    Can you get Tesla to transfer free unlimited supercharging to a new car purchase?

    Questions. About to Buy.

    Thanks. I saw the referral award page but it doesn’t list the actual benefits. The app shows swag you can redeem for, but no discounts on another car for yourself or another purchaser.

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Paid a lot more for my S in ‘17. After every price drop I was mad as hell and swore never to buy another Tesla. Then this last price drop hit and I’m starting to think I need to get another Tesla…

    Questions. About to Buy.

    1) Is Autosteer on highways standard or only part of EAP? 2) If I’m an existing Tesla owner, what award or discount can I get for referring myself? 3) If my wife isn’t a Tesla owner and the car is bought under her name using my referral link, what award or discount do we get? 4) Is it...

    Removing Paint Scratch

    I scratched my paint in the rear bumper and I can feel it with my fingernail. Any specific rubbing compounds that people have used with success? I'm not sure if I see metal underneath; looks white. I'm thinking of this one...

    Cheap HPWC install?

    I have a HPWC (referral reward "signed" by Elon) I want installed in my detached garage, located about 20' from the main panel on the side of the house. I'm considering upgrading the panel as well, to 200A. My car is a 2017 75D. Is there a way to avoid the "Tesla Tax" when explaining the...

    Supercharging Fees Coded As Fuel For Credit Card?

    Just wondering if my credit card bonus for gas stations would work for Supercharging since I don’t go to gas stations anymore. Does Tesla code Supercharging fees as fuel?

    Replacing one handle out of warranty is better than replacing four.

    Superchargers in Southern California (location speculation)

    Pomona would fit the bill. Don’t they have space at their SvC there to install SCs?

    Best USB stick for Dashcam?

    I bought a Samsung USB 3.0 64GB, but unfortunately it came formatted as exFAT. I read that isn't supported by TeslaCam. Any tips on changing that to FAT32 as required? I tried the command line format, but received an error, "the volume is too big for FAT32."

    Fixing Door Dings

    Got a nasty door ding today. Picture attached, finger for scale. Paintless dent repair is asking $150. I’m in the LA area but don’t know if this is reasonable. The dent isn’t that noticeable but the residue is. Any tips on cleaning that off? Unsure where that residue is from.

    Setting Charge Timer: Missing Something?

    I thought trickle charging was supposed to be easier on the battery than Supercharging and result in less degradation. Is this a mistake notion?

    What USB stick is recommended? I'm not sure on capacity or if it has to be USB 3 instead of USB 2. Looking for a nice price this weekend.

    Setting Charge Timer: Missing Something?

    Since I’m renting my current place, I can’t install a 14-50 and I’ve been relying on a nearby supercharger. I’m on pace to supercharge about 60 to 70 times this year. Coming up on my one year anniversary, my battery capacity is already down 5% (90% is 217 miles, down from 249 when I got the...

    Rear view camera - v9.0

    Othe titles for this thread that were considered: "This driver put his rear camera stickied on top. Tesla engineers hate him!" "Photoshop didn't exist back then so these v9 pictures must be real." "I complained to executive escalation about the new UI. Here's what happened."

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    First impressions on AP2.5, MCU1. Had passengers, so didn't look for edge/corner cases. 1) IC shows traffic in more lanes. However, it's unreliable in showing cars beyond your adjacent lane. IC backlight brightness seems a bit brighter. IC is unchanged beyond the center lane display. 2)...

    Probably means it prompts you for lane changes and handles freeway interchanges.

    Who would give up free supercharging?

    I'm sure Tesla will be happy to take your money. Luckily I can refer you to this P100D you'd look great in!

    Keyless Driving

    Anyone seeing keyless driving irregularities? I activated it on the app, got in and IC says keyless driving enabled, press brake and select gear. When I actually do that, I get a key not detected error message and nothing happens. I'm on 26.2 firmware.

    Socal Burbank Service Center Joyride and BS explanation for spikes?

    I also got my car back from Burbank a week ago for an MCU replacement of a yellowed screen and no driving-related issue.
