    Invertor showing production but Tesla app shows nada

    I have a 3 year old Tesla PV system, with a PW, and a Solaredge inverter (no LCD). Been working great until last month sometime. My inverter shows solid green, which supposed to mean production is good. But my Tesla app shows zero production since February. And I haven't sent any power back to...

    Social Media and Posts on here starting to give me anxiety.

    Its the same with all things in life. Social media and Google can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Next time try Googling "I have a headache, what's Wrong?" It'll prob tell you that you have 3-6 months to live. Enjoy life my friend. YOLO. Get the Tesla.

    What did you sell/trade for your 3?

    Sold my 2020 MYLR for $10k more than I paid for it (see avatar). It was an early build and was unsatisfied with all the rattles and stuff. Got a 2022 M3P which we enjoy 100x more. Driving dynamics, fit and finish, and them awesome Uberturbines.

    2019 M3P Buy Opportunity

    A little clarification on this... "total cumulative tax that you have paid throughout the year" equals your tax withheld in your paycheck, which really has nothing to do with your total tax liability. Here's an example: TAXABLE INCOME = $100,000 TAX...

    Has the M3P ruined me?

    ha! imagine us... our commuter is the M3P, and our weekend and family hauler are a 4Runner and a lifted Tacoma. talk about dogs.

    2021 Model 3 Performance quality review

    I've had my 2022 black M3P and I'm pretty happy with it. Drives great. Wish the suspension was a touch lower and stiffer. But I can fix that. Really only two gripes: 1) everyone and their grandma drives a 3/Y in the Bay Area. 2) not fond of Elon. Such is life.

    Stupid me, ordered the wrong car. Tesla will not fix it.

    I dunno, hard to have any sympathy. Model 3 is $60k while Model X is over $100k. It says it on the confirmation page. Quite the oversight, no? But I do agree Tesla should extend an olive branch and get you switched. It can't be that hard. Keep calling and asking for different people. I talked...

    Just got my first full year true up bill today

    So pleasantly surprised. $125 I owe for the year. I'm in Northern California with 14kw solar + 1 Powerwall. Great production, panels face south with unobstructed lines to the sun. Also have a M3P which I charge about every 3-4 nights for the past year. We aren't particularly conservative with...

    Unsure if model 3 would be right for me - advice appreciated

    Boom! This one. Too many people on here posting rationales for buying the Tesla. Certainly if you have the means and want it, go get it. Life is short. Life is not all about finances. Sometimes you just need to go and enjoy life.

    Black Model 3s. Tint or no tint? Anybody have pics?

    Pinnacle 25 doors and rear. Air80 windshield. Maybe it's the angle but I swear it's much darker in person.

    Can finally post here. With Pinnacle 20. I promise you it's a lot darker in person.

    Looks great! But are you sure that's 20 out back? Sure looks real dark. Looks more like 5. Still struggling with what to tint mines. 35 too light but 20 too dark.

    This is all good info. Is there a button on screen where you could do it manually?

    For those with, how close do you have to be for it to open? I reverse in like 95% of the time. You think it'll work?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Ok, so as a follow up, I got a home delivery on my black M3P. Delivery was pretty much flawless. Car was almost perfect. Gaps are fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. A few small scuffs on lower bumper that should buff out. Pretty happy with this one. Oh and yes, I have matrix lights.

    Maybe around 4/20 or so. VIN to delivery was pretty long. I live near Fremont.

    Well ladies and gents, the time has come. Tesla called and they're delivering the car tomorrow. To my house. And I live like 5 min from a service center. She said they need to get cars off the lot. It was nice knowing you. Good luck to all. Ordered 3/5. Black on black m3p

    Amen to this. A lot of people seem to think debt is the devil, but when used wisely is such an awesome tool. I'm still able to get in the low 2% for a car note, and you bet I'll finance this car. Either the market is way too low to sell some equities, or it's the perfect time to snap up some...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Same here. Was so ready to buy an Ioniq5 but got tired of dealers dicking me around with random packages and arbitrary markups. Reason why I went back to Tesla. Price is set for everyone. Click and wait. 2 more weeks for me ... I hate dealers so much

    Insurance rates for M3

    Everyone's situation is gonna be different, but here's mine for context. Increase in $325 for the period for MP3. Maxed out liabilities, $500 deductibles. 2 other ice cars. 40s good record good credit. Bay Area.

    You are in the Bay. Don't cancel. I highly doubt you'll wait until July. You don't even have the car yet and you already have some nice equity. I have a sneaky feeling factory deliveries are being pushed due to lack of space. I sent mines to Dublin and they have a decent large overflow lot...

    Any owners that have owned both the black and the white interiors? Have questions

    Any owners that have owned both the black and the white interiors? Have questions

    I had black and liked it. Drove my cousin's White interior and while it looked nice, it was too bright during the day and created this glare for me on the windshield. I'd get tired of it I think.

    Ok, it only took an act of Congress, but I got them to make the switch at the old pricing. I contacted Tesla no less than 5 separate occasions, but finally got someone through text that knew the updated policy. I even called my local store and the guy that answered was so adamant that I would...

    Experiences so far in trying to sell a Tesla Model 3 LR RWD

    True, but dealers also have overhead that us individuals don't have.

    Another price increase tonight [04/06/2022]

    It didn't give me an option to change. But I'm out of town and of course they assign my VIN for the LR the day I start vacation. I think that's why. I'm gonna give up this VIN and see if I can change it to a P after.

    Another price increase tonight [04/06/2022]

    Ok, update - After selling my MYLR to Driveway for $60k, I watched out for it on their website. It took them a while to get the title and prep the car for sale. And kuods to them, because they bought it pre price hike, and sold after the latest round of hikes. It lasted about a week until it...
