I got an estimate from Kenwood the other day. $2500 and a 2 month wait for a minor repair. Ouch. Total Recon is a pain to even set up an estimate. I guess these guys have more work than they need. I am still looking.

My record high is 100 - driving when there was nobody around on suburban back roads. My record low is 16 - driving on highways with bad traffic. I did not use the brakes at all (just regen) even though people were switching lanes like crazy. I cannot imagine folks can consistently get good...

I confirmed it was not a scam. Since then, I have noticed my charger performance is lousy - charging very slowly sometimes and stopping sometimes. There is no indication of the cause. In any event,Tesla is sending me a replacement. Of course, they are sending it by pony express so I wait. If...

Has anyone received an email like the one below? It is from [email protected]. Not sure if it is a scam. I am going to look into it next week. My charger might not be acting right. It seemed to take 2-3 hours longer to charge the other night. Since then, all seems to be fine...

I use Mobile One services. Very happy with the service.

I read stories about automated car washes and Tesla not being a good match. I am not sure how much I believe the stories but I also hate washing cars as it was family time while my friends went off to have fun when I was a kid. This led me to Mobile One Services. They come to my house and hand...

My MY heater went out 2 weeks ago. The heat would work when I started driving and then would just stop, only blowing cold air until I “shut off” the car for a while. They thought it was a bad “Bridgeport sensor” but then determined that it was the super manifold. Warranty item, 1day service...

Thanks for enlightening me. This is a subtlety that I will have to investigate. I did like the car not trying to stop at every green light though!

I had a loaner M3 with autopilot this week (heater stopped working on my MY). The 1st thing I noticed while on autopilot was traffic lights did not appear on the display. Then I noticed that the car did not stop automatically at green lights (which I liked a lot). Then I noticed that the car...

I have seen this also. There is a road I take daily and at certain spots, it hugs the center line around turns Almost like it turns too late - not a good idea. It might be the center line is better marked. I will check. On a related note, they just added an island on this stretch of road and...

When I want to be aggressive in a tough situation, I do not use FSD. I take control and floor it. Regarding automatic lane changes, when it gets somewhat crowded, FSD sometimes starts to change lanes and then aggressively swerves back. Hopefully this new FSD that EM has promised does better.

I bought the upgrade on Sat, just to tool around fast for the weekend. I could not bring myself to cancel it. It is definitely noticeably faster. Take the dive -buy it. It is only money and you can’t take a brinks truck to the cemetery.

I always wipe down wipers with white vinegar on a paper towel It cleans the dirt/etc. off the wipers eliminating/reducing streaks and extends their life.

Passed several cars on the interstate the other day and was still accelerating at 120. Very smooth. I wonder what the range penalty is at120.

I was waiting for weather tech forever, gave up and got max spiders on rpmTesla. Fast turnaround on the order -less than a week.

I just tired the code and no dice. Anyone know of other codes?

My experience is that FSD is loathe to cross the center line for anything. I have come within an inch or so of mirrors of cars parked on the side of the road several times. Any driver would just momentarily cross the center line to give a good gap. i also no longer use FSD on congested...

On a recent trip, several times after I hit the turn signal stock, the car would start changing lanes, abruptly and momentarily swerve back into my original lane and then changes lanes. There were no cars in my Immediate vicinity. It was fairly unnerving. Hopefully this imminent FSD update...

When I bought my LR MY, my sales rep thought maybe at the end of the year or whenever Tesla sells enough MYs that the extra cash infusion would boost their revenue. He said $2K or $3K for the price.

Last weekend I drove from the DC area to PA and back. ~170mi each way. Supercharged at the beginning of my way back. With the autopilot on 80 mph, I got 305 Wh/mi on the way up and 292 Wh/mi on the way back. I am wondering if the difference was due to elevation change. Because of the speed, I...

Doable in the short term (e.g. software): - have a 360 degree camera view, like many other cars and show the front view - unfold the mirrors earlier. Mine open too late despite my attempts to change the setting - allow more, smaller windows on the screen simultaneously - show instantaneous...

S3XYCarMD, Looks great. Where did you get this done? I am in the Bethesda area and am looking. Hopefully you got it done nearby for a reasonable price. I appreciate any information.

