At first glance free supercharging sounds great but it really isn't that big of deal. Once you start to use apps like plugshare you find out charging is easy and free at tons of locations. I almost always charge at home it easier and my time is worth more then sitting at a supercharger a few...

If I was you I would have returned used the 7 day return period if there was any issue like that on the drive home. Just no way would I even thought about a repair if there was any issue in the first 7 days. I would push for them to refund and or exchange the car. If they refuse get a lawyer...

I am in Florida, There is a process that needs to be followed and I filed complaints against them against state. It's long process and will take a while to resolve. They haven't released their lien and still have ownership of the permit and have not repair any damage. This is clearly against...

I had a similar thing but with solar panels. I am suing Tesla and made complaint with the state. no reason for the bs they did and any other contractor would lose their license in how they bid for business.

I don’t regret buying FSD but I think 10k is max I would pay. Once it gets above that the price is hard to justify At the end of the day it is the total price of the car your buying. The cars that GM, Lucid and Riveriaan are going to make it tough to charge much more for FSD and we are seeing...

The real question I have is how much do they expect they can charge. I think 10k is on the very edge of where I would buy it. Even if it fully functional driving car I would question paying more then 10k. We are years away from where this can pickup your kids and be a robotaxi. To be honest...

Instead of mounting on the glass your better off using either hitch mount or a trunk mount bike rack I used to use a Saris Bones 2 with prior cars. Bones 2-Bike Trunk Car Rack

there is nothing wrong per say about the model S. When I first seen the model 3 dash I have to admit it turned me off. Once I drove it though there simply was no comparison. now when I see a traditional dash it I don’t like It as it feels like a lot wasted space. Having most of the controls...

The main reason to not buy the S is because it been around since 2012. I personally like the model 3/y interior better I feel like it just a better design and to me feels more modern. I went and got a model Y because it has the room and also what I feel like a more modern updated design. To...

For the most part if you have a Tesla first choice is always a supercharger. They are simple to use and they work. But I also know EA is another option if I need it. They're also not the only other network I can use there are lots of options out there just look at plugshare. Fast charging...

Has nothing to do Tesla and how they build the charger. Based on what you hear on this forum and what I generally see with other level 2 chargers they are lot more reliable when you do not run them at max rated amps. You talking about 6 mph in additional charge. In the real world that is...

I have a gen 3 charger I have it set to 50amps because electrician didn't have 60amp break with him. Based on what I see and how hot the cable get's it better to run the charger at 40amps. Since I had the car and being able to stay at a few brand new hotels with destination chargers that with...

I am not sure they are such a good deal. Every other installer either installs micro inverters or better inverters then Tesla and they also offer better solar panels. the difference of those things alone is about 5-7k in my case this means a local installer is about 5-6k more. once you factor...

The cost of solar panels and equipment retails is about 12-15k for 16.32 kw system. so Tesla in theory has about 15k to cover costs. 5-7k should easily cover the costs of labor. So there making about 5-7k a job. Not super high margin but enough if they do volume. There also probably paying less...

Talk to other solar roof installers and get a quote. It's total BS they are giving you. They have a proprietary mount they want to use and if they have problems or if it entails extra work to do they bail. The mount is for very limited roof applications. Metal roofs should be pretty easy to...

It's not always that easy to get attorneys involved. In florida it's expected you need to try and work things out before you enter the legal system. The law though is pretty clear you have to complete a project if you begin and a contractor is supposed to be giving reasonable quotes. I...

You story is worse then mine. I would be hiring an attorney because you did work on anticipation of putting in solar panels. They are probably liable for the different it costs to install solar panels. Apparently they are doing bids and then abandoning projects if it costs them too much. I...

It just seems like they hired a bunch of people in Nevada to come with a simple install and figured the building codes are similar thought the country. Unless things change quick I don't think you're going to see Tesla install in florida very long. Even maintenance is very different we have to...

Something is very wrong with Tesla Energy in Florida. The problem is building codes are very strict in Florida especially for roof and they have no clue. It seems like the majority of problems are in Florida. I also think the solar industry in general has a lot problems with fraud. I think we...

Yes Local installers are about 10k more then Tesla original quote. All them can install them with no issues. Tesla sent me a email admitting that they know local installers can install without issues and that is the norm but they always offer reroofing to everyone because it last longer??? We...

I am wondering if anyone has someone higher in Tesla Energy I can contact. What is so crazy about this proposal is it 2 times the price of solar roof tiles. At the very least they should be telling me I should be installing solar roof tiles. Just idiots over there and honestly I think the...

They will claim it is a contract your obligated to complete if something goes wrong. I am trying to cancel after they decided to abandon my project and add 100k to the project costs. You truly don't know what the cost is until the install truck is there ripping up roof and electrical panel.

Take a look my thread they offered me solar panels 16kw for $127k at least they offered you solar tiles. The solar business is not going to last long with this sort of thing.

Actually I didn't get the full quote there charging $97399 to reroof a portion on my house. I live in a gated community I have to allow the engineer in and there was no one that inspected my roof. I even had a roofer look at the roof before they came since I had it cleaned prior to install. He...

I finally got a quote from them $40k they just added 10k to the install price. No details on why or anything. I am finding out a lot employee's will just say anything. I told him off and I said if I don't get anything soon I will be suing them and filing a complaint. I hate having to do that...

