I got my VIN...but I'd like to change my payment from cash payment to lease. Is it possible to do that without having to cancel and reorder? Whom do I talk to about that?

I have Eversource, too. And had no option to sign up to CS via Tesla. Tesla takes a maintenance percentage off the top. But I'm OK with that. BTW, Tesla did a poor electrical job at the service panel wiring and FAILED the local inspection. Tesla, to its credit, came out less than a week later...

Just had panels installed yesterday with Solar Edge inverter. ( BTW, installers and electricians were first rate. ) They said the Tesla inverter has yet to prove itself over the long run, as Solar Edge has. Hinted that Tesla may be having some problems with them. But did admit that a Tesla...

My install date was Dec. 22 and Tesla called to push it. I told them to push it all the way into March. My choice. I'm in CT. Please give us an update on how your install went. Good luck!

Thanks folks for the thoughtful comments.

I was scheduled to have my Tesla solar panels installed last week, here in New England. A major snow storm hit and covered the roof in ice and snow. I've put off my install until March, hoping for better weather as I am fearful of putting holes in my roof and shingles when they are frozen...

Please tell me more.

I know that the panel designs come in 4 sizes: S.M.L,X But in talking with the Tesla rep, I asked if it might be possible to add a panel or two to "tweak" my output. He did not say no. Said wait until Tesla site check. Has anyone been able to add additional panels?

Good to hear that some people had good Tesla response. My biggest worry is communication and response. My local installer is $7k higher installation cost. Hard to go with his very highly regarded local solar company at such a price differential. His company also offers Panasonic 25year...

I've been shopping around, too, via Energysage.com. (Highly recommend) Got a highly rated local company, Green Power Energy, to quote me a system slightly larger, 9 k vs 8k Tesla panels, but yes they are more expensive: $17k versus $10k for Tesla. Huge difference. Green Power uses Panasonic...

Kabillyhop, Thanks for the note. I found the Hold mode option. I could swear it wasn't there before. But..thanks for the rapid reply.

After my latest update to 36.2.1, I've had the opposite effect of what the update is supposed to do. I do NOT have a Stop Mode option. My regenerative breaking is now less than it used to be, and goes away at speeds under 10mph. Ironically, I "coast" to a stop more than before and have to...

Updated to 2.1 Have AWD. But NOT FSD. After update found that regenerative braking is MUCH LESS than before. And it goes away at speeds under 10mph. Did not get Stop Mode, either. So: do these features only work for FSD people?

My Elite Finish waterless WashMist does a good job cleaning the surface. But it's stymied by stubborn road tar, at bottom of door sill. Any recommendations for solvent or wash to remove road tar without marring finish (Pearl White)?

I agree. It is more pronounced than it used to be, i.e. from last Nov. when new until now. Used to go away above 20 mph. Now it keeps going until 35, or when road noise/wind covers it up. Is it the warmer temps? Sofware upgrade? Annoying if not a hardware problem..

The whine happens on slow acceleration up to about 40 mph in my AWD. It may still be there but road noise is loud enough to cover it. I have about 2500 miles on mine and up until about 500 miles ago, the whine would go away around 20 mph. But now continues up to around 35-40. A first I...

Was hoping latest update would solve blank screen problem on startup. Didn't. Worse now. Problem seems to only happen after overnight charging.

Was updated to 12.1.2 last night from 11.8.3. AWD, with autopilot but not FSD. Update says that I have "stop (red) light" detection installed (beta). But while driving on autopilot, not one red light was recognized all day. Anyone else? Reason?

Just got 12.1.2 last night, from 11.8.3 I have autopilot, not full self driving. But it says I have beta red light recognition. BUT...it did not indicate it recognized a single red light today. Confused...

Has happened to me numerous times on 8.3. I've even had it happen partially: was able to move car while screen was rebooting and dark. Waiting for new system to upgrade. Seems I'm way behind.

You might try getting AM stations on you smart phone and then blue-toothing to Tesla.

If your saying "I chickened out" to avoid a collision, you're absolutely right. I gave up playing chicken in high school

The luxury showroom is NOT for Tesla. Can't recall why small brand it is but I saw it few days ago.

AlanSubie4Life Thanks for that cogent and detailed reply.

Leopold, what you're saying is that emergency braking will not prevent a collision since if only activates when a collision is "unavoidable." It can't make an unavoidable collision avoidable.

