    Supercharger - Laguna Hills, CA - Moulton Pkwy (LIVE 2 Nov 2023, 16 V3 stalls)

    The Laguna Hills @ Polly’s supercharger station is now open. I guess I’m the first person to use the “Polly’s” charger. I saw cars at the chargers and pulled in. They said all those chargers were company ones and I was the first true customer to use the station. They said my blue S might be...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    My experience was much better than my just completed 1200 mile trip from LA to Seattle. A 40 mile round trip in the rain yielded very few of flaws that were constant during the long drive. The systme exited highways correctly and without coaxing. I like the request for audio feedback when I...

    Live in Seattle, buy in San Francisco?

    You will have to pay CA sales tax but WA DMV will give you credit for the entire amount you paid. see this link… https://dor.wa.gov/forms-publications/publications-subject/tax-topics/vehicles-brought-washington-out-state if it’s a lower amount then you could ask CA for a refund on the...

    EV tax credit and EV charger credit

    He needs to file form 8911. Last year you could get 30% of all of these types of expenditures back as a tax credit. the program has not gone away but the amount you get back has been reduced for 2023. I used this for my credit in 2021 and my son installed a similar setup as the OP in 2022 and...

    Supercharger Pricing in WA State

    Even so, the point of the original post was to raise awareness of the wide disparity in pricing in our state. For example on the I5 side of the state, once you leave greater Seattle, prices are much higher (50 - 100%). On long drives, especially considering the range I have, I look at...

    Supercharger Pricing in WA State

    I don’t disagree or dislike your comments. I was just trying to make some estimation that’s easy to grab on to. My model S gets 405 miles (supposedly) so it’s different than all the calculations for the more popular Y, which comes in different variations which makes having a single standard...

    Vendor 3D MAXpider Tesla Model S Refresh Floor Mats now available

    I also like the tight fit of the rear cargo mat but I get the OP concern. I got mine a few days ago and put a tie wrap thru the loop in the “under cargo storage” cover and now can raise them both with little effort. It is a bit inconvenient get into the small left hand section but I only put...

    Supercharger Pricing in WA State

    What I have noticed is that the prices went way up one month ago (Seattle rose from $.18 off peak to $.24 and then came back down to $.18 a few weeks later.) Other locations had similar rises but I didn’t check all to see if they came back down. I don’t know enough to understand why there was a...

    Teslas are being delivered too fast for Supercharger Growth

    I understand your concern. It’s been bad during the holidays even before the huge production jump of the past few years. Tesla has continued to invest in SC but it’s a bit of a whack a mole situation where they fix some areas but others need more SC. Currently, they are putting in 80 additional...

    Supercharger Pricing in WA State

    This is really an awareness thing. I haven’t seen any conversation about the SC costs which are pretty high compared to what residents pay to charge at home. I spend the winter in CA where “OFF PEAK” home rates are $.19 and peak is $.31. Home charging for me in Seattle is $.11 always and I’m...

    Supercharger Pricing in WA State

    agree but I guess I'm wondering if people look at this and decide to skip an SC due to cost. Driving from LA recently, I tried to minimize Cal SC due to their costs and stretching in Myrtle Creek, OR rather than the Medford area because my S could then reach Kelso skipping all other OR SC and...

    Supercharger Pricing in WA State

    I'm curious about how SC pricing in WA state is determined and if fellow Tesla drivers even care. The data below was pulled from my car's SC map today. Clearly, the metro Seattle area has the lowest pricing, with $.18/kwh except for 11 AM - 8 PM which is $.36/kwh. The three most expensive in...

    Are there any owners here that did not do the full PPF treatment? (poll)

    I’ve also never had PPF on any vehicle but did do it on the Front/Rockers etc. on my 22 MS due to the concern over chip damage showing on the giant front hood of a blue car with this quality of paint.

    2022 (NF VINs) build quality discussion

    Similar to the conversation above, I had frunk alignment issues in my otherwise very acceptable 22 S. Mine was one of the early one as it’s NF 453. I took my vehicle for PPV and when I picked it up, they told me the left front fender was “loose”. They said they didn’t have the right tools to...

