If they design it so that you actually cannot fold the seatback down by just lifting a latch in the passenger compartment (key, electronic lock, etc.), then people wouldn't break the window in the first place. A sedan trunk was usually designed to be a secure area. That's why most passenger...

They need to get rid of the rear seat folding latches and make something more secure. The quarter window break-ins should have prompted that re-design after the first year. Unsecure latches exist in hatchbacks and SUVs since the cargo area is exposed due to the car design, but a sedan should...

Glad they're trying to resolve the issues. Those bubbles definitely look like particulate trapped underneath and waiting longer wouldn't have fixed it. It's interesting how tint shops have evolved over the years. I remember my first tint job on my new 1999 Acura Integra (memories!), and the...

I have a Galaxy S21 and wireless charging is very inconsistent and unreliable. I don't think it depends on the hot summer days as I've noticed slow charging in the mornings in San Francisco when it's quite cold. My commute is about 45 minutes and I'll leave in the morning with my phone with...

I live in San Francisco and don't know what cold is either. In regards to street parking and not being able to charge, I've relied on Level 2 at work and supercharging primarily and it works fine. In San Francisco there are a ton of Tesla's parked overnight in the street (with street parking...

I agree with others that it's hit or miss and that your expectations largely drive your satisfaction when you receive your vehicle. Also the terms "build quality" and "fit/finish" and "issues" are all rather subjective depending on how picky you are. My 2022 I picked up in February had a...

The Fastrak CAV transponder still has an occupancy switch which is needed to indicate passengers in the car while you're driving in express lanes on all the freeways. You still get a CAV discount if it's just yourself in the express lane, but the discount increases if you have 2 or 3...

Only 3 days into using my new sunshade in the parking lot at work, my Fastrak transponder has detached from the velcro strips, most likely from the heat captured between the glass and sunshade. Does anybody have any suggestions for glue to try to reaffix the velcro that can continually...

Got my windows tinted on Monday 7/18 (3M Ceramic IR on all sides and one-piece rear windshield for $600) and pretty much left the tint to dry for most of the week as I worked from home. When I finally went on a drive yesterday and did a thorough inspection under the sun, I noticed a...

I live in an apartment with no charging, but I can charge for free at work. What I've done several times is on Friday, I charge to 100% to give me the most range for the weekend (and in case I decide to work from home Monday/Tuesday). I leave work as soon as it hits 100% and since I work 45...

I initially thought that people might be messing with the door (hitting/twisting) while it is open and charging, but then I figured Sentry would probably catch any culprits For the people that apply force to close the door (and not let it close automatically), where do you apply force to engage...

This is interesting since I definitely feel the warmth on my face and arm when the sun is going through the side windows compared with when it's coming at me through the windshield (definitely need to tint soon...)

Another dumb question to ask, but did you try to put the pop rivets in while they were still conjoined? When I installed mine, I received the pop rivets conjoined and tried to just push them in and it didn't work. I decided to actually separate the pieces (it required me to pry the locking...

I'm very fortunate that I get to charge at work for free. Pre-pandemic the chargers were limited to 4 hours per car, but now that everybody is working hybrid, there's plenty of chargers available and I get to leave it charging for 8+ hours every time I drive in to the office (3x/week). I'm...

My car was delivered Feb 1st and my plates came in the mail on March 2nd. I would call the Tesla location where you picked up and ask for a copy of the REG 397 Title Application. I needed to get a copy of mine in order to submit my CVRP application. You can probably also confirm that they...

I understand the OP's disappointment and it's unfortunate the timing didn't align. And like what somebody earlier said, most leasing companies allow for lease extensions for this very reason. I was going to do that with my mom's lease in 2020 waiting for the proper configuration of her next...

I believe I tried public Wi-Fi before and the car doesn't allow us to connect to Wi-Fi that has captive portal authentication (website splash screen to acknowledge and connect). My work's guest Wi-Fi also has captive portal authentication. I did find an article a while ago that involved some...

I can't connect my car to Wi-Fi at home (apartment) and tried phone tethering and used up my hotspot allowance with the last software update and didn't even get through the whole download. I've read in another thread that you can go to a Tesla Service Center and connect to Wi-Fi to get your...

I'm also surprised the OP got away with forfeiting comprehensive. I would have just made the comprehensive deductible ridiculously high if you were concerned about price instead of forfeiting it completely. Striking an animal is covered under comprehensive. Collision is vehicle-vehicle or...

They require a firm push and should firmly pop in place. Mine are so tight that trying to remove them will actually just destroy the rivet instead of it popping out, so it's a pretty tight fit.

My Model 3 w/ Aero's is only a month old with 1100 miles and I got a flat tire. I optimistically thought I could get back on the road quickly and tried to repair with slime, but it didn't work and I called Tesla Roadside and got a loaner put on. My Service estimate includes a full replacement...

I bought this one and it works great.

Is it normal to activate Sentry yourself while you walk up to your car to unlock? It hasn't been consistent, but sometimes I'll come back with a Sentry event and it's just me walking up to my car to get in. Other times, I walk up to the car (even brushing past the front of the car) and there's...

Your delivery date will be your eligibility date for CVRP. What part of the 2/24 update are you concerned about? The income limit or the vehicle MSRP? From what I've read around, CA is still considering the Model 3 to be within the MSRP income limit since the base line item for the Model 3 is...

Sounds like the same issue I had when I picked up my car February 1st (photo attached with the gap). I didn't bother to debate any panel gaps during delivery and just photographed everything and scheduled an appointment within 24 hours. When I brought my car in, they taped up all the panel gap...

