    Any DIY Vinyl Tips and Tricks?

    Hi all, Picked up the CT a few days ago. I plan to wrap it myself in the coming week. I have wrapped a couple personal vehicles many years ago. I got that red satin Ironman tinybot vinyl and all the tools. Anyone have suggestions for the actual wrapping of it? I saw the Teslabros video on...

    What's the deal with payment?

    Scheduled delivery for Tuesday. I had intended to pay on the app as soon as I was given the option to however I heard a horror story on the other forum. Am I able to inspect it and then pay on the app? Is the app payment immediate? I don't feel like bothering to get a cashiers check. Thank you...

    Return policy on Cybertruck?

    What’s the deal with returns currently? This thing is supposed to be for my wife. She loved it on photos and video. She just saw a matte black on one the road and didn’t love it. She did see it from the back/side and not the best look at it. I have a VIN so it’s coming soon. I know that an R1T...

    Have they finally fixed the Model S yet? Interested in 2024 plaid.

    I've been borerline for a while about ordering an S Plaid while waiting on the 3029 Roadster. I have a 3 and a Y and waiting on a Roadster and CT. Our new place has extremely muddy roads that they're throwing rocks on to fix. I noticed today it absolutely destroyed the front of both of my rocker...

    Odd whirring noise from front. See video. Thoughts?

    Hi all. My 60k mile, previously bulletproof, 21 Model 3 Performance has started making a whirring noise from the front the past few days. In the beginning of the video there’s a cute dog breathing by the phone. It’s not that noise. The car is running perfectly. It happens fully preheated or not...

    Front windows dancing up and down. WTF? Video inside

    I came to my wife's car to find the passenger window down. I tried to move it up and it was working intermittently. Sometimes the switch would work sometimes it wouldn't. I got out to film it and the driver's side started happening as well. I did a brake plus two buttons reset. I could hear the...

    How to merge homes in iOS app? Had Wall-chargers, added Powerwalls.

    Hi all, A few months ago I added my two wall chargers to my iOS app and it created a home as I didn't have solar or powerwalls yet. Recently I added three powerwalls and when I went through the commissioning process it created another "house" on my app. Now I have two homes. One with powerwalls...

    Model Y suggest limit 80% but my 3 is 90%. Wazzup??

    I’ve always set my Tesla’s to 90% daily limit. Both have about 50k miles. 2020 MY and 2021 M3P. I noticed today the Y says suggested limit is 80%. What’s up with that? It’s always said 90% in the past.

    Badly scratched rear glass. Any way to buff out?

    Hi all, Yesterday I badly scratched my rear glass in a parking garage. My punishment for being someone who always backs into a spot. lol. This could have been wayyyy worse. Is there any way to polish these scratches to ~80% better? I’m sure there’s no way to fully fix but I’d love to not have...

    FYI: My opinion is Model 3 > Model S

    Hopefully this might be helpful to anyone who has a Model 3 and is considering moving to a Model S after the price cuts. When Tesla did the price cuts they also dropped Model S prices like $20k or so. I was in the area and figured I hadn't driven a new S, much less any S, in six years or so. A...

    Can I transfer/sell NY vanity plate "PLAID" to another New Yorker?

    When the Tesla Plaid was announced I immediately placed on order on a Plaid+ and snatched up the PLAID vanity plate. Since then that plate has been on a 2018 Model 3 and now a 2021 Model 3 Performance. When they canceled the Plaid+ I reserved a Roadster and planned to put the plate on that car...

    Cancel Roadster deposit to reinvest in TSLA/sell TSLA puts?

    Hypothetically.... Imagine someone has a Roadster deposit and is considering canceling it to invest that $50k back into TSLA. Good idea or bad idea? Started buying TSLA in early 2019. Did very well. Had 1500 shares, sold a bunch near the top to take back my initial investment, home...

    Cancel and resume FSD beta no problem these days?

