Model 3 performance qualities for the $7,500 fed credit.

You can pay whenever. I paid after i inspected the truck and then accepted the delivery.

It's new here. I see at least 2 a day when I visited San Jose in Feb and early March. Soon SoCal will be filled too. I'm calling tint shops for mine and they already have done at least 1. Some already tinted 3.

I can't repro it. I think what happened was before that I was in the Tesla app looking at my CT VIN. Even if you swipe fast to skip a car, the Tesla app wakes it up anyway. I have not been able to repro the sleep/park in Tessie yet when I don't touch the Tesla app. So far so good. BTW, I love...

Even with this set to Off, my car still wakes up when I swap to another car and back. Car 1 was asleep for 33min, then I swapped to car 2 that was charging. Swapping back to Car 1, now shows Park instead of Sleep.

Hi James, thanks for the quick reply. I canceled Tessie and removed the token to troubleshoot. I finally found the problem and it's not Tessie. Charge on Solar needs a key to the car and its name was "unknown" which I deleted when I was setting up Tessie as I had too many keys to add another...

I installed Tessie and it seems to mess with charge on solar. It disconnects my car from the power wall. Does anyone here has Tessie and uses charge on solar?

I've put my thought experiment into practice. Has not been flagged by Tesla yet, but still no VIN either.

Tesla will not standby and not try to get it qualified. It will qualify one day. They will also try to get it in their $25k Tesla. There are battery manufacturers out there that will make these in the US. Tesla will source them. Tesla may even allocate some batteries from Ys to the 3 to drive...

Ok, so they will swap it with new batteries to qualify. It's like this. I pour some water in a pitcher today from Costo water with Kirland brand. Tomorrow I pour Costco water with Essential brand. Both are water sold today, but tomorrow my pitcher will have new water that is different than...

New battery with more minerals and components from North America. This was supposed to go into effect in 2023 but they threw that out to give manufactures more time. I believe Tesla thought it was shifted so they were okay with 40/50, but it wasn't. 2024 requirement is 50% mineral/60% components...

Glad you got to drive it. It's an awesome car and very impressive. Other car manufacturers should be very worried. It's going to be 2018/2019 moment for Tesla again once Tesla get the new battery to qualify for the $7,500 credit. I almost placed an order, but decided to wait for the...

Yes, you can go to Tesla.com and schedule a test drive. Enter your Zip to find the closet location. There's now a couple of YT videos on it too. https://www.tesla.com/drive?selectedModel=Model3

Just came back from a test drive. What an amazing car. I may have to get the performance over the Cybertruck. Waiting on my Cyberbeast VIN and Performance 3 ordering. Which ever comes 1st is the one I will get. Hopefully we get more news about the Performance 3 in the earnings call.

Foundation AWD is 318 advertised and Cyberbeast is 301 miles. However, at 70mph it will be lower anyway. Those advertised ranged is mixed city/highway (65mph).

SpaceX employee?

Typical Tesla service/team. I bet one person was in charge of applying permits and another was in charge of following up and they don't work together. I say that because I have been put in that situation with my car, solar, and even insurance. Tesla Insurance just removed me and adjusted my...

I’m also 2x Tesla owner in CA with a RN of 112755xxx and got my invite today. Ordered the tri-motor. Looks like dual motor starts delivery now and tri-motor in early 2024.

There is around 10% tax so if the CT was $88k. I will probably need to pay around $96k. Now to make it worth it, I will need to sell it over $120k at the minimum. Even then, there isn't any good cars to buy at that price over a Cybertruck. I will need to sell it for $150k+ to cover for a NSX or...

Yeah, this is what I don't understand. I think it should be $0, but now i understand i need to reimburse them. I used to get around $20 credit because I was under every month, but since I have solar, I owe them around $20 every month for the credit. I have since swapped to 4-9 prime and now It...

Anyone know why the baseline credit is owed to them and not to you? I see this on my bill too for baseline credit. Why sending back energy cost me money? Usually using energy gets a baseline credit but since it's negative x negative it becomes a positive so $44.42 is taken away from his credit.

Solar and PW may make more sense to you then. I have a well insulated house in SoCal. I hardly need AC or Heat. It's only hot a few days around 8pm which is when I use AC between 8pm to 10pm. All my lights are LED so on average I only draw about 0.2 kW when AC is Off. My bills in the past were...

My neighbors have 3rd party solar with white grids and made of glass which is all clean as of today. Mine is Tesla solar panels and its not covered with glass on them. They are like think aluminum lines with gaps in between. I have tons of leafs stuck inside of them.

Going a bit off topic, but my 401k is garbage even after maxing it every year, but it's a safe place for my future self. Rest, I am all in on TSLA. I even convert my RSUs to TSLA when they drop. But back to topic, registration fees are based on a % of the car. My manager just paid $18,000 to...

$150k is not a lot of money in CA. 1st max out 401k so you make 127k and then pay around 42k in taxes. Your take home pay is 85k. After mortage and property taxes, it's like 50k. They need to increase the income limit. People making 150k shouldn"t buy a car over 50k.

