    GigaFest Austin, April 1,... make that April 7, whats happening.

    Also have reservations in Austin. So even if you have more than one car and a reservation sounds like there is no guarantee. Is there a way to let them know you are interested? Does stock help? Good luck all!

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    Kind of like knowing the new iPhone is coming out in a few weeks and buying the old one. It’s not the end of the world but would be nice to get the new one when your spending $60k. Old version is still great.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Curious what folks think a realistic value for Tesla is in the next year or so. I always believed they would be a trillion dollar company but to me it seems the stock may be a bit ahead of itself. Don't get me wrong, I am big Tesla fan and I definitely want them to succeed on all fronts (energy...

    Solar Roof Florida

    Hi All- @z32 fairlady we have a design from Tesla for 26.55 KwH with a cost before incentives of ~$95K. However, I am doubting whether it could be completed in 2020 and we haven't signed off yet on the design. If it goes into 2021, then the federal tax credit is reduced from 26 too 22%. We were...

    Solar Roof Florida

    Thanks for the replies. I am concerned about how rapidly technology will improve and that could be an issue with the solar roof since you have a large capital cost invested. The panels could probably be slowly rotated out with newer ones, No doubt the solar roof has a cleaner install and look.

    Solar Roof Florida

    We got a system design for a Solar Roof install in the Tampa, FL area. The final design is a 26.55 KW system with 4405 sq ft of roof. Total cost is 95,011.14 without any power walls (Cost breakdown below). Our dimensional shingle roof is near the end of its life so we need to replace the roof...

    Tesla App Store

    Sent Elon a tweet about this. Think we need a Tesla App Store if possible. Would be a good revenue stream and could add unlimited functionality assuming it could be made secure and firewalled from the driving functions. I would really like weather radar on the maps but there are all sorts of...

    Apple Car Play?

    Think we just need a Tesla App Store. Sent a tweet to Elon on this. Could be a good revenue stream and no other car company could probably pull it off. Personally, I would really like MyRadar on the maps.

    With version 9, how many years ahead is Tesla now?

    Ok my summary is this 1. Try to buy any car (including ice) that is as good as current autopilot and is upgradeable over time. 2. Now try to buy that car as an ev with range, Superchargers, etc. Oh wait you can’t , all the other manufacturers have vaporware or compliance cars. Tesla is so far...

    iPhone X and Model X not playing nice

    I was having issues with iPhone X and actually ended up getting a new phone from Apple. I installed as new phone rather than backup and is working perfectly now.

    Bluetooth / iPhone X issues

    Just installed iOS 11.4 hopefully this fixes it

    Bluetooth / iPhone X issues

    I think now It is definitely an iPhone problem. My phone randomly switches between speaker and phone independent of the car. I have latest iOS and it is driving me crazy. In addition, when I first got my 3 everything worked fine. I am thinking some iOS update messed it up.

    Do you think Tesla/M3 will change the auto industry? I'm concerned

    Agree with other posters, my Model 3 is great and hasn't ever been to the service center. Negative press gets all of the attention which is not reality. Everyone I know that has a Tesla loves it. I have owned all three (S, X and 3). You can't really understand how great these cars are until you...

    To tint back/top window or not

    I tinted the back but would not tint the top. It has ample factory tint and doesn’t get hot.

    Enhanced autopilot - worth it?

    IMHO autopilot is worth every penny. I have used on long trips and daily commute with very few problems. If you set your following distance appropriately and pay attention it takes a lot of fatigue out of driving, In addition, it keeps getting better (both AP1 and AP 2).

    So sick of the negativity

    Very happy model 3 and Model X owner. Both my Model 3 and Model X build quality were very good but not "perfect". However, these cars are so far advanced compared to anything else on the market that the only things people can focus on are minor flaws. Seriously, if you invest now in an ICE car...

    First day with Model 3 experience

    The Model 3 seats have quite a few adjustments (including seat height) and like you I took a road trip without adjusting it which resulted in low back pain. It took me a while to get it right (I actually watched a video from a chiropractor on youtube). Once the seat was adjusted it is really...

    Model 3 is worth the wait

    So I have had the Model 3 LR Pearl White (Vin 64XX) for about two weeks now and took one long road trip with it (~5 hours). It has the upgraded wheels and autopilot. This car is really really good and for those of you on the fence about your reservation, I would strongly urge you to keep it...

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    Even if autopilot is on, wouldn’t it still be incumbent on driver to be paying attention. These aren’t fsd cars. It’s like having a wreck with a car on cruise control right? Also, Any car would,probably burn in this type of impact. I am glad Tesla and NTSB are trying to figure out what happened...

    My M3 vs my MS...the revolution is underway

    Agree with all points above. Model 3 and Model X is perfect combo. When the Model X refresh comes out (hopefully with larger battery), I will consider an upgrade for the X. Model S is still an awesome car and for folks that want the extra space or more of a touring car, it is still a great...

    Who's tinted their windows?

    Just had Model 3 tinted with 3m Crystalline on the side windows and the rear. I went with 40 all around. I did not tint the roof window or the windshield. The roof seems dark enough and I haven't noticed any heat. As for the windshield, since it is illegal in Florida I didn't do it. Would have...

    New Model 3 Delivery

    The delivery took about 30 minutes maybe a little longer. They just reviewed everything on car with you. If you have less time you could just let them know. As far as ordering autopilot, I would definitely try to add it. The system is better now than autopilot 1 on my Model X. In comparison to...

    New Model 3 Delivery

    Got the pearl white model 3 delivered today. Service center did great job with delivery. I thought I might miss my classic S but so far I think I like the 3 better. There are definitely some things that need to come over with to the s with the refresh. I willl post more thoughts later. You will...

    Delayed Delivery Model 3

    My original date for delivery of my Model 3 was February 27 and it has continually been delayed to the current date of March 15. Hoping this actually happens. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Tesla gave me a rental (because I sold my S) and their inventory is so low that they don’t...

    Model 3 Initial Impressions

    Looking forward to my Model 3 delivery this week in Tampa. Really glad to hear about the drive on I4 with the new autopilot. Our AP1 Model X loses the lines as you said where they are washed out. Assuming the new X or S with Autopilot 2.5 would be same as 3. Thanks for your post!

    Did you not get your model 3 within promised window?

    I have a November-January estimate, placed reservation on first day in store and I am an owner in Florida. Have not received an email to configure, but I do know at least a couple model 3s have been delivered here. Seems unlikely to hit January delivery, but I am ok with wait.
