    I disassembled my driver door handle, please help me fix it ! :)

    Agreed that their issue is resolved. That's what I'm hoping for, and maybe some feedback on how they resolved it. There doesn't seem to be a lot of feedback on the Gen 3 handles. Some resolve themselves, some have to have them recalibrated, and some have the whole handle assembly replaced. This...

    New style Door handle broke after 3 months, Seems to be a calibration issue?

    Everything still good? I've been having the same issue with mine. I've had it apart a couple of times and can confirm its the Gen 3 (without micro switches). I did pull the control module off of the opposite door, put it on the problem door, and the problem handle acted the same. I switched...

    Gen 3 door handle buzzing/squealing

    Tesla peeps smarter than me, I’ve got a rear door handle acting up. A high pitched whine coming from the handle assembly. It had been intermittent, leaving the door handle extended partly then last night it went in, stayed in and constant whine (see video). Car off, reset with scroll wheels...

    I disassembled my driver door handle, please help me fix it ! :)

    Hello Ande, I have an 2018 MS and have the same problem, three squeals 2-3 seconds apart, then the door handle stops. Last night, it started to squeal and never stopped. I had to pull the door panel off and disconnect the handle control module. How did you resolve your issue? Thanks in advance!

    Phone key issues

    I read in another thread (don't remember where) that in your phone bluetooth settings, make sure you allow "Tesla App" to use Bluetooth "always". If you allow "only when using app", you may run into issues. I was having intermittent issues (maybe 50%) and I allowed always, and haven't been...

    Tesla will no longer accept Bitcoin as payment - I made a deposit for a Model Y last week in Bitcoin and hoping to pay in Bitcoin

    Do you guys think the people who bought a car with BTC think they can hide the transaction from the IRS? Do you think Tesla doesn't have to report that transaction? I bought a car with BTC. I fully expect to have to pay capital gains tax, already planning on it. I'm just curious on the mechanism...

    Tesla will no longer accept Bitcoin as payment - I made a deposit for a Model Y last week in Bitcoin and hoping to pay in Bitcoin

    It took 10 minutes for mine to clear when I purchased my Model YP. Can't do that with a cashiers check.

    Road debris took out a tire at 249 miles

    No leak, but I am concerned about catastrophic failure while driving (insert legal speed limit here). Good thought on the certificates. I’ll check into them. Thanks!

    Road debris took out a tire at 249 miles

    Should have been more specific, it would be nice to find them today so I don’t have to wait a week. It’s all good.

    Road debris took out a tire at 249 miles

    Took delivery of Indigo Montoya this past Saturday. Last night, she wasn’t nibble enough to avoid some road debris. Truth is, I’m just an old man and it was really my fault. $400 for a tire, five days delivery as no one has them. Service appointment already set up for next week. Ugh.

    Unless you're in MI (and maybe a couple of other states). Car must be funded before it can enter the state. Dang Car Dealer Association anyway.

    I received a quote from Tesla, not uncompetitive. Also did Carvana, KBB, AutoNation, and VROOM. Carvana was the lowest, $2K less than Tesla. AutoNation was the highest, $3K higher than Tesla, but I needed to drop off at one of their stores.....3 ½ hours away. KBB sent out to local...

    Placed order and paid via Coinbase but transaction took too long

    Tesla is only looking to maintain the pricing as best they can. The BTC/USD rate is constantly changing. Another thing to note is that every exchange have different processes and rules. I intended to use BlockFi to pay, but they hold all withdrawals for 24 hours. I was like “WHAT?!?? It’s my...

    @DetTigers, I logged in this morning and they moved my delivery up. April 27 - May 3. I’ll be out of town on business 27-29, so have to wait a little bit. Maybe I’ll see you in Clarkston on Friday.... 😆

    NICE!!! I talked to a TA Friday and he was giving me the rundown. Car currently in Wyoming (the state, not the city) heading to Chicago. Due in the clarkston SC on 5/3. I told him “it sure would be nice to grab that thing on 4/30”. He seemed to stumble a bit and I told him I was just anxious and...

    What I found out from my TA was that just because the website says it’s in St. Louis (for example), doesn’t mean it’s there. I found a MYP on their site in St. Louis, called to see if I could grab it (upgrading from MYLR) and she said “sure, and it’s not in St. Louis, it’s still in CA waiting to...

    I did the same exact thing. Looked everywhere in my account settings, clicking on every random word and icon. Nothing. Found it in another thread by accident lol.

    I'm sure there's an easier method but I just looked for Current inventory and changed the zip code to various cities within a radius I was comfortable driving to/from to see if there were any available. Last week, nada. Yesterday and today, there's a few. I looked at 6 or 8 locations before I...

    Decided to snag the MYP I found online. Called my TA, she reserved it, it's in CA waiting to get loaded on a train, she was able to redirect it to Detroit vs. me having to fly to St. Louis. Delivery moved up April 30 - May 6.

    Been searching all over the site and stumbled across this thread. Thanks! I was going nuts trying to figure out how to replace Spicoli. LOL. I need something more appropriate. I no longer surf, and that guy in Hawaii was not really that big of a deal anyway.
