    Supercharger - Battle Creek, MI

    Is it just waiting on a transformer? Crazy how it's been completed for so long and still not open.

    Supercharger - Kyle, Tx

    The Kyle Supercharger is apparently now open! Just saw a report that someone charged there today. :)

    Model Y roof rack

    Yeah, when I installed my rack, I was a bit concerned by this as well given how close those L hooks are to the glass. But I used the rack for two years with loads on the roof (carrying bikes) without any problems at all. And a few times I did remove the rack entirely when going on longer road...

    Model Y roof rack

    I went from a Model 3 to a Model Y. I was going to sell the 3 rack since it won't work on the Y, but we are going to keep the rack and use it on my girlfriend's 3 specifically for kayaks (she already has a hitch on her 3 for bikes).

    Actually, now that I think about it, this is a separate issue and I'm experience this as well when the car is just sitting idle but the air conditioning is on. I think this is related to the heat pump -- I turned the AC off and it was blissfully silent. Turned AC back on, and it was fine for a...

    No, it's not this, at least it's not something fairly consistent every 15 seconds. It seems more attributed to any imperfections at all in the road/bumps that cause these very deep thunks that you can definitely feel with your ears. And it's worse at lower speeds than at highway speeds...

    Well, that's not encouraging. So, assuming the mobile tech didn't do anything about it, what's your next course of action? Have you scheduled an appointment at a service center (assuming you have any near you)? Not going to be terribly happy if they cannot fix this, as it's pretty obvious...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    My delivery was originally supposed to be at the Austin service center, but the day before I got an email stating the delivery would be at the Gateway Church parking lot two blocks down from the service center. I visited the Austin service center yesterday and that parking lot was ridiculous...

    I took delivery of my Model Y today! Ordered 2/4 and took delivery 3/23, so a bit over a month and a half. Delivery was easy, and I was told they were doing 80 deliveries today from this one location (which is a giant church parking lot two blocks from the Austin service center). There were...

    Red Model Y with Black or White Interior? Opinions?

    I've owned a red/white M3P since November 2018 and I love the white interior. It's easy to keep the white seats clean. I don't have kids or dogs in the car, so that probably helps a bit. I am picking up a MYP on Sunday, also red with white seats. :) Previously I had a Model S with the gray...

    Delay due to ... badging

    Yeah, I took delivery of an M3P in November 2018 and it didn't have the Dual Motor badges or the spoiler. It took a year to get those. Kind of crazy that they won't allow delivery of a car without the badges, that's just a cosmetic issue. That's assuming they are talking about the Dual Motor...

    Just setup my delivery for next Sunday, March 21st at the Austin service center. My advisor said the car was built this past week and is already on its way to Texas. I updated my insurance and paid Tesla, so everything should be good to go. Curious how this "touchless" delivery will go...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    I've had the white interior in my M3P for the past two and a half years and I've never noticed the reflection on the windshield. However, you can sometimes see it in the passenger side mirror. It's noticeable if you're paying attention to it, but I cannot even remember the last time I even...

    Ordered mine February 4th and don't have the car yet, but I did finally get a VIN a few days ago and delivery is showing as March 16 - March 22, so moved up a day since I last posted about it. Hoping Tesla will contact me soon to arrange payment and delivery.

    FSD Beta testing open to all with next update?

    I assume it's just for people who purchased FSD.

    Sure looks like it! Boy, it's going to get very interesting pretty quickly with so many people having access (finally) to FSD!

    Is Phantom Braking Still a Problem?

    Yes, for me this is the worst aspect of Autopilot right now. Every freaking time you're in the right lane on a highway and a merging on-ramp combines with your lane, making the lane much wider, my car aims right for the middle of it. You'd think this would be pretty trivial to fix overall -- I...

    Tesla Mud Flaps back in stock

    Bought them yesterday immediately upon getting the email from Tesla that they were back in stock! The Tesla flaps stick out further (better covering the width of the wheel) and are lower than most (all?) of the others I've seen. So they seem to be better functionality-wise than the...

