    Would Anyone Like to Swap Black Seats for White in LA?

    I would do this in a heartbeat. In LA. Wish I had white. Caveat- I have gen1 interior. The seats are different. Some people prefer gen1, others gen2. Would throw in $500 to make it worth your while.

    No mirror fold on first summon

    Have the same issue on my Model S summoning with key fob. The mirrors fold out before starting summon. My wife didn't notice the change in behavior/bug and popped our mirror backwards and scratched it up pretty good yesterday. Very frustrating :(

    View Dash Cam\Sentry videos without USB removal

    I don’t have a specific product recommendation but I know some people use WiFi enabled USB drives or SD cards with a USB adapter and then access the files over WiFi when they pull into their home garage. Others use a raspberry pi with a sd card to essentially make a fancy version of this which...

    Good deal on Model SP100D(L), FSD, Sunroof, Only 50 miles - $83.4K

    Is that an option on inventory cars? Can you lower the price by changing wheels and software options?!

    Potential Buyer looking for insight

    Tesla will take non Tesla trade ins, yes. If you get a quote from them and carmax, they will match carmax if they give you a higher quote. If you’re buying a Tesla from a dealer, it’s not “new” and this not eligible for tax credits. If you buy new or new inventory from Tesla, you can get a tax...

    Model 3 Performance ULTRA White Interior (complete)

    I’m looking for two front black gen2 seats if whoever buys them from you wants to get rid of their black interior. In LA also. Curious if whoever is taking the interior out for you would install for someone local as well? Tempting on the white upgrade!

    Upgrade Model 3 from Gen1 to Gen2 front seats?

    I'm looking at upgrading my Model 3 (early VIN) from Gen1 front seats to Gen2. I've found the Gen2 seats to be much more comfortable and I have chronic low back issues that get aggravated very easily with my Gen1 seats. I've attached a picture to show the difference - the Gen2 seats have more...

    What I have learned about the Tesla Dash Cam feature

    That is not correct. There should be lots of viewable video clips. Saving it just saves a clip from being overwritten. Mine has all the videos automatically saved

    Their hold times are awful right now AND they don’t have a “call back” when it’s your turn option. Horrible.

    For sale: 21” silver arachnid wheels for Model S (SoCal)

    I do. I have two offers at $2500 currently and am looking into details for those who have inquired (type of wheels on them, whether they can be installed non staggered, whether the SC will install them directly if not on MY car).

    Where to find Demo Cars preferably Model S

    The "demo" cars you speak of are called inventory cars. Historically Tesla allowed you to find these on their website here: Inventory | Tesla ...but there aren't any current inventory cars on their website and few nationwide have been found recently. If you go into a showroom and ask...

    Referral 21" Arachnid Wheels - colors

    Has anyone had luck getting the service center to offer a different color other than Silver in this period? Hoping to get lucky and get a different one if possible but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth if silver is the only option!

    Question for Owners of both S and 3

    In theory the AP2.0 hardware should get the same upgrades as the 2.5 hardware. Elon mentioned if 2.0 caused any limitations, they would upgrade you for free to the 2.5 hardware I believe. (or at least it was implied) AP1.0 definitely will not get as many software updates going forward. UI...

    Question for Owners of both S and 3

    Also keep in mind if you order a S it takes around 2 months to build it and have it delivered. So if you're looking at a few months from now to actually get the car, you'll want to order soon. And if you road trip a lot, the free supercharging ends after today so if you care about that, order...

    Question for Owners of both S and 3

    I would definitely use the S for a road trip over the 3. Much more comfortable ride and more spacious. Another big plus with the S is that it has summon (the 3 will eventually too). I can't fit my S in car and open the door as it's very tight, so I use summon to pull the car in/out and I...

    Question for Owners of both S and 3

    Well first off, I'm not TOO far from Riverside if you want to come check out my 3. (PM me for details if you are interested) I have an S and a 3 and can answer most of these things. The advantages of the S are: -More comfy ride - this is both the suspension and the width of the seats. It...

    AP1 vs AP 2.5

    I have one car of each (S with AP1 and 3 with AP 2.5) so I think I have a decent perspective here. Honestly I think they are very similar (at this point at least). I feel AP2.5 holds the lines stronger than AP1 and brakes/accelerates more smoothly with traffic than AP1. Where AP1 wins is that...

    AP or Performance Model - which would you chose if only one?

    AP is more important for sure (to me). Also remember you can add Autopilot later for a fee. So if you can afford one now, but will be able to afford the other later on, you could buy performance and upgrade to AP later!

    Model 3 seats with lower back problems - others having discomfort?

    I have a chronic bad lower back with pain. In my Model S, it's quite comfy for me and I can drive 1-2 hours without any significant pain. Since taking delivery of my Model 3 a week and a half ago, I've had significant back discomfort while driving the 3. I've tried to adjust the seat and...

    Any way to limit the opening of the rear hatch?

    Do you have a power liftgate? If so, you can set it to only open to a certain height as noted by jelloslug. If you have a manual lift gate, then you cannot limit this. I have padding on my garage door for this very reason as I have a manual lift gate.

    Good deal or bad time to buy?

    Looks like a solid deal. Honestly, now is a great time to buy as there is a lot of uncertainty about the EV tax credits with the Senate/House bills. If they pass the bill and the tax credits vanish, you'll have missed out on saving $7500! Waiting a few months may or may not lead you to a...

    Model S or Model X, need help!

    I would definitely recommen a Model S for you. Don't worry about the features you are missing out on. While the motorized door is "cool" it's not a game changing feature. Same for the panoramic Windshield. If you had a family, the X would be my choice but honestly you can't go wrong with the...

    Current Owners: If you had to buy again would you still get a Model S over a 3? Why? Confused buyer!

    I would definitely buy my S again. Haven't regretted it for a moment. My only regret is not getting a few more options (that are now standard of course). I passed on auto-lift gate and really wish I had it! If you're in no rush, wait for the 3. You'll probably get it in 3-5 months and it...

    Will Buy A Model S... But Think I'm Gonna Wait A Bit.

    I have baby brain (6 day old at home) so I definitely will cop to misunderstanding the post. :) Regardless, if you're cool missing out on the $7500 tax credit, then waiting is definitely a good option. I stand by what I said above that I don't think reliability is a major concern with the S...

    Will Buy A Model S... But Think I'm Gonna Wait A Bit.

    I agree with you in general - now is a good time to buy if you the tax credit does go away! By waiting you are taking a gamble - you are hoping that the car gets a refresh before the end of the year AND you have time to order and take delivery before the end of the year when/if the tax credit...

    Help getting off the fence

    Do you know if the car you test drove had AP2/AP2.5 hardware and not AP1? (I assume it did) If so, you should expect similar behavior in a new car. If anything, it would be BETTER than what you test drove because there have been updates since then. People are frustrated because Elon loves to...

    If the key fob and your phone were both truly locked inside the car, you just need someone else to download the app onto their phone. You can sign in on their device and unlock the car.

    Does this makes financial sense

    To add to that: Things that won't hold up over time: -Your estimation of gas costs (may go up or down significantly) -Cost of electricity (may go up or down as well). You also could get solar one day to make this "free". -Cost of replacing battery is a complete unknown -Value of car in 20...

    Does this makes financial sense

    Holy moly! You are quite the detail person. Honestly this is way over thinking it. You have no clue whether your assumptions will hold up over 20 years. Look at the per year cost for owning the car for 3-5 years and you can make an honest comparison. You also can't account for in the...

    CA hov white stickers exp 1/1/19
