    Passenger side door dent repair cost

    My car got hit when I was staying at a resort one night by a hit and run driver in the parking lot. Thankfully sentry caught it and was able to id the car by the front license tag. My damage was far less than yours, but over $3K later it was fixed. Here's a closeup of the rear wheel well...

    When will Metallic Silver be available again?

    In April 2019 I went M3 shopping, primarily to see what the colors looked like in person. I agree the Midnight Silver looked like just a bland gray car to me. It was a cloudy day, so that didn't help it. Had decided the M3 LR was going to be fine, but when the salesman pulled up inventory...

    PSA: the world does not revolve around YOU

    I, for one, don't mind it at all. Gives me something to view instead of another show or press conference that makes me feel worse than before. We will get past this, and I'm glad they enjoy their car as much as enjoy my Model 3.

    Map on MCU display

    Did you select the Traffic option on the map itself. Lower right hand area of the map shows the options such as Satellite, Traffic and Chargers.

    Supercharger - Gustine, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Stopped here coming back north from SoCal around 1pm yesterday. Three stalls were blocked by cones and the rest(9) were full. Fortunately the wait was only 5-10mins and I was able to get normal charge rates when I got a chance. Hope they either enlarge this location or add another in the...

    Doug DeMuro Car of the Year

    Maybe this is his way to try and win back the Tesla fans who ripped him big time after his Cybertruck videos. Hmm?? ;)

    Early tesla buyers should be given a refund or free upgrades!

    May I suggest only buying used cars, from any and all brands. Btw...welcome to TMC. Sorry it took you so long to find us here. Enjoy the ride!

    Should Tesla be worried about the Taycan?

    They shouldn't worry, and they aren't. The more the merrier. Tesla's plan was to help start the conversion from all gas powered cars and this competition will only help the cause. Tesla is probably more worried about getting more and more people into EVs period, whatever the company makes it.

    My used Tesla buying experience

    I bet your situation is a lot more common than those that had negative experiences, but most of the positive sale owners are too busy enjoying their "new" cars to post their stories as you have done. Thanks for showing there are good sales, and of course, some bad ones too. Congrats on your...

    Vegas to Mammoth Lakes

    If you have never driven thru Death Valley I would choose that route. I did the reverse route from Mammoth to Vegas and I am glad I chose the DV route. Amazing scenery and a nice conversation starter when you tell your friends about the adventure.

    What’s the one thing you like the least about your Model 3?

    After a couple of months and 5K miles, the only thing I don't like is the view out of the rear view mirror. Just wish it gave me a larger, more accurate view. Side mirrors are ok, but not as good of a view of my old P85.

    50 miles

    Mine had 52, but the last 20 were delivering it to me. That said, a lot depends on where they may have to store the cars pending delivery. I know here in NorCal the Rocklin center has to store many of their cars offsite, so some miles may come from storage movement. I would ask why on yours...

    AAA membership?

    I asked this same question here a few years ago and decided after the feedback, that for less than $10/month, plus the several AAA discounts, the added peace of mind was worth it. If the price increases later, we'll make that decision then

    Missing equipment upon delivery of M3

    Same with me. Missing J1772 when delivered, but the delivery team brought me one that evening. Maybe trying to slip one past the goalies to save a little $$??

    Leasing questions

    When I leased my Volt before buying my first Tesla, the dealer kept the Fed rebate, but in CA I was able to claim and receive the state rebate myself. Probably state specific though.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Though mine had the badging at delivery, a mobile tech had to come out this week to try and fit a spoiler onto my silver P3D. He had six brand new spoilers and only one was a close enough fit that we both thought it was worth a shot. He says the issue all along with the first batch, and the...

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    DAErik needs to do this and show us just how "easy" it is. They'll rip into everything on their cars!

    I love the Model 3, just don't love any color options...