    I have FSD beta and have had it for many months now. I was a 98 score guy. I get the update when the masses get it, nothing special. I’ll be away for a while during the coming weeks. Can I cancel my subscription now and simply pick it back up later on when I return without issue now that it’s in...

    Excellent article on the Model 3.

    How long to get the $50k deposit back?

    Hi all. Has anyone canceled their deposit and if so how long did it take to get the funds wired back to you? Also, when did you do this? Probably the more recent the more relevant. In short, while I still want this car, I sold 50 TSLA at $1,000 to pay for the deposit. I'm considering getting...

    Wall Charger 3 suddenly stopped working in weird way.

    Some ghost story stuff right here. I've got two HPWC 3rd gens in my garage. My P3 was plugged into one and charging. I was about to go on a trip and I was fiddling around with the mobile connector in the trunk. As soon as I pulled out the adapter from the mobile connector, which was not powered...

    Did the dealer just trash my Winter tires taking them off? Please take a quick look

    Just got back from the Tesla dealer which is always awesome and treats me great. I grabbed the tire out the car and felt something odd on the edge through the bag. Dumb luck where I grabbed. There's a huge gouge out of the tire. I checked the others and one more has the issue but not as bad...

    Summer Wheel/Tire decision time. Stick with Ubers or go aftermarket 19/20? Help!

    Edit: I went ahead and bought 245 PS4S for the Ubers. Hi all, When I picked up my 2021 P3 in the Fall I put Winter tires on the Ubers with every expectation that over the Winter I'd find a nice set of wheels in the for sale section and pick them up for the Summer. Every week or so I'd check...

    Tesla removes Base Price from Roadster page.

    Congrats to all who locked in the $200k price. I put the $50k down last month as I was expecting a price increase before release but not so soon! Note that they have not listed a new price, but it obviously will be higher when it appears. As previously discussed they also got rid of the...

    Best way to sell a Model 3?

    While it's easy to list it here we're all pretty knowledgeable and likely wont get the most money [I could be wrong]. It seems the price of the used market on 3 has exploded. People want the cars but don't want to wait and are willing to pay damn near MSRP for a very used ride. Anyone have any...

    Current best guesses on delivery time, please.

    Hi all, Seems I’m the only one who posts around here these days. Apologies? What is the current best guess on delivery timelines for the Roadster? Musk said Fremont manufacturing makes sense so there’s no need to wait for Austin. Cybertruck takes priority $$ wise but one would assume...

    Why is FSD not transferable to your next Tesla?

    I happily drink the kool-aid and I'm here every day. I just want to have a discussion so I can better understand why they don't offer transferring FSD to a new car. I have a 2018 Model 3 AWD+ with ~36k miles on it. I plan on selling it for the Plaid S or Roadster [if it comes out in 2021]. As a...

    To deposit or not deposit, that is the question.

    So...looking over the threads here I would assume the answer is "hell no, don't give them $50k, I'm still trying to get mine back". But, I figured I'd ask just in case there's any other argument I'm not seeing. I'd likely be shaving off some TSLA to pay for it. Has anyone received any special...

    Does Model 3 CF spoiler fit Model Y?

    We weren’t going to spend the $10k for a P, but my wife likes the CF spoiler on the Y. I do too and added it to our boosted AWD 3. Is it the same part? Can I grab one of the many for sale from a Model 3 and pop it on there? Thanks!!! Best, Gene

    Have 14-50...ordered Wall Connector 3. Questions...

    Initially I had my two car garage wired with a 14-50 on either side of the garage when we got out Model 3 in 2018. I didn’t get the wall connector because it was more money and the 14-50 offered more charging options should I get a different EV in the future. Now with the Model Y coming in...

    Eco Hitch or Stealth Hitch....or other?

    Thoughts on AP/FSD pricing for Q2 $

    Needless to say Elon can’t lower the price under $7k because he promised it’ll never be lower. He did mention in a tweet recently about again discounting Autopilot. I do not have AP on my 2018 Model 3. For AP it’s $3k and FSD is another $7k. As other income will likely be needed in Q2 my...
