    Colorado Registration Timeline

    That sounds right too - the Fed get's the information from the form filed by Tesla. The state depends on the self reporting. Go to DR 0617 - Innovative Motor Vehicle Credit & Innovative Truck Credit | Department of Revenue - Taxation , that will take you to form and instructions. Good luck

    Colorado Registration Timeline

    Did you e-file you state form? If so, did you submit the "extra data" (copy of sales agreement, copy of registration) either by mail or electronically? There was no way to attach these copies directly from Turbotax. If the state did not get the extra data, which they use to confirm the...

    Colorado Registration Timeline

    I picked up my MYLR on August 30, received. notification from Denver DMV on December 18 that I could come in to get my plates. I think timing varies county to county, so your mileage may vary.

    Good article on tire pressure

    I don't understand why the behavior you've described would be "programmed" into the system. First (and most importantly) - Tesla recommends 45 psig in the 19" tires on my Model S. If you inflate the tires to 45 psig, why would they make the TPMS sensors display an adjusted pressure that is...

    Good article on tire pressure

    As long as we're already off topic, I'd like to make a little clarification. "Elevation change directly affects the displayed pressure versus what the pressure is in the tires at any temperature." The pressure measured with a pressure gauge or the TPMS sensor is referred to as psig (gauge...

    Unable to charge

    I had something similar away from primary home - I was at a parking garage at the Venetian Casino in Vegas and got the charging interrupted message on the app. Went out and tried to restart charging, and it wouldn't restart. A couple days later at the Las Vegas LINQ S/C, would not charge, so...

    Will 2015 - 2020 Mustang wheels fit our cars?

    Also, make sure the bolt pattern is correct for your car. Model S/X (5X120) and Model 3 (5X114.3) are different. Mustang 5 bolt will fit Model 3.

    Supercharger - Las Vegas, NV (High Roller at LINQ)

    I was there last night and it looked like everything was up and running again... Couldn’t really tell if it was achieving V3 rates, I came in with 40% SOC and battery was probably not fully preheated, but it did touch 100 kW for a minute or two.

    Tesla's long term plan for superchargers?

    At an Urban station, pedestals are paired, and each pedestal is limited to 72kW, or 144 kW/Pair. A 150 kW V2 station, also pairs pedestals, but the 150 kW is shared by the pedestals. If one pedestal is unoccupied, the other can pull up to the full 150 kW, but two combined are limited to 150...

    A long range Hybrid Tesla, thinking outside of the box...

    swaltner's logic is right on point - here's a slightly different approach to the same logic The concept is interesting, unfortunately the OP's physics won't work. If your car consumes 300 wh/mi at 60 mph steady speed, that is equivalent to 18 kW power consumption. Your "alternator" (let's...

    prefacelift cars with newer wheels (3/2016 S90d)

    Don't know for sure about new wheels on old cars, but I did use a set of twin spokes as winter wheels on my late 2016 S75D Facelift and AP2) and everything fit and worked fine. Can't really make a judgement on efficiency, the operating conditions between the seasons probably made a bigger...

    No more free unlimited supercharging for some used Tesla vehicles

    I just went back and pulled up the screenshot of my account page from May 2017 - I purchased a November 2016 S60D from new inventory, and the FUSC came with it - here's the exact language from that time period: Supercharging You have free, unlimited Supercharging, including your current Tesla...

    Somebody please clear me up on AP/EAP/NoA/FSD

    Good question - I can confirm that the Autopilot option codes for the February 2019 inventory S100D I bought last month are: APBS Autopilot APF2 Full Self-Driving Capability APH3 AP 2.5 This car would never have had EAP, so if FSD was cancelled, it would go back to the "new" autopilot. If...

    FSD purchasers: When might HW3.0 become available?

    I'm pretty sure the Monroney Sticker is just the build list describing the configuration the sticker pricing was based on, not a guarantee the configuration will forever and always remain "as built". For example, I bought a 2016 AP2 S75D from inventory that showed FSD and 75 kWh battery on the...