    Took delivery -

    Great, thank you for the photos! I can see where it's sticking out, I'll watch for that when taking delivery of my car. I'd be more concerned with water getting in there, although not sure if the charge door really protects the charge port that much from the elements.

    Took delivery -

    Nice, thanks for the photos! I'd love to see a photo of that charge door. I have a Model Y on order and it's scheduled for the delivery in mid-March

    Model Y roof rack

    I have the Tesla roof rack for my Model 3 and I don't notice any noise from it at highway speeds. As others have said, once you're at highway speeds you're going to hear wind and road noise anyway. Now, if you have bike trays on it and especially bikes or other items on top, you'll definitely...

    If I sell Model 3 with EAP, can new owner buy FSD for $5K?

    Great, thanks for the answers, much appreciated! That makes things easier. :)

    If I sell Model 3 with EAP, can new owner buy FSD for $5K?

    I've ordered a Model Y, which I expect to have sometime next month. I currently own a Performance Model 3 and want to sell it before then. It has EAP, with an option to purchase FSD for $5K. If I sell the car, will the new owner have the same opportunity to purchase FSD for $5K? If not...

    VIN Timing & Production Cycle

    What configuration did you order? I assume the three different VINS are inventory cars they had, versus having to wait for a new built.

    Also ordered mine on February 4 and had the March 4-28 (or so) range and today I noticed it now says "4-8 weeks from purchase date". No VIN yet.

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    Mine went from March 4 - 31 to "4-8 weeks from order date". Order placed on February 4th. So, still the same time frame, but interesting how they've changed it. It did briefly show a range of dates in February at one point, but that only lasted for a day.

    Best setup for two tesla charging

    That's what we do with two Model 3s and it works fine.

    Has anyone rejected an order this year?

    Yeah, that looks pretty sloppy all around, and you can definitely see where that small window is sunken in a fair bit relative to the other window.

    Any solution to the excess wind noise from the Tesla roof racks?

    Same, I have a Model 3 with the Tesla rack and I don't notice any additional noise when it's just the rack by itself. With bike trays you'll hear it, especially at highway speeds. And of course with two mountain bikes on top it's louder still. But not unbearably so. I have a Model Y on...

    Supercharger - Henrietta, TX

    I drove the route from Trinidad to Denton yesterday, and wish I had known this Supercharger was open! I'm driving a P3D, had it loaded up with cargo and two people, and I was a bit apprehensive about doing this leg. Charged to 95% and then headed out. I drove conservatively for the first half...

    Roof racks - what is the holdup?

    I do not recommend going the SeaSucker route. I looked into them when I had my Model S (with the metal roof, so couldn't use the Tesla rack), but didn't like that anyone could steal the entire rack and bike(s) trivially. Also didn't like that I'd need to attach and remove them every time I...

    Roof racks - what is the holdup?

    I'm in the same boat -- ordered my rack on February 6th, but it still has not shipped. And people began receiving replacement clips over a month ago. I've written Tesla twice and haven't been given any definitive answers on when I might actually receive it. Putting my mountain bike in the...

    Tesla Model 3 Roof Rack – J-Bolt securing the rack snapped

    LOL at "proactive product improvement". That's a crock, fixing this problem after it occurred isn't really being proactive. I purchased the roof rack on February 6th and it still has not shipped. I'm a bit peeved at this. I've written Tesla twice so far and I haven't been given any useful...

    Tesla Roof Rack!

    Oh, I do agree that the longer bars you can get with other racks are nice. I've used a large cargo box with at least one mountain bike on the roof before (and probably could have gotten two), but not sure that would be possible with Tesla's rack.

    Tesla Roof Rack!

    I've had racks like this before on other cars (from Yakima), and I'll never get one again. These use clips that sit between your door and the roof, and I can't imagine how they wouldn't damage the chrome trim on the Model 3. I also think this is a bad idea with frameless doors, as I wouldn't...
