This is partial in part to that they might have had existing infrastructure there "Chargepoint". Having owned a chargepoint station myself, the yearly "licensing and maintenance" fees on those stations far exceed any cost of what power would ever be. Tesla gives away their own stations to...

Sounds like a nail in the tire.

Probably less coding, and more the delivery over cellular. CRC checksums get borked.

If this were true, they'd be sued into next year by anyone that purchased an LR version, because a L(arger)LR version would just turn people off if it were released that fast.

I believe they are the same stock pedals used in the X and S. They are the same size. You can just swap the performance pedals to the Model 3.

Mine came with it, only a small bubble towards the right bottom, I consider it a nice fitted screen protector otherwise.

Mine are that way too. Probably by design. Somehow

Go with your stock ones and then get the 21's off ebay for less than 1/2 the price? That always works too 21" Tesla Model S 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Factory OEM wheels rims Gray finish | eBay

Damn I hope so. Its driving me nuts!

I've left my garage door open twice now.. with about 40k of bikes + power tools ready for the taking, because the close button fires twice, and it closes the door just far enough that my auto closer timer doesn't actuate. Driving me bonkers!

At that rate, you'd be better served buying someone's model 3 from them when they inevitably have spares to sell. I myself am on the fence of keeping the 3 after I get it delivered. One because I have a 2nd vehicle already that works just fine, but we want to drive it around at least 1k miles...

Tesla subsidzes the Model S and X considerably with their partner banks. They can chalk up the losses as expenses at the end of the year vs directly discounting vehicles. Model 3 will have zero subsidies so will have the prevailing market rate for new vehicles which currently hovers around 2.5%

The way I see it is Tesla is shifting all of the greedy people that ordered two so they could make a quick buck on the first one. There were way too many ordering 2+ units on the first day with the intention on flipping one of the cars. I noticed that they upped the priority of people who...

You knowingly purchased a car that has unfinished AP beta software... Even my AP1 vehicle states its still in "BETA", which in software terms, means unfinished. If you want something "finished", get a BMW 750i with "lane assist", which really pales in comparison to Tesla's offerings. 3...

No, they'd be ordering me a whole new car if they delivered to me like that.

Back in the olden days before Teslas, we called that the plugshare app.

Holy *sugar*, people in LA are cheap asses. Or live in multi unit dwellings and need SC stations. Glad they are moving to paid to free up the opportunists from those in need.

Would be nice if they put sensors in the SC stations to see if they are ICEd or EVholed too so they can automatically dispatch tow trucks to the SC stations.

No! Mine ran $350 for all windows except front windshield 35% Suntek Carbon XP. But then I was also piggybacking on a paint protection package, so the labor was pretty much wrapped into one job since they could do the other while waiting for one to dry. Also, the pano roof is already factory...

I've noted the same experience with my Kia SoulEV+ and Teslas. The Kia heat pump gets very hot very fast, within 5 sec usually of starting the car. The Tesla is.. meh at best, unless you mash the pedal after a stoplight, it seems to put out some additional heat.

I wonder if this is the new build that fixes the boot problem in subzero temperature. Doesn't seem like its 8.1 yet

Well, the Tigard SC is very very small in comparison to others I've seen. If the new one is by the river I'd be guessing its on the east side or NW somewhere?

I'm the network engineer for my office. Our corporate network shows how much any particular person uploads/downloads and keeps it in logs. Since I know the MAC address of my car, I can easily find it. Some higher end home routers also have this function. At home, I use a pretty run of the...

I've been at work all day and hooked my car to the guest wifi this morning. I'm not exactly sure how large the update is, but the car keeps downloading about 1.2 - 1.6gb then disconnects for a little while, and starts again. I don't know if its downloading seperate packages or if its just...

I welcome that! I just made an appointment last week. They can't see me until late January. Plenty of cheap rent office parks with rollup doors in Hillsboro. I could point them to at least 10 vacant buildings that would make good service centers. 480V already ran for superchargers too.

The dealer can request the tags before the plates. My Rav4EV came with stickers from the outset.

You may not be, but you sure sound like one.

