    Tesla Solar vs ....[third party competitors]

    in MA I have not heard stories of a single customer happy with Tesla solar. A friend of mine had the solar tiles put on his roof and they did horrible shoddy work. Getting good support is near impossible. I am a fan of Tesla but I wouldn't ever give them my roof with the way that division is...

    Solar Panels

    So I am in MA as well. 19.5 seems insanely high. I am paying them .14 I believe. You can do better. You actually might be better off doing a low interest loan and buying. Same initial outlay, and the monthly might be the same. Shop around. .05 with an average use of 1000KWH a month, is...

    Solar Panels

    I am a current sunrun customer. Have been for a while. I am also doing their Power Purchase agreement. This is a MUCH larger conversation, but I would scrutinize the deal. I find dealing with their Admin behind the scenes is a little disjointed. What is the per kWh rate they are quoting? I...

    Alarm quirkiness

    Thank you! This seems super stupid. If there's people sitting in the seat when you exit the vehicle and nobody moves off those seats, the alarm should stay disabled.

    Alarm quirkiness

    Whenever I run into a store and leave the family in the car, I get frantic and angry calls from my family that the alarm is going off and killing their ears with the loud radio. I though the car is smart enough to recognize occupants in the seats and it will not engage the alarm until it...

    Oscillation/shudder in M3AWD when less than 1mph

    Had my front motor replaced a few months back. Since then, I have noticed that there is a slight shudder in the car when decelerating. It happens right as the car is coming to a stop, around 1MPH. It's enough to be annoying. Also noticed it if at a stop, I slowly hit the accelerator to inch...

    MA - "Right to Repair" Question 1 is heating up - (Voting 'Yes')

    I vote yes. If the car manufacturers are funding the no argument there’s a reason for that. $$$$$ The only reason Tesla sells us parts in MA is because of right to repair. Hopefully this will force Tesla to not be so draconian with modifying our vehicles.

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    Folks, I’ve learned a ton installing the trunk kit and am finally buttoning things up. Does anyone know how to remove the white clips on the trunk lid? I’m trying to reinstall the plastic cover and it appears that the 4 white clips need to be removed before you reinstall. I can’t get them off...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    Has anyone flashed their hannshow controller module? There's a .bin upgrade that you put on a formatted sd card. They say you need a 16GB or smaller one, and the only one I have is 32GB. WIll this work?

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I have to say, the Hanshow support is a bit maddening. The fact that they have ZERO solution for folks with cars in the 2018 model year and the whole CAN Bus connectivity is concerning. For this reason I would not recommend Hansshow. Their response time via whatsapp is inconsistent at best...

    Where did you see a factory grommet on the left side of the car? I just installed this and saw no opening. I ended up drilling the hole. Was fairly easy.

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    So are you saying that my trunk can open while the car is in motion? Will the Tesla offer one work with the Hannshow one and will they sell it?

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I am struggling with this Hanshow trunk kit. I purchased the v4 update in which they sent me a new latch but also a new wiring harness and a few other wires. The CAN bus adapter they sent doesn't fit my car. I have a 2018. But I do have this orange cable that goes in the can bus connection on...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofits in New England?

    My 9/2018 Vin 77xxx Model 3 AWD is in Dedham as we speak getting the HW3 retrofit. I tried to directly schedule this last month and they told me my VIN wasnt selected. I went in last week for a few minor warranty things, and they told me there is a few campaigns they are fixing on my vehicle...

    Overpaid for FSD, No Early Access - Class Action Time?

    Honestly I agree with you. I’m a satisfied owner, would never give this car back, but Elon and Tesla need to be held to some ethical standards. Of their whole schtik wasn’t no negotiation, the price is the price, then we can compare the pricing model to the typical car dealers. For this reason...

    Since going to V10 I have noticed a lot more phantom braking with AP. Also in spotify I see no play lists or anything. I cannot seem to search within spotify as well. Is that not an option?

    Be Careful parking at Logan-Got a ticket

    I did fight it, provided pictures and explanation. They flatly denied my appeal and told me I can waste half my day to come in and see a arbitrator. While I want to stick it to them to prove a point, my time is worth more than the $20 ticket, not to mention I would have to spend 7.50 in tolls...

    Be Careful parking at Logan-Got a ticket

    Thats not practical. You park there because you are flying somewhere. The chargers are too slow to sit in the garage and pay their daily rate for it to even make sense. The only purpose of those chargers is to plug in, leave your vehicle and come back when your trip is concluded. Otherwise...

    Be Careful parking at Logan-Got a ticket

    $20 on top of the $135 I paid for 3 days?? I honestly dont know why they have chargers in there and there's an expectation of using them temporarily. People in that garage are there for long term parking. I couldnt move my car if I wanted to from 1000 miles away. Unless FSD became a reality...

    Be Careful parking at Logan-Got a ticket

    Folks, if you are parking in the logan central parking, be aware you CANNOT use 110 outlets that are right at the EV spaces. I got a $20 ticket for plugging in, even though there's no signage saying you cannot do it. I only resorted to this because all the chargers were taken by priuses and...

    EAP getting better in Boston area

    EAP still completely screws up I95 North and Southbound travel at Exits 19 ABC. It consistently misses the final turnoff for the exit. I stopped reporting bugs and my voice is hoarse from it. I also frequently have to take over as it downward revises the speed limit and I nearly get rear...

    Recommended Portable Compressor

    I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078LYX5YF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works pretty well. Inflates pretty quickly. The digital PSI guage is slightly off by about 2PSI but I can work with it. Does what it needs to do and is small.
