Ok, I sprayed it black and and velcro'd where GtiMart suggested. Brilliant. Now... should I tell her? 😈😎🤣😂🤣 Thanks man, great idea.

That's a good idea. I ordered a $9.00 opener from eBay, I'll velcro it on the back of her screen and see if she even notices. :)

I have the MyQ hub installed in my garage, and the app that controls it on my phone. When the holiday update came I was pleased to see the most technologically advanced car in the world get an avenue towards an operational garage door opener. God forbid Tesla incorporate 2011 tech with...

I just dropped my Model 3 off at SD Tint on University Ave in La Mesa. $280 for 6 side windows in 35% ceramic.

While not not a fan of the Bolt, (in fairness I know nothing about the vehicle) I do know a thing or 2 about electricity. Specifically about it's failure characteristics in residential, commercial and industrial infrastructure. It's been my specialty for decades. It doesn't take an expert to...

Imagine, knowing what you all clearly know... Imagine being the neighbor or 2nd cousin we all have that bought the 'not a Tesla' EV, because their trusted media source told them to. They were told Tesla's were dangerous, that Elon was going broke. Fire... hacking... fraud... ect...

To avoid a duplicate thread. It's the same issue that has arisen again. My apologies, I didn't consider looking into the OP's posting history. Please move or delete as you see fit.

GM asks Chevy Bolt EV owners not to charge overnight or park inside? JUST IMAGINE IF THIS WERE TESLA. Holy Cats, it would be the end of the world. https://electrek.co/2021/07/14/gm-chevy-bolt-ev-owners-not-charge-overnight-park-inside-garages-fires/...

I think that's a very common scenario. So although it makes less sense than a peso (Grandpa's saying), maybe it is in fact for life preservation. VERY very poorly designed if that's the case in my opinion. Which would be the 1st poorly designed feature on my car so far. Not 100% convinced. It...

I think it is in fact a bug. Try turning Sentry Mode off.

It's hard to quantify "wear and tear" on a heat pump system. We have the compressor motor's sealed ball bearings, and a few fan motor bearings? Car covers are only for smart people that aren't lazy. lol

Ok... so the LCD screen, adhesives, fabrics, plastics, electronics... pretty much any material other than metal will live much longer at 105 F than 140+ F, which is what my internal temps reach very quickly in the So Cal sun. I still tend to reject the notion that it's for life safety. 105 F...

https://money.cnn.com/2016/09/21/luxury/elon-musk-tesla-hot-car-deaths/index.html Well damn. Maybe it actually is for occupant protection. If so it would be their worst designed feature. A motion activated system bringing temps to the 80F range and sending persistent push notifications through...

Interesting. Does the internal cooling system for the battery operate while the vehicle is asleep?

All Tesla vehicles have a feature called "Cabin Temperature Protection". This feature keeps the cabin temperature below 105 F. It's specific purpose has been postulated to be for human or animal life preservation, some say for electronic or LCD screen preservation, but I have a different view...

How did you sell it? I'm still sitting on a car I refuse to sell at Carmax prices. AutoTrader was bought by the dealers, Craigslist seems to be the only alternative.

Certainly Tesla will look at vehicle telemetry data at our 6 month renewal and re-price the renewal accordingly. My concern is that on California freeways we have a differential speed limit. 65 for autos and 55 for 3-axle trucks or any vehicle with a trailer. Very often the speed limit shown on...

Yea, it's a good time. It's an unfair expectation. In my defense Elon has used the Falcon 9 first stage booster 8 times now. At what point are we excused for hoping that the next software upgrade makes our car fly? Or do laundry? But yours are fair points for sure...

A mind-F worthy of Stephen King. Sometimes funny, almost always tragic, and usually disappointing... Until the end.

There's NO question you're 100% on point Anthony. I can't imagine a scenario where I needed to sell my car to a 3rd party and use those funds to put down on a Tesla. It's horrible. As I see it there are 2 options. Trade in your vehicle with Tesla at what is likely 70% of it's value or come up...

