I'm scheduled to get a Solar Roof installed. I currently have an old shake roof that has been damaged by birds occasionally pecking at it -- hiding nuts and/or retrieving nuts. I'm wondering if anyone has had any issues like that after their solar roof installation? I am assuming the wood...

I seem to recall a thread where people posted pictures of their Tesla solar installs, but it was mostly regular panels -- not the Solar Glass Roof. Regardless, I can't seem to find it anymore. Are there any mega-threads of people posting photos of their Solar Roof installs? If not, can people...

I need a new roof and would like to add solar, but can’t decide which way to go. I have an updated contract from Tesla with the new pricing for a Solar Glass Roof + 1 Powerwall for an estimated $48,000 after tax credits. I also got quotes for some SunPower panels and a new composite roof...

I drive big dogs that like to put their head out the window. One of the disappointing things about the Model 3 is the rear windows that only go half way down (unlike Model S). I’ve been hoping the Model Y is different than the 3 in this regard. Now that some deliveries have happened I’m hoping...

I have a SolarCity (now Tesla) install in Hawaii. I seem to get zero power generated a few days per month. It does get cloudy sometimes. I don't know if those days correlate with the no-power days because I rent out the property most of the time. Is it possible that it's just because of clouds...

I'm ordering one Powerwall to start with. My energy usage is borderline. One might suffice, but two would be better. But it's a lot of extra money and I might be ok with just one. Does it complicate things to add another one later if necessary? I know it means getting the crew out again and...

Anyone have any sense of how long the backlog is for getting a Solarglass roof? I just placed an order. I was hoping it would give me a "delivery" estimate, but didn't see anything. Maybe I need to finish completing the steps they request after you order. I heard somewhere that it's more than a...

I've long been curious why Tesla seems to roll out software updates in a seemingly random fashion. I realize there are some features that are geographically specific and may require different programming due to regulations, road differences, etc., in different countries or states. But it seems...

My sister just bought a used 2013 Model S (60 KWh battery). She can't seem to find a way to retract the side mirrors before pulling into her (narrow) garage without doing it manually. I think the newer models can do it automatically / electronically. Was that not the case for the 2013 cars or is...

Tesla’s mid-range Model 3 could actually just become it's standard range car, with a bit of time and some production cost efficiencies. Here's my logic: Tesla has been promising a 220 mile "standard range" Model 3. In the meantime they recently introduced the "mid-range" version at 260 miles...

Are there any known issues with the Performance Package (P3D+) going over speed-bumps or potholes? Just wondering about the large 20 inch wheels and lower suspension and if that has affected anyone in real life or if I'm concerned about nothing. I intend to order the P3D+ soon, but kind of...

I know Tesla is going to open a factory in Shanghai and another in Europe, but presumably those will be used to fulfill demand in Asia and Europe. So it seems they will need a lot more capacity in North America to satisfy demand in the US, Canada, etc. when new models come out: the Model Y...

I’ve seen some videos and stats where it demonstrates that the P3D is about 1 second faster from 0-60 (as advertised). But when you see them drag racing next to each other it appears they are basically the same after initial acceleration (the P gets a boost initially but then they seem to drive...

I am considering purchasing a used Performance Model 3. The ones that were ordered early came with free supercharging and internet for life. Does anyone know if that stuff transfers to a second owner or is it just for the original owner? Thanks

i haven’t seen this covered anywhere so presumably it’s a non issue, but how is the turning radius of the Model 3. It’s not critical to my decision but curious nevertheless if it’s good, bad, or somewhere in between. Thx

Has anyone had any trouble putting a large dog (like a 100 pound Bernese Mt. Dog) in a Model 3 back seat? I assume it would fit, but also wondering about the window in the back since it doesn't roll down all the way -- and my dog likes to stick her head out the window.... Anyway, just wondering...

Just found this. It seems like a steal: https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/45248128

In the forums, is there a way to bookmark or save a particular post or thread (besides bookmarking in my browser)?

I’m on the fence about ordering the Performance model. I prefer the 19” rims to the 18” but 19” is not an option for the P. And 20” is too big. What are the chances that if I order the P with 18” that I could find someone to swap for the 19” wheels if I paid the $1500 upgrade plus shipping? I...

I'm thinking of upgrading to aftermarket white seats and a white center console wrap, but wondering if there are any other after-market white accessories such as white door inserts or even a white center armrest. Is it even theoretically possible to retrofit those pieces (even if nobody makes...

I'm considering a Model S purchase (and canceling Model 3 order), but when I sat in the front seat the headrest felt too far forward. I couldn't tilt my head back comfortably and resorted to tilting the entire seat further back than I would prefer. I probably should have inquired while I was at...

The configurator clearly shows 0-60 in 3.5 seconds even before the Performance Package with 20" wheels is offered / selected. So what do the 20" wheels do in terms of performance? I'm thinking about ordering the P w/out the Performance package (the 20" wheels look too big to me), but just...

If you could only keep one which would you keep?

I'm considering the 20" Performance package, but it appears the (red) calipers and brake pads are larger -- which is a good thing, except I wonder if that would preclude downsizing if I decide 20" is too big. Would a 19" Sport wheel fit as well?

I still have the edit button. Having second thoughts on a couple options. I paid the deposit and have an “order number” from June. If I edit now will I lose the free internet thing?

I want the Performance model for the white interior option. But in the configurator if you choose Performance you have to choose between 18" and 20" wheels. I don't want 20" (more of a bumpy ride when not on the highway) and I don't like the look of the 18" wheels. The 19" inch look great and...

Perhaps a dumb question, but I don’t know anything about electricity. My intuition tells me that it requires more power / energy to get the extra acceleration. So theoretically the range should be reduced unless Tesla put a better or bigger battery in the car or Tesla is artificially limiting...

I was configuring a Tesla on the Tesla.com website and it shows a "Destination" fee of $1,125. My Tesla.com account is associated with my California address, but I may be moving here (I already own a place on the Big Island), so I was wondering if the destination fee is standard regardless of...

Sorry if this has been covered, but with Tesla growing exponentially how will they handle all the service that will need to be done on their cars? I have an ICE car (waiting for a Model 3 still) and can get it serviced at dozens of places nearby, but it seems like people need to take their cars...

I know there are already a lot of threads about the S vs. the 3. I don't want to rehash all the differences. But I'm looking for opinions -- hopefully as objective as possible. My heart is telling me to get an S but my head is saying a 3 makes much more sense for my personal situation. I like...
