    Powder coated wheels

    What is hyper-dip? Looks great. Sorry. This is an old post. Just seeing now. Ha. Should have googled first. I see it now. Competitive with plasti-dip.

    southern CA gutter vendor recommendation for solar roof

    I had my gutters done by: https://www.theraingutterspecialists.com/ Very reasonable estimate, completed job quickly and without issue. I had a couple of other estimates from other vendors and they definitely tried to tack on a Tesla tax for themselves.

    Happy Solar roof solar-versary to me

    High temp was only 77°F today. That could also explain an uptick in efficiency. Guess I’ll keep track over the next few days when it warms up again.

    Happy Solar roof solar-versary to me

    The recent “tropical storm” did a great job of washing the roof. Production is increased a bit.

    Happy Solar roof solar-versary to me

    So, you’re manually turning off your car charging at 4pm so you can sell power back for a few pennies more. And then you manually turn the charging back on to save a few pennies. I really just have to smile at the effort you put into saving a few pennies. Keep up the good work. I love manually...

    Happy Solar roof solar-versary to me

    What effort are you referring to? Plugging the car in? Updating the software in the car? How is what you’re doing any simpler? Please explain.

    Happy Solar roof solar-versary to me

    I think either way is pretty simple, but off-grid is still better than on-grid no?

    Happy Solar roof solar-versary to me

    Got the model Y updated to charge on solar. put about 15 kwh into the car today. truly a game changer. I can really see the next generation of all this technology allowing for clean, off-grid urban mobility.

    Happy Solar roof solar-versary to me

    Officially 1 year in service today. This took forever to sort out and get installed. Tesla corporate is probably the worst company I've ever had to deal with. The local crew was great and if not for them, I probably would have given up and abandoned the project. Anyway, we needed a new roof...

    General chit-chat in "For Sale" threads

    Panel Gaps, Burbank service, nightmare

    The car still isn't completely satisfactory. But I will say the Van Nuys location was so much more helpful. They took care of the 2 biggest problems left from Burbank's incompetence. Hatch looks like it belongs on the car now and the driver fender that had been bent and scratched by a bodyshop...

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    Best case scenario, say Austin matches Fremont production at some point... You will have a 50:50 chance of getting a 4680 (hopefully soon, and hopefully eventually exceeds)

    Model Y wireless phone charger doesn't work with iPhone 13 pro max

    5 watt wireless charging is useless even if your phone does fit. Such a slow way to charge. If you really care about wireless, you should retrofit a Magsafe charging puck to replace the Tesla charging coils. Or just use a wire and charge from the usb-c port. For most new android phones, I think...

    Tesla's amateurish service lives up to its bad reputation

    Disheartening to see so many apologists regarding Tesla build quality. Tesla claiming these gaps are "within spec" is ridiculous. My car has been in the shop for 3 weeks now, been told it was ready 4 times, it still looks like crap. No other car manufacturer has such horrendous quality control...

    Model Y Performance or Model S Plaid?

    I just had a few days with a model 3 performance and it's certainly fun and definitely more power than my current model Y LR, but both of these pale in comparison to the time I had with my P100D. There's nothing else like that available. The Plaid apparently is a couple notches above the P100D...

    I should've rejected it

    I'm a sucker too. taken my model Y back to the service center 5 times now. they tell me it's fixed, I go and pick it up. either nothing is done, something is done part way, some things are now worse. my car smells like it's been painted by the body shop but the invoice says they applied touch up...

    Panel Gaps, Burbank service, nightmare

    Was notified via app that if I didn't pick the car up today, I would be charged $100/day. Went to go get car, and of course it had not been worked on yet. Service rep was very nice, but since it was Sunday afternoon, there wasn't anything he could do for me at that point. Heading back up...

    Panel Gaps, Burbank service, nightmare

    Took delivery of model Y LR in white on Dec 3rd. They dropped it off and said if there are any panel issues or any other concerns, note them down, make an appointment and they would take care of them. Of course, the soonest appointment was a month out. They basically talked me out of refusing...

    21" Referral Arachnid Wheels - Satin Black

    Bought these as Silver referrals brand new in January 2018 from a forum member. Never tracked or raced or anything. Sadly the P100D lease was up in October 2020. So, the Michelins lasted about 2 years or 20k miles. if that gives you an idea of the type of driving done while these were on the...

    I’m still so annoyed that a company that’s desperately trying to sell solar can be so difficult and intransigent to deal with. Glad it wasn’t just me.

    Volume failing on bluetooth and media....

    Just started having this exact same problem. Going to assume the system is crashing when pairing Bluetooth. Going to dry deleting phones from tesla and pairing again. Wonder if it was an Apple Bluetooth update or a Tesla update that is causing this.
