    SolarEdge Inverter Issue-DC Error

    I was able to schedule an appointment today for a replacement inverter install in two weeks. In total, about 4 weeks of known downtime (may have been down a week before that, but that's my fault for not noticing since I didn't restart the logging right away) EDIT: Looks like it got immediately...

    Texas Model Ys

    Just got this info finally: So that sucks. Guess I'll need to insure 3 cars for a bit. :|

    Texas Model Ys

    Anyone had any trouble with insurance for pickup? Texas doesn't require insurance for new car purchases for at least 20 days, yet we keep getting requests for insurance with the new car's VIN on it. We've already given them insurance with our current car on it. We don't want to pay insurance on...

    SolarEdge Inverter Issue-DC Error

    Okay, last update for a bit probably. After sending in my pictures for the failure, I got this response: So I'm pretty happy that Tesla has been pretty responsive so far. Hopefully things go on the earlier side of the estimate though.

    SolarEdge Inverter Issue-DC Error

    For the purpose of logging what I went through for future recipients of this problem, I'll be posting updates as I get them. I received an email reply in response to the form submission I linked above. Below is the important part of the message: So far so good. Hopefully a replacement can get...

    SolarEdge Inverter Issue-DC Error

    I just got the 18xBC error myself and I don't have a Powerwall. My Solaredge HD-Wave was installed with my system in early 2019. I've submitted a support request via "please fill out this form for additional support" on this page. They have a field to pick your exact error too. I'll post back if...

    Noisy A/S +3 tires

    I have the PS A/S on my 18" wheels. They've gotten a bit quieter over time, but definitely a bit louder than the MXM4s my car came with. The performance of them is definitely better though. I love the performance but I miss the quietness at highway speed.

    Immaculate delivery of 2021 Model Y

    @garethjones there should be some writing/etching on the glass window. It should be black or grey and in the bottom corner when the window is rolled up.

    Could you please snap a photo of the text on the glass of the driver's side door?

    2020.40.3 "Open Glovebox" Command not Understood

    I noticed the same thing while test driving a Model Y ("command not recognized"). I figured it was due to the outdated version the test drive car was running, but your post leads me to believe it's just not in the Model Y for whatever reason.

    Got My 2021 VIN!

    I have heard from a delivery specialist saying the website is bugged out and assigning VINs when it shouldn't. Ordered just a few days ago and already have a VIN. It was a 2021 VIN too. Blue LR 19" with tow hitch and FSD.

    New Y, October Build Date, And A Question

    Does this really not exist for Model Y yet? It's been in my Model 3 for quite some time.

    Supercharger - Austin, TX - Frontage Road

    I wouldn't read into the pin's location. The "coming soon" pins have always been placed on a label on the map, not the intended location. In this case, there's not a label that can be distinguished so I'm not sure what's going on.

    Supercharger - Austin, TX - Research Blvd.

    I drove past it this morning and drove right up to the stalls. I didn't try plugging in as I was short on time. I did save my dashcam footage while driving past, so I guess that's better than nothing. A pretty nice location but the turn isn't obvious so I had to wind around a parking lot after...

    Supercharger - Austin, TX - Research Blvd.

    I'll try and go charge at these stalls next weekend if they're open by then. I'm guessing they won't be though.

    Supercharger V3 and Model Y unveil

    Someone on the subreddit had this to say about V3: And this for the source: Assuming this is true, I wonder if combining these industrial inverters with Power Packs is how Elon aims to make Supercharger V3 have a lower impact on Tesla's bottom line. They can time shift grid power and reduce...

    Ripped Undercarriage Composite from the rain?

    I posted this in another similar thread and it is still relevant here: Mine is damaged as well, but I think in the rear. It was noticed when I was in for service by Tesla's repair staff. I'm waiting for a part to come in for it, but I think they quoted me somewhere in the $100-200 range for the...

    Splitter Cable for both USB Dashcam and Charge Phone

    I couldn't see any issues with more extended charging. I don't have the right equipment to test actual power draw though.

    Splitter Cable for both USB Dashcam and Charge Phone

    I only did a quick test, but it does seem to charge. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes. My assumption on why they say that would be that there's not enough power to charge more than one device or it might be too slow to charge some devices.

    Splitter Cable for both USB Dashcam and Charge Phone

    Not true. I had one of these lying around and plugged it into my front right port, then plugged a lightning cable into the hub along with a USB stick. It seems to charge without issue, though I would imagine it will charge approximately 10-20% slower due to the power being used by the hub and...

    Front cover on bottom of car damaged

    Mine is damaged as well, but I think in the rear. It was noticed when I was in for service by Tesla's repair staff. I'm waiting for a part to come in for it, but I think they quoted me somewhere in the $100-200 range for the part? I can't remember at this point. They first tried to tell me that...

    Texas Hold Up!

    My coworker finally heard from his ISA about his car. Apparently there was some sort of logistics glitch? I wonder if anyone else is affected.

    Texas Hold Up!

    My coworker is in the same boat. He paid for his Model 3 in full about a week and a half ago and has a delivery date on Friday of this week. As of this morning, the car is still in California, according to his ISA. It sounds like they're waiting on a full truck load before sending the cars, but...

    Texas Hold Up!

    They want you to have it there with you when you pick up your car, but they can't legally require it.

    Texas Hold Up!