    Mine was built in March 2019, so it was probably special ordered just before the Feb stop. I need to buy a lottery ticket before my current streak of good luck runs out! :D

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    Do what I did, call and ask. I didn't expect to get one so soon either, but maybe it was just good timing.

    I love the Model 3, just don't love any color options...

    When I went in to our SC to decide if I wanted to change from my Model S to a Model 3 a couple of weeks ago, I too was not thrilled with the color choices. But when my SA was looking for a car for me, a Silver Metallic P3D popped up from his inventory listing. Apparently someone did a special...

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    Last Friday, about a week after my delivery, I called to ask if I was on a list or did I have to schedule delivery of my spoiler. They checked and said a shipment of new spoilers had just arrived at the Rocklin SC and they would transfer me to mobile services to have someone stop by and...

    Home Delivery or at Tesla?

    Mine was at home, but since I'm also a MS owner, they may have thought that was better for me. SC is only 22 miles away, but I liked having no other customers around and having the complete attention of the DA. Found one minor paint issue and a missing adapter, but someone bought the adapter...

    How do I tell if I have 1000 mile free Supercharging?

    I guess I'll have to bug them about mine because I don't see my miles, but i do see the $10.23 charge for when they partially charged it up at the SC before delivery to my house, 20 miles away. Thanks a lot! :(

    2012 Signature Red P85 - only 46k miles - Extended warranty - $38,500

    This P85 was my first Tesla and I’m still wondering if I should sell her at all. But I really love my new P3D as well and I just can’t keep them both. A great TMC member, or Carmax, Carvana etc will now call “Reddy kW” their own. It’s a 2012 Signature Red P85 Model S, VIN #272, with 46,000...

    Recommended tire pressure too high

    Cold. I didn't check them until about 5 hrs after delivery and initial drive, when I finally had a chance to go thru all of the screens and learn my way around a bit. My Signature S has no real time readings.

    Recommended tire pressure too high

    My P3D was just delivered to me Saturday and the tires were all 4-5 lbs over the recommended 42lbs. I dropped them back to 42 for now and will decide if I'll go any lower.

    What defects have you found at/after delivery?

    One minor paint issue on my P3D March build received yesterday, plus missing the J1772 adapter. So far that is all I've found.

    Performance Waiting Room

    I agree, although I was worried the car was refused for quality issues. I did look the car over as closely as I could, and found one small paint issue, but knowing the challenge of getting one of these, I'll find a way to ignore it for today.

    Performance Waiting Room

    After reading your stories of patient waiting, I almost feel guilty telling my story. Just 10 days ago I stopped by the Rocklin SC here in NorCal somewhat seriously looking for a Model 3, probably a LR AWD, but really just wanted to do a test drive to confirm whether selling my P85 Signature S...

    Need New Tires - 21" - What's Best?

    Just switched from Conti to Falkens last month, so I have to say my comments are not going to cover their tread life, but I'm sure they will last as long, if not quite a bit longer than my Continentals. I was worried to change from the foamed Continentals, but have been very pleased with the...

    Four OEM 21” Model S Silver Turbine wheels – $500!!

    $500 for four silver 21x8.5 Model S gen 1 turbine wheels! There must be a catch. Yes there is. All wheels are straight, but each has some rash and one has a small repairable crack. A wheel restorer says the rash and crack can all be repaired for around $600 total. These would also work as...

    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    I'm getting ready to do a 5000 mile road trip this summer and as much as I am excited about the trip, I am wondering if I will grow tired of the slow charging. In fact today I actually went thru the online configurator for the first time in 3 yrs. I think our battery's cooling system is too...

    WTB: 21x8.5 Silver Turbine wheel(s)

    I asked for the price of one "wheel", so I assume no tire etc. But to be honest when he said the price, I just started laughing and he said he completely understood my reaction. :eek:

    WTB: 21x8.5 Silver Turbine wheel(s)

    I have the same concerns with ebay. For chuckles I did ask Tesla what one new wheel would cost. Better sit down for this.... $1100. Lol
