    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    My wife’s 2018 Model 3 is now experiencing the squeaking after the ball joints were resealed last year. Has anyone tried the Moog upper control arms? Moog has traditionally been a good brand for suspension parts. $58 each on RockAuto. Left front: RK623788 Right front: RK623789

    Accident in my 23 S!@#^&

    California Image in Burlingame repaired my 3 in 2020. They are able to work pretty well with Tesla since the service center is less than a mile away.

    Supercharger - Williams, CA - 6th Street (LIVE 18 Dec 2019, 12 V3 stalls)

    Something interesting to note is that the Tesla Find Us page lists Williams' maximum charge rate as 150 kW, even though the Nav shows 250 kW: Either this is an error on the website or this Supercharger is currently being capped (hopefully temporarily). @ETC SS M3 's post makes me suspect the...

    MASTER THREAD: Tesla Insurance Services in California

    You don't need to use AAA insurance to have a AAA membership. Starting at $56/year, you have tows (3-5 per year at varying distances depending on membership level), hotel discounts, and most notably DMV services. Many car-related DMV services are available at AAA branches, such as registration...

    Supercharger - South San Francisco, CA (LIVE, 20 urban stalls)

    Slightly higher (1 or 2 cents) to keep incentivizing people to go to Daly City, since they have 40 stalls.

    Supercharger - Williams, CA - 6th Street (LIVE 18 Dec 2019, 12 V3 stalls)

    This Supercharger might be open? My dad is driving by there and the tape appears to be removed from the pedestals. He isn't driving a Tesla and mine is still awaiting repairs, so we can't test it. Perhaps someone driving on I-5 can check it out.

    Supercharger - South San Francisco, CA (LIVE, 20 urban stalls)

    Confirmed 20 urban stalls and two non-supercharger stalls. 10 stalls are charging only (one of which is handicap), and the other stalls are 30 min parking. The pay gate has been removed.

    Supercharger - Williams, CA - 6th Street (LIVE 18 Dec 2019, 12 V3 stalls)

    Taken this morning. Looks like there are 12 stalls, based on the parking and the charging pedestals.

    My 3 was hit by a teenager; what can/should be claimed for this damage?

    Just a quick update...damage came in at $12K and the other insurance is liable. Getting a rental and the waiting game for parts begins. I haven’t started the battle over diminished value as of yet.

    My 3 was hit by a teenager; what can/should be claimed for this damage?

    It's the black plate. The light is making the plate appear blue in the photo.

    My 3 was hit by a teenager; what can/should be claimed for this damage?

    I wasn't on Autopilot. The accident happened in Burlingame/Hillsborough, which is a very affluent part of the Bay Area. Check out the real estate there. The Land Rover had scratches on the bumper, a half removed fender flare, and a hole in the radiator. It's the 60s throwback plate that you...

    My 3 was hit by a teenager; what can/should be claimed for this damage?

    Thanks for the kind words about my wife! She is doing well. Yeah, I was surprised at how much the Land River moved, and that car had only scuffs! My car took the majority of the damage. I don’t believe so. If it did, it wasn’t enough for me to notice. I would too, but Ameriprise was...

    My 3 was hit by a teenager; what can/should be claimed for this damage?

    On Sunday, a 16 year old on a learner's permit made an unprotected left turn and apparently didn't see me: Fortunately, I wasn't going very fast, as the speed limit on this street is 35 MPH. My Model 3 was delivered July 2018 and has FSD. The airbags didn't deploy and the car wasn't disabled...

    Something to consider is that Caltrain is currently working on electrifying their trains.

    Yes!! I go hunting in Willows (~10 miles north) and to Clear Lake (40 miles west, uphill). I've been waiting for this one!

    Supercharger - Palo Alto - Stanford Shopping Center (LIVE 5 Nov 2019, 20 Urban Stalls)

    There's at least 25 level 2 charging stations on the ground level of this parking structure: PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You Many EV drivers tend to either park there and not charge or plug in and not charge (it's $0.50/15 min for first 2 hours).

    Supercharger - Fremont, CA - Tesla Factory (LIVE, 4 V2 + 8 V3 stalls)

    Any way to listen to Dodger games?

    Looks like you can listen via XM: Los Angeles Dodgers Team Page If not, MLB At Bat is $20/year or $3.99/month. I tried listening to a game on TuneIn and the game wasn't available, even on the correct station.

    Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - Letterman Drive (LIVE 22 May 2019, 6 urban stalls)

    The Find Us page has been updated and none of the "Coming Soon" pins have been removed. So it looks like Tesla plans on having at least five Superchargers in SF now (this one, The Mission, FiDi, SOMA, and an unknown location).

    So out of the four Superchargers listed on the website (San Francisco, Mission, SOMA, Financial District), which hasn't been updated yet, this must be the San Francisco Supercharger...?

    SF Bay Area Superchargers

    With some people in the Bay Area commuting multiple hours (for example, from Tracy, Manteca, or farther), these Superchargers may be what is needed to make some of these commutes, especially with the Standard Range 3. San Francisco is a wild card as to when they will get Superchargers. The area...

    SR Model 3 owners getting more than they ever could have hoped for

    Seeing as how the weight of the Standard, Standard Plus, and Mid Range are the same in the specs, it appears that the Standard and Standard Plus 3s have software limited mid-range batteries. That means only two different types of batteries.

    Model 3 Software Update 2019.5.x

    Received the update this morning. Interesting because I am usually in the last 25-30% of cars on TeslaFi that receive updates. My only theory is that I received the update quickly because break-ins are a big issue in San Francisco.

    Autopilot Trial still a thing?

    My fiancee's 3 had a second trial offer after she upgraded to v9. The screen was stuck on a "downloading" page and we needed to perform a force restart. No indication of the trial since.

    No v9 yet, anyone in the same boat?

    Finally got 39.7.1 last night on WiFi!

    This is the same information I received when I called yesterday. Still on 36.2.

    Model X Wash Bay Area CA

    If you're in the Mid-Peninsula, I recommend Aqua Hand Wash in South San Francisco. This is a hand car wash and they do a great job on my Model 3. Here is a Groupon: https://www.groupon.com/biz/south-san-francisco-ca/aqua-handwash-and-gas

    From instagram: San Francisco Tesla Club ⚡️ on Instagram: “Get ready for 39 second gen Tesla supercharging stations in Daly City! It’s about time!! Thank you Elon!!! #model3 #modelx #models…” I just realized that 39 stalls will put this almost as large as Kettleman City!

    Supercharger - Daly City, CA (LIVE 5 Oct 2018, 40 urban stalls)

    This mall is crazy busy on weekends and during the holidays. Superchargers would definitely get ICEd if in a convenient location. Some of the Volta stations and/or the EV parking next to Volta stations get ICEd because they are close to Target, Macy's, and JCPenney. Probably the only reason why...

    Issues with firmware 2018.24.8

    I took delivery of my Model 3 on Wednesday with 24.8. This exact thing is happening. It feels like the A/C won't turn on unless I set the thermometer to 63 degrees. The app will say that the car is 75 degrees, so I set the car to cool down to 70 and it shows the heater on. I called Support last...

    According to Tesla - Any Deliveires that Dont have a contract already are delayed

    The bank didn't care about the timing. As long as you can sign the loan documents and Tesla is provided with a digital copy of the shipping label and the check from the bank, you should be good for delivery.