    It will come with a bunch of papers with post it notes showing you where to sign. You sign where requested (and don't date it, as instructed) and then seal it up and bring it to your delivery. They cannot help you at delivery with any paperwork and it must be sealed in the envelope as legally...

    Texas Hold Up!

    RBFCU used to have one of the lowest rates around. Now, they aren't as competitive. Tesla pays the taxes on your behalf. The final number they give you includes taxes and fees. Why not try and confirm this with your ISA if you're trying to delay things?

    Texas Hold Up!

    My coworker who only reserved in December 2016 and ordered just a few days ago got his VIN today (edit link is gone and called to confirm). He was told by the representative that they would be contacting him over the next week and they usually try and contact when the car is a week or so out...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I would encourage all of you to try calling your local delivery center. They were much more helpful than my non-responsive ISA and were able to get a delivery date set up for me once they had confirmed that the car had arrived.

    Texas Hold Up!

    You only need a current insurance policy (without a Tesla on it) in Texas to buy a car. You have 30 days to get a new car insured. Your current policy documents should have a section that details what a covered car is and it should include any car you purchased within 30 days.

    Best way / place to see what the Model 3 paint options look like in real life?

    Of course right after I post this, Tesla brings the other black color to Model 3.
  34. geoffreak

    Best way / place to see what the Model 3 paint options look like in real life?

    Go to a nearby Tesla showroom and visit the parking garage. The S and X vehicles used for test drives are parked during the weekends due to the dealership laws. You'll be able to see all the different colors that Tesla currently offers. Just be aware that Tesla offers two different blacks for S...

    I don't believe they install front plates at delivery normally. Mine came unattached and so did my coworker's.

    For Sale: Unused 3M Scotchguard Pro PPF Kit for Model 3 (Dallas, TX)

    I bought a PPF pre-cut kit for the Model 3, but changed my mind on doing the work myself and now I'm stuck with this kit I won't use and can't return. I'd rather not have to ship it so I'm asking here to see if anyone in Dallas, TX would be interested in buying it off me. I'll be able to bring...

    Texas Hold Up!

    So, would anyone be interested in an unused pre-cut PPF kit for the Model 3? I bought a kit, but changed my mind on doing the work myself and now I'm stuck with this kit I won't use and can't return. I'd rather not have to ship it so I'm asking here to see if anyone in Dallas or Austin would be...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I got my car! Nice meeting you @ryanakata. It was very brief though, as delivery took about a half hour with us and another customer. I had no trouble doing things myself to get setup. I got home and realized the glove box doesn’t open, but I’ll worry about that after the trip. I put my...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Depends on how long things get. I don't want to stay much longer than about an hour and a half, so we'll see how far we get. My wife doesn't know much about the car's functionality, so the introduction would mainly be for her benefit. I wonder how big our delivery group will end up being. That...

    Texas Hold Up!

    You could try calling them first thing in the morning (they open at 8, but they don't always answer the phone) and ask them to charge it up as much as possible. Worst case scenario, you can hit up the Dallas supercharger, which is about 5-10 miles east from the service center, or just hit up...

    Texas Hold Up!

    The plates didn't come in today, so I'm definitely having my delivery tomorrow. I was told that plates take two days, so they are expected tonight. I guess this works since my paperwork is arriving via FedEx this evening. I asked them to trip-charge my Model 3 as I will also be leaving quickly...

    Texas Hold Up!

    If my delivery doesn't get moved forward, then I'll see you there since I'm also currently scheduled to take delivery at 11am. You don't by chance need a second USB-C cable, do you? I need two Lightning cables and I'm looking to trade.

    Texas Hold Up!

    My ISA made it sound like things had changed and that the paperwork should be provided in a sealed envelope rather than directly mailed in. I'm not sure how true this is, I just wanted to make sure there was no chance of a delayed delivery. At least my MVPA is now showing up on my Tesla Account...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Am I supposed to be getting any kind of documents to sign? I was told by my ISA when the delivery date was set that I'd need to have the documents signed and sealed in an envelope when I show up to delivery. With my delivery date being tomorrow or Saturday, I find it hard to believe I'll be...

    How many days before delivery did you receive your MVPA?

    My delivery is set for Saturday (and might have the option of switching to Friday), but I have no paperwork :|
  46. geoffreak

    Texas Hold Up!

    The answer is yes, calling the Dallas service center is a worthwhile effort. I've gotten my delivery moved to this Saturday. They told me my car is "on the ground" but they were waiting on temporary tags. They said it might even be available on Friday if the tags come in earlier. For now, my...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I've been trying to get in contact with my ISA Andres for a week now to see if I can get a delivery at the end of this week instead of the beginning of next (to minimally impact my trip), but I can't seem to get a hold of him. He doesn't seem to reply to my emails and I always get his voicemail...

    Texas Hold Up!

    You type in the routing and account numbers into the Tesla Account page after the ISA enables it. They consider it funded within a few hours even though it doesn't draft from your bank until the next day. No other action is required.

    Supercharger - Dallas, TX - 773 S Riverfront Blvd

    We really need to coordinate in an effort to get a Supercharger in Sherman. I'd love to be able to take 75 going north out of Texas.

    Supercharger - Austin, TX

    It looks like the location that was assumed might be incorrect. The new map update clearly states "Austin, TX - Downtown". Would the location near The Domain still qualify? Still on track to open this year though.
