    Model X FWD, is it okay to have FWD adjusted to address alignment issue?

    I don’t expect perfection. If I was looking for perfection, I’d probably go with a Honda or Toyota. 😂 I just don’t want any obvious gaps that I’ll notice every time I hand wash the car. Hopefully 3rd times a charm.

    Model X FWD, is it okay to have FWD adjusted to address alignment issue?

    Thanks for the detailed reply. I’m actually closer to the Paramus location. That was where I was supposed to pick up my car the other day. Actually it was the 2nd car I rejected for the same issue, FWD not lining up to rear quarter panel. But it’s good to know they can make adjustments and it...

    Model X FWD, is it okay to have FWD adjusted to address alignment issue?

    I was scheduled to pickup the MX I had ordered today. While inspecting the car, I noticed the FWD and rear quarter didn't align, maybe 1/8" off, the other side was off a bit less. The sales manager (forgot his title) offered to have it looked at and adjusted by the Service team. I wasn't...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I just got the same message in my app about my configuration not being available. Thing is, I ordered back on 10/31, when the EDD was in Dec. Thus allowing me to do the FUSC transfer from my current car. If I place a new order, will I still get that?!

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    Is that in the “view agreements” section of the app? Ordered 10/31, still waiting for vin.

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    Congrats! What state are you in?

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    My order date was 10/31, my EDD is also much further - Jan 14- Mar 10. 😕 (NJ)

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    i just got an update in the app asking to confirm FUSC transfer! 🎉 No vin yet.

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    No, nothing yet. I texted my advisor a few days ago, no reply. I haven’t had a chance to stop by service center.

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    No, not really. EDD still showing Jan 14-Mar 10. Am I the only one that checks daily, sometimes multiple times daily? 😊 I think I may be okay taking a chance with losing half the Federal rebate, as long as FUSC transfers. 🤔
  12. Gizmo17

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    My original EDD was Dec-Jan, so hopefully it’s in the window. But yes, you’re right, I’ll contact them tomorrow. Otherwise I’ll cancel the order.

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    Thanks, I’ll have to call or stop by and ask about that. The guy I was working with texted me this when I ordered the car, but nothing yet: “A member of our Operations team will be emailing you over a form as we get closer to your new vehicle arriving that we will need you to sign and send back...

    How did you get the transfer form? It’s not in my Tesla app as one of the documents to complete. Tesla service advisor?

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    Thanks. Would the description reads “Referral bonus”?

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    Anyone transferring over FUSC here? I ordered on 10/31 (NJ). EDD: Jan 14-Mar 10. At what point of this process should I be would completing forms to transfer over FUSC? Just want to make sure the transfer doesn’t get messed up. I noticed in my order form, it shows $250 referral credit. I didn’t...

    That would be helpful huh? 10/31 - NJ

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    Same here, when I ordered on 10/31, it said Dec-Jan. But I didn't take a screen shot of it. I do have a conversation with service advisor on that topic though. Kind of crazy when I think about it, buying a car for $80k and hoping they honor a email they sent out move over a feature. If it was...

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    I feel they’re being secretive on this matter intentionally. They want to pump up 4Q sales, which is probably why this offer came out. If they openly admitted it’s being extended or they’ll honor it, some may delay thier purchase beyond 4Q. As some others said, 99% they honor it as the did FSD...

    Tesla dropped another new color?? 😂🤣 Damn, just checked, now EDD Jan-Feb!
  22. Gizmo17

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    I wouldn’t expect them to know. The goal is push deliveries for 4Q23. If they let the public know the FUSC transfer is extended, those 4Q deliveries would become 1Q. I’m hoping it’ll be extended, even if they don’t let us know until later on.
  23. Gizmo17

    Model X deliveries for September and beyond

    Why not full credit? What changes in 2024? I thought it becomes a POS credit vs tax refund, with same $80k price limit. It looks like income limits stay the same also, $300k for married filing jointly.

    I’m in the same boat as you. Ordered: 10/31 Build: MXLR, Stealth grey, Supercharger teansfer Location: NJ EDD: Dec-Jan 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    No PPF updates

    I didn’t get anything in my 2016 MS, after almost 8 years, the hood has some small chips and marks on the paint if you look closely. some of it may be able to be cleaned up, not sure. I would probably need to get professionally detailed to know for sure. I’ve tried clay bar and some compound d...

    Anyone Switch From MY to MX?

    With the recent promotion of being able to transfer FUSC, this has me looking at upgrading my to a MYLR or MX. My concerns with the Y is the booming noise I’ve just learned about. How common is the MY booming noise? I thought the MYP would be fun, but those rim and tires would probably be...

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    This is a great offer, considering upgrading to a MYLR or MYP. I’d probably sell the MS, it’s got low miles too, about 75k. Still prefer the design of MS over current Y. Wish the redesigned MY was out.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    So this fuse needs to be replaced? What if the error message went away (and the service center ignored my message on the app)?

