FWIW; my rear license plate screws were WAY loose from the factory (I didn’t check them; guess I should have) and it wasn’t until a few weeks later, I noticed one had fallen completely out and the remaining three were ABOUT to come out. I tightened them up and never had another problem. I just...

So I got a Tesmaniam rear spoiler from Santa… Put it on this weekend; Which BTW there’s really ZERO “official” instructions (other manufacturers actually have instructions on their site). Measured it out..put it on evenly. However, it doesn’t “seal” to the body. It’s basically “gapped”...

I may be crazy.. On my new 2022 3 LongRange; I don’t have this feature..is this an FSD only thing? I watched a couple YT vidoes where folks DIDNT have FSD and they still had Navigate On Autopilot. Thanks in advance!

I just figured the camera didn’t know what fog was.

Haha on some rural roads here there’s no speed limit sign for MILES. So it stays stuck at whatever the last sign was (which may be on a different road) I WISHED it used google maps; it just “sees” the signs

Just noticed this today (as it was SUPER foggy here in the Central Valley) The headlights didn’t automatically come on.. Any ideas?

I wouldn’t have believed it either! Just like the title says..picked up my brand new 3; Checked inductive charging pads..CHECK Checked usb-c ports..in front storage compartment..dead..rear seats…dead! Just to sanity check I have a good cable; plug in to MacBook Air (USB-C -> Lightning)…CHECK! On...

Annnd just like that; this morning (we’re still in Florida, flying home right now to cali) we were assigned a VIN. Insane that it’s SIX THOUSAND digits higher! Does that mean that in the 8 days this order has been on hold, SIX THOUSAND 3’s were built!? Positively nuts if that’s the case. Also; I...

Unfortunately I figured that would happen…when I ordered it said “December”, so I planned for 12/1..Tesla wanted to delivery 11/21 with NO exceptions. (Literally if they’d of allowed 7 days I’d of been ready) Ohh well; I just hope when I reapply for the loan I get as good of a rate.

Has anyone else had an issue where they “delayed” their delivery (they scheduled it for 11/21; but we’ve been on a cruise from 11/19-11/27…they said they couldn’t reschedule, only put us “on hold” until 11/26) and now when I look at my EDD; it’s February 2022..I thought when you came “off hold”...

Woohoo! Secured loan today with BofA; 2.24% with an 844 experian FICO8. Now just have to talk to BofA Monday to figure out how they get the funds to Tesla

Got our vin yesterday via source code accepted the vision agreement today; then they immediately wanted us to pick it up Monday, haha. I told them we’re out for the next 8 days on a cruise. So they said the most you can “delay” a delivery is 3 days. So we’re on “hold” now until 11/26; (which...

Got my vision agreement today and VIN. OD: 9/13 Blue / black / 18” / No FSD EDD still shows 11/19-11/29.

On their website; it shows only up to 2020…they said it’s because the 2021+ blue is a different color.. I looked it up in BASF and it’s the same blue since 2016 on the 3…anyone know?

In in close to the same boat in NorCal. OD: 9/13 EDD: 11/10 - 11/24 (posting this at 9:45pm on 11/10, haha) I’m all realism I can’t take delivery until 12/1 anyway (we’ll be on a cruise 11/19 - 11/27)

Sweet thanks! I’ll give them a call tommorow. I’ve also contacted Genesis in Elk Grove (saw their YT video and it looked professional AF!) they quoted me $850 for Llumar Pinnacle (everything but windshield)

Just like the title says, looking for tint shop recommendations I would like one that is listed on the manufacture website as an “authorized dealer” So many I’ve talked to say they are but when I search them up; I don’t see them listed. Also; being in business a long time is a plus. (I see...

Just trying to match the roof for the sides/back..anyone know off hand what percentage VLT it is? Like 25% or so?

From what I read on my contract (OD: 9/13) it states: “You agree to schedule and take delivery of your Vehicle within three (3) days of this date. If you do not respond to our no􏰁fica􏰁on or are unable to take delivery within the specified period, your Vehicle may be made available for sale to...

I thought when wiring up a NEMA 14-50 and setting the UMC to charge at 32amps; you needed a 50amp breaker? With the TWC, set to charge at 48amps; Tesla say use a 60amp breaker.

It’s a race; same spec and OD as me. I’m also in NorCal, About an hour from the factory

Y’all are nuts..but I’ll play.. OD: 9/13/21 EDD: 10/18 - 11/2 realistically I can’t take possession until 12/1 or so (check comes 12/1 for the down payment)

Yeah; I would honestly trade my Gen3 faceplate/24’ cable for someone who had a Gen3 with 8’..I honestly only need about 3’ haha.

Just commissioned my Gen 3 TWC Wired up with 6awg copper, to a 60amp breaker. Do my Volts/Ohm’s look good?

I see..so the BUSINESS owner gets the $300; the actual ELECTRICIAN gets maybe $50…I don’t support that racket.

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-issues-standard-mileage-rates-for-2021 I'd say getting 56c a mile is pretty generous already.

