I opened my ticket on December 12th and got my check yesterday! That was an unexpectedly fast turnaround time.

Are you sure that it isn’t the lane departure warning? It causes vibration if you are leaving your lane for any reason including lane change without using the turn signal. You can turn it off under autopilot > lane departure warning and see if that fixes it.

I’d love a “stats” screen that is similar to what some video games show. It could have things like autopilot miles, lifetime Wh/mi, highest/lowest trip Wh/mi, longest trip, etc.

I know you’re just joking on this, but when the iPhone was first released and dropped in price after the first month by $200 Apple issued a $200 rebate to everyone who purchased at the original price in a period before the announcement and $100 store credit to everyone who purchased between...

The only time I experience any difficulties with the phone key at all is when the phone is in my back pocket. In those cases I have to make my ass face the car to unlock. The signal doesn’t like going through people.

That shouldn’t matter at all. I had a rim fixed that had a half banana sized chunk (width wise) literally missing after hitting a curb once. That one cost $150 to fix. (This was around 15 years ago)

Bring them to a wheel repair place. They should be able to fix them all for super cheap. I think the last time I had a pair of 20’s that got bent it cost me around $50/wheel.

Polishing compound is sanding. The polishing compounds you use have abrasives in them that equate to sanding down your clear coat to even it out and remove scratches and the like. It is sanding except you have finer control over it and wont go down to bare metal on the first pass.

If you are waiting on the spoiler, there isn’t a need to. You can line up the spoiler and tape around it to frame where it will go. Then just rub with a polishing compound. It’ll remove any coating that you have in that area to allow proper adhesion.

Yep :) This is the rest of the car:

I got put in jail on a road trip when accelerating to allow a truck to merge in behind me. While I appreciate the need for auto-pilot jail, its just way too easy to hit on a road that already has an 80 mph speed limit. I wish they would just put in a speed limiter where you physically can not...

I love the look of the new emblem. I feel that the default makes the rear look too tall and narrow. The car looks like it has a more aggressive stance from the back simply with a logo change. Here is mine with it.

Yes. My left turn signal started to not work about 2 weeks ago. As of two days ago, sometimes when I press the right side all the way down, it will only register the 3 blinks and turn off again instead of holding the signal. Fortunately, my mobile service appointment is set for Monday.

My lifetime Wh/mi is 338. I have never seen below 300 Wh/mi

Alex said 18 when I picked up yesterday

Are you sure? I ordered mine on August 15th and it shipped today.

I wasn’t concerned with battery degrigation when suggesting leaving the charge limit at 50%. It comes from a charging efficiency standpoint. It takes more power to charge the car from 79-80% than it does to keep it a charge from 49-50%. Again, negligible if you’re only gone for a week. If...

Both of the examples you posted cover up the front vent which is crucial for cooling the battery in the 3. There is a solution that attaches in the same place, but puts the plate higher as to not cover the vent.

I would leave it plugged in, but I would also set the max charge level to like 50%. If you are only going away for a week or so, there is no point to leaving it plugged in. It’s not going to die in the meantime.

I had them leave the front emblem on and just chrome delete it. For the back I have the abstract ocean T E S L A logo that I’m going to put on instead of the huge ‘T’ logo. I just need to wait 3 weeks for the PPF and ceramic coat to fully cure. As far as the tint. It is NOT...

Yes. This was part of the group buy. I did: Stealth PPF Black Satin chrome delete Black Satin powder coat 50% tint on all windows (not windshield) Ceramic coating

I’m not a fan of black wheels either, but I still got mine powder coated in a satin black. I think it turned out AMAZING.

I just picked up my car this morning. I am absolutely thrilled with how it turned out! I can’t wait to get it in front of a real camera with good lighting.

Yes!!! I did 50% tint all the way around (not windshield) since I’m not a fan of super dark tint and hoped the white interior would help make it look lighter. Alex talked me out of 70 front and 50 back. Stealth wrap, black matte chrome delete, black satin powder coat on the rims, and ceramic...

I went to a different shop, but I was quoted 900 and 1 day turnaround. I did a larger package and got a lot of discounts as a result though.

