    See Roadster in real life

    Stunning! Did you get a good sense of its dimensions? Is it closer to Model 3 size, or Model S size?

    Which color do you prefer your Roadster 2020?

    Oh man, now you got me dreaming.

    Can you tell me where on the website it allows you to sign up for email renewal? I can't seem to find it.

    Do We Have Useable Backup Sensors?

    I can confirm that the same thing happened to me. My parking sensors are on and loud enough, and I usually hear a lot of beeps pulling into my garage, but one time, it didn't seem to "see" a car behind me, neither my passenger nor I heard any beeps, and I bumped into it. I now know not to trust...

    $50k Deposit

    Realistically, if something were to happen to Tesla and the Roadster doesn't happen, would we get our deposits back?

    P3D+ owners.. how often do you mash the pedal at stoplights?

    All the time when I'm alone or with my kids (they love the acceleration) and the road ahead looks clear. Not so much with my husband who hates the acceleration. I wish I knew how a launch feels from the passenger seat ...

    Purchasing A Model 3 Performance From Inventory? Good Idea?

    I was in the same position, offered a demo P3 car (that had 6k miles on it) for about 6.5k off, vs a new car. I took the demo car. I bought a 2018 "demo" Performance model that had about 5k of miles on it. This was in January of this year. They gave me 6.5k discount, plus I didn't have to pay...

    Is my wait finally over? Tesla for people with highway phobia?

    I know exactly how you feel because I was the same, maybe worse. I bought a Model 3 a few months ago, and since then I've been driving on the freeways a lot. It's not 100% stress-free yet, but it's much better. When I bought the car, I was expecting to use autopilot / FSD for on ramp merges and...

    Is the model 3 too common now?

    Teslas are a pretty common sighting in the suburbs of Chicago, at least where I am. I see an average of 4-5 every day (not including my own) on my 4 mile roundtrip commute.

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    I have ceramic coating (opti+) on my car, and I didn't bother getting it removed before they put the spoiler on. One edge of my spoiler is perfect, the other edge has a slight lift (2mm) but it's been there since day 1, and it hasn't gotten any worse in the past month or so I've had the spoiler...

    Can't decide between AWD and performance

    If money is not an issue, get the P. I too was heavily debating between the AWD and P, but I ended up deciding on the P because I know that if I got the AWD, I might always be wondering if I should have gone for the P, but once you get the P you won't look back. Plus, P's are more rare, I see...

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    Thanks for your reply. I guess I'm out of luck then. Oh well. I can live with it as is, and if really starts to bother me I can request the SC for a new one, if / when they get better fitting parts.

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    Mine has a little bit of lift too, maybe just 2mm or so, and right now I can push it flush but it will pop back up when I remove my hands. Do I still need to heat it, or do I just tape it at this point? I guess I'm not sure what the heating is for ... is it to make the spoiler more malleable, or...

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    Thanks for the alert that they're arriving in Chicagoland. I called Highland Park and they had them too (about 20 or so according to the customer service guy) so I went there and got mine done today.

    3P+ Spoiler Appointment for this weekend!

    I was at Highland Park SC 2 weeks ago and I asked if they have spoilers, and they said they haven't gotten any yet. Nor Westmont the last time I checked which was about 6 weeks ago. Maybe they just haven't trickled to the Chicago region yet.

    Any features for FSD cars yet?

    If you bought EAP when it was available, you're grandfathered into what EAP was *before* they split it into AP and new FSD. So you get to keep Nav on Autopilot, Summon, and Autopark, which are all now new FSD features. But it doesn't mean you got boosted into FSD.

    Serious question 20" Tesla alloy wheels vs. TSportline 18" Forged

    Did you get TST 18s with a winter tire package from TSportline, or did you just buy the rims and got winter tires elsewhere? I'm looking at the tire package and all I have to pick from are Michelin Pilot 4S, Michelin Primacy MXM4, and Continental DWS06, I can't find winter tires there.

    Taptes Wireless Charger Not Working After 2019.8.3

    I have a Jeda charger, and I've experienced the same behavior as you. In particular the "cycling" from charging to not charging. I managed to fix this issue by modding the USB cables so that they're now power only, instead of power / data. There's a thread on the Jeda charger not working after...

    Immersive sound SR+?

