I suspect these shippers have exclusive contracts with Tesla, allowing them alone to ship Teslas via RoRo. I have spoken to many shippers, and not a single one allowed RoRo shipping for a Tesla. If you know of any that do, please let me know. Finding one isn't as straightforward as finding a...

They seem no longer allow RoRo for electric vehicles, has to be in a container.

Since you did not provide any reason, I am inclined to view your response as an unsuccessful attempt at trolling.

I presume that is a temporary parking, not for month+ long inclined parking.

very funny

I am planning to ship my Model 3 overseas and I have two options: a 40-foot consolidated (shared) container, or a 20-foot exclusive container, which costs $1,000 more. I've researched online and found images of shared containers. It appears that they often use the R-Rak racking system, which...

haha very funny

It may look like that, but this white material is not stuck on the windshield on the outside. It is only removable using a razor blade carefully on the glass from the inside. I have not found anything yet to rule out it being a windshield material.

My 2020 Model 3 has recently formed white material on the windshield (see photo). I was able to kinda remove it using a razor blade on the windshield from the inside. I keep my interior very clean, so I do not think this material was from an external source. Is it possible that it is coming...

Awesome, thanks! I will have a long commute in KSA so it is a big deal for me to confirm that Autosteer works in unserviceable locations.

Thank you for your input. I wonder if these cars in the videos you mentioned were imported from US, China or maybe Europe. Do you know? Because I have a confirmed answer (and videos) that Autosteer works for teslas imported from Dubai to Saudi Arabia. What I am not sure about are cars imported...

$2600 to $3000 before insurance. Tesla does not have a sales center (or service center) in Saudi Arabia. The nearest one is in UAE (Dubai). So even if I wanted to purchase a Tesla in Saudi Arabia I would have to order and import one from Dubai and pay shipping fees and similar import taxes.

Thanks. I do expect navigation not to work due to sim and other regional settings. However, I am not sure about Autosteer as it mainly depends on lane markings so it is not clear why it needs a sim swap. I came across this link by someone who imported their car from the US to Europe and they...

People who voted 'No', could you please mention the country in the comment section? That would be helpful. Also were Autosteer (lane keeping) working in your car in the US before you shipped it and then stopped working in the new destination?

Thanks to Tesla, they have lowered their prices multiple this year causing the value of teslas in the used car market to depreciate too much. My car is a very clean 2020 Model 3 Long Range AWD fully loaded specs with 10,000 miles + FSD and no offer I have received so far is in the forty-thousand...

I plan to ship my model 3 from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia. My understanding is that Autosteer (lane keeping) only requires clearly defined lane lines to function. So availability of navigation, maps, sim, etc should not affect Autosteer if my understanding is correct. Can anyone please confirm or...

I tried to unplug my model 3 while it's locked to simulate how a stranger would do it. One time the small adapter came out and another time it stayed plugged in. I am not sure if it's fool proof for non-Tesla EV owners. I think his was Kia plug-in hybrid.

I live in an apartment complex where there are free charging stations to its residents. The charging station can indicate whether the car its plugged into has completed its charging session. On two separate occasions, my model 3 has recorded the same resident unplug the charging cable from my...

I really hope they will fix it to the extent that I don't notice any difference between this door and the other doors. I just wish someone in this forum with the same defect would confirm the fix is satisfactory. The rest of the car is ok, with the exception of a small damage in the tire at...

My issue is not with closing the door, but opening it from the outside which is noticeably harder. This has happened only for the rear left door in both cars. If it was a seals thing, how come it did not happen on other doors in these cars (front doors, or rear right door)?

I took delivery of my 2020 Model 3 three days ago (long range AWD, red exterior, white interior, 19" sport wheels, FSD). Upon inspection I immediately noticed the rear left door is harder to open than all other doors in the cars. This is the second time it happens to me! The first time was in...

If there was a profit made from the settlement with my insurance then of course I would have to pay tax on that. But other than that, I have not come across any statute (so far) that prohibits me from claiming the rebate.

So you got $10,000 or more in Colorado EV tax rebates for the same year?

It was totaled just 1 week after registration/title. Maybe I was a bit lucky after all.

