nevermind- I got a response from them and they did deduct the $2000.

Picking up a Model 3 in Lawrenceville tomorrow. Has anyone picked up from there in the past few days? Account still did not give the $2000 from ChargeUpNJ. Placed order on 17th so I would guess the rebate should be active.

Just wanted to try not using any climate control to see what kind of results I would get. I thought the many short trips would be an issue, and wanted to get some data points. Reality set in and I left my seat heater on the lowest setting. Anyway, on my latest 2.4 mile drive I used 1.5 miles...

I'll try it with the heat off and see what kind of results I get. I do use the seat warmers, but will turn those off too.

It was generally short trips, 5-10 miles at a time, but probably only over 2-3 days. Still, this is what I usually do in slightly warmer weather too. It is a 2018 pre-heat pump model 3. I took a long trip the previous weekend about 110 miles each way and realized I wasn't going to make it...

So with these new energy graphs I saw how horrible my range has been lately. Of 150 miles of range used, only 87.3 miles or 58% was used towards driving and 56 miles worth or 37% towards climate control. From everything I have read this seems really atypical. Is there anyone else out there...

My display screen says LTE on it. After scheduling my appointment with the service center (which was bumped out a month), they told me that since my screen says LTE I do not need to get the 3G modem replacement. My guess is that it must have been replaced when my eMMC was replaced.

Has anyone experienced a drop off in service yet because of this. I did not notice anything on a short drive this morning. I did have the eMMC replaced on recall, but it sounds like the eMMC would not include the LTE modem upgrade. Is it possible that ATT did not discontinue service yet even...

What I wish every car would have, but would be easier to implement on a Tesla with controls on screen would be the ability to add auxiliary controls with customizable "buttons" on screen. Maybe an electrical panel where you could connect devices and then define a new screen control for them...

I think this chart shows that while a tabless battery charges much faster than a battery with a tab, doesn't it also show that a larger diameter battery takes LONGER to charge. This difference is greatly minimized because it is tabless, but it is still a longer amount of time. The bigger...

I'm not an accountant, but the section 177 or 179 accelerated depreciation is phasing out. You won't be able to depreciate 100% of it immediately the way you could before. I think the current limit for vehicles is maybe $11,000. This law has changed a number of times recently, so it could be...

Just realized I compared vs the 911 Carrera S and not the base Carrera. Still, the base Carrera does 0-60 in 3.8 to 4 Seconds depending on where I look it up. The dual motor speed is still understated, but not by nearly as much as my previous post which I can't seem to edit.

At the reveal Elon said when the Cybertruck beat the Porsche 911 in the quarter mile, that the truck on stage was the actual truck. The truck on stage was a 2 motor, not even the 3 motor. According to Car and Driver, the 911 Carrera S does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds...

I purchased the maxpider 3D trunk mat from partcatalog. 3D MAXpider Kagu Rubber Floor Mats I don't know if they have a model X version. If I were buying today the Taptes mats look very similar for a lower price, but I have never seen in person. I haven't really kept up with it since I...

Wow, I really want that deep one, but not enough to pay that much for it. I did see some other options on Ebay like this one. For Tesla Model 3 2017 - 2019 Car Rear Trunk Storage Box Mat Odorless Durable | eBay If someone buys one, let us know what you think of it.

is it ok if it is the coolant pumps. Just want to make sure that there isn't something I need to fix as my warranty ends soon.

Thanks. Good to know. I don't think I have ever heard that sound before, and I am sure I spend more time in the garage than most people.

Noticed this sound coming from my car last night. Went driving and still made the sound while the car was moving. Continued to make the sound after I parked it again. Is this something I need to be alarmed about? I'd like to bring it in for service before my warranty expires if so. Since...

This is my S getting a dent fixed. Its a long video, so you can just look at the beginning and end. $75 is really good. Happy with the work and would recommend. Only thing I didn't like is that he was using some polish to clean the panel for his tools to stick, so I had to wax my car again.

press the compass on the screen and it toggles back and forth between the two methods

I bought one too. I couldn't be happier with the dead pedal itself. The only thing is that I can't really see it with my Maxpider floor mats.

Can I ask you what sales tax rate they charged? Wherever you live in SnoCo or Bellevue? I think Bellevue is at 10.3%, and maybe they add on .3% extra for cars. Maybe I had the RTA issue because I am in unincorporated King Co. It was eventually fixed, but it took a while.

I actually checked with my accountant before I received my car and he told me that if I pick it up I would pay RTA and all the Bellevue taxes, but if I had it delivered I would pay my local tax rate, which is lower. Because of that I had them deliver my car, and they still charged me the RTA...

I'd like enough for the back of the rear seats and the bottom of the subtrunk too assuming the price is reasonable.

Just got my Maxpider Trunk mats from Partcatalog yesterday. Thought I would share what they look like for anyone looking for a trunk mat since I don't see them posted yet. While I don't see them on the website, they sent me an email to order since I had bought the Maxpider Floor mats from them...

