    Car Lock sound

    The car is re-locking after you close the trunk. You are probably getting to your side door and opening at the same time the car’s system is catching up to the closing of the trunk. Give it a few seconds after you close the trunk to see if the lock sound happens. Then open your driver door...

    rcm2_a636 Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Fault - Mobile Service Eligible?

    I'm getting the same RCM2_a636 code. Just showed up 12/3/23 yesterday. Wouldn't clear all day, even after a passenger came in and out. Tesla also told me it has to be at a service center and their $0 estimate (still under warranty) has a recplacement of the Occupancy Control Sensor and a...

    Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Fault

    Good Day All...Just got alert for the Front Passenger as well. Error code is "RCM2_a636". Happened when passenger exited the car after a 15min drive home, and wouldn’t clear all day yesterday (Sunday). I got a service center appt (which was wonky to begin with anyways) for 12/12. They told me...

    Great news for Tesla Model 3 owners with Pirelli PZEROs!

    It doesn't hurt to try as you got your vehicle BEFORE 6/2022...But if you've worn down the tire more than 2/32" from original on your 6K miles, then you won't. You may as well try at America's Tire or a dealer like that. Worst case is they say no. It's still better to get a replacement tire...

    Window tinting questions, costs, and pics

    Thank you. Concours Auto Spa! Doug is the owner and great guy to work with. Their Torrance Shop is on Van Ness and Del Amo. They also have a Marina Del Rey shop - but I wanted to be able to ride my Onewheel to get home and when I had to go pick it up. I did the Tint and Full PPF Wrap. They do...

    "New" Sources of Tesla 'OEM,' Tesla-like, and/or Third-Party CCS1 Adapters

    Shoots, @adam19 - saw your post as I scrolled up from my reply. Sorry about that. Sad that we had the same moment about the packaging. Just bizarre, right?

    "New" Sources of Tesla 'OEM,' Tesla-like, and/or Third-Party CCS1 Adapters

    Adapter arrived today and looks just fine. Just a WTF Tesla moment seeing the shipping packaging. 😂 Like they grabbed it off a pallet, stuck a UPS label and off she goes!

    Great news for Tesla Model 3 owners with Pirelli PZEROs!

    Agreed and coming to this same conclusion now. Oh well, at least I am back on the road and now have all tires warrantied through America's tire.

    Great news for Tesla Model 3 owners with Pirelli PZEROs!

    Ok, Just posted my saga - but now you may know a bit more where it's coming from. Warranty writing changed in June. Sorry to hear. Agreed on skipping Tesla at this point and just going with a regular tire house that WILL warranty the tire for future.

    Great news for Tesla Model 3 owners with Pirelli PZEROs!

    Good Day Folks...so after 4033 miles, i finally hit a pothole hard enough to get a sidewall bubble. Went to America's tire and tried fighting for a warranty replacement. They took a copy of the attached warranty (June '22 Revision I) and tagged the tire for a claim. I still paid about $400 for...

    Anyone ordering vanity plates for their M3?

    Just arrived. 9 weeks from order to delivery. Got a little M3P hidden in there. 😉

    The price difference may have also been the conversion from USD to Won and the dollar being stronger in value.

    "New" Sources of Tesla 'OEM,' Tesla-like, and/or Third-Party CCS1 Adapters

    A little confused cause if you bought the CCS1 adapter, it’s basically both ends you have circled with no white handle part required. This is Tesla to CCS1 already.

    Just wanted to say hello again. Also let you recent deliveries, or have cars already - the OEM CCS1 adapter is now on sale at the Tesla store. It looks up your vehicle by account and seems to not let you purchase if you’re not eligible. So, in case you want expand your supercharging outlets -...

    Just ordered mine! I also got refunded from that CCS1 site/store in Hawaii within a day of me writing them - no issues and no fight required.

    Why I went w Amex. Already got my money back. If nothing is heard from the company - which is probably the case, by 12/09, the matter will be closed. If that company really wants any $$, they’ll either send me the adapter or provide some real estimates on delivery. At least for now, no money...

    Thanks for your post. I ordered as well, even traded e-mails with this Emma person from teslaccsadapter.com - between 9/2-9/6. Order was placed on 8/17 and the charge cleared already - no flags. They told me they needed another couple of weeks. Calling Amex now. I used my Platinum so I think...

    When my Wrap shop had the spoiler for PPF wrapping, they showed me how little of the factory adhesive was actually in contact with the trunk lid. Probably only about 30% contact in total. One benefit of the PPF on the Trunk lid (or any wrap) is that it may widen out the diameter a bit on that...

    If you can call the Tesla # that has been texting you, you should try and schedule delivery with a person. I never really got put on hold too long, but I've read some long times on here every so often. If you have the time to call, you may be surprised by the result.

    I think the Ceramic coat on top of the full PPF wrap would be overkill. Also, right about no "direct mechanical damage" prevention from Ceramic Coating...it's just a chemical bonding thing as you describe. I got the full glossy(or standard clear) PPF wrap done over the whole car. Then I use...

    I got a wall connector b/c I didn’t want to depend solely on the mobile charger and leave without it. I kept checking Tesla’s store until a single 14-50 adapter came in stock and bought it. Now for $45, I have a kit worth $200. And, I did order that mobile connector kit with the same two...

    Congrats! Same config here. Hope you got a J1772 adapter too...didn't see you mention that. Mine was in the Mobile Connector Bag. Also - check for the little wire tool to remove your Uberturbine Center caps. Mine didn't come with the little wire poker tool. I heard you could go to a Service...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    Yes, put them on fully using the PPF backing first. Basically, I didn’t want to give the police another excuse to pull me over. Used a wet application method and lined them up accordingly. Happy with how it came out - and every time I commute in the HOV past traffic, they(stickers) bother me...

    I went ahead and put an order in, at that teslaccsadapter.com site. I know - probably overpaid by $200. Once I get hands on, I'll post how it turned out and if I will keep it or not. They do have a return policy, and I also used Amex, so I think I could always return it and have Amex fight for...

    @JLTezM3 - I just ordered from there. $495 price. OEM Tesla adapters are going for $1K on eBay. The company’s contact address is in Hawaii. Site says ”…takes up to 5-7 business days to have your CCS adapter ready for shipment from Tesla Manufacturing Facility.” Will ship free via DHL. Used...

    I don't think so - my Mobile Connector only came with the 5-15 adapter. I bought a 14-50 adapter from Tesla for $45. If they give it to you - let it ride. You did get a J1772 adapter, too, right? That's separate from the Mobile Connector Kit, but they put it in the same bag in the trunk...

    If you know how much you're going to finance, that's all Tesla wanted to know from me, if you're not going with Tesla Financing. From there, they take the difference + taxes + fees, etc, and come up with your down Payment. Along with loading proof of insurance - DOES NOT have to be your Tesla...

    You can do the Cashier Check Route - or an ACH Payment in the App, or use their Plaid link in the app as well. The main difference in the app - I didn't use Plaid to link to a bank account because it would basically get your log-in info and have access to your whole account. I forced the app...