I started with Carvana. I entered my car information via their website and got a prompt quote. It seemed low so I went to KBB and got a quote for $1.5K more than Carvana. Then I looked on Craig’s List, saw what others in my area were asking for the same car, knocked $1K off the price of the most...

I cannot imagine that a 3rd row would fit 2 adults in a Model Y. I thought that the 3rd row in the X was small. Also, there cannot be very much, if any, luggage space with the 3rd row I have always wanted a full size, 3 row EV SUV. I got tired of waiting and got the Model Y. I am super...

We go through at least a tire per year due to nails from construction on our three cars. I have been thinking about getting a spare for our Tesla to avoid waiting for roadside assistance. Where do you store the spare? Does it fit in the space under the trunk floor?

The tech installing my homelink today said that he expects Tesla to issue a bulletin to retrofit the shroud to any cars that did not come off the line with it. Maybe if you complain, you can get to the front of the line, but i am waiting fro the bulletin. It is not an issue that bothers me...

I cannot see how adults would fit back there with a 3rd row. Also, with a 3rd row there cannot be anything left for luggage, etc.

I got this type of error after i updated to 24.6.4. The app would not connect. I rebooted both the car and the phone and everything was fixed.

Great idea. How often did you have to use the brakes on the way down? Can you regen all the way down?

I just had my homelink installed. During the installation, the tech checked and i do not have the "shroud" (tech's term) installed (vin 12xxx, June 18 delivery). He told me that he expects Tesla will be sending out a bulletin to those with early deliveries and people can schedule to have the...

I had that issue with the “points” as well, but mine look like the lesser of the 2. The SC said they could not fix it. Maybe I need to ask again when they install my homelink.

They probably shifted to a "deliver as many as possible by the end of the month" approach. I hope your car is a good one.

When considering a Tesla, I drove the X and 3 with the 3 being “similar” To the Y. I liked the X better for many reasons that people state. I purchased the Y for 3 reasons: 1. The Y is ~$35K less 2. X does not easily fit in my garage -width issue 3. The Y is ~$35K less.

Anyone have a good recommendation? I appreciate any advice.

An update on my Tesla delivery and now 1st service experience.... My car was in good shape when I took delivery so maybe I was lucky, but it did have some issues. I put in a service request to 1. align the rear hatch 2. align the tail lights (minor misalignment) 3. fix front panels that...

My passenger side rear seat was a bit higher than the middle/right seats when I took delivery. I had them fix it. Now both the driver and passenger side seats are slightly higher than the middle. To me, this was a reasonable compromise as the seats are now symmetric.

yes, that was mine.

I picked up my blue/black, LR, FSD, 20” on Thu in MD. Paint looks good. Rear hatch, tail light and rear passenger seat alignment issues like everyone else that I will have them fix.

I posted my touch less delivery experience in the “....happy with their car” thread. It was definitely a new car buying experience. I was disappointed in how it went down. Good to know about the 24 hour comment. The rear hatch and rear seats need to be aligned. Having said that, we are...

I got it today. You saw mine getting prepped for sure. I posted my comments in the “....happy with your car” thread. We are super happy. It is a blast to drive. Minor fit/finish issues that I will request they fix. Odd delivery experience compared with my previous cars.

I just took delivery today. I posted some detailed comments on another thread. As for final payment, I used a check and 3rd party loan. I completed the paperwork and gave them the checks after they gave me my car. And they didn’t even look over my paperwork and checks to make sure I did it...

Picked up my Blue/black, LR, FSD, 20" wheels, vin 12xxx today. Ordered on 5/1. In short, we are ecstatic, even with the delivery experience that i describe below. I had to do an abbreviated walk through, but did not see anything terrible. The paint looks good, but i will go over it with a...

Blue/black, LR, FSD, 20” Ordered 1 May Vin 7 Jun Text 12 Jun Pick up 18 Jun Rockville MD location

Whoops, sorry. I see it now. Case sensitive issue on the search.

In the source code, i see: "Vin":null

I have been lurking on here for a while and finally got confused enough about the ordering process to weigh in with my story. I ordered a blue/black, LR, FSD, 20" MY on 5/1. I noticed yesterday that my "manage your order" page changed and there was an MVPA dated 6/7. On the MVPA is my vin...