The Tesla manual says: Active Safety Features All Tesla cars made since October 2016 come standard with advanced active safety features for elevated protection at all times. These features are made possible by our Autopilot hardware system and include: Automatic Emergency Braking: Detects cars...

Setting up Homelink on my Raynor Aviator (2005) garage door opener went pretty smoothly at first. TM3 synced with system and work for about 5 minutes. Then it dropped out and had to be continually re-link. Too frustrating. So I deleted the setup and decided to go back to the garage remote. But...

Simple solution for charging? Don't forget: there are 2 USB charging ports behind the arm rest. Run cable >> phone. No need to tap into the front USB ports for power.

I've noticed that streaming news apps, e.g. MSNBC, CNN,Fox - change their behavior without notice. Sometimes the app will stream the "live" news shows and sometimes they will act as a podcast and stream past programs.

Yes. You are not imagining the bumpy ride. Very stiffly sprung. Feel every bottle cap in the road. Tried lower tire pressure to 38...not much help. But still love the way it drives...despite the vertebrae crunching ride.

Is the ride softer than the originals? I've found the M3 ride very stiff and bumpy on OEM tires.

After working well for months, my car suddenly refused to be put in drive after having unlocked the car with my iphone key. Entered the car, stepped on brake. Seat went through adjustments, screen came on and all looked like it was working. Except I couldn't put the car in reverse or drive. Only...

I"ve had the autopilot-lane changing-exit ramp missing - stop sign blues like the rest of you. I'm also in my 30day free trial. This software, in beta, is not ready for prime time and should be given away free to all drivers. The standard of the software industry is to give beta software away...

How do I know if I have the newer seats? I have the same road problem. And if I don't have them, how do I get them swapped out?

I have the same problem with my AWD i got two weeks ago. VIN 103xxx. Please point me to the change in seats, springs that Tesla did as I haven't followed that solution. Thanks.

My AWD with 18 inch wheels seems to rock and roll with every little bump or crack in the pavement. Even the tiny ones. Seems very tightly sprung. A pretty rough ride. Anyone else feel this problem?

SiriusXM was streaming from iPhone app when I left car for the night. Worked well. App closed when l left. Upon return next morning car turned on and resumed streaming SiriusXM from the iPhone app...without me needing to open app. As if app was built into system. WOW

Some of us need a larger font size on the screen, so we don't need to drive with reading glasses or bifocals. Is there a way to change the font size? Seems like an easy fix....or update..

Must have just missed you today! That's my white one with the trunk lid up. I lucked out. Got there an hour earlier than my appointment at 1:30...did the paperwork..and the guy who showed me around was not terribly knowledgeable about details. Was out in about an hour...hope you enjoy your new...

Picked up my M3 at Kisco this afternoon. Maybe I saw you there!! The experience was mixed. Plus: the car was ready and in good shape. Minus: the walkthrough was mediocre at best. I knew more than the "rookie" expert, who left out loads of details like: how to put the car in drive! But he was...

I live in CT and am scheduled to pick up in Mt. Kisco. I am wary of paying full price in advance for a car that may not be there. So I am holding back on paying online by direct deposit. 1. I was told on the phone via salesperson in dealership I could pay full amount by personal check. Can you...

I'm supposing that your delivery point is Mt. Kisco, too, like me. I was assigned a VIN but it never appeared in my account. So I'm surprised to hear that yours appeared..then disappeared. My delivery date is Nov. 19....scheduled, that is.

I have a VIN. How do I track where the car is located?

The number to call for Tesla at Mt. Kisco is 914-218-8900 option 3. Spoke with a real person whose name was Kyle, I think. Said they would accept a personal check.

BTW, how did you pay? Did they take a personal check or was it a bank check?

Did you finally reach someone at Mt Kisco? I"m scheduled for 11/16 and the guy who answered in the finance department had no idea that Teslas were being distributed there. Was asking to see if they accepted a personal check.

This is funny. Almost. I called and was put through to the finance person. He had no idea what I was talking about, i.e. didn't even know they were the delivery point for Tesla. "I'm the new guy here." Said it was corporate policy to take a personal check up to 5k. Tesla would be no different...

I'm a bit fearful of pre-paying for my Model 3 online prior to delivery. Friends of mine have paid by personal check on Long Island. How have you paid for delivery at Mt. Kisco, NY?

Been 2.5 years since I reserved my Model 3. Got expected delivery date of Sept-Nov. Living far away on the east coast, I don't know what to expect and will probably loose the max Fed. tax credit. If it gets pushed even later into 2019, I may reconsider options and see what other car makers...