After the Colorizer/Dashcam update, I noticed that the heated steering wheel button moved to the lower center of the HVAC settings, but then I also noticed another icon that I never noticed before. I'm assuming this is the heated wiper option? I just took delivery on 2/1 with VIN 167***. Nice...

Bumping this. I just received my car and am curious if anybody has found a proper solution. I'm fine with activating HVAC to warm the seat, but I thought I'd be able to turn the fan completely off, but it seems the lowest I can go is to Level 1. That's kind of annoying as I'd rather just have...

My VIN was assigned 2 days before I was able to schedule within the 3 day delivery window. (Received VIN on Sunday 1/30 and then was allowed to schedule delivery on 2/1, 2/2 or 2/3). This is in the Bay Area though so I'm not sure if that was due to the short travel time of the car from Fremont.

After no response from the SA text thread, I decided to give them a call. Person on the phone was nice and tried to look for the documents but couldn't find it. He suggested to wait for my real plates to come in, but I said I wanted to submit before the February CVRP rule changes. He seemed...

Does your persistent notification remain in your notification shade? I thought the persistent notification was designed to help keep the app awake in order to quickly connect.

Yes that's what I saw and what I need. I already took delivery and now I cannot access this. Does anybody know how to obtain this again? I've texted the SA number and got no response.

I took delivery of my LR today. Was prepared to look for all the panel gaps and nothing I noticed was horrible (but wasn't perfect). One thing I did notice that I haven't seen anybody talk about is that my front passenger seatbelt anchor extends much farther than the driver's seatbelt. The...

I know other cars have had frameless windows before, but this is my first. I'm so used to pressing the top corner or side of the window (with a frame) to slam my door shut. It's only my first day and have slammed the door shut by pressing the top corner of the glass quite a few times, and now...

Per the CVRP website: Proof of temporary or permanent vehicle registration for the vehicle listed in the application. The applicant’s name must be on the registration, and the registration must be current (not expired). For CVRP Rebate Now applicants, this will be required after vehicle...

None of it is unsightly (maybe the roof panel gap if I really stare). More of it is my OCD and me on the hunt for finding things wrong. The other alignment issues aren't easy to see visually, but more so if I rub my finger along the edge of one headlight, and check it with the other...it feels...

I'm trying to get my CVRP submitted ASAP to make sure I receive my $2000 before they change the rules on me (income limits). I see the application requirements say I need proof of temporary or permanent registration. After I took delivery of the vehicle, I can no longer see where I can...

I've been hanging around just shy over 2 months and it's finally been delivered! Thank you all for helping me maintain my sanity! LR/White/Black/Aero/No-FSD/Colma, CA OD - 11/28 EDD Changes - Too many to count VIN Received - 1/30 Delivery - 2/1 Pretty seamless delivery. I received a text...

I think I've finally figured it out! Drive-Off or "Amount Due" + ("Monthly Payment" * 35 months) + $395 Disposition Fee + Order Deposit + CA Rebate = "Cost Over 36 Months" That was driving me crazy, but it makes sense now and I finally confirmed the lease terms!

My typical anxiety is rising as I'm close to finalizing another large purchase in my life and I have another question: Does the "Monthly Payment" amount include Sales Tax (CA)? In the Price Details of my lease terms, it has a completely separate line item for Sales Tax, and I just want to...

Thank you so much for the clear explanation! I'm aware of paying sales tax on the monthly payment, but this makes much more sense that we pay sales tax on the entire amount of the fixed depreciation, split between the portioned monthly payment and the drive-off. I just never realized that it...

I'm hoping to understand this a bit more as I'm trying to lock down financing before taking delivery in the next few days. I'm looking at the lease numbers in my application, and I'm noticing a Sales Tax line item under "Additional Charges" that seems to increase as I increase my Amount Due at...

Thanks! I noticed that I already have the MVPA uploaded along with the notice to accept the Vision agreement. VIN 167***. Ordered 11/28.

Woke up this morning and saw that I need to accept my Vision agreement so I'm hoping the VIN is coming soon! I just want to make sure I do all the steps correctly to make sure everything goes smooth: when should I contact my SA to switch to Tesla financing and fill out that information (I'm...

I'm also in NorCal and have the same config as you and ordered a day after you (11/28). I've had the same EDDs and then a few days ago it got pushed (went from 1/25-2/8 to 1/27-2/22). I wouldn't get my hopes up lol.

Bumping this as I'm curious as well. I'm strongly considering leasing (no judgement!) and if I choose to trade with Tesla, I don't want the entire lease amount being paid off and would rather take a check.

I'm expecting my M3 to be delivered within the next month (fingers crossed), and have scrubbed through the CA CVRP website to understand what I need to do in order to receive my HOV sticker and $2000 rebate. I had a question on income eligibility: Since I'll be taking delivery during tax...

Same thing happened with me yesterday. My deadline will be the end of March as I don't want to be pay another full year of CA DMV registration on my current car that I'll be getting rid of. I thought I timed everything with enough buffer, but apparently I didn't plan well enough...

Ordered on 11/28 and I've tried to not obsess so I haven't been keeping up with all my EDD changes (but it feels like there's been around 5-6). LR/White/Black/Aero/No-FSD/Colma, CA I just went from a 2 week window to a 4 week window. Was 1/25-2/8 and is now 1/27-2/22. :(

Thanks for the advice. Selecting "Cash" results in a continue button and not a "Save" like the trade-in option. How would I swap back to financing closer to delivery? Do I have to call and talk to somebody, or can it all be done through the website?

OD: 11/28 1st EDD: 2/23-3/23 Delivery: Colma, CA White/Black/Aero/No FSD Interestingly enough, I get a call this afternoon from Tesla customer service thanking me for my order and encouraging me to complete my order tasks including applying for financing. When I told the agent that with an...
