    "12 Volt" Power Outlet in my Tesla Model S Plaid Has Burned Out 3 ~$1000 Escort Redline 360c detectors

    inserting this voltage stabilizer between the tesla 12v outlet and the escort redline 360c that will get installed today. Given the initial report above, seems like a reasonable way to protect an expensive electronic device at a price of maybe 10-15% of the device cost. If additional dashcams...

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    Before I bought a tesla MY I did a test drive in the Mach E. Before I did the test drive I was thinking about buying it if I liked the drive instead of waiting additional months it would take to get the MY - plus the EV credit $. Hated the test drive. Nothing to do with stats or acceleration...

    With all the power outages around Louisiana, any word on how EV owners are doing with charging availability.

    I evacuated in my tesla from new orleans to houston, charging at the tesla superchargers in Lafayette and Lake Charles. I'm returning Thursday and would appreciate knowing what superchargers are actually working. From the entergy maps if looks like Lake Charles and Lafayette are - has anyone...

    I ordered mine in may and was given the option of the 2 Atlanta stores only. Then they contacted me in late July and told me I can pick it up in Pearl MS as it a new store that opened 8/1/21.

    What DCU told me on the phone (not that I really know what the truth is) was that they give a 3 month period where the lower rate (1.24%) is active and if the direct deposits don't hit by 3 months from the loan then the rate goes up including for the 3 month grace period getting crawled back. As...

    don't know the mechanism, but I've heard they can tell a split and require the full deposit

    interesting. I am way out of area of service and just applied online with a $10 fee for a local organization membership and was in immediately online without talking to anyone in person at DCU.
  15. J

    Yes, DCU gives a 0.5% decrease to their 1.99% best rate only if you have a 100% direct deposit. Another 0.25% decrease if the car has better than 35mph or pure electric, thus getting you to 1.24%. The process worked well for me and I'm using them for a 1.24% loan x 65mo (max time at that rate)

    I got the call to schedule delivery the day after I got the VIN. However, perhaps this depends on how busy the place is. My pickup location was changed to Pearl, MS. I think their first official day open was 8/1, the day I got my VIN. So they likely did not have much if any backlog. My original...

    FWIW, I checked for my VIN in source code frequently, including the day before my VIN was assigned, and it was never in source code. So it appears some people can get it early via source code, and other's can't.

    Congratulations, you must be relieved after the long wait. I got my VIN 239xxx on 8/1, which is 14 days ago. Given your VIN, does that mean they made 10,000 MYs in 2 weeks time in Cali? Not sure if they run the plant 7 days a week, but that works out to an average of 714 MYs daily. Anyone know...

    Looks like you and I have the same car. Strange that I ordered 10d later than you but got my vin already and you didn't. Hard t understand the tesla system for deliveries.

    I just took the 1.24% @65mo from DCU without trying to get tesla to ratematch. But to answer your question from what I recall others have said, the process seemed to be: (1) wait till you get your VIN & MVPA from tesla (2) upload them to DCU (3) call DCU and finalize loan. They will then upload...

    They assigned my VIN 8/1 and in a phone call next day they said the car should arrive 8/15 into the pick up site at Pearl, MS, and my delivery appt is 8/19. So that is 2 full weeks between VIN assignment and arrival at pickup site. So is that 2 weeks of travel and the VIN came after it was off...

    The lowest I could find was 1.24% at DCU x 65mo and I was happy to take that. A direct deposit into a DCU account was required, but that was OK with me.

    DCU Loan

    I also got the tesla rate at 2.49%. Then applied to DCU and got the 1.24% rate for 65mo. My SA changed the financing from tesla to third party.

    I just finalized my auto loan with DCU today. Not aware that there is any referral needed or available. You just go to www.DCU.org and sign up for a membership. After you are a member, you can apply for the auto loan online. The Tesla will get you a 0.25% discount, & a monthly direct deposit...

    Yes, someone else replied to my post saying to email [email protected] to inquire. But the DCU direct deposit requirement works out fine with me and I'm happy with the 1.24% x 65mo so I'll stick with the DCU loan. Looking forward to picking up my car on 8/19!!!

    Current Delivery Times

    When I emailed [email protected] about changing from tesla financing to DCU because of the 1.24% rate @65 mo, they did not offer to match it. Not sure if it was because I did not specifically ask for a match, or they did not want to, or the 65mo offer from DCU threw it out of an apples to...

    Yes, after the initial email confirmation you have to call them to finalize and that requires the VIN & MVPA uploaded to the link in that email. They are apparently understaffed, so phone call waits can be 2 hours holding on - so I only call them when I have hours of computer work to do and...
