    Master Thread: Definitive 14-50 NEMA Outlet Guide

    Looks like they have corrected it now, and it says 14-50 instead of 14-30. Also, not sure if anyone has posted it yet, but here is the wall plate that fits: https://www.grainger.com/product/HUBBELL-Single-Receptacle-Wall-Plate-3D445

    Trade-In Estimate

    Not sure if they do it up in CAN, but you can check with a CARMAX or something similar and get a quote for trade in and Tesla will match it!

    Rain not beading on windshield

    Well, usually you will get dust and dirt on the car. When you turn on the wipers, that dirt/dust will act as sandpaper and rub off whatever protective coating was on there!

    Leaving car in garage.

    Yep, you will need to remember the ABC's of owning an electric car: Always Be Charging You will want to charge it daily to about 80% for a happy Tesla! If you are ever going on a big trip, then you can charge to 100%!

    Valet mode - tinting

    I am sure most people don't have a regular relationship with a tint shop. Most of the new cars, the dealership installs tint, so most of the time people won't have to get their car tinted! It has been well over 15+ years since I had to go to a tint shop, but I know I will when I get my Model 3!

    Any way to recover Dashcam footage after parking?

    Yeah, looks like until they fix it, you will want to check to make sure it is recording everytime you get in the car! What are you using for storage? USB flash drive, hard drive Micro SD card?

    My 2018 LR RWD M3 needs new tires and service - Keep it or Trade?

    With used car prices doing pretty well, especially on a Tesla Model 3, you might just check in to trading it! See what you can get for yours to see if it will be worth it!

    Traded in my Model 3 Performance

    I have had a 2014 Dodge Charger R/T and a 2017 Dodge Charger R/T (just turned lease in) and planning on going to a Tesla Model 3! I drive a alot for work, so unfortunately looking for something more fuel efficient! LOL, I have a heavy foot and averaged about 15 mpg in the city!

    USB for dashcam exFAT vs FAT

    On top of this, you would want to be looking for an "endurance" or "high endurance" micro SD card!

    Do I have a heat pump?

    It sounds like it is possible the heat pump may be coming to the Model 3: Tesla updates Model 3 frunk, makes it a bit smaller — but why? - Electrek

    Teslacam - SSD Feature

    Yeah, recommendations are for: (1) SSD drive (Name brand) (2) SD Card (Endurance or High Endurance) A USB drive is not recommended as it has the possibility to fail with all of the reads/writes

    Do I wait for "Battery Day" to order Model 3?Or are we not expecting major changes post battery day?

    Since battery day is toward the end of the quarter, I would assume that they would have already sold most of the cars for the quarter push and should be able to start the new quarter with whatever modifications they are making!

    D/FW Sales info needed!

    Thanks for the update! So, it looks like I will turn in my lease in a couple of days, then not get another car since we are all working from home for a bit, but hopefully after the first of the year have the money saved up from my car payment and insurance savings on the car I am turning in!

    Got screwed by Tesla's terrible customer service again

    Sorry to hear that, as this is unacceptable for them! You should push to get some compensation, such as free supercharging miles or a free shirt/jacket or something!

    When Should I Order

    The current quarter started this month and should end in September! They have usually had an end of quarter push and you get "extra" benefits, usually in just extra supercharging miles!

    D/FW Sales info needed!

    So, I am in the D/FW area (Arlington) and my lease is up on my ICE vehicle (2017 Dodge Charger R/T) this month (July) and I have already made my last payment! I want to get a Tesla as my next vehicle, but had a couple of questions in regards to sales here in Texas! I know they have galleries in...

    Question regarding Private sale

    You might can, but would have to get them registered to that car! Do not put them on the car until they are registered for that car. If you get pulled over, it may not be fun!

    Would you pay $2000 to go from 4.4 to 3.9 on a Leased car?

    It is a lease and you have no opportunity to buy that vehicle at the end.

    Trade-In Values Plummet

    Not sure if you have heard, but all manufacturers are having issues selling cars, that is why you see things such as: 0% financing up to 84 months Up to 3 months without payments! Obviously Tesla doesn't have that issue, as they have less supply than demand at this point! Luckily, I am...

    Trading in a Tesla for a Tesla?

    Not sure if it has ever happened, but makes you wonder that if there is still a high inventory of new 2019 and 2020 vehicles still on dealership lots, if they will even make 2021 cars. Luckily with Tesla, they can keep making cars to keep with demand or lack of demand!

    Model 3 inventories up -- any deals happening?

    As we know, Tesla is not like any other car company and doesn't follow the typical model! Yes, all other car companies are giving crazy deals as there are alot of inventory and nobody is buying. Tesla has been know to offer some deals at the end of the quarter! Tesla does not have to offer...

    Just ordered - Seen same specs in existing inventory - What next?

    I agree! This would be the first thing I would have done, especially if you wanted a car sooner, rather than later!

    Model 3 USB-C ports in rear lights

    Yeah, could be foreign spec, although that is NOT a good idea as you would have cables hanging from the ceiling!

    Model 3 crash with police cruiser, who's at fault?

    Unfortunately, there is not enough info! We would need to know if the police vehicle was running code (lights and siren)! If he was, the obviously the Tesla is at fault! It would also help to know what color the signal lights were at the time!

    “More Valuable” Stealth Performance Model 3 Unicorn

    Exactly! That would be my choice in a heartbeat as well, the Stealth over performance, especially for the price difference! BTW, I am here in Irving as well!

    What kind of changes or improvements do you hope...

    I am surprised no one has mentioned it yet, unless I missed it, but I would love for them to get rid of the wood grain/silver metal look on the dash.

    Delivery Day - Tags

    From what I have read on here, when you pick up your car, you should have a temp tag with it, which I think is good for 30 days. On the other side will be one for another thirty days. For your current license plates from your Jeep, I don't think you can put it on the tesla until it is...

    Juicebox Charging

    I agree! The car will set the pace on how much electricity it will need! Not really a more efficient way to get it in there! Just like with gas on an ICE car!

    What type of plug is this? Best Tesla UMC adapter solution?

    You are getting your connectors mixed up! There are two sides to an EVSE: (1) The connector that plugs into the car (2) the connector that plugs into an electrical outlet! The one that goes in to the car will be the standard Tesla connector, or on other cars, it will be the J1772! The one...

    Getting ready .... need some outdoor charging suggestions

    You can either: (1) Install a dedicated Tesla EVSE, and then get a J1772 adapter for the friends/family that may stop by that need a charge (2) Install a J1772 EVSE and get a Tesla adapter for it!

    Need help deciding between Performance and Long Range Model 3?

    Same here! If money was no object, I would love to order a Performance model! If it ever becomes a permanent option, I would go for the P3D- (stealth performance with 18" wheels)

    Sentry Mode USB flash drive failure costing me thousands

    Anyone in Dallas Irving area can help?

    Just curious what you decided on this! Unfortunately, the miles are high, almost double what average (12k miles/year). Luckily this is an electric vehicle, so will wear differently than a normal ICE vehicle!

    Can someone sell me on the black interior!?

    I have never had a car with a white interior, but would get a Model 3 with one! The only concern would be keeping it clean, so that would be my only "hangup" I hear a lot of reports that the interior looks bigger with the white than with the black interior!
