    Need a little help...

    Can someone please explain how to delete one's account. I am no longer buying a Tesla and have cancelled my Model 3 reservation and would like to delete my account. It should be an easy thing to do but can't find anything on this site on how to go about doing it. I check the ToS though to be...

    Advice on removing water spots

    Thank you for the clarification. :) I thought the use of "almost like" was enough of a qualifier that coatings are not self healing but can see how someone not crazy into detailing products would be confused. To clarify what I meant was that I have seen spots/etching from things like water...

    Advice on removing water spots

    Opti-Coat (and also CQuartz) is the best possible defense against water spots. It is almost like a self healing clear coat (exaggerated but not far off). With Opti-Coat you hardly even need to dry your car if you rinse it off by sheeting the water across the paint. That will leave very few...

    Advice on removing water spots

    Depending on how bad the spots are you will probably need to polish them out. I detail cars and do paint correction on the side and if the water is particularly hard or the spots are not taken care of immediately, the minerals will etch into the clear coat. If that is the case you will need to...

    Had you already driven a Tesla before you ordered M3?

    Haven't even sat in one yet. I was planning on scheduling a test drive after the Model 3 pre-orders slowed down but haven't had the time yet. Hopefully soon!

    Bigger battery and dual motor are the two main options I am planning on getting. Cold weather package is probably next in line. I have a while to save up and am hoping to put at least half down on the car. If I reach my goal of half down at the time of purchase I will look at more performance...

    Done With All The Crap On ICE Cars

    The V6 model of G8 is notorious for timing chains stretching. When we got it apart the left bank chain was off by one link. I was lucky I didn't have a catastrophic failure the way I drive. ;)

    Done With All The Crap On ICE Cars

    Just had to replace the trans on my current car a few months ago (Pontiac G8). Shortly after that I had to do the timing chains. A couple thousand dollars in repairs that I won't have to ever worry about again when my Model 3 arrives. :) The timing of the repairs almost caused me to not have...

    Hello from IL

    Hello all, just another one of probably many new members here after the Model 3 unveil. I live in Homer Glen, IL (SW 'burbs of Chicago). I work midnights so I headed to my local Tesla store (Oakbrook) to reserve mine after work the morning of the 31st. By the time I got there there were...
