    Can you still order Model X pre-refresh?

    Hi - does anyone know if we can still order the pre-refresh Model X? Wanted to have a car that’s delivered quicker than next year, but it looks like I can only order the refreshed version and wait 6+ months for it to be delivered 😓

    Switched 12V Power Location

    The Thinkware dashcam requires 2 powered wires - one is a constant 12v (which can be easily tapped into from the wires on the left side of the driver footwell area), and a switched 12v that cuts power off when the car is parked and locked in order to kick in the dashcam’s parking recording mode...

    Switched 12V Power Location

    Answering my own question - there seems to be a switched 12v source in the driver side center console area, to the right of the accelerator peddle. It’s kind of difficult to rip open the center console carpet cover on the side, I finally gave up and have Johnny from Calibred Custom to install...

    Switched 12V Power Location

    Hi - does anyone know if Model X has any switched 12V power source that can be easily tapped into? I’m looking into installing a Thinkware dash cam which requires a switched 12V power source in order to activate parking mode. Thanks for any pointers in advance!

    Used Model X - would you pay more for a late VIN?

    Thanks for the insight. What date of production would you consider early 2016 build? I’ve found most of the available 2016 Model X is built around June/July of 2016, do you remember if those batch have specific problems?

    Used Model X - would you pay more for a late VIN?

    Hey guys, I’m thinking about getting a used model x and saw some 2016 90D in the $60k range. Some of the lower VIN (3xxx, 8xxx) is in the low to mid $60k, whereas some newer VIN (12xxx) is in the high $60k. Factoring in the $2k delivery cost for the lower VIN cars, the difference is about $7k...

    Autopilot and Lane Splitters

    Also had a motorcycle a*hole encounter a few weeks ago, except that I used auto pilot's lane change feature and a biker happened to try lane splitting as I was changing lane. Even though I have a dash cam (see videos below, starting around 20 sec), it couldn't capture the action of the biker...

    Vinyl cutout files for Model 3

    May I also get the file please? If you have time, I would also love to learn how you measure the dimension, so I can contribute to make some template for cutouts to use on other parts of the car. Thank you in advance!

    Delivery rescheduled last minute?

    I don’t think they are (and certainly hope they won’t) giving your car to someone else, perhaps they found out problems with your car and it will be quicker to give you another one rather than fixing it. It’s probably a huge disappointment for you, but on the bright side you might’ve avoided...

    Door lights upgrade

    You are not alone. I placed an order a while back and there is no communication for over a week. Sent them an email after a week and never got a response. I believe they ran out of stock on their lights but keep selling them online instead of putting the items as backorder. If I knew that...

    Touchscreen distortion

    Dashcam Install Help

    Thanks for the explanation. Can you provide a picture where you hook the ground to? I’ve tried looking for a place where I can ground the cam to but I can only find 1 large bolt near where the battery is and it’s very hard to get loose (and didn’t want to risk forcing it loose in case I can’t...

    Dashcam Install Help

    Do you know why it’s not good to use the ground from the battery? Isn’t that ground connected to the same ground as other components? Do you know where else would be a good location for ground!

    Prevent fingernail scratch around door handle

    Hi everyone - since the model 3’s exterior door handle requires a push-n-grab action to open the door, the area above the door handle seems to get scratched very easy by fingernail from everyday use (sort of like the door cup area in a traditional car door). Anyone have some creative idea on...

    Dashcam Install Help

    Thanks for the reminder. I’ve used the hardwire kit from blackboxmycar.com that actually has one inline fuse on the 12v constant power wire and another inline fuse for the switched power source. The fuse is about 1 foot from the connection end to the battery, is this close enough to the...

    Dashcam Install Help

    I’ve installed a Thinkware F750 (same wiring as F770 and F800) which requires a switched 12v wire (for activating parking mode) in addition to a constant 12v power source. Figured i will share some pictures for anyone who’s interested. I’ve tapped into the 12v battery in the frunk with...

    Dashcam Install Help

    Thanks, I’ve tested it again tonight and it seems that the car took a lot longer than 5 mins to turn off those powers (waited like 10 mins it’s still on). Eventually it turned off, but any ping from the phone app (with BT disabled, just by checking the car’s status over WiFi) will make that...

    Dashcam Install Help

    I need a switched 12v source that will turn off when the car is off, so I tapped the same passenger footwell wire as you, but I’ve waited a while after exiting the car and there is still power from that wire. Do you remember if there are any specific things that happened that causes that wire...

    Diminished Value appraiser and/or auto accident lawyers.

