    Highland suspension on 2019 Model 3

    Saw a youtube video that mentioned a bunch of chassis improvements on the highland as well such as extra welds and such. I'll have to find that video again and post it here. The new suspension is just part of the new ride comfort.

    Trade In / Finance

    I had them work my numbers with a trade first. Then I got an offer from Carmax later. Carmax came in a little higher after we worked the numbers out so they modified the numbers and removed my trade-in before I took delivery and gave me an amount due at delivery.

    How does this lease deal look?

    How does this lease deal look?

    If I put down $4500, it looks like my monthly payment goes up to $495/mo. If I finance it instead with $4500 down for 72 months it’s gonna be $608/mo at 8.79% interest according to Tesla website. About $100 more to finance vs leasing sound like a better deal? I see they list a $7500 EV...

    What is this exactly on my brand new Model Y?

    The SC would likely have made it worse and put more burn marks on I'm sure. They don't really know how to use orbital polishers properly.

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    Wish I could turn mine off with AP. They wipe even in the absence of rain.

    What is this exactly on my brand new Model Y?

    Take it to a detailer. It looks like orbital polisher burn marks on one of the photos.

    forgot to order via referral code

    I was thinking about cancelling mine too but the trade-in offer they gave me was $2-2.5k higher than the one they gave me a month ago so I didn't want to kick myself with a potentially lower trade-in offer just to save $250. I am taking delivery on Friday now.

    forgot to order via referral code

    I texted the rep at the local service center near me and all he said that the referral code cannot be added retroactively and said I was more than welcome to cancel the order and reorder if I wanted. If I talk to someone else there's a chance they add my own referral code?

    forgot to order via referral code

    Hey gang, I've only purchased used Teslas before but I decided to go ahead and put a deposit down on a Y a few days ago. I ordered it through the website like a total noob and didn't use my own referral code via the app. I thought there would be a place to put my referral code when I ordered...

    Model Y standard range battery LFP?

    I know the base RWD M3 has no foglights, no subwoofer and no floormats. Besides the battery, does the standard range MY missing features the LR MY has?

    Model Y standard range battery LFP?

    4680 cells are newer than the 2170 cells, correct? 2170 cells are in the LR MY, are the 4680 cells better than the 2170 cells or are they basically the same? Also, is Tesla putting HW4 on all ordered MY's now or is it a crapshoot?

    Model Y standard range battery LFP?

    Hey all, visiting from the S and 3 forums. Wanted to ask if the standard range MY comes with a LFP battery rated for 279 miles and if the MYLR has the standard battery rated for 330 miles? I believe that's how the current M3 RWD and M3 AWD are set up? Or is the battery in the standard range...

    M3P $3000+ off

    Battery warranty expires Sept 8 and tabs are good til November so I prob shouldn't pull the trigger for another couple months. Worried about the price going back up but if prices come down even more then I won't complain.

    M3P $3000+ off

    Ah gotcha. So new LR AWD for about $46-48k with EV credit or used 2021 LR AWD with no EV credit? and 14k miles with EAP and 20 miles more range for $45k? Seems like a no brainer to get a new 2023 model?

    M3P $3000+ off

    Another question: just found a used 2021 LR AWD but it is listed with a 353 mile range. New LR AWD 3's are listed with a 333 mile range. Why the difference?

    M3P $3000+ off

    do you guys know if all the inventory model 3’s come with the LFP battery now or is the LFP only in the SR trim? 272 mile range for the SR trim vs 333 for the LR AWD.

    M3P $3000+ off

    Coming from the S forum, my 2015 85D w/ 84k miles will run out of HV battery warranty in Sept. Roll the dice or switch it up? VIN is 100xxx and one thing I learned from this forum is anything above 70xxx VIN has a more robust HV battery but you never know. Free SC and free connectivity. Test...

    Trade in value for 2015 S 85D with 83k miles

    Does free supercharging stay with the car if I sell it privately or does Tesla eventually deactivate it? Test drove a long range Y today. Competent but the handling around the sweepers is not confidence inspiring unfortunately. Test drove a 3 performance right after and that felt much better...

    Used 2015 Tesla Model S 85D

    I just got a trade-in offer from Tesla of $15k for my 2015 S 85D with 83k miles. KBB is 20-25k.

    Trade in value for 2015 S 85D with 83k miles

    Tesla gave me an offer of ~$15k for my 2015 Model S 85D with 83k miles on it. I am looking into a new Model Y. KBB lists it for $20-25k. Go with the Tesla offer or look for a local used Model Y at a non-Tesla dealership? I have purchased two used Model S both from Tesla over the last 6 years.

    next car: new model 3 or used model 3 with FSD?

