    Supercharger-Coral Gables, FL?

    This is already on supercharge.info and we have a reasonable idea that it will be at 3851 Bird Road, Miami colocated with the long-awaited Miami Service Center.

    Florida Sales Tax on Post-delivery Software Upgrades (battery capacity unlock, AP, FSD, etc.)

    Does anyone know if sales tax is applied to software upgrades purchased after taking delivery? If sales tax isn't applied, that helps to absorb a bit of the post-delivery upcharge on software upgrades.

    Vendors: Tinting the Model 3's Back Window

    I'm most likely going to put a 70-80% tint on the roof and the windshield glass because I don't want to decrease visibility too much through either.
