    Did Tesla really took a month to register my car?

    They took a month for me in Miami, since it was taking too long I called DMV and I was told Tesla haven't filed anything yet (that was back in April 2019), so I called Tesla and they told me there were too busy and taking too long, that it should be processed in the next few days. Then a couple...

    How many solar panels for one new Tesla

    If you drive like 15k per year, thats 1,200 miles per month which is equal to 300kw (1kw=4miles) extra, so your Model 3 use around 10kw per day, which can be archived with a 2.5kw system. You need to add a 2.5kw to your current system (8 325w panels additional panels). You may add a couple of...

    What he meant was the inside hardware is not the one it should be for that mac address, still a 3rd gen anyway.

    Anyone waiting for tonight's financials before pulling the trigger?

    It was a good ER, my monthly Feb call doubled their price, my weekly (2/7) triple the price (per my calculation based on the actual $645 price).

    Anyone waiting for tonight's financials before pulling the trigger?

    Buy some Calls today, if ER are all positive, you will sell those calls tomorrow and order your new Tesla, it will be cheaper for sure ;).

    Detailers in Miami Florida

    I used back in April and my tint had a lot of defects, I have a couple of small bubbles (dirt inside), and I can see some light scratch from inside on my windshield (probably due to a low lubrication during the water removal), plus my stoplight is dirty since that.

    if Supercharging was free...How much would you use it? Battery health concern

    I will assume you own a house right? how much do you pay on electricity? 33k miles a year is not less than 8MW, at 0.26 per kW, is like $2,000 a year, $175 per month (maybe more if the 26c per kW doesn't include any taxes/fees). Have you considered Solar Panels? for $32k (minus 30% rebate) it...

    NEMA adapter wait....

    Call them, not many people order that adapter and when I bought it I got it in a week (and I live in FL).

    Charge Compatibility with a Volt

    That adapter is almost as expensive as a cheap EV charger (connector). In your case I could buy a JuiceBox Pro 40A and use it for both cars.

    New outlet install, Tesla charger or NEMA 14-50 Plug?

    Are you going to use conduit or romex?, you could install a 14-50R let say in the middle (between both cars) at a higher place (5ft from the ground) and use the mobile connector. You will save the cost of a Wall connector and if in the near future you get another Tesla or EV, you can buy it and...

    Many people will not recommend to use an extension cable (Tesla included), but I will give you my setup. I do have a Model 3 SR+ which can only charge up to 32A, the mobile connector gen2 (included with every Model 3 purchase) can only provide a maximum of 32A. Since my apartment is on the...

    Advice on paint issues with car on delivery

    Now it make me wonder if I should complain with Tesla because I can see a little different color between the bumper and hood, the bumper is not as dark as the hood.

    Unable to charge using NEMA 14-50 outlet in garage and Mobile Connector

    It looks good, but take a photo of the front faceplate to make sure the ground (bare wire) in on the top (half rounded). The next step should check the panel (you will need to remove 4 screws) to see if the ground is connected. Plugshare is a great app, but some free chargers are Chargepoint...

    Unable to charge using NEMA 14-50 outlet in garage and Mobile Connector

    It looks like there is a problem with the ground, can you remove the screw and take a photo of the back of the outlet? just make sure to flip the breaker lever to the "off" position on the main panel. PS: did he come to your house to check if everything was good?

    Temporary charging solutions before a wall charger install

    He said 8 awg on a conduit so I could assume is THHN and a 50A breaker should work too, but since he is going to get a wall charger in the future, 50A shouldn't make a big difference since the portable charger is 32A. Best temporary solution is a 40/50A breaker and a 14-50R to charge at the...

    Temporary charging solutions before a wall charger install

    Are you going to use that interlocked connection for a generator in the future? you can replace it with a 14-50 outlet and install a 40A breaker, remember you have 8 gauge ((the mobile charger use 32A, 40A braker should be fine).

    14-50 vs 14-30 Question

    Can you check the wire gauge of your 14-30 outlet? if is 8 AWG you can change the Breaker/Outlet and use the same wire, but if is 10 AWG, then you should buy the 14-30 adapter.

    M3 Standard 220 range 172 mile commute

    My bad :D, I meant 8.9 cents ($0.089) per kW while after taxes/fees is around 12.5/13.5 cents ($0.130) per kW.

    M3 Standard 220 range 172 mile commute

    Well, in FL (FPL) it cost me like 0.89 cents per Kwh but when you add taxes+fees it ended up around 1.25/1.35 cents/Kwh, so in reality is always more of what they said ;)

    Wanted, 40A 14-50 home charger @ reasonable price

    I saw an EV charger (AeroVironment TurboDock) at Miami International Airport (valet parking) that use TurboDock, you need the app and a pin code in order to work, but AFAIK is the commercial version, so the cost will be around $1,200. The ChargePoint you can setup which time you will enable the...

    Which Tesla Model 3 do you have? the SR/SR+/MR wont' charge more than 32A, now if you have the LR, then you can charge up to 48A. There are other brands like ChargePoints which have good reviews.

    Corrupt video files in Sentry Mode

    I'm not getting those issues, but in my case sometimes (very common now) the left or right camera will have a 0KB video size, which means it didn't record anything. I don't have a problem with the front camera. I had 8.5 before and 12.1.2 now.

    Horrendous brake feel

    I use the brake and I don't see any of those issues, my setting for R.B. is low, I prefer to change the brake pads than a new set of tires every couple of thousand miles.