Please tell me that’s mine! Blue P3D+ with stealth film and chrome delete. I dropped it off and flew to China. Im on my way back today and am going crazy to see my car again!

There is a form at the bottom of the link in the original post.

I’m not sure. I was going to add myself to the spreadsheet after I got it back. I pick up my car either Saturday or Tuesday depending on how early the powder coat place gets me in. I’ll ask Alex when I pick up. Btw: I’m not sure when you picked up your car, but I think I saw it when I dropped...

I’m having my car wrapped with a full body PPF and ceramic coating now. It is a TERRIBLE investment. So why am I doing it? I wash my cars every other weekend and ceramic coatings are straight up magic. I have it on my wife’s car and I can seriously spray it down with a hose and drive around...

My car is with this shop now. He got me in 9 days after I first contacted him.

They said the 18" wheels don't fit with the larger calipers . The 19's fit just fine.

Alex was extremely responsive with me. I reached out to him on Yelp and had a reply within minutes and follow-up questions were just as quickly answered. Not only was he responsive, but he was able to get me scheduled for a full body wrap, chrome delete, tint, ceramic coating, and powder coat...

A BMW M3 is more expensive than a 530i. You pay a lot for performance.

I can give the other perspective. I have a P3D+ and was sort of on the fence. Now that I have the car I can say that I would have regretted it if I didn't get it.

Not bad! I have yet to see under 300. With autopilot in my morning commute I'm at 318, but that's a lot of stop and go. I'll have to take a road trip with autopilot to see how it is on the open road.

I called them before I modified the order. They said that the unlimited LTE and unlimited supercharging were based on the $2500 deposit date, not on the modification date. That being said, my status still says Pay Per Use Supercharging but I only picked up the car this past weekend.

I named my P3D+. “Treat Yo Self”

The red sticker will be valid until Jan 2022. We will be getting a new color sticker in January that will last until Jan 2023. You will not be issued a red sticker in 2019

The reservations were delivered at a different location. The cars that were on Kato road were ones that weren't paired to a local buyer.

I picked up my P3D+ today from Fremont and the first thing the delivery specialist said to me was "Let's take a look at your car and go through all the features before we get to the paperwork." We went through the entire car as the first thing we did and it was INSANELY BUSY there today. I'm...

My appointment is for later this afternoon. Does this mean that I can just go in at any time and pick my car up?

Not a prior owner Reserved: 7/26/17 Configured: 7/27/18 Edited: 8/15/18 (changed from P3D+ Black/Black, EAP to P3D+ Blue/White, FSD) Email came on 9/6, picking up on 9/8. VIN: 556XX

No. Hell, I still have the edit button. This is a fair point. It’s not a cheap car by any means. Plus I’m picking it up in Fremont so its not like it needs to be shipped anywhere.

I just got the email today saying my car is ready for pickup this Saturday (2 days from now). Nothing has changed in my account. No request for filling out any paperwork. Am I right to be worried that I’m getting passed along someone else’s reject? P3D+, Blue/White, EAP/FSD.

This is common for every car manufacturer. I sold cars for a long time. It wasn’t uncommon to have well over a hundred miles on a new car when it was sold. Probably about 80% of the cars sold had 50-150 miles on them. Another 15% had 20-50 miles. Under 20 was much more rare than over 150.

I had the same thing happen to me and called up Tesla. The response when I asked if I really pushed my order out by an additional 2 months was (paraphrasing) “If you just added EAP or FSD, your date wouldn’t change. If you changed other things, you may have depending on the production schedule...

Ceramic coating is just the new waxing. It just lasts much longer. Color correction is just getting rid of swirl marks and surface scratches that any new car would have to make the paint completely smooth which makes it ultra shiny. Ceramic coatings are HUGE margin for these shops. You can...

Me switching the interior color is a direct result of changing the exterior color. I think the white clashes with the black exterior, but since I was switching to blue (I want to get the stealth PPF and think the satin texture on the blue looks better than the black) I also changed the interior...

I just changed my P3D+ from Black/Black to a Blue/White this morning so I fully expect this to be the case.
