    Paint chip repair in Washington DC, MD, VA area?

    Where you able to find a shop? I'm in the Alexandria/Kingstown area and did the same thing. Also have a small chip on the front hood. My goal is to get the chip on the hood touched up and have a carbon spoiler installed on the rear trunk. Thanks.

    Alexandria VA 22315 area - looking for shop that can touch up a paint chip problem, install carbon rear spoiler

    I'm in the Alexandria/Kingstown VA area and would like to find a shop that can touch up a paint chip ding and install a carbon rear spoiler on my Model Y 2022. While I could probably touch up the chip and install a spoiler, I'm all thumbs and will make a bigger mess. Also would like to have...

    How to you repair/paint wheel rim rashes

    I've got a wheel rim rash from hitting the curb as I turned into my parking spot. Any suggestions on what to use to paint it? I thought of buying a black paint kit from Tesla, but prefer not to since my car is blue. Thank you.

    Cargo cover on new Model Y's

    I picked my Model Y up this past weekend from Tysons VA - no cargo cover. I did find what looks like a good one at Tesbros.com. Looks like it's easy to install and fits well using double-sided tape. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this. There are a lot of cargo versions on...

    My order date was 01/13/22. My VIN was assigned at the beginning of April. I received a text from Tyson's the last week of April that my car was being delivered and to start doing the rest of the app actions and to consider a delivery date. To the best of my knowledge the car arrived at...

    GREAT NEWS - They're scheduling deliveries. I've got an appointment for this Saturday at 1:30 pm. They sent a text message with a link to schedule the appointment.

    Now they're waiting for bolts? LoL. I thought of trying what you did but at this point is seems very risky. Tesla is talking about not accepting any new orders. In one article I came across it seems they've been trying to convince people with long range orders to take delivery of a short...

    I'm a firm believer in putting 50% down on houses, cars and boats. My opinion is that it protects you against not being able to sell, ending up having to come up with cash to sell, and it keeps 50% of the cost in the bank earning more than the financing difference. In my case a doubling of the...

    US Bank financing, rate lock extension

    I was quoted 2.99% and I'm counting on a 60 day lock which by my calculations expire on 07/01. Tomorrow I'm going to text Tyson's again and see if they have an update. If the car isn't delivered by the end of the week I'll contact US Bank and see if they are planning to extend the approval and...

    Q A quick suggestion then - wait till the very last minute before completing the tasks related to financing, down payment and insurance. A lot of us did it when we were contacted about a delivery date. For me that was at the end of April with delivery the end of the first week of May. The car...

    What? Do you know when your car arrived at Tysons? My 5 day range is still sliding out each day by a day, now it's 6/15-6/19. At the beginning of last week I got excited because the slide stalled for several days making me think they were working on the car.

    US Bank financing, rate lock extension

    Has anyone with USBank financing approval been able to get them to extend the duration of the approval? I've been waiting for the Tyson's Corner facility to release my car since the beginning of May. My approval duration supposedly ends at the end of this month. I got a really good rate...

    I don't understand it. The ECU part is available and has been ever since our cars were delivered at Tysons. This statement is based on the simple fact that cars arriving after ours are rolling out to customers with the part! My financing likely expires at the end of the month.

    Still waiting here on Tyson's. In response to my text messages, SA called on 05/16 and said maybe by 5/19. SA called again on 06/04 and said maybe this past week, this week, 90% chance by the end of the month. My 60 day financing is up at that time.

    Additional warranties at a cost beyond what the product comes with is a stacked bet against the consumer. Regardless of anecdotal stories, they are a waste of money. The manufacturing industry designs warranties based on statistics related to item/part failures. They know, based purely on...

    Last two days my delivery date window range of 5 days stopped slipping. I was all excited until it changed this morning to 6/10-6/15. Back to the rolling delivery window. A service advisor had called on 06/04 in response to my text for an update. He said maybe this week or next, 90% change by...

    Long drives with degrading battery

    I'm sure this is overkill for most people, but I plot out every Tesla charging station up and back. I print out the info for each station then put it in a booklet. One of the things I look for is the availability of restaurants, etc. When driving I use the navigation system and then decide on...

    Got a call from Tysons this afternoon. They're working on it. Maybe this week or next. 90% chance before the end of the month. At least they're trying to respond when you contact them. That gives me a better outlook on things.