Those do look better. I'll order a set and see if I can replace mine.

I used the G2 kit as well. I'd recommend it, since it seems somewhat self leveling. It will take your car out of action for at least 1 day, but likely 2 unless you have 4 jacks. I also used the DIY hockey puck jack stand pads. I only had one low profile jack , so to use the jack from another...

Jaywlker, Originally I thought that they would match my painted calipers perfectly, but I realize I like the way you used the smaller logos more. I just never knew where to get them. I think there is likely a better suited car than mine for your logos. Thanks again.

I ended up getting a rubber floor mat and cutting it to shape. Pretty happy with the results since it was $10 instead of $70. It doesn't have a raised rim, but considering how infrequently I use my frunk I am ok with that. This is what I used, though I am sure that there are plenty of...

I went with 6 just because I could fit 6 inside the housing. RpmTesla also has 6 inside their upgraded lights. Opened my trunk on a really dark back road and I found the lighting pretty good. Was even considering adding another strip in since I already have the lights. Didn’t really think...

Pretty sure 2835s are what I used. You should be fine. Cheaper than the set with the switch too if you aren’t going to use it elsewhere.

Mayhem, Can I ask which wheels you were using? Wanted to know what difference the 19's made compared to the 18's for the AWD non-P cars.

I folded the strip of LEDs in a bit of a zigzag pattern making sure that I could mount the edges onto the wire connections and stick the other end to the side of the plastic housing. The strip is about twice the length of the housing, but then just stuffed inside of it.

Thanks for the post. I bought these lights and was able to cram 6 LEDs worth into the light housing. If some is good, more must be better. Also did the puddle lights for the front doors. Btw, when you disconnect the front door puddle lights the car seems to go into a shutdown and leaves...

Has anyone found any good options for a cheaper frunk/trunk mat? I was hoping to find something cheaper than Tesla's $130 trunk mat. It is a nice mat, but I would like to see other lower priced options. Does anyone have a review on ToughPro's $80 trunk mat?

Thanks for the tips. Alcohol was the first thing I tried. I'm am hoping it will stay down, but not optimistic. Maybe if I can keep trying for a few days I might have a chance. I am thinking of trying contact cement which should dry clear enough that it shouldn't be noticeable on my white...

So I took a crack at PPF this past week. I Started with a front door panel thinking it would be easy, but I didn't really appreciate how difficult it would be and left more than a few bubbles. It seems just because there are no bubbles now doesn't mean that some won't appear. The water flows...

Can someone tell me if I ended up with fake film, or this is a lot harder than it looks on Youtube. I recently purchased what was described as Suntek Ultra PPF on Ebay from a private seller with 45 feet of a 50 foot roll, so not a known seller. It came in a Suntek box with no documentation...

Got my car yesterday, and I noticed that the inside facing side of the car seat is fabric, not the fake leather. I read this forum pretty often, and surprised no one has mentioned it. I was pretty concerned when I ordered the white seats on the car, but was assured that the white material is...

EVGhost, can I ask you which wheels you chose? Waiting for my white/white/AWD/19s. Thx.

I have heard soda water works. I regularly use to clean bird poop. I wouldn't be as concerned if it is on the glass.

I just looked up my records for a model S purchase that I picked up in Bellevue though technically I live in unincorporated King County. I was charged the 10.3% Bellevue sales tax. I asked my accountant and he told me that when I renew my plates I will be charged based on where I live, but if...

I have the same crease. Just got mine too. Letting it lay flat in the sun and hoping it goes away. Not in a hurry since I don't have the car yet.

Brian from Peach State Detail did a video where he uses ONR for this purpose on a Model X.

Thanks for your responses. I've attached a photo to show that there isn't the wire under the microphone grille that is there in most other Model S's. I read that the first cars all had the wire, and then for a period in 2013 they do not, and then Tesla resumed putting that powered wire in the...

I have a 2013 Model S. I wanted to install a dash cam (it's a DDpai mini, a rather cheap 1080 dash cam), so after much reading I was prepared to install by using cord in speaker grill between the two cabin lights. After I even bought the adapter, I opened the grille and the cable that is...

Can I ask you guys which vendor you used? This looks like the kind of project I'd like to try (when I get my car). The front looks tough, but much easier than a car with a lot of grille space would. I saw a youtube video and the cuts for the front don't look impossible. I also saw a...

Could I please get a copy of the file as well. Thank you.

DarrinV, thanks for the referral. I was probably visiting Peterson Dent Repair just before I saw this, but was quite pleased. Here is the video of Garth Peterson fixing my dent. I was quite pleased with the results, and his prices seem fair. He spent more than 2.5 hours tackling my hood...

I love the idea of a swinging boom to keep the charger cable out of the way. Here's a design I saw someone DIY to hold a vacuum cleaner hose in his wood shop. This one is only 4ft long though. Homemade wall-mounted boom arm
