    Supercharger - Lakewood, CO (Colorado Mills)

    I was just looking at the supercharger map on tesla.com where it talks about another potential site. The gray pin is near Wads and I-70. It says coming 2020 right now. Of course it could be the case that Tesla removes that from their map. Not sure why they haven't if they just built a site...

    Supercharger - Lakewood, CO (Colorado Mills)

    The is very cool. I'm not far away either. I just noticed today on my App that there was a Lakewood Charger. 16 Chargers and 250kW ... yes sir! Looks like they have one planned for south of I-70 on Wads as well at some point. But this is great news. Low chance of ICEing, lots of Chargers...

    Model 3 performance new 18 inch wheel option now avail 7/15/19

    That was my experience. It may change later, of course. I got in touch with someone who searched the existing inventory. I ended up with the last P3D- in red in the US, I was told. Very happy with it so far. The Tesla person who searched the inventory at the time (almost a month ago) said...

    Model 3 performance new 18 inch wheel option now avail 7/15/19

    Congrats! Just took delivery of my P3D- car (w 18s) as well. Definitely do a very thorough look through of the car, even if the Delivery "Specialist" is trying to rush you or otherwise being a bit of a dweeb. I found some things, all relatively minor, wrong with the car. Nothing that hampers...

    Used Tesla Model 3s pricing error?

    It's so confusing. In the end, they are shipping the car to me in Colorado. It says delivery is on Sept 20th, but I don't have my MVPA to give to my bank yet, who has approved an auto loan for more than I'll need, and I'll probably borrow the max allowable at 3.5% over 6 years. Should avoid...

    Used Tesla Model 3s pricing error?

    Hmm. That's interesting or "stupid" as you put it. I mean, you are helping the environment regardless of where you buy the car as long as you live in Cali or Wash, why would they care? Probably other motives. Okay. At least for me in Colorado, no matter where I've actually purchased a car...

    Tax is based on where you live and register the car, not where you pick it up at.

    Good luck! I was going to do this next week to Minn. But now I'm not going to. Put that baby on AP and enjoy the ride home.

    Have you been able to get through on Tesla chat or phone support?

    To All thinking about chat ... Tesla's chat client is really, really basic. It's clear that from the hiding and lack of sophistication of the chat client, that Tesla either doesn't want this to be a main means of communication, or simply can't staff it. If you find the "secret" hidden chat...

    Have you been able to get through on Tesla chat or phone support?

    To add to the post above, the chat option doesn't show up until after you select a topic, and put some text in the free text field. At least in my experience so far, recently.

    Open the Javascript console. It has a Queue Position field, which tells you where you are in line when you made the initial chat request. It doesn't update though.

    Used Tesla Model 3s pricing error?

    They will ship the car to Colorado for $1000. At that price, it makes sense not to fly out, and then drive home. Or at least it's close. Time is money. Honestly for me, $2k or $4k, I wouldn't do that delivery fee, and would do as I planned here. That's on top of the original $1200 doc or...

    Used Tesla Model 3s pricing error?

    I would think you'd just reserve the car you would intend to buy not horde them due to an unknown or excuse. But to each his own. Nothing illegal. What's the end result? Some people who wanted one of those cars at a price point missed out. That's my point.

    Used Tesla Model 3s pricing error?

    On the topic of delivery fees ... I put deposit down on a "unicorn" or "stealth" or "sleeper" M3, which is a P3D- so 18s and none of the performance HW upgrades. I'm pumped. Get's me to the point. Car is in Minneapolis and I'm in Colorado. The SA said he won't know the transpo fee etc until...

    I agree on the value. IMO ... they should unlock the extra performance for all existing owners for $2k. But I know that's another (very long and well discussed) thread. It doesn't hurt to ask. They may know of where an inventory car is too.

    Thank you. I appreciate the fast response. I was thinking that I just have to make some calls here. I don't need 20 inch rims I'm not going to track it etc. I just want the 3.2 second goody. I'm ready to buy TODAY. Maybe that will motivate them some. I hope so.

