    EZ Pass Green Discount Plan

    Has anyone successfully enrolled in the NJ EZ Pass Green Discount Plan? Sounds like they want you to write them a physical letter requesting to be added to this program (What year is this again?) :: Plan Descriptions and Discounts :: Do you get a new, special tag of some sort? How do they know...

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    Just a quick update. I've had my car for over a week now and not a single nuisance trip has occurred at the GFCI breaker. Also pleased to report that my electrical inspection went smoothly and the inspector was 100% satisfied with the work I did =]

    New Jersey Waiting Room

    There are charging issues with the new iPhone's with several companies wireless charging pads, including Apple's own new MagSafe charger. I personally experienced this and can tell you that you need to 1. Make sure your phone is updated to the very latest firmware as Apple starting implementing...

    New Jersey Waiting Room

    Not to defend them for missing this, but when sitting in the backseat you really couldn't notice it. I got on my hands and knees to look underneath the seats and such which is when it became wildly obvious. They went into the back to see if they even had a full console kit to steal the panel...

    New Jersey Waiting Room

    Picked up my 2021 Model Y LR White with Black Interior on Saturday 7th. Been a crazy week but I wanted to share my experience picking up from Paramus. First off, everyone that I interacted with with extremely nice and honest. My Tesla Advisor was wonderful and not disturbed at all by my long...

    Pink foam under the car

    Just picked mine up on Saturday and noticed this as well. Pretty much around the entire perimeter for me. Was told it weather seals the battery and not to worry about it but I reported it on my service appointment nonetheless.

    aero cover storage options?

    I intend to take the aero covers off of my Gemini wheels pretty much immediately and would love a safe way to store the aero covers for when I need them. What is the best storage option?

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    PSA for everyone considering doing this. After finding that Home Depot is completely out of stock and calling over a 1/2 dozen electrical supply houses in my region I've learned that there is currently a national shortage for these GFCI breakers. They normally sell for $94 at your standard home...

    Any Issues Using GFCI Breakers for Charging Circuit?

    Now that it's been 9 months do you still have no issues with tripping?

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    So after your comment and further research I've come to the decision that I will be replacing the breaker with a GFCI unit. Regardless of what the inspector does or doesn't know, it is the right thing to do for safety sake and compliance with the current code in my area. The question I have at...

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    That is a great point! I did think about this, but to be honest I am waiting to have the UMC in hand to see how much flex I have and what the best solution is. I will be sure to update this post with some pics once I have something to show.

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    So much for trusting the inspector smh. I do understand the physics of it, just was under the impression that the inspector would know best. Guess we'll see what he says when he comes by. He didn't sound super familiar with EV's when I mentioned that was what the install was for. Maybe he'll do...

    Ordered 9/21 but just informed my Tesla Advisor that I'm ready for delivery today. Asked for an estimate on delivery and was told "no idea" lol. Anyone got a date for a similar config? LR AWD White/Black with Gemini Wheels and Tow Hitch

    Need for screen protector?

    Thanks everyone for the recommendations! Seeing as I do have a young kid I'll probably opt for the screen protector. $40 on a $50,000 car is a worthy insurance policy for sure. Abstract Ocean's screen protector does seem very nice. Whats the main con of going Matte vs HD?

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    Yea I will thanks. I didn't install it yet but I'll be putting in a bracket for the UMC body and a nice cable holder.

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    1. I did in fact get a permit for this work 2. I saw mixed info on the use of GFCI breakers due to the outdoor nature of the receptacle but I asked the permit office/inspector and was told it was not required, just to be sure that I got a UL outdoor approved box. The UMC has a GFCI in it which...

    Need for screen protector?

    How necessary is a screen protector? See a lot of people talking about them but what are the main reasons for needing one? Also, what are some of the best quality options?

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    Thanks! If you aren’t comfortable with it definitely best to hire a pro. To be fair I am an electrical engineer so I have a bit more understanding of this stuff then the average person, but my work focuses on very small circuit design not home electrical systems so I still have to do my research...

    14-50 Outdoor Install

    Just finished installing NEMA 14-50 outdoor receptacle for charging in anticipation of my Model Y delivery. You can save a lot of money doing this yourself if your particular situation isn’t too complicated and you are confident in basic electrical skills. Worst part is dealing with the...

    Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit on Model Y Gemini Wheel

    I'm aware that they sell a Model Y kit now, but as I mentioned these only come in silver and I think the black looks much better. I'm leaning towards getting the Model Y in Pearl White at this point and with all the beautiful black trim/accents I just think it'll complement the overall aesthetic...

    Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit on Model Y Gemini Wheel

    Yea I did notice a lot of people going to Amazon for kits. I'm weary about the quality and materials of these kits. Is the Tesla kit plastic or something else? Any recommendations on a 3rd party kit that's decent quality (good fit, looks, etc)?

    Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit on Model Y Gemini Wheel

    Anyone know if the Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit that Tesla sells will fit the Model Y Gemini Wheel? I know they released a Model Y Gemini Wheel Cap Kit but it's silver and personally I think the black would look much better. Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit

    NJ EV Vehicle Rebate Budget Cut

    So I called them and just as others have noted they were a pleasure to speak with. They noted that at this time they have not reached a limit on funds and are continuing to process applications. Sounds like they intend to warn the public in some capacity if they do get close to some Max, but it...

    NJ EV Vehicle Rebate Budget Cut

    I went for a test drive yesterday of the Model Y and am planning to place an order in the beginning of October. After the drive my Tesla Advisor e-mailed me the following note... "if you wanted to take delivery this month, you would need to place your $100 by tonight. Orders placed after may...
