@mycroftxxx, Really disagree? Okay, why is it?
Not that I
owe you an explanation for the downvote, but OK, in the spirit of improving communications, I’ll play...
I don’t know what’s going on with the Tesla forums, but your response provided no new information - doesn’t take a rocket surgeon

to speculate about a backlog due to the shutdown.
Useful information would have been something like:
- “Wow, first I heard of this problem; I was able to register just fine XX weeks/months ago by sending the email.”
- “Same thing happened to me! Not solved yet.”
- “Me too, but I reached out to Tesla Support using email support option X and it was cleared up in a couple of days.”
- Etc.
So I’ll repeat my request in a slightly different way: Any new owners having trouble getting validated for the Tesla Forums? I know they’re probably not as useful as TMC

but I’d like to have the option to post there if needed. I’ve sent the Tesla forum admins the requested email three times now in the last three weeks with no joy, so if you’ve successfully registered (or not) with the Tesla forums lately, I’d be interested in your experience. Thanks!
