    Vendor 🥳🥳GIVEAWAY! Teslaunch New Product Drop: Join Our Test Program

    I believe to match the Uberturbine wheels they are the carbon grey. Installation was easy, and they still look great on the car with no issues.

    I applied my Teslaunch 21” Uberturbine rim protectors over the weekend. Without checking to see how it is installed I made this video of me putting on the first one: Before: After: You can hardly tell they are there, and I’m happy that my rims are protected. Thanks a lot for this...

    do you recommend we use the cushioning tape, or is the product designed to work better without it?

    Vendor 🥳🥳GIVEAWAY! Teslaunch New Product Drop: Join Our Test Program

    I received mine yesterday. They look great on my table, but there’s no instructions on how to install. It came with a couple rolls of some black foam tape, so I’m confused on what to do next.

    What’s wrong with my Model Y?

    Statistically, big problems like this will happen to a percentage of cars that are sold (not just Tesla). Unfortunately, this is happening to you. Since it's so new and under warranty, I imagine that given a bit of time the service team will figure out what's wrong and fix it, or come up with...

    Looking forward to the product delivery and trying it on my Model Y Performance. Can't wait to see how well it fits the wheels.

    From the first picture I would have thought the seats would be ruined, but wow, it sure cleans up nice.

    Are 3D Maxpider Mats still the best choice?

    Circling back with the update: I went and bought the LDCRS ones as suggested by @jjrandorin . The entire set cost almost a third what the 3D Maxpider ones cost, and other than the missing logos they're about the same quality, which is very good! Shipped quickly, and because of the efficient...

    Tesla called and offered to transfer my free Supercharging to a new vehicle

    I think yes, IF you can then get a new reservation on your new car, AND take delivery of it before the end of the year. That may be difficult though, depending on the Model and options you choose.

    No more EVs for me

    I don't understand how the way you're treated on various car forums dictates your decision on what car you want to own and drive? Also, are the Camaro SS car forums that much nicer than the EV related ones?

    Sold 2018 Model S 100D MSM on Black

    The battery and drive unit warranties expire on June 28, 2027. I was rear ended at a stoplight a few years back (luckily it was a guy two cars back, who pushed the car behind me slightly into the bumper) and I think it was somewhere around $4,000 in damage to fix the bumper and USS.

    With transfer of FUSC, which Model Y should I get?

    I don't remember the signed agreement being uploaded into my account, however, I do know that the pre-transfer approval was processed when the $250 referral bonus was removed and I had to make an additional ACH payment to cover it. The MVPA for the MY will show Pay-as-you-go at delivery, and for...

    I have a 2023 Model Y Performance with 21" Uberturbines. I've never used a rim protector, and would like to try these out to see how they help protect the rims.

    Seat warmers question

    If I want to do it on the screen, I have to turn on the Heat/AC, turn on the seat heaters, then turn off the Heat/AC. Or I can hold down the right scroll wheel and say "Turn on all seat heaters" and it will do it without turning on the heat.

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    The difference is in the terms and conditions of the deal as put forth by Tesla. I understand what you're saying, even though Tesla explicitly says they will remove it from your current FUSC vehicle and transfer it to your newly purchased Tesla, what difference is it to Tesla if you prefer to...

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    Yes, even after I picked up the new vehicle it says Pay-As-You-Go-Supercharging. The contract says it can take up to 7 days, but the people at the sales center said it would take up to 72 hours to complete the transfer. Mine was completed in about 12 hours from the time I took delivery. They...

    Are 3D Maxpider Mats still the best choice?

    Having just purchased a 2023 Model Y Performance, I'm looking to get something better than the standard floor mats. I have 3D Maxpider mats in my two Model S's. Are these the best ones for the Model Y as well, and where can we get the best prices on the mats? Thanks in advance TMC.

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    I picked up my Y Performance yesterday. As of this morning the free supercharging has transferred from my old Model S to the new Model Y. Everything worked out great. If they took off the referral bonus then the paperwork is properly filed and your transfer should go through. Good luck!!

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    I have the same on my 2018 S 100D, the SC05 supercharging that only stays with me while I own the car and does not transfer to future owners. For SC05 owners like ourselves, it makes a lot of sense to take this deal and transfer the SC05 to a new Tesla. I'm looking forward to faster free...

    With transfer of FUSC, which Model Y should I get?

    Here's a copy of the agreement you have to sign and return and allow them to process, BEFORE you can take delivery of your new Tesla. It's my understanding that as soon as I take delivery of the new vehicle, my older vehicle will have the FUSC removed immediately, and it becomes pay-as-you-go...

    With transfer of FUSC, which Model Y should I get?

