I attached some Velcro tape to the back of the charger and the conduit pipe feeding the outlet. That is sufficient to keep the charger unit upright and stable.

I’m confused. The other post on this topic and testing by users shows that the battery is 62 kWh, I.e., a software limited mid range model. Is standard Model 3 battery really ~55kwh? | Tesla Edit: it seems that most data points to 55 kWh other than the one site linked in that post.

I have a similar issue, but I did not have any work done on my windshield. i did have the car in for service to replace the power conversion system. Upon completion of that, the service center loaded the latest firmware 16.2. The AC worked fine on my long trip back home (auto mode and AC came...

My AC does not stay on, but after 16.2, the auto AC setting no longer works properly (the fan is too slow and the air comes out at feet), and the "leave AC on" option is grayed out for me on park even though my battery is above 20% charge. This persists even after a reboot.

Good posts. I agree that Elon is perhaps best suited as a Chief Innovation Officer or the like. As for the stock price, as a pure auto company, Tesla is clearly overpriced. However, all of the negative media attention lately fails to point out that GM and other companies have been doing at...

Update: Tesla called me back today. The representative said that Tesla was just being proactive (no real issue with the car at the current time), yet they want me to drive at my expense for 4 hours each way and spend the night, at my expense, in a hotel. because the repair takes 6+ hours. They...

Thanks. The text itself told me to reply by text. I did that twice but have not received a response. I think I will just ignore it unless I hear something more from Tesla.

I received a cryptic text from Tesla today regarding my 2-month old M3. It said that "your vehicle was flagged during a preliminary power conversion system check that did not meet our standards." I was asked to immediately bring the car to the Charlotte service center, which is impossible...

New M3 owner here coming from an Audi A3 etron and, prior to that, a Volt. The Model 3 is overall quieter than either of those cars, which both suffered from rattles and odd cabin noises. The best feature for me, other than the sporty drive, is the navigation. There is such joy in saying...

Use Stats app and you can easily track your range, efficiency, etc. I am getting about 10%-15% more than the advertised range but slowly moving down to normal range as my one-month old battery ages.

Your rear door issue is perhaps not an issue. It is not documented in the manual, but the rear doors open differently from the front. They require a near simultaneous push of the button and the door, just as opening an old fashioned car door.

Just an update on my experience in SC. I received a FedEx with the required paperwork about 3 1/2 weeks after delivery (SC gives one 45 days to register). I then took the paperwork with me to the local DMV and was able to register the car with no problems. I did have to pay the $500 sales tax...

I also can't wait until premium connectivity becomes available. Tesla said "later this year" in its FAQ so we can hope.

Well, the fact that it occurred in China where Tesla faces many EV competitors immediately makes me suspicious. CNBC reporting that Tesla views it as suspicious.

Apparently, I need the bill of sale to obtain title, then I can register the vehicle by transferring my current tag. Why is it so difficult for Tesla to send a bill of sale?

I took possession three weeks ago and have not received anything other than the 30-day temp tag from NC that was on the vehicle when I took delivery. I plan to transfer the tag from my old car and so have 45 days from purchase to do that I think. Does anyone know whether I can just take the...

I spoke to my delivery advisor today, and he said I should receive the paperwork in the mail next week, which would be two weeks after delivery. I am transferring my tag from another car, so I assume I will just take the paperwork to DMV. South Carolina gives one 45 days to continue using the...

i took delivery last weekend in Charlotte (awesome car!). I received temporary NC tags, but I live in SC and so will need to register the car here. For those who have taken deliver recently, how long did it take you to receive your bill of sale, etc from Tesla?

I took delivery yesterday of an SR+. Not a single scratch or rattle. I drove it home from Charlotte and so got to supercharge too! Thank you Tesla for a wonderful car. Definitely worth the wait.

I take it back. I just got word that Tesla will give me a free wall charger and arrange a rental car if I pick it up in Charlotte tomorrow. Can't wait.

+1. Tesla really needs to fix the delivery process. What is annoying is having to pay in full for the car and then waiting and waiting for home delivery when the car has been at the Charlotte store for nearly a week. I'm ok waiting, but the lack of communication is the big problem. I think...

I am losing patience. My car has been sitting in Charlotte since last weekend. Tesla evidently cannot find a carrier to deliver it. I just emailed to ask if I can pick it up myself. i am not seeing the urgency to get cars delivered by quarter-end that I have read so much about.

Correct. I live about 250 miles away and am currently in limbo waiting for a flatbed to pick up my car (it has been at the Charlotte store for a week). I am not allowed to pick up the car myself (or at least my delivery advisor didn't jump on that chance when I offered to do so). I am hopeful...

I have an SR+ waiting for home delivery. I ordered it on 3/10. Once a VIN was assigned, I heard from my delivery specialist (very nice and professional person BTW). The web site showed March 24 at 10 AM as my delivery appointment date at the Charlotte store (even though it is a home...
