    Tesla refusing to transfer lifetime supercharging after taking delivery.....disappointing.

    Good luck to you, but you based your information on an email Tesla sent, which at least in my version says "Cannot be combined with other inventory or sales offers". When you asked follow-ups, did you ask specifically about transfering with the $4K discount in place? If you asked this and they...

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    We will be picking up our new Y tomorrow and there seems to be a newer process. After reserving I clicked an option in the app to transfer our free SC. Now there are no documents visible to me that show this. Tesla rep says that they can see the intent to transfer was checked on their end, and...

    How Aggressive Should Tesla Be with Variable Pricing to Manage Supercharger Congestion? (i.e. Should Tesla jack rates at chronically congested SCers?)

    The exclusion I would make is for any locked 60D battery cars, since their capacity and charging curve to 100% is like the same curve to 80% on an unlocked car.

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    When I went back to the salesperson and asked him to please verify his information he said what he told me originally was wrong. Well not so much admitted he was wrong (that would be too much to ask), but verified that the $250 discount could not be combined with the transfer.

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    Trade in or sell after delivery. We don’t need the extra car nor really have space for one. The salesperson I talked with today said the loyalty discount would still be applied with the FUSC transfer.

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    We got the offer as original 2016 MX owners. We don’t SC much but our FUSC comes with 1 owner transfer. I believe transfer ability was removed in 2017 so there should not be many of these left still with original owners. Would I be able to sell my car now, transferring FUSC and then the buyer...

    Model X 60D Range

    They were trying to increase deliveries at the end of 2016 so as one of their sales levers they agreed to reduce the purchase price in exchange for limiting the charging limit, They wouldn't have given that to us for free and we wouldn't have bought a more expensive configuration which IIRC was...

    Can I drive to the airport and leave my car with some company for them to rent it out?

    FlightCar.. had a friend working there at their inception so to support his business we tried dropping our car off (a Toyota) a couple of times as well as renting. At the beginning things were ok, but then things went downhill due to mismanagement. I'd rent a car for a week, halfway through the...

    Model X 60D Range

    Ours is down to 173mi at 100%, was 200mi as new. We have 44K miles on it. Forget "other", I don't see *any* way published other than to try to flee from a natural disaster area. So yes, also interested in the magical unlock of the unicorn car.

    Coolant Low Warning Concern

    We have a 2016 X 60D and had the low coolant warning for the first time last month, but were in the middle of a trip so had to drive 300 miles with the warning going off. Service replaced 2 valves, one that was leaking and the other because it was the same age and there was no extra labor...

    "Why should I pay for your gas? I'm not paying for anyone else's gas"

    Pre-pandemic, I drove my Fiat 500e to work, 14 miles each way. I bought the car for this commute and had not set up home charging for it yet, so I was charging at work as much as possible. The building and garage were leased, so actions were taken by the building owners, not my employer. There...

    Walk me through the design decision for the cybertruck

    I'm pretty sure the number will not be zero, with how popular EVs are in Hawaii what with the high gas prices and EV incentives. (E.g. If you go to the HNL airport parking lot half the cars are EVs because they park for FREE.)

    Official Thread: Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) Event - Nov 21, 2019

    I’d have to see it in person, the reveal was not revealing enough wrt actually carrying bulky things. For towing our camper, the specs look terrific. Maybe not great for city and garage parking.

    C’mon Folks! Be nice to fellow EV owners

    Pretty much this, when I’m only coming here to see a 2+ hour movie my car will be idling for a long time if it’s supercharging (60D, can only actively charge about an hour max), and running out in the middle of a movie to move a vehicle is not a great charging experience.

    Supercharger - Lynnfield, MA

    I was in the area by chance and just found out about this charger from the car’s map. Mostly 5 cars there for the 40 mins we were charging during dinner hour. Delighted to discover a Capital One cafe right next to a Panera. The only thing I don’t like about the mall locations is that when you’re...

    Knock off another $5k in Canada

    Tesla doesn't have control over the rules set by the Canadian government. I'm sure there are buyers of vehicles that were on the original list, who also missed out on the rebate by buying a month early. They have the same feeling as you, but it has nothing to do with the manufacturers of the...

    Recharging Etiquette

    The last time I checked my app, in the charging screen there is a Nearby Superchargers section, showing number of slots available for my closest 4 superchargers. I don't know if this section is hidden while supercharging; I hope not.