    What is the software version of your car? I ask because it seems in one of the latest releases they removed immersive sound for *everybody*, and it seems to be a bug because they fixed it in a slightly later release. So you might be on that buggy release, and when they roll the newer release...

    Questions from a potential P3D owner

    There is one thing on this car that shocks me with how awful it is: the auto wiper. For a car that's so technologically advanced, it for some reason can't do something that much older and cheaper cars can do. It frequently doesn't turn on when it should, and when I put it in auto, the speed is...

    Questions from a potential P3D owner

    They haven't set anything up yet as far as I know, because June of this year would mark the 1 year period of when the 1st group of people without lifetime premium connectivity would run out of their 1 year free period. (But they've been so busy changing this and that, that I won't be surprised...

    Questions from a potential P3D owner

    My sales rep told me $100 a year ... when they get it up and running. (But Tesla is sort of disorganized and changes their mind a lot, as you will notice. So who knows.) You'll still get maps and updates w/o it, you just won't get live traffic and the native music streaming. I hope you end up...

    Questions from a potential P3D owner

    I mean that the one time I tested it, I set it on auto-close and drove away, then around the neighborhood, then went back ... and my husband told me it didn't close. I don't know if it's a fluke or not, but if it didn't work one time, I'd always wonder did it close? did it not close? so to me...

    Questions from a potential P3D owner

    The charge port is only on the driver's side. The charger isn't very heavy. The shipping weight (box / cables / insulation) was 29 pounds, and I got the extra long cable too, the actual charger itself is probably 10 pounds if that (but sorry, mine is already mounted and I can't weigh it). Mine...

    2019.8.2 Lost immersive sound option on P3

    It really might be a coding error, since SR doesn't get immersive sound, but SR+ does (and is still advertised as such on the website). Now that they have 3 different "interiors" and UIs to test for and write conditions for, maybe they missed something. Or at least I hope this is the case...

    That makes a lot of sense. I hope people who already got the update can file bug reports so this can get fixed soon.

    2019.5.16 Vampire drain

    I've definitely been experiencing this since 5.15. It went from 2-3 miles a day to about a mile an hour when it's not plugged in. Car never seems to sleep anymore, as even in the morning when I open the app it connects immediately. I don't have anything plugged into the 12V, I don't have sentry...

    Have you noticed a difference in sound? I don't get why they'd remove that, unless it's a bug.

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    That's great, maybe they're finally making their way to the midwest. Your install looks great! Out of curiosity, did you call your service center, or were you proactively contacted?

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    On the west coast, it seems. Or some parts of the east coast. The midwest seems to have gotten the shaft. I've talked to all my local SCs and nobody's even seen a spoiler.

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    That's true. Some of the install pictures made me think I could do a better job myself. Maybe it is worth waiting for my SC to install a few before I let them do mine. A bad spoiler is much worse than no spoiler. Or at least, that's what I'll tell myself so I feel better when another month goes...

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    I can't remember precisely but I think there was a picture of a big truck with a bunch of P's on there in China and they already had spoilers, so it might be factory installed. Whatever parts they did have, they prioritized the overseas delivery, not us who paid for it long ago and are still...

    Back speakers and Sub not working.

    This happened to me last week. I was driving and suddenly the music sounded awful, and I realized the subwoofers and door speakers were gone. Where there should have been bass, I get the "click click pop" sounds instead. I did 2 button reboot, nope. When I got home, I tried a full reboot with...

    The same thing happened to me. Took delivery in January from the Gold Coast store. My delivery specialist originally told me I'd be getting EL plates, but a few weeks later she said there was a "new standard from the Secretary of State's office" and they no longer can give me EL plates, so I got...

    I have Enhanced Autopilot. I paid for Autopilot. Will it go away?

    It sounds like a mistake, since the features you mentioned are supposed to be part of FSD, not regular AP. But since it's Tesla's mistake, maybe they'll let you keep it? I heard about this guy who ordered an AWD and accidentally got a Performance, and it didn't sound like he had to give it back.

    Does 2019.5.15 update have 5% power boost?

    Placebo or not, quite a few people on reddit have reported that it feels a little punchier off the line. I have a P3D and it seems joltier than last week, too. Maybe they messed with the acceleration curve?
