No issues at all! It was driven straight from the factory to our house. No major issues so far except for some rattles coming from the back. The paint looks ok but there are surface scratches which I'll have paint corrected.

I doubt it and it probably has to do with your location. I live in Austin and they literally drove it straight from the factory to my house.

Ok got the model Y Austin build PA 060 and it does not have matrix lights. The paint is definitely better quality than my Fremont built 2018 15k vin model 3. But then again I think a tonka truck has better paint from the factory than it.

I have a MY LR coming from Austin with PA060 delivery 1/27. I doubt it will have matrix but we will see.

I have a Model Y coming from Austin next week. I’ll let you know. It’s a MSM LR AWD with Tow hitch and that’s it.

Yeah I think it's an ideal location. Actually I don't think they need to hold off because the land allotment is already figured out and that location has a lot of restaurants within walking distance. Maybe the only better location is the new center that has Torchy's and EVO cinemas in front of...

I think this one might have died... https://abc.austintexas.gov/public-search-other?t_detail=1&t_selected_folderrsn=12793800&t_selected_propertyrsn=6493406 It has been expired for awhile with no activity for 4 months. I'm wondering if the Bee Caves location basically means this is either dead...

Just went by today. 8 pedestals are up.

It will be nice to have one here and also in Oak Hill. I live right between the two.

This could also refer to the one that is in Oak Hill.

It looks to me that they want information about the removal of some parking and it isn't clear if they will have adequate parking or not based on the site (which shouldn't be a problem because that parking lot is HUGE. They require more process in the area because of the Barton Springs zone...

I have 2021.36.8.5 which is also FSD 10.4. I wonder what the difference is? Maybe different cars need different versions?

And it happens again... https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/federal-judge-stops-txdot-from-bulldozing-protected-trees-in-oak-hill

Plus S. Austin is a supercharging desert. It's really difficult to go to the hill country so having one at the 'Y' is nice for that so you can top up before leaving town.

No superchargers in downtown. The closest is the main supercharger on I35 but it is terrible. If you need to charge downtown a lot get an Austin EV subscription and use one of the chargers downtown. There are some on electric Avenue.

This is the shoppin Yep I hope so. This appears to be the shopping center on the south east corner of bee caves road and 360 where HEB and Chick-Fil-A are at.

Looks like a permit application was just submitted for Westlake Hills. https://abc.austintexas.gov/public-search-other?t_detail=1&t_selected_folderrsn=12743903&t_selected_propertyrsn=118906

They have been planning this since we moved here in 2005. I'll believe it when I see it. They just did the kick off party stuff and there are some new signs on the side of the road so maybe that means something?

I am super excited for this one. I live really close to this location. I am about 2 to 3 miles up 71 from this location. I wonder if the Austin - West coming soon marker that is on the map is for this location. Anyway it makes a lot of sense for those that are driving west to Fredericksburg or...

You could probably fit an 800kWh battery pack in that.

Hopefully that one stays in business. The one in S. Austin closed.

Yeah still doesn't solve the access issues. The mall is really strange too because it has that perimeter road that has another half perimeter road. It is just confusing and isn't obvious where it is at from the main road. Plus getting the right exit, in traffic, to go the right direction is a...

Actually the more I think about this I think Barton Square mall would be a poor choice for a supercharger. Why you might ask? Because if you are travelling through Austin between Houston and maybe Fredericksburg it would really stink to have to get up into the mall parking lot. That is a pain...

I like it better down here than in S. Dallas which is what I call anything north of the river.

YES! I absolutely love this. How much do I love this? A LOT. We really need a fast charger down south.

Where the heck would they put them? I work down by there and I have no idea where they would go. The seaholm garage is already over capacity and I go in there a lot to go to Trader Joes and parking is a pain. It could be in the library I guess? The Northshore might have room but who knows...

Watch out for wild boar :) Whoops wild hogs... Wild hogs still a danger on SH130, woman recalls crash

Oh and one thing I noticed is road surface makes a huge difference in the efficiency. The smoother the asphalt the better the wh/mile.

