No I didn’t. Time to upgrade!

Hi guys, Super psyched to get v10 but my September 2017 build looks as if it didn’t get the “Theater” tab in entertainment. Do these require MCU2?

Excellent. Thanks so much for the update!

Sold!

I just noticed this same behavior in my 2013 S this weekend after a software update. I wonder if they messed with software in an attempt to improve cold weather range. I’m interested to learn what you find out.

Fine blemishes are pretty easy to remove with a glass polish kit, drill, and half an hour. I bought one from Amazon for about $30.

QUOTE="animorph, post: 3338137, member: 45315"]Keep it plugged in. It should store better than an ICE car. A charge level of about 50% is supposed to be nice to the battery. the 12V battery is taken care of by the car. I'd also avoid anything that might prevent it from sleeping, just to minimize...

IMHO, I’d stop looking at panel gaps and imperfections and enjoy it. My wife did this with me and we are much happier as a result.

Hmmm. You want the entire tax credit and the lower price?

I’ve never bought a Tesla I had the heart to sell. They’re all great. I have found that the 3 is better for short errands and quick trips. If I’m in the car for more than an hour, I much prefer my S. The ride is definitely more refined and relaxing. The 3 is a blast to drive but the trade off is...

Where is this auxiliary lot? Off Ktel drive?

Just don’t forget the mystery corner nut accessed by pulling interior carpet down. There are 2 good how-tos on the forum.

Yes alignment and the SC does that all day long. Easy fix. A vibration, bounce, or shake might indicate balancing but that doesn’t sound like your issue.

Did mine in an afternoon. The only thing I forgot to do was keep track of rear steel bumper orientation (oval hole to the right) :). The installer in my area was nearly 45 minutes away and I wanted it done right so I just did it. Wasn’t too bad.

That is correct. Black grille and rear diffuser was offered in 2017 for a brief period of time for cars without PUP. I recently replaced rear damaged diffuser with the black on my PUP because I like it better.

My understanding is that current rises dramatically as voltage falls. As current rises so does excess heat and degradation.

After 3 pages I humbly suggest: get a wall connector.

Jeff Dahn is the man. Don't listen to anyone else.

Life of the battery would be much better if you wouldn't run the battery down so low. I try never to go below 20%. Deep discharge is one of the worst things you can to to your battery. It would be much better to charge whenever possible and top off to 90%.

Hey, if it were my mom I'd get pictures of the automatic doors at the Hy-Vee!

Got the Nomad for my wife's 3. Works great. Love the discreet LEDs that show charging status and the integrated battery is very smart. I recommend.

Dude I feel bad for you—but worse for your buddy.

Windshield should be fixed if it’s original OEM and installed by Tesla. Leather cracks are normal wear and tear IMHO.

I thought it was nice to have someone do the math for me!

Sent me an invite to pick min up in Chicago. Really? I was really looking forward to using this for summer campfires. I should have known when Elon said available by summer he was referring to summer 2019.

Mines the standard 85 in my signature with a B pack. Not software limited.

Remember your McGeaver needs to make less than 150k (single) 300k (joint) gross income for CVRP rebates.

My 2013 had a contactor go bad. I wonder if low HV impedance is a precursor to a failed contactor? I know this was a common problem on the earlier cars. Mine has been bulletproof since replacement.

Model X feels heavier and less agile. Model X is very comfortable and seating position is higher giving you a good view of road but it feels like driving a boat instead of a sports sedan like S IMHO.

I wanted to like the X for something different but didn't like the way it drove compared to S. S is also prettier and trunk is cavernous.

This topic has gotten pretty broad. :)

Agree with everything you said except oversized American flag. : ) If they only knew my motivations for driving a Tesla--sure the environment is high on the list--but followed closely by ending meaningless wars over oil saving American lives, and supporting American workers. I'm no less a...

Oh yeah, has anyone gotten their not a flamethrower?! :)

It’s been about 9 months and all I’ve heard is they’ve had a delivery party in California. Has anyone outside California gotten their flamethrower yet? Summer is ticking away.

Most often includes modifications to particulate filter so to be precise it's both the fuel and exhaust systems.

So is it or isn’t it the right term? Isn’t hate involved in all these situations?

Ha! I’ve also heard that one. Haven’t heard Tesla repellant . . . yet. As for the trucks, I’m not a fan.

Tried to upload some images to no avail. It’s the practice of modifying diesel exhaust systems to produce huge clouds of black smoke. Does California have Google?:)

I got mine painted to match Tesla gray—look way better than original silver!

I’ve gotten the finger twice and my wife and I have both been “coal rolled” on separate occasions. Kinda sucks to be judged by a purchase. Thinking about changing IH8OIL license plate which I think gets a lot of people excited.

If you’re planning on staying at house for a while, I’d recommend adding a panel. I had 200 amp service and added another 200 for simultaneous charging of 2 cars. I’d add at least 100 amps for a little future proofing. My two cents.

Not super excited about it. I like data and would like to see more, not less.

Thanks for the post. It actually fits great both directions, maybe even better the wrong way. ;) After noticing the 2 bumper holes on face didn’t match (one round and one slightly oval), I watched Kman’s and another’s video and noticed slightly larger, oval hole goes to the passenger side...

I’d drive down for a steak.

Mine are wearing great as in not at all. As long as you stay away from dark jeans you're golden.

oops. Here's the full length shot.

Hi guys. Decided to take on eco-hitch install and was going well until I cleaned up the steel bumper and forgot which side was top. Can anyone give me some insight into determining which end is up? Here are pics. One side is subtly different than the other. Thanks much for any help you can give me.

You and I do similar work.

Congrats! I think your value analysis is spot on. While the 3 is a blast to drive, it’s ride is far less refined than the S with air suspension. I’m taking a 1500 mile trip on Sunday, and while I could save a few minutes at supercharger time with the 3, I’m taking the S for its ride quality. The...
