Hey all, I bought a Model Y long range before Feb 29 to take advantage of three things: - $1000.00 discount (Cybertruck reservation holder) - FSD and Free Supercharging transfer from my old Model X - Tax rebate of $7500.00 and MD tax rebate($3000.00 - which had ran out a while ago, but Tesla...

I will take it. Check your DM.

Mine got a bad curb rash - looking to replace one rear wheel. Prefer Washington DC area where I can pick up. Thanks

Amazing picture!

Thanks deepbluejh. I will reply to your PM.

Only need one, but will take the 4 20" silver OEM if you don't want to separate them - $500. Need to pick it up before Tuesday. Thanks.

Yep! Got my model X back and it is perfect! We talked to all the potential shops in this are with @DCEV, TLC applied the film we wanted as opposed to the "recommended" film - the Suntek ultra defense. We were told by the other shops that ultra defense is too thick to work with and it will...

Good morning all! Just dropped off my white model X at TLC auto detail in Dulles, VA. Very friendly shop owner - answered all the questions we had for him (and DCEV had a lot! :)). It is going to be done exactly the way we requested as opposed to the other shops that were not really interested...

You hit the nail on the head about the exorbitant prices in DMV and none of the shops are willing to budge at all. We got a decent price, considering we are in DMV. It is by no means California or GA or FL prices though. I had my Model S wrapped about 4 years ago for less than half of what I...

Ok.. here is an update... I was really going back and forth on this PPF thing, looking at what is being quoted in this area. But I have it on my Model S (got it 4 years ago) and I don't cringe every time I drive by a guy shooting grass at me from his super-duper zero turn lawn mower as I am...

Airplane wings! Never worry about icing! :)

I meant bucks ;)

- Model X Raven - white/white LR - Delivered on 09/17/19 - Rockville MD - Issues: - One small scratch on the front right fender, another one somewhere else that I forget. Both are small. - Left rear quarter panel looks like it has been repainted.. some flaws with the repaint including...

Sorry I had a hectic weekend and just seeing this. My delivery happens in Rockville, scheduled for tomorrow. I really like the list you have up there. I visited a shop today in Rockville, All American Paint Protection. The shop is clean and nice. I think the other shops are probably just as...

My MS has a full wrap. I think it was XPEL ultimate - the 11mmm thick film. Group buy would be great - and we can all go with the Suntek Ultra Defense. I heard it is a bit harder to install though since it is thick. I am told the MX is coming in on Monday (the 16th) so let's pick a shop and...

Yep, flew a small plane down there and went island hopping. Kinda a long way from MD in a Cessna, but it was such a great tool for going to some of the out islands. That picture is an approach into Staniel Cay.. Back to the subject at hand (aka reality) ... :) Got another quote for $7k from...

I am. Model X is going to be delivered on Monday. I have XPEL for the S, and I was going to go with that again. $8k is a bit steep though.

Yeah.. I was quoted over 10k for full XPEL and ceramic for Model X by AllAmerican. Just full XPEL - 8K. That is insane - twice as much as I paid for my MS 3 years ago. That shop is gone now - maybe on an early retirement! :) Looking at a couple of shops around here too.. let me know if anyone...

Lots of people die due to fuel exhaustion in small airplanes because they cut it too close. Running out of fuel is just an inconvenience in cars, but it can cost one their life when they run out of fuel in an airplane. But people still do it.. Having reserves is a good thing both on the...

Great discussion here. I am in MoCo and have been looking to do this for a while. Two options I was looking at: - On the roof - I don't have a south facing roof, so I need a lot more panels. I am looking $2.50 - $2.80 per watt to make it worthwhile. I have been getting quotes anywhere from...

Here is how my Tesla Service center experience went: The phone rings out of the blue one day and Caller ID says it is Tesla. Lady on the other end: Hi, my name is Jxxxx and I am calling from Tesla Me: Hi, what can I do for you? Lady: Well, I am calling to checkup on you and the car. We...

Better than North, South Carolina.

Just came back from a trip from Maryland to KeyWest and back with the kids. All was uneventful except I had to wait about 15 minutes at Santee, SC because all stalls were full (a couple of Teslas from Quebec, a Maryland, and a Virginia plates - don't remember the rest) . After another 10...

I live about 40 miles from my office in Washington DC and I drive down to the office 2-3 times a week. It takes me about an hour to an hour and half each way depending on traffic. I have driven my VW diesel, rode my motorcycle and recently drove my 74 DS downtown, but I prefer the model S70D by...

