    Supercharger - Brooklyn, NY

    Is this really going to be only 8 stalls? For such a large lot in a high density area, I’m hoping there would be at least 12-16.

    Supercharger - Central Valley, NY

    Good to finally have this for the Woodbury area, but not the most convenient to get to if you’re just stopping to charge and not shopping at the outlets. This parking garage is located at the furthest point of the outlet accessible from the main road, and on busier/holiday weekends, there’s...

    Supercharger - Central Valley, NY

    Confirming Woodbury is in construction, on the ground level of the parking garage of Woodbury Commons Outlet at exactly (41.3131614, -74.1251304). Opposite these chargers is the set of EVgo charging stations, and on the other side of the garage is a set of in-construction EA chargers too. @Chuq...

    Advice needed: Interior door trim damaged/melted after window tint job

    I believe they use a heat gun for frameless windows that drop down when you open, so the portion that tucks into the door will cure faster.

    Which do you prefer - old center console or new center console

    Visually, I prefer the look of the old one, especially with a wrap. But functionally, I prefer the new one because with the old one, I constantly have a fear of accidentally opening the lid while small objects are on it and risk falling into the unretrievable void that opens in the gap.

    7-seat config waiting room

    Received VIN today! 144xxx build date today, March 11. LR AWD 7-seat White/White 20" Wheels w/ Tow Hitch no FSD. Ordered day 1 March, 2019 from Brooklyn, NY. Confirmed no new headlights. I received an email asking for final payment, so that's when I checked and saw the VIN.

    7-seat config waiting room

    Awesome, hope to see more in NY! When did you order? I'm a day 1 preorder from March 2019 in NYC, and still have no VIN and delivery date, meanwhile I'm seeing some placing orders in Jan/Feb and have received their cars already 😆.

    Transfer Navigation To Model Y From An App

    You can do this on your phone via the native sharing feature. For example, if you’re viewing a location in Google maps, you can use the Share button and select the Tesla app and it will send that location as the destination to your car. One great thing is you can even do this when the car is...

    7-seat config waiting room

    Good to see some NYC/Brooklyn people getting VINs. I'm also in Brooklyn and ordered back in March 2019 with no VIN yet. I wonder if it had to do with a text I received in late January asking if I want to take delivery within 1-2 months or end of Spring. I missed replying to the text, but my SA...

    7 Seater Pics and Details

    Thanks for the details and photos, they're great! What are the ranges of movement for the second row? Is what's shown in the photos the farthest forward they can move? It looks like when the second row is moved forward, outboard passengers will have a hard time reaching for their seat belts as...

    Supercharger - Fairfield, CT

    Southbound marked as temporary closure but 4 stalls are lighted up and at least 1 is working. I charged here today and got a max of 120kW on the 3rd stall from the left.

    Features I had to give up when I bought a Tesla

    I have this feature when I pick up my wife. While driving, I call her from the car, then ask her to share her location with "Send to Tesla". The car's navigation destination automatically updates and I also don't have to take my eyes off the road.

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    Does this yellow border issue still affect the displays in the newer Raven models, or too early to tell? Does it eventually happen to all Model S/X screens? I know it doesn't affect the functionality, but as someone thinking of going from a Model 3 to a Model X, these details irk me and is...

    Supercharger Routing App for iOS, Beta testers wanted

    Yeah I need to allow changing the range and/or efficiency values. It's on my to-do list. It does not currently account for elevation.

    Supercharger - Maple Shade, NJ

    Supercharger Routing App for iOS, Beta testers wanted

    Sometimes I'm still seeing new entries to the Beta sign-up form, so heads up, the app (Replug) has left beta and has been available on the App Store for a bit now: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/replug/id1279136790

    Got a new, white Model 3, and the quality is dreadful [Humor: Model 3 toy]

    Considering you can't get in to drive it to the SC, I'm not sure how they'll fix these issues. Although I think I'd prefer those wheels over my Aeros.

    Car hit while parked in NYC; Sentry mode partial capture

    It’s very quick because you’re not really taking it on/off. The 2 Velcro straps stay in the trunk, so you’re just opening the trunk and folding it in/out. It does block the rear ultrasonic sensors, so I don’t advise you drive with it. Although you can still summon the car forwards, but not...

    Car hit while parked in NYC; Sentry mode partial capture

    I live and park in NYC, and I also keep one of these folded in my trunk all the time. It folds flat into the trunk, with the velcro parts on the cover piece that opens into the under-compartment. I try to remember to fold it out every time I park in a parallel parking spot that has a chance of...

    Used Model 3 Price higher than New??

    Used ones on the market are likely LR models, because for a long while last year, that was all that is available. The range/battery is the biggest differentiator for the price, so I wouldn't say its unreasonable that a a used LR model still costs more than a new SR+ model.

    6 vs 7 seats, 2nd row movement

    We currently own a Model 3 and are thinking about upgrading to the X to have more space. We're having a hard time deciding between 6 or 7 seat. We've seen the 6 seater many times, but have never seen the 7 seater in the 4 different show rooms we've been to. So we have some questions on the...

    Supercharger - Egg Harbor Township, NJ

    Was here 2 nights ago and can confirm the chargers are working. The supermarket is still closed, but doesn’t seem to affect charging.

