    Referral plan changed after order and Tesla gave lower referral credit

    Referred a friend who purchased a Model S. When he placed the order, I received a message from Tesla stating that 20,000 points were pending. During the wait time for pick up of the S, the program changed, dropping to 10,000. However, the original posting from Tesla never changed or updated. In...

    Supercharger Full

    On a return trip from Upstate NY yesterday and pulled into an almost full set of Superchargers. While changing, the final two stalls were filled with non-Tesla’s. When a few more Tesla drivers came along and saw this, they were not happy. Making things worse, these Supercharger newbie’s took a...

    Rattles, Rattles…Everywhere

    Relatively early adopter with a September 2020 build. Currently at 37000 miles and never needed to bring the car in for major service. I think it is a tremendous car that balances practicality with fun. However, in all my years of driving, 40 plus, I have never owned a car that rattles so...

    Preconditioning for fast charging, worth it?

    Over the past couple of winter months, I have driven relatively long distances for skiing. In each case, the car has automatically put itself into the Preconditioning mode as my set navigation was to a Supercharger. While I understand the reasoning behind the preconditioning, I have also noticed...

    Heat Consistency Worse After Update

    I’d say that climate control in my 2020 Y has never been great, but since recent updates they appear to be worse. My Y does an excellent job of pre-heating and mostly keeps the car warm at slow speeds. However, when I get on a highway or drive above, say 35-40, cool and sometimes cold air can be...

    Car Parked for Week Unplugged

    Just left MY unplugged for a week while I was camping. Turned off sentry, WiF, and cabin cooling over 100. Granted it was parked in a cool spot, but I only lost 1%. I will no longer stress out about future prospects.

    Strange Flapping Sound above 70 mph.

    Started noticing this strange flapping sound the other day while on the highway. It is almost like there is something loose that when the conditions are right begins to flutter. It definitely sounds like it is coming from outside the car. It can also intensify at times when a truck or car drives...

    Small nail in tire

    Brought my car in today to stop a slow leak. Turns out there is a small nail pretty much in the center of the tire. Supposedly the nail goes through the rubber and into the foam. They say they cannot repair this and will need a new tire. Does anyone have any experience with this or advice?

    Glovebox Opening?

    Pretty specific gripe here, unless I’m missing something (which could easily be the case). I was at a Supercharger yesterday, watching Netflix. Decided to have a snack. Now I keep extra napkins in my glovebox. But when I wanted to open it up, I could find no way except to stop stop the movie...

    Replace old center console with new?

    I currently own a MY that came with a nicked console, needing replacement. My question is whether anyone in the M3 community has had a new console installed into a car that originally had the old version? If this is possible, I might hold out till the new console comes to the Y and then get the...

    Yakima Rack?

    I know this is a shot in the dark, but I have a full Yakima rack set up. They have not designed the BaseClip yet for the Model Y, but do have the BC173 for the Model 3. With winter on our doorstep, I am trying to figure out my ski rack options. Does anyone have an opinion on whether the roof...

    Down hill regen?

    Today I was going down a long down sloped hill, probably for a 4-5 miles. With the regen working, I could not really coast as I did with my Prius Prime. I had to keep some pressure on the accelerator at all times. This varied based on the grade of the hill of course. As I am a fairly new MY...

    Windshield Wiper Fluid not coming out

    Tried to use my windshield wiper fluid to clear some grime and I’m getting nothing. I know it’s filled because I filled it (needs fluid prompt came on as I drove home from pick up...sheesh). Also, I can hear the fluid dispenser motor when I push the left wand. I have set up a home service...

    Setting at 60-70%

    Sorry if this has been addressed, I was unable to find it. I’m not driving much these days and so I really only need 10-20 miles most days. Is there any benefit or detriment to setting my daily charging level below 80 percent? Thanks

    Bluetooth Phone volume fluctuations

    Hi, new owner here. I have had several phone conversations so far with my Bluetooth enabled car and iPhone. The phone hooks up fine and my conversations start out great, but then, all of a sudden, the volume from the person I have called or called me drops so low I can hardly hear them. Have...

    Taptes Hub...mostly working.

    New car, new hub. After some manipulation and luck, I was able to install the Taptes Hub. All the ports seem to be working except the hidden USB A port for sentry. Since I’m new to game, I’m wondering if I’m just not doing this right or maybe there is an issue with using a mini Sd card with...

    Last of the 2020’s

    Received my VIN about a week ago, 50xxx. I currently do not have date set for pick up. My order is for a Blue/black long range with tow. I see the 2021’s are already coming and there seems to be no deal with the passing of September for 2020’s. I’m conflicted having a VIN that appears pretty...

    Trade in and Payment

    I know I’ve seen a post on this before, but I was unable to find it. I have a VIN, 50xxx, but no specific pickup date as of yet. I am trading in a car and obviously must pay off the rest. Since they may adjust the amount for my trade based on inspection, can I bring a personal check for the...

    Delivery Now 7-11 Weeks

    Just looked at ordering page. The delivery time jumped from 2-4 to 7-11 weeks. Something must be happening.