    Supercharger - Cambridge, MA

    If you just need to add a few emergency miles there is a grace period where you can exit the garage free. You pull a ticket upon entry and then validate it at a machine, then scan the ticket to exit. I stopped by for a quick errand, went to pay at the kiosk within ~10 minutes (it said my cost...

    Dual motor coming before SR

    Interestingly, under the dual motor option it says "Choice of 220 or 310 mile range." It would be fantastic if SR AWD was opened up along with LR AWD.

    Transferring a Model 3 reservation = no problem?

    Has anyone ever confirmed whether the priority-holder must be physically present at delivery? Is there anything that needs to be done that can't be accomplished at my local Tesla store or by overnight mail or fax? I'm trying to pass my priority reservation to my parents, but they live about 5000...

    Winter tires, or no winter tires?

    Upgrade price change for 60D to 75D?

    I would say that if you are regularly towing, a 100D will make the range more comfortable and the overall trip will take less time. The 75D requires more time for the trip and more planning.

    Lightweight trailers a Model 3 might be able to tow

    Yes, that's what I'm hopeful for. I'll need to gather that on our next camping trip. It's a 2014 S Maxx, which is the first or second year of the wet bath model. Ordered it through a Little Guy dealer in PA (built next door in OH), it took maybe 2 months. It's pretty similar to the one...

    Lightweight trailers a Model 3 might be able to tow

    A From anecdotal experience towing our T@B with our ICE car and now our X60D, I believe the numbers. We got a 50% hit on range with our ICE and the X uses a lot more kWh towing than we initially thought it would. Speed and outside temperature make a noticeable difference. That said, it's not a...

    Model Y - let the Photoshopping begin

    I will go far as to say that I like the falcon doors because of their utility getting kids in and out of car seats. It's pretty much a killer feature for that reason. It helps with a) not hitting their head on the roof, b) being able to stand over them to buckle them in rather than an awkward...

    Price drop X75D 4/17

    Sure, but this is a X75D thread, and you're making statements based on a $2K upgrade price that only applies to the S. It's a bit confusing. BTW I have X60D and my upgrade price was also updated to $6500. For $2K we would pull the trigger, but at $6500, well there's still a lot of room for that...

    Low coolant.....

    Our X is going back to the SC for low coolant for the fourth time this month. Each time the coolant level is low, they fill it, they try to diagnose the leak, give it back to us a few days later, and then after about 3 days the light comes on again. Our parking is uncovered and it has been snowy...

    No AWD for Model 3 until next year confirmed

    I noticed a difference when our X was in the service and we had a RWD S loaner. It just slides a lot more on snow. If you're not comfortable with that, I'd definitely wait.

    Falcon Doors, Mirrors not working in cold

    Could you explain how they fixed it? Our X is in service now; this morning one FWD was stuck "closed" (down but failed to latch), front door also failed to close. We were late for school so I drove them carefully, and after driving 15 minutes, *both* FWD were stuck closed. Outside temp of 12 F...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    https://www.tesla.com/support/supercharger-idle-fee says that the idle fee will be charged if at least 50% of spots are full "once the charge session is complete". This doesn't specify whether the fee/no fee determination is based solely on the instant that charging is complete, or on a...

    Camping Trailer Selection for Model X

    We hope to join you in 2018 with our 1723, so there will be at least 3 X-Alto combos. We currently have a T@B, which we just towed for the first time with the X. We had one very harrowing uphill section of ~70 miles between SCs with zero charging infra in between, ~30 F, and hit a pocket of snow...

    It's the law: Electric cars must make noise after September 2019

    But $3K is still a lot to pay for software which you can't use when you buy it and no idea of when or if you will ever legally be able to use it. Until it is actually being used somewhere in the real world, they should make self driving available as a reservation, $3K cash interest free to Tesla...

    Will regulatory approval of Self Drive include override by the State?

    And that's IF you can pull out of traffic. That's almost never the case on my commute- there is simply no "extra lane" of space, so sometimes the right thing to do is not to try to pull over but to keep the traffic flowing. Also you often can't see the lights because they're around a corner. You...

    AP1 owners take heart

    Yeah, road salt and mud have a way of only going where you want it to go. I wouldn't be ok with my car notifying me that it needs to be rescued because it sloshed in a big puddle and can't see where it's going. Anything on the outside of the car is susceptible to being blocked or vandalized. If...

    60D Order/Delivery Thread

    We're in the northeast where superchargers are fairly dense, and thus 60D was probably going to be enough for us. If it turns out not to be the case, we can upgrade later to 75D for a minor penalty. That was a big factor in having the confidence to buy a "smaller" (software limited) battery. We...