    Supercharger Routing App for iOS, Beta testers wanted

    Yeah that is correct, you can do that now. At the time of my comment in September, that feature was not available yet in any Teslas as far as I was aware. Now it's a native share option, and in the current version of the Replug beta, you can share the route from Replug to your car now.

    Supercharger Routing App for iOS, Beta testers wanted

    Yeah most of those niceties are going to come later. For now I'm still tweaking the routing algorithm. Sounds good, all kinds of feedback are appreciated. To be honest tho, this app is still very new compared to those, and there's still parts of the routing algorithm I'm still building out and...

    Supercharger Routing App for iOS, Beta testers wanted

    Yeah I'd love to have that feature in the car nav as well! Glad you like the UI, I'm just going for something native to iOS, something usable from the phone instead of having to be on a computer. Great question, the most compelling reason is just a routing app you can use on a phone. The other...

    Supercharger Routing App for iOS, Beta testers wanted

    Yes, there is no linkage to your car. This is purely an app on your phone that accesses Apple Maps.

    The goal with this was to be a native app for iOS, so it can be used on your phone.

    Supercharger Routing App for iOS, Beta testers wanted

    Hello everyone! Over the last couple of months, I’ve been working on an iOS app for Tesla navigation routing with superchargers, not unlike the routing feature inside Tesla vehicles. For those unfamiliar, it is similar to most navigation apps where you input start and destination locations, and...

    Current state of the Egg Harbor, NJ Supercharger

    Are the chargers still active? That makes me feel slightly uneasy, as we're spending the Labor Day weekend in AC and I'm depending on that charger to get us home :eek:. I did recall seeing it still as open in the car's maps last night.

    A REAL wireless charging pad for the Model 3

    I received mine last week and it has 6 sticky dots on the back. The instructions only show 4. Maybe next week there'll be 8! With the 6 dots, it stays in place fine.

    Stateless Drive Selector Woes. Better Drive UI?

    After owning a Model 3 for just over a month now, I've had two instances where I had a panic moment when I realized the car was not in the gear/drive mode I thought it was and slammed on the brakes just in time to prevent a collision. Both times were in parallel parking spots, where I had to...

    HPWC vs NEMA 14-50 for outdoor home charger?

    I had the same dilemma and went down both paths, initially deciding on a NEMA 14-50 for outdoors. My car is parked in my backyard which is completely exposed to the weather, so the electrician installed it in a weather proof enclosure. 3 weeks before taking delivery of my Model 3, after reading...

    DIY Chrome Delete with Plasti Dip

    Curious how the base of the rear view mirrors look. Looks like they were not folded when spraying. How does the base look when folded? I can imagine that being overlapped with different coats as you spray to get it when folded and unfolded. That, and the door handles are what's stopping me from...

    4/18 Invites

    Finally took delivery yesterday 6/19 in NYC. Car was in the body shop for 3 weeks to repaint the rear bumper (Pearl White). Invited and configured 4/18 with original delivery date 5/29. Repainted bumper looks great, although I never saw how it looked before. No issues with delivery and car so...

    4/18 Invites

    Configuration opened and placed 4/18. 233xx VIN on 5/9. Delivery was scheduled for 5/29 at Red Hook, Brooklyn (NYC). Got a call last week, delivery has to be pushed to 5/31 because the car is arriving late. Got another call few days ago, has to be further pushed to 6/13 because the rear bumper...

    White Paint Bumper mismatch

    Also in similar boat as some others here. Was supposed to take delivery 5/31 in NYC but just got a call today that my car arrived with mismatched rear bumper (VIN 233xxx). They’re sending to a shop for repainting and turnaround time is 1 week. Ironcially, even when it’s ready next week I still...

    Install Wall Connector before or after receiving car?

    Yeah he set it at 40A at the HPWC because my breaker is 50A. Knob 8 on the dial inside. Gauge 3. Should be plenty if I want to upgrade to higher amperage in the future. I was told it can probably go up to 100A.

    Install Wall Connector before or after receiving car?

    Took the advice of some here and got the NEMA 14-50 converted to a HPWC today. Now I'm at least getting some indication that it works (green standby light, according to manual). Just got assigned my VIN yesterday too, so hopefully just a few more weeks to go. Don't see too many pictures of...

    Install Wall Connector before or after receiving car?

    Got it, just finished reading that thread and it answered all my questions. For the record here, my breaker doesn't have a TEST button, so it appears it is not GFCI. I'll be switching it to the HPWC anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem (according to that thread). Thanks!

    Install Wall Connector before or after receiving car?

    Thanks everyone for all the tips. I'm gonna get in touch with my electrician to swap to the HPWC soon. When I initially did the install, I gave the electrician the spec sheet for the HPWC and said I wanted wiring to eventually upgrade to this, but for now I just want it terminated with a NEMA...

    Install Wall Connector before or after receiving car?

    I'm looking to take delivery of my 3 in about a month and want to have my charging setup ready. In my 2 years of anticipation waiting for this car, I already had an electrician install wiring terminated to a NEMA 14-50. But I was foolish and didn't consider that I might be plugging and...
