    Recommendation request: Indianapolis body shop

    The Tesla certified body shop in Zionsville (Connan's) has a 2 month wait. I need some rocker panel dent repair and rust repair. Probably ppf and mud flap installation too. Thanks.

    Tesla deletes cheap Cybertruck from its website

    You fail to realize I have no education in finance and hyperinflation is my OWN word to describe what I'm seeing at my local grocery stores, gas stations, Tesla prices and so on. I don't care what the technical definition of hyperinflation is because I make money in a completely different...

    Cybertruck

    Can the CT crouch down with it's air suspension and fit in a garage door that is 6ft tall?

    Tesla deletes cheap Cybertruck from its website

    But around that time they were talking about new battery technology that would decrease costs, so a $40k CT was conceivable. It was also before hyper inflation that we've seen in the last 6 months.

    Recommend Indianapolis area bodyshop

    I have a rocker panel dent from curbing. Unknown if further damage to under body. I'm new to Indy and have no connections. No idea what shops to go with.

    No experience with this. Minor dent incurred. Please guide me on getting it fixed.

    The car is 7000 miles old. I plan to keep it for a few more years and then trade it in to get a Cybertruck. My tire went up over a curb and then the car came back down and hit the curb I guess. My main goal is to preserve the value of the car as much as I can before trade in. I do have accident...

    Rocker panel damaged, need advice.

    I ran over a curb today. Do I pay out of pocket or do an insurance claim in your opinion? How much do you think it would cost? Thank you.

    UMC_a001 Inadequate outlet grounding

    I don't understand how electrical systems work. The garage door opens without fail, the lights work, and my EGO battery charger always charges those batteries. The outlet used to charge my Tesla for the last 4 months. The outlets still have power too. But they don't have "ground". Isn't ground...

    UMC_a001 Inadequate outlet grounding

    This error always come up when I plug in at my garage. All three outlets in my garage behave the same way. For months, it would begin charging an hour or so after I plug it in. Now, it seems to not be charging. Red blinking light on the mobile charging cable thing. Error code is umc_a001...

    UMC_a001 Inadequate outlet grounding

    My outlets are regular 5-15 slow charge style. Purchased an SR+ in December. Saw this error 3-4 times but it goes away the next day and charges as normal. The detached garage has 3 outlets, one on each wall, and they all behave the same way, making me think it isn't an outlet problem. The wiring...

    Weekly ONR Wash + OptiSeal Will Mean I Don't Need To Buy Mudflaps?

    The reason why people think that is because there is no definitive guide that explains everything. You have to google and read countless opinions and anecdotes. Very few things in the detailing world seem unanimous. I am on board with getting mud flaps but two things come to mind. 1.) If this...

    Weekly ONR Wash + OptiSeal Will Mean I Don't Need To Buy Mudflaps?

    I'm asking because before buying the car I was so worried about buying mudflaps. To those that don't have them, after a few years is your car all messed up from not having them? Paint chipping off the side skirts? Rust? Possibly they are not necessary as long as you stay on top of washing the...

    Phone Key Pairing Issues (OnePlus)

    Ya, I came to that conclusion too. I ordered a Oneplus 7t for only $349 shipped. Should be a big difference from the Oneplus One.

    Did anyone ever come to any conclusions here? I am still using the Oneplus One! Everything with the car and the phone works fine except Phone As A Key.

    Phone key help

    I am having the same issue. The number one solution I've found is to go in your phone's settings, under battery, and look for battery optimization. The Tesla app might be going to sleep if it has this enabled. So try turning it off. Unfortunately, this method did not work for me. Others...

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    I've only installed the driver side mat so far, but the 2021 Maxpider Kagu fits perfectly, and I am very picky and notice details. Autoanything had them for $160 which is like 40-50 cheaper than Amazon. They do have a selection for the 2021 version.

    What are the best mud flaps for the M3?

    Top concerns are mud flaps that rub against your paint Ones that create pockets for debris to be collected Too big that causes bottoming out The various contour to your car ones on Amazon are out. I don't think those will ever work unless someone designs one with some padding so it never digs...

    What Extension Cord Do I Need For 14-30 Drier Outlet

    This cord you linked to seems to be exactly what I need. Why does this not come up on google?

    What Extension Cord Do I Need For 14-30 Drier Outlet

    The obvious answer is that I need one that is 14-30 on both ends, 30 amp, and for my case 25-30'. The problem is that they don't sell one of these for a reasonable price of less than $100. The Camco 25', 50 amp 14-50 cord is $100. So why do I want to pay $125 for AC Works 14-30 cord which uses...

    Is there a legal reason why Carolina must send stuff through regular mail? I did my mortgage through 100% email and digital signatures. What happens if your Tesla is ready and waiting at the delivery center and you don't have financing prepared yet? Can I pay in cash and do financing later?

    This is making me nervous. People are just now starting to take delivery of the refreshed 2021's and Tesla txted me today saying VINs will soon arrive for me. I was putting off setting up financing with Carolina until the 11/16/20 because my estimated delivery is 11/25-12/16. Maybe I should get...

    Best Tires For Comfort and Efficiency?

    The TireRack is probably the best place to buy tires because they have the most knowledge and will help you with a question like this. I've been to their HQ in South Bend. They even have a race track where they do testing.

    When is the best time to setup financing? I ordered an M3 on the 21st of October. The status says, "We are drafting up your contract and will contact you when you can make your final payment." Should I setup financing tomorrow, or wait til I get a delivery date?

    Premium Connectivity

    You'll get throttled to speeds where you can't stream anything even at 144p, and you can barely load a basic website like Ebay. More like 128kbps, or twice as fast as 56k, but it's still unusable unless for an emergency and you are willing to wait for basic stuff to load.

    My first winter

    I figured I'd see how I liked using just 120v 5-15 charging but cold weather has me a bit nervous. Thinking I might have to upgrade to 240v. My commute is like 25 mi daily but I'm guessing I will want to do more driving since it will be fun.

    What date did you finish configuration? Do you plan to setup financing after you receive the VIN since if you setup today your rate lock would expire by December? I'm trying to figure out when the best time is to setup financing.

    Can you expand on this? Carolina doesn't require you to direct deposit your salary like DCU? Am I correct on the joining the ncconsumer.org for $20?
  39. M

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    You have to do the direct deposit to get the 1.99, if not, they add .50 to that number. Then of course since it's an EV, they can take .25 off that. So if no direct deposit, it'd be 2.24.

    PPF, consistent weekly washing, midwest rust prevention methods

    I want to buy a Model 3 SR+ for $37,995. Does anyone know the exact total I will need to finance in order to cover the fees and tax? I'm in IN so tax is 7%. It looks like you add that tax and also the $1,200 destination and doc fee. For a total of $41,849.3. Does that sound right?

    Why is insurance so high?!?