    I feel bad for those who are coming here to get delivery updates. Isn’t there a place to gush or cuss and discuss all the future changes other than here? I know we have a lot us who have been reading these pages since early last year but there is always a new crop of own recent buyers who...

    I don’t really think I will use this horn sound much in real life but I like the sound of “Tequila” which is very brassy and sounds authentic.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    With the T5 SSD in the glove box, I bought a 64gb San Disk USB-C ($12 @ Best Buy) for the center console for music and boombox sounds. My sons were quite anxious for my horn to play, “Move Bitch, get out the way…” After some fiddling around, this is up and running too.

    Here’s a new thing to check when you take delivery. My left front fender is loose, as in not securely tightened. I wouldn’t have known if i didn’t take the car in for PPF and the installer found the issue. He hand tightened it but it’s still looser than it should be. I have a service...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    I want to chime in on my home state site. I spend 5 winter months in CA so I planned for and took delivery on my 2022 LR last week. I got the VIN last Monday, 11/22, when I woke up to find my vehicle on the truck from Fremont to Irvine. I took delivery last Friday. In March I will drive it to...

    After 100 miles, my only complaint is noise in the headliner left side when on uneven surfaces (I-10) at highways speeds. The rear hatch alignment was slightly off so I didn’t ask about since it would definitely be within specs. There seems to be a tiny light (LED) just to the left of the...

    took delivery of my 22 S. No issues with the car except the excitement to drive it. No noticeable changes from the 21s I’ve seen and what’s been shown here. Ppf next week after a quick road trip to Scottsdale.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    It appears they are using the Barranca Parkway SC for deliveries. I believe at the end of the year, they will use the Irvine parking structure they have used in the past.

    A further update to your comment. The car is on a truck that left Fremont this AM and I will be able to take delivery either Wednesday or Friday, so two or four days from VIN (and only 4 because of the holiday) so as my friends in Massachusetts would say, “Wicked fast”

    I split my time between the two locations, so it’s CA for the rainy winters. It’s also less expensive to buy this car here vs. WA. Drive back will be in March or April.

    After 7 months and 3,000 pages on this WIKI, my VIN came thru today. It’s a 2022. Delivery this week in Costa Mesa. Obviously, excited like everyone else and just trying to do all the steps to not cause any delays.

    Just when think things can’t get worse… Today my delivery EDD changed to February. I’m assuming (hoping) there is some big adjustment going on and I will get a better date when the dust clears, otherwise this is a big disappointment especially when later RNs are getting their cars. No crazy...

    Well, Tesla came thru with the expected Mid-Q4 disappointment, moving my EDD to Christmas. (See sig) I keep checking this "delivery Wiki" every few days but don't have much to add since nothing has really happened since April.

    Oh shoot! I just got updated backwards. From before the end of the Quarter to the middle of the next when they start shipping in CA again. See Sig for bad news.

    Maybe there is some hope for me. As we near the end of the quarter, my delivery in Costa Mesa, CA is now before the end of the quarter. Just got my loan approved for 1.99% maybe the will happen!

    While I totally agree, he did look into whatever their planning system was and it took a while to load.

It’s black on black. They were surprised to have it and are pretty sure it will be moved once their weekend...

    A bit off topic but not really… I listen the “Ride the Lightning” podcast every week by Ryan McCaffrey. It is the best Tesla podcast by far. If you don’t follow this you should try it.

    I agree this would be a simple and low-cost option for them and us. I changed my paint and interior colors before any of the price increases and it would cost me $6,500 to go back to the basic White/black, which makes no sense. There are a lot of things Tesla "could" do but when demand is so...

    I'm not sure installation is included. The instructions say this... the credit for all property placed in service at each location is generally the smaller of 30% of the property’s cost or $30,000.

    Mine has been August and blank and September and more blank but now is 9/29-9/30. I think the big delays have hit all the white interior vehicles with most pushed to next year.
