    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Took delivery of this Pearl White MS Plaid on 12/28/23, just in time to transfer my FUSC from my old 2016 MS. It stayed in my garage for a couple of days before going to the Always Clean Cars (Always Clean Detailing Services | Auto ‎Detailing NJ) to do the Stek Color PPF in British Racing...

    I guess 2023 was the year they started taking off the T logo on the trunk lid and using the trunk appliqué with the silver TESLA wording on it.

    Newest update completely bricked AP/FSD

    Just an update on this…my MX is miraculously fixed. All FSD graphics and functionality working again. 2023.44.30.6 was successfully downloaded and installed after the car miraculously started connecting again to WiFi from out of the blue. Now everything is working again. Hope everyone...

    Newest update completely bricked AP/FSD

    2019 pre-raven MX also no AP/FSD. Was always set to automatically update, so not entirely sure when it exactly happened. Primarily my wife's car, but when I drove it this weekend, I noticed all the symptoms pointed above. One other thing, my wifi is not connecting. It shows there's an...

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    @PhillyGal - not sure they’ll give you free supercharging on a 3 nor let you transfer your FUSC from your first MS. But I’m sure you know that if you buy any new Tesla, you get 10,000 rewards points which you can trade for 6 months of SC or other stuff.

    Expired Refresh Model S - trade Walnut for my CF [Expired]

    Thanks for the interest, I think the logistics may be a bit much since you’re in CA and I’m in NY. The console and the dash are the most involved. The door strips literally just pop out. There’s a video on YouTube from Daerik, I believe they post on this forum too. I’ll post the link when I...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Oh yeah I'm doing it - :) Had some issue with the reservation. Apple Pay used for the $250 reservation had my other email address that didn't match my Tesla account email. I couldn't proceed with that since I wanted to transfer my FUSC from my 2016 to the Plaid. It took a few days but they...

    Hoping to pickup a Plaid at Mt. Kisco this weekend. Put the deposit down on an existing inventory White on White plaid with 19"sThe transfer of FUSC also did it for me. I've been tempted several times, but I think it's time to jump out of my good old and trusty MS 60D and treat myself with the...

    Model S Photo Gallery

    This is probably the best post I've read in a while. I think you hit it head on with your car selection philosophy! Others just won't or refuse to get this simple thing. Other than that, I will out-do the unspeakable things that @terranx would do to own that Sport Classic. That Heritage...

    Swap CF interior for your Walnut

    Hey guys, I'm sure this has been done before. I have an incoming Model S Plaid with the default CF interior trim. I'm one of those weird ones that prefer the Walnut over the CF and it sucks that the walnut is not an available option for the Plaid. That said, anyone with a Walnut that wishes...

    60 Amp circuit HPWC gen 3 only charging at 32Amps

    First, let me disclaim that I am not very knowledgeable with electrical stuff. I bought a Gen3 HPWC for my garage from a forum member. I hired a licensed electrician to install it. My main panel (200amp service) is about 40 feet from my garage, so he ran it using a 6awg cable and a 60Amp...

    Anyone used the Level II Chargepoint at LaGuardia, Terminal B?

    As the title says, anyone here used the Chargepoint chargers that are apparently in LGA Terminal B, level III parking lot? Planning on driving my MX and leaving it there for 5 days. According to LGA's website, they are free to use, however, parking charges apply. I can't seem to find out if...

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    Yes and no, I took out a HE when we did it, so the loan will just get paid off with the sale of the house. Fortunately, I lucked out and got in right before the price increases early this year.

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    Good thoughts and suggestions. Thanks! The offer was unsolicited and let’s just say, it was more than enough to make us consider it, hence my dilemma. We have a few options for the next residence, but we have to time it properly so we can just slide in to the next one. And you can bet that I’d...

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    Hey guys, I have an update and a bit of a dilemma. I noticed last post on this thread was from May (4 months ago). They completed all the installation and I have been using the system sporadically. The only problem is, I don’t have a PTO yet. About a month ago, I saw a correspondence from my...

