Do yourself a huge favor and do not put winters on and off. Just buy cheap dedicated winter wheels. Leave the tires on them and swap. Been doing that on all of my cars for decades. Ultimately cheaper/faster/easier and in my control and on my schedule. And it makes it really easy for me to use...

They are available over the counter at Tesla parts. The part number is: 1472872-00-B, but now I think the newest version of the part is 1472872-00-C Yes, I broke mine too. PITA.

Yes they are. I am back in town and able to show them/transact

Hi, they are still available. I only have one wrinkle, which is timing. I had to travel for a family emergency and I will not be back in the Bay Area until 6/7. If you have the flexibility to wait until that week, then I can grab the set from my storage, you can inspect, etc. Let me know if...

$2750 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance 20" Uberturbine summer wheel and tire package removed from the vehicle with 75 miles on them. Perfect condition. I swapped to my winter wheels immediately after delivery - I was one of those Norcal 11:49pm on 12/31 deliveries ! I have separate winter and...

Strange, I ordered and received one recently from Tesla and it fits just fine.

Let me see if I can find the thread. I could not find someone making it. Just the models so I had it printed. It was not cheap to print with the highest quality heat resistant plastics but it was a perfect repair. I wonder if you can find someone on the site with a printer who would be willing

I don’t think so. That looks quite different than the replacement. If you watch the YouTube video you can see exactly what breaks and what the 3D printed part replaces to fix it.

There is a whole thread on this issue. There are plastic supports under that trim piece that break really easily. Totally a fail on design by Tesla. There are 3D printed parts that fix it and work amazingly well. I do not have a 3D printer so I used an online service to print mine. Worked great...

So clearly a bunch more testing going on and across a wide range of chargers. No fried electronics. So what do we think happened with GreenTheOnly tweet ??

Uh oh, Starbucks is going to need to change the warning labels “The beverage you are about to enjoy is hot. Don’t put it down in your 2021 Model 3 Refresh”

Just emailed asking for a copy. Thanks for the heads up.

I thought it was plug adapter into cable, turn adapter on to get green light, plug into car, push on button again to get charge to initiate/start payment process?

Bay Area is brutal. I am right near Fremont. Delivery to my home at 11:38pm NEW YEARS EVE. I could not believe it.

I love my SportTube for airline travel. Never tried the rack mounting. Nice idea. Definitely thumbs up on the Tube quality, design, ability to protect skiis/poles, etc.

Mine started working again and has been solid ever since. It was out for about 12 hours.

Just and interesting FYI update for you all. I received an email out of the blue from the SETEC representative that I had corresponded with early in the pre-order process. She asked me how the adapter was working, etc. I mentioned that I had a great experience and gave her the hardware, etc but...

My sole reason for the CCS experiment, even with lower charge rate cap, was to just have more choice for my specific use cases. Folks have noted (complaining loudly) how many EA and similar vendor charging locations have maybe one Chademo, if it is even working, but multiple CCS plugs. The CCS...

I have one of these too but was really hoping that CCS would open up a bunch of options for when I am in the mountains/snow and I need to get charged no matter what. But this is just so disappointing after an initial great start working with SETEC and my initial try on the latest firmware going...

Well that Tweet was pretty scary. I had zero problems at an EA charger. I wonder what happened. That is extreme.

Got my car back from Tesla, so figured I would add to the testing. SETEC firmware 131. EA in Palo Alto at Stanford Mall. 150kW BTC Power station. Worked like a charm first try. Charging at 35kw but I was already 64% SOC. I will upload a picture of the equipment label/specs later today. I am...

Can’t say where they were headed but, I live about 20 min from Fremont factory and I have in the past few days, every time I have been driving on 101 (major north south freeway) I have seen 5-6 trailers of model 3s and only model 3s heading north towards San Francsico. Maybe to the ports for car...

And it came back this morning at the service drop off. It figures. It did not come back yesterday after a full power off, screen reset/reboot, etc. So no idea why it worked again miraculously today.

Mine just crapped out today. Already had a service appointment for panel fixes tomorrow. We will see if they can fix the camera too or I need another one.

