My safety score was 98 leading to the update on Christmas Eve. I noticed the score disappeared from the app but it appears my car now has the FSD beta. I took it for a drive in the neighborhood and it nearly crashed into a couple of parked cars and is very aggressive on accel/decel, despite...

I pay a very low rate ($0.043/kwh) in exchange for a peak demand usage (one rate overall, another during 2-10PM). As a result, I charge very slowly whenever I can, between 5-12A, some times over multiple days. The software isn't really setup to either start AND stop during a window, or even...

I was charging often 50-80% and my battery was reporting low (~290 mi after about 10K miles). Despite what the manual said, the service center recommend charging 30%-70$ or 20%-80% for better calibration. They had me deep cycle the battery - I ran it down to 7mi and then charged it to 100% to...

I just got a quote to repair my rear bumper from a body shop, including the $365 for a new bumper, but they said they can’t get it painted like Tesla can. With painting and all the labor it came to $1750 !!!! I’m hoping Tesla can do it for the $1100 and in only a few hours, which would be more...

My door ding needed paint repair, including blending the next door. $1300 to fix, before the days of auto sentry mode. Im now hyper vigilant.

Yes, the orange floor jack is from Harbor Freight. The jack stands I mentioned are apparently $170 (each!) * 2 - 25% discount right now and a low profile floor jack is $100 from Harbor Freight is $100 + tax, so that is $365. More if there is tax/shipping on the stands.

I hit a bad pothole w/ my AWD w/ 19" sport wheels. First it was $336 to Tesla for a new tire. Left with a vibration. Then $704 to Tesla to replace a bent wheel, but still a vibe. Then $250 to Firestone for lifetime alignment and balance where they found the other wheel on the right (rear) is...

I’ll continue to get an emergency hotel than buy and put on chains, and spend 5hrs driving back to Denver. Happened twice in 15yrs.

I’ve lived in the Colorado front range for 20 years and have had AWD cars the past 15 (Subaru Forester, Toyota Highlander). Usually factory tires are crappy, last 25k, and I then get the best tire for snow/ice short of getting studless winter tires. Handling in bad weather is then great and I’ve...

I didn’t like the auto flopping around on my charging pad, so finally found a clean way to install it using the included vent mount and a short cable. I was going to use double sided tape, but then couldn’t move it to other vehicles.

I am also at 100% health on my year old iPhone Xr been charged mostly on home and auto wireless.

I feel it is more frequent and generally takes more input than driving the car (on a straight road). I wish you could signal another way that you are here, like a heart rate monitor sensors.

I had a blem on my front bumper on delivery. Tesla paid $1200+ to a body shop to repaint it. So I would think the answer is "no".

Quoted $100/rotation, which is like $5-600 over the life of the tires. Can’t see how that makes financial sense to avoid premature wear, unless that saves them from lasting around 30% or the life.

Yeah about $1100 or so for me. I was going to skip the vanity plate, but a rounding error compared to the ownership tax. And no thanks to the republicans, I can’t write it off since the SALT cap is now so LOW. I get free charging at work, but still every dollar I save on gas goes to extra...

The Littleton Colorado SC is quoting me $100 to rotate! I can't see how that makes financial sense to do, ignoring the fact they are 45-60 min drive. I don't expect the $20 that Firestone might charge me, but seems $40-45 might be more reasonable.

This works great for my 13” Nekteck USB C Car Charger with 45W PD Power Delivery and 12W USB-A Port for Ipad pro, MacBook Pro/Air 2018, iPhone Xs/Max/XR/X/8, Galaxy S10/S9/S8, 3.3ft USB-C Cable Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WQQG7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.bnvDb6236R84

My M3D is in for paint rectification on my bumper this week while I’m having my door ding fixed. I didn’t notice the bumper on delivery and they agreed to take care of it without issue. My only complaint, to date, is that you need to drop the car at the SC for them to take it to the body shop...

My kids decided: NOFARTZ

Not comp. my insurance company insisted my door ding was (no fault) collision even though the car was parked when it happened.

Nope:

Ok, so hold works but you have to press HARD

0 mins. They drove it the 29 miles to my house and saved me a Lyft. Then about 30 mins as others said. It felt rushed for me.

I think that sums up my original issue. Would be great to at least get an audible warning you are starting to roll back. I haven’t had hold engage with creep- Ill have to try mashing harder. Thanks all.

