What type of rims? I'm looking for a single Aero rim. Not even the Aero cover, as that's fine. Just one rim.

I'll tell you tomorrow when I get Ruby back from the service center. :D

Yeah, Holly didn't appreciate the "Hey! SLOW DOWN!" text when I discovered this ability.

My 3 is in getting the dash replaced (service center saw scratch that neither my wife or I could find) and the app is telling me that my car is now on 2018.32.5. Finally, I'm the first on the forums to get something! :D

Oops! Yeah, and it's too late for me to edit that. Sorry for that typo!

There wasn't much charging for free. I left my 3 on the Chargepoint level 2 charger for about 3 hours, and I did level 1 charging at my dad's house for maybe a 18-24 hours total during the time I was there. If I had to guess how much that free charging added, maybe $10-15 worth of Supercharging.

I recorded the following on a road trip from Alpharetta, NY to Sayre, PA to Ogdensburg, NY. I then spent days driving around northern NY, before leaving to drive back to Alpharetta, NY. All driving was done at roughly 5-7 MPH over the speed limit, and AC was set to 72. I drove as I'd drive...

...but she has her own Tesla account now and uses that on her phone, which I've connected to my 3.

She'll be promoted to wife on Saturday. :D

I was lucky enough to land a job with Cisco a few years ago, so getting free hardware & software just makes working for them that much more awesome. Hell - my profile pic is when I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Tesla factory before I had to give a client presentation that afternoon. I do...

I'm totally digging that MX64/MR33/MS220-8P stack that I received for getting my CMNA. I ended up getting my folks a Z1 and have a VPN set up from their place so I can get netflow from their home network. Between that, OpenDNS, and AMP I no longer get those "Dave, my computer isn't working"...

A true accident waiting to happen is if you leave in your Tesla and someone else leaves right after you. In my case, I drove my 3 out and as my wife was about to leave the 3 triggered the garage door to close. It almost came down on top of her Volt.

Looks like it will do 5GHZ. Here's a snapshot of my Model 3, Ruby, connected to my wifi: What's interesting to me is that it wouldn't originally connect to my main SSID, Holly's Clowder. I suspect that either the space or the ' threw it off. It did see and connect to the IOT SSID I have, so all...

Does this mean I'll be able to get one good condition used 18" Aero from Dallas to replace the one I curb rashed? :D

They truly do. I was one of the rabid bunch that constantly refreshed the Tesla web site, was mildly annoyed when they went up in price, but snapped them up the first time the web site didn't say sold out. Two months later I just stood there looking at the "naked feet" of my 3 without the Aeros...

Anyone in the John's Creek/Alpharetta, GA area looking for the caps and center pieces kit for their 18" Aeros? I just got the kit in from Tesla last week, and I'm finding myself thinking I like the Aero covers better. Kit has a few miles on it from driving around town, but the look new. I paid...

I financed through USAA, and the person I worked with from Tesla swore that everything with the dealer funding stuff was done ahead of time. March 31st rolls around, I go to pick up my 3 - a day I've dreamed of since I first heard of the Roadster - and I sign the paperwork. "THIS IS AWESOME! I...

Interesting option. Do they work with the aero covers on?

I've already taken delivery of my 3, and this could be useful in Atlanta traffic. :D

My $0.02: $2,500 for lifetime supercharging is kinda insane. It cost me exactly $9.90 to drive from Alpharetta, GA to the Atlanta airport and then to New Orleans, LA. That's leaving the house with a full charge, and then brief stops to super charge in Greenville, AL and Mobile, AL. It just...

Looks good enough to me. Ordering one to help fix mine up. Thanks for the tip, @PoitNarf !

For the record, this was Holly's favorite comment so far. :D

No, she laughs that the car is my mistress. :D This was just her creative way of showing that we'd gotten engaged and I'd gotten her a ring.

Went to New Orleans for French Quarter Festival a week ago, and stayed at the Aloft Downtown. My option was valet - that's it. When I brought out the card to my 3 and showed the guy that checked the car in, he gave me the "Yeah, yeah - I know how it works" look. When we left, the younger kid...

Looking forward to hearing if that works, PoitNarf. I've got curb rash on the same wheel on my 3 and want to get it fixed/touched up.

This was my fiance's way of announcing our engagement.

If you're in the Atlanta area and you see a woman with long blond hair driving a blue Hyundai Elantra, a white Chevy Volt, or a red Model 3 - GET OUT OF HER WAY! :D I used to laugh that our relationship is strong because our road rage level is compatible, but the reality is she has me by a mile...

