    Undercarriage falling off

    EVANNEX.COM sells aluminum skid plates to correct for the problem you have. EVANNEX Aluminum Front Skid Plate For Tesla Model 3 (2017-9/2021). I had mine installed by a repair shop which took about 5 hours of labor to install.

    We survived a HORRIBLE accident thanks to our Tesla

    My accident was not nearly as bad as yours but nevertheless I won't have my car back for at least 45 days due to part delays. I share the group consensus that I am happy you both walked away unscathed. When I lost my model S two weeks ago today due to a collision I was very upset. But while...

    Pointless door handle wear

    I got lucky with my door handles. I was at the service center for the recent seat belt recall. When the technician handed me my key the door handle no longer auto-presented. It literally broke the last time the service tech closed the door. The Sr. tech evaluated the situation and asked if I...

    Tire slowly losing pressure with TMPS warning ... any gueses?

    I was convinced my slow leak was a TMPS sensor issue since it was in both front tires. My office building had construction going on at the time. The two sheet metal screws the Tesla service guys found in my tires which matched the ones screwed in the wall in front of my car in the parking garage...

    Tesla doesn't want to service my Model S

    Did you notice the part in your warranty that said you were not supposed to use a mechanical carwash but rather you should hand wash the vehicle? I was surprised to read that too but you should be aware that mechanical car washes will possibly void your car body warranty.

    Am I going to regret leaving off the air suspension option?

    I doubt you plan to be in a flash flood anytime soon. We had phenomenal rain in the Dallas area in the late spring/early summer. I was waiting for my daughter at Love Field, our in town airport. The rain was so heavy the airport had to be closed and all the flights re-routed to other cities...

    5 Hours After Delivery

    And I would also recommend this helpful 3d printed umc controller wall bracket found at TMC Marketplace. I have it along with the wall connector organizer and they really work well together to keep your charging cable accessible and organized. The UMC bracket keeps the controller from pulling...

    Front Plates no holes...

    I heard the last time the Texas legislature took up the license plate issue they failed to establish a penalty of any kind. My understanding is that not having a plate just gives them an excuse to pull you over and see if there is anything else you might be doing that might be illegal. Inhaling...

    Dallas

    Hi SW2Fiddler, I go to an annual convention in Houston every February. On the way to Houston I top off at the Huntsville supercharger. It gives me enough range for the three day conference, but I do not drive around much once I am there. On the way back I charge at the Corsicana supercharger...

    Quality problems; "veteran members" tell us, how significant are they?

    I am an early adopter I think my vin is 1649. My Texla was delivered via UPS in January 2013. A Texla is similar to a unicorn. The Great State DOES want the tax revenue just not the political headache associated with the Texas Automobile Dealers Association, TADA. The bureaucrats in Austin...

    How reliable is your Tesla so far?

    My business partner was one of the first to get the Porsche Panamera here in Dallas. He was on the waiting list for a few years. His Panamera has been in the shop for at least three months in the 2 1/2 years he has owned it. He has had mechanical issues as well as problems with the interior. It...

    Tesla Owners Work in Oil/Gas Industry

    I am in the Oil & Gas business. My first electric vehicle was a Segway. With it I learned to appreciate the efficiency and fun of an EV. I told myself that if an electric car ever came along that I could afford and was as fun as the Segway then I would buy it. So I guess there is a benefit to...

    Texas Tax Due Date

    I was told they should get started about 1:30pm with the Tesla part of the hearing to occur around 4:30pm. When the committee chair came in and saw the packed room he turned to an aid and asked what was going on today that drew such a crowd. After a bit of whispering at the front, the chairman...

    Texas Tax Due Date

    Please make no assumption Oil & Gas folks do not like Tesla. As a Texan I have been associated with the industry since high school. I love my Tesla and my job in the oil & gas industry. I liked the point Elon made out at the factory party in the fall of 2012. He said that Tesla is energy...

    Has it dawned on anyone?

    Zythryn is right. I have a friend who attempted to get the same quote, which he had in hand from the Ford website, on a Ford Fusion EV from two dealers in the Dallas Area. Both were at least $1500 over the internet quote, while one was over $3000 more. When he asked if he could test drive one...

    Tesla in Annapolis

    I am from Dallas Texas and I would also like to meet the owner of a Tesla in Annapolis. My daughter is getting married at the Naval Academy on June 15th. I would like to borrow the Tesla for their trip from the Chapel. My photographer thought it would be great to show the Tesla dragging oil...

    Petition to Overturn Dealership Franchise Laws

    Number 629 on petition and voted in person for bill in Austin on 4/9. I had to leave the hearing early before Elan spoke. I like sausage, just not seeing it made.

    North Texas Toll Tags

    Stephen has found the location that worked for me at the airport. It is on the right side of the mirror near the black dots. My toll tag is exposed about 1/4 inch at the bottom of the mirror. North Texas Tollway has acknowledged they are reading my license plate for tolls and the airport is...

    Texas legislative issues/Operation Silent Thunder

    Hi Steve, 1) I made my payment before Tesla shipped the car. Taxes were not rolled into the finance cost. I had the pleasure of discovering that after delivery when I tried to get my license plates. First time I paid $6,800.00 for a license plate. 2) Tesla gave the car to UPS and told me to...

    EZ PASS Transmitter windshield location

    On the right side of the mirror there is a thin slot which can accommodate the newest toll tags which look like a thin plastic film. That part of the windshield under the mirror support housing does not have the metallic coating. If you have one of the thick plastic types I think you have to...
