Update: Got my car back from the body shop. You would never even know the damage occurred. It took 4 months for my car to get fixed. 2 weeks in, The body shop told me the first piece of glass came in broken and that they had to order it again. After weeks of waiting for the 2nd glass order...

Update: Called my local service center again. They said I can personally drive down, purchase glass from them (which they have in stock), and deliver it to my body shop. Thoughts? Any tips on how to transport a large piece of slightly curved glass? P.S. how the fu<k is there a crate of...

How does one exercise using a car?

Service center is out because the frame rails need repair right where the glass is. My first call was to Tesla SC and that's what they told me. I emailed my insurance agent and asked if we can try a different shop.

Update for anyone following: STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE NEW GLASS FROM TESLA. I call the shop every week hoping "squeaky wheel gets the grease" but squeaky wheel hasn't gotten *sugar*. Coming up on 4 months and still no repairs done from this accident. Shop INSISTS it's a Tesla problem...

It's April 24th now and my Tesla is still in my driveway with broken roof glass and dented frame rails waiting for Tesla to deliver the new glass to the shop. *Supposedly* the new glass got to the shop on March 8th but arrived broken. Not sure if truthful or the shop trying to buy more time on...

It is always along that stretch, but never in the same spot. 34 miles of straight, flat, 70mph cruising is the perfect use for AP, so it really sucks to not use it there. But it also really sucks to almost taste my pre-drive meal for a 2nd time as Muskdaddy sends my forehead toward my steering...

I posted my response to the other two folks and then saw yours. This is my exact experience.

My PB is always occurring on stretches of freeway/highway with no changes in traffic flow or speed limit. For example, this stretch of road is my biggest culprit. My most recent event two days ago occurred on Highway 46 (approximately in this spot). I drive this highway every 4 days. I get...

What kind of driving are you doing? I am on the freeway/highways a lot in California. I have a significant PB event probably 7 out of 10 drives

I highlighted exactly where you are correct. It is a software issue that causes phantom braking combined with its perception of an obstacle from the camera (hardware). In my case, my Tesla cameras see mirages on the desert road ahead of me and for some reason register it as an 18-wheeler that...

Autopilot, ahh yes, just like in the movies about airplanes. Now that I have engaged it, I will climb in the backseat for a quick 15 minute power nap

Try wiping them down with some isopropyl alcohol? Maybe some kind of manufacturing oil on them? Otherwise an easy fix would be to slap some skateboarding grip tape on them and put a Mountain Dew in the cupholder

AP does not respond to traffic signals. That would be FSD. AP is just adaptive cruise control with lane keeping.

I commute from the California coast to the California valley/desert 2x a week. Holy mother of God, when I get into the valley and there are mirages on the road horizon, my 2023 MYLR and 2022 M3LR both will decelerate/brake so hard from 70 MPH autopilot that my stomach feels like it is going to...

Everything I said was purely speculative. In reality, I have no idea what the situation is. You need to take it to your service center and start asking some questions.

Someone took advantage of the 100 mile guarantee Only two scenarios I can think of: - Buyers remorse, got home and realized "I cant actually afford this new car" - Didn't test drive one before ordering. Bought it, accepted it, drove it home and realized they don't like the car. This happens...

Well, I have now copy, pasted, and sent the same text ("My co-registrant cannot be at pick up, is it okay if...") every morning and evening for 4 days and have not gotten a response. So, my mileage is varying on that one.

What size human being fits in the 3rd row? Anyone getting it for some purpose other than human or dog seating?

In the OP I stated that I have been texting the (510) number to no avail. I have been trying to, per the OP. This thread is essentially me looking for people in similar situations to see if they had issues or not. Much like the below poster Okay, that is reassuring to hear (or read) and also...

Okay, so I put my coregistrant on the Model Y but he is out of country for work until May. Hindsight, sure, should have left him off and added later after getting the car. I have tried a dozen times to contact Tesla via email, 510 number, etc and no luck on this question. The Tesla website has...

It is actually a good thing it was me and not her. Seeing how easy it is for the "all powerful" me to do this, moving forward I will now be less critical of her potential mistakes. I do worry that, knowing myself, I would have been very upset with her if she had done this. A good lesson...

MYLR, White/Black/19"/No FSD/5 seats Ordered 1/14, picking up 2/18. SoCal. Austin build. No matrix headlights

Anyone know if I can remove a co-registrant after the fact? Tesla says both registrants must be present, but my co-registrant cannot be there on any of the pick ups days they offered. So now I want to remove them, pick up the car, then add them to the registration down the road at the DMV or...