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    I just checked, the BMS_U032 message went away from my 70D as well. Service center didn’t respond to my service request either. Weird. I came across this post on a FB Tesla group: Rumers says Tesla has fixed a database problem, and after that the BMS_U031 message is gone from some cars...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Damn, I have the same message just pop up on my 2016 70D (nosecone). For a car with not many parts to go bad (vs. ICE car), there seems to be many things that need to be fixed!

    Key fob not working after battery replacement

    THANK YOU!! This worked for me as well! I guess when I pried out the battery, I also pried the edge of the thin metal, that caused it to short (I used the same energizer battery that was that was already in there). I used a small screwdriver and pressed down the metal contact and it worked! If...

    MCU2 upgrade for AP1 cost?

    Thanks, that’s been one of my pet peeves, the time I sit there waiting for it to power up, if I had an ice car, I could’ve put key in and drove away already! Another question, with my current MCU, it says I have “Premium connectivity - included package”. So with upgraded MCU, will there be a...

    MCU2 upgrade for AP1 cost?

    Does upgrading to MCU2 help the car wake up any faster? sometimes I sit in the car for what seems like a long time (around 10 seconds maybe) before it wakes up and is drivable.

    Fair price for 2016 Model S 70D?

    I recently ordered a Model Y, so I'm thinking I'll most likely sell my beloved 2016 70D, possibly to a friend. But what's a fair price? With the recent price reductions, not sure what I see on KBB or used car sites are fair prices, I would think KBB doesn't factor FUSC into their prices. I have...

    Coolest Tesla Garage

    Wow, nice garages! How the heck do you guys keep it so clean? Don't most people have other stuff in their garage...like bikes, lawn equipment, shovels, helmets? I just got a shed in my backyard last year, but I still have few bikes, automotive tools etc in my garage.

    Front license plate holder

    I don't have a front plate on my MS and never had any issues. Just ordered a MYLR, prob won’t mount it either. It does give a reason for cops to stop me though, that and the tints on drivers and front passenger windows (Not very dark).

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    Did you lose the initial $250 deposit when you changed to MYP? I was speaking to a Tesla rep earlier and she said the $250 doesn’t transfer as it’s a different car. Still on the fence on upgrading, NJ has a $2000 rebate that caps out at $55k.

    2023 Model Y Custom Order Wait Time

    I just ordered the same configuration, delivery to NJ also. Does the delivery need to happen in the beginning of March to qualify for the $7500 Federal rebate?

    2015 Model S No power to Passenger Door windows and side mirror

    When I had this issue, I ended up taking it to Tesla and they replaced the door controller module (DOOR CONTROLLERMODULE(1003101-00-E), it ended up costing me $655 (part was $355). Good luck.

    Left side of car (door handles, windows, door lights) not working

    Haha, I found the tweet. The appointment in the app originally said Monday, 9/12. They updated it yesterday, probably not entitled to $100. i just want the car to work. :( Checked all the fuses in the panel, nothing blown. Seems like my 70D has a different panel from what I was able to find on...

    Left side of car (door handles, windows, door lights) not working

    What’s a BCM do? Previous poster mentioned “driver side door control module”, which seems to go for around $50 or so on eBay. Oh yes, mobile ranger isn’t coming, they’ve rescheduled my appointment to 9/27. The service for Tesla’s are terrible. Pretty much can’t use my car for > 2 weeks.

    Left side of car (door handles, windows, door lights) not working

    Weird issue happened today, all of a sudden, the driver door and rear left door handles did not auto present. Upon further investigation (by my wife), the windows on the left side of the car do not work. The windows on the right side of the car works, but only with the buttons on those doors...

    OBD2 port source for un-switched 12V power

    Thanks for the post. Didn’t realize they made something like this. I thought I’d have to make my own hack by following this article https://www.teslarati.com/how-to-tap-constant-12v-power-tesla-model-s/ Installing a Spiegel magsafe charger on my dash.

    Probably not, since Tesla doesn’t sell the parts. Aren’t you under warranty anyway?

    Drivers power seat stopped working - any suggestions?

    So after waiting 1 month to get the seat fixed, here is what transpired: I get an estimate a few days before, it was to replace the switch seat for approximately $350. I'm not sure if there anything else on the estimate, I printed it out but shredded it later not realizing the documents in the...

    Drivers power seat stopped working - any suggestions?

    That's what I was thinking as well, but I can't even call someone to speak to! Calling my local Tesla dealer sends me to the central Tesla support number with no option to speak to anyone. Frustrating to say the least. I've had the mobile service come to my house to replace the 12v battery...

    Drivers power seat stopped working - any suggestions?

    Not loving my Tesla these days, Feb 8th appointment is so far away, luckily I have a 2nd car. And now my car is taking longer and longer to start up and the MCU went black a few times while I'm driving. When that happens, no signals, no heat, no back camera. Seriously thinking of going back to...
