    Run Flat Tires for Model 3 - solution for lack of spare tire

    Yes. I put Driveguards on my Leaf since it was the carpool taxi and didn’t want to get stuck with three kids on the side of the road. Loss of range was noticeable- stabilized to about 5% lower after a few thousands miles. They are tough tires and rode more rough compared to a coworkers Leaf...

    Tesla Software 2019.16.2

    We ignored the 16.1 (or was it 16.2?) update message last Thursday since we were going out of town. Update message has now disappeared. - Model 3 LR on 12.1.2 East coast

    Phone as Key Issues

    FYI, 2019.12.1.1 completely disabled our configured phone keys. Tech support pushed down 2019.12.1.2 and viola they are working again. I didn't realize how much we had gotten used to this feature in the few weeks we've had the car.

    Aero wheels without wheel caps, without lug nut caps and center cap

    Like the exposed log nut look, but not the gaping center whole. Bought an eBay wheel cap kit that didn't fit until a quick modification and tapping into place with a rubber mallet: Again, this were the right inner/outer diameter, but too shallow (and not very flexible) so I pulled off half the...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Update: Tesla delivered the car to our door Monday March 25th. Car looks perfect except for a small paint booger on the front trunk lip. Not noticeable when closed. Delivery took maybe 30 min. Delivered out of Raleigh office. So far so good! Build date is 3/19 so happy about that I guess...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Ordered LR RWD black on black with hubcaps late on 17MAR2019. Just got the text that it will be delivered to the house 25MAR2019. VIN is 2019. So a week isn't bad. No upsell offers for AWD or paint or wheels. Was kinda hoping for a lightly discounted paint upgrade, but I guess black it is...

    New June invites coming “in the next few days”

    I’m with you - pano Glass roof sounds like torture. I’m actually looking for a used Model S with a solid roof. The Pano roof in the 2014 I rented seemed to sacrifice at least an inch of headroom near the top of the A pillar. I’m long torso’d and like to drive close to the steering wheel so I...

    Have we all been played by Tesla?

    The form explicits states that credit cards are not available as a refund payment. Debit card (checking account) or bank account options are available.

    Have we all been played by Tesla?

    I was a day one reservation holder and just asked for a refund. After the floodgates opened I’m not sure why I need one anymore. I’ll let the dust settle and actually option the car how I want it. Or get a used Model S/X. (Slumming in a used Leaf I bought the day I reserved. 25k miles...

    New June invites coming “in the next few days”

    I had this same thought: If everyone is allowed to order and order date/time ($2500 deposit) is the new queue, why even keep my day 1 reservation? Will it help me in the queue for a standard range?

    2013 Model-S P85 for sale in Washington, DC area

    Yes, sorry, didn’t mean to insinuate this TMC post was fabricated, just the Craigslist one. This is a good price for what looks like a good car.

    2013 Model-S P85 for sale in Washington, DC area

    FYI. This car it its photos have been hijacked for a Raleigh Craigslist ad. Or is this also the original poster? This doesn’t pass the smell test. California plates? Moving out of the country? Reasonable but low price? Shows up in multiple locations? Tesla Model-S Performance P85 2013 Tesla...

    Supercharger - Hickory, NC

    Thanks to this great forum it was brought to my attention that the reinforcement can be added to any S (except a dozen 2012 VINs) in about an hour. We are off topic! Still probably going with a Model 3. Still excited about a supercharger in Hickory for topping of for trips to Asheville!

    Supercharger - Hickory, NC

    Obviously I’m talking about the rear facing seat option of the S. Which can also be added to 99% of Models Ss sold. Lots of threads on this. X is still too pricey to consider used right now.

    Supercharger - Hickory, NC

    Great news! This might convince me to wait for the Model 3 Short Range as it will enable us to get to Asheville from Durham year-round. Also might might broaden the Plan B to include used Model Ss with the 70 or 60 kWh batteries. (Model S plan is really only in case we need the third row for...

    Non Owner - Just Placed my Order

    So in anticipation of my invite later this year, what if I don’t configure after it opens up? Does the configuration stay open indefinitely? Is that he your place in line is “saved”? Just jump in and order some time in the next year and your order is thrown on the current production queue?

    Gauging interest in my CPO 2014 Model S 60 in Durham, NC

    Thanks I think that’s all the range info I need. I’ve been driving a Leaf for a couple years and have become hypersensitive to battery degradation. I’m down to 17.9kWh! I’ve been limiting my search to 85s since I’d like to get up to Asheville in the winter without going through Charlotte, but...

    Gauging interest in my CPO 2014 Model S 60 in Durham, NC

    Car looks great. How many miles on a range charge? Have you researched the required parts for adding the rear facing seats? I understand there could or could not be bumper reinforcements installed at the factory. I’d be driving over with a check if your car had the third row! (I’m local)
