    Hints for M3 front plate/back plate registration sticker/inspection(registration)

    Fantastic! I took your suggestion and drove to Min Plastic. The plate I got from them was slightly different - it was just the bracket to the right side for the inspection label. They only charged me $10, probably due to less material. I love your front plate with the suction cups. Could I...

    Hints for M3 front plate/back plate registration sticker/inspection(registration)

    Just brought my M3 from the mainland. Looking for help from experienced members here: Can I get away with no front plate during inspection? If not, can you recommend a plate mount that doesn't require drilling? Where do I get a backplate mount with the right tag space for the yearly...

    Ala Moana Tesla Chargers

    Are those new Ala Moana charging stalls DCFC/CCS chargers? Went to the Aiea SC for the first time last week and had to wait in line for an hour before starting my charge, and $0.50/kWh ain't cheap.

    Shipping my 2019 M3 Standard Range Plus to Honolulu for pick up next week. How much should I expect to pay in Annual Registration Fees (State + County)?

    MCU1: Black center screen / mcu failure caused by a faulty navigation MicroSD card

    As a software engineer who uses Linux every day, I could probably handle the technical aspects with the help from this board. Formatting and flashing a SDCard isn't a big deal as long as the partition sizes are sufficient and we buy from a reputable firm. However, the hardware/install aspects...

    MCU1: Black center screen / mcu failure caused by a faulty navigation MicroSD card

    My MCU1 on my 2016 MX has been degrading for the last few months. Got to the point where I got a MCU_w007 Navigation Unavailable alert. The MCU1 would sporadically reboot. Cellular modem was unreliable and voice commands rarely worked. The SC tells me that the 16GB microSD card needs to be...

    Another front suspension control arm failure

    I think that was a separate filing with only 2 complainants. This one has over 100, according to the law firm (that doc also lists all the NHTSA complaints - an interesting read).

    Another front suspension control arm failure

    I signed off for the Tesla SC to make the repair, reported the issue with the NHTSA, and shot an email off to McCune Wright. Waiting for a response from the law firm. Their court filing looks beefy.

    Another front suspension control arm failure

    I just got an estimate back for USD1,045.50 total ($415.50 parts, $630 Labor). FORE LINK ASSY, LH (1041570-00-B0) and FORE LINK ASSY (1041575-00-B0) for $205 each. I probably have no choice but for them to fix it, send the invoice to the NHTSA, and then send the invoice to some law firm doing...

    Another front suspension control arm failure

    Just happened to my 2016 Model X 75 at 27k miles. Right front control arm broken on cursory inspection by the SC. Happened during slow maneuvers while parking.

    Yokohama Geolandar X-CV

    I have a 2016 MX. After 26,300mi, it was time to replace the stock Continental Cross Contact XL Sports after a couple of punctures in the same driver's side back tire. At Big-O-Tires, I was quoted $1,460 out the door for a replacement set. I decided try out a set of Yokohama Geolandar X-CV...

    Insurance rates on the raise

    After zero incidents, Costco/Ameriprise jacked my premium by 17% after six months (pretty evenly across each of the two cars). But even at $736/6mo for a 2016 TMX ($455) and a 2016 Spark EV ($281), I probably will still have a hard time finding a cheaper insurer for the Bay Area. I've tried...

    Car Unlocking On Its Own At Night

    I recently had the same problem - the MX turning on by itself whenever someone got close. Even if I lock the MX using the app, within a few minutes, it would unlock itself. No matter how I locked the car, with the app, or with the FOB, it would unlock itself and the headlights would go on if...
