Took delivery of 75D today! Smooth delivery, awesome drive, but.... first charge with UMC Gen 2 and NEMA 14-50R, and charge port ring lights up amber, occasionally flashing. Console displays "UMC unlatched", then "service mobile connector". UMC backlight flashes slowly red. Eventually with a...

New 75D! Anyone know if TX-specific registration, taxes, and other processes have been smoothed out? any other general tips appreciated too! (Yes, i've read the delivery checklist in threads already, just wondering if folks have local insight)

Hi, Order date - 10/08 Confirmed - 10/12 In transit - 12/8 Pick up reservation date 12/28 - Austin Del. Center. My DS believes (last spoke 12/11) could expect possible early delivery before XMAS. TBD.....

There was discussion in other I-10 SC threads about the need for a Supercharger in Fort Stockton and San Antonio to complete the I-10 route. I am familiar with trying to go directly between Ozona and Van Horn, but since I live near San Antonio, I have never thought about making the direct run...

Stopped by for a second to ask the SC some questions and saw it in the parking lot.

trading in my Model S this weekend so wanted to sell some stuff locally. Got a tesla brand rear cargo mat and frunk mat for dual motor for sale. Also have sun shades for panoramic roof. Price as new. 200 for trunk mat. 70 for frunk mat. 150 for sun shade. Would like to sell it all as a...

New Supercharger just appeared on the Tesla site - 8 stalls at the Hilton at Laredo TX! Find Us | Tesla Embassy Suites by Hilton 110 Calle Del Norte Drive Laredo, TX 78041-9143

According to supercharge.info there are no superchargers under construction in Texas and six SC locations that are currently permitted. The SC map on Tesla's site shows an additional 17 SC sites to be opened by end of 2018 (if I counted correctly). Which site do you expect to actually begin...

There is a public hearing on 12/11 at 2pm in Austin on a $2500 EV grant that is set to exclude Tesla vehicles. If you are going to be in Austin, feel free to attend and let them know what you think. However, you can also submit written comments via the form below. Details for Hearing: What...

For years we've had the fortune of being able to park a commute car in a garaged environment. A new job may require parking outside (in Central Texas) all day while at work. Does anyone go to the trouble of covering their car while at work in the summer? I know there is overheat protection...

There were about 4 inventory 75s in Dallas last week. Everyday last week I went to the inventory page and hit refresh. 4 became 3, 3 became 2 and then finally this week on Monday, 2 became 1. I did not have to pay the transportation fee and I felt like these limited 75 RWDs were being given away...

Traveling recently, I had the “opportunity” to use non-Tesla charging solutions since no Tesla charging stations were available in the immediate area. Let’s just say that it reaffirmed my gratitude for home charging and the Tesla Supercharger network. A lot of analysts keep harping on how much...

Whenever you are ready to part with your Tesla Model S let me know. Im interested in a 85kW battery back min used model S. My price range really will only allow for a 2012 - 2014 model. Anyone looking to upgrade to an Autopilot / Model 3 Tesla lets talk and I would be happy to take your Tesla...

Hi from new member here who hopes to soon be a new owner. Being from West Texas the nearest stores are 250+ miles away in Dallas or Austin. I’ve been doing tons of reading and am planning a test drive in about two weeks while in Plano for business. I was hoping there might be an owner here in...

Asking $71,000. Exterior pictures are below, features sheet and additional interior shots are available on request. The car has some minor paint chips on the front bumper from a cross country trip, but is otherwise in excellent shape. Just had the 4 year annual service with four new tires...

All, I just got my new Arachnids and am selling 5 grey turbines, with continental DW tires that are between 7/32 and 9/32 in tread depth. These are square so all 5 are the same size and include new style TPMS. Looking for $2500 for the package. I did have some curb rash which has now been...

Howdy folks, I bought a non-CPO 2014 S P85 in Indiana from a dealer (auctioned after lease, clean CarFax) with 43,000 miles on it last week. Drove from Indiana to Texas just fine. Today, there was a brief "Low Coolant - Contact Tesla Service" warning message on my dashboard that disappeared...

I’m not always impressed by the restaurants that are walkable, in relation to the Supercharger site. Moreover, the Tesla database tends to be out of date concerning new openings and closures of the restaurants. Below is a list (made Nov. 2017) of nearby alternative locations that are located...

Has anyone had personal experience with Solar installation in Texas? I'm getting quotes primarily because the City of College Station is the only electric provider I can use and they charge a pretty high 0.12 per kwh. With the Tesla & a pool our bills are pretty dang high. I met with...

I didn't see a thread for this one, and hit this in my dig site trolling, anyone in the area to check to see if there is anything going in there? I do see the Supercharger site listing Pecos as a location and a large site like Flying J might make sense.

A permit request for Tesla charging stations was received in Plano today at The Shops at Legacy Town Center (North) Phase 1 (CPL). Given the applicant and cost, this is certainly for the Plano Supercharger. Permit #BLD17-18194 5725 Legacy Dr Plano, Texas 75024

Hey guys, for sale in Dallas, TX: 19" Silver Slipstream Wheels + Tires + TPMS Original set, I have upgraded to the Arachnids. They have about 3,000 miles on them, no curb rash, and will be carefully wrapped for pickup. I will ship but only at the expense of the buyer. Asking $1600

Current Odometer reading 73,355 PRICE WANTED: $40,000 Seats 7 (5 Adults), with rear facing third row for younger children. I have a Model 3 reservation and am selling my Model S. The original purchase specifications are below. The vehicle was built in late 2012 and delivered in February of...

