    M3 $15K in damage from hitting a rock to the underbody?

    Thought about doing that, even told them I wanted the old unit. They said they would not be able to assist IN ANY WAY with packing up the old unit, nor getting it out of their shop. In the end it wasn't worth my time and effort.

    M3 $15K in damage from hitting a rock to the underbody?

    I had the same thing happen, my wife ran over a bit of rip rap, basically a large landscaping rock, and they had to replace the battery. M3 LR AWD, battery, whell/tire replacement, four wheel alignment was about $19,000 all in. Thank goodness for insurance. The car only had about 5000 miles or...

    The 95-Year-Old Car Sun Visor Has Just Been Completely Reinvented

    Maybe because the Model 3 already has an interior camera, one that could possibly work with this new visor?

    Gateway 2

    Gateway 2 is for three phase 220v power systems. All installs in the US are the original Gateway. Too bad for me, I like the look of the Gateway 2 panel better.

    Battery replacement - can I keep the old battery?

    Tesla is now claiming they want a $8,000-$11,000 core fee. Since it is not mentioned anywhere on any estimate I think I could fight it, but it is more than I want to bother with right now. I am dropping this idea. Thanks everyone.

    Battery replacement - can I keep the old battery?

    The insurance company is out of it at this point, Tesla does not like two party checks and they prefer the insurance company send me a check, then I pay Tesla for the repair. This also allows me to use a rewards credit card to get some cash back out of this deal. Since the total repair was close...

    Battery replacement - can I keep the old battery?

    I am getting my Model 3 battery replaced by my insurance due to a large rock that scrapped the bottom. I have heard there is value in these batteries for home storage with a solar system. I want to recoup some of the value of this old battery, that I own as part of my car, either for my use or...

    Rip rap kills my Model 3 battery and tire/wheel assembly

    Well my wife drove over a cantaloupe sized rock (called rip rap in the construction trade) that had rolled down off a nearby embankment a few weeks ago. The left rear wheel and tire were severely damaged and immediately deflated. A quick call to Tesla service and they were out with a spare to...

    Tesla no longer finances solar panels

    My loan is already a purchase, it is not a lease nor a rental. The loan is for 15 years at 5.99%. The first 15 monthly payments are at $149, then there is the option to pay the loan company what you would get back from the 30% ITC, which keeps the loan at $149 a month. Otherwise it would go up...

    Tesla no longer finances solar panels

    They don't finance panels, but they did arrange to finance my two Powerwalls. Hope to have an install date this week, but the financing is already approved and ready to go. $149 a month for two PWs.

    Solar financing in California

    Looking into a Tesla solar panel and PW system for my house, but Tesla will only finance the PW portion (not sure why). I searched the forums here and didn't see a thread on solar financing, so I am asking here, what is the best way to finance the entire system (up to $57,000). Any good credit...

    MASTER THREAD: Jack Points — location, use, damage, pads, etc.

    Our 5 week old Model 3 is in the shop for this very issue right now. It has been there for almost 10 days. They can see it, and say they have involved Tesla engineering to troubleshoot the problem. They say thay have approval to replace "the computer", which I assume means the MCU? Current...

    Ordered late on June 6th, VIN and delivery on June 7th. Just lucky I guess, lucky and VERY happy. From order to delivery was less than 24 hours, of course I live about 25 miles from the factory, so i am sure that helped.

    Finally purchased Model X last night in Santa Monica. Need Car Insurance Advice

    For those who don't own a car, be sure to keep and maintain a "non-owner's policy" with your insurance company. It should run you aboyt $100-$200 a year and will cover you in any car you drive. The most important part is that when you do eventually go back to owning a car the insurance companies...

    Model X sales versus other large luxury SUV's

    Minivan sliding doors are the epitome of "cheap'. FWD are both "cool" and "exotic". That is why they exist on the Model X. That big windshield is a major attractant for anyone who is over six feet tall and drives with the seat all the way back and up. Can't tell you how many times I have to...

    Dash Cam Video of Model S Narrowly Avoiding a Big Rig Crash

    I drove past that accident scene and saw the Model S getting loaded onto a flatbed tow truck. I was going southbound on 101, the truck was going northbound. I normally drive in the fast lane, but I was probably 20 minutes or more away when it happened. What a mess.
