    Rock hit my lower front end

    That what I hate about PPF too. If the damage is big enough the money spent on PPF is down the drain too. Unless insurance covers PPF too

    New Car - PPF

    I did full front PPF on my 2018 Model 3. I’ve caught a lot of rock chips and bugs during that time. The PPF actually has some small tears on it. I guess the XPEL isn’t fully self healing. Now I just got a Model Y. I’m not sure if I would get PPF again. I could replace the whole bumper for what...

    Am I looking for a unicorn? Model Y with new suspension and USS?

    I found that combination in the Long Beach delivery center. There were two demo cars (white and black) that were 2023 MYPs that still had USS and matrix lights. The build date was 10/22 so there’s a good chance that they had the comfort suspension too. I tried to buy it was it wasn’t available...

    Share your best interest rates

    I was approved Nov 22 I was approved Nov 22 so it wasn’t that long ago. The Reddit post said that the special rates were supposed to last until Dec 31st.

    Share your best interest rates

    I got 2.49% at a credit union for 72 months (EECU) based in Central California. I was able to join the credit union with a small $10 donation (I’m in Southern California). Totally worth it for that rate. Found it while browsing r/TeslaModelY on reddit. I didn’t think it was real…but it was.

    Almost every one of these 2023 MY LRs has matrix lights

    Are all those Fremont build? Seems like Austin build’s don’t have Matrix lights

    Need to schedule delivery - Just applied for loan

    I had to scramble on my model 3 order that was financed. I will say that Bank of America funded my loan quickly. The hardest part is getting a purchase agreement from Tesla. The MVPA has to have your VIN in the document. Once I had that I was able to get funding the next day. Anyway if you’re...

    LR AWD with AP or SR+ with FSD

    That’s a solid plan. I have a LR AWD and my coworker just got a SR+ with AP. Truthfully when I ride in his car it basically feels like riding in my car.

    Taptes new wireless charging pad

    Seems to be an issue with the iPhone X. My friends Samsung S9 had no issues with GPS/Waze while charging on the Taptes. There's another thread on related to iPhone X GPS signal loss: iPhone X losing GPS signal in the phone dock area

    Taptes new wireless charging pad

    Unfortunately this is how Waze looks when laying on the charger. No GPS.

    Picking P3D or AWD with EAP?

    I choose AWD with EAP. Part of me does wish I went with the P3D (YOLO). But I know that if I got the P3D I would have regretted it after reading about its disappointing range. If you do any road tripping I would definitely recommend EAP. It makes driving long open stretches of road so much...

    Taptes new wireless charging pad

    Anybody have issues with using Waze while charging? I have a iPhone X and Waze navigation doesn’t work properly when my phone is laying on the Tapates charger. Instead of a directional arrow, it’s a dot. The dot moves but it’s choppy like navigating using a web browser instead of an app. When I...

    Backup camera went black

    This happened to me today too. One way to fix this is to exit out and then press the rear camera button on the lower left side of the screen. It’s a little faster than parking then shifting back to reverse.

    Taptes new wireless charging pad

    I ordered my Taptes on December 24th and it came in the mail today. Mine came with two pieces of double sided tape but it seems others got pads. The double sided tape was easy to install but I’m not sure how long it will hold.

    Almost had a “free” performance upgrade!

    I want to hear from someone with no conscience and brought home a P3D+! I wonder how long it would take Tesla to it figure out? Especially during the end of year crunch. On my last Service Center visit I got a call two days after I picked up my car to ask if I wanted to have my car valet to my...

    2018 Red LR RWD w/ EAP - 5,2xx miles

    I say trade in that LR RWD and get a demo P3D+. YOLO right? Factor in the $10k from tax credits/rebates you’re not losing that much. What really hurts is the double sales tax that you will pay. Chalk that up to an expensive life lesson I’ve read a few threads on people wanting to trade up...

    Ordered my Performance Model 3 Xmas Eve !

    Trying to get a MVPA in order to get my loan approved was by far my worst experience about buying a Model 3. Basically I got ghosted by Tesla in regards to getting a MVPA until about 24 hours before delivery. Getting my loan approved by the underwriter the same day (4 hours actually) was a...

    Perfect Window Tint in Santa Ana has Huper Optik. I got all my windows done including the windshield and sunroof. Price there was way cheaper then windowtintz, the only other place that carried Huper Optik One bad thing though is that I have a few lint bubbles on the windows. I did some...

    Closing Two Front Doors - Need to slam it?

    My rear passenger door had the same problem. I took it to the Tesla Service Center and they adjust it. Now I just have to slam it every other time.

    Help, powder coating Santa Ana

    Yup, rim were powder coated. He even painted the wheel caps the same gun metal color (I asked him to, I'm not sure he does it by default).

    Help, powder coating Santa Ana

    I had Luis power coat my 19" sport wheels gun metal grey with satin finish. They turned out great! I also had him paint my calipers red. I definitely recommend Luis. He told me that he only does one Tesla at a time in order to keep the quality of his work high and keep the turn around fast (1 day).

    Southern California (Orange County) Tesla Model 3 Tint/PPF Group Buy

    After the tint, I decided to get full front PPF and chrome delete. There seems to be no group buys for chrome delete and PPF at the moment for Orange County so I had to ask around again for prices. Prices varied a lot for PPF. I guess a lot of it depends of the type of film that is being used or...

    Need Electrician recommendations in Orange County, CA

    Another recommendation for Jimmy Pham. He converted my old Clipper Creek 240v (used for a Chevy Volt) to a NEMA 14-50. He showed up on time, completed the work in about 2 hours, and cleaned up after his work. His price was very reasonable.