Thanks for the link. Yes, I checked it out and did not see any rules regarding the duration of ownership for rebate eligibility. Hmmm, does that mean if someone bought an EV in CO and the next day sold it, s/he would get the $5000 tax rebate?

I do not see the abuse. Sales tax in my area is about $5000 for model 3. So basically the $5000 state rebate is like asking for refund of the sales taxes already paid for each vehicle.

My insurance declared my Model 3 a total loss (repair costs are too much). I live in Colorado where there is $5000 tax rebate from the state. Will I be eligible to get this rebate next year even though I only owned the car for two months before the loss accident? Also does the state rebate...

Honestly, I would rather have it totaled than repaired. I suspect many Tesla owners feel the same, since Tesla body repairs take several months. Yes that helps a lot, thanks. Were you able to add the new Model S to your insurance coverage (that you had at the time of the loss) before the renewal?

My insurance has determined that my Model 3 AWD is a total loss because the repair cost + salvage value is greater than the market value of the car prior to the accident. My claim (light pole side collision) will end up costing the insurance only around $30K, since the car has high salvage value...

Was your car a model 3? I called them today and they told me they don't have training on model 3s, only S and X.

I sent my Model 3 to Stuttgart Auto Body in Englewood CO for collision repair. It has been two weeks since my insurance did their initial estimate and the body shop has not yet started the teardown of the vehicle for their assessment. Every week they tell me they would start the teardown next...

Yes, if you are talking about cars with 'handles', then it is natural to to pull the handle and push the door at the same time. Model 3 has buttons which are expected to be pressed and that is it, the door unlatches. The thing is, I would have no problem with pressing the button and pushing the...

Will my insurance premiums increase about the same whether I claimed the car is totaled and asked for its cash value VS if had the insurance repairs it in the body shop? Basically, is having your new car with considerable damage claimed as total loss always better than get it fixed? If not what...

I am in Colorado. How can you know/estimate the salvage value of the car? Thanks!

Never understood the logic with insurance. If someone wants his damaged car considered totaled, and the insurance refuses, cannot he just total it himself and get paid? Asking hypothetically.

The insurance is yet to estimate the damage value. But yeah I think I probably should push for totaling it after talking with the body shop.

Care to elaborate? Not sure what you mean. It is fine, just very light red painting on its base. I thought you were joking when you said you are concerned about the pillar more than the car.

Does it make sense to have it fixed with my auto insurance and then trade it in for a brand new one? The car has less than 1300 miles.

That is good to know. Thanks.

The car was not sliding, there was no rain.

May be it is not so clear from the pictures, but the front axle is very damaged, and the car is underivable. You can also see the wheels in the front and back are out of place. Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you fix it in a Tesla certified body shop? Was their red painting any good?

Basically It accelerated more than I thought it would. I believe I hit the brake but the car did not respond immediately. I lost control of the car. I called Tesla to review the logs and investigate what exactly happened.

Thanks brother. I have full comprehensive coverage. There was no liability in this accident. I wish it can be totaled but my insurance think it can be fixed. I am also worried about how much my insurance premiums will increase next. I already paid over $1400 in my last premium for 6 months.

I purchased a brand new 2019 model 3 AWD less than 2 months ago. Yesterday, I had a single car accident after acceleration on a curvy road I lost control of the car, swerved it, and hit a street light bulb on the side. There were severe damages on the front axle, the two doors on the left, the...

These are two correct statements about my car: - The two front doors "used" to open wide in the first few weeks. I don't retract that statement. When that changed, I thought it was a firmware update. As others pointed out, that could have been due to gravity working on a non-flat surface. Right...

So just because I have low post count, I must be a troll? Who said I cannot operate the car? Did you even read the thread dumbass? I am comparing my experience to others to see if it is a design thing or a fault in the car, which turned out to be the later.

Do you mean you hold down the button while pushing the door? Does it work if you pressed and released the button, then pushed the door (without holding down the button)? Would appreciate it if you can confirm. Thanks!

The service center in Denver does not think there is a problem. This a ****ing brand new car!!!!!

aka rear doors .

Here is my original post: "and sometimes I would need to simultaneously push the door when pressing the button to open it, just like I do with the rear seat doors." So to clarify, the front doors buttons "sometimes" need to be held down while pushing door. The rear doors "always" required that...