    So to recap, I placed my order on Thursday at 9PM for a Model Y Performance, Friday morning at 9AM the loan was approved and I had been assigned a VIN, at 10AM I had the paperwork for the supercharging transfer which I signed and returned by 11AM. The sales center contacted me all weekend to try...

    With transfer of FUSC, which Model Y should I get?

    I placed the order last night at 9PM for a new Model Y Performance, MSM, White interior. Base price $52,490 plus $1,000 for the interior upgrade. Uploaded all my driver license info, insurance, etc. and applied for a loan. By 9AM this morning I have the loan approved, and a VIN has already been...

    Tesla called and offered to transfer my free Supercharging to a new vehicle

    I got the same text and email, and decided to go for it. I have a 2018 S 100D with SC05 (non-transferable) FUSC. Wifey and I decided we would like to move that over to a new Model Y Performance, so I placed the order late last night. We didn't get charged the $250 deposit (it was given back to...

    With transfer of FUSC, which Model Y should I get?

    That's a great point. With LFP batteries are you supposed to keep them charged to 100%? So you'd get the real 260 miles range out of it, whereas with a LR with degradation and only charging to 80% means you'd get about .... the same amount of range anyway?

    With transfer of FUSC, which Model Y should I get?

    I have a 2018 Model S with FUSC (SC05, non-transferable). With the latest offer, I could buy a new Model Y and I believe the FUSC would transfer over to it, for as long as we own the Model Y. That would be great, we would appreciate the faster battery charging, and a battery warranty that...

    Is the mobile connector that you buy from Tesla waterproof?

    Newport Beach & Costa Mesa, CA Need New Superchargers

    Living in Huntington Beach, I find the Fountain Valley chargers convenient, but I've also charged at the Costa Mesa (Hyland) in SoCo. But since there are only 8 chargers there it gets busy fast. I haven't yet tried to the other one in Costa Mesa at Bristol and Santa Ana Ave, or the one next...

    Free supercharging value?

    Looking at my charging stats, in the past year I have used almost 8000 kWh of supercharging for my Model S with FUSC. There are three superchargers within three miles of my house, so it's easy to get out and charge it when needed. Electricity at my house is about $0.35 per kWh so I guess that...

    Excessive supercharging voids warranty?

    Oh wow I didn't even catch that it was in wh/km. I think I am under 300 wh/mile, so 350 wouldn't be that far off, and was perplexed at why the range was so low. Now it kind of makes sense, especially with the mountainous driving. If you're spending almost twice as much energy to go a mile, I...

    First Flat Tire - Poor support

    It is a nice perk that Tesla claims to give you, since our cars don't come with spare tires. And in theory, it should work really well - local tow trucks are given loaner wheels/tires to carry with them, and replace your flat one. They then take that flat tire back to the local service center to...

    First Flat Tire - Poor support

    I had my first flat tire in 2019, and back then Tesla Roadside Service worked great. They dispatched a local AAA truck with the loaner, and took the flat tire/wheel to the SC. A couple days later I went to have the tires swapped out, but Tesla charges a lot for a tire! So now I just have AAA...

    You all have about talked me out of a Tesla altogether...

    I came into Tesla 4 years ago and came from an M5 (E60 with the v10 engine). The Tesla is probably the best car I've ever purchased, and we are so happy with it. While almost every negative experience gets posted on here, very few good to great ones ever do because who wants to hear about how...

    Funny FSD story

    As a refugee kid who fled the communist invasion of Vietnam, I came to America so that I would have rights and freedoms. Though, in defense of law enforcement, these bad examples are rare and not commonplace. I often say that the way we do things in America must seem like the worst way possible...

    Funny FSD story

    Yes, but luckily for us the breaking of the taillight would be caught on dashcam, if not on their own bodycams. I know, there can be myriad made up quasi-legit reasons for being pulled over, but they need to at least have one of those and not be pulling people over for driving too good.
  45. kingkong5

    Funny FSD story

    It's a funny story, but that's not OK to be pulled over for "driving too good". "Driving too good" cannot be probable cause for a traffic stop, otherwise they could pull you over for pretty much no reason at all.

    Am I getting a rejected vehicle?

    It might or might not be a rejected vehicle, but maybe it is a rejected vehicle because the buyer wasn't able to obtain loan funding, or they changed their mind on how much vehicle they could afford. Maybe the buyer didn't respond to the car is ready text and missed making an appointment so...

    I am so happy with both of our Model S. Every day. But I don't write about it often, who wants to hear about how much I really like my car? OOOOOOh! It was an amazing day. The door handles popped out as I walked near. I got in. Stepped on the pedal. Put it into drive. I can go faster than...