    Considering a Model 3 in NJ

    I've driven the entire length of NJT on AP with NOA several times now and my experiences are more in line with @dmurphy. One of those times I had zero interventions. Early on I've had a few experience where it was slowing down when there's an overpass or bridge casting a shadow on the road...

    Blog Former Tesla Exec Guillen Sells $274M in Stock

    I agree with what's been said so far. All good points. Especially the part where TSLA has already seen the massive increases and had levelled off. Sure, there will be peaks and valleys and it will still slowly rise over the long term, but it won't be as exponential as the $17 per share it IPO'd...

    I need to vent. I want to love this car, but I can't anymore.

    Sorry to hear about your issues. Perhaps you can post a pic of this mis-stamped door? I agree on the messaging portion of the app. It's the best way to reach them. Good luck!

    Subpar Sales and ordering process

    That's a shame if the process is indeed this discombobulated. Our MX was the last car that we bought from Tesla in 2019 and the process couldn't have been any simpler, We actually used the MCU on my MS to place the order. The MS back in 2016 was also a very pleasant experience and seamless...

    good weekend sport car that complement well with model 3 owners

    I agree. My weekend car is a 6 spd manual, Cooper S convertible - sidewalk edition. Despite being way slower than our MS & MX, nothing beats rowing your own gears with the top down on a nice sunny day. And the way the Mini corners... hmmm 😍

    Best Practices for Vehicle Charging with Solar + Powerwall

    Great suggestions and practices guys! My wife and I have long commutes so it's important that we charge to 80% on a daily basis. I have about 80-100 miles of daily commute on my 60D MS (yes, 60kWh). I always charge that to 100% since it's technically a 75kWh, software reduced to 60. 5 years...

    Best Practices for Vehicle Charging with Solar + Powerwall

    Tesla made me complete forms for the incentives. Obviously, saving money is always preferred, but not a big fan of penny-wise dollar foolish. I think my ideal scenario is charge the car(s) at off-peak rates and not draw from the batteries as I'd much rather use those to power everything...

    Chances that Tesla will offer acceleration boost on new S/X?

    As you implied, they “technically” can. The $2,000 question is, would they? That’s anyone’s guess.

    Quiet Tires

    I highly recommend Michelin CrossClimates. I just put them on my MX. A little over $1k from Tire Rack. The difference is significant. Much quieter than my stock Conti’s.

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    Hey guys, is there such a thing as a “hand-off” when you guys did your project? Meaning, do they walk through and make sure you’re satisfied before they get paid? I’m afraid my project may have taken a turn for the worse. They still have a few loose ends to do, when they left last Wednesday, I...

    Considering a Model 3 in NJ

    When we drove cross country on our Model X 2 years ago, we got caught on a torrential downpour somewhere in Arkansas and the wipers couldn't keep up with the rain. I was impressed that AP3 w/NoA, as it seems to have a better view of the road than I did. It was showing cars on the dashboard that...

    Solar Glass V3 + 2 PW ordered May 2, 2020

    So I just got home and wife and I started observing the roof install. We noticed on the overhang above our garage that it looks wavy. I think it’s the metal trim piece but we also think some of the tiles are not seated plush. Do you guys have something like this on your installs? Also...

    Model Y lease vs buy evaluation

    I think if you come anywhere close to the mileage cap with your current non-ev car, leasing is not a good option. If this is your first EV, I can tell with first hand experience that you will be driving more and the overage cost can quickly turn this into a dumb financial decision. Someone...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    The Tesla roof crew are literally on the final day of our Solar Glass install today as I type this. This is their third week. It took one week for the tear down crew and another week (last week) for the Solar Glass install. Unfortunately, we had a couple of bad weather days last week that's...

    Does solar make sense in Texas?

    Another option is to just get a credit for a new roof from the sellers and put it towards your solar roof. Since you already have Solar Roof in your CA Home, you know the benefits first hand. ;)