I am looking for a Model S maybe around the Texas area. I don't really feel like waiting for my M3 anymore. Not too particular on battery size or dual motors or the miles on it, how realistic is it to find a model s that's under $42000 with Autopilot? I may also consider a non auto pilot...

I ordered a new inventory 100D Model S last week with delivery expected in 2-3 weeks. For those who have recently purchased in Texas, how are sales taxes paid? Per my lender which is Tech CU, they cannot be rolled into the loan. Per my adviser, they are paid through my Tesla account. Do I...

Received a call today from Solar City to schedule my Powerwall x 2 installation. Tentatively scheduled for December 14 and will take 2 days to complete. I'm not sure if there have been any installs in Houston but I ordered mine back in April. My Solar installation was completed in August and...

There is a Supercharger listing for Dilley, TX. I will pass through there today and look for any activity, although it would be a surprise to find anything. Frankly, I'm a little worried about this as a SC location. Looking at the area on Google Maps, it looks to be a major supply and activity...

I have a Founder's Series Model S that I'd like to have repainted its signature red color. Can anyone recommend a place to paint it? I probably prefer to stay away from Alamo Heights Collision as I have been less thrilled the last couple times we went there for something. Thx.

I'm thinking about going, but am not familiar enough with the area to know where a safe place is to park (that is also likely to be available). Except to know that the area is sketchy at best at any other time of the year. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone! My Founders Powerwall 2 experience seems a bit different from some of the other posts here, so I thought I'd start a new thread about it. Mods: Please feel free to merge in to another thread. Contact Method: Phone and personalized email I received a call from a Tesla Energy...

Downloaded the latest SW update, and ready to try out camper mode. Woo hoo! Any suggestions on weekend getaways near Austin for two adults and our dog? At Lake Buchanan, I found this place called Canyon of the Eagles that has RV hookups. Sounded interesting, but I'd like to see if you guys...

We are selling a brand new set of Tesla 21" Staggered Arachnid Wheels in gloss silver finish. These are FORGED wheels, these are not cheap cast wheels like the stock turbines that retail for $6,000 from Tesla. The turbine wheels are not only heavier, they are also not as strong nor efficient...

Anyone in Dallas interested in a Reus audio upgrade or know when they’re coming through next? Not sure how to go about organizing it, but haven’t seen one of these in a few years, and my S75D is desperately in need of better audio so I thought I’d ask.

Watching my grandson Jackson playing in his RadioFlyer "Mini Tesla", I was admiring how much detail went into making it. The body lines, folding mirrors, charging port and charger, right down to the "Frunk!" And the accessories, that include Silver Turbine wheels, and a car cover. It all got me...

Hi all - recent new owner of a S85 here. Enjoying it so far, took a short trip to OKC and back and was pretty easy, stopping to charge a bit in Ardmore. Have a few upcoming road trips to the NW Arkansas area. Haven't decided if we are taking our S or ICE. Any suggestions for making the trip in...

My Tesla got just dinged in a parking lot. Tore up the corner of the front bumper and scratched the headlight. It's too soon to know whether there's more significant damage, but I'm starting the exciting insurance claim and I wanted to know people's opinions of Houston body shops. (The newest...

Hello All, I recently purchased a used 2015 Model S 85d and live in Lewisville, TX. I wanted to introduce myself and see if there were and local MS owners out there. I drove the car all the way back from The Woodlands, TX and found myself in a pickle. I had to drive to the Huntsville...

I don't tend to do long drives (I'll fly when possible) but I wanted to try out what it's like to drive my MX 75D on a trip requiring multiple charging stops. The Auto Pilot (HW2) was as useful on a long drive as I would expect it to be. Not having to press the peddles or steer meant I could...

• Tint and protective wrap (XPEL or the like) installers around Austin. Not looking to drive to Houston... • Installer for Blackvue front and rear and a lighted T rear. Suggestions?

Looks like the downtown location has been confirmed: https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2017/09/25/tesla-could-add-stores-restaurants-at-car-charging.html?ana=yahoo&yptr=yahoo "near 10th and Guadalupe streets in downtown Austin, opening by the end of the year"

Yesterday I was heading over to Trader Joe's and went to check out the progress on the new gallery. Turns out the construction fence is down all the way around and out back there are 5 charging spots. There was a new S and an new X plugged in that I am guessing are in place for display or test...

I prefer the original older style 19" 5 spoke wheels. I would like to trade my brand new 19" slipstream Wheels with brand new tires for the original older style 19" 5 spoke wheels with tires. Depending on your wheel condition and tire tread remaining I will request you supplement your trade...

Hi All I finally have my solar system running, Oncor inspected etc (Powerwall coming 'soon'). I was under the assumption that my current plan with Green Mountain supports buy-back, as the EFL 'suggests' that it does. As it turns out, it only says that GM has a but-back plan but it's not the...

Just seen the updated Supercharger maps and spotted a new location north of Austin. Looks like its on the corner of 183 (not the toll road) and Cypress Creek Road. Now I'm looking to see if Cedar Park has an online permit tracking site :) Going to exploring later today to see where they would...

Looks like they now have a SpC listed in Cedar Park (by end of 2018). Two in San Antonio (the NW one now marked end of 2018, other end of 2017). College Station & Brenham both have now been listed as end of 2018.

Hi fellow Texans, My wife's birthday is coming up and we barely get much time alone with the kids so I wanted to plan a day trip for just us. Nothing over night but something we leave very early in the morning and back by evening. We currently are in Frisco but looking for something within an...
