    Solar install with no more room in main panel

    I will be installing solar and powerwall. My main electric panel has no more room for new breaker. But Tesla said it is ok not to upgrade panel? I asked the project advisor how they can workaround it but did not get clear respond. He just sent me the tie-in strategy they would follow (as...

    Sudden range drop if battery is around 65%

    I have this weird range drop condition for a while and I wonder if anyone observes something like this. My car is 2018 LR RWD and whenever my car is parked with about 190~200 miles left (~65%), the next time I start the car (even within couple hours), it always drop about 10-15 miles. If I park...

    M3 Auto Insurance - what are you paying?

    Thanks. I just got a quote from Progressive, the rate is about the same of my Geico new rate (Collision is also about the same), so I guess Progressive is also increasing the Model 3 collision premium too.

    M3 Auto Insurance - what are you paying?

    I am with Geico and collision deductible $1000. I have been owning my Model 3 just past a year. Just the collision premium, it was $188 per 6 months for the first year. They just sent me the new statement for the next 6 month, the collision premium changes to $380 per 6 months. Not sure why...

    Learned something new today.. thanks Mercedes...

    I don't care what that sales rep said is true or not. By dissing other car company won't make me interested in the car he is selling at all.... I hate this kind of sales. Mercedes should train their sales better.

    USB stays on after car powered off

    I recently discovered that my USB port and the cigarette lighter are still on even after the car is powered off. It just happened several weeks back so I suspect it is the software update. I have an external dash cam plugged into the cigarette lighter port and I found that it is still running...

    Charging $175 for checking rattle noise...

    Interesting to see the story from Tesla side is not consistent. I was there only for the rattle noise so probably that is why. I think my rattle noise case is similar to this thread just left this feedback to Tesla My issue is on the passenger side. I just use some tapes on top of that screw...

    Charging $175 for checking rattle noise...

    Thanks you for the info! I will take a look. I haven't paid that $175. The noise is annoying but thinking I could live with it for a while before deciding to pay $175 upfront without even knowing it could be fixed or not :)

    Charging $175 for checking rattle noise...

    Went to the service center today for a long standing rattle noise issue. I was told Tesla will charge $175 for the diagnosis to start with. Even after a road test, they deny it is something caused by Tesla bad assembly, they still will charge $175. This is the service center in Santa Clara CA...

    If I purchase AP thru website, how long will it take to become operational

    Ordered last Thursday and AP was activated last evening. No need to be on Wifi and the update can happen during charging. I was at work without connecting to wifi and the car was plugged in all day and it still gets the update.

    The Great Key fob unboxing

    If you just carry the fob without the paired phone, how do you start the car? Will the car recognize the fob and let you shift gear to Drive?

    New Delivery - Bad Paint Job - Opinions

    This is by far the worst issue I have seen over all the delivery issues reported on this forum... For me, it is a 100% reject. They are just trying to push the Q3 numbers by asking you to take the car and the compensation.

    Does everyone who ordered RWD before August have a VIN now

    It might. I picked up the car in early August and my vin is 606xx and it was manufactured in July.

    No LTE/Wifi connection temporarily after starting the car

    Usually this happens to me when I start the car in the morning for work, after the car sits in the garage for the whole night. For the beginning 1-2 mins of drive, there is no LTE or Wifi connection at all, as you can tell from the icon. After couple minutes, it will resume the LTE connection. I...

    What's your reasoning behind your color choice.

    That just tells how subjective it is when it comes to the color preference :)

    What's your reasoning behind your color choice.

    IMHO, model 3 looks much better in lighter color, such as white and silver. They stand out the lines of the car. That is why I choose white as I have multiple silver cars before. For darker color like blue and black, I just feel like the lines of the front are all blurred together. Red somehow...

    Charge port flap - sticks out?

    I also found my charge port not flushed recently. It was pretty flushed at least a month ago. Not sure why.

    Model 3 everywhere!

    I was at Point Reyes national seashore (north of SF) last weekend, and there are 3 free charging stations at the visitor center and all 3 spots were model 3 with different colors! (including me). Also, when I was on my way there passing by Fremont factory, I saw three trucks loaded with model...

    Option for 'partial' EAP?

    Autosteering is a just a "small taste" of the future because it is not mature yet. Even Tesla calls it a beta version. People can choose to be a beta tester or not and I choose not to at this point. It is not like saying I won't buy AP forever.

    Option for 'partial' EAP?

    It is so interesting to see that many people talk about how good autosteering is and worth $5k. But in reality and from the way Tesla bundles this package, TACC is THE killing feature in this package at this point. I also wish someday Tesla can separate them out because all I want is TACC. But...

    First day on the AutoPilot trial.

    That is an interesting analogy but maybe a lot more people want steak, not just milk. AP should be the appealing point of the whole $5k/$6k package, not TACC, shouldn't it? :)

    First day on the AutoPilot trial.

    After 4 days of free trial, including two daily commute to work (30 miles round trip) and one weekend road trip between San Jose and Monterey (150 miles RT), I think I agree with most of the comments on this thread: 1. AP accelerates and brakes too aggressively. It tends to keep at the...

    Does everyone who ordered RWD before August have a VIN now

    No I think most of the June inventory were completely gone. I took the delivery early August and my car was manufactured in July.

    Why I Cancelled My Model 3 Order and am No Longer a Tesla Fan

    I had a similar situation as your. When they first offered me the time window for delivery in mid-July, I was also on a trip. They can not hold the car before my return (~ 2 weeks). A day before I returned, I emailed my sales advisor and asked him to search for a new VIN for me. He was pretty...

    I hate closing the frunk

    I did not check my car, but if the "T" is right on the latch, the green area is not what you show. It should be slightly lower in this red hood figure. I also feel the flexing even when I close with the recommended green area. If I do it right on the side of the logo "T", I feel less bend...

    Replacement key-cards unavailable

    Did you ask Tesla to block that lost card for entering your car? Is that doable by Tesla? Since you lost your wallet, I assume your lost your ID with the address on it as well. Presumably, someone found your wallet could track you down and enter your car... The probability is low but I am...
