    Define Home location by GPS instead of address?

    I had the same problem. Turns out google maps though my house was several hundred feet away from where it actually is. Still on the same property but apparently far enough away that the tesla does recognize it as home. Turns out there is a google form you can fill out to change the location...

    Model 3 Windshield Replacement - Extra $600 charge to recalibrate?

    The last time I had a windshield replaced at safelite they told me the camera's on my wife's subaru might not work with the windshield they are putting in and figured I would be ok with that. I wasn't. They also left clips out on the plastic cowl and my wife found out the hard way they kinked...

    14-50 on 100 amp breaker? Ok to use?

    If a motor is no longer used on the circuit I would replace the breaker with the correct one for the wire size. The breaker was likely the correct size for the motor since you are allowed (and required) to upsize breakers for motors so they don't trip when they have a huge inrush current on...

    Trade in with snow tires

    lol, nobody is checking the load and speed rating of your tires when you trade in a car.

    What is a "Relay/Contactor Fault" Indication on Gen 2 Mobile Connector?

    When I first got my car I plugged my portable charger in to a 240v outlet I installed and after a few minutes charging interrupted and red lights. Plugged it into a 120v outlet in the same building and it worked fine. Started checking voltages, etc and had 240v between the 2 legs but one leg...

    Acceleration boost upgrade, no software update needed?

    I'll probably buy it at some point. I'll buy it immediately if they do end up enabling track mode with the upgrade. The only thing that stopped me from buying the performance is the 20" wheels. They are a non starter for me in the northeast.

    Are lifting pucks necessary?

    So I bought the pucks but discovered the lift pads on my lift hare too tall to fit under with the pucks installed. My lift has spin up round pads with a rubber cover and I found the pucks are not need with that type. Of coarse this is me lifting my car on my lift so I am super careful. It was...

    Charging Nema 6-20?

    It's probably a single 5-20 instead of a duplex.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks for the discussion. I'm going to visit my nearest tesla location later this week, test drive a car and see how they rub me. I know it won't change my SA but it will give me an idea of who I will be dealing with picking up my car and going forward. I'll make a decision then. I don't...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same car, same delivery location but I ordered a few days before you and never placed on hold. My EDD is very similar to yours.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Honestly, if there were some pleasantries in there and not an exact word for word copy and past of a portion of the email I replied to with nothing else I would have been disappointed but not annoyed. This was the first time I reached out to them after almost 3 months and was just wondering if...

    My first communication from tesla was an email a couple of weeks ago.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    In my case I never turned anything down and the delivery date only went one direction-farther out. Currently sits 4/25-5/23 from an 11-20 order.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Rather disappointed. My white/black/18" order from 11-20 and originally scheduled before the end of the year was pushed out to April today. No holds and everything was completed right away. Reached out to tesla (very polity) today for the first time to see there might be something wrong with...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I ordered a white / black / 18" LR to new york-not exactly a uncommon configuration. I have seen several people post that they ordered later and already received the exact same car to the same location - Mount Kisko NY.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I ordered a car on 11-20 and currently my delivery date is 3-2 - 3-30. I never put it on hold and filled in all the payment info etc right away. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason why some of us wait longer than others.

    You are correct.

    Are lifting pucks necessary?

    In my case the only lift the car will go on is at a tesla service center or my own at home.

    Are lifting pucks necessary?

    Thanks for the info. I have a commercial car lift at home like shops have and it has round rubber pads on the lift arms used for unibody cars which just take a second to make sure they are paced correctly. I won't bother with the adapters.

    Are lifting pucks necessary?

    Are lifting pucks needed if putting up a 3 on a 2 post lift with round rubber pads? I have a car on order and was going to order a set of lifting pucks but wondering if I really need them. I know they are only $20 but its just another thing to keep track of if they never get used.

    Is it safe to use 70 amp breakers for home wall connectors to charge Model 3?

    1) It doesn't matter what the temperature of the wire is if the termination points are rated less and there are no 90c rated breakers so you have to use 75c. There are, however, 90c rated lugs. You can use the 90c column for purposes of derating and conduit fill but not wire ampacity. The NEC...

    Is it safe to use 70 amp breakers for home wall connectors to charge Model 3?

    You can only use the 90c column if both ends of the termination are rated for 90c and neither the breaker or the wall charger are so you can't use the 90c column.

    Builder installing 220 line to charge Tesla

    If they disagree it will be a pain to rip apart a new house after your closing. If they won't run #6 have them install a conduit so you don't have to rip apart the walls later. At least 3/4" emt or 1" pvc. If it's in conduit you can get away with #8 for a plug or if doing a wall charger you...
