I love my 2018 Model 3 AWD and was thinking about buying a Model Y for my wife next year. But now with all the improvements coming up, we are going to delay our next Tesla purchase. If we wait a year or two we can get a much better Model Y for the same $63K. In the meantime, my wife will keep...

Great report! Wondering what's the spec of your car and how many miles per kWh did you get during this trip? I have a late 2018 LR AWD. When it was new it used to show 310 miles when fully charged. Now it shows 282. I don't know if that is good, bad or as expected.

It is just a threat. If Tesla moves out of CA then 75% of it's top scientists and engineers will leave Tesla and start their new startup in Silicon Valley. Texas is for dirty oil industry. They won't even let their residents buy a Tesla.

Ameriprice is cheapest for me for full (may be excessive) coverage. Paying $70/m for M3 AWD EAP. Tesla quote for the exact same coverage was $116/m.

November 2018.

I paid $3000 for EAP and I am perfectly happy with that. I use autopilot and driver initiated auto lane change a lot during long highway drives. But I find autopilot to be dangerous on construction zone lane shift. So you always have to be alert and don't over-trust your car. I almost never use...

I am really loving the better wiper function and faster lane change since I got 2019.40.1 few days ago. It is raining on and off here in Northern California so the wiper update timing is perfect!

I bought at $76 back on 2013 and then again at $178 six months ago.

As a long term TSLA investor (since mid 2013), I gladly welcome this change. It will keep the company healthy and the customers are getting a pretty good deal.

My experience has been very different. My system was installed exactly a month after I submitted the signed contract online and then the system was turned on about two week later after receiving all the clearances from my city and PG&E. All my communications with Tesla has been very positive. I...

My system was recently installed and similar to yours except that my inverter is SolarEdge. SolarEdge inverters that Tesla installs has higher efficiency and better market reputation. Install the inverter inside your garage if you can. That way it will probably last longer. Make sure that Tesla...

I had a choice to pick Hanwha or Panasonic cells for the same online price. Panasonic cells have higher efficiency but the all black Hanwha cells looks nicer on my roof. Also, Tesla was not offering side skirts for Panasonic cells when my system was installed later last month. So I went for...

No, I haven't ask yet. As I mentioned, it is not a big deal for me as I have a physical picture reference of all the panels. I was not getting 'consumption' details on my SolarEdge account and Tesla has identified an issue with the Powerblaster setup. So they are coming next week to fix that...

Yes. For me the Tesla all always shows about 0.01% less than SolarEdge reading.

I just called the Tesla Solar technical support line at 877-961-7652. If you haven't got PTO yet then I would suggest waiting atleast a week after PTO before calling Tesla. If you ask now your request most likely will be rejected.

No. It only shows logical layout at the moment. However, I took a physical layout picture of the panel IDs so from the logical layout I can tell which panel is sitting where on my roof. I will call Tesla to see if I can also get physical layout feature added to my access.

My system was installed by Tesla earlier this month. Last week after seeing this thread, I called Tesla solar support and asked for SolarEdge portal access. It was approved in three days.

I placed my order on May 15th and our system was installed on June 20th. Tesla wanted to install it on June 10th but we couldn't take that appointment as we were out of town. We live in Northern California.

Thanks! After posting my question, I called Tesla and they gave me the option to choose between QCells 315w panels and Panasonic 330w panels. I decided to stay with QCells because it is all black and looks nicer. Both has the same warranty. In terms of number of panels, with Panasonic I as going...

I am on EV-A plan for last 5+ years. I just went Solar and my interconnection was turned on this week. Looks like PG&E didn't kick me out of EV-A. It wasn't clear if I will be allowed to stay on EV-A since my interconnection was after July 1st. For me, EV-A is far better than EV2-A because I...

I am on EV-A plan for last 5+ years. My new solar system was turned on today (July 5th). I don't have Powerwall. Will I be forced to move to EV2-A?

I am on EV-A plan for last 5+ years. My new solar system was turned on today (July 5th). I don't have Powerwall. Will I be forced to move to EV2-A?

Were your panels really Panasonic 330w ones? I thought that Tesla uses QCells 315w panels? Could you please confirm?

I am a novice when it comes to understanding benefits of different PG&E rate plans. I have EVA plan since 2013. My solar installation is scheduled for next week and I expect the system will be turned on maybe within three weeks from now. I am in Sacramento CA area with lots of sun light...