I liked the idea of “Hold” while stopped, until I didn’t get to to catch and rolled back at a stoplight / bumped someone. Now I have “creep” enabled. Seems to be more comfortable for me. Come to think about it, I have done this before, on a manual transmission ICE.

I just had mine replaced no issue after I found 2 stress cracks. They even gave me a Model S loaner free for the 24hrs it took.

To repaint my bumper, a body shop is charging $1200 (pearl white). Came with a blem from the factory and they had put touch up on it.

I get 44mi/hr charge at home at 48A but run it about 12A/11mi. At work they have 30A generic chargers but only get 22mi/hr. Normally I charge 2X/wk at work, maybe 100 miles at a time and almost never at home. I finally determined how to view my peak electric usage at home. Charging at 48A...

Bracket is stuck on, but there is a curve to the front that the bracket/screws help the (US) plate conform to - doubt sticking the plate directly would stay.

Would be handy if there was an option to have the M3 choose the charging current for a selected charge time. For example, “charge my car to 80% by 8am (or 10hr from now)”.

You’d think that, but the peak 15 mins is anytime of day. So they are encouraging me to charge slowly more than at night.

I think you are right - max kw during peak 15 mins. Kwh went down to $0.1015.

I turned my home charging way down (24A?) because my electric company charges $1/kwh for the peak 15 mins of the month (irrelevant to the time of day). I had gotten that up to $15 one month! Seems awful for electric car owners, and for me to drop $500 on the hpwc vs using the portable charger...

Its def through the pain and hard to PDR right on the body line. Schmo’s had to nail it hard. Insurance company adjusted to $1300 and body shop will accept it.

Agree. I dont care about fast charging- none of my wireless have it. My iPhone Xr holds the battery so well its not an issue. The Taptes works fine. Fit is maybe 4/5. I use an ancient belkin unpowered hub for the passenger side with a usb stick. Price is right. Maybe I would have gotten the...

You can preorder at tesla.com ..

Why? I have 15A outlets in my kitchen on 20A circuits. I’d say it’s different if you are trying to pull 48A continuous through the 14-50 plug, instead of 40A.

Yes, manual calls for copper. It was $150 for 30' of 4/3 copper for a 60A circuit from Amazon. For 14-50, you only need 6ga which is about 1/2 the cost, assuming the run is <100'. If the access is easy (open basement ceiling), it should not matter much how long on the install rate. I would...

I received a quote from a Tesla approved body shop in the Denver area for a door ding, which also includes blending the pearl white paint into the perfectly good rear door. Has anyone experienced this? Car is 3 months old :(

Here is my other car :)

Anyone else have this issue? Im on wifi - signal isn’t great, but streaming and web browser work and no different place than it usually gets updates. I’ve tried hard rebooting the car. I think I had the auto download option enabled. Touching around the screen seems to do nothing.

Pretty happy with this one.

Same as my plate: NOHANDZ My truck is: NOPANTZ

Yep, to switch to a 14-50 later, such as when moving. I had to use a dremel to trim the whole thing dang cable!! The charging tax credit, not sure if renewed US retroactively extends tax credits for charger installations, electric motorcycles and fuel cell vehicles through end of 2017 (Updated)

I wanted to have full 48A charging so 60A circuit (continuous load of 80%). There seemed to be disagreements on 60A with 6ga, so I went with 4ga, installed in a near empty 100A sub panel in the basement close to the garage. Main 2 panels of the house are 100% full and hard to access / far. The...

I tried for an hour to get 4gauge direct into the HPWC block. I thought I was going to pop a component off the IC board or worse if it slipped. I couldn’t get it clamped tight (probably not aigned) so I did the same, used the back extender with flex leads - much, much easier. For 30’ of 4/3...

I found arguments either way for 4awg or 6awg for 60A. Even though twice the price, 4awg is safer, so I went with that. I could not get the thick wires routed directly to the HPWC - I had to use the deeper back plate with the flexible leads. It worked much better. And Im not left guessing if I...

Is anyone having trouble getting their $2k AP for free? I took delivery on a M3 on Feb 26, 2 days before the drop, and my sales advisor says I'd get the AP for free. I wasn't super excited until I understand I can also buy the FSD for $3k more (presumably $7k if I want it later). My Tesla...