That’s kinda what I was expecting..which is crazy AF! It literally would take ME (a non-electrian) MAYBE an hour. I can’t imagine an electrician making MORE than $100 an hour. (If so, *sugar* it thought a software engineer was the highest paid job!)

So; this is going to sound stupid..BUUT Has anyone paid an electrician to run copper from their TWC to their service panel…when it’s literally right next to it? I’ve already got the 60amp breaker in the panel (put that in the other day) I really just need someone to drill a hole in the...

We’ll there went that idea..my current 2-gang box is WAAY too small even for a mid-grade 1450…the only thing it’d of fit is the cheap/tiny Leviton. So..talking to an electrician to pull me a few feet of 6/2 cu

You guys that are getting it “delivered”; did you choose that when you ordered? My only choices were to pick up in Stockton or at the factory in Fremont..that’d be cool as hell to have a Tesla unloaded at my doorstep haha

I decided to just get a quality 14-50; I have more things planned for my 200amp service, so only using 32amps for the Tesla will help (pool and spa coming in; on top of already the usual home 220 items)

I think I’m damned either way..as the “good” 14-50 outlets don’t necessarily say CUAL (only the cheap Leviton does) I guess I’ll just grab some 6/2 romex and run it. The crappy part is, romex is just “NM-B” which is way lower rated than XHHW-2..but I guess it doesn’t matter since it’s copper...

@jjrandorin damm that’s a wake up call! But you explained it dead on! for a 2021 LR 3 for daily use, Tesla recommends keeping it between 80%-20%..thats 211 “EPA” miles! real world more like 185! that’s crazy! In my ICE car, Id regularly let it get down to 10% fuel left (1-2 gallons in a 12.8...

Haha I went down a rabbit hole… for anyone interested… multistrand aluminum rated at AA-8000 wrapped in XHHW-2, is about as good as you can get, and has nearly identical performance to copper.

Ohh wow..so I was just talking to my uncle, (not an electrician but has been in the industrial electric things business for 40 years) he said I was confusing SINGLE strand aluminum with MULTI strand. He said multistrand is perfectly fine to use for 240v things, just to remember to use anti oxide...

I thought the same..but I mean..the wire is silver..so I’m GUESSING it’s aluminum.. However according to the NEC.. https://www.usawire-cable.com/pdfs/nec%20ampacities.pdf 6awg in XHHW-2, is good to 60 amps.

I thought about that; but when I pulled on the wire already there; it wasn’t budging. In doing reading; 6awg aluminum can handle 55amps @ 90c…so that should be OK right?

So; upon further inspection; my brand new built house; was wired entirely with aluminum 6awg! They actually labeled one of the “roughed in” outlets as “EV Charger”. Is 6awg OK to use in ANY world for a Gen3 wall charger? Also the “run” (from wall charger to main panel) is no more than 5’ (it’s...

Fwiw my blue one got bumped back too… (but that’s OK with me; won’t have the money until 12/1 anyway)

Apologies: meant the “jacketing” the wire bundle is in.

Yup; I just measured that just a few minutes ago. Mounting in left holes and running conduit in lower right back corner. Liiiike a glove!

OK, what I think I need to do, is get some conduit, to have the cable come out of the faceplate; then mount the TWC on the stud next to it, and run it up through the bottom of the TWC.

So my garage came pre-wired with a pull of Romex 6/3, in a 2-Gang Box. (Photo Attached) So, I could put a 14-50 plug in..but the local electric company offers $500 rebate for a Tesla wall charger (so basically, I'd be getting it free) My question is..does the Tesla Wall charger line up with a...

Daaamn; even with the “EPA Rated” 353 mile range!? My current car (2016 Elantra) has an EPA rated 37mpg (highway) and with 175k miles logged (bought it brand new) it has done exactly that on 400 mile I5 trips, doing 80mph (which is realistically the speed you have to drive on I5). I was hoping...

Thanks for that info! I was hoping for a little more; honestly..but 250 "real world" sounds about right (that's about a solid 3 hours of driving per shot)

Edit: I think this is in the wrong sub-forum

Apologies up front as I’m sure this has been beat to death.. For the 2021 LR; let’s say I set my cruise control at 80mph (I5 in California; LOONG empty stretch from Bay Area to LA)…if I had exactly 100% charge..doing 80mph with auto-pilot/cruise control; is asking for close to 4 hours (300...

Hello all :) Been wanting to order a Tesla for a while; but the wife said other things before getting a new car (Travel Trailer, Pool) Finally the time came where the other “toys” were purchased and I could purchase a new car. Ordered a deep blue metallic 3 LR on 9/13/21. Can’t wait to be a part...

Brand new member (hello) OD 9/13/21 originally I ordered because delivery said “December”..I get a bonus check on 11/30, to pay for the down payment (20%)..now my EDD is showing as “9/26-9/30”. I saw someone else in this thread (maybe a few people) are in the same boat..am I SOL if it comes in...