    FSD purchasers: When might HW3.0 become available?

    What if the car is returned to Tesla as a trade or lease return - couldn't they just turn off FSD and resell it without that capability? If so, then the new buyer would have to repurchase FSD in order to get the retrofit, right?

    Is the "order payment" for a NEW inventory car refundable?

    I just bought an inventory car (2019 S 100D) a couple weeks ago, and I clipped the following out of the Terms and Conditions document - If you are purchasing a Vehicle from our inventory that is not custom ordered by you, we will, after you submit your completed order, begin the process of...

    App always shows "Software Update in Progress"

    I had the same thing happen when updating to 2018.50.6. Tried all these things, and the status never cleared in the app. Just decided to live with it, and when the next update (happened to be 2019.8.3) installed, the notice on the app cleared and it's been fine since then...

    Home Tesla Charger - Help

    I installed a HPWC about a year ago to charge my 2016 S75D. Have never had problems with supercharger or UMC connection, but the HPWC has always required an extra from push to get it fully inserted into the charge port. I'd guess 90% of the time, I get the orange port light but once I give the...

    Colorado Registration Title Complete Notice?

    I'm trying to remember the process I went through...

I left the delivery with all the documents I'd need to register the car, but had to...

    Colorado Registration Title Complete Notice?

    it's been couple years since I registered my last new car (2016 Model S) but as I recall - the Title Complete Notice was sent to my mailing address. The card is a notice that the process has been completed (not that the application was submitted) and you can proceed to the DMV with the card...

    Do your lug nut covers stay on?

    Necessity being the mother of invention... I needed to change over to my winter tires last week and did not have the tool to get the lug covers off. They are pretty deep in the wheel on the classic 5 spoke wheels, and not much clearance around the cap. I was ready to give up, when I noticed...

    Software update 2018.26 3bbd9fd

    Today was my first long drive (400 miles on I-70 west of Denver) since I installed 2016.26 and I think it's a huge regression from 2018.24.1- it's back to diving into any freeway off ramp or on ramp (the wide lane centering problem that on my car was much improved on 2018.24.1). Way too much...

    Xcel Time of Use Rates in Colorado

    Using Option 2, if your PV generation exceeds the consumption during peak and shoulder times, then in the summer months, the value of the left over kWh can be used to offset about 1.5 kWh of off peak for each kWh of shoulder remaining or about 2 kWh of any peak remaining. Then, the value of...

    Xcel Time of Use Rates in Colorado

    The answer to that question is "it depends". That's what I tried to explain above. I don't know how much excess production you have, I don't know what it's worth under your current plan, I don't know which option under the TOU plan you would choose. I tried to describe how the TOU excess...

    Xcel Time of Use Rates in Colorado

    I think if you currently generate more than you consume, under the two options in the current plan, you would probably be indifferent. Option 1 (default) TOU generation for each time block is first used to offset XCEL delivered kWh for that block. Peak for peak, shoulder for shoulder, off-peak...

    Xcel Time of Use Rates in Colorado

    Yes, they are all included in the billing, but they are rates that are applied to your net consumption, so they just apply to the net energy delivered by XCEL (total kWh consumed - generated kWh).

    Xcel Time of Use Rates in Colorado

    Not sure whether this is a change or not, but my understanding is that under TOU, both the net meter and the production meter track time, so consumption and generation can be valued at the appropriate time pricing. I don't know the program when you connected but currently there are a couple...

    Xcel Time of Use Rates in Colorado

    Going up on a year with PV and TOU rates. We do have both a PV Production meter as well as a net meter for consumption. XCEL seems to have a problem with this combination - in the 12 months I've been running, they have only managed to issue bills with actual readings from the combination 2...

    Range or Percentage...a Simple Poll

    True, it's an ever decreasing tank size - but the rate of decrease is very slow compared to the factors that impact range. That change in capacity takes place of a number of years, and many 10's of thousand of miles. Over that time period, the driver will have adjusted to that slow change...

    Range or Percentage...a Simple Poll
