    Clear Bra installation / Clear Bra North Dallas

    Went to SpeedShield and got my Model 3 matte wrapped with a chrome delete and window tint. Couldn't be more delighted. The car really pops now. These guys really know Teslas, by the way. They've done hundreds (probably more). Also saw Aston Martins, Porches, etc as well but definitely...

    How do I sell a Model S?

    I'm not saying a crime was committed. I'm saying it's pretty crappy to welch on a deal when one of the parties has >$20,000 into the deal and is counting on you to hold up your end. I paid off a 2% loan, removed an aftermarket stereo upgrade, and cancelled my Tesla service agreement all in...

    How do I sell a Model S?

    I know who to blame. Buying a car with a lein is pretty straighforward. CarMax does it everyday. You payoff the title, take the car and pay the person in one fell swoop. You may also have the person sign an agreement to forward the title if it accidentally gets mailed to the wrong place. Don't...

    After low ball offers by Carmax and Tesla, sold it myself - Huge Difference!

    Glad you had a good experience. Personally I found them to be very unscrupulous. I would warn Tesla owners away from Current Automotive. Lots of red flags. Their founder Seneca Giese is a scumbag.

    Could this be a Scam?

    Beware Current Automotive. They are dodgy as hell. They wanted me to give them my car, sign over my title and then they were going to send me a check in 2 weeks. I said no way and then they said if I paid off my car they would pay up front. So I paid off my auto loan but it took 3-4 weeks to get...

    Need advice re New Tesla S Config

    So I'm upgrading my 2015 Tesla Model S 85D to a new one. I was planning on getting a long-range model but when I went on a test drive, they let me five the performance version. We turned on ludicrous + mode and I floored it. OH MY GOD! So blazing fast. Honestly, my current car goes 0-60 in 4 or...

    3G to LTE?

    I picked mine up yesterday and it is LTE enabled as well. I wouldn't fret too much if you have 3g. It doesn't make a huge difference. I think now the chip they use slows things down a bit so the display is faster, but not light years faster.

    It looks like I have LTE enabled

    I just took delivery of mine today. It has LTE. Woot. Map renderings are noticeably faster.

    Financing the P85D

    I just contacted them and the discount is now 0.25%. You also would need to set up a checking account. Net rate today would be 1.49%. - - - Updated - - - I called them and they will lend a max of 70k (actually 69,999). Also the 1.43% rate is for credit scores of 780 and above.

    Model S Pinewood Derby Car

    Be fun to have a cutout on the button and use a 9V battery for weight rather than the standard tungsten.

    Model S Pinewood Derby Car

    It looks like you can request other formats. I suspect somewhere there are converters. Let me know if you think it would be worth pursuing. I certainly can front the cost of the 3D file. Also, there are other files out there but this once seemed the best and was more reasonably priced.

    Model S Pinewood Derby Car

    I thought this might be a fun project but I am quickly finding that I lack the necessary skills. Are there any engineers out there that might be interested in working on this? Ideally someone with a CNC machine that can do 3D objects. I was thinking it would be cool to create maybe a run of 20...

    NEMA 6-50 vs 14-50

    1Hmmm...this is all very interesting. Here's the install manual from the Clipper Creek device: This shows three wires. According to my mother-in-law, he installed a 3 wire cable without a ground. That will work for the NEMA 10-50 (hot-hot-neutral). I'm guessing he is just grounding the...

    Well she lives about 250 miles away so I won't be able to check until March. However, I went ahead and ordered the adapter so I should be set.

    NEMA 6-50 vs 14-50

    My mother-in-law installed a Clipper Creek charger for her Volt. The electrician installed a plug for me so I could charge my Tesla via the mobile charger rather than via the J1772. Unfortunately, - the guy installed a 10-50 plug which has no adapter (kind of a dead standard) - He ran a 3 cable...

    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    Grapevine is very odd. Makes no sense at all. Tyler makes a little sense if you want to connect Shreveport and Dallas.I kind of figured they would connect Texarcana/Little Rock first though from the maps it doesn't look they want to cover the Dallas to Louisiana routes at all.

    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    They want them every 100 miles. So Dallas to Waco is 96 miles, Waco to Austin is 103 miles. No problem. But if you are driving on through to San Antonio, it's 131 miles. Still well within the range for a 60. I think overall that's fine. I'd rather them install them heading towards Texarkana than...
