I've had my car 18 months (with the same android phone), and this just started happening last week. I receive or make a phone call while driving. All is well. The mic is working, I hear the other person just fine through the car speakers. Then, all of the sudden, the speakers go silent, and I...

One day, I was driving by the service center.... I decided to just pull in and ask the guy behind the counter how my app could be synched to the car, yet my phone # was not there.. It actually was much more vexing than I even believed. It took them an hour of looking things up, try to re-set...

talking about a cloud profile on my 2022 model 3, which just got a new CPU. The manual link presumes there's a profile already there with an email, and then gives instructions on how to configure it. I'm missing that email-linked account. I only have a local profile with my name. I'm thinking...

Mine - He is new to the "tesla universe". I've had mine for 15 months. (I purchased the car before the cloud profiles existed.) We don't share cars, so he has no driver profile on my car. This is the thing - I don't have my full name / email as an option under driver profiles. Therefore, the...

Hi everyone, I got my car in Feb 2022. I set-up a local profile and drove around happily. Recently, I was having issues with my CPU. It was replaced under warranty. I had to reset all my profile settings. At the same time, my husband got a new model Y. From day 1, he had a driver profile...

hey again, Had a service appt and did more research online. I found this online: Tesla recalls 130,000 vehicles to fix touchscreen issues caused by an overheating CPU I have that computer. When I spoke to the technician in my service center and described the problem, without batting an eye...

OMG, this just happened to me. I just returned from a long road trip. On the way back home, I developed a strong vibration that only happened at above 68mph. I brought my model 3 in to service, thinking I needed an alignment. They replaced the tire! I didn't even know there was foam inside the...

hey fellow NY'er, I've been driving on the belt and cross island for a year. 2+ hours in the AM and another 2+ hours in the PM (love that traffic!). In that whole time, autopilot shutdown once - a rainy dark ride. It was understandable. But this trip was different. After only happening once...

I just returned from a road trip with my 2022 model 3 (version 2023.20.4.1). 500 Miles over 2 days, followed by the same trip back 6 days later in my model 3 with basic autopilot. I had very similar situations on all days during the trip. I was wondering if using superchargers may trigger...

update! We are forced to take delivery on the morning of Friday 6/23, due to our schedule, and tesla's preference of distributing cars ASAP. Holy cow folks, you apparently have to nag Tesla to get a purchase agreement. The whole "we only communicate through apps" thing is counterproductive...

UPDATE on my husband's blue/black model Y: OD = 5/11 1st EDD = June/July 2nd EDD = 5/30 - 6/13 3rd EDD = 6/14-6/30 6/10 = VIN received! From Freemont plant Delivery window = 6/24-6/30 Good times. We'll likely take delivery on 6/30. Now comes the rush to finalize financing, the trade-in (expires...

It sounds super frustrating. I've had a model 3 for over a year... LOVE the seat. Super comfy. My husband decided to buy a Y, but wanted to test drive. We went to the service center, and he drove the car. He (6'3" / about 170lbs) said the test car seat was SUPER uncomfy, but my model 3 seat was...

hi everyone! We're getting our 2nd Tesla. This time, it's for my husband. My husband ordered a blue/black model Y LR, 19" tires, + tow hitch OD = 5/11 (not pessimistic enough to write the year 😆) 1st EDD = June/July 2nd EDD = 5/30 - 6/13 3rd EDD = 6/5 - 6/19 VIN = ??????????? I was hoping we'd...

AND.... delivery window revised. 3rd EDD - 6/5 - 6/19 And we continue to wait.......

Loitering vicariously in this forum for a while... My husband ordered a blue/black model Y LR, 19" tires, + tow hitch OD = 5/11 (not pessimistic enough to write the year 😆) 1st EDD = June/July 2nd EDD = 5/30 - 6/13 VIN = ??????????? All the postings do not make me optimistic that it will be...

The gap thing is sadly not a trivial thing. When I took delivery of my model 3 last year, the glass roof (which comes as 2 panels with a rubber seam in the middle) was not set correctly. The rubber didn't connect the 2 panels... Therefore, my roof was not waterproof! The service center tried to...

My husband just ordered a MYLR also on LI. Blue/black, 5 seat 19" with tow on 5/11. His EDD is 5/30-6/13 currently.... Very similar timing to yours. Seems fast. No VIN yet, though.

That's such amazing luck you had!

You got an awesome buy! PPF and tinting too? Super.... Yeah, I'd hesitate to sell it too. Low profile tires and my rims are too frustrating for me. I spent thousands on multiple sets of tires and rims on my last car.

Yep. I get it. The belt parkway destroyed my former car's wheels several times. I frankly hope to never ever buy a set of rims again. That ship sailed for me.

Well, my mentality is that if I'm spending that much money on a car, I shouldn't automatically have to flip out several more grand to change the wheels. I don't like buying things twice when they're pricey.

Fellow tristate area person.... I wouldn't get a performance, for one main reason: the low profile tires. The potholes where we are kill rims. No matter how careful you try to be, you'll eventually smack into a good bump on a highway (from a pothole repair), or a pothole. Some potholes are so...

I named my model 3 Mr. Li (short for lithium).

