    M3 LR Mud Flaps

    I'm starting to think think @Ther0ck is friends with the owner of those mudflaps or is getting kickbacks for recommending them. He has no explanation so far as to why they are "garbage" expect for maybe that he threw them away.

    M3 LR Mud Flaps

    Man. I thought $40 for the OEM Tesla ones was a crazy high price to pay for some plastic, $100 is insane.

    Xbox.com/Play - Cloud Gaming on a Tesla Browser Works

    Ryzen, but the game itself is just a stream so it shouldn't make a huge difference.

    Xbox.com/Play - Cloud Gaming on a Tesla Browser Works

    Just thought I would let everyone here know an easy solution to playing other games on the Tesla via the browser. Just head to the below link and start playing. So far I have had a decent experience and the Xbox controller connected wirelessly with an 8Bitdo adapter in the glovebox is working...

    Made Some LED Tesla Logos for my Garage

    Copied your idea, but with with a bit more customizable LEDs. Thinking about integrating them with to show the charge level of the Tesla.

    Spotify - Buggy/Not Loading?

    Yep. Ran this update today, I had been hopeful it was going to resolve this issue but it did not.

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    Make sense, my goal was only to get the wireless controller working without the need to disconnect and reconnect the flash drive. I am worried that if I had the module sticking out of those USB's I would manage to forget and break it off.

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    I have the 8bitdo adapter plugged in to a hub in the glovebox, and have had no issues connecting my Xbox wirelessly. You do have to make sure it is for an Xbox One and not the newer one for the Xbox Series X/S though. It works great with Sky Force, haven't tried with anything else though.

    Spotify - Buggy/Not Loading?

    Adding myself here. Same issue after the last update. Won't load 90% of the time unless I go to another music app then back to Spotify. Sometimes won't load at all after being asleep for a while, after about 5 minutes I get the refresh arrow and it works. Also had an issue yesterday with it...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    Yes, this is exactly right. The difference is that Tesla has to expect a user to plug in a USB to a USB port. They however do not have to expect someone to remove and replace an entire module that isn't considered a user replaceable item. You are not modifying a part of the car by installing a...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    I agree that the chances are slim, but not impossible, I have in fact encountered many failures on a PC due to a faulty USB device. Just an internally shorted one or bad driver will cause kernel panics and a BSOD. And the problem with the logic of taking it out doesn’t work on a Tesla like it...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    I am all for you standing behind your product. But please do not mislead people in to thinking that it will not void their warranty if it does cause an unforeseen issue to their car. I have processed over 10,000 warranty claims in my lifetime for various automotive dealers and can say with 100%...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    Thanks for the Link. In my honest opinion this doesn’t prove that the hub caused any issues. They simply stated the CPU usage was high likely due to the hub. Software can and will always have bugs, and yes, adding 4 or 5 peripherals to a computer will always increase resource usage and on a car...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    I’ve read through plenty of these threads and have yet to see anyone complain of this issue. Can you link it here? Also, being from the automotive industry and knowing how warranty works you’re 99% more likely to void all your warranty with this than you would with a hub. I say you’d be just as...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    I understand what the device does, doesn’t make it worth the additional price. I’m not sure what you mean by a defective part since it functions as advertised, also not sure how you’ve determined it’s automotive grade as the pictures look like generic Chinese parts to me. And if it malfunctions...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    $12 for a hub from Amazon is quite a bit cheaper. If it doesn’t work I can return for free. I’ll take my chances and see how it goes.

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    Holy crap. I had this thing in my cart thinking about buying it, but today I went to place the order and it went up $20. Guess I will be buying a hub, $70 was already pushing it for what I would be willing to spend.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I wouldn't say this is 100% true. I applied to DCU for $56k and was instantly approved about 2 weeks before I got a VIN. Once I got my VIN and MVPA I called them will the final amount after the down payment and they sent a check the next day. Probably the easiest car loan I have ever had.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    DCU offers 1.24% if you're a member doing direct deposit and financing an EV. I did have to mention the direct deposit to get the extra .5% when I was talking to the agent before they gave it to me.

