    Tesla Trade-in Program

    Hey everyone, quick question i have about trading in a used tesla for a new one. i knew they had a program at some point to trade in your old model for a new one after some time, but i do not remember how the program worked, nor do i know if they still have one. can anyone chime in and help...

    Trunk (maybe Frunk) aftermarket lighting

    does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for a better lighting source for the trunk? i am also interested in lighting for the frunk too, but unsure if it is as needed as the trunk. also, if this is easy enough for me to install then great, but if it is more complicated than normal...

    Less than stellar delivery experience

    for 9 days i have been told that i would receive my model s today at my door step. this is of course no longer the case. they explain to me that the washing will take longer and that lining up delivery personnel will take days. so i am stuck with a full day off of work, which was no easy task...

    #65 Opening My Garage Door With Tesla Mobile App

    can you explain how you linked the car/app to your specific garage door? seems easy enough to summon the car or hit the garage door button on the app, but there isn't a how-to for syncing the car/app to the door itself. thanks

    Anyone have a recommendation of someone that can do this in the bay area? I'm looking to get either red or yellow on those bad boys! Thanks!

    XPel or 3M or other?

    I'm Def new to all this. Can you explain what this product is for? I'm also in the bay area. Thanks!

    Windows up, AC On vs. Windows down, AC off

    Yeah I mean no matter what the drag coefficient is, it gets destroyed on every windows are down. All that air coming in is the effect of the car pulling on the air around it while moving. It'll always be better to have the windows up beyond 50ish mph.

    Charging at Tesla Service Center

    great to know! thanks!

    Charging at Tesla Service Center

    is that to say the dealerships are equipped with superchargers akin to those standalone supercharger locations in say parking garages/hotels/malls? i can, but i dont have anything above a standard outlet (ie slllllllooooooowwwwwwww) but i do have chargers at my work

    Charging at Tesla Service Center

    ahh thats great to hear! i'm sure the culture is similar in most tesla places. thanks

    Charging at Tesla Service Center

    Hello all! inquiring about how easy or hard (or not possible) it is to charge at a dealership (or HQ). i live in the bay area, and work in palo alto. there is a dealer ship about 3 or so miles from my office, and the HQ is about a block away. also there is a dealership (where i bought my MS75D)...

    How to approach landlord about charging?

    wow thats awesome! i have a 10-30 and this would be great! not sure if i could get a cord thats long enough to get to my car actually but its still pretty cool!

    How to approach landlord about charging?

    not to mention, if you dont bring up the subject, a landlord may never realize it is a possible improvement to the property that they may not have thought about before. but thats a slight benefit to getting them to do it. i think the fair thing to do is to at least offer to split the cost.

    How to approach landlord about charging?

    no surprise there :P i do have plenty of outlets in my garage (where i plan to store my beauty) that i can just plug the car into overnight so that it is still charging at least a bit. i hear that its good to do that even if youre not getting much range on the car, the battery is being charged...

    How to approach landlord about charging?

    What if you as the landlord were paying for the electricity? My apt pays for all utilities. I only pay a rent check. Everything especially they pay for. When I told them I got a tesla they were quite hesitant to be willing to have me plug it in. It is an old building and may not even be able to...

    Delivery time with new inventory

    yeah their logistics dept is the drawback. i cant get a consistent answer as to where it even is. i hear its on a truck and i also hear its still in charlotte. i asked if there is a way to expedite the shipping. all they can say is no right? :P they told me that they were having issues with...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    i'll try as soon as i can get mine (75d new inventory that is suppose to not have the improvements)
  25. jdowell362

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    i'd be eager to hear what you have to say when yours is delivered
  26. jdowell362

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    i see! thats interesting. i wonder if they will disclose whether or not it is a limited 90. that could explain the quicker sprint time. but if thats true, will they really allow removing of the software restriction? that doesn't sound likely since we could all buy 90's for the price of a 75. i...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    battery improvements? was the range affected in addition to the 0-60 time?
  28. jdowell362

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    yeah i saw a link that showed a schedule of sales. i got about 130k as well. even with little to no risk of losing the rebate, i will stick with my new inventory car even with the lower 0-60 performance. i'm getting leather seats rather than the fabric at the same price of a custom build. oh...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    and just to be clear, even though we have the option to go back to a custom made car my fiancee doesn't agree that all that hassle and time lost for delivery is really worth a 1sec diff in the 0-60 time, and i tend to agree. the biggest thing is, that i feel taken advantage of, but i dont think...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    interesting. so the 193k # at the end of my vin is the total sales globally, not just in the us? i.e. this number isn't representative of how many were sold in the us and thus qual for the fed tax break? this is interesting news! ill look for that thread in the model 3 section, but if you have...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    i tend to agree, but they look at the website dozens and dozens of times every single day. plus they get company confidential information that could have stated this change; of course thats an assumption. but to know that one day a specific model is 5.2 and then changes to 4.2 the next is...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    man im sorry to hear that. as a new development. i talked to them over the weekend. they gave me the option to put my money back into my custom build, but that may (most likely) lost the financing percentage i got on my tesla loan- not a big deal. but my main concern was my new inventory model...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    wow i hope that my new inventory car was made in the new line up. i was going to build one from scratch which would have of course been apart of the 4.2 75d crowd, but my sales person found one already made in NC. its the new 2017 models but they of course never said anything about performance...

    Delivery time with new inventory

    yeah that was one of the reasons why i wanted to try for a new inventory that met my needs so badly, it would take less time to get to my damn door! hah
  36. jdowell362

    Delivery time with new inventory

    thats awesome! did you have to proactively reach out to them to find out, or did they contact you to say your car would be ready 3-ish weeks ahead of time? thanks for the feedback! i'm definitely try to see if they can get it on a truck and over to me asap.
  37. jdowell362

    Delivery time with new inventory

    hey i question for those that have bought a new inventory model recently (past 6 months or so) how long did it take from signing the paper work to getting your tesla? the person at the shop said about 3-4 weeks for my MS 75D. i live in cal and the car is in north carolina. also wondering if...

    Custom plates (CA.)

    thanks everyone!!
  39. jdowell362

    Custom plates (CA.)

    i see! that makes sense. so even if i get the car with standard cal plates, once my custom plates come in, i'll show my registration and they'll hand me my new plates and thats all there is to it! not bad! cant wait for my car to go WARP T3N! lol
  40. jdowell362

    Custom plates (CA.)

    yes. i got mine in the classic 60's black :)

    Custom plates (CA.)

    i just ordered my MS 75D and i was able to order my plates online with CA DMV. i am wondering how it works to be able to use those plates on my car. the procedure, and the order of what i need to do is a bit confusing. any first hand help would be great! thanks!

    Loaning policy for new customers

    Can anyone help me with some first hand experience? I just ordered my new MS 75D but its in NC so it will take a few weeks to get to my door. Has anyone else tried to get a loaner during this time? If this has been asked and answered in another thread, feel free to just copy the link. i'm new...

    Destination/delivery fee

    i'm wondering if this is a state to state thing. they told me it was because they do all the dmv paperwork. i told them that of course i'll do it myself for that much $ and they told me even still, they have to charge it. i'm in california