Before the repair, there was a gap where I could see the metal frame (of that bar that spans across the cabin ceiling) an inch beneath the glass. There was no seal of the glass to any surface running from left to right side of the car. If the car were in the rain, water would accumulate in the...

The outdoor picture is the "before". The indoor pic is "after". If you look carefully, you can see the seal between the 2 glass panels don't meet-up in the outdoor pic. They do now :-)

update.... Mr. Li went to the car hospital and the roof gap is now fixed 😁 Everything went totally according to plan. Oh, and now my garage is totally set-up too. We're up and running!

I'm going to smithtown, ny. So far, they've had decent service, with the exception of the guy who tried to claim my panel gap was within specs, that is :rolleyes: Good luck to you too!

that is EXACTLY what my roof looks like! Glad to hear it was resolved quickly. I'd like to avoid a period of carlessness.

what stopped me from doing it was the fact you really need a spacious and well-lit garage. That simply isn't my reality. I can tell you that I had in my cart carpro cquartz uk 3.0 + gliss. On a positive note, my car is coming home from the "spa" tomorrow

ha, I just got mine. I can assure you, I'm overthinking it as well. I've watched way too many videos. I was about to do my own ceramic coating... but then I came to my own senses. 😆

Lol. that's exactly what I did. After your earlier comment, I looked it up. Apparently, ppf is not that risky... Ceramic coating may be. I'm getting both. I guess my "Mr. Li" will be a test subject. I'm a scientist, so I'm cool with collecting a data point. :)

Welp, I'm joining all of you folks now! I took delivery today, and saw a panel gap between the rear windshield and the rooftop glass. Normally, a rubber seal spans the gap between these 2 glass pieces. In my case, the rubber seal is only attached to the rear glass. The rear glass is also too...

When my car comes back from detailing, I'm definitely going to check for those!

hmm, didn't really think of that 🤔 Well, "Mr. Li" (short for lithium) was "born" on 2/5, so there only was about 11 days of paint curing time. I hope that's enough time, or else I'm in trouble.

outside. I'm on the fence with ceramic coating on the seats. Does it really protect? Does it make the seats feel more plasticky? Honestly, I'm a DIY-girl. I was originally going to do the ceramic coating myself, and just pay for the ppf. I just don't have the time, and my garage is currently...

thanks :-D My new 4-wheeled friend is at the car "spa" to protect that lovely red. PPF on the nose, ceramic coating, and mud flaps.

I will report this... I saw my car yesterday on the delivery truck. The truck had 5 cars: mine, 2 white, and two BLUE (one blue Y and one M3). Someone's getting blue cars. I hope you get yours soon!

this checklist link has been shared around on this site. It's very useful. Also, if you have a moment, you might want to look at paint issue videos on youtube, so you know what to look for.... specifically underspraying of paint. Paint issues are the only thing the service center can't really...

Sorry, my car is off getting paint protection film.... basically he's at the car "spa". I can describe it though: The 2 panels form a seam. Between the panels, there is a rubber seal. In the case of my car, the rubber seal didn't make contact with the opposite panel. There was a gap of about...

I'm graduating from this board :) I took delivery this morning. Everything is perfect except for 1 unfortunate panel gap between the 2 glass panels on the roof. (The rubber seal doesn't span the entire gap, so water can flow in between.) A service appt is scheduled for later this month to...

I'm not sure if this is a Texas-specific thing, but I had no issue using outside financing up here in NY. Clearly, the title needs to mention the lien holder, if that's what they mean. Perhaps contact your SA about this? My bank required tesla to supply a bill of sale with my bank mentioned as...

That *almost* happened to me. My car was supposed to be delivered on Mon... I was told this afternoon that there was a delivery delay. They said I would have to reschedule if my car didn't arrive by 4pm today. Mercifully, it JUST arrived at 4. So I squeaked right in before the deadline. At...

I confirmed with a live person at Tesla that you can give them a certified check on the delivery day... at least that's true in NY.

I'm picking up my car at the same time as you :-D

Congratulations on your raise!! I'm getting my car tomorrow. In NY, the paperwork is also quite annoying. I had to have my insurance card re-issued 2X in the last 24 hours. The bank wouldn't cut a check today unless my policy was already started, despite me only picking-up the car tomorrow...

I live near the local service center... I saw my car being delivered :D. The SA said it would arrive around 4,... 4:30pm, it was there, still perched on the truck with protective cling film on it. Picking it up tomorrow!

I hope you get a vin exactly when you're about to return home! btw, I LOVE your avatar pic 🤣

I had to wait for the vin to get quotes. However, when you sign-up for a policy, you choose the start date. Therefore, my new policy begins on Wed when I pick-up the car :-) However, we're supplied the insurance cards / docs as soon as we sign-up. Therefore, you can give that to the service...

I just did the insurance quote thing... Companies vary massively. I'm in NY and can't get tesla insurance. However, I found that progressive and all state had rates MUCH lower than my current policy (Geico). I will be spending $1200 LESS a year insuring my family through either of those...

I've seen that happen to many people on this board... and then suddenly, it will drop back to early march. Overall, I suspect the first EDD seems to be the most accurate, no matter what chaos happens afterwards.
