Recently I have observed few times now that after I finish charging and remove the charger, the charging port does not close on it own. If I push it slightly from the top it closes. Has anyone else faced the same issue? It always opens the charging port fine but doesn't always close. It doesn't...

I have couple of fine scratches from rocks. Wondering if for red multicoat I should buy Tesla's paint touch up kit or any other? Anyone with good success that can recommend? Is Dr Colorchip better than Tesla's kit?

It was extremely annoying for me as well. I keep music on for most of the times so it wasn't a problem but the moment I am going for quiet ride it was like shooooooooo haha. Glad they fixed it.

This was the exact noise I was getting in my new M3. There is something that needs to be tightened in the side mirror box - forgot what it is. Take it to service center they will fix it.

And I figured out lol - keep Chill mode on when possible, and music off when possible - the Wh/mi goes down from 230-240 range to 180-190 range! :)

how did you manage such amazing Wh/mi? I drive M3 SR+. I have only been driving for few months but no matter how much I try my WH/mi is always between 225 and 240. I don't accelerate hard, keep music on all the time either through premium service or bluetooth, don't keep phone to charge most...

2021 or 2020 Model 3 SR+ owners- how many miles you drive per percentage of usage displayed on dash? Are you able to typically achieve less than 225 wh/miles? I understand the percentage left displayed on the dash is estimation but I am curious as I am wondering my driving habits are good or...

Used car market is insane. My Corolla that I had bought for 12k at 10 years back was bought by Carvana for 10k - I paid 2k for 10 years of drive plus maintenance lol. It had a few maintenance needs such as alternator suggested to be replaced, timing belt etc that I had listed. After Carvana...

FYI: Plaid does not know your password. This authentication type is called OAuth that directly gets authenticated at the financial institution and plaid would not know anything other than the "token". I am not a Plaid representative lol but Software Engineer and know exactly how this works. In...

I will soon finish 1 month since picking up the car - super happy with it, drives great and so much fun. However, I just noticed gap on rear bumper on both sides that I feel is too big a gap than I would like. Can I still report and expect to have it fixed by them or did I miss the window?

Interesting to know. I have '21 M3 bought right about 3 weeks back. No issues as above so far.

Next he will go to Reddit Tesla forum as another user and point to this post as reason why Tesla sucks as “real time Tesla owner experience”. It’s difficult to believe what’s claimed here. And if unhappy, can afford a 65k car but can’t sell the most in demand vehicle in most in demand used car...

I had a reverse issue. Picked up the car and went straight to super charger to fill'er up from 38% to 81%, went home to notice the message was still showing pending pick up so messaged the SA to close work order, post that the message disappered. Checked my free supercharger miles usage and...

How much did it cost you to replace front bumper by Tesla SA?

I took the checklist but also decided not to go too crazy - checked very carefully exterior, interior and mainly focused on anything that could be difficult to prove afterwards i.e. if something is not functioning right can always be repaired but a dent or a scratch would end up becoming...

Interesting how its different for different people. I believe its based on insurance cost losses and number of insured cars in a specific zipcode for insurance company. For me, with perfect driving record and no car repair history it just kept getting increased insanely every 6 months as Geico...

Typically 500 for Tesla wall charger, 600 for breaker installation and since my breaker is full it requires additional 200 bucks for something that allows it to be installed. I haven’t heard anyone paying less than 1k if using electrician.

Very helpful, thanks!

Plaid is as legit as any other typical online financial transaction you may do i.e. transfer between banks, brokers etc. For those not comfortable, you can also carry cashier's check to the dealership to pay.

I am reading in some floor mats it says fits 2017-2021 for model 3 while some others state as 2020-2021. Can someone confirm if dimensions would be different or not for 2017/2018 tesla floor mats vs 2021 floor mats? I am not sure why some brands write as 2017-2021 while some others 2020-2021...

More than that, I dont want to immediately invest $1500 just for ability to charge at home when I have super charger very close to home and I do not typically expect me to be in a position to require charging every day as this car is not going to have long commutes. I can use super charger...

