    7 seat waiting room

    Just got my VIN. Ordered 10/21. Odd though it’s coming from Fremont even though we live an hour away from the gigs Austin factory

    Austin or Fremont MYP?

    I live in San Antonio but our MYLR 7 seater is being built in Fremont. Thought that was odd

    Supercharger - Harlingen, TX

    Thought I read on Tesla website about not being completed until Q4

    Supercharger - Harlingen, TX

    Awesome! Too bad it won't be ready for my Sept visit. We've had to use that mobile SC on SPI last time. Fortunately our condo was right down the street, but half the time, one of those stalls were ICE'd.

    Supercharger - Corpus Christi, TX

    This is great news, just drove from San Antonio to Port Aransas and back last week for the day. This will help not having to try and get every ounce of juice at three rivers SC and maybe bypass it and get a faster charge rate with a more empty battery.

    2022 MYP vs MYLR?

    No 3rd row, which is a deal breaker for us. Otherwise I think the P is the better value

    540 Vehicle Server Error

    Instead of happening everyday, I get the server error once a week. Don’t think Tesla is doing anything about it. The service department was saying it could be the calendar function in the app causing it. Told them, how can their app cause their server not to work.

    Persistent 500 Server Error / 540 Vehicle Server Error

    We are having the same issue with our 2017 Model X since OCTish. Have to constantly reboot to get it to work and then it works for a day, maybe a couple of days. The service center first said it's because of an app attempting to connect to it. I hadn't used any 3rd party apps in years. Ok...

    It does, but only for a day, then I get the issue comes back

    I get this error everyday. Tesla told me to change my password but that didn't work.

    Tesla Solar vs ....[third party competitors]

    Same with me. I've heard all the bad reviews but figured it was just a minority. Man, it was so difficult to get in touch with anyone. Plus, after weeks nothing was happening even though everything requested was submitted. Absolutely no updates. Decided to go with SunPower. Way more...

    NHTSA asks Tesla to recall 158,000 [now 135,000] vehicles for eMMC failure. Voluntary Recall issued

    I really hope the NHTSA makes Tesla fix this. It's so difficult to get Tesla to fix this issue. We brought it in last month and they said it wasn't the emmc, even though it matches everything I've seen online for emmc being the main culprit. They said all they need to do is clear some files...

    MX17 - FalconWing Door weather stripping deteriorating - Not covered by Warranty

    I’m having the same issue with the rubber strips on the fwd. Haven’t seen any I’ll effects from it. I had the exact same issue with our 2004 BMW X5. The rubber strip between the windshield and the roof deteriorated the same way. It was a known issue that BMW never covered under warranty.

    Family man finding the S a little too tight. Is the X significantly better with kids?

    Sold our S for the X when we had kids. It's way better. Those FWDs which I thought was a gimmick is a life saver, especially for your back and your kids heads. The fact that the roof opens with the door makes it the easiest car to get kids in and out of with car seats. It's worth the change

    This truck design had better be a joke....

    I initially thought it was a joke and that the outside was just cheap panels that would be removed to show the real truck. Everyone's opinion is different, but that thing is probably the ugliest car I've ever seen. Was planning on buying it, but I don't think I can unless I somehow go blind...

    Dead 12 Volt battery rant

    Ok, sorry about the rant but I just have to vent. This is the first time I've ever been stranded and have needed a rescue person to come save me, all over a dead 12 volt battery on a 2.5 year car. I've owned or currently own all Tesla models so I'm a huge fan. But lately, the changes Tesla...

    yellow border - need advise

    I’m not sure where you’re getting your info, but they just told me some BS about a firmware update to fix my screen and that they’ve been told to stop all replacement.

    yellow border - need advise

    I know that. That’s why I told the technician that it doesn’t make any sense. He said there’s nothing he can do since they’ve been told to stop all replacements.

    Driver side door wont open

    Just started having this issue in our X on the passenger door. You hear the motor but the door won't open. Screen shows door open but it's not. You can only open by pulling the handle on the inside.

    yellow border - need advise

    I had an appointment a few days ago after getting a text saying the screen was in. 30 minutes prior to the appointment they called and said they’re canceling the appointment because Tesla engineers have told them not to replace anymore screens and that they’re working on a firmware to fix it. I...