DM'd as well

They are iterating so rapidly. That is great. They clearly believe they can solve it, there is a market, or I doubt they would have this kind of turnaround. Helps to have paying testers! Thanks all.

Which kit did you install?

I was just about to ask the same thing. I have the SETEC but have not tested yet. Car is getting PPF/Tint and some minor panel alignment work from Tesla first. But I am happy to test/provide data to the group/SETEC as well. I want this to work. I have not reached out to SETEC for the software...

That's called "Whoops, we curbed his wheel and tried to cover it up" Ask for new wheel. Ridiculous.

I wonder if there is a standard minimum “run in” testing program for the drivetrain. My car and document set was 15 miles as well. Then another 10 for the drive to my home for drop off.

This +1000. I have done a bunch of track time and some autoX. And still do not consider myself anything special on track. But I am a far better driver than before I had that experience. Particularly off the track. Why? The most important part of it all though? Going out with an instructor in...

How does it handle the white stuff? I have seen a whole lot of mixed feedback from amazing with snow tires to horrible too much rear wheel bias needs snow mode to force 50/50 split all the time

Update: I did squeak under the wire and got the free SuperCharging for a year. I finally had a chance to really inspect the car. And I’ll be damned but it is almost perfect. And I mean my level if anal perfect. Super minor body panel adjustments in a couple of spots and I think many many people...

Well, it just arrived! Literally under the wire. Yes it is dark and I am tired but it actually looks pretty damn good. What a relief. A couple of small alignment issues I see but nothing glaring so far. Tomorrow for the serious going over. Wow. What an experience. FWIW, the delivery team...

I feel like Dick Clark counting down to the New Year.

11pm. Crickets.

Basically what they told me is no choice but to accept and any issues send it to the SC to get resolved. Incredibly arrogance. I swear I am tempted to reject just to protest the ridiculousness. Feeling like a total sucker.

Maybe that is actually mine? LOL. Still no car. 10:30pm. Do I get a special something for being the last car delivered in 2020? LOL. Seriously I am expecting 11:59pm at this point

Tick tock tick tock. It’s 10pm. Do you know where your Tesla’s are (you might need to be as old as I am to remember those commercial/public service announcements)? Still no car at my home. This is truly amazing.

So, who wants a laugh at the eleventh hour. What’s the chance my car is not a QC disaster? Check this out from my SA at 8:35pm on 12/31. And Elliott answering my questions. Short answer: tough crap we are forcing you to accept with no ability to inspect or you can just reject now. Thanks so much...

Oh it is coming. I have spoken to them. The latest is “some time tonight”. So about that inspection. Zip. Nada. I basically have no f-ing choice but to accept and see what it all is tomorrow morning. What a cluster. 6:30pm 12/31 and the best I get is sometime tonight and oh, you must accept. And...

As I posted yesterday, delivery instructions said my date on my account might go away on delivery day, it did. VIN has stayed. Waiting now to find out (a) exactly where it is and when it will get here -my SA is asking and asking, and (b) how the hell do I inspect and potentially reject if it is...

Crap, I have no idea what that means. Especially at this point in time.

And I got the MVPA and payment stuff later

My delivery notice, that I got today, said that might happen in the course of your drop off process. But it did not mention the VIN going away -- "Your delivery will happen anytime between 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. You do not need to be present for the delivery. NOTE On the day of your scheduled...

Let the deluge of emails requesting a swap commence! Assuming that can even be done LOL. ;) Everyone has their own style. No sorry needed.

Here's a question. I was planning on giving them a check for mine AFTER I inspect it. But it sounds like home delivery I have no option on that front? So how does this work. I am not financing and do not want to use Plaid. Thx!

I just got assigned a delivery date at my home on 12/31 (at 2am!! LOL. I will probably be awake anyway in anticipation.).

I agree, a separate thread pulling our testing of this thing together in one spot, plus comms with SETEC would probably be most helpful to everyone on the forum.

I would think maybe that issue happens once, but not on all three chargers in three different locations. I am betting it is a software change on the Model 3. Now that I actually got a VIN this morning, and I hope it means I have a car soon, I can try to test as well.
