    Updates to referral program (7/7/23)

    no they are not responding to me at all. i think they are getting a few of these and just dont want to deal with it. I am almost to the point of - it is what it is. It sucks but at this point not much we can do either. I have noticed Tesla likes to change the rules on things and you just have...

    Updates to referral program (7/7/23)

    yeah it is a US one, we get $500 here. Let me check my mails for one prior to the 7th.

    yep here is a screen shot of it:

    Updates to referral program (7/7/23)

    yes, but nowhere in the email states that orders prior to the 7th are exempt from the increase in credits, the only timeline is when they state is when the person takes delivery. So I am going to push back on that if they try to say that.

    Updates to referral program (7/7/23)

    Took delivery yesterday and yes I received 2000 credits. I just emailed them via their contact us site this: (I was limited in the amount I could type or it would have been much longer) Referral Program incorrect credits provided. My friend ordered and used my link to pick up a Model Y...

    Updates to referral program (7/7/23)

    Boooo! Did you try to contact someone or chat with someone at the delivery center? Thats what theperson on tesla chat told me to do.
  7. 7BaconTacos

    Updates to referral program (7/7/23)

    Yeah a few of us are in the same situation. Not happy about it. The wording on it makes it sounds like it should be granted on Delivery so in theory, they should change the referrer from the 2K to the 10K when the car is delivered. So ours is going to be picked up this Saturday at 2 PM CT. So...

    Updates to referral program (7/7/23)

    I am in the same boat, my wife ordered a MY on 6/25 and they are claiming since the referal program didnt change until a few days ago I still only get 2000 credits. But her $500 off and 3 free months of FSD will go through. She picks up on 7.22, so we will see if the credits on my referral get...

    Best Credit Union around Los Angeles?

    and were signed up, members, and loan approved! Waiting on a call or communication from them now on the next steps. Was easy peasy :) Thanks again!

    Best Credit Union around Los Angeles?

    Nice to know, thanks! For my 3 I ended up going with Affinity Credit Union, they are sky high on their current rates (7+%). Our window is the 18th through the 27th, so I would hope thats enough time to get the loan stuff sorted with DCU. *crosses fingers*
  11. 7BaconTacos

    Best Credit Union around Los Angeles?

    Does DCU do referrals still, if so can you pm me a referral code to sign up with them (if you would be so kind :) )? We are thinking of going with them and their 65-month option. I did a search and it makes me a bit sick that the rates were sub-2% not that long ago lol.

    Anyone take out a loan this month for their car? What's the lowest rate you have seen?

    interesting, we just did a application so we will see what they say. On the site it shows this: Membership Is Free For Life Membership in NYTEFCU is free. When you join, the first account you open is a Share account. It is referred to as "share" because as a financial cooperative, members own...

    Anyone take out a loan this month for their car? What's the lowest rate you have seen?

    I remember that from when I got my 3 lol. It was def within a week or so, but then ended up having "get it off the train" issues that pushed it back a few days.
  14. 7BaconTacos

    Anyone take out a loan this month for their car? What's the lowest rate you have seen?

    :O Nice! Were in about an 8-day to two-week window before delivery of it. I hope that is enough time.
  15. 7BaconTacos

    Anyone take out a loan this month for their car? What's the lowest rate you have seen?

    Something felt off about that rate. We have a few days to keep shopping around. So far that 3.99 at NYTCU is the cheapest I have seen, but that rate hasnt been updated since May 5th, so not certain its still that low today.
  16. 7BaconTacos

    Anyone take out a loan this month for their car? What's the lowest rate you have seen?

    Auto Loan Refinance Made Simple - AUTOPAY is touting 2.99% but no one here has confirmed that to be true. From what I have been seeing 5-6% is the going rate for new car loans with 72 month term. If someone knows somewhere thats cheaper for that term length, I am all ears :)
  17. 7BaconTacos

    Anyone take out a loan this month for their car? What's the lowest rate you have seen?

    Did anyone successfully get the 2.99% from Autopay? My wife's Y just got a VIN and if so we are going to apply with them. It seems too good to be true though.

    Tow Hitch Question

    thanks for all the input on this. Man thats a bummer you cant get down and see if its installed. that was my plan if CarMax got one locally, its to just peak under and see if its there. I guess it will be like a christmas present and see if its there or not lol. Sucks Tesla increased the...

    Thanks! the ones that dont look like they have it just must be bad pics then.

    Tow Hitch Question

    thanks! I wish carmax would list out the options like tesla does. It would be nice to know if it has the hitch/FSD/EAP/AB.

    Tow Hitch Question

    I have a question that I cant seem to find an answer on, so if this has been asked before I apologize as its not showing up after I have searched for over an hour. My wife and I are in the market for a used Model Y with a tow hitch. I have noticed that CarMax doesn't advertise any of their cars...

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

    how did you get full screen like that? my browser doesnt fill the screen all the way. it still shows the car on the left even after hitting the full screen button.