    Charging Cables Included?

    Has Tesla been delivering the Model Y cars with the charging cable kit if they were ordered before April (when they decided to stop including them)?

    I bought a Model 3 in 2019. Did it all on-line, including Tesla financing and trade-in. It was amazing at how easy the process went. They delivered the car to my house and drove my trade-in away. In the 3 years that I owned it they came to my house to service it - they upgraded the FSD to...

    Time for action - Delivery Delays Because of Missing/Faulty ECU Charge Module

    I've seen several articles like this. It's not a supply issue if people are receiving cars with the components while others are still in a holding pattern. This is nothing more than a matter of priorities on the part of Tesla. Supplies are prioritized for the assembly line to keep the number...

    Time for action - Delivery Delays Because of Missing/Faulty ECU Charge Module

    I've seen several articles recently that allude to supply chain issues as the cause for the delay of final deliveries and missing/faulty components. It's not a supply issue if people are receiving cars with the components while others are still in a holding pattern. This is nothing more than a...

    Car at delivery centre but Tesla waiting for a part?

    The delivery center contacted me about what date was best to do the delivery acceptance. That meant I had to finish the "tasks" in the app - downpayment and insurance. Looking back on this I should have waited until it became an issue with them.

    Bad delivery experience

    You've been more reasonable that I would have been. A touch up or two for scratches is not a problem. But that amount of work is not reasonable. Why accept a new car with lots of body work done on it. RE: can't refuse delivery of the next car - I would call that a BS statement which wouldn't...

    Time for action - Delivery Delays Because of Missing/Faulty ECU Charge Module

    I think they're not aware of the impact on customers beyond the wait game. Yes, they're overwhelmed, backed up, supply chain issues - basically extreme success for Tesla, but not a good excuse for poor customer service. In my case it took 7 days for the Tyson's group to contact me in response...

    Time for action - Delivery Delays Because of Missing/Faulty ECU Charge Module

    You do make a good point. I'm still in a wait and see mode at the moment. It's been a month. The Tesla site says financing approval is good for two months, depending on the institution maybe longer.

    Time for action - Delivery Delays Because of Missing/Faulty ECU Charge Module

    I've been waiting for final delivery from Tysons facility in VA since the first week of May. I'm giving it one more week before I start my writing campaign. LinkedIn and FaceBook are wonderful places to discover who does what at a company such as Tesla? What if we all started contacting and...

    Still waiting on Tysons since the first week of May. Was told on the 16th that maybe it would be released on the 19th. Guess I'm not getting it for the holiday.

    Car at delivery centre but Tesla waiting for a part?

    Tyson's VA - Delivery, Model Y - got VIN, 4 day window moves out each day, 1 day at a time

    No text or email yet. At the beginning of the month someone called and ask what the best days were for scheduling the delivery. So I completed everything - financing, down payment which was 50% (losing some interest income there) and paid for the insurance since I had a VIN and the delivery...

    Tyson's VA - Delivery, Model Y - got VIN, 4 day window moves out each day, 1 day at a time

    Ordered a Model Y LR AWD with FSD, got a VIN and 4 day delivery window at the beginning of May. That delivery window of 4 days changes every day, pushed out by 1 day. I finally reached Tesla in Tysons and they said several customers are in the same situation due to QA and that the car is...

    Experiences so far in trying to sell a Tesla Model 3 LR RWD

    I'm beginning to discover the hidden truth behind that. GiveMeTheVin is a national reseller company. They buy cars and then resell them through "auctions". Then they end up being offered to the public. Someone called me from Texas, sent the request to a "funding group" which if approved...

    Experiences so far in trying to sell a Tesla Model 3 LR RWD

    Thank you. I just tried them. Their offer is similar to other sites. I'm finding it hard to accept what is offered for cash from dealers versus a private sale. While I understand they need to make a profit, I don't think the profit is reasonable for an electric car. They're just going to...

    Experiences so far in trying to sell a Tesla Model 3 LR RWD

    Very interesting experience so far. CarMax, Vroom, etc. are offering cash at either the high-end of their on-line quotes or the very bottom, depending on which site you go to. My visit to CarMax was quick and easy, very professional. Craigslist generates the least number of responses, but...