It used to be that Costco charged about $20 to rotate and balance tires not purchased from Costco. But that charge was only for the first visit. For subsequent rotations, it was free. Not sure if that is still the case.

I was at Rocklin CA Tesla store last night for charging my car and the lot is almost empty. Looks like inventory is much lower than usual at this location.

Zero + Nada + Nil By the time FSD becomes available, my Model 3 will be 10+ years old so it is pointless to spend any money now. I may just get a better looking, more exciting 2030 Model 3 at that time.

Lots of great companies from the past have disappeared. So yes, it is possible that Tesla also will be gone one day or be bought by a competitor. It is not big enough like GM to get government bail out should another recession like the one during 2007~08 happens. In my humble opinion, they...

Thank you. I just noticed at Costco that SunRun also has a battery storage solution call BrightBox. Will check with them.

Thanks for mentioning SGIP rebate. How does someone engage a non-Tesla installer in order to get SGIP rebate? $11,069 for one Powerwall before incentives sounds a lot ... do you agree?

Anyone ordered solar with powerwall since the new pricing has been announced? I ordered yesterday in California and here is my order details. I would appreciate if others can share their order details. One thing to note is that powerwall installation cost is extra. Thank you!

I don't think we should be using this forum for selling stuffs.

My LR AWD with Red paint and 20" wheel is now $4000 cheaper than it was last November. But looking at new pricing structure for auto pilot, it appears that those who just have EAP will get free FSD if that feature ever becomes available.

I'll buy a 500 mile Model 3 AWD if it ever becomes available. In the mean time, I will remain happy with my 310 mile AWD.

Yes, I keep it inside my swimming pant while swimming at our fitness center swimming pool.

I have a home wall charger and I work from home :) It cost me around $800 to have the charger installed inside the garage. The electrician had to run a 32ft steel conduit from the breaker box to the garage. I bought the charger and the electrician provided all other materials.

Hi Folks, There is lot of mention of 'Fairwinds CU' in this thread. I am considering refinancing to my Model 3 I purchased few months ago to a shorter term / lower rate. How is your refinance experience with them? I am in Sacramento CA area ... do they serve in this area? Do I have to be a...

I have a LR AWD and haven't seen a SR+ yet. My advice is if you can stretch your budget by $3K more, then go for the mid range one. You get lot more that way. One thing to consider is: the cost to insure a model 3 is significant compared to a fully loaded new Toyota Camry or similar car. I am a...

They will be changing price again in few days. I love my Tesla but this pricing-circus needs to stop. It will only make potential new customers to 'wait and see' and thereby hurt Tesla's sale and reputation.

I smell class action lawsuit against Tesla if Tesla really charges customers who already purchased FSD for $5K an additional $3K for FSD upgrade.

The 2nd ... plan to "take them off in four years or so there will be no damage to your car"

Mine was approved today. I submitted my application exactly 90 days ago. Now waiting for the check to arrive.

This is what I used. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZYSXZJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 It worked very well for me.

I find it just disgusting. I request Tesla to take it out in next software release.

I am pretty sure CA will extend the red decal validity beyond 1/1/2022. We just sold a Prius plug-in hybrid last month.We purchased that back on 2013 and that had a green decal. Expiry date of green decal was extended twice. On January 1, 2019, 223,654 green decals expired so there are lot less...

@Rural - after reading your Tesla experience, it seems like there is a world of customer service quality difference between Tesla locations. I purchased my Tesla from Rocklin, CA location and so far it has been an amazing customer service experience. When we placed our Model 3 order, I didn't...

I submitted my application by mail around 20th December and received my red stickers on January 23rd. I am glad that I got the red one which doesn't look bad on my red model 3. I saw a purple sticker on a black Tesla at a supercharger few days ago and that looks just horrible.

Unfortunately this is the problem of living in a densely populated old city. You may have a graet job, great city life but still the overall quality of life maybe poor. We moved out of the bay area to Rocklin, CA and we have two Supercharging stations within 5 mile radius from our home ... which...

I had my Tesla serviced recently in CA and I do see that they performed "Check and Adjust Tire Pressure - CA MANDATE". But they listed it as "Pay Type: Goodwill -Service" with 0 cost to me.

Well, now my delivery is tomorrow 10/28/2018! So just one week from order to delivery!! Excellent!!!