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

    when you get the cable it routs from the passenger side of the car to the panel underneath the glove box. they will have a video up soon on the process. It was super easy. If I can do it, anyone can do it :)

    PPF and Tint Price

    Not shady at all just a misunderstanding on both our parts. He is going to fix it. The quality of work on both the tint and PPF they did was great. Just this one little hiccup. No biggie, as its going to get sorted.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just seeing this so not sure if its been answered since you asked. No I live in NW Indiana. I did everything online and via phone with them. Super easy processes. :)

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

    not bad, I had already had the covers off so I knew where everything went. I would say for a first time allot 15-20 minutes to do both the cable install and the tparts module switch out.
  27. 7BaconTacos

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

    Update from me as well, received the additional cable and all is working now! No cuphead or sonic tho :( Xbox gamepass works great through the browser though :)

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

    I have this one in my glove box. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ND8JLX5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I was wanting my center console to have power to it as well thats why I wanted the TParts solution. So I could plug in a controller/etc.. into the center without having to have the...

    PPF and Tint Price

    Gotcha, yeah before today I had not even thought about getting the entire windshield done so for us northern folk I think that is a foreign concept lol.

    PPF and Tint Price

    this is what I am talking about to make sure that they are on the same page as you. Some people get the whole window done like this: I dont think this is what you are wanting. Or if it is, then yeah i would say that big of a piece would cost a bit to do. and the other shop is only thinking...

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

    I am not certain that is needed. The silver piece in the picture is the tool that takes it out. It is a little difficult but once you get it its not bad. The abstract ocean one appears to be a rebranded version. I personally went with the amazon listing one from TParts. TParts has been amazing...
  32. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    make sure they arent talking about the WHOLE windsheild. I have seen some reference they do a banner then do clear tint on the front windsheild. Im thinking they are thinking thats what you want. If they are just talking about the 8-10 inch strip that goes on the top thats crazy price :)
  33. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    thanks, this is what I was talking about that I wanted with "one-piece", not the thing that he has on there now. :) I am hoping tomorrow it doesn't look horrible, but I'm guessing it's going to look silly and unfinished and just bad and I am going to have to pay another $200/300 to get it...
  34. 7BaconTacos

    Looking for feedback [on racing stripes on vehicle]

    I actually quite like that. If your not feeling it, maybe measure out how far from the left/right of the T the chip is and put out one piece there, then come off the other side with the same measurement and go on that side. Then it would be two lines to the left and right. Just an idea.
  35. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    yeah its now evolved into "o i didn't mean the ENTIRE back glass, just that it would be one piece" which technically it is, so he isn't wrong. So I guess I asked the wrong question in the beginning if the back glass was going to be "one piece" and he said yeah. So I am going to go Monday and see...
  36. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    Well after doing a hmm.... and some further googling, I am thinking I am regretting letting him do a cut in the back window. I am in talks with him now but if it looks like this, then were going to have a problem because this is not what I asked for nor agreed to in our initial conversations...
  37. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    Thanks!! I am loving the car so far and cant wait until Thursday to get it back :). Gotcha, it is def a tricky one. and not really worried about the heat rejection so much, our summers here in the Chicago area arent overall bad. If we were out west more, I would think about doing that. I have...
  38. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    Sorry I meant the front windshield is 18% just to help a bit more with the incoming sun in the morning and evening since my trips to/from work are both into the sun. The doors and back glass are all 20% The back glass is one piece but it cuts right at where they do the fade/rear window heater...
  39. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    Thanks!!! They did 18% on the front window, and 20% on all other panels. :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This is my thought process as well.
  41. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    Tint is done! Tomorrow starts paint correction for a few blisters that were found and Tesla is paying for to be fixed. Then Monday starts the PPF with pickup for Thursday or Friday depending on how it goes.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    No problem at all. Not trying to sway one way or the other, if you feel giving up that info and doing things via snail mail is worth it, by all means, go for it. From what I understand after the initial snail mail portion everything else is online. So it might not be as bad as what I was...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I ended up not going with them over this reason. The packet they sent me by mail wanted pretty detailed accounts of all our assets and a bunch of other things that I didnt feel pertained relay to them for a 60K auto loan. So I ended up going with Afinity FCU and got a 2.86 @ 84/m rate. So yes...
  44. 7BaconTacos

    PPF and Tint Price

    Looks like you just cost me an extra 3K! lol. I think you are right, for the longevity and cost/hassle in the future that it will bring I think I need to do the full. Plus it makes that paint pop more and looks way better. I actually had seen your video beforehand just from some searches on...

    PPF and Tint Price

    It is actually there now and going to get tinted and started on PPF tomorrow morning. I am going with Attention 2 Detail out of Chesterton, they are over by the new Aldi off of Indian Ridge/149 area if that helps narrow down where they are. The owner Brian walked me through in detail of every...

    Is this going to be plug and play or is it going to require stripping wires/etc..?

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

    Chiming in here with a question. I just got the TParts module in, and verified that there is no power going to the micro USB line in my newer delivered M3LR (Picked up on 6/21, build date of 6/8). I traced the micro USB line out to the passenger side console panel and it just ends. I think this...

    New model 3 and aftermarket iphone cables

    Thanks! I guess a charging cable is not always a charging cable is a charging cable. Does anyone know what the actual difference between the cheapy's are and the official apple ones? I always thought it was just a bit of a quality degradation in materials, I didn't know there was a physical...

    New model 3 and aftermarket iphone cables

    and by "work" I mean just charging, not data. I know about that issue with the newer models.
