Good point. I fall into that trap often.

Haha! There’s Murphy’s Law for you… I pull, then get the blame. Car is a ‘22 that I’ve had since Dec ‘21. I scheduled appt vía app and they almost immediately responded confirming no charge but didn’t didn’t say it was/wasn’t PPF. Then also included a line item to the service call labeled...

You're right, it really does. But if that was true, shouldn't I be able to simply peel it off? It doesn't give that feel.

(See this link, TMC might be having problems accepting images?) I knew there was PPF applied at factory on rear quarter panels but didn't know door handles had it too? Or is this something else? It almost looks like temporary protection film you see on electronic devices that are intended to be...

That’s a haul. Impressive mileage. Thanks for sharing. I wasn’t expressly going for mileage but I could only get 312 wh/mile on my trip from Dallas 👉 Telluride 👉 Dallas.

You are absolutely right. Some of the best people around.

Warning: I’m attempting humor below. Don’t take me seriously. From me (I’m not a judge): “Your Honor, stay in your lane. Your job is to interpret the law. Not to tell me what is safe!”

Only if there are other cars, right? There isn’t anything inherently dangerous about it. Legality doesn’t imply safety.

BTW, from what I understand, Ourway is ironically pronounced more like YOUR•ey (I think). From Googling its pronunciation, it sounds more like the 'oor' in Coors Beer without the leading C or trailing S.

I drove 2,610 miles round trip from my home in Dallas, TX to the San Juan National Forest earlier this month. I spent roughly a week using Camp Mode at Cayton Campground along the San Juan Skyway loop. Of all the many outdoor activities you can do, one thing must be at the top of your list --...

👆+1 Like many people, I errantly held this belief for many years. But I think you’re right — it IS LEGAL in every state (not just California) to change lanes in an intersection and within 100 ft of an intersection.

My experience has been different. 10.69.2.2 (2022.20.17) has regressed slightly from ..2.1. Mainly with the ”Costanza Maneuver” (I explain later). I have most of the same remaining issues as you. The late/never signal of intent to turn left or right baffles me. Seems like this would be a...

If you are using Python’s asyncio then carson may be of interest.

Interested. Please share your updates when you can. I'm convinced there is a bug in the suspension preferences. I already don't like the Olds '98 bouncy ride so I set all damping hard to the firm/sport end. Even still, I think it forgets occasionally and I have to switch back to normal and...

Yep, I can understand that. There are multiple reasons why someone will reserve a vehicle. It’s starting to feel similar to commodity futures. I don’t expect I’ll ever own a Cybertruck. But I know how I felt while in “reservation purgatory” for Model 3 and S and what I might have paid to get out...

touché :)

For one guy (me), I felt like a rock star having so many autos listed in my account. As shown circa Sept 2021: 2019 Model 3 Midnight Silver Metallic - my current car at the time. 2022 Model S Red - the one I ordered at beginning of 2021 after the refresh was announced. 2021 Model 3 Blue - the...

If you are concerned about abrasion, PPF is probably the better choice. I chose Ceramic Pro 9H for easier cleaning (I attract many bugs with my driving habits) and the terrific shine.

@Dave5147, you and I may have been right next to each other! I picked mine up on 12/18 too... Tesla Plano Gallery? I also did ceramic, thanks to Sebastian at https://swautoshield.com/ in Carrollton. He's done all four of my Teslas.

I think you mean the Bolt instead of the Volt (which was discontinued a few years ago). In either case, @ReddykwRun, I would encourage you to continue looking at the data.

I get the following from carson when I dump it on my MS. My M3P doesn't have the attribute at all so I guess if bioweapon_mode exists at all??? Just a guess. 'climate_state': {'allow_cabin_overheat_protection': True, 'auto_seat_climate_left': False...

Interesting. I don't agree. But I kinda understand (maybe)? But mostly I'm curious which EV you are considering for your next purchase. What do you think will be on par with M3? Or, which EV is closest to the M3 that you would be willing to sacrifice _fill_in_the_blank_ feature because the...

I guess I could google if honey badgers are nocturnal but I don't think so. So get some sleep and it will get here faster! lol

Oh, gotcha, I inferred incorrectly that it was the 1st time you ordered the stuff. Totally agree.