    Seat doesn't auto adjust based off key fob anymore

    Mine is inconsistent. It’ll set my profile when my wife uses her FOB. Other times it doesn’t. Drives my wife nuts

    Cabin Overheat Protection OR Security Alarm, not Both

    Just noticed this yesterday. We have the enhanced security installed so I figured the cabin overheat protection wasn't needed since the interior sensor senses even the tiniest movement. A tiny fly inside kept setting it off.

    Another Summon Failure! Do Not Rely on Quick STOP!

    On our previous S, I never had an issue with summon. Sometimes it’d have problem going over the lip of the garage, but otherwise it worked well With our current X, I’ve had to intervene a few times to prevent it from hitting my 3. For some reason, every once in awhile, it would make a hard...

    Ever Hit Anything On Auto-Park? Summon?

    It happens rarely, out of the hundreds of times I've summoned, it's happened about a half dozen times. We also do it the same. Position the car in the same spot before summoning into the garage. There's never any issues summoning out of the garage. What concerns me more, is that the X...

    Ever Hit Anything On Auto-Park? Summon?

    I use summon all the time, it's fantastic when you have young children and a tight garage. The only issue I've had was sometimes it wouldn't go over the lip into the garage. It would work most of the time. But recently, I've had issues where if we didn't intervene, the X would have hit our...

    Yellow ring around Main Display?

    Got this on our X. Dec 17 build. I haven't gone to have it replaced yet, figured I'd wait till I have the car serviced or till something else inevitably needs fixing.

    Who still doesnt have Summon?

    Just got the update to 26.3 from 21.9 yesterday. It happened shortly after I visited a service center to repair the driver seat base. I asked them to update the firmware while it was in for repairs but when I got it back I noticed it was 21.9. Later that afternoon though, I got the update...

    Model 3 Center Console Wrap

    Just finished with the CF wrap. Wow, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Think the fact that the CF material is thicker, it made it a lot easier to handle. Took me less than 30 minutes and that was with me taking my time to perfect it. One thing I didn't do that he did on the...

    San Antonio Service Center

    Every time I've gone to the service center, all the HPWC spots were taken up with service center cars. I bet you probably can ask the service center to move one if you're in need.

    XPEL Prime XR?

    I had Pinnacle Formula 1 on my Bmw M3 and Photosync on our Model S. We opted to try the Xpel XR Black on the Model 3 since the price was way cheaper than other tints and they did the rear window with one single film for no extra cost. I thought it came out great. Looks great and I can feel it...

    Best insurance for Tesla Model S 2018

    I have USAA. I pay over 2100 every 6 months for our Model X and Model 3. I just priced progressive and they’re quoting me 1000 for 6 months. I love USAA and have been a member for 22 years. They use to be far and away the cheapest auto insurance around. I love their service but I don’t think I...

    Getting seatbelt warning with child seat

    I keep getting a seatbelt warning when I install our car seat using the LATCH system. It's not really even the weight, since just installing the base of our Chicco Keyfit, without the car seat itself, gives me a warning. I have the seat secure, no movement laterally of more than an inch, so...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Finally picked up my Model 3 this past Tuesday. It looks better than even in pics. Haven't had much time in it but it's so far pretty good. Just had Xpel PPF and tint installed. It's been a few days but I've had some minor issues with the car. 1. Can't get the neighborhood main gate opener...

    Model 3 Tinting in SATX

    Just had the Xpel San Antonio guys finish installing tint and PPF. They did a great job. I wasn't sure of their tint since there weren't many reviews on it, but I thought it looked great. Seems to do a great job keeping out the heat. I was really concerned about whether they can do the rear...

    Model 3 Tinting in SATX

    XPEL HQ said it would take 1.5 days since they can't do them concurrently, only one at a time.

    Model 3 Tinting in SATX

    I never got a reply. I've asked for a quote from another installer of photo sync, and they haven't replied either after a week. I guess they don't need any business. I decided i'm going to have Xpel do PPF and their tint. They quoted me $360ish or so for the tint if I did it with the PPF. I...
