    Wallace, NC Supercharger

    Not to drag up an old thread, but I just stopped at the Warsaw supercharger and it’s still working like normal. It was removed from Plug Share about two or three weeks ago. Also, the Smithfields bbq across the street has installed two HPWCs in the parking lot right by the street. They’re not...

    Do you ever worry about a blow out at 45psi?

    50psi is the cold tire pressure “max”, which means they’re also taking into consideration you driving with a heavy load in high heat causing the tire pressure to increase from friction and heat. My grandfather runs his vehicles at 60psi to squeak out that extra tiny fraction of a percentage of...

    Model 3 fire in Raleigh NC (10/14/2019) — Or maybe it was not the car...

    Yeah I saw that debris hanging down. Almost looked like a coolant hose on an ICE vehicle. Who knows what they hit. I drove down the road this happened and didn’t see any obvious scorched asphalt or tell-tale signs of a vehicle fire. Usually you’d at least see some melted plastic or something...

    Model 3 fire in Raleigh NC (10/14/2019) — Or maybe it was not the car...

    So I went by and that car isn’t there. There was a white performance that I thought could’ve been it, but I got out and crawled under to see if it had any damage and it didn’t. So I don’t know where it was taken.

    lol. I posted about this already. I’m actually out near the service center right now in Raleigh. I’m going to go by and see if that car is there. If so I’ll post pics.

    Model 3 fire in Raleigh NC (10/14/2019) — Or maybe it was not the car...

    There was a Model 3 fire here in Raleigh NC early this morning around 3AM. Of course the news had already reported it along the lines of “Tesla catches fire on Western Blvd causing hours-long traffic back-up”. from the limited video of the incident the car itself didn’t look to be all that...

    Rattling noise from seat belt tensioner

    I was having a rattle and to be honest still have it, but what shocked me was when I finally noticed last week that both front seat belt adjusters were recessed from the B-pillar trim by about half an inch and I couldn’t make either slide up or down. I looked at our other Model 3 and it looked...

    Rear door rattle - maybe from latch?

    My rear driver-side door has a metallic rattling sound. I can reproduce the issue by tapping on the metal part of the door directly above or below where the door latch is. It's a very annoying sound that is persistent now over anything but the most perfect road. I am tempted to take the door...

    Paint chipping at corners of spoiler

    I’ve noticed my paint is chipping off where the edges of the spoiler are on each side of the spoiler. It’s where the spoiler comes to a point. Has anyone else noticed paint chipping from what I assume is the spoiler slightly moving at highway speeds? This black paint is terrible. TERRIBLE...

    Supercharger - Smithfield, NC

    You know what’s crazy? I saw three Tesla’s the day I took these pics in Smithfield. Two MS and one M3. on a random note... what is up with the town of Clayton not having a single EV charger within the entire town limits or surrounding area?? Was there today and just checked PlugShare and...

    Vendor Improve your Model 3 Phone Dock!

    I just went to order another one, and noticed the price is now an even more ridiculous $49.99 for black or $55.99 for white. This is outrageous for a $0.50 piece of plastic. I had a hard time shelling out $39.99 for it a month ago, but to now have to pay even more makes me sick. I’m probably...

    P3D+ Sheet metal pop sound

    I have this issue on my brand new P3D+ 455xxx VIN.

    Autopilot worse after latest Update

    I just picked up my Performance M3 yesterday and it has the latest software version I’m aware of 2019.28.2 and either there’s something wrong with the steering rack allowing too much play on center or this version or autopilot is terrible. It plays ping pong between the lane markers and doesn’t...

    Details / Specs on PUP audio system

    Not to drag up an old thread or seem random, but I connected my car to WiFi this morning and got a notification from my router that a new device was connected. It said “LG Speakers”. I had the audio on in the car and know that LG is supposedly who makes the display, so I guess maybe the speakers...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Yeah I’ve always thought the aero wheels rode harsher than the 19” or 20”. I think it’s the super low rolling resistance MXM4s that contribute to the harshness. Either that or the P3D+ has softer springs and dampers to compensate for larger wheels and smaller sidewalls.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Just picked up my Performance 3. It does look nice in the black with white. I’m happy. It drives so well. I really think this car rides softer than our LR AWD with Aero wheels.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Yeah but I can change the username lol. I really should’ve ordered a midnight silver metallic with white so or two cars don’t look nearly identical. I don’t mind the black, just hate paying for it.

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Yep, our first LR AWD was white on white. I settled getting a black on white Performance. I'm taking delivery tomorrow in Charlotte instead of here in Raleigh where I live. In a way I'm glad it will be different than the other one, I just hate paying $750 extra for a non-metallic paint. Oh well...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I have ended up settling on the black Performance available in Charlotte. Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. My biggest regret in settling is paying extra for black when the white is a more expensive paint to apply and it's what I really wanted. I couldn't find a MSM with white Performance...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I’ve heard varying things about the view source trick. On a PC hit CTRL + U and it will open a page showing HTML code. You can then search for vin by entering 5YJ in the search field. If you see a 17 character vin you have one assigned. If you don’t see 5YJ you don’t have one... at least that’s...

    Tesla Trade in Value

    Jesus, I was having a hard time losing $6K on a Honda Accord, I can’t imagine the feeling you had when they offered you $20K-$30K less. Like others said, keep looking at other places. I was told by my local Sales guy that they gave a guy in a LR 3 AWD $47K for trade towards a new Performance.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Our other 3 is white on white and had a 2 week delivery period. Where have you heard up to 100 days?? Unless something has drastically changed in the last 45 days with availability, I can’t see how it would have gotten so insanely pushed out. When I called today and inquired, the sales center...

    Performance Waiting Room

    If they would give me a black with white, gray with white or other color with white interior (besides blue), for the same price as a white on white, I’d personally take it. The people I’ve talked to have not had any idea when the car was being built.

    Supercharger - Smithfield, NC

    Just visited this site. They’ve landscaped around the transformers and parking spots but still haven’t set the pedestals. Looks like these will only be 150Kw instead of V3. They say supercharger 2.5 on the labels. Here’s pictures from a few minutes ago.

    Tesla Trade in Value

    This happened to me where the price was showing pending. I called and called and finally told them I would get them payoff amount and made them honor the price quote I was emailed through the Tesla trade in tool. Finally it was corrected yesterday. Still no idea when I’ll get my car, but if the...

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    I ordered a white on white Performance 11 days so and still haven’t been assigned a VIN. When we ordered our LR AWD In June, it was delivered exactly two weeks later here in Raleigh NC. Car was built in June and shipped here before tax credit expired. I had really expected the same outcome with...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I also meant to add that our first 3 was delivered just a few days before the tax credit expired so I’m not sure if Tesla was scrambling more than usual to get them here, but it took us exactly two weeks to get the first car.

    Performance Waiting Room

    I ordered a white/white P3D+ with FSD on 7/24. I still have no VIN. When we ordered our first LR 3D a month and a half ago we didn’t get vin until three days before delivery. I’m hoping tomorrow I’ll get vin assignment and pick up Friday or Saturday, but who knows. I’m in Raleigh NC.