Very true. But, I’m curious, was it coincidentally the 1st thing or were you waiting for the app redesign do you could order it?

I just started looking into it also. But without adding solar (nor do I presently have it). My time-of-use plan schedule is $0.158089 per kWh during the hours of 15:00-19:59 and $0.064705 per kWh any other time. Feb '21 was hard for many Texans. I would love to have that backup system. I...

Cool! Now I know where to go whenever I take the Texas-to-Lithuania road trip. I can never 'not' think about Seinfeld where George Costanza converted to Latvian Orthodox just to be able to stay with a girlfriend. Who, by the way, immediately dumped him went back to Latvia.

I think it's improved. But that's an adjective reserved for releases that contain bug fixes and small changes to better handle certain situations. This release was billed as a 'redesign' which, in my opinion, means it's not that great and a lost opportunity to clear the deck and start fresh...

@SailorDave - I just reached out to Sebastian for my new car. Indeed, he does do PPF. Here's his contact - https://swautoshield.com/ Best of luck.

Sorry, my brain went to screen saver when you said "ordered April, delivered July" ... Oh, right, paint protection. Try Sebastian Gamez with Southwest Auto Detailing. He did my ceramic on my cars. I'm not 100% he does PPF but ask him. He'll steer you in the right direction anyway.

Purgatory - the best word I know to describe the time between "haha YES" and taking delivery. I'm right there with you, @Pezpunk. I ordered much later than you (Feb 13) but when 6-12 weeks became June, and June became August, and August became February, I just about had a fit. Once I calmed...

Does anyone know why the car's browser won't send its cookie when initiating a new WebSocket? Just to be clear, I'm am not talking at all about Tesla's streaming endpoint. I'm playing around with a different web app. It can GET/POST just fine and sends a session cookie just as it should. But...

That’s beautiful, man. You’re an artist.

My understanding is the arachnids will not fit the model 3. Is that a true statement?

After the Yanny vs Laurel and Blue vs Gold dress spectacles, it's no wonder how many different opinions there are on car color. Personally, I hear/see Laurel/Blue, love the discontinued Silver, chose red for my M3.

The last I heard, Elon says these wheels will be available ‘later this year.’ Has anyone heard any updates on time/cost? What’s your favorite aftermarket wheel design that’s not the standard Aero or 19” Tesla upgrade?

I chose red. I am typically a grayscale kind of person. Black, white, silver, MSN, or anything in those spectrums. And I nearly pulled the trigger on MSM. But I love this particular shade of red. It’s a darker crimson red more in line with OU Sooner red. And I haven’t had a red car like this...

Did they say it was the 12 volt battery? Or the primary battery?

I imagine it was a short read. I'm summarizing here but I think the entire release notes said, "Bug fixes and improvements." As a software guy myself, I understand how release notes (and what goes in them) can be political sometimes. But that's short. Even by conservative standards.

DYI? Or you do you have a place lined up?

Is Port of San Francisco a foreign trade zone equivalent like Alliance Ft Worth? If so, could Tesla technically ship the car internationally (but literally from Port of SF to Alliance FTZ in Fort Worth) until your transaction is complete (funding) which would allow for shorter time to delivery...

No. My VIN never did show up on UnitedRoads.

Whenever step two of any process starts with the phrase "immediately and rapidly" you are either trying to get away with something or there is a design flaw. And it's not the former in this case.

Not with regenerative braking. And if I didn’t have regenerative braking turned on, I wouldn’t like giving the person behind me a misleading indication that I am about to slow down.

I agree. I'm the only one I know who does this but I like to set my cruise control to 20 mph in a school zone. That lets me look exclusively at my surroundings without having to keep glancing over to ensure I haven't exceeded 20 mph. The first time I tried to set 20 mph in my M3 in a school...

I should have done this last week. Better late than never.

Now go do your first supercharger. It should have been obvious to me, but not until I saw 8.25% tax on my supercharger receipt did I realize that the gov’t needs to catch up on how to properly tax automobiles.

It was a scary feeling last year when Harvy prompted a gas shortage and I could get any for a while. Same thing is happening in Carolina now. I feel more secure knowing I can plug in almost anywhere.

That’s awesome! Congrats, @jdirik!
