    DiY HomeLink Install using in car Service Mode - No need for Tesla Service or ToolBox

    yeah i agree. i almost kept my old one from my 2018 model 3 when i sold it and that would of been a slap in the face if they would not let me use my own purchased hardware in my new 2023 model 3

    DiY HomeLink Install using in car Service Mode - No need for Tesla Service or ToolBox

    Is PPF or ceramic coating necessary?

    howdy, I would say my personal opinion is that PPF is a necessity if you are doing a lot of highway driving. I have a 2018 black model 3 and got Xpel PPF on the front end ( hood, front, mirrors ) and after 3+ years the car looks great and the PPF has saved my bacon. If you can swing it i...

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    My car got the newest update last night to 2019.32.2.2 so i figured i would see if charging back to 100% gave me my missing battery range. Nope, the car barely made it to 241 and the battery graph showed full but hung there without a full completion message. I stopped it after about 20 minutes...

    Hey all. So for those of us with Enhanced auto pilot purchased before the price difference and new offerings that Tesla did to those options will we get the enhanced summon automatically when its released to the masses? I do not own the FSD 2k option for my model 3 but paid the 5k for the...

    I am in a love/hate relationship with slacker in my Tesla model 3.

    Connecticut -- Latest News on Tesla's efforts in the State

    mociaf9, no i was not charged with any NY tax at time of purchase. perhaps its one of the ny laws for sale of vehicles to out of state buyers? But NY does have a higher tax rate than CT. A co-worker of mine purchased a car in Ohio a few years ago and paid tax to that state when picking up the...

    Mid Range waiting room

    @mytesla Hi , I don't think it would cause a delay for you and I would start the third party financing on your side since these cars are promised to be delivered before year end and most financing offers usually have a 30 day expiration on this I believe so you are in the window. To be honest I...