I'm so happy I got my MS just before they started installing that thing. I drove a loaner with it and really hated it. Good luck with the removal.

After over a couple of thousand miles both long distance and Washington DC traffic, the autopilot is very capable. You just need to trust it and anticipate where it could potentially make a mistake (exits are one and merging lanes are another) and be ready to correct it. If I have to hold the...

I am in Maryland and got the update on Monday for my 70D. Pretty amazing.

Hello all, Just completed a trip from Maryland to Hamilton, Ontario over the holidays in my 70D. Bottom line - We need a supercharger in Erie, PA. This trip took us through Hagerstown, MD, Somerset, PA, Cranberry Township, PA, and Buffalo, NY superchargers. All the superchargers are within a...

The glass and wheel treatment was using ceramic pro products. It is to repel rain and dirt. It doesn't really do any protection for the glass or the wheels. It was thrown in with the wrap, so I took it.

Yep, I got Xpel ultimate. Paint correction (along with window/wheel treatment) was included in the price. The delivery guy knew that I was taking the car for a wrap immediately after delivery, but I don't know if they did anything different from a regular delivery prep. The shop did a one...

Mine was 4.5k. They took off all the badging from the back but went around the T on the nose cone. They had to buy a new set if the badging, because all the letters didn't come off clean and we're not reusable.

Looks great. I had mine done in August and it looks great so far. I got it done at a great shop here in Maryland. The one thing they said they weren't able to do is wrap the trunk lid with one continuous sheet. How did they handle yours. I don't have a spoiler.

Depends on what kind of person you are. I am a techie and I wouldn't consider a tesla without an autopilot - at all. I have always liked the cutting edge (sometimes the bleeding edge) of technology, and I am aware of the pitfalls. I use the autopilot, and use it cautiously. I take the word...

+1 ^^ Just came back from a 98 mile round trip - 90% autopilot. Can't believe how well it worked! I was already making a good use of the TACC as I think it is safer. So happy I didn't leave the AP option on the table like the Tesla sales guy suggested - "No one gets the autopilot"..

No nag. Just came back from a 98 mile round trip through Washington DC traffic - I-270, no less - and it worked great. It was confused on merges a time or two. Told me to take over in a very confusing construction zone area (267 to Dulles), and that was about it. It changed lanes fine, but had...

I have been waiting for the Erie, PA supercharger to open before I can drive my 70D from Gaithersburg, MD to Toronto, ON - but this is encouraging. Cranberry Township SC to Buffalo SC is 205.3. So even at 300wh/m, it would be about 61KW. The question is can I squeeze 61 out of a 70KW with just...

Went to the SC in Rockville today and the said the alignment looks perfect. They are baffled as to what happened. They talked about painting the entire door or touch-up, but I think it is an overkill to paint the whole door and try blending it in. So we decided we will go with the touch-up and...

Both front and back passenger doors. Front passenger door is worse. I will call today and see what they say. Thanks

Hello all, The paint on the door around where the door handle would retract is peeling. The SC said they haven't seen anything like it before, but they will get back to me to tell me if they are authorized to fix it. Here are a couple of pics: The car is a 70D and has 1800 miles on...

I agree with this. It would be great for Tesla motors folks to say absolutely nothing about this as there is a contract that specifies everything. The confusion is not created by the contract, but by statements/e-mails from Tesla employees and anecdotes from people who took their cars in. It...

DS got back to me and said the 4 year annual contract has to be used within 4 years - it will expire after 4 years. So if I bring in the car every 18 months, I can only use 2 of the 4 that I have paid for - making the price $950/visit. So for me I think I will just pay for it every time I go in...

AmpedRealator, Already fired off an email to the DS, maybe will go higher. Just wanted to see if my understanding of the email you posted (thank you for that) is the same as people on here. I understand this is just a forum of owners an enthusiasts, and as such doesn't represent Tesla motors.

I got my car yesterday and I need to make a decision if I want to buy the service plan or not. My initial thought is to skip it, just take it in every couple of years or 25k miles and pay the $600.00. But after reading this, I can do the same thing with a service contract - at a cheaper price. I...

Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster. I am caught up in the rail delay as well, so no one knows when the car will be here in Rockville, MD. I was told it was in NM, then in Chicago and now in New Jersey over the past three weeks (production completed on 7/7). Delivery ESTIMATE now is...
