I may have to abandon installing the Tesla Solar Roof on my home. After fighting with my HOA to get it approved (required letter from an attorney) and pulling permits back in February, my Solar Advisor informed all Solar Roof installations were on hold due to a shortage of some parts (global...

To clarify, part of the reason I want to see another install with the new Solar Roof is that the one new install they did "approve" in my city did not look good (IMHO, no offense intended if the homeowner in question happens to read this forum and deduces which home I'm talking about). I think...

I'd like to take a look at a recent install of the newer version of the Solar Roof (larger tiles, etc.) near zip code 90274. My HOA denied the application for my planned install based on the appearance of the new version. Setting aside that they are probably on shaky legal ground (my...

Sorry to hear that your phone key isn't working. I certainly know how frustrating that can be. However, I'm not sure how misleading the title really was for "most people". First off, you can only get so specific in the title and the caveat of "Possible Solution" should have been enough to...

My phone went straight from some version of Android Nougat (7.1.2?) to Oreo (8.1.0) about two weeks ago. No idea why the update was delayed so long or skipped the earlier Oreo versions (but not surprising that a relatively cheap phone gets less support). I did check if an Android update was...

Since updating my Android phone (Moto G5 plus) to Oreo (OS 8.1.0) a few days ago my phone key has started working perfectly. Prior to that it was very unreliable. It probably worked less than 50% of the time and I had been using the card key almost exclusively since late June. If you're in...

FYI, when the app says "Waking Up" that doesn't necessarily mean the car is asleep. I get the same message sometimes when I open the app and my wife is driving the car. A long delay might be caused by a bad/slow connection or the Tesla servers responding slowly, not just the car waking up.

My wife and I are using key cards for her Model 3. Our phones (both Moto G5 plus) worked less than half the time. I tried some workarounds (toggling airplane mode or Bluetooth using an automation program) but had no luck fixing it. Decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I'm hoping they fix the...

Max already addressed the LATCH with booster seat question but here is a link to the booster seat in question in case anyone is curious (assuming TMC allows links like this): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AHVR7ZI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I had a look at the NHTSA...

I am still investigating the seat geometry issue. That is one reason that I initially bought the smaller extenders from my first post - it seemed like they would keep the lap belt where it needs to be - low and across the lap, just as you said. Since those didn't work I just ordered some...

It is not a question of learning "how to install your car seats properly!", it is more a matter of finding a booster seat that works well with the Model 3. Bear in mind that booster seats are not like infant child seats. Most of them are only secured with the same seat belt as the child so...

Thanks. As you said, some interesting info in there on booster seats as well as the extenders. The reviews on Amazon for the extenders he is using are not great (2.2 stars, not latching consistently for several people) but they might be worth a try.

I'm looking for seat belt extenders for the rear seats of my wife's Model 3. My twins are in booster seats and it is very difficult to buckle the existing belts with booster seats in place. I tried these extenders from Amazon but they seem to be the wrong size...

Yes, you should be able to delay delivery of the car, within reason. Anecdotally, I have heard they will hold a given car/VIN up to a week. Anything beyond that and it may take some time to get another VIN assigned and arrange delivery. Definitely contact Tesla if your trip is coming up soon...

I was assigned a VIN overnight. 3/31 - Online (pre-reveal) reservation - Los Angeles, CA 3/22 - Invite 3/23 - Config - MSM, Aero, no EAP 5/1 (or maybe 4/30) - VIN assigned, 141xx Delivery - TBD Unless the car gets delivered by Friday (joking), I will have to defer delivery due to a extended...

I assigned a VIN overnight and have already updated my data in the tracking spreadsheet. However, unless Tesla can deliver the car by Friday (joking), I will have to defer delivery due to a pending vacation. I am assuming I should update the data when I get my new VIN and then take delivery on...

I'm in almost exactly the same boat, MSM 18" aero for Marina Del Rey pick up. Configured 3/23.

Thanks, Flashflooder. Looks like you revised your initial answer so I'll have to revise my reply as well. Glad to see that your understanding largely matches mine. Following the calculations on some of those worksheets without real numbers gets a little hairy. Of course, they also revised...

Looking for confirmation from someone who has done their taxes when claiming both the EV tax credit and the child tax credit. Alternatively, someone with actual detailed knowledge of tax credits (as opposed to a wanna-be CPA, like me) would be most welcome. Here is the question: I want to...

Based on his comments I assumed using the Model 3 "platform" included not redesigning the entire electrical system to use a new architecture. That would require major re-engineering and testing which would significantly delay the car. However, his comments were not clear and I may be assuming...

I believe he walked that plan back. The Board and employees convinced him to keep things simple and bring the Y to market quicker.

I reserved online (pre-reveal) and received the artwork - two copies actually since I placed two reservations.

I agree with your assessment. If they hit Elon's most recent schedule for the Model 3 and Model S/X deliveries remain about the same, I would expect Tesla to hit the 200K mark in early Q1 2018. If things go very well, I can see them approaching 200K U.S. deliveries in December 2017. In that...

Thanks for the feedback. I am missing the "What happens next" message on the My Tesla page. I am not a current owner. I placed two reservations at approximately 7:40 pm PDT on 3/31 (i.e. as quickly as I could the web page to load in the hour before the reveal). I should probably follow up...

I was reading another thread and someone seemed to indicate that the time and date at which they made their Model 3 reservation showed on their My Tesla account. My page does not, just the reservation number. So, before I pester Tesla about it, does your reservation record on the Tesla Motors...

Tesla can already spend the cash from the reservations. The funds are not in escrow. The appearance of a liability on the balance sheet doesn't stop them. Companies also show bank loans as liabilities but they certainly spend the cash from those. In theory you could lose the $1000 for your...
