    General chit-chat in "For Sale" threads

    Looking for a sounding board and I think this is the right place. I have a June 2019 SR+ in blue, 9500 miles, not FSD, not dual motor. Overall great shape other than a couple of scratches on the passenger door and a tiny scrape on the bottom of the front airdam. 18" wheels are all perfect...

    Trading in a Tesla for a Tesla?

    The two offers have nothing to do with tax other than perhaps from a tradein perspective, in that the trade may reduce the taxable amount of the new car (doubt it). In CA, new and used cars are taxed the same, 7-9% or so depending on where you live. So if you buy a new car for $30k, you pay...

    Trading in a Tesla for a Tesla?

    I have been tossing around the idea of selling my 2019 SR+ with 9k miles, and either investing that money, or holding it until I find a M3P that is at a good price. Right now, most of the online services are not buying cars, so I was able to get an offer from only Carmax and Tesla (the latter...

    O manual do carregador de parede diz na pagina 10, seccao de trifasico: The circuit breaker should be rated for the continuous current of: 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, 20, 25, and 32A. Portanto, penso que o minimo seria 2A?

    DIY Curb Rash repair

    Following. If there's enough DIYers, there will be a paint sold. For BMW, I can get factory colors in the can. It's a matter of supply and demand.

    Trunk seal replaced by mobile service

    Tech said it was improperly installed. It is glued down.

    Trunk seal replaced by mobile service

    All I can tell you is that the Tesla mobile tech did not pull the flange out, so I assume he did it correctly.

    Trunk seal replaced by mobile service

    BTW bent corners may be here for good. I noticed the new one is already doing the same. I think it's because this plastic trim piece was designed after the fact - I had just asked if the trunk upper being unpainted was normal, and he said that's why they started adding the trim piece. I...

    Trunk seal replaced by mobile service

    Had a nice experience with mobile service (my first). Tech came out and looked, confirmed the seal was not installed right and needed to be replaced. I expected to hear "well, we have to order it and it will take X weeks" but instead he said "I have a new seal with me here, and I can do it...

    [Mac] How to Format USB into 2 Partitions for DashCam and Music

    Hmm, true, but contributing code is not really about "I assume you're stupid and can't do it yourself" but rather "I've written this so you don't have to, but feel free to improve on it".

    Recommended USB drive for dashcam

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    The install is fairly easy, certainly easier than it used to be. The problem I see is that while sentry mode works fine, dashcam never worked, and I was unable to get any files uploaded to my share though I verified connectivity and function of the share. At this point I don't have time to put...

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    I'm running this as well now. I'm not sure if it's a new problem, but I had noticed that my car won't do dashcam if I split the USB into two volumes. Same seems to be true with the Pi Zero W, I first told it to set aside 4Gb for music and sentry mode works but no dashcam. Early today I redid...

    Juicebox vs included charger

    Thought I'd share the stats from TeslaFi. This is what I would ideally see in the Tesla app directly, or be able to pull from the car without having to go through a 3rd party. With this info, it seems it doesn't really matter what charger you use (at least in terms of home charging).

    Juicebox vs included charger

    I keep a spare J1772 adapter in the car anyway. I used the Juicebox last night and noticed the hourly minimal charge thing happening. Not a big deal. On the other hand, I don't get cost stats from Juicebox either, but was able to get them from TeslaFi. So I'm still undecided.

    Juicebox vs included charger

    Agreed, the Juicebox will let me set a charging schedule so it will only kick in during TOS pricing (11pm on). With the mobile charger, I'd need to set that schedule on the car. Usage statistics I don't care much about except for cost. It occurred to me that Tesla should be able to tell me...

    Juicebox vs included charger

    I've got a Juicebox 40 on the wall, but my kid convinced me I should just be using the included mobile Tesla connector with a 14-50 adapter, because it does the same thing, and has the bonus of the button to pop open the charger port. I'm having a hard time finding exact specs on the stock...

    [Mac] How to Format USB into 2 Partitions for DashCam and Music

    As I posted in the other thread... I just went through this and found that ExFAT would not work in my car. Only FAT32 works for the music to be recognized. To make things easier setting up the USB on a Mac, I wrote a script that you can run in the terminal window. I tried to make it verbose and...

    New car issues

    Back to the topic at hand... Drove to the Berkeley service center today, which is oddly hard to find. The address is on Gilman St but the Tesla side of the building is on the other side of the lot, took me three passes to figure out where to go. The entrance is actually on 8th Street...

    Thanks @MountainJedi , that was a helpful post. Anyway, took me 2 days but I finally reached someone on chat. He got me a service appointment in Berkeley (didn't know there was a service center there) on Friday so we'll see what they say. I also did a full detail and ceramic coating so I...

    New car issues

    Just tried chat, it sits there and hangs. "We’re connecting you with a Tesla expert…" The TPMS issue is an actual safety issue. I'm driving along at 70 and all of a sudden an alarm sounds, red light pops up on screen, tire pressure shows 0. Did I run over something? How could a tire go from...

    New car issues

    My first available service appointment via the app is 10 days out. My time to return the car, if it's defective, is Saturday. My options are: call Tesla (I will probably try that next) and see if they can dispatch mobile service. drive to the service center and hope they can fit me in drive...

    New car issues

    Haven't found a thread that specifically deals with this topic so I'll start my own. So far I have: rattles under the car (day 1). front right TPMS suddenly showed up as 0 psi, scaring the beejeezus out of me, then went back to 45psi (day 2). I did a TPMS reset but haven't driven it much...

    A deadline-related tax question

    Hmm, I think that could be the case. It states: The following requirements must be met to qualify for the credit. •You are the owner of the vehicle. If the vehicle is leased, only the lessor and not the lessee, is entitled to the credit. •You placed the vehicle in service during your tax year...

    A deadline-related tax question

    IRS Form 8936 asks for the purchase date, VIN, etc. But it says nothing about still owning the vehicle at the time taxes are filed. Did I buy a car in 2019? Yes. Can I prove it? Yes. Beyond that, I can't find any evidence of why not. I emailed my tax guy to see if he knows.

    How long did you spend at Service Center for Delivery?

    Best Usb Drive For Sentry Mode?

    A deadline-related tax question

    Just got my model 3 and there's one issue bugging me, rattling underneath the car. For speculation purposes, if I were to return the car, then put in another order, I wouldn't make the tax deadline. However... the 1040 form asks only if you bought the car and on what date. So, I did buy a model...

    I need to know about your rattles....

    Brand new owner. My car rattles underneath over bumpy roads, if I had to guess it sounds like a loose liner or belly pan. Trying to figure out the quickest way of sorting this short of returning the car. Checked online for a service appt, they are a week out. Sent an email instead, let's see if...
