Great questions! #2 is interesting... I would hope not but one never knows. For an advanced tech company such as Tesla, it just doesn’t seem that they should have any problem at all immediately removing even number from one account and placing it into another it just seems to be one of the...

Did they make you send a email request or just over the phone? They made me submit via email to transfer our new M3.

No, the only people that need to be there are the ones on the Title of the car.

Not a dumb question at all, that’s what I said. That was just their excuse. I couldn’t really figure it figure it out but even the management team stuck with that story. And then the tech service line also stuck with that story. If they don’t get it together fast they are going to have issues...

2-11-18 was the day we configured and Today was delivery day! This car is crazy cool! Here’s an update on the transferring of the car out of the original owners account. Tesla has become more than a bit overwhelmed and I think annoyed at the transferring of cars. I’ve been told this entire time...

Made a new friend Saturday we also picked up our new M3 same time as bnsfengineer! The only Quality Control issue we found were two. White tape residue left on the interior in one spot from protective shipping plastic covers. Soon as I found it the delivery person made it go away! The more...

Yesterday ours, it was hidden inside the car when we picked it up!

Thanks, yes it worked out well!!

Ours, it’s was in our M3 when we picked it up yesterday!!!!

We got our car and it’s crazy cool!!!

We pick up our M3 3-3-18. Tesla via Chase Bank offered us 3.34% 72mo 20% Down. I went with my CU and got 1.95% same 72mo and 20% Down. Two days and counting!

Yes!

We are picking up our M3 this Saturday morning 3-3-18. When the DS called us, as soon as the VIN was assigned, he gave us the choice of either one and said it made no difference as the car was still waiting transport from the factory. They did say we could pick it up Friday but we have no time...

I spoke to him and will take our M3 this coming Monday!

Thanks!

I remember seeing a post about a shop in Santa Ana that works on Tesla wheels and calipers that was highly recommended for powder coating. I can’t find it now. Can anybody help point me to that shop in Santa Ana, Ca?

It’s like Vegas, roll the dice and Hopefully get a M3 very soon! LOL, we shall see. Glad to help with the blog entertainment!

That’s exactly what I did. I sat with him using his account and configured the car. I paid him and we signed our personal contract with each other the moment I hit enter on the configuration. You are correct there is absolutely no point in buying a reservation number that is not configurable at...

If you can look at the wire jacket and read what type it is, then the chart above to see the max Amp rating. (THHN #6) has a 75 amp max so you are good with just changing the breaker. You should be good if you won’t exceed you main limit. Most modern homes now have 200 amp main line supply.

Thanks, I thought the M3 tapped out at 42amps!

Yes, and if that is already there even better! 80% useful limit of a 50amp breaker would be 40amps. You need to make sure you set the dial switch to the proper amount/proper limit inside your Tesla wall unit when it’s installed. The M3 has the capability of charging at 42amps max.

Trust with protection! LOL, I also obtained a written contract between us that included language specifically stating that he could not use my credit card for anything other than this vehicle purchase and a copy of his drivers license and his personal vehicle info.

I want to say with the rubber coated flex conduit and all the fittings for the conduit it pretty much doubles the cost of the wire. I want to say for the 25 foot run that I purchased it was about $150 for the conduit the fittings and the three wires. I ended up with about 2 feet extra on each...

Will keep you updated on the VIN. See the screen shot.

It’s just about a dollar per foot. Walters wholesale electric is great. See the screen shot. They will cut all of the wire to whatever length you need including cutting the flex conduit for you. They have outlets all over city of Anaheim, the city of Brea Los Angeles and the IE. Their employees...

I’m doing this now because I just can’t wait. Configured 2-11-18, all my info into MS owner account with his M3 reservation number. Paid him $1750 plus I paid the build fee with my info and my CC also on his account. Waiting for VIN to be assigned, to transfer into my account along with my Day...

Configured 2-11-18, white with 19”, So. Cal, North OC. waiting for the VIN....

Amp wire chart.

Almost done. I ran this, adding a NEMA 50amp from my inside Sub, added the Tesla Wall unit on a 100amp home run with #3 THHN inside rubber over metal flex, to the main outside panel and 4 -110v receptacles on a 15amp breaker on the inside Sub panel. Bought the Gen 2 Tesla Wall unit from a eBay...