The AP1 rain sensor is no worse or better than every other car I've ever had with wiper sensors. I do feel the 2 position sensitivity a little bit backward though. That takes it back to the first car I had with rain sensors, a 2001 BMW 7 series. The last car with rain sensors had 6-8...

Hijacking an old thread here. But due to unprecedented winter weather in the Pacific Northwest, I just ordered a set of these in alternative to getting the $400 chains. I rarely see snow, and these are purrrfect. And for $96, pretty much hassle free, its a no brainer.

I was just on a small weekend roadtrip to Seaside, OR this past weekend. The supercharger there is at a small outlet mall in front of an Eddie Bauer store. There were 8 of the new pull through style stalls, it was empty when I arrived, but after 15-20 minutes, 6 more Model S' arrived. Everyone...

WOW! Thanks! I got my unicorn car because of your site, all the other P90DL's were sold off except for this one listed on your site, and it was right next to me. It works beautifully, great work!

I wonder if its likely that there was a flaw exposed and they are having engineers study the pack. Why they can't give you a rebuilt pack is kind of weird though. Do you have a lemon law in your state? 4 mos would far exceed the repair time for many lemon laws to apply to new vehicles under...

Just have her take the test on an old late 80's stickshift BMW. That should be the baseline for anyone getting a license IMO. You don't get "automatic" cars in any shape or form when traveling to other places in the world.

Lease specials can be had. This was my inventory car at the end of Q3. When they ran the final lease numbers, it came out to $780/mo with 10k down for a 24mo 10k mi/yr lease. I drive more than that, so opted to purchase. The total lease cost was still 1196 though if you factored in the 10k...

Is it my turn to nag about this nagging about nagging? I've not really ever been nagged unless I was trying to make it do so. It's more frequent on side roads than interstates, and seemingly in construction zones too. I've noticed it does nag less if you set your speed assist offset in the...

Likewise, I have the same hitch receiver with the 1 1/4" receiver. It's rated at 200lb tongue weight. I use it for a bike rack or snowboard rack most of the time, but also intended it to tow a pair of 800lb/ea 3 person Sea Doo GTX's on a 17ft, 2 axle trailer. It's pushing the manufacturer...

And people wonder why most of the rust belt is unemployed. Got some dull tools in that there toolbox.

True, have you seen the cost of a new Nautique? They "start" at $75k and go upwards to $200k. And every other idiot on the block has one to go with their huge $65k diesel truck that they need to pull it, yet they all scold me for getting a $138k car that only set me back $92k out of pocket.

Yes, pre refresh, and its the 1 1/4" I only need it for bike rack and a single 3 seater Sea-Doo, which even my old Yamaha golf cart could tow with no problem.

This is selectible too, I usually go to Low, but I think the default is medium, and long range is also a select-able option. All depends on your personal level of perception and driving skill. If you know you get distracted a lot, go for long. The manual does state that low only slows you...

I've heard that the MS is 15mph in reverse software limited, the Leaf is 20mph, but can be overridden. So I guess its faster in reverse.

I just took my car to Torklift this past weekend and had a great, professional experience with it all. You do, in fact have to cut into the shiny part of the bumper. Already used it with my bike rack yesterday and it works amazingly well, aside from reversing, and hearing the constant beep...

Highline Customs in Beaverton

Gearhead's eyes get wide when I say I have 762HP. Then of course, they always want to race, and lose.

LOL, yet there are so many people who drive with them on as if they are oblivious as to what they are.

Really? Because Rain-X enhanced the chattering problem for me. Bosch ICONs fixed the problem though.

35% is the state limit for front windows. It really isn't that dark from the inside, but it keeps people from staring at you and makes the car look more proportional.

I don't know about the other guy up the thread getting ripped off because he said a Model S. But I took mine to get Xpel for the first 24" of the hood, bumpers, fenders, mirrors, door jambs and trunk deck. And suntek carbon 35% all around tint job, and it was only $945 at my local shop, which...

I just say it has Plaid mode

Does your art dept still have the stencils for doing this? I'd love to get mine done like this.