    Is there any way to get the P3D- anymore? Looks like the ordering page has changed again for a new purchase. I'm ready to buy but I want the P3D- config. Thanks for any help.

    Yet Another Self Install of the Blackvue DR650GW-2CH

    no ... supercharging has no effect. Supercharging is for the high-voltage main battery pack. The 12v system that powers your dascam is from a 12v battery. It's a separate system. The only interaction between the main battery and the 12v battery is via a DC-DC converter that recharges the 12v...

    Professional Dash Cam Installation in Metro Denver?

    Hey guys ... thanks for the replies. I've done more research on this, which I'll share here: -- The computers, etc in the Tesla already draw somewhere in the range of 30-50W when the car is off. That's going to drain the 12v system (even before you add your 5W dashcam). What the Tesla does...

    Professional Dash Cam Installation in Metro Denver?

    Quick question ... did everyone here do the always on power? For folks that did, did you notice any shortening of life of the 12V battery in the Tesla? The dash cam only put like 5W of power requirement, tops, during parking mode. That's not a lot but I want to see anyone's practical...

    Cost to install your 14-50 plug at home?

    14-50 installer in Denver?

    I used New Electric who is listed on the Tesla website as a recommended installer. Charged me $385 and my conduit run was only about 5 maybe 7 feet ... luckily. I priced out 2 other installers ... one came back at $650 and the other at $975. I sent them a picture of my electrical panel and...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    It's interesting to read some folks doing the wrap and others the opticoat and some both. I'm not sure what I'll ultimately go with. I'll have to weigh the costs and how the detailer assesses my needs ... which I guess I'm not clear on either because which level of protection and price point...

    You have the right to be frustrated. It's their job to increase or maintain your satisfaction, not decrease it. Some just don't seem to take the job seriously, and I think that's not a good thing for Tesla. Their technology is awesome, but it's completely propping up their customer service...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    You know ... it's actually a little funny in Colorado, it's direct sale, but Tesla can only have ONE showroom in the entire state, and can't (for now) open additional ones. The auto dealer lobby flexing here, no doubt.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Interesting and NO, I don't know the rules in other states. So it's entirely possible that Texas has different rules for delivery. And a quick search confirms you sir are correct ... Colorado is a direct sale state and Texas is not. Maybe this link will help others, if needed: Where Can Tesla...

    One thing I wish I had done differently ... for the benefit of others here ... is get on top of the "paint protection" options earlier on. It just didn't really cross my mind. And there are a TON of options to consider! And it makes all the sense in the world to maybe at least consider...

    I can almost guess who this DS is. But outside of that ... you are within your rights to speak or ask for another DS. That's what the loan agents do when it comes down to crunch time. If one is unresponsive (and they know who those folks are), then well is that going to stop your deal? I...

    In my case, insurance was only required on the date of delivery and taking possession, not before. My insurance on the car won't start until Friday, when I take possession. I spoke to my insurance company on this matter, and this all seemed completely expected and normal.

    Completely understandable but I wouldn't share your loyalty and respect for someone who didn't provide you the level of service you expected.

    It's a fair assessment. It's up to Tesla to hire the right talent base to manage user expectation. I don't care what the age demographic is ... just the end result and it's simple: Make your customers comfortable with the delivery expectations and experiences. I've read enough here to know that...

    Mind sharing who your DS was? At this point ... I'm seeing such a wide variety of DS experiences ... it's maybe time to name names. Then maybe Tesla will wonder why folks are calling in to switch DSs. Maybe that will lead to a more standard DS experience, which is good for all of us IMO.

    New Owner in Colorado

    Thank you. This is helpful. Still doing some due diligence here but sounds like Steve has a lot of folks vouching for his work. Which is great. So the main advantage is paint protection, scratch protection, "waxed vehicle" look or shine. Less need for waxing in the future, easier to clean...

    I don't even need transparency into "which car will they build next". If you ask me, Tesla management just needs to audit DS performance as whole. Emails should be responded to in 24 hours. If on weekends, then by COB Monday. That's part of a DS's job ... to convey information sure, but to...