Delivery scheduled for 2/18 at 1100am. Pick up is 2 hours south and no available friend or family that can take me down. So $44 business class train ticket it is. Should be nice and scenic. Hopefully the car looks good so I don't have to take the train home, too

I consider myself a pretty tough guy, emotionally strong, physically as well. But I damn near did. I called my wife very upset/shocked/enraged and she talked me down. "It's just a car, we aren't broke, we have insurance, it'll be fine" type stuff. I still feel like an absolute moron and am...

Yeah, I'm not worried about the glass at all, I know that's simple. I'm worried that the A-pillar has enough damage to be a structural concern. And with my $62,000 car dropping in value $20k a few weeks ago with the price cuts, I'm scared of turning that $20k drop into a realized loss sooner...

Well, the thing I never thought I would be "stupid" enough to do finally happened to me. After a 2 hour drive, thinking 1000 miles per minute about some stressful stuff I have going on, I pulled into the garage and heard the blood curdling noise of shattering glass and crunching of bike...

Well, don't expect anything after 5pm PST.

I did "ReFeR tO yOuR pReViOuS cOmMeNt" and still stand by mine. if you can find a shop in California that is doing a full vehicle PPF for $2k then report them to the FBI because it is a front for running drugs or human trafficking.

you either have a really great friend with a shop, or your shop is running like the Michael Scott Paper company...at a loss and hoping to be saved by a competitor buying them out before they have to declare bankruptcy my quote from a reputable shop with great prices was $2k for front bumper...

No matrix headlights on my Austin build Built 2/3 at 750pm

VIN Assigned today EDD Feb 15 - Feb 22

We will see. Haven't seen a lot of CA outside of Bay Area getting them quick

What if there is a buyer that feels sorry for me and ALSO hates money? But also, like I said, if the tax credit qualification ends for Tesla, we are looking back closer to 50k again. Speculative, sure...but I need something to help me sleep at night.

appreciate that. yeah... I suppose I am holding my breath that the tax credit goes away in after March and that the M3LR stays unavailable for order. Some people may have a budget of 49-50k and cant squeak that last little bit out for the M3P. maybe

I ordered a MYLR in Jan 2023. With the tax credit and a county rebate of $3,000, my net out the door price will be $49k. I bought a 2022 M3LR for $62,000 out the door in September 2022. My plan is to get the MYLR, and then sell the M3LR. I figure even if I sell the M3LR for $50k (a 12k loss...

MYLR White ex/Black int/Stock wheels/No FSD OD: Jan 14 EDD after order: Mar 2023 EDD since Jan 18: Feb 3 - Mar 3 Hoping for before March, but kind of doubt it. Central Valley, California

1. I am not trading anything. 2. Sales tax is factored into my "net" out the door price of 49k for my Model Y 3. I am not talking about the CVRP, I am talking about Drive Clean San Joaquin 4. FSD is a terrible value at $15,000 and I would never fathom buying it for that.

Bought a M3LR in Sept 2022 for 62k out the door. Heard the news, got pissed...at first. Went ahead and ordered a 2023 MYLR two days ago. With the tax credit and a county rebate of $3k, my net price for this one will be about $49k. Average price between the two vehicles is now $55k. pRobLeM...

The only upside of buying when I did is that I got in right before the removal of USS. Is USS worth $7500 and 10k miles of free supercharging? No, definitely not.

Would be great to see a discount on acceleration boost for those that took delivery of a M3LR in 2022 before all these amazing discounts were given out to new customers. Some kind of thank you to older customers who waited longer, paid the highest price ever for their cars, etc.

This may be the stupidest response to a thread I have ever seen on this forum. Exactly this. I am in Autopilot, NO ONE IS ON THE ROAD, yet autopilot WONT turn the high beams on so that me OR the car can see better because it is registering some inanimate object (like a reflector on the ground...

Update: With more testing, I have found that you canNOT manually control high beams while in autopilot. Auto high beams is your only choice. Really annoying to me, as they will not turn on if there are reflectors on the road in between lanes. They never turn on when I would want them on, but...

I don't want auto high beams on. I don't want to have to hold in the stalk to keep high beams on and release it to turn them off. I want autoPILOT on, but i want to flick the stalk out to turn my highs on and flick it in to turn them off. I want to control my high beams 100% by myself while...

4.9% through Tesla because I will have it paid off in 6 months from taking delivery so didn't care to spend time shopping around to save a couple hundred bucks of interest

How? Once auto high beams are off in AP, pushing the left stalk out just turns auto beams back on, and pulling it in just flashes them (or stay on as long as I hold the stalk in).

I've found auto high beams to be entirely useless 90% of the time. My issue isn't them turning off, its them not wanting to turn on when I'm the only car on the road. When I am in AP, I can turn auto high beam off...but then can I manually control them like I did in my 15 year old ICE car? Or...

It will be fine.

Under no circumstances will you ever see that $250 order fee again the second it leaves your account. You either get a car or you lose $250. No ifs/ands/buts.