Guys, I FEEL the frustration from each post here. Most of the angst, not all, stems directly from the "EDD". The Expected Delivery Date. A better acronym might be "ADD", because Elon has Asperger's. I have Asperger's, and I know it can be confused with ADHD. It's my opinion Tesla should change...

Yes

I've had my car for 3 days. So much awesome. My expectations were high but Geezy Pete... what a machine. However, comparing a $200 Ring Doorbell vs a $40,000 Tesla? Ring wins this contest. Solution - Buy a $190 droid phone with a Wifi hotspot. Buy JB weld at the Depot. $10 should do it. Buy...

Woop woop... Dealer called. Appointment changed to tonight.

I'm looking at this differently. I think Bimmerworld should be given credit where it's due. They did have an amazing elapsed time. They were faster than Plaid, as were 9 other entrants. We all know they didn't prep their car in 4 days, and we all know all the other factors that put that BMW in...

Wow so they re-run credit? I'm anxious to see how much they lower my rate as I'm up 70+ points since ordering. I won't hold my breath lol. Planning on immediate re-fy.

Doesn't matter to me where the thread is, but Dai ran an M3 and Randy planned to. The S was a last minute submission. Just an FYI.

There's little to no reason to believe Randy wouldn't have broken 10 min on the full course. By how much nobody knows. I 'm a motorsports fan and appreciate Mobile 1 sponsoring the race. However, it wasn't a coincidence that they cut to commercial during what is unarguably the most disruptive...

This is a horrible picture, this is a frame from a video she shot from her phone. But this is what a fully loaded car carrier looks like when it's hauling Teslas. They're heavy cars, can't do full loads. Off to work... Cheers.

Quick update for the dozens of So Cal residents scheduled from now until the 30th. My wife commuted from San Diego to Bakersfield this morning, up the I5 due to road closures, and counted ELEVEN car carriers loaded with Teslas headed south. Apparently Tesla got whatever little part they were...

Looks like our May 15th order snuck in under the wire. Driving home from the Padres game and got the text. It's HAPPENNING!

I think he would have needed chains. It's snowing up top, right?

17 seconds faster than the 1st Place Acura NSX. Way to go Randy! Pikes Peak just got owned by Plaid.

6:57 Unbelievable

Randy about to launch now...

Good to know. I watched him run a section yesterday and he forgot to turn it on. They blew an o-ring on one of the Bilsteins up front last night, having to FLY IN a replacement. Today is the day Unplugged Performance/Musk/Poebst/ change racing forever. In a 4-door passenger car.

I've been following Pobst since he wrecked the first car. Impossible not to like the guy. The Plaid is FAST. I wouldn't be surprised to see Pobst break 10 min tomorrow. The hardest part of driving those cars seems to me to be the sirens.

Thanks Firewifey. It'll happen!

Yes, the order process was super easy and stress free. Then they start deleting features. The delivery dates range from 3 days away to 13 weeks away routinely. There's very little, if any, communication from corporate. Here's my bottom line, and I suspect I'm not alone. I don't feel like a...

Congrats! Still no soup for me. No VIN, that is. I did get a text asking if I could take delivery in July, of course I answered JULY. This morning my EDD moved from 6/27 - 6/30 to 6/28 - 6/30. Clearly there's TREMENDOUS pressure for Q2 numbers which doesn't make us the consumers feel warm and...

Good Luck! Given that we have the same order date and are both from So Cal, and my delivery date is 7 to 11 weeks I'd say I just missed the cut and your odds are REALLY good. Fingers crossed, hope you get it.

In San Diego also. Ordered 5-15. SR+ white no options. EDD has fluctuated almost every day. 2 days ago it was 6-23 to 6-30. Yesterday 9 to 13 weeks. Today 7 to 11 weeks. I do have a VIN although it's not yet revealed. I have reason to believe these cars are manufactured but missing a part. It's...
