Duh! Forgot about that. I have only used the adapter once and that was 5 months ago.

How was she able to pull the charging cable out of the Tesla? Wasn't it locked in place?

Maybe "Wingman" then? (or "WIngperson"?) /s

I wonder if there would be as much controversy surrounding this if the feature had been named Copilot instead of Autopilot. I also wonder if the 'Auto' in Autopilot was meant to suggest automobile, automatic, or be ambiguous.

Apparently anyone who already bought FSD will get invitations to enroll in the EAP (early adopter program) and test out new features before they are pushed out with the normally scheduled software updates.

I have a Pixel XL as well and agree that it's good but not perfect. It will 100% of the time eventually unlock the door, but maybe every other day there will be a delay of varying length. Sometimes it's just 2-3 seconds, but sometimes it's more like 10-15 seconds. For those longer delays I...

Now all you need are the following: Tint Ceramic coat and/or PPF Floor mats Center console organizer Replacement interior and puddle LED lights Jack pads Rinseless car wash Spray on sealant/wax Rain X Vinyl wraps for the center console and dash Screen protector About 1 metric ton of microfiber...

If you use heat gun/hair dryer and fishing line - make sure you pull the fishing line parallel to the surface the whole time until the badge is all the way off. Resist the urge to rush things along and start pulling more diagonal or perpendicular as it starts to loosen. Sometimes you'll end up...

You do realize that the car is not actually farting, right?

I hope everyone realizes that the "huge inventory of 3000+" Model 3s just "lying around" equals about 3 to 4 days of production. <air quotes, not actual quotes>

Roughly how much of the tax credit will you be able to claim?

In my area many public libraries have 3D printers available for public use. You need to download the STL file(s) from thingiverse, then use a program like Cura to open the STL file. Make adjustments to fill density, print speed, nozzle and bed temperature, skirt/raft, support structure, scale...

To be honest, I just dabble with 3D printing and I don't have any red filament. Here is a link to the files to print the caps if anyone else on this board happens to have red. A spool of filament can cost anywhere from $15-40, which is way more than what I think these things are worth - I'd...

Can't wait to show the kids this update Elon Musk keeps word on Tesla's "Romance Mode" and "Toilet Humor" Easter Eggs

Tesla Model 3 - Door Pocket Ambient Lighting - Color Caps by tyanger They are still a work in progress, but here are the files on Thingiverse. The front door designs are pretty good - there is the thicker one you see here and I made a slightly thinner one too. The rear door design is giving...

Soft plastic pry tool and opposable thumbs. I used a butter knife with a piece of folded cardboard to get the stock lights out. The wiring harness has a retaining clip that needs to be pressed in then you can remove the light. I had trouble with 1 of my door/puddle lights that required...

I think the bright LEDs for the trunk and puddle lights are a must. You will not regret replacing those because you can't see jack with the stock ones. Even the 'T' logo puddle lights are brighter than the stock lights. I'm pretty sure the ones for the footwell will work in the trunk/puddles...

Besides distance between the pedals, there is also the heights of the pedals to consider. Brake pedals are usually 'higher' than accelerator pedals - in the Model 3 it is about 2 inches higher . I don't know what the specific reason for that design is, or what the industry average is, but I...

I took delivery in Dallas October 11 with no temporary license tags. 2 days later they e-mailed me my temporary tags, Actually I received 2 sets of temp tags to get me through December 11, but I had to print, laminate, and install them myself (at Fedex/Kinkos - pattern developing?) About 1 week...

It's hard to convey accurately through photos due to ambient lighting and camera settings. This is in my garage with 1 window, during the day, with all the lights off, taken with Pixel Night Sight. Also, this is with the door just opened, so it is the brighter setting - it gets dimmer with the...

press brake and both steering wheel buttons at the same time until the screen goes blank then let go and let system restart

I liked having the ambient lighting on, but the wife and kids always wanted it off - so I designed and 3D printed these colored caps to snap into the holes for the LED lights in the doors. I printed in blue to match the blue footwell lights from Abstract Ocean. It makes the light dimmer and...

