    Tesla Cam Video enhancement

    I was returning from a roadtrip when I passed two pickup trucks, the first was pulling a trailer that was hauling large rocks and gravel. Just as I was passing this truck he hit a bump and sprayed my car with a large amount of gravel. I was not aware how much at the time, I heard a bang and...

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    I greased the joint myself on Sunday 5/22/2022. We will see how long that lasts, but it took care of the squeak immediately.

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    Please update us when you get your car back. I'm very interested to know the end result. Was it about $700 per control arm? I'm going to fix my squeak myself once the grease needle arrives in a couple days, but would be good to know for the eventual future replacement.

    Cargo box for Model Y hitch

    Thanks for this information. I was under the impression that tongue weight and vertical weight are the same thing. It's often described as such if you search for the definition online. But here is a link to Tesla's model Y owner's manual - Towing and Accessories, and it clearly supports your...

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    Thanks Ryan, this is much appreciated! PS.. I am working my way backwards from the end of this thread and see some of the service costs :) It is just incredibly annoying that they brushed this off when they should have replaced it under warranty months ago.

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    Did anyone end up getting this repaired yet at cost? I'm curious how much it cost because I'm about to get stuck with paying for this repair myself. I've run into an extremely frustrating situation with tesla service that makes it hard to recommend this car going forward. Nov '18 M3 LR AWD...

    Music skips on bumps

    My iphone X pauses play for about one second whenever the phone is placed or removed on any wireless charger. I assume the bump is causing the phone to disconnect enough to replicate this. Test if this is the cause by picking it up or placing it back on the charging mat and you should notice...

    Supercharger - Rockville, MD

    It was nice meeting you yesterday! not only wasn’t this on anyone’s radar, including employees at the Tesla store, but it’s still not even on Tesla’s online supercharger map: Find Us | Tesla The Supercharge.info map is up to date today but it didn’t have any info as recently as a week ago...

    Supercharger - North Bethesda, MD

    I was totally surprised to see this location yesterday as well. Tesla wasn’t even showing this location as under permit/construction. I was in Montgomery mall during the day and the Tesla employees mentioned pike and rose would be opening soon with no mention of this RTC location. As for an...

    Supercharger - North Bethesda, MD

    Just saw this update, thanks for the info as I've been wondering when they would start adding chargers this side of DC and the Potomac. As far as the permits at the mall, I stopped in and asked about them earlier this summer. I was told that the mall is going to go through a...

    Maryland Excise Tax Rebate

    This is an old thread, but I just emailed the MVA and was notified they never received my Excise Tax Credit request form. I mailed it last year at the same time I applied for the HOV sticker, which I promptly received. My delivery was 11/28/18, so I missed last years credit by days, and now it...

    V3 Charging Needs to get here soon

    Yeah, makes sense. I understand how pairing works and have (nicely) explained it to people who pulled into my pair at otherwise empty SC stations while traveling. Who wants to sit for an extra 20-30 minutes when other stalls are available, especially when you're already driving all day. I...

    V3 Charging Needs to get here soon

    I was under the impression that with the V2 update, the paired stalls were no longer "sharing" power. I have noticed that I have yet to reach above 116kW rate from a SC since the software update, even though I typically arrive with somewhere between 5-25% SoC. I thought it was an issue with my...

    Extension cord for Nema 14-30

    Oh sheesh, excellent point. I'm embarrassed I didn't think of that. It was parked outside and would have definitely been drawing down to 0 with everything running. Although I didn't see this behavior with the Tesla 15 amp dongle plugged in, I never thought about the fact that the car was...

    Extension cord for Nema 14-30

    I also received a weird error when using the SuperCharger a week ago that said my batteries needed service immediately, but the Tesla support technician didn't seem concerned since the car worked on the next charger over. He told me to contact Tesla during normal business hours by email but...

    Extension cord for Nema 14-30

    I then tried to connect the NEMA 14-50R cord to our in-laws 15-30 dryer outlet, but after the car initially started drawing a charge and ramping up, it stopped with the error I mentioned above. I wonder if it maybe tried to charge higher than 24 amps before I dialed it down. It kept resetting...

    Extension cord for Nema 14-30

    Bad ground or wiring was my thought as it probably would go unnoticed with typical tools or appliances plugged in, car charging being a little more complex. I tried the following at two different houses (5-15 or 5-20 outlets) and one public parking garage (5-20 outlet, but maybe not 20 amp...

    Extension cord for Nema 14-30

    Curious if you've had any issues with this extension cord on different outlets... I purchased the 30 ft months ago and hadn't had the opportunity to try it until now. When I plugged it into my inlaws 14-30 dryer outlet, received errors on the M3 display: Unable to charge with Mobile...

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    I used lightstream. I locked in my rate a month ago and have delivery set for 11/28. Lightstream matches any other offers, actually they will beet the offer by .1%. It’s also an unsecured loan, so I did not have to provide any car info like the VIN. They overnighted the deposit directly into...

    AWD delivery thread

    I second Fiver, but there’s also a chance they are pumping out SR RWDs to end the year since the batteries seem to be a bottleneck, and producing cars with one motor and quicker to produce batteries will allow them to get more cars out the door by EOY. It has appeared that recently orders out...

    Your car would have cost significantly less... And a flustered DS would probably be unemployed... You did the right thing ;)

    AWD delivery thread

    Thanks cct3, agreed. It does seem random, and I’ve noticed these accounts as well. I’m hoping everyone gets their order delivered before the federal tax incentive is halved. I plan on paying by check at delivery to avoid payment but no car. That situation is extremely concerning and you...

    My edit button disappeared again last night(10/29) and I just received an email from my DA with a 11/28 delivery date. Still a bit of a wait but hopefully the ball is now rolling.

    Has anyone had any luck adding a referral before delivery (their own or someone else’s) to get the newly mentions free charging?

    AWD delivery thread

    Thanks for the update. I did not have a reservation prior so maybe that has something to do with it. I live in a condo, unfortunately no solar panels or power walls, figuring out the charging situation will be difficult enough! I’ve been planning on adding FSD before delivery, I just wanted to...

    What are the details of your order? I ordered MSM, AWD, EAP, 18” Aeros, black interior, paying cash, on 8/23 with Rockville MD delivery and haven’t heard a peep aside from the false start at the end of the third quarter..!

    AWD delivery thread

    Apply with lightstream, send them the copy of the approval letter from your CU. They will beat the CU rate by .1% and overnight the cash into you bank account electronically. It’s an unsecured loan to boot, so no vin needed, no bank on your title... win win win

    I used lightstream, it’s affiliated with Suntrust bank. They’ll beat any offer by .1% and it’s unsecured. They literally deposited the loan overnight in my bank account. Now I just need the car...

    Congrats! I’m starting to feel neglected here in DCMetro though. Same exact build ordered 8/23/18, paying cash, and still not a word. Where did you take delivery, I assume west coast?
