    Considering canceling due to size, lack of sunroof, and lack of power lift gate

    I saw You You's Model 3 yesterday and watched him open and close trunk with just a few fingers. Its very light and easy to do. Probably would be over engineering to try and power it.

    Slower supercharging on Model 3

    The Model 3 driven cross country by You You stopped in Denver yesterday and I peeked in a few times to see the charging rate. The first time the car was at about 20% and was sucking down 115kW. A bit later he was up to around 60% and it was still charging at 85kW. Much faster than our 70D...

    My Experience With a Flooded Model S in Houston

    Its unfortunate that pretty much any car exposed to that level of funding will be totaled. Just to many electronic components that get destroyed by the water. Hopefully everybody is ok.

    Parts Availability

    I can say it is getting better but sometimes you have to bug them to get it processed if you see there is a delay.

    This is why Teslas are totaled so easily

    Our repair bill for a head-on front-left collision with airbag deployment came out to be about $30k. Don't want to go in to how long it has taken but happy that Tesla is trying to take ownership of the issue and get it all resolved. The person who hit us only had $15k of coverage so we ended...

    Accident and Repairs

    We were stopped in a left turn lane. Lady going the other direction was not paying attention and drifted to the left and did a header with the front-left corner. Almost six months later we were happy to see the body shop finally powered the car back up again.

    Accident and Repairs

    Airbag deployment as well which does lots of interior damage.

    Accident and Repairs

    I hope they total it as well. Our MS is still in the shop after a major collision on New Years Eve. It would have been much easier if they had totaled it.

    Motley Fool story - Tesla Replacement Part Delays

    Call Tesla directly and ask to have it tracked and escalated. Be the squeaky wheel. Sometimes you don't get the whole story from the body shop. The main number is 877-798-3752.

    I Enjoy the Car, I Really Dislike Tesla the Car Company

    I have a 2015 Ford F-150 that has been in the shop many more times than my wife's 2015 Tesla. Cooled seats that got so hot it could burn you. Wrinkled and loose leather after one year. Paint drips up on the roof. Badges coming off. Gas pedal vibrates from the engine. Weird noise in the brake...

    Motley Fool story - Tesla Replacement Part Delays

    Jons post today helped restore some of my confidence in Tesla. Still hoping our car gets repaired soon though. Tesla has done their part now and has gotten all but one part to the shop. Now just waiting on the shop to free up a tech to work on it.

    Motley Fool story - Tesla Replacement Part Delays

    I think it is certainly an issue on both sides. I think our car sat at the body shop for 3-4 weeks before they even took a look at it and started ordering parts. I think it took at least a month (from what the shop told me) for parts to start coming in. I have had good luck reaching our to...

    Black Beauty, damaged.

    We are actually more concerned about the 12V battery in our Tesla. Not long before the accident we had gone to a new supercharger opening and had topped the car off so when the accident happened and the airbags went off we were probably around 80%. Apparently when the airbags fire so does the...

    Vendor Unplugged Performance Refresh Fascia Upgrade

    We looked at doing this refresh after our MS was in a front end crash but the Tesla certified shop did not feel comfortable installing it and pretty much talked us out of it. It will be good to get more technical details out there so raise the comfort level on effort level to install and final...

    Holy crap, repairs are insanely expensive, beware!!

    While I am certainly upset about the costs I have more of an issue with the process. There are not enough certified body shops and even once you get in one parts are very slow to arrive. They need to fix the support infrastructure before the Model 3 releases.

    Holy crap, repairs are insanely expensive, beware!!

    We are almost two months in and still waiting on parts but to be fair I don't think the shop even ordered the parts for the first 3-4 weeks since they are so backlogged. Right now they are thinking 3-4 months for a front-left collision when a car did a header with us including repairing damage...

    Supercharger - Loveland, CO

    Different view of the Supercharger from about 1500' up flying overhead. Sorry was only a cell phone picture.