I don't think the backup camera is perfectly centered on the Model 3. Noticed this while washing car for first time, but I never checked to see if they accounted for this on the guidelines or not.

I ordered a faux leather ID badge holder that works well for handing off to valet. I think it was about $5. I keep it in the armrest console and stick the card in when I need to use it. I also switched out the metal key ring/clip for a short fabric lanyard - probably being paranoid, but didn't...

As it quietly pulls away and proceeds to do exactly that. Some (if not many) people prefer a sleeper.

I have September build and didn't notice any problems closing the trunk as far as force required. I bring it halfway down with the inner hand grip and then shut the rest of the way by pushing on license tag so I don't get smudges on the paint.

Not sure if this has been covered already, but the day I took delivery the only thing I noticed immediately was that the hood/frunk cover was not level when closed. The driver side was visibly 'deeper' than the passenger side relative to the respective fenders. I mentioned it to the delivery...

Glad to see I'm not the only one that had some issues. Three doors went very quickly with no hiccups for me. However, the rear driver's side door was almost majorly f-d up. For some reason the wire on that door was a lot shorter than the others - as soon as I pulled the original light out the...

You're so close! Like so many others on this board, I think once you finish running this gauntlet, you'll find it more than worth the wait. Just hang in there a little longer!

Any good ideas out there for organizing the center console rear storage compartment? it seems too deep and cavernous to be able to easily find anything in it as is. Or maybe someone tell me what's supposed to go in there.

Did anyone get a scale model car in a color other than red? I received a red one, but my car is blue. Just curious if there are other colors out there and if so whether there is any interest in swapping models to match the cars actually owned.

Just received V9 update around 2 am. Haven't had a chance to test it.

Got one at delivery today, but had to ask for it. Actually almost forgot and drove off, but my wife remembered and ran in to ask. I don't think they actually checked to confirm if we waited in line or not. Can't hurt to ask when you pick up your vehicle.

Any luck yet? Are you able to take it into a service center? I just picked up my car today at the Dallas service center, and despite having ordered/payed for EAP it was not activated during our walk around. I mentioned it and they activated it right then and there. It finished calibrating on...

UPDATE: 2018.10.4 finalized loan paperwork (2.5%) - overnight cashier's check to Freemont address because that's what was on the MVPA. (IDA said check should go to Las Vegas address instead (Pollock Dr) but it was en route already ... oops - now delivery will be delayed -...

Luckily I didn't take the bait. The shadiest part for me was the update on my account saying I need to "please pay off your remaining balance prior to delivery" in the midst of all the hype implying imminent delivery this weekend. Unfortunately, I did partially get suckered because I did go...

Me too. Glad I didn't submit payment earlier today.

My account changed to ask for payment about 11 hours ago, but still no VIN/MVPA. I'm not paying anymore until I at least have a VIN, and even then it sounds like you can still have hope of delivery yanked.

Looking at the stock price, maybe now is the time to go private for $300/share

That is my understanding as well. Maybe for this end of quarter push they are playing a little fast and loose? I received an email from and Inside Delivery Advisor a few hours ago stating my "MVPA will be ready shortly" and he will forward it to me soon. Still no VIN or appointment...

This. Just got off phone with Tesla (888)5183752 and the lady basically said the mass texts were just a tool to gauge interest and availability (of buyers), but if no VIN shows in account then no car available yet. My account has updated to point where it has a link to submit down/final...

Line waiter, Config 7/21/2018, DBM/Black/AWD/EAP/19"

Unsolicited. I received the canned text messages, but I replied anyway. I only included the bank name and I asked for a copy of the title application with the lender listed as lien holder. The bank requires this in addition to the MVPA since I'm going to have the funds deposited into my bank...

NM. I misunderstood what deal was being discussed. Please disregard my nonsense.

I didn't actually take the deal, but I can confirm that for P3D+ models the deal does exist. I called the main Tesla number (8885183752) this morning to ask and at first they seemed confused, but eventually they said it was true. They told me to call the nearest Tesla store to find out what...

Surely there are many more details to be discovered, but if this report is true it would explain a lot. Tesla driver killed while using autopilot was watching Harry Potter, witness says