I get that, but I would evaluate as a product ultimately what it is offering to me for the price I am paying and if I determine above lack of features makes it not worth I would walk away.

I see your point there and also probably to lose time in waiting to find out later to have a feature missing that is desired would be disappointing. Plus perhaps if someone is financing then to get the bank to hit credit unnecessarily. But ultimately, I feel given that all I would have paid is...

I am not sure what point is made though. We have a choice of buying a product or not based on what it offers. Completely our decision.

Need advise here as I just bought my Tesla. I have 1k super charging miles based on referral but I am reading that super chargers damage the battery? Can someone help me understand following - 1. I would like to continue charging at super charger until I use up my free charging miles as I have...

Once I schedule delivery appointment (I had 3 day window since I got notification that car was already ready to pick up), one day before that on website the button showed up for me to pay the initial payment. You will have plenty of time, it takes less than 5 minutes online. Also, for any reason...

It would be good to see side by side video of with and without radar car if one of the youtubers could show the analysis.

Carvana is awesome if you are selling. I was amazed how much more they gave me for my car over book value. AND they further increased the price by few thousands when they are about to put on sale (coming soon, I looked up by my VIN) and has already 35 watchers. I would never pay the price they...

I saved 1000 dollars every 6 months by switching away from Geico. So amazed that they jacked up that much and when I spoke to rep they said its because of loss ratio being very high with very high amount of insurance count with them. And that even after probably max credit score you can achieve...

Exactly. I mean Tesla knows how their Software and AI works. For us to comment that because they took away radar suddenly it becomes a very unsafe car without any knowledge of how they make it work would be a mistake. But to each their own - I got my delivery two days back and everything works...

It is not just about Tesla demand, while thst is partially responsible, biggest issue is significant shortage in chips causing price hike thst then companies have to pass to consumers. So essentially price hike plus delivery delays as a result.

my TL Buy now - chip shortage, price certainly going higher if you look at both used and new car market. Prices are already up about 2k for Tesla if you have been waiting, won’t be surprised if it goes more higher by 3-4K. Going by Elon’s tweet today on FSD going 14k (same could apply to base...

That’s how it looks like if these provisions stand as is. Of course final bill can change but then anything can change in final bill so for now I am glad with it.

Isn’t it applicable for purchases after May 24 as it stands currently?

I recently reviewed facebook’s research paper on pure vision and detection based on pure vision. I am not worried about losing radar, in fact amazed at pure vision will have over other car manufacturers who have decided not to. Anyways, let’s see how my car works as I just picked up yesterday! 😊...

I tried surprise on my wife, didn't work too well. Owned mostly non-fussy cars i.e. Camry, picking up M3 this week, didn't tell her for very long time, just recently told her, she is little upset and unexcited - she wants "normal" car, I am hoping the more she drives around in this the more she...

Same here. My insurance has been insane eden after no bad driving event or insurance claim. I trusted Geico for too long and checked progressive yesterday - well my quote is half the price Geico is charging me!

Agree that the timeline keeps changing. At one point it just kept me fixed 15 days out and as expected delivery and would keep bumping out to maintain the same 15 day window. It was so annoying plus the website load time is poor. But my biggest annoyance has been Tesla sales advisors- so e of...

Couple of questions if someone could answer - 1. Can I wait to pay until I verify all looks good in the car? i.e. initiate payment through website as soon as I find everything good in the car and no issues or do I have to pay prior to I go to pick up the delivery ( I am financing so talking...

I got text message, no email. I was notified this morning. First I noticed when I logged in to check status that it was asking me to approve delivery for radar delete. Then I noticed VIN already assigned and delivery window between now and next 3 days. Then in 30 mins I received text message to...

New here and picking up my Model 3 this weekend! Will be without radar. I feel I dont' know enough about Tesla so hopefully all will turn out good, but certainly excited. If anyone have a great checklist for delivery pick up please let me know.
