You could test their visibility theory simply by pulling over to clean the camera and radar. My untrained best guess is radar issue. I think it’s logging “visibility” because the radar sensor is going offline for some reason. Lines on the road comes from the camera, which appears to keep...

IMHO, If the ‘16 75D has AP2 and FSD prepaid, that’s the one I’d go with for that price difference.

Holy crap. This is why the Internet sucks. There’s 2 maybe 3 mega posters in this thread that claim to be owners but hate their cars like they’re paid to write about it. Why the F do you still own it and bother to spend your days on Tesla owner forums bashing them with mostly wrong information...

Tethla McTesface - came up with something quickly on initial setup and it’s just kinda stuck.

This is not how it has been. Before the addition of the “broken” count, you could show up to notoriously bad supercharger sites (for me, examples would be Quartzsite, Indio, Cabazon) it would say 3 or 5 Available but all of them were the broken ones. Obviously not in use because they’re broken...

Here’s the link to the shop that sells pre-made sub boxes for the cubbies. It looks pretty decent. https://store.audiodesignscg.com/product/tesla-model-s-subwoofer-box-phantom-fit/

Yeah, I put the sub in the under floor storage. The box takes almost half then the amp takes some space on wall so I’ve only got about 40% of the space left without removing the sub box. I like that it’s all nicely concealed when you open the trunk. However, l like the way the stock premium puts...

I did a similar build through the Specialists in Tucson. 10” JL Audio in a down firing box, Kenwood X802 5-way 1600w amp, Rockford component speakers to replace the stock size like for like (I didn’t want to get into custom mounts in the doors). A night & day difference vs the non-premium stock...

The XC40 has the advantage of being designed/released 6 years after the MS, but yeah - wireless charge mat seems like an easy option to add. (But there could be power tap ramifications that affect the manufacturing process in ways not so simple to the layperson.) I’m not sure what USB music...

Did you find a better deal? I think both the suggested options are good ones. I came close to getting the Audio Designs box and loading it with my own sub. I ended up opting for a custom box placed in the storage well so I could leave the cubbies open for shopping bags and detailing gear when...

Another happy Shelf Butler purchase. Quick delivery and easy install. Thanks Norm!

Might be unicorn rate with them - congrats. (While comparing 2 different people's rates is a little pointless, my Progressive rate is still cheaper than that.) As I noted above, USAA was going to jack my rate. I switched to Progressive (as others noted good success), dropped my Comp deductible...

FWIW - I have the older MCU but I’ve noticed a correlation between WiFi and Bluetooth issues. When mine glitches, I turn off BT on my iPhone then turn off WiFi on the car, then turn BT back on my phone. If I have phone music source selected on the MCU, then I first bring my music app (whatever...

2019.12.1.1 4b1dd29 also received last night on my car.

2019.12.1.1 just pushed to my car last night from 2018.50.6. Basic AP test works same, no differences noted on short test. MCU responsiveness seems the same (wonder if those feeling “snappier” just because of the reboot). Insane mode works well as before. Have not tested Insane+ or launch...

That how it was presented to me, yes. Your local delivery person is also just there to walk you through paperwork signing and to show you how to use the car. He did a good job. But he’s powerless and at least in my case, not even a messenger. All issues you have to take up “directly” with your...

Oh you can look at it, but they won’t unlock it until you’ve paid. Your other option is to forfeit your non refundable deposit. It hard to believe anyone outside a criminal syndicate would think this was a way to do business. But guess what, they got all of us - didn’t they?

Thanks. It’s pretty rare in my experience. As noted in that thread, lessors were taking a blood bath on Volts. Besides some asset book value and loss allowance accounting aspects (although Residual rarely = resell value as most people believe), from what I understand most leasing companies’...

I went through a similar decision process before buying my car. Different people are going to have different priorities so your decision will uniquely apply to you. Here’s my rationale: 1) I wanted Autopilot to help with long drives. Maybe some bumper to bumper traffic situations if it’s...

