    is Registration fee $750 in California?

    Thanks for that link. It's surprising that California is not one of the states charging EV owners an extra fee. It's disappointing to me that none of my $755 registration renewal fee already includes the extra EV charge--that extra charge will probably be added to my next renewal.

    is Registration fee $750 in California?

    Sad... I guess states will soon be adding additional fees for renewal of EV registrations... because we are not paying gasoline taxes.

    is Registration fee $750 in California?

    So, you think that the dollar amount of our $755 registration renewal fee is based solely on the sale price of the car?

    is Registration fee $750 in California?

    True. $21K is most we have ever previously paid for a car. On the topic of EV Registration Fees: States are going to be looking to recoup the lost gasoline tax revenue--a tax that is not paid by EV owners. I think that EV Registration Renewal Fees might be a topic for Tesla owners, in all states.

    is Registration fee $750 in California?

    Thanks for your reply. Actually, I've lived in CA for almost 50 years. The $755 fee notice we just received is about $500 greater than any previous reg fee renewal notice we have received... while living in CA. I guess this is the state's thank you, for going green.

    Questions on Tesla charging

    Hello. We do most of our charging from a 110v Tesla Mobile Charger. Soon we will be installing a 220v Tesla Wall Connector. When we are on a trip, Tesla navigation preconditions the battery before we use a Tesla Supercharger. Ideally, would the battery be preconditioned when we are 110v/220v...

    is Registration fee $750 in California?

    We purchased our 2023 MY about a year ago. Yesterday, we received a $755 Registration Renewal Notice! $755 is about five hundred dollars more than we've ever paid for registration renewal. Is the amount cited possibly a mistake? What are others here seeing for Tesla registration renewal fees?

    Opinion on selling 2016S90D Do I sell with supercharinging or transfer it to new Model S

    Thanks stevej119. Yes, it looks like free supercharging is not available to a commercial-use Tesla. Here's the quote... "To help ensure Superchargers are available for their intended use, we ask that you not charge your vehicle using a Supercharger if your vehicle is being used for a...

    Opinion on selling 2016S90D Do I sell with supercharinging or transfer it to new Model S

    Determine where/how you can market your MS with free supercharging to Uber and Lyft drivers. Free supercharging would be worth a lot to them--and others who spend the greater part of most days driving.

    How to insure that cameras will catch the cause of an accident?

    Hello. While on an interstate, and approaching a section of the fwy where transitions to three other major fwys are possible, a car suddenly swerved in front of our 2023 MY, missing it by a couple of feet. The car then crossed two more lanes of traffic. Luckily, there were no collisions. I'm...

    MY will not automatically unlock

    I'll give that a try, the next time unlock on approach does not work. Lately, it's been good. Thanks.

    MY will not automatically unlock

    Yes, often when the car will not unlock, taking my phone out of my back pocket will allow the car to unlock. However, lately, taking the phone out of my pocket is not enough. I will have to run the app (the app is actually always running in the background) and click on the lock icon to unlock...

    MY will not automatically unlock

    Our MY will sometimes not unlock automatically in the presence of our phones. We have to fire up the Tesla app and manually unlock the car. Anyone have ideas suggestions? Thanks.

    profile side-view mirror setting when backing up

    I set up a BackUp Profile to move the side-view mirrors to the best position to have in-place when backing up in our driveway, and heading out into the street. Unfortunately, my saved setting never holds for the backup process. It doesn't matter if I select the backup profile before I start...
