    Wednesday around dinner I Got mine too, finally. I just filed it away and went on with my evening.

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    Nada here…..I even cancelled my Silverado EV reservation last night just in case I’d somehow jinxed myself. Still, I have no intention to order but it’d sure be nice to get an invite and restore my faith in the reservation system.

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    crickets here in SLO county California. for Being theoretically # 915 on the RN order list, the lack of invite to order is perplexing. I have no immediate plans to replace my Lightning with a CT but I was really sure I was going to have to make a decision. As it stands, there’s no decision to...

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    crickets here. Supposedly my RN in around 900 and I live in CA and I’m a 2x Tesla owner. I did reserve just the dual motor with FSD So that may be why I’m not getting an invite. Now that the launch dust is settling, I’ve had my F150 Lightning for just over a year and it’s been awesome so my...

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    Yup. Looks like you’re the RN people have been using the determine their place in line. Of course you could be 01 or 99 as the last two digits but it doesn’t really matter. My assumption is the first few thousand production vehicles (now that the handful of trucks have been delivered to...

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    Wow! Ok, please let me know if you get any communications. I’m in CA and seeing you’re in TX and I saw a screen shot for someone that just ordered saying TX and CA would get delivers first starting December 2023. were You doing the same thing I was and just hitting refresh on the CT order...

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    It’s a good question. Here‘s my answer. I don’t want anyone to be able to cancel my reservation. I would not be so paranoid except a Few months ago we had a reservation at Big Sur campground and someone called in and cancelled it on us while we were in Hawaii. We got an email about it and so...

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    I believe that’s the number I first used to determine my general place. thanks for confirming.

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    I was very quick to get my reservation in and even used Apple Pay for the deposit to expedite. As such, I haven’t seen anyone with a lower RN# than mine but I also haven’t been looking. The highly speculative online estimate calculators have me somewhere in the top 1000 (one even had me at 41...

    NEMA 14-50 outlets, be careful if you went cheap when you purchased them.

    A friend of mine installed two Nema 14-50’s in his garage to charge his Model S and Y. One day he got a message that one had Faulted out. When he went in to the garage there was a smell and smoke but luckily no fire. The system was all crusty and burnt up. It was a scary site. He had the...

    Second 14-50 outlet

    It splits the load or designates an alpha and a beta. I think it’s an ideal solution for what you were asking about. its built really well. It’s rare we have both our teslas at the cabin but my best friend has one, parents do too so if we have any guests, it’s likely they need to charge at the...

    Wall connector version?

    If it were me and I was weighing it against getting a Gen 2 (many for sale still in boxes for $400-ish). I’d offer $250 tops. It’s older, it’s used, it’s out of warranty, it has limited abilities versus the new ones. I also have a faint recollection that a Gen1 may not work with newer Tesla‘s...

    Wall connector version?

    Generation 1. If it’s a metal face cover it’s Gen 1, plastic silver cover or black plastic With Elon sig that’s Gen 2 and can be daisy chained etc. Gen 3 has a glass face and cannot daisy chain with Gen 2. Gen 1 should be pretty cheap in my opinion as you’ll be limited to expansion and...

    Home charging over long distance? 30 - 40 feet at least

    Here’s another option for using your dryer outlet. This is a local company (in fact the house in the photos is my best friend’s house) we are both beta testers for their product and the app will be very very useful for people trying to charge two cars or use their dryer outlet for their dryer...

    Home charging over long distance? 30 - 40 feet at least

    Here’s a unique alternative since your run is not that long and you’d still have the overheat protection. It’s sold out currently. The owner is very well known guy in the industry. I had a few chats with him about my situation. Good guy, straight shooter. ELONG™ Extension Cable compatible with...

    Home charging over long distance? 30 - 40 feet at least

    I’ll probably get blasted here but here we go anyway. We have a vacation condo and I had a Nema 14-50 (industrial grade) installed. I then bought two of the heaviest duty cords I could. I have to run 75 feet to our cars from the outlet (installed by a licensed/insured/bonded Electrician). I...

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    I don’t actually send them my “pay” at all, I just use an automated ACH transfer from my brokerage account. Their system doesn’t seem to know the difference As long as it sees money flowing in. Done it this way for 5 years FYI. My deposit is $1 more than my payment.

    New Tesla owner wall charger promo code question

    I’ve never seen one ever. I think that’s just a field in the “off the shelf” shopping cart Tesla‘s site uses. Elon even said there is no such thing as employee pricing, even for him, no discounts. There are a lot of them out there on eBay and Craigslist still because they were given out as a...

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    When we bought our Y last June we got 2.49% through Tesla and US Bank. I was pleased at the time. Spent an hour on the phone with DCU yesterday and today locked in a 65 month refi at 1.24%. Astonishingly good and easy. Saves us @ $47/month so $2999 Over the life of the loan. not a bad ROI...

    Supercharger - Arroyo Grande, CA - W Branch Rd. (LIVE 23 Jun 2021, 8 V3 stalls)

    Just drove by. Still shrink-wrapped but otherwise looks 100% ready. It’s great we have so many right here in this area but being that we live here, it‘s not so useful unless we had an emergency need to charge up fast and head north or south. Great advertising with 4 supercharging stations...

    Supercharger - Clovis, CA (LIVE 19 Mar 2021, 12 V3 stalls)

    Tight spots but great location. No way I will be able to charge the Y with the jet ski trailer. Pulling in with a CyberTruck will also be tight but it’s a great location for this of us Shaver. Huntington, Dinkey etc bound. Very please these are open now.

    Charging two Teslas

    I reread your post after I posted and saw that you had already prepped for the two. I jumped the gun. I do concur that dialing down at the car level would be a good solution. Just because it’s a Nema 14-50 doesn’t mean the car needs to pull 40 amps. It remembers what rate to charge at via GPS...

    This is perfect for us going to our place in Shaver from our main home in Pismo. If I’m towing the jet skis I hope hope hope they have a drive thru charger. Once we get the CT tri we may not need it but it’s in a great location. They’re really doing their homework on where the gaps are.

    HPWC 1st Generation

    That’s a Gen 1 assuming the front cover is metal. Gen 2 has the plastic silver cover and the Elon black one. Gen 2 can be daisy chained together if you have two cars as we do. You can split the charge or charge car #1 first and then car #2 second. Gen 3 is the glass front and has the WiFi and...

    Extension cord (gauge) for charging M-Y

    The thicker the better to reduce resistance heat, voltage drop, unnecessary tripping of circuits etc. When we visit our vacation house up in the Sierras I use a 75 foot 10/3 to charge one of our cars and a 100 foot 10/3 to charge the other. I upgraded the outlet to a Hospital Grade one and the...

    Fan runs at high speed after exiting the car with AC and HVAC off

    I’ve read but nit confirmed that it keeps running for a few minutes to clear out the moisture from the AC system. Previously if it didn’t then the HVAC would get smelly. Our Y does it too but not much as we live on the coast of ca and no very hot or humid.
