Thanks for that info, makes sense. However, do you know why the renewal is more expensive than the original fee I paid when I bought the car from Tesla? That was only $560 including the registration fee and license fee.

I bought my Tesla back in Feb of 2020 and now I just received my first Vehicle Registration Renewal Notice from the DMV. To my surprise, the amount due is $639 with $367 for the registration fee and $261 for the license fee. I say surprised because comparing to my other car, Honda Accord, the...

Thanks, appreciate it.

However, I was seeing 50% before when I set the limit to 50%. Only past month or two am I seeing 49% and not 50%. Perhaps it has something to do with range update?

I must be missing something since everyone thinks this is a joke post. I leave my Tesla plugged in, so my expectation is that it will charge to 50% (the limit I defined) and show 50% in the app, not 49%. You'll notice it says "Charging Complete" above the 49% stat. What am I not understanding?

I have my Tesla charge limit set to 50 percent, but the app shows only charged to 49 percent. Is this a known issue or bug?

anything on the sentry videos?

simplest explanation is that he misspoke.

you're still wearing clothes?! :D

does it matter if the Tesla seats are not real "leather"?

Yeah basically what the manual says is to plug it in to avoid battery going too low. What I'm saying is there no point to keep the car plugged in all the time if you're making sure the battery is within the optimal percentage (20-80).

I mean is there a legit reason to leave it plugged in if you just make sure the battery is within the optimal charge range (20-80% or whatever)?

Last time I charged was 3 weeks ago. I charged to 80% and now I have about 76% left. I'm not leaving the car plugged in because there's no need, I'm not going anywhere, haven't touched the car in 4 weeks.

Why is the touchless car wash bad for the paint, what does it do?

I was paying $138 for 10,000 miles/year.

I just called Tesla Insurance and told them I'm not using my car anymore due to covid-19. They recalculated my yearly mileage and reduced my monthly premium by $55. Give them a call.

Most Tesla owners hate having front license plate but here's a situation where having front license plate is beneficial.

so loud at such low speed, wonder why.

I would say the biggest consideration is cargo space.

The forum is just a platform for both lovers and haters.

OP's sig has "M3" in it, there's your connection.

what about spinner rims?

42 because that's the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

sounds like a name Jeremy Clarkson would pick.

thanks for the heads up, some people might be temped in using sanitizers during these special times.

0 miles in the past 2.5 weeks.

What is this group buy 6? How much cheaper if group buy?

So would the following be a fair statement: if the battery is kept between 20% - 80% (or whatever range you deem as health for the battery), there's no reason to keep your Tesla plugged in all the time. So for example, during quarantine, you could leave your Tesla unplugged for 2 weeks if...

WOW, feel for you but congrats!

Feb. 22nd

Finally, got text for schedule delivery and vin in source. Ordered Jan. 2nd SR+ Red 19 wheel AP black interior.

About 172,800 times.

Tesla SAs are not here to help us with delivery, their main function is to up-sell you Tesla solar and accessories. In terms of delivery timing, SAs are just as confused and in the dark as we are.

Tesla is all over the place with delivery timing and I got first hand experience of it yesterday: Yesterday morning I called Telsa delivery center at Marina del Rey here in Socal and the agent said to expect vin on feb 19th and delivery on the 22nd. Woohoo Got a text yesterday afternoon saying...

I got the exact same text, wondering if there's a difference between tesla providing a time range versus this.

The demand is so high I don't think Tesla is worried about not able to sell the car you abandoned.

Tesla configured: Jan. 2nd 2020 Tesla texts: Jan. 24: Delivery timing 1-3 weeks Feb. 6: Delivery timing 2-5 weeks Feb 13 (just now): Delivery timing built in the next 2 weeks Does not having a timing range good news or just another way for Tesla to inform me 2-5 weeks since built does not...

Been trying to contact my local delivery center (Marina del Rey, CA) for the past few days and no one is answering the phone. Their voice mail box is full too. Tesla incommunicado.

Doesn't the agent just use the website to help people order, so yeah, I dont see any difference between ordering yourself online or agent helping you order online.

If you don't have a vin, how can the insurance step be check marked?

Ordered on Jan. 2nd with estimated delivery 4-7 weeks. Got delivery timing update Jan. 24th saying delivery in 1-3 weeks. Got second delivery timing update yesterday (Feb 6) saying delivery in 2-5 weeks. Sent email to delivery agents without any reply. Very frustrating experience so far.

Congrats dude! I haven't had any updates since last Friday's text saying 1-3 weeks. :(

Me: excuse me, do you know what time is it? You: shows me the phone without saying a word.

Random thought: would be interesting to know the gender ratio of Tesla buyers.

what's the name? do u have a link?

Dude, I was like you looking up tax rates all over SoCal, haha. 9.5% is a bitch.

Just got a text from Tesla saying "we currently expect your Model 3 to be ready for delivery in 1 - 3 weeks." I ordered Red SR+ 19 wheel black interior on Jan. 2nd.

how does this change impact existing orders?

I do know that Red is/was hard for Tesla to paint, the $2000 price premium for red is a deterrence. All other options, IMO, shouldn't affect delivery time too much.
