their floor rate for 72 months is 2.74%. But to get this you have to enroll in their premium bundle which requires a 20 or 25K minimum...

That's what it appeared to me. Unless you can appeal based on their membership criteria - there a few gray areas that you may qualify. But then again, the point of this thread is for CUs without such strict membership criteria.

They rejected me within a few hours after I submitted my application due to my address not being in their "service area". So if you are not in the DC area, proceed with caution.

As long as you are not an existing member, when you apply for a car loan and get approved, you get an automatic additional 1% off their rates, but their floor rate is 2.74%. I never mentioned any programs, when I applied and when I was approved, I got the 2.74% rate x 72m. The way to do it is...

What CU offers rate match?

5 dollars. But they never even asked me when I got approved for membership. You do the car loan app first which automatically submits a deferred membership app until you get approved for the loan.

They do 100% if you want. I chose to pay for tax and fees as down. Yep 2.74 @ 72m definitely beats AdelFi, Nusenda and Tower. However they are very slow in their web messaging. I have to call them to get any traction on my inquiries.

Ok so Tesla did alert me that Fedchoice is now in their 3rd party database for lenders. I also spoke with Fedchoice and they confirmed that their new rate floor is 2.74.

No, but maybe robe4658 does?

They offer a 1% rate deduction for new members within the first 90days for their auto loans. But I do believe they have a floor rate which it cannot go under, unsure if that is 2.49 or 2.75.

So I just qualified for Fedchoice but got this wierd message from Tesla: "This lender is not currently in our database for 3rd-party lenders -- we're checking with Tesla HQ and will advise"

I just got a bunch of quotes and a few suggestions from different PPF installers. Essentially full wrap is 6 - 8K between all the places. However on a deep dive, a few recommended just doing the Full front (including mirrors), rear bumper, and all the lower doors (8-12 inches from the bottom...

Just got VIN'ed! Finally... Does anyone know how to add a Trade-in? I never received any text or messages regarding this.

Another week and another bump. Previous EDD: Oct 22 to Nov 12 Now: Oct 29 to Nov 19

Have you considered a partial (front full, base sides and rear bumper). I think they call that the showroom coverage?

Do you know which credit bureau they pulled?

What was the rate?

Care to explain about the financing and expiration dates? I am planning to do part cash and part financing and my EDD is 10/22 to 11/12, but have not lined up any bank/CU yet. Was waiting until I got Vinned.

I finally got FSD beta yesterday. Previously I never made the stringest safety score to get it. Using it on city streets last night and today, I finally am able to appreciate it's potential for autonomous driving. It was making turns at 5 way intersections, handling obscure driving situations...

Is that with FSD?

I have a 7/2021 order. Is this something that I will receive as well?

What's your current EDD?

How much do you actually think the depreciation differs between a 22 and 23… they are still waitlists and thus the price still remains high on the secondary market. Not many new cars out there where the market value is higher than the list price.

Same from 5w to 3w. Although mine got pushed back to Oct 22 to Nov 12.

For those familiar, I have a Oct 4 - Nov 8 EDD. Still a 5 week period. Does this mean that VIN is unlikely to occur since the EDD period has not tightened? Asking as I will be out of country for the first 1.5 weeks of the EDD window.

My EDD is Oct 4 to Nov 8. I am traveling that first week and won't be back until 11th. What is the average time from VIN to actual delivery day? I am a bit concerned

Just spoke to a rep in order to get my account confirmed, right off the bat, she asked if I had found out about AdelFi from the Tesla forums, 🤣

This is what I got from Jorge on Wednesday after asking similar question: Except that there is no Edit Design link in my account.

Ahh yes, I did add FSD before the price increase. I wonder if that has affected my delivery date at all. It has been pushed back like everyone elses - currently Oct 16 - Dec 11.

I am a July 2021 order, however I just took a look at my motor vehicle order agreement noticed that there is a line with "Order placed with electronically accepted items" with a date of 12/24/2021?? I have made no changes to my original order. Any idea what that date correlates to?

EECU is more restrictive - pretty much work in education in the central valley of Ca. Caroline Coop you can pay $20 to join the North Caroline Consumers Council which makes you eligible to join the CU.
