    [2023 Model 3 SR] Sound System Upgrade

    I'm doing the same on a 23 model 3 with amped garage, faitals/daytona/focals. I want to add a sub though, so I'm figuring that out now. I think that our cars do not have a 12v battery anymore so may have to add one.

    2018 Tesla Model S - Premium vs. Textile differences?

    What are the differences with "Premium Interior" for a 2018 Tesla aside from the leather seats? Are there leathers in other areas that are added, and is the headliner/dash the same? Are there any lighting differences (like door handles) and can I retrofit the differences?

    Windshield replacement needed, none available?

    At the moment they say they are all backordered for my particular windshield model #. No eta at all. My insurance company requested a quote and will reimburse me after Tesla replaces the glass. I'd call both as long as your deductible is reasonably low (glass usually is). Paying cash it is...

    Windshield replacement needed, none available?

    Hi, I have a refresh 2016 S75 with AP. Got a crack in my windshield that seemed like a small chip but started growing steadily. I called the Fremont service center 2 weeks ago to schedule an appointment, and now they're telling me that they still don't have the part in stock and no estimate on...

    Should Tesla Offer A Red Leather?

    I would like to see more options, including perforated leather seats with ventilation and more options for "full leather". I think we'll see it in a few years when Tesla tries to move the Model S more upmarket after the Model 3 is released. If you really want to spend the money I've seen...

    Garage Prep

    You could just wire with bigger gauge (3awg) so you could always switch. I'd probably take my wall-charger if I moved and convert the outlet into a NEMA 14-50. Just have to replace the breaker to 50a.

    Ordering Advice

    I'm in the finance/mortgage industry. Look at your DTI (debt-to-income) after the purchase. (Consider leasing if its beneficial to you and consult an accountant if needed). The 28/36 rule seems like a good guideline. At the maximum you really want your DTI to be below 40% inclusive of...

    Flooring: I am getting Racedeck installed, my design is similar to this... though I think I ordered many more tiles than I needed so my design is still TBD. This is one idea. Already have the tiles, my contractor is working on a few other things before this so we'll see how it turns out...

    7 passenger Model S rental in MD in late Oct?

    I'm guessing a rental X would cost you more than its worth (checked out of curiosity and saw some for around 400-500/day). You could prob get a MB GL 450 / Q7 / Land Rover for a week for about $1k.

    Tesla new wall connector, manual/config problem?

    For setting the dip switches, the wall connector came with both set to up and said this was the "normal" position. (I'm located in CA, USA - single phase power). They didn't specify what "normal" was, but with position 1 set to down its 240v line to line. Seems to work now with that first...

    List of Homelink Garage Door Openers That Work

    I'd just go with the chamberlain (hd950 or hd1000) or liftmaster 8550w. they are made by the same company so I think the same product. The good thing about the one in the link is that usually you have to buy a separate bluetooth/wifi module and this one has it built in so it ends up being cheaper.

    Lease Approved, questions about cap cost reduction

    I would definitely try to get the cap cost lowered, but yes that is what they do if you don't have a long credit history. I would think with the cosigner they could have dropped it, but it could be credit score dependent as well (I wasn't asked for any docs at all). How far out is your delivery?

    Items found at delivery + 1 week post-delivery

    Do you have pics that you don't mind sharing. I have a couple of issues on my recent delivery, but I may just be overly critical. I'll probably get them resolved when I get a paint coating/tint done but it was irritating that it wasn't perfect.

    Delivery nitpicking..

    "Budget" Paint Correction and Sealant.

    So I have a new MS in Deep Blue coming in tomorrow (don't worry I'll post pics). I'm picking up in the factory and local to the bay area. I am leasing it for business reasons, however, I really want a paint sealant to make it easier for maintenance. With that said, Since my lease is about 3...

    Downgrade 70 > 60? Would you?

    So Tesla (Fremont factory) refused the downgrade even though my car is not in production yet. They said that I would lose my deposit and have to order again. Anyone have luck with Fremont on getting a downgrade?

    Downgrade 70 > 60? Would you?

    I seemed to have ordered in this awkward middle time (refresh after price increase). Production scheduled to start soon, though I guess technically it wouldn't matter much since this would be a software change. I had a S70 RWD ordered, but saving $5500 or ~$100 on the lease makes sense for...

    Just put deposit for 1st CPO P85+

    Congrats. If you are really worried get XPEL or some kind of clear bra. There's a number of spots near the factory (I happen to be from Fremont). Maybe you could arrange for it done earlier, but I guess you would have to finalize things before you actually come in.

    Red Color -- Decision

    Red is awesome, I would not consider Tesla's red to be more feminine. The metallic red is aggressive and definitely draws attention. Get it with grey wheels (or coat the wheels later).

    Pearl White vs Deep Blue

    In the exact same boat with those two colors. Also debating between gray and black interior if I go blue. I may go down to the factory now and snap a comparison pic (I believe they had a pearl white and deep blue as demos, non-refresh).

    Good comparison pictures of Deep Blue Metallic - Midnight Silver, Pearl White or not?

    I was told that it is because of the "pearls" in the paint. However, the Deep Blue is metallic so I would think it would be equally as hard to match the paint if needed. I think I am ruling out the new metallic silver as it doesn't have the blue tinge to it as the previous silver did. In...
