Still live. Charging right now. Still doesn’t show on map.

Feels like those cable spools have been sitting in the same spot forever.

Something has changed recently. My iPhone (running iOS 15.4) and MY connect just fine via Bluetooth as always. I’ve tweaked no BT settings at all. But now, when I pull up one of my Favorite contacts on-screen and tap the “text” button, nothing happens. No activation of the mic to begin...

I guess my question then is - how thick is touch-up paint, generally? Can I (or do I need to) apply in layers until the chip fill is flush with the original paint?

I have a very small paint chip in my front bumper than I want to fix before getting the PPF on my Pearl White MYLR5. I went to the Tesla site thinking "Who else would have a better paint match than the actual manufacturer?", but then I saw their disclaimer: "Final results of Pearl White may...

Thanks to you all for the replies. I had the four door windows and the hatchback window done today within my state's legal limits. Did not do the roof. That said, the roof does get pretty hot to the touch down here in the strong Louisiana sun. Nothing that will actually burn you, but...

I just got the car yesterday, so, no. I never would have dreamed that the car would heat up to 99° so quickly. Then color me duly impressed. I likewise never would have dreamed it could cool that quickly

Thanks. Like I said, it just seemed fast even taking the Sun into account. And the temperature decrease seemed too fast as well.

I am SuperCharging my MYLR for the first time. As I was walking away from the car, there was a loud fan sound coming from the car. This is normal, yes? My real question is that I am sitting in a restaurant while the car charges. It is a sunny day in Louisiana, around 78°. I am looking at...

Thanks. The chat SA just told me that the showroom does indeed need to receive the docs with wet signatures before they will transport. But Lord knows, the chat SAs have been wrong before, more than once. 🤞 You will be able to knock me over with a feather if they receive my wet docs on...

So the app has me set for a 3/25 home delivery. Today, 3/22, I received an email from UPS telling me I will have a delivery tomorrow afternoon (3/23) from “Tesla Registration Services,” which I assume contains the docs that need to be wet-signed before delivery can be completed. The showroom...

It seems we may both be right. According to some posts on MacRumors, iOS will “remember” your toggles for Airplane mode. Like, if you toggle on Airplane Mode, and then (re-)enable BT while still in AM, iOS will remember that “state” the next time you toggle AM. So, AM can indeed toggle off BT...

I just toggled Airplane mode three times on my iPhone X. Each time, BT and cellular turned off, and Wifi was left on.

Enabling Airplane Mode absolutely turns off Bluetooth, at least on iOS. It doesn't turn off wi-fi, however.

Louisiana does not allow Tesla direct sales, which I guess explains why I have to drive 2.5 hours into Mississippi to pick the car up. But yeah, based on what you are saying, I would have expected them to hit me up for some money by now. Maybe it’ll be like @Brolan, and everything will start...

Maybe I’m watching the wrong delivery day videos then. Not at all unsettling or chilling.

My gym has cubbies, but not lockers. It’s a pretty small Anytime Fitness (as we live in a small town), certainly not state-of-the-art like other AFs in major metro areas. But it’s three minutes from my house, it’s kept very clean, and it has all the equipment I need. I didn’t know about...

Seems like from the delivery-day videos I’ve watched in YouTube, it seemed like 90 minutes soup-to-nuts (check-in, inspection, paperwork, topping off the battery, etc.). YMMV, I’m sure.

Is there any need to turn off the entire phone if just toggling off the BT accomplishes the same goal?

That’s exactly what I was getting at. Even if I lock it with the card, if I leave phone BT on, and leave phone in the car, anyone could walk up and open the door.

I’m trying not to be more of a PITA than I already have been with them. Picking up the car is a 5-hour round trip, plus the 90 minutes or so for the paperwork and hand-off. So, it’s a full day off of work. I just don’t want to put in the PTO and rearrange my work schedule only to drive 2.5...

But if I leave BT on, the car will not lock (or will not stay locked) using the card on the pillar? Is that also right?

So turning the BT off means the car won’t auto-lock, but I can still manually lock with the card on the pillar?

I didn’t know holding the card against the pillar would lock as well as unlock. But that makes sense, as how else would you lock it if you didn’t have a phone? But with the phone still inside, will the car stay locked? The car won’t sense the phone inside and unlock itself?

Tesla/U.S. Bank. They were on-par with my local CU. I got the VIN last Sunday, less than 24 hours after I placed my order. So I’ve had the VIN for several days. And I have a finalized date and time for pickup (approximately 72 hours from the time I am writing this post). So like you said...