Still nothing from them. Interesting is I heard from Mosaic that I going to have to pay on the loan without install. I tried contacting tesla and there silent no quote and just nothing from them. So I guess I need to file a complaint to get their attention. No way to treat a customer.

It's been a week and still nothing from Tesla about what is going on???? At this point I would tell everyone to avoid Tesla energy for installing solar panels. You better off with a local installer. If I had put a big chunk of money down I would be calling the state and making a claim on there...

Batteries last for 300k miles at least that is what I been told and read. At 300k miles my expectations is the car will be worthless. I think that would be the no matter what car you buy. The truth is really any car you buy may blow up if you have 150k miles. I don’t keep cars over 100k miles...

The wall connector is worth every penny. It just works and I leave the mobile connector in the car. It’s the basically the same price as a mobile connector so you might as have a dedicated plug that is bit faster and is a little neater.

When you buy a car the deal you made when you drive it off the lot is the deal you made. I don’t know too many dealers out there who will refund money once a car drives off the lot. It sucks but that is life. I hate paying MSRP for anything but if I wanted a Tesla and I wanted a new one there...

I’ve found auto pilot works good when you have plenty of distance between everyone. If your driving in a congested area with ton of traffic at a high rate of speed then auto pilot is not very good. I also watch for people who tailgate which is an issue anytime you drive. A good example is I95...

If you want to do this go out and buy some land and install solar panels and feed it into the grid. You can wholesale electricity into the grid. In theory you should be able to offset your electricity costs. At the end of the day this is a business a lot people are doing. I seen people do...

Hmm same thing is happening to me they are wanting more money once crew arrives. But I am not doing the roof just solar panels.

I still haven't heard anything from Tesla. In the mean time I talked to a few local installers they all use a product called solar-stack which is for local building codes. I emailed Tesla about it and see what there response it. I was told also the other method actually may not be up to code...

I am actually using my logic on what I know about electric motors for industrial use. It makes a lot sense that Tesla puts in a electric motor capable of handling a lot more. We all know this do this because this software update actually exists now. I am also pretty sure we could see a lot...

Here is where I am having a problem with people saying it doesn't effect their range. If what your saying is true this means that the boost must be at higher levels. We are TALKING ABOUT THE SAME MOTORS since this isn't an actual part swap. so this must mean higher RPM's on the same motor. In...

I also love the Tasmanian floor mats. I know they have a plastic look but they work well and I love the trunk liner. I avoided rpm because it looked like shipping times were crazy. Personally I wouldn't worry about Tesla Accessories or really anyone other manufacture. Usually they just buy...

Actually my issue is more with corporate but you shouldn't just assume they are the same guys. I was told tesla has multiple crews in the area when they scheduled this. I was not kept in the loop very much and it's not a good situation this all on the installers. They also left what looks like...

If everything stays the same and you actually have more power this almost certainly means less range. Unless physics just doesn't apply. I assume they can achieve this via tweaking the software on the motor. Even if they tweaked this for the top range it is probably impossible to keep...

Make sure they can complete the work before they begin. Make sure they list any issues they see before they start any work. With Tesla they can pull them off the project anytime.

It's seems like a lot people just don't get what is so wrong about how this handled. So here is what is going on. The installers showed up very little interaction I found the Forman and confirmed the details. The contractor did not seem like they were local. They didn't have really any...

My roof is only 5 or 6 years old and is has the latest codes so yes we can survive 150 mph wind. I have extra tile and we can get extra tile. This is a very common install in here in South Florida. I understand they have to break maybe 100 tiles but as I said getting replacements should not...

I just called my rep I was told they need to replace the roof and will not just replace the tiles. I don't know if I am getting wrong advice but something is not right. I also told i am liable for expenses they spent on the project. If that is the case I will sue them. Can't believe how bad...

The roof is not a weird install at all I live in south florida so they use expanding foam on all of the roofs. It's given that tiles that tiles will be broken they also easily replaced. I got the impression the crew was not used of doing florida installs and might have been from out of state...

I was scheduled for today for a solar installation. I live in south florida and have a clay tile roof. Pretty common in this part of the country. Anyways they get on my roof and start removing tiles. Then ask if I have replacement and the next thing I know they stopped and cleaned everything...

wrong thread

I am thinking that there is no way this upgrade doesn't hit the range of the car. The performance model I believe is only 285 miles and big reason I did not get it. So I am thinking you need to consider losing 10-15 miles with this upgrade. I understand why people would buy it but Range is the...

Every Car manufacture does the same thing if the line is going to be held up. This includes Toyota. The big difference is if you have 20 factories and 20 different models chances are you have access to more spare parts then smaller manufactures like Tesla. This why sometimes cars have...

some of the posts here think Mercedes is the holy grail. Go to a Mercedes lot and look for cars with features like autopilot. they say they have them in brochures but you will be lucky to find them on the lot. The cars on the lot are usually base models and you might even find a car without...

Tesla pretty much already does what was stated in This article. Being able to sit in a traffic jam hands free is not at big of deal especially on the interstate. Lots of idiots just buy Mercedes based on a name and some people think there years ahead of everyone. well while they think that my...
