    Supercharger - Kettleman City, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2017, 24 V2 + 16 V3 stalls, lounge)

    It seemed like a spot came free every 2 mins. There was a worker giving away Cheez-It and bottled water to folks in the queue which I thought was really nice.

    Don't buy FSD for $2k more. [from 2019 - FSD upgrade not available for 2k at this time]

    The groupthink seems to be that Elon will make good on his statement and that folks who purchased FSD will get the chip upgrade. What if Elon gets ousted as the CEO? I'm not saying that it is likely. What you feel just as confident about getting the upgrade if Tesla was run by another CEO? It's...

    I got the update last night.

    Sentry Mode

    This is pretty standard practice for software companies. They put out a minimum viable product (MVP) and continue to iterate based on feedback. I would much rather have them do this than to delay weeks or months for updates that still won't be perfect. From what I've seen the enhancements aren't...

    CA tint and front license plate fix-it tickets

    I got a fix it ticket for no front plate by a meter-maid in San Francisco. I have XPEL 35 tint on the rears and have not received a ticket for tint.

    Advanced Summon Coming Soon

    Elon tweeted that advanced summon was going to roll out in 6 weeks. You can summon the car to your location and it can also follow you around! He said 6 weeks which probably means 2-3 months. Autopilot hardware v2+ required. Elon Musk on Twitter

    Anyone else with glass defect?

    My rear window seems really blurry at night. It seems okay in the daytime. Could it be the same issue? The crappy thing is that I already got it tinted. I initially thought it was due to the tint but now I’m wondering if it’s the glass.

    Norcal Bay Area Model 3 Tint/PPF Group Buy

    I had Alex tint my car about 6 weeks ago. The look through the tinted rear window is still a bit hazy at night. It isn’t clear. Anyone else experience this? I went with 35 on the rear.

    To get Carpool Sticker now or wait until 2019

    If you wait until 2019, then they would be good until Jan 1, 2023. If you want the stickers for the longest duration possible then apply as soon as the new year hits.

    Red vs. Blue: Post your best pics and vote

    I love my red 3 even more after getting it. I was on the fence between blue and red and I'm glad I went for red. That being said, I still think the blue is nice. The red is just my favorite.

    Sun protection - what is most cost-effective?

    This BUT if you are uncomfortable with it, wax the car. I say wax because it is more forgiving. If you forget to wipe off the wax completely, you can just remove it when you notice it and no harm no foul. With wax you would have to do it more regularly than if you applied a ceramic coating...

    Received Red California HOV Stickers for Model 3

    Yes, it all depends on your situation. That is why I said IF your goal is to have the stickers for the longest duration possible. I am still on the fence but it is mainly because I have a red 3 and the current sticker is red, which I prefer. I have no idea what color sticker they will issue next...

    Received Red California HOV Stickers for Model 3

    I spoke to someone at California ARB today and she told me that the sticker is good until Jan 1st of the 4th year. She was explicit that if you got the sticker this year, it would be good until Jan 1 2022. She confirmed that if you get it next year, for example Jan 2, 2019, it will be good until...

    3D Maxpider Kagu Mats for Model 3

    I have a matte black wrap on the center console and the door trim. I think it looks good, but I think any of the wraps would look good with the Kagu mats.

    Red - paint quality issues

    The Tesla Service Center that I went to in Sunnyvale, CA does do detailing. They have a full-time detailer on staff. I complained about some etchings in the paint. It looked like bird droppings left on too long and they buffed it out using a polisher and some Meguiar's compound. I'm not sure if...

    How to apply ceramic coating with partial PPF

    Cquartz, Opticoat, Gyeon, and all the other ceramics that are mentioned frequently seem safe to apply on PPF. I don’t believe any of those explicitly state not to apply to PPF. Maybe this specific brand has something in it thats not safe for PPF?

    3D Maxpider Kagu Mats for Model 3

    I got the mats early this week from PartsCatalog. I LOVE them. They are expensive and I was worried that they weren’t going to live up to expectations but they look and fit like premium mats. No regrets at all. As others mentioned, the silver 3D logo is one I could do without but it doesn’t bug...

    Norcal Bay Area Model 3 Tint/PPF Group Buy

    I got my full front and tint done here. It was XPEL for both. I have mixed feelings about it. I think he did a decent enough job but it wasn't as clean and precise as I had hoped. To be fair though, I haven't seen a ton of wraps on the M3 so I don't have much to compare to. Given that they are...

    Huper Optik vs 3M Crystalline

    Was XPEL Prime XR tint considered? It’a comparable to Crystalline and cheaper.

    XPEL Prime XR?

    XPEL Prime is a ceramic tint. It is comparable to Crystalline, but at a lower price-point. When I was getting estimates, I was always quoted more for Crystalline. I've only had the XPEL tint for a couple of days but I like it so far.

    Home Delivery

    I live in San Francisco and although I picked delivery at Fremont, they scheduled for Home Delivery. I live in a really busy area with very little parking so I had it arranged to be picked up at the Tesla showroom in SF.

    California Home Delivery?

    I think delivery is becoming a bottleneck so they sent a bunch of cars for folks in SF to the port to be home delivered. That’s just a theory though.

    California Home Delivery?

    My home delivery is scheduled for next week and my ISA said it will be a Tesla employee driving the car from the Port of San Francisco to me. The delivery person will go through everything just like at a delivery center.

    Elon says AWD and Perf orders start at end of next week!

    I just called and spoke with a Tesla sales rep and they said you cannot edit your configuration to AWD. If you've already configured, you're locked in to that motor and the only things you can change are color and wheels. The only alternative for those who have configured and really want AWD is...

    Vendor Tesla Model 3 | DIY Ceramic Coating

    Back when I was detailing cars as a hobby, the Porter Cable polisher was the one that most people used for light to medium polishing. It's pretty safe and easy to use. The current model is a Porter Cable 7424XP I believe. It looks exactly the same as the one I have. Having a polisher definitely...

    XPEL Prime XR?

    It’s the California markup. Also, I think the large rear windshield on the 3 really jacks up the price.

    Hi folks, Long time lurker finally joining the club! I just ordered a red 3 and now I am looking to customize. So many aftermarket options! One thing I definitely want to do is tint. I was looking at Crystaline but one of the dealers that I reached out to about XPEL Ultimate Plus uses XPEL...
