I just checked on shipping for one person. It was ridiculously expensive. The problem is the size of the mats and the current shipping rates. I think the only thing that really makes sense to ship would be the extension cord since it can be packed in a medium sized box.

Several have asked about shipping now. Shipping is expensive right now and I know several people who have been burned recently by agreeing to a “shipped” price. The worst one was a guy I purchased some wheels from. Neither of us had any idea what he would end up paying. Let’s just say I got the...

The brand appears to be LMZX.

I had a similar experience at Atascadero and backtracked to SLO hoping it would be faster. (That was probably a mistake.) Once I got to SLO and saw the crowd I thought about going to Kettleman but it looked like it would take an 1.5 hours to get there and probably a similar amount of time to...

After waiting 2.5 hours in the queue at San Luis Obispo this evening... all I can say is that I Hope Tesla reads these threads and takes action to remedy the situation. Kudos to all of the Tesla owners here with me tonight. As best I can tell everyone kept their cool and made the best of an...

I’m considering using a small spacer at the rear to mimic the staggered look. It would be purely for cosmetics. Has anyone tried this already? I’m wondering what size spacer and what length of lug bolt will be needed? Also are there any vendors that already sell the correctly sized spacers and...

It’s not a defective battery. It’s a misunderstanding of the Monroney label (aka the “sticker”) on your car. 370 is the EPA rated range which is arrived at through their standard test procedure on a dyno. It’s a theoretical number not something you will ever see in real world driving. But by...

More than likely you’ll need to replace the stock bars to maximize the setup. But as a long-time former racer I urge you to take one step back and make sure you buy coil overs from a manufacturer that specializes in coilivers for your application and has proven race results to back it up. Not...

Where can I get the TeslaCam reviewer app? I don’t see it on Apple’s App Store.

lol. I used Sentry mode for the first time last night and freaked out when I saw “7 events” in the display when I returned to the car. I’m guessing that means there were 7 people that walked by the car and thought “WTF” when the headlights came on. :)

I haven’t quite decided yet. I need to run the system - with the car charging as well - to see if the TOU-5 plan (I think that’s the one with the fixed charge of $16+/- each month) make sense. Even then it will only make sense if I can use the compensation for power generated to offset the fixed...

My $0.02. If you don’t think you’ll have enough power to get home after your return from your trip, leave the car at home charging and take Uber. Aside from etiquette it also ensures that you don’t get stranded when you get back from your trip.

Also, in case anyone else runs across this thread in the future, the answer is: Charge during super off peak to get the lowest rate possible.

Long story short, you guys are right. After reading what you said, I called SDG&E thinking my bill was in error. Turns out they only apply a portion of your credit each month, just enough to zero it out. The remainder is on page 5 saved for future use. Thanks all for your help and patience!

Yea SDGE doesn’t pay you the retail rate for power generated. It pays a wholesale rate. So far I’ve been paid between $0.09 and $0.23 per kwh, which is well below the rates they charge me. PS Sorry for the confusion over the term “excess.” I was referring to the unused power that I sell back to...

Is your super off peak rate lower than your off peak rate? Mine isn’t. SDGE charges the same for off peak and super off peak. The only way to get a lower super off peak rate is to pay $16/mo. Back of the envelope, I think I’d need two BEVs to make the $16 fixed cost pay off.

Hmmm. Sounds like this is more complicated than I thought. If I understand what you are saying, even during peak solar production SDGE may charge me for power, if the power used by my charger exceeds the power being produced by my solar system. Another option would be the TOU plan that charges...

I recently installed solar (two months ago) and bought a Model S. After reviewing my bill from SDGE I'm trying to figure out what the best time to charge is (most cost effective). My basic assumption is that I should charge the car when I'm generating excess Kwh, which is during the day from...

No special characters in my car's name. IDK what happened with the initial V10 install. But it seems to be all there now.

I also think I was missing many V10 features until the new update. Theater now shows up, whereas it didn’t in the initial V10 update.

After two weeks with my MS/LR, the only thing I miss about my ICE vehicle was it’s use as a way of telling my teenagers to “wake the f—k up it’s time to go.” Porsches with sport exhaust are good for that... Waiting here again for the kids to come down for school... I see now, very clearly, why...

Thank you! I will give that a shot this morning!

Mine was built last month. So I assume it should have it but I can’t find Tesla Theater.

Installing it now. My best guess is just general bug fixes. I just got the car two weeks ago, however -- still discovering new things each day. So I'm not a good proxy for what's new in this release. P.S. Dumb question. Is it possible to stream Netflix in my Raven S? I thought that was a...

Interested. Can you send me a fee pics? Thank you.

I wonder if going over baseline would make it worth going to TOU5 even with solar?

That did the trick. Thank you!!!

Sounds a little like the tricks I had to use on my IBM PC XT back in the day! :D I’ll give that a shot!

Hmmm. Definitely restarted the system but it still has me in Mountain View. Weird.

I picked up my new MS LR last night at the Kearney Mesa (San Diego) facility. Everything worked great until I installed V10 last night. Now the Nav thinks my car is in Mountain View. Even after driving it around town here in San Diego, Nav still thinks I’m in MV. Any ideas for how to refresh the...

Well there was another minor glitch. The car hasn’t actually been transported to the local delivery center where I was supposed to take delivery today. Oof! I’m still excited to get it and I feel reasonably confident that it will be there by Saturday. It is end of quarter after all. :rolleyes...

I recently installed solar in my new home (had it in my prior home too). To me it’s a simple payback period computation. How many years before the system pays for itself. Payback periods in SoCal have gotten surprisingly low. I don’t recall my exact figure but I believe it was about 5 years. And...

I’m jealous. Wish I had been able to order my MS/LR in silver!

I was a very early adopter of online automotive forums (1992). Perhaps I’m suffering from some sort of selective positive memory bias, but I’d swear the ratio of positive to negative content was somewhere around 10:1 back then. Since that time there appears to have been a long, slow reversal to...

In my case it’s super easy because I’m a cash buyer purchasing a car I don’t need. If the car is there tomorrow then great, I’ll take it home. But I do think it would be a bigger issue for someone who has to finance their car through a third party. I still don’t know the price of my car and...

Good to know re the check. I feel for them. I remember how hard it is to try to stay ahead of demand when rolling out new products, increasing capacity, etc. It was hard enough with 50 employees. I can only imagine how hard it is at this scale.

PS - A glitchy process is still better than going to a traditional car dealer!

I’m a new Tesla customer... Former business professor turned entrepreneur. Car guy. Reasonably green and reasonably tech savvy. I think I fit squarely into the middle of Tesla’s target market at this stage of the business. My first impression is that the company has great products but they...

@forkee thanks for the reply. We don’t use much electricity for the majority of the year. Before considering electricity generated, I would guess we are below baseline for coastal San Diego from November - June. But July - October we may be 150% of baseline due almost entirely to the AC. Most...

SDG&E has their own rate plan simulator. But it only works if you’ve had service for a year, with no significant changes in usage. I recently purchased my house, added solar and am about to take delivery of a Model S LR. So the SDG&E simulator can’t help. Looking for a third party simulator...

After sending a message to TMC it now works! Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to slightly hikack the thread.

I do have an account and I’m signed in. I’ve tried it on my iPhone and MacBook. Still no luck.

Now that’s odd. I don’t show any of those options on my screen. Maybe I have to have been a member for a certain period (or number of posts) before I am allowed to give feedback to others.