Yeah probably a little harsh. But until the infrastructure catches up, the feeling was pretty helpless waiting in line just short of an hour for a supercharger. Imagine the people around Christmas that waited 3+ hours at multiple stops on that same route. (My normal 8 hour trip could have been...

Tesla’s used car selling process is borderline scammy. They intentionally take crappy photos, withhold condition info, perform no pre-inspection of the cars before taking the down payment (much less any reconditioning), are slow to respond or unreachable via full voicemail boxes, will not let...

This is simply false. There’s no sense lying to people. I started my Tesla experience with a 1150mi road trip (~850 roundtrip open interstate driving). Of the 7 charge stops over the road, 1 was 20 minutes, 1 was 60 minutes, 1 50 minutes, and the rest 35-40. I’ve done this trip more than 20...

I’ve never heard of any finance company negotiating buyouts with the lessee. There are good and important legal and accounting reasons they don’t do this. Starting with the fact that while the bank/finance company holding your lease often has a similar name, they are a completely separate legal...

I can’t speak to what’s in your contract, but based on several other car leases in my lifetime - you talked to a ding dong. (Not unexpected from the high turnover, low industry experience chaos of Tesla) Yes, you almost always have to option to buy out your lease. You can do this from Day 2 of...

Yeah. This is how it went for me. Nothing...nothing... nothing... local guy calls “I understand you have an appointment tomorrow”. I do? I’m learning Tesla is like a cat. You only get attention on their terms.

I can vouch for Rejex (I forget the source, but I understood it was actually developed for the Air Force to use on aircraft windshields and people repurposed it for whatever once they released a commercial version). However, IIRC you could only apply it in a certain temperature range like 60-80...

I was the one that bought this. Smooth purchase. Brandon is a good guy. Thanks again!

Closed. I bought one from another member. Thanks.

If we can meet up or you can drop at my hotel in Irvine April 12-15, I'll take it.

$425 for a HPWC, new in box (no used please). I can pickup in Los Angeles area April 12-15 (possibly San Diego) or anytime in Arizona. Otherwise price needs to include shipping to 85750. I can pay immediately if we agree on terms. Would be nice to have a Matte Black Signature edition (will pay...

FWIW, I’ve done both. I always believe you should close the deal in person or at minimum get a trusted professional PPI. Obviously don’t do either unless you’re ready to pull the trigger at an agreed upon price. Worst case, if it’s a pig you got a long weekend somewhere out of it. But sight...

Did you replace the letters on the rear trim after they wrapped the chrome or did they cut around the existing? Thx

I saw a thread somewhere that that I think few people pinned down their dash rattle to the defroster diverter valve or HVAC vent diverter valve. So your notion of being near the defroster outlet is probably spot on. Don’t recall the remedy - sorry.

I'll take it if still available.

I can’t speak to CA decals specially, but I’ve had excellent success removing various decals and model letters with Goo Gone and dental floss. I use a q-tip with Goo Gone around the edges. Let it soak a few minutes and find a weak point. Use the dental floss to get under it and lift it a...

Does the regen setting have any impact on highway mileage? (i.e. allowing more coasting vs aggressive regen)

Agreed.

USAA is outrageous for Tesla. They want $1145 for 6 months. My Mercedes AMG is half that with them. They wouldn’t take my Ferrari I had before, which Liberty Mutual was charging me 5-something. USAA saved me a bit on other cars but homeowners is still with LM because USAA is 40-50% higher. So...

Tesla is a luxury priced vehicle and they most often compare themselves to BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. In that category, loaner cars are de rigueur. If I was buying a $15k Kia, I get it. But with $100k+ stickers I expect my inconvenience to be minimized for warranty work. And as a buyer I...

I can’t find the Like or Helpful options on iPad, so thanks! This was helpful to me as I’m a week post deposit on my CPO - eagerly waiting on a delivery ETA.