    Depends on how bad is your damage and how long you want to keep your car, what the DV expert charge might not be worth it (assuming you are even able to get the value back from the other party’s insurance at the first place)

    Tesla Model 3 Blackvue 750 2ch DIY install with Constant 12V power

    Thanks for the great pics! It looks like the fuse box is no where to be found in any of the pictures you’ve uploaded, is it possible that Model 3 doesn’t have a fuse box?

    Dash cam DIY install Model 3

    Thank you and much appreciated! Your installer did a fantastic job and the wire barely shows in the picture. Am I correct to assume that the little red wire hanging on the side of the “+” terminal is your dash cam wire?

    Already on 50.11 but just got an update notification.

    Tried installing but after a few mins it said “installed failed, please wait for a new update to be pushed to your car”.... Never had an update failed on Model S, first time seeing something like this.

    Dash cam DIY install Model 3

    Ah, good idea, if there are any power source near the battery that will turn on/off with the car, I can tap into that. When you have a chance, would you mind posting a picture of what the terminals of your battery currently look like after the hard wire has been connected?

    Dash cam DIY install Model 3

    When your installer took apart the trims, were they able to find where the fuse box is? I have a different dash cam and need a connection to the ACC in order to activate parking mode, so connect to the fuse box (if there is one) would work better.

    Model 3 fuse box location

    does anyone know where is the fuse box location on model 3? Looking to install an always on dash cam (thinkware) and it requires ACC connection for parking mode. Can’t connect directly to the battery since parking mode will only be triggered when ACC is off. Any brave soul had taken the car...

    Am I the only one who couldn't care less if my Model 3 headliner is cloth instead of fake suede?

    M3 wrap costs (XPEL and color change)

    I got quoted for $1900 full front wrap (front bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors) in LA. Still debating if I want to do it since wife will probably be driving the car for most of the time and she doesn’t care how dirty / scratched the car gets... May help resell value years down the road, but...

    Delivery rescheduled last minute?

    According to the delivery center, the car was sending a "need to troubleshoot" signal, a firmware update fixed the issue. Finally took delivery and hope the firmware is the only thing that had gone bad. If the delivery center just said it needs firmware update from the beginning, it would've...

    Delivery rescheduled last minute?

    Rescheduling in less than 24hr is what got me thinking there is something wrong they’ve discovered last minute. They can’t even tell me when it will be ready, just said they will call next week for updates. If they were to call me a few days earlier to reschedule, it will probably be better.

    Enterprise Tesla rentals when getting service

    I got one of those enterprise S70 when I took my car in a few weeks back. The car itself was pretty good, however, I went on the carpool lane (LA Metro Express Lane) and my carpool transponder didn't read and I got hit with a $10 fine from Enterprise and a $25 penalty + toll from Metro Express...

    Tesla Service Advise

    How does Passenger Airbag Indicator work?

    Thanks for the answer! One question though - if the "PASS AIRBAG OFF" indicator only shows up on start regardless if someone is sitting on there or not, how do we tell if the airbag is actually on or off?

    How does Passenger Airbag Indicator work?

    Does anyone know how does the passenger airbag indicator work on Model S? The user manual says if the airbag is off, it will show "PASS AIRBAG OFF", but does it show up constantly, or just when the car is started? I've never paid to much attention to mine until after a recent service visit, I...

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    Stopped by Barstow SC today, everything seems to be operational again. By the way, saw this guy parked backward in front of stall 1B's spot and charging using the plug in stall 1A :eek: Another car arrived and had to wait since all other stalls are taken.

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    As of yesterday Barstow is still being repaired, saw a construction truck parked near the transformer cabinet from afar. I charged to 100% from Rancho SC and drove average 70 mph most of the way, made it to Primm with 25% charge left. You can probably charge 90% (last 10% took forever to...

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    Thanks for pointing out the energy usage. Looks like from Rancho Cucamonga to Primm will use 75kwh, so assuming that's correct there will be 10kwh left when arriving Primm. Is 10kwh too little of a buffer?

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    So is it possible to go from LA to Primm on a 85 charged to 100%? Using EVTripPlanner, it shows that I don't even have to stop at Rancho SC and can go directly to Primm, but is it accurate? Screen Shot 2016-11-21 At 11.35.59 PM by clx posted Nov 21, 2016 at 11:37 PM

    Spotify for the US coming end of Summer

    Thinkware F750 Dash Cam

    Hi, do you guys know if parking / driving mode can be auto switched back and forth by using motion sensor only without connecting to the ACC port?