The good ol'days. My electricity bill in 2008 was $30 then jumped to $50 in 2015. Bought 2 Teslas and it jumped to $80. New rate TOU-Prime put me at $150. Got solar installed this year because the rate will just get more expensive in the next 5,10,15 years.

Fixed it by adding 2 bridged routers in the garage so one is near the gateway.

Anyone found a solution? I have the same problem. Solar was fine for a month after install, but since then my production has been spiky. Everyday has been sunny and no clouds or shades. Used to have a nice bubble before. The drop was because I didn't have PTO so I start to charge the cars to...

SCE/Tesla Solar with 1 PW 3 different Tesla advisors from start to finish Slowest from order to PTO in the neighborhood compared to local solar companies Paid the least compared to my neighbors (1 paid twice as much, but has micro invertors and no PWs) Customer service is as best as you'd expect...

I had to call too so I just put everything on a credit card and paid that off. Tesla product is good and cheap so that means service has to suffer. You can't have all 3. Only 2 of those 3 can work together. Pick your poison. Now try their insurance. You'll be on hold for 3 hours just to start a...

You are right. I just looked at my friend's bill again. He is saving $100 a month on solar but they do charge him based on TOU for generating and delivering his kWhs. I was confused as his bill was only $9 with a true up of -$660. It was because due to legal issues on SCE, they had to credit...

If you are approved for NEM2.0 then it doesn't matter when you pull from the gird. It's 1:1 so timing your PW is not needed. Think as if SCE is your giant battery. This is why they want to move away from 2.0 to 3.0.

FSD has always performed poorly, but like I said before, it's for people who can't drive or can't find better alternatives like using Uber. I had a few drinks a few nights ago in DTLA and used FSD to get home. It was scary in some spots like tight road/highway transitions, but it made it home...

Here is me this morning cruising in the carpool lane on FSD. FSD kept going in and out of carpool lane because the logic says "i can't be in this lane" or "cars in front are driving too slow so i need to pass on the left". I was on chill mode with minimal lane changes, but the car kept...

Single stack FSD on highway is not usable in LA traffic. It makes really dumb lane change decisions pissing everyone off including myself. I have to trun Off FSD until Tesla removed NoAP function. I just want the car to go straight. I will take over on lane changes. Example 1 It will change to...

No, we weren't leaving church. We were on the main road coming to a stop light. A train of cars were leaving church across of me. I think that freaked out FSD. It thought I was going to slam into them. it's just weird since we are coming to a red light. It can just stop at the light normally...

I almost got rear ended this morning as people were leaving church. They had the right of way and my path had a red light. FSD beta slammed on the brakes and started to give me the take over red hands of death warnings. It stopped 2 cars short of the red light and the car behind me wasn't...

California is too big. We don't have enough CHP on the road. My guideline is, if you see one, then you have an unlimited speeding pass for 2 hours. I bet you were cruising 90. On rare occasions, the convey does 100-110 when its very late or very early in the morning.

Y has a stiffer chassis. I couldn't stand how the X turns when making 90 degree right turns. However, the new 2022 X made huge improvements to the chassis. I was surprised with the new refresh. It's more than just looks and new tech.

Must have some balls to sell this. May be liable for damages to sell an item that is recalled for destruction. GLWTS. Talk to a lawyer before selling.

The wait list may not be as long for some. Owners will reject a pickup and Tesla will call someone else to make a sale. My cousin got a Model X plaid within 1 week of deposit. He had to take black one though so he did instead of waiting for a blue. It had a couple of blemishes on the outside...

Correct. I was headed to the GG bridge. It was breezy on a nice day with the heat on full blast and the windows down. CHP on a motorcycle entered the freeway and saw me driving with the windows down. He lane split to my side and motioned his hands and arms for me to pull over. I did, and he...

You can also just pay the fine and not take it off. Save the hassle of removing it and getting it retinted. Any % of tint in the front 2 windows are illegal in CA. NoCal cops are bored. I was pulled over a few years ago for driving with my windows down in December. CHP wanted to see if I had...

Signature glass tint and buy the lifetime replacement. https://signaturetint.com/

This finally fixed the few issues I had around house. It no longer stops when the oncoming lane has a STOP painted in the road and it also found the road across the street that wasn't straight. However, it still turns on the left blinker when going across the street so scares the cars to my left...

I was stuck in LA morning traffic in 2018 with my brand new Model 3. It was a fault in the drive unit. Since they replaced it, it has been perfect. I have never been late to work in over 25 years in my trusty Toyotas, but late to work twice because of Tesla. Other time I was stuck in my...

I think they will raise all specs by at least $7,500 because they will want in on the incentive. Tri-motor will not be eligible but they will take the $7,500 from you anyway. So base will be $49k, dual at $59k and tri-motor at $89k

Finally others have been noticing this too. My Model 3 is like a Corolla EV, and Model S is like a Camry EV. Model X was so bad during the test drive that after a couple of turns I was ready to park it and walk away. That chassis flex was bad. However, Model Y was pretty solid and I would...

Tesla service was good back in 2018. They have not scaled up fast enough. It's very bad now. Can't even talk to a person.

Week is not bad. My latest appointment was 32 days away. It was 34 days, but service moved me up by 2 days.
