Almost certainly the first was due to construction in/around the parking deck I was parking in regularly. Afterwards though, nothing notable. I don't drive through construction sites at all and around them, as much as the average person. I even moved across the country between the second and...

Hey guys, Today I've been informed that I have yet another puncture in my tire due to a nail, and that it is again not able to be repaired due to its location. This is the fourth time this has happened since I got my car right just under 2 years ago. I've never had tires nearly this big and my...

Not super on-topic, but I finally got my Model S so I can finally derp around with the API! :)

Picked up yesterday at noon and walked away with no complaints at the time. Having already paid, it was a quick walkthrough and we were out of there. The only issue I've since spotted is the front passenger door interior trim is not seated properly on the door, so when it's shut from the inside...

TeslaTap has a bunch of undocumented information here, including some on the Tegra 2 & 3 in the IC and MCU. That was reported in 2013 and I have yet to hear of any updated, though I'm not sure how many people have pried it open to find out. Tesla's browser is a custom build of Firefox, so it...

These are the new fob holders provided by Tesla if I'm not mistaken. Where did you see it?

I ordered mine back in April and requested a September delivery. My window has been narrowed to the 5th to the 19th. It began it's journey to the east coast (Charlotte, NC resident here) on the 18th of August, so presumably it's been on the truck for just about two weeks. I was hoping to get it...

I believe they add half a percentage point for CPO vehicles.

Alliant's likely cut off is 670, but any number of circumstances can keep you from getting approved above that. When I was given a rate table, there was no rates for < 670.

That I would indeed do before making any extra payments, in any case. My first priority is to minimize losses (via interest) or put another way, maximize returns, since most investments would indeed yield greater returns, as you said... My question was more hypothetical, in case a situation...

Thank you for the enlightment(s). Thinking on it, my real question should have been, "how can I mitigate being upside down with a longer-term loan?," which I believe was answered and it seems the answer is more beneficial to me as a borrower, actually, in that what I owe on the vehicle would go...

This is going to be a little off-topic, but in the same general area: If you take a loan, for example with a 60 month term with a rate of 1.99%, and you determine that that loan is going to cost you approximately $6,000 in interest over the life of the loan, can you dump $6,000 on top of your...

They say people want better lives for their kids than they had. We're just making sure they know we have it good! ;)

A lot of people have mentioned these: Amazon.com: Silicone FobPocket for the Tesla Model S (Black): Automotive I think your SC wouldn't mind giving you another stock one if you wanted. Also, cool name. :cool:

Unfortunately, that person hasn't logged in a month, and only had that one post.

Need some solidarity among us under-25s. 24 checking in here, too. I have a 75 coming next month. I got full options but in hindsight I should have cut options and gone for a P/90D.

Just want to point out that while having your retirement decently funded according to your lifestyle is important, buying a house is not on everyone's radar (incl. mine). For me at least, while I'm young, as long as it doesn't prompt a major lifestyle change due to a decrease in available...

No. I do not agree. This was not the best possible outcome for anyone, including Tesla. Even the short sellers can't even really claimed to have benefitted. Tesla is already aware of the shortcomings of its software, except now they have to deal with a death causing naysayers to scream it from...

No car for about a year now. Not necessary where I lived (Seoul). I just came back recently and will have the Model S soon, so I'm just busin' and Uberin' until then. Before though, a 2013 Mazda3.

Alliant is very open about their tiers if you ask them. These are the tiers for 72 (or 60, can't remember): 740+: 1.49% 700 - 740: 1.74% 670 - 700: 4.49% 640 - 669: 6.49% If anyone has any idea how your score and term play into the LTV, please share. I've come to believe the LTV is negotiable...

What if you have a reservation car that hasn't entered production? Mine's just in queue and I wouldn't mind saving $500...

Most investments will perform better than that within months, let alone over a proper longer term. I would suggest investing the cash and taking the loan if your rate is < 5% or so, which most are. You don't even need to be super strategic with it.

Sadly, yes. This is actually due to the HEPA filter and not the front motor (or at least some combination of the two), as you can see in this video. They probably wanted to standardize the size for streamlining reasons as well. This is one of the only things that really bummed me out when...

I ordered the gray interior w/ a red exterior (silver 21" turbines) and I was having second thoughts about switching to a black interior until I saw these pictures. Thanks! The contrast is really attractive and reminded me that the all-black interior is just too sporty for what I'm going for.

I believe they started shipping last month, or even late April (?). Like the username...Key & Peele? :)

My order is in the production queue and I'd like ths upgrade w/ the rear holders, too. Should I ask the DS about it?

Aw, I wasn't ready to get all teary-eyed yet today. That was nearly two years ago, I wonder how the OP is doing now. I hope he's still well. Re: AWD vs. RWD: If you're like the OP, on the fence and where the payments may be quite high relative to income, I would honestly lose AWD first of the...

It would be nice to get some more color choices for those price points, to say the least.

Thanks. To answer your original question, yes, I'd likely pay for that if the solution was polished enough. I've been contemplating doing something similar on my own but I'd prefer a made solution.

Can you comment on the method by which you're mirroring the display? Adding hardware behind the main display or software only? I imagine you can mirror the phone "simply" by adding some hardware to the display to enable switching but mirroring touch functionality would be another story. I'm...

FWIW, I was informed by the store manager in Charlotte last week that they're unable to remove the front plate for deliveries.

You would need to use something like this in order to view the traffic from your iPhone. Note that Apple has really stepped up certificate checking so this may not even work anymore as of iOS 9. I believe apps are now allowed to have some kind of whitelist of acceptable certificates (certificate...

That is not the URL used to login. The base URL has been replaced by https://owner-api.teslamotors.com and the login URL is now POST https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/oauth/token with the following form URL-encoded body parameters: grant_type ('password') client_id client_secret email password...

That's a Unix timestamp. How you parse it depends on the language. The only thing that could trip you up when working with it is that this particular Unix timestamp is in seconds, and some date libraries expect milliseconds, so you would need to multiple it by 1,000. If you pop open your...

Thanks for the info. I didn't receive a reply from them (yet) but they went ahead and made the change to my order, so I guess that's that.

I placed my order yesterday! Pretty exciting, I gotta say. However, I'll be delaying delivery until the beginning of September since I'm out of the country for awhile (living in Korea currently and moving home) and then out of my home state for awhile as well. Regarding that: I placed my order...

Are these consoles now standard in MS?

Just for those curious, I received this from Alliant earlier last week regarding 72 month terms: I don't know if the same rates apply to CPOs. These do not seem to be promotional rates as they've been around for months now. I believe they jump one percentage point for 84 month terms. Just from...

That is quite high. I was just e-mailing them a few days ago and scores in that range net a rate of 6.49%...I've not heard of anyone financing a Tesla at that high of a rate.