    Hey all, My 2015 85D will no longer have the battery warranty this fall. Options are to keep and eventually buy a new battery or switch up to a model 3. Looking at used 3's that are AWD (performance or not) and would like to get one with FSD to experience what all the fuss is about. If I buy...

    Anyone consider moving to a model y from an s

    Thinking about it! 2015 85D with 55k miles with another 2+ years left on the used Tesla warranty. I do think the S looks better but AP1 depreciation is much worse than AP2 or higher. FUSC is nice but I barely use SC's. Still rockin' MCU1 and it randomly reboots maybe once every few months so...

    Vinegar smell from HVAC?

    I followed a video and took out my glove box, but because I have a pre-face lift S there was no air cabin filter (or evap coil) anywhere behind it. I've tried searching but does anyone know where the evap coil on a pre-facelift S is?

    Vinegar smell from HVAC?

    Hey gang, I've been reading that some people have been having that delicious smell of vinegar coming from their vents when initially getting into their car and after a few min of driving it seems to go away. Tesla wants to charge me $250 + tax to deodorize the A/C system. Is this the way to...

    Supercharger - Bothell, WA

    Charging outdoors and GFCI breakers

    Hi all, I leave my 85D parked outside and charge it via 240V. The outlet for the charger is inside the garage so that stays dry but the plug into the car gets wet from the rain since the car is a few feet away from the garage and uncovered. Does anyone leave the car outside and plugged in...

    Redundant wiring for self-driving

    Any word if they can retrofit existing Model 3's for the so called redundant wiring or if they will only be available on a future model?

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    I'm on my 2nd CPO Model S. First time around the plates didn't come until after the temp tags expired but back then they just issued another temp tag which I loved because you can drive in the toll lanes toll-free! Second time around they said they could no longer do that so I basically could...

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    It's because you are no longer paying tax on gas which is used to repair the roads so the gov't needs to get that tax payment from EV users via the EV fee/tax. Some states are increasing their EV taxes even higher now.

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    2015 85D $1119.25 of which $801.00 is RTA tax Thinking of switching to a new 3 just to pay a lower RTA tax (makes little sense I know). Would also get AP2+ with it at least.

    How bad is this?

    I'm going to Tesla today to see what they say and also turning down the amps to 32. I've had my 2015 85D since Oct/Nov of last year. I had a 2013 S85 for a year before that and never any problems.

    How bad is this?

    It’s a 14-50. I got the plug from Amazon about a year ago and have left everything plugged in since Day 1. I think the extension cord costs about $80. Everything still works but you guys think I should definitely still replace the extension? I can plug directly into the wall but it barely...

    How bad is this?

    I use an extension cord. I think some water got into the seam as the garage door was opening. That’s my only thought on how this happened. Everything still works fine so all I did was move the connection right against the wall away from any water drops that may drip from the garage door. Do...

    Additional batteries and second charger

    There was a guy on Rich Rebuilds that transformed a RS5/S5 Audi body into a full EV using Tesla batteries. There's definitely a way to do it.

    Still missing most recent update

    Thanks for all the responses. I was able to get through to someone using Tesla chat. They told me that the size of the update was so big that I needed to connect it to WiFi. The WiFi is weak where I keep my car parked so need to figure out a stronger spot to park it while it updates...

    Road trip: Seattle to Vancouver, BC

    I guess I should be more specific. Does my 2015 85D still have free supercharging (minus the idling fees)?

    Road trip: Seattle to Vancouver, BC

    In light of the supercharger price hikes, I have the option of taking my 2015 85D or an ICE suv. Is supercharging still free for those of us with older Model S cars? Will we get charged idling fees at superchargers if the car is at full charge? Would it make more sense just to drive an ICE on...

    WSJ Panamera - Why?!?

    People who buy the Kia Stinger wonder why anyone would spend money on a Panamera or Model S. Same car but less than half the price. I owned a 2010 Panamera 4S and had a 2019 Panamera as a loaner for a week. Great cars. The suspension on the new Panamera was sublime. Fit and finish was also...

    please honest opinion only

    Hondas and Acuras can break down and leave you stranded too don't forget. I have friends that buy Japanese cars for reliability and when they end up in the shop it is a very painful reality for them. Tesla is still proving to be reliable than most.

    After 4 years of ownership do you plan to keep your tesla ?

    Probably too many other tempting EV's by then. Wouldn't be scared of keeping it after 4 years unless it was having issues throughout.