The Tesla site states: “We will contact you to sign contracts and make final payment prior to delivery.”

My pickup appointment is in three days. I’ve already uploaded my insurance info via the app, so the first two checkboxes are done. I would have thought Tesla would have asked for my final payment (down payment, since I’m financing) by now, but not so much. How close to pickup date does the...

I live in the U.S. Deep South where the sun is very strong and the temperatures are high. I’ve never had car windows tinted before, but I am thinking about it for my incoming MYLR. I called around today asking about ceramic tinting, and the one place I got a hold of quoted me $550 to tint...

I thought about that, but then I saw this in the manual:

Don't have my MYLR yet. As of now, I'm driving a regular ICE Mustang with a key fob. I usually leave my wallet and phone in the car (tucked out of sight) when I go to the gym. I don't use the phone while working out, and leaving it (and the wallet) in the car means two fewer things I have to...

I just checked, and they said it still hasn't arrived. Oh, well - it was worth a shot. 👍

Thx. I have a pickup appointment on Monday. Would love to get it earlier so I can mess around with it over the weekend. I'm not going to stress about it, but good to know that kind of thing does happen, so I know to keep an eye out, on the off-chance I get lucky.

Sorry to hear that. But you have it now, yes?

I don’t mean your delivery window, but rather your fixed date/time for pickup listed in the app. Like, do they ever reach out and say “We know your pickup date is not until this coming Saturday, but the car is ready now, so you can come in sooner if you like”?

Thx. I don’t want it “that bad.” Like I said, I was just curious as to how easy/hard it would be for Tesla to integrate it from a software platform standpoint.

I have no - I mean, zero - knowledge of programming or coding. And I'm not here to litigate the merits of CarPlay or why Tesla should/should not allow it on the software platform. But I'm curious, so I'm just floating the question out to those who might know - if Tesla did decide to play...

I'm in the same climate as you. Yes, I've seen films on white cars really stand out in terms of how dirty they get.

Thx. I live in the U.S. Deep South, so ice (and road treatments for ice) are not a factor for me. But I live in a somewhat rural area with our fair share of gravel roads and driveways. Nothing where I would be driving 100kph across such surfaces, but for $50, I guess I can't go wrong.

Seems like a lot of people agree that mudflaps are a worthwhile investment. But what about the paint-protection film that Tesla bundles with the mudflaps as the “All-Weather Protection Package” - worth it? Worth it for some but not for others? Or a waste of money? Plz and thx.

Oh, I’ll get them. I just don’t know if there’s really any substantive difference between the OEM and the various highly-reviewed/rated 3rd-party versions on Amazon.

Thank you! Oy. I didn't know there was that much to say about mudflaps.

I have a week to gather my accessories in anticipation of my 3/15 delivery. As far as mudflaps go, is there a go-to brand that people use? The OEM? Basenor? Or is a mudflap a mudflap and they al perform equally well, more or less?

My VIN came in less than 24 hours after ordering on Saturday. Pickup is this week. I thought I'd have several weeks to gather information on charging, but now I am under the gun to bring myself up to speed. Please forgive stupid questions, as I am starting more or less at Square One here...

That’s a great question. I loathe Spirit Airlines, but they are, like, $70 each way between New Orleans and Tampa, even on close-in dates. It’d be a huge bummer to get out there and have to reject, but probably not a huge financial problem to get home.

Well, I originally wanted a LR, but estimated delivery listed on the main site was August. I can’t wait that long, as I am in a rental due to my car getting totaled. The other guy’s insurance is paying for the rental, but they won’t pay all the way through August. So I ordered the...

After weeks of hemming and hawing, I finally placed my order last night. The main site said “Estimated Delivery - April,” and I was cool with that. Gave me plenty of time to shop for financing & insurance, pick out accessories, etc. Later in the evening, the app gave me an updated delivery...

And just like that, less than 24 hours after placing my order and being given an EDD between mid-May and mid-June, I get a call from a SA stating that they found a MYLR in my desired colors. VIN is now attached. I wanted the MYLR all along, but I had ordered a MYP because I didn't want to wait...

I caught that.

Thx. Do you know if switching to Pearl altered your pick-up date, one way or the other?

Ordered yesterday (3/5/22) when the site listed “April” as EDD. White/black. No FSD or tow hitch. My app lists May 10 - June 7 as my delivery window in Memphis. I know enough not to place too much stock in those dates. But really hoping I can get the pickup closer to New Orleans, like Pearl, MS.