Wow really?? I live in Austin and after you get outside the city the speed limit is usually 75. On I10 east of San Antonio to El Paso the speed limit is 80. On the toll road between Austin and San Antonio the speed limit is 85. Yeah I live in Austin and 85 is not that uncommon outside the...

Just got done with Autocraft Bodywerks to repair the rock damage from the city truck. $9k OUCH. Waiting for my insurance to respond to the quote.

Either way could be a possibility. If the rework consists of body work that could be done anywhere. My car was repainted in the back which could have been done at any available paint shop.

What if they spread out repairs of cars that are not working or have issues after production to other facilities all over the US? What if your car needed paint and they have a contract body shop in OK that is actually painting your car? Most likely this isn't true but I just don't see why they...

Thanks it will be interesting to find out what your findings are. I thought it was an interesting conspiracy theory though :)

Ok here is a conspiracy theory that might have some weight. My coworker mentioned this and he is waiting for his car and yesterday they just postponed his scheduled delivery by 2 weeks. He has been probably in the process for 3 weeks already since he was first requested info like payment info...

Thanks I PM'd you. I most likely will be going to Autocraft Bodywerks. I'll know more when we get farther in the claims process. Right now I just made the initial call and am waiting for my adjuster to get in touch with me in the next day or so.

Tesla called me out of the blue today to tell me that they made a mistake and my first tire rotation would be free and subsequent tire rotations would be 87.50 or something like that.

I went there and they are amazing. They work on really high dollar stuff. I felt like a poor dude surrounded by Ferrari's, Bentley's, etc... The problem with Berli's is they make you sign something that if the insurance doesn't pay the full amount then you have to pay the difference. I am...

Another Austin question. Can anyone recommend a Tesla certified body shop in the Austin area? I am needing to get the front end of my car painted. I am working with my insurance now on a city truck dumping about 200 rocks onto the front of my car. My insurance wants to recommend Caliber...

What exactly do you want checked out? I'll be at the service center on Monday to take my car in for service. I could take a look but I would want specific details on what you are looking for. Plus I might not be as detail oriented as you are etc...

I have everything but the impact gun. I could still do it myself but jack stands make me nervous. I don't know why I am always afraid they won't hold :) I have done brakes etc... myself but I jack up one at a time, put a jackstand under the car with the jack and then when done move to the...

@JGard that is an awesome offer thanks! I do live in SW Austin but not Circle C but I can get there in minutes. I live off of 71 near Jack Allen's. You can see my house on the hill from the highway.

Anyone have a recommendation on where to get tires rotated? The service center is charging me $140 for it and I'll do it this time but I need some place that is more reasonable. If I pay that to rotate them every 5k to 6k miles and it gives me an extra 5 to 6k miles it isn't worth it on the...

Brian Daly at Austin Detailing is amazing. Really top notch service.

I just wanted to check back in that I installed the hub that @Andrew recommended and it works great. We just got back from a road trip and my wife used the charging spot connected to that hub and we had no issues the entire trip.

Just drove to Orlando from Austin and back. Stopped here two times on the way to Orlando and both times were on a Saturday. First time we stopped at Whataburger on the way to the supercharger to get food because we were hungry for dinner and good thing we did because I didn't realize how...

Thanks that is what I was planning on doing.

Thanks! I'll get that one then. What port do you plug the cable into or does it matter? I probably would have went that route but I am asking 9 days before we leave. I am super busy this weekend so I don't have time to rip my car apart and I am scared I would not get it back together before...

Hey @Andrew when you connect your hub to the front port and then the phone to that port what type of charge rate do you get now that the car can do 2A to the front ports? We have 2 iPhone X and I want to have a Sandisk 128GB media thumb drive connected at the same time to the front ports. We...

I figured out how to add the destination chargers. One it kind of did automatic for me the other one I had to find on the map. Also I found my trip maxes out google maps because they only allow 10 stops. I might need to break it up some.

1960's Jaguar E-type for me. It might actually be reliable!