    Texas is different, the car has to be fully paid for before delivery here.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Charge isn't immediate. When I signed up my browser never would go past the "setting up account" page. I got an email login with an application status, but the member number was blank. I had to call and have them get my member number fixed. Sat on hold for about 2 hours so I for sure recommend...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yep, they shipped mine next day. Make sure you know where it is shipping, they sent it to me instead of directly to Tesla. Had to sign and re-ship to Tesla when I got it.

    This isn't true at all. Tesla insurance is available in Arizona, California, Illinois, Ohio and Texas.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I would shop around first. Farmers (my current insurance) quoted me around $1100 for the Tesla. Allstate was $1050 for the Tesla AND our other car. Saved us about $600. Tesla was around $125 a month and from what I have heard, it's a pain to deal with them on a claim.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Definitely unacceptable. If I were you I would just return the entire car.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    So I got the check image and tracking number from DCU and sent it over to [email protected] so they could get my payment info completed on their end...just to find out DCU sent the check to me and not Tesla. If anyone goes through them you might want to double check where the check will...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    If these quotes for $500 are including parts, you're getting a pretty decent deal. I installed my own charger less than 10 feet away from the panel and the cost of wire alone was around $150.

    Pretty much the same here, the wife just got herself a new Jeep Wrangler so now I am just waiting for my Tesla. Talk about exact opposite ends of vehicle types.

    I called (888) 518-3752 had no issue get straight to an agent and this was on a Saturday.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It never showed up in the source code before I got the text saying a VIN was assigned. It also didn't show up immediately in the app but did on the website.

    Was what showing in the source code?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Pretty sure you can't register a car if the title isn't in your name, so I am pretty sure I bank isn't going to let you title a car in someone's name that is not on the loan.

    I don't have an SA, so I just called. Took about 5 minutes from phone call to it reflecting in my account. Super easy.

    This looks great! I wish I had the space to put something up like this.

    I have this brand of case on my iPhone. 2+ years and it's still holding up strong.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This is probably the best response, I replied with the VIN and mileage to the text and got an update saying to check my account for the info.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just got the VIN text a few minutes ago! Questions about anyone buying from Texas, the App says that I must upload insurance with the Tesla VIN. I thought I had read on here you could just upload your current insurance while you worked on getting it moved to the Tesla. Also, I selected cash to...

    It's a stack of solar panels. Hoping to charge the Tesla mostly by solar.

    Another delivery in preparation for the Tesla. Still just waiting on that VIN but at least I have something while I wait.

    No, usually the text is sent a couple weeks before your EDD automatically.

    Right? 6 inches of snow wouldn't stop anyone here either, maybe Dallas or somewhere further south, but NH? I know for a fact they're well equipped to handle that type of weather.

    Took them about 3 days to get back to me on the trade. Don't hold out on their trade though, there's a pretty good chance they offer will be terrible.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It's just a automated thing depending on how close you are to your EDD. I got mine last week and still don't have any other movement.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I am actually going to go ahead and install a 14-50 outlet off the inverter as well. I’m slowly putting together the solar system as my budget allows, and I’m not sure it would be able to handle the full amp capacity of the wall charger when its done. I decided to grab the wall charger because...

    Got my wall charger installed. Now just need the car.

    Man you're just a negative Nancy about everything Tesla aren't you? Maybe you should get the Kia because I am willing to bet you'll have a lot more negative things when you actually get it.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    saw The general consensus is to select cash and have your SA change it when you’re ready to take delivery. It’s hard to say with 100% certainty that you won’t get a delivery date without doing that, but no reason to take that chance.
  48. J

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    To clarify I didn’t mean I went through Tesla. I used DCU and would definitely recommend them for a lower interest rate.

    Unfortunately we do not have anything like that. You HAVE to trade to the same dealer you're purchasing the vehicle from for it to be applicable for the tax benefits.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I ended up going through them since my local credit union was being stupid about the process. Took me about 5 minutes to apply and get approved, but only after spending around 3 hours on hold trying to get them to give me my member number. That process was a little annoying but the loan process...
