I'm currently working with Tesla to get solar installed on my house. I've received the first design and they dropped my desired 9.6kW system down to 4.8kW (which will only offset 48% of my usage). I requested a design change with more panels and was almost immediately told that they couldn't...

In the past, if I left my car plugged in overnight, when I went to get in the next morning I would need to wake it up by lightly pressing one of the door handles before I could press the button on the wall connector wand and remove it. However, in the past month or so, I have been able to press...

Near the end of January I was driving home and I thought I may have been hit from behind as I was coming to a stop at an intersection. I was leaning forward in my seat at the time and I had just started to accelerate, and it was such a small bump that I convinced myself it was nothing and...

A lot of people have been saying that Michelin no longer honors their wear warranty for OEM tires (apparently they changed their policy towards the end of 2018). After being told by the Tesla service center that I was due for new tires, I called the Michelin service line and told them I wasn’t...

If Tesla made available a Model 3 with the same “sledgehammer proof” skin, would you buy it? At first I thought it looked very odd (in addition to the polarizing looks of the cybertruck) to not be painted. But the more I think about it, the more I realize how awesome it would be to never have...

This happened twice yesterday, but went away after driving on the highway. Think it’s just something temporarily stuck in a fan or should I make a service appointment for it?

About a month ago a friend purchased a Model 3 using my referral code (it was the same day that Tesla said that referrals had to use the link, not just tell the advisor when ordering; of course, my friend didn’t know that when she ordered). A few days ago the free 1000 miles of supercharging...

I recently was given a Model S 85 as a loaner for almost a week when my Model 3 was getting some work done. Since it seems to be fairly common for people to try to decide between buying a new Model 3 or a used Model S, I figured it would be useful to post a subjective comparison between the two...

I'm planning on rotating my tires for the first time this weekend. I've never had to rotate tires without having a spare to use, so please tell me if this is a workable strategy. I plan on moving rears forward, and fronts back and across to the other side. I also know the proper method for...

For about the last week my AWD Model 3 has sometimes made a popping noise when turning sharply or going over speed bumps. It doesn’t always happen but more often then not it will. It also happens more often when turning while going up or down an incline (like in a parking garage). Has anyone...

I want to do a matte wrap of my center console and I can’t seem to make up my mind on which product to get. Here is what I’m trying to decide between: https://www.amazon.com/Kenriko-Tesla-Model-Matte-Console/dp/B07CZL8ZR5 Model 3 Console - Matte Black Urethane PPF Xpel Stealth Interior Vinyl...

I am trying to have all of the various seat protectors purchased and ready to go by the time my Model 3 arrives so that I can have it all installed on day 1. Currently both my kids are in booster seats (https://www.amazon.com/Graco-Backless-Booster-System-Pierce/dp/B00H8MSLE0), so I’m looking...

Has anyone found a good enclosure that allows the UMC to hang down and be relatively protected from the elements? Thanks!

Is there any benefit to putting a small piece of PPF under the front license plate? Does the 3M tape used do any damage to the paint?

For someone who has installed the Tesla HPWC using the top entry bracket - where is the bracket mounted relative to the wall stud? Should it be centered over the stud? I’m running the conduit for my circuit and I need to know where it should come down the wall. Thanks for any info!

For any Model S/X owners, how does Tesla handle trade-ins? Specifically: Is Tesla the one taking the trade and dealing with the paperwork, or do they employ a third party that works with you directly? When in the ordering process do you find out the value that they have assigned to your...

I'm assuming that once the standard battery becomes available, the premium package would be an available add-on. Does anyone have a reason to think that's not the case?

With international deliveries not starting until late 2018, does this mean the US deliveries will happen sooner than expected and most people will get the full tax credit? I have a March 2017 reservation (yes, late to the game), and the delivery estimator (from @Troy I believe) says I wouldn’t...

One of my main concerns with the Model 3 was rear leg room. My current vehicle is getting too small for my kids in their car seats when sitting behind me. The spec sheet shows 42.7” in the front and 35.2” in the back - obviously that depends on where the front seat is positioned. Does anyone...

This was spotted earlier on the interior shots posted last night, but no one seems to be talking about it. Any thoughts on what the green light could be on the rearview mirror? I'm pretty sure it's not just a funny reflection.

Looks like the bill going through the Colorado senate to kill the EV tax credits has been LOST (meaning it is dead for the session and will need to be restarted next session). Good news for Coloradoans looking to buy an EV in the near future!

Can anyone educate me on what is meant by "glass roof"? I was under the impression that the glass roof was the area behind the passengers that starts at the trunk and extends to the B-pillar area. I was also under the impression that this was a necessary structural piece and integral to...

The Model S and X both have built in cell network access (for updates, maps, traffic conditions, etc), for which the owner isn't charged to use. Has this been mentioned in conjunction with the Model 3? I can see Tesla providing free data for life when it comes attached to a $70k+ car, but it's...

In preparation for my Model 3, I've been researching what options my energy provider has available. They are currently running a TOU Metering pilot program that charges higher rates from 4-8PM, and lower rates from 8-4PM. I'm curious if it makes sense for me to switch once I start charging an...

(I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this - I didn't see any other forums that would be a better match. Mods - feel free to move it if it belongs elsewhere) I've been researching options for installing the Tesla Wall Connector in my garage. I realize that a lot of people opt to install a...

I was surprised to find out Tesla offers financing (no way I could afford a MS or MX so there was no reason for me to even look). From the website it looks like the APR is very low compared to other rates I see (1.49% from Tesla, vs ~2.25% or higher from various banks and credit unions). Is...
