I have had the same exact issue in my 2021. I thought it was speaker too because of the way it sounded, but I am pretty sure that it is the dash creaking when expanding and contracting when HVAC turns on. I believe it is this because I hear it only when the car turns on and there is a large...

Quite serendipitously, yesterday I had the side windows and windshield tinted, but the shop didn't get the large roll delivered in time so the back window has to wait till next week to get tinted. Side window are 3M Ceramic 25% and windshield is 70%. One thing I might suggest is to have the...

Still available? I can pick up too, no need to ship. Have you lowered your asking price?

I sold my 2020 SR+ to Carvana for $34k and bought a new one for $34,190 after the NJ rebate. Was a no brainer. My wife loves the new interior so much more (she hated the fingerprints and stupid cover that we never closed over the phones). I really think the heat pump makes a nice difference for...

It is definitely has more to do with the cost to repair and not the susceptibility to damage. Tesla’s are extremely expensive to repair because they don’t let 3rd party body shops to repairs. That is why there is a big “right to repair” movement in many states about manufactures being forced to...

I just picked up my 2021 today and I actually called the SC when I got home because I thought the little tray under the armrest was missing, turns out that the 2021s don’t come with the removable tray, but the delivery person said that there will be a tray available in the near future from the...

Yeah, from what I can see they can. A Model Y can go over 325 miles on 78 kWh battery compared to VWs new ID.4 which has a 250 mile range with an 82 kWh battery. I would say that is statistically significant. The only car company I have seen that challenges Tesla’s efficiency is Lucid but they...

I think it it is for the same reason that Apple does post specs on their devices, the software and hardware are developed together so efficiently that posting capacities and power numbers would look underwhelming compared to competitors even though it outperforms. At the end of the day do you...

I mounted mine on the little flat spot behind the center screen and the wood dash. It is completely out of view from all passengers but is visible from outside the car, and I have never had an issue with EZ Pass not reading it.

Not sure about the technical terms you used, but when I went to pick up the car from the store one of the documents I had to sign was to agree to exempting sales tax. I remember this specifically because the sales advisor said something along the lines of, "Sign this for the sales tax...

yes!?!... to what? Yes, it is software optimization? Yes, it is new batteries/motor? Yes, powertrain is the same but has a new rating because of the new more efficient heater?

Unfortunately I don't have the time to read through the 36 pages of posts before this, so I don't know if someone already asked this. Anyway... What is the reason behind the 13 mile range increase? Is it software optimization that will be pushed to my 2020 SR+? Is it a new rating because of the...

I'm thinking the same thing as the OP but I have a 2020 from Dec 19' with 11k miles on it. However, in NJ electric cars have no sales tax and they now have a $5,000 state tax credit that I didn't the first time (because it wasn't a thing until Jan 20'). For fun I requested a trade in a month...

What is the most optimal speed for a Model 3 on a road trip? I have been trying to figure out the answer before a cross country road trip and it is not a simple question. Traditionally, with an ICE car the faster the better because they can refuel at +6,000 miles of range per hour. But speeding...

As long as the car is awake it will send power to the plug. So sentry mode, opening the app on your phone, sitting in it... all those things that keep it from going into deep sleep will keep the outlet powered.

Reviving this thread... I am road tripping next month and need to be able to maintain a charge for my 16" MacBook Pro. It looks like people have suggested Anker chargers, but has anyone tried the Satechi 72W USB-C Car Charger? It is the most powerful car charger on the market that I can find. I...

Thanks, good to know, that will save me some money not doing the roof window.

Thank you that would be helpful! The tint shop guy was saying that 3M crystalline is the best for UV but quoted me $1,000 for glass surfaces and unfortunately that is too rich for my blood. It would be good to know that they all have UV protection, then I could get a cheaper tint just for the heat.

I have been scouring through threads but have not been able to find a recent one talking about updated 2019/2020 cars so I figured I would ask, do new models have IR (heat) blocking and/or UV protection? I called a shop about getting tints installed later this week and asked about UV protection...

My wife and I will be going to SoCal this summer from NJ and are seriously considering driving rather than flying, especially since we could then bring our 2 dogs. The question is, should I take my new Model 3 SR+ or take my trusty old 2002 4Runner that has already made the trip before. I know...

Well I had to pay $1,800 for my 1970s panel to be upgraded to 200 Amp... plus the cost of 50ft of heavy duty wire and a wall charger which I installed myself.

From my personal experience in ICE cars and more limited experience in my new Model 3, cruise control is always LESS efficient than human feel. Although speed is more constant, engine power is not. Driving on the highway you will find that although your pedal movement is minimal, your speed...

Going back to my original post, question 1 has been answered thoroughly by everyone, thank you. I still haven't gotten much help in filling for the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (Form 8911). Where can I find this on TurboTax? If I need to I will abandon TurboTax for another...

How do you see the form preview that you speak of? I didn’t know you could do that?

I am working on filling my taxes on TurboTax and have two questions. 1. I purchased my Model 3 in December so I qualify for the $1,875 rebate, do I enter $1,875 or $7,500? Someone on a past thread using H&R system said they had to enter $7500 and it automatically adjusted to the 1/4th amount...

Any idea how someone acts on the $500 in-home charging incentive or the 30% federal charger install? I just got delivery in December and am charging with the mobile connector (with zero issues) but if I can get a wall connector paid for I would love one so the mobile connector can stay in the...

Just confirming this is a OEM Tesla spoiler, not an aftermarket one... If so I might be interested.