Six days into ownership here, and if anything the lack of a speedo in front of me, combined with TACC/EAP, makes me a better driver. I'm more relaxed (TRANSLATION: less road-ragey) by the car handling the speed and not having my eyes constantly darting from speedo to road and getting frustrated...

Exactly. Same here. I've said it on TMC before, and I'll say it again: If there is a technology that you truly believe in, contribute to it on some way to make it happen. My programming skills are not good enough to contribute towards the technical creation of FSD, so I was happy to put $3k...

I remembered @PoitNarf 's comment as I leaving yesterday and reset mine to the front of my driveway. When I got back I was pleasantly surprised to see it automatically open my garage door.

I respectfully disagree. While I love my red M3, a white M3 passed me going the other direction a few weeks back and my reaction was "Wow that looks good" - not "OMG a 3!" Okay - "OMG a 3!" followed closely behind "Wow that looks good", but still... :D

Have to throw in a "Me too" on this one. Only Tesla in the garage, and even when I just stepped out of the car - maybe the door isn't even closed (troubleshooting steps to see if I could figure out the trigger) - and the button doesn't work. I have to use the button on the phone app to open the...

While I want to confirm that - no really - the UPS driver was turning left because there was no other easy way into where he was going, I do recall being told years ago about them doing their best to never make left turns and then replying to the person, "But don't they compete in NASCAR?" :D

Anyone in the Atlanta area need a micro USB? I'm guessing not based on how many the Decatur DC told me they had from people wanting Lightning cables. If you're that rare person that needs one, let me know. Would love to swap for another Lightning cable.

Was driving to lunch yesterday, and a UPS driver was waiting to turn left. I looked up to see him watching my red M3 and openly applauding as I drove by. Totally made me laugh and smile!

Took delivery of my multi-coat red 3 on Saturday. It looks far better than I'd even hoped for. So very, very gorgeous in the Georgia sun! If I had to choose one of the other colors, it'd be white. I was passed by a white 3 a few weeks back that honestly made me go "Wow - that looked really nice!"

3/31/16 first in line overnight waiter / non-owner / 2/22/18 configured here. I'd been in touch with my ISA many times to make sure that everything was fine for my delivery on 3/31/18. I was assured that everything was good. Final paperwork came through on Thursday, and I had my bank send my...

I've always gone with matte screen protectors on my phones and tablets because it cuts down on glare. That said, for the past year and a half I've had a tempered glass glossy screen protector on my iPhone 7 Plus and it's been fine. I was worried about screen glare while driving, so I went back...

I would like to have driven my 3 to Montana :D

@augkuo - I hate clogging up a thread with another "Thanks" post, but seriously - you rock! I really love seeing your pics posted on this thread. Thanks a lot for all you do!

Have you considered parking in a lot that has EV charging? I know that the economy lots typically don't have EV charging, but in Atlanta both of the daily lots (and I think the hourly lots) do have EV charging. I've parked my Volt next to a few really nice 3's the last few times I traveled. My...

My girlfriend is taking my 2014 Volt when my 3 arrives on Saturday. We're going to plug the charger for the Volt into the outlet on the ceiling the powers the garage door opener. (You don't need more than that to charge a Volt IMHO.) I've already got a HPWC installed on my side of the garage for...

I asked, but was told that they don't carry those at the delivery center.

Whoever it was on TMC that said "Treat Supercharging like you're picking which urinal to use: Don't take the one directly next to someone else" has forever burned into my head that I shouldn't use a SC next to another Tesla. It both made me laugh and drove the point home. :D

If you're comparing it to an ICE, it's not an apples to apples comparison. The routine maintenance on an EV is significantly lower over the lifetime of the car after you take out oil changes, lower the frequency of brake work, etc.

FWIW my Red w/Aeros is VIN 72xx

FOLLOW UP: Her reply to me when I forwarded her a screen cap of my reply: That's hilarious and I like the way your friend thinks. Screw the ring just get me a Tesla. @Parebalo - I think you just made me buy the most expensive "engagement car" ever :D

I had solar on a house I used to own around Myrtle Beach, SC. Solar was an awesome thing to have, and when driving an EV it's nice to smile and think that you're your own "gas company." Be careful in thinking about putting it on depending on where you are. Having it on my old house made it...

With her road rage a P100D would also need to come with a legal retainer! (If you see a blond in a blue Hyundai Elantra on Old Milton or 400, get out of her way! :D) I'm curious to see how EAP helps with her road rage, and we'll see when we take a trip to NOLA soon.
