NEMA 14-50 outlet is getting installed today in the garage. I imagine I will have a say in which way it gets oriented: up, down or sideways. I assume it is generally agreed that suspending the UMC from the outlet is not a fantastic idea. Do most people angle their NEMA 14-50 outlets up, and then...

It is, isn't it? Existing links land on Customer and Product Support | Tesla Support Are Liberty Mutual rates still good? What insurance is everyone getting now? There is a ton of threads but none seem current and they are fragmented. I had a good quote from Liberty in April on three cars...

Three things went wrong with my first carwash yesterday. Like buying insurance, having the Model 3 washed was one of the things I never looked forward to and put off as long as possible. I took delivery on July 2, and this was my first carwash. I have three more days left before not having...

The idea for the poll came to me as I was driving 91 freeway three days this week. My answer would have been different last week. To balance it out, I also posted the "favorite feature" poll.

I hope the admin does not edit my poll again. "Everything" is not an option. I considered allowing more than one choice, should I?

A colleague got 2018.26.x (I am still on 24.1) and noticed the following unwelcome change in the interface. As he approaches the car, say, to stop charging and put away the UMC, the trunk won't open until he pushes the door handle. I am not seeing this behavior, and neither did he before the...

A software company will typically have a website where users can report, vote on, and read up on bugs, so that the company knows the size of each issue, and users don't waste time reporting the same bug. Does anything like that exist for Tesla? Either run by company or one of the major user...

The Toll Roads (SoCal) advised me that Tesla windshields block the regular transponder, so I have to use the external. I ordered the external and it got here. It's bulky and, despite my initial impression, goes on the front plate bracket, not the back. Good thing, too, because that's where the...

I posted about my experience joining Waze Carpool and posted my referral code at the end. The post got edited with "Reason: removing referral code and referral program." Where is the policy regarding posting referral codes posted? I only found Forum Rules which states that signatures cannot...

As most of you, I have been using Waze forever. As most of you, I noticed the addition of Waze Carpool a year or so back. As most of you, I concluded that it is not for me. Well, something tweaked with the advent of what Tesla likes me to think of as my new electric lifestyle. Between the new...

The instructions seem straightforward enough, and most have said that they configured theirs easily, but I have tried with two clickers (for different doors) and struck out with both. It says you may have to hold the button for up to 30 seconds. True? I am not exactly using a stopwatch, but it...

So, three things of a nitpicky nature. Wouldn't kick her out of bed for any of them, but willing to complain to friends over a beer. I cleared out the right side of the garage and made wife park SUV in driveway on the left against the still cluttered side of said garage. The idea is to squeak...

My ISA initially offered me an 8 am slot. He then called to say they are closed at 8 am and would I accept a 9 am (I did). I later spoke to the delivery center, and they confirmed me at 9 am, but said they would, in fact, be open at 8 am because of high volume, and did I want to switch back. I...

He must be the only person I know who willing went from a Tesla to a non-Tesla. He bough an S-Class MBZ instead. Perhaps leased. Perhaps better for his taxes, I am not prying. He loved driving the Tesla. He hated "always having to charge it". Whatever that means. With the $500 HPWC + labor...

If you arranged for a third party financing, and your lender paid Tesla by wire ahead of the delivery, as is Tesla's requirement, did you consider or discuss your option to refuse delivery -- if there is something seriously wrong with the car -- either with Tesla or with the lender? And in the...

Did you guys see this in the delivery appointment letter, or has it changed recently, or did my ISA make this up? This is not how my CU rep explained it will work, not what others have described happened, and not what I would consider reasonable, or, in fact, doable. The CU will not cut me a...

Some questions on driving dynamics, such as Autopilot features and issues, apply equally to all models. Posting them in one model thread limits the audience. Posting them in this forum seems to be against the guidelines since it's not "about Tesla the company". We have to pick between two...

They asked me for my financing details: name and address of lender, amount to be financed, and asked to make sure the registration and loan info matches. They named the delivery location, though not the time. The "Update Design" link went away (or whatever it was called just yesterday, I...

What will a Tesla do (I really wish there were a forum for common Tesla model questions; I consider posting such questions in the Tesla forum, but it says that forum is for discussing the company) if I engage AP and then fail to respond to warnings, in fact fail to do anything? Say, if I pass...

This question is for current owners who got EAP. Feel free to answer in long form, but I’ll throw in the poll just in case. The underlying assumption is that for $6000 anyone can get EAP down the road when the time becomes right. Was it a good call to get it for $5000 upfront? Thanks! (I...

Called sales to say: dude, where's my car? Got expected answers. At the end of the call asked if I get $1000 or $500 back if I change the color to black. The ISA (Jen) said they have recently rolled out a new "Edit Design" interface, and that currently there is no charge for making changes. I...

In the spreadsheet that I am using as my fret aid https://sites.google.com/view/teslamodel3invites/vin-reports/waiting-for-vin/midnight-silver-metallic there are seven 3/22 configurers and eight 3/23 configurers listed as waiting for VIN. Are they really?

Those who configured and have not gotten the VIN assigned -- have you tried the HPWC trick lately? If not, would you mind trying it now? I resolved to stop refreshing my shopping cart with HPWC in it, which was showing my RN and "This is a gift for another VIN" in the dropdown. I figured a...

On the configuration page, all six colors look legit. Possibly because it shows the car from the side. So you dither for a little bit between Surgical White, Base Price Back, Fire Brigade Red, Just Like Your Neighbor's Model S Silver and Smurf Blue, before, hopefully, settling on Space X Gray or...

Has anyone tried and been denied? Is there a clear stated policy on the refunds, or has anyone had a conversation with Tesla about it?

I don't know how typical my layout is. I have a two car garage and a two car (side-by-side) driveway. For years I had my garage cluttered with stuff and parked two cars in the driveway. In honor of a $55K Model 3 acquisition, I cleared out half of the garage and plan on putting the Tesla inside...

Please respond from experience, not hypothetically. Maybe you don't drive much. Maybe you have free charging at work. Maybe you live next to a Supercharger. Maybe you are just that cheap (right, after dropping $55K on the car...) Maybe adding a new 60 amp 240v line just was not in the...

Do hardcore Waze users find life easier or harder with Tesla?

I have applied for the loan with my credit union. I am looking at ordering Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit since I am not wild about the look of Aero hubcaps. I am starting to look into solar roof panels (probably won't happen) and various home chargers. I am trying to meet people at the company...

What was the extent of your experience with Model 3 before ordering? Not reserving, ordering. Putting down the additional $2.5K and picking options.

The community of the Model 3 (I like how you guys write M3 so coolly; there is that momentary Pavlovian jolt of the memory of that M3 and every erection, sorry, I meant reaction you have ever had when a friend or a coworker gave you a ride in one; I really have to learn to use "M3" in reference...

This sounds too good to be true and I believe I would have seen this by now in the forums, but I will share nonetheless. On my unsuccessful trip to the Fashion Island showroom, where their Model 3 I was scheduled to sit it -- yes, you schedule a test drive of a Model S, but a sit-in in Model...

One can think of the cost as $5000. Or 10% of the cost of the car. Or $80/month. What does it buy you? According to the configuration screen: * Auto lane changing * Autosteer * Automatic parking * Summon Is there more? Is there less? What do those mean to current or prospective owners...
