    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Not sure I agree with this (I agree there is no fixed/procedural timetable, I am referring to the political timetable) Not passing BBB bill would be seen as a pretty big failure on the parts of the dems, do they really want to go into the 2022 mid-terms without having passed their "signature"...

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    "This applies to people who have been delaying deliveries for six months or more."

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    Understood that you can do this RIGHT NOW, the person I was responding to claimed they could do this for the next 5 years, as in the market wouldn't catch on and used prices would drop, e.g. "you can essentially drive a brand new Model 3 every year for next to nothing." I find that highly...

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    Well if the market was rational then used car prices for Tesla's (and EVs in general) would have already have started to be affected (to the extent that they are confident that this bill will actually pass and become law which is far from 100% at this point) If it hasn't yet I am sure it will...

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    Manchin is opposed to the union provision of the EV credits, that is that union built cars get an extra $4500 credit He is not opposed to the overall EV tax credits in any article I have read -- would like to see a link that says otherwise...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Nothing is certain about how it will work until it is passed and signed by the president. Wanted to note that the tax credit being discussed is NOT part of the bipartisan infrastructure proposal - it is part of the reconciliation bill that is being hammered out by the dems and has not been...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Not clear to me that Tesla throwing a huge fit amounts to anything. From the union-favoring provisions currently in the draft version it seems pretty clear that the dems aren't worried about hurting Tesla's feelings. I agree it is going to be interesting for Tesla to have so many orders...

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    They sell OBD extension cables with an on-off switch, makes it much easier when you need to disconnect/reconnect, just flip the switch I bought mine a long time ago so I am just linking to one as a reference, not recommending this in particular ...

    2018 LR RWD

    I would say its above average (I'm at 301 miles with about 27k miles, mid-2018 LR RWD)

    What will I lose at 50,000 miles when warranty expires?

    I think the general rule of thumb is don't get warranties for things that you can reasonably afford to self-insure.

    18 Months: I must be doing something wrong

    No warranty work but I did have to glue that little trapezoid magnet back into the charge port cover with epoxy so yea, its been pretty unreliable :)

    Tesla is cooking my feet

    Not just me apparently, just ran across a Reddit thread (hope it ok to link it here) Anyone else experiencing really hot air being blown on their feet (to the point it starts burning if HVAC is not turned off) : teslamotors

    Tesla is cooking my feet

    Nope, if I put it on auto the foot vent is selected, I have to take it off auto to deselect it

    Tesla is cooking my feet

    My car is sending way too much heat to my feet - they are getting so warm that it is uncomfortable. It seems like it started this week after installing 2019.40.2.1 although I am not sure it is related. My HVAC is set to automatic everything and my temp is set at 70, I tried lowering it to 68...

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    I asked Slacker support if they were aware of any changes in Tesla's slacker accounts for those of us who were previously able to play any song on demand once per X time and the person who responded basically re-iterated how Slacker plus works and that you never get to pick which song plays...

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    I contacted Slacker and suggested they allow Tesla owners to upgrade to Premium Slacker by paying for the difference in price between Slacker Plus and Slacker Premium subscriptions. This is their response: "We have offered that option to Tesla. Unfortunately, Tesla has declined to provide...

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    Great, I'm glad I am not the only one. It sounds like some owners never had this feature to request any song, maybe this has something to do with us being early adopters and was something changed with later slacker accounts and they finally went back and made it the same for all? The issue...

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    Amazing, I didn't realize that this wasn't a standard feature (being able to play a song specifically on demand). This thread has been a real-eye opener for me.

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    Ok thanks. I assumed that the account type we had was not one of the standard Slacker 3 accounts but something special between Plus and Premium that Tesla had setup with Slacker. I assumed that since Tesla is buying these in bulk they could have that type of arrangement, e.g. a custom...

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    Wow, since I have been using the ability to directly pick songs to play daily for 18 months I assumed it was a standard feature of the accounts that Tesla had negotiated with Slacker. If that was actually a bug and not a feature and the current behavior is correct then that really sucks...

    Slacker on demand not working?

    Hi fseir, I think there are two different things being discussed here. First, a recent software upgrade made a user-interface change such that if you search for a song that has an exact match (e.g. voice command: Play When Doves Cry by Prince) it will still not automatically play that song...

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    Thanks for the reply. The version of slacker that comes with Tesla is not the free version and it does allow you to request a song directly and play that song (not just songs of a similar genre). What it does not do (that I understand Slacker premium allows) is for you to keep playing the...

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    For about the last week Slacker has been acting like free slacker in my model 3. That is I cannot pick any song to listen to - instead I get related songs but not the song I request. I've used slacker for 18 months so I understand how Slacker in the Model 3 it works (cannot listen to same...

    Am I being petty about my repair? What would you do?

    Take the $4500 check from the insurance and don't get it fixed. Every time you wash the car and see the spot think about that extra $4500 you have in the bank. :) If its just the clear coat that is missing (not sure what you meant by the finish is clearly gone) you may want to find another...

    Model 3 Weird Smell

    I tried spraying Lysol into the air intake in the frunk (remove the plastic cover) but after the first application it wasn't completely gone. I'm going to try again this weekend, if that doesn't work then I will take the advice mentioned earlier in this thread and buy something specifically for...

    slacker accidental thumbs down

    If I thumbs-up song A while playing my Favorites Radio in slacker and then later am listening to a "station" as a result of searching for some other song B sometimes I notice that when song A plays it does not have a thumbs up set. This makes me think that the thumbs-up and thumbs-down do not...

    Correct way to disengage autopilot

    Pressing on the accelerator has no impact on either TACC or auto-pilot for me (they remain engaged). Are you doing something different?

    Self-Driving or Not?

    Zero chance this will work - in the age of the internet as soon as they make an exception for one person word will spread and they will have to sell it to everyone for that price. But please, go ahead and try.

    Vendor Tesla Model 3 | DIY Ceramic Coating

    I have seen that some people talked about putting it on glass but I would not put it on a glass surface with wipers - I believe Tesla specifically recommends not using any glass treatment on the windshield. I didn't use it on glass

    Vendor Tesla Model 3 | DIY Ceramic Coating

    In terms of body shop work, the level of effort to strip a ceramic coating from a panel is insignificant (compared to the other work they would be doing) - this isn't like clear coat, it is not that hard to remove

    Vendor Tesla Model 3 | DIY Ceramic Coating

    I applied Gyeon Syncro to my car the day after I picked it up. I also had purchased "Griot's Garage 11296Z Starter Orbital Kit" in case I needed to do any polishing. This was the first time I've ever used a dual-action polisher or attempted anything more than waxing - I watched a few YouTube...

    Chip inside Charge Port Door

    nickpants, not sure that is the same thing - the piece we are talking about is plastic and is attached to the charge port door. When it is missing the charge port works fine, the only thing that doesn't work is the "press the corner of the charge port to open" function - it can still be opened...

    Little black "piece" fell out of my charge port?

    Mine fell off within the first week, Delivered early June, VIN 19xxx. My understanding is the "push to open" charge port feature won't work when it is missing - I used superglue to put it back on

    Paint Smudge

    Honestly I would be more concerned about them making it worse if they tried to fix it : removing the clear coat, buffing the paint and then re-applying the clear coat.
