We have a Tesla solar system (panels, now power wall) on 12/23. What has to happen for us to qualify for the federal tax credit in 2020? Install complete, powered on....? Also, should I expect the usual Tesla delays that I have experienced with their vehicle side, or are they pretty good...

I’ve done some searches, but can’t find anything that really describes what I’m hearing. I am hearing a low volume, high pitch whine from the front or front right side. It seams to be most notable around 50-55mph and varies slightly in pitch with speed. I have a RWD so that rules out the motor...

We stopped here over the weekend and got our ticket validated at the Pub inside the Westin. Also, I don't have free Supercharging, but my account says "no charge" for a 40 minute stop. We were there super early, so it may be free when the surrounding restaurants are closed.

Same. I've seen both of those colors from my blue 3.

We are going up to for the Chiefs/Raiders game on 12/1. I see that there are Chargepoint chargers in the stadium parking lots. The chargers have a fee for use, but I can't find any info on whether or not you will also have to pay to park. I am assuming the answer is yes, but would like to...

I agree. Tesla had to setup a charging network to propel mass acceptance, and I do expect 3rd party chargers to crop up and take the baton.

Yeah, maybe I wasn't clear. We were using superchargers, just traveling through the night, not spending the night. For example, we rolled up to the Little Rock supercharger at midnight, and had a 40 min charging session. It was located in the parking lot of an outlet mall, with nothing open...

We just completed 2 round trips from Dallas to Nashville last month. Charging went great each time, I just have one suggestion. I love that the chargers are located near shopping and attractions, but that isn't very convenient when driving at night. We ended up having to make extra stops...

That's a good point!

Thanks for the info. The costs of their plans don't look too bad. If I have had to pay out of pocket for my issues thus far, I would be getting my money's worth for sure.

Yeah, I figured I would be facing these issues when I purchased, I just didn't expect them to keep cropping up. I guess I am now starting to realize I may be looking at some costly repairs later on.

I've had several issues on my 2018 Mid-Range Model 3. All of which have been fixed under warranty, but what happens after that runs out? I am starting to get concerned that the seemingly never-ending chain of small issues is truly never ending. I have had the frunk latch stop working, AC...

Is anyone else having an issue where Spotify hangs up at the end of a song? Mine will get to the end and then just spin the loading image. If i press next it will go to the next track with no issues.

It sounds like these tires don't combine well with this car. Any tips on tires that will last longer, or can we expect faster wear because of the torque/weight of the vehicle?

Where is this info coming from? Any word on Mid-Range? I am assuming it is lumped into using LTE because of the Premium Interior.

I can't believe it is being released into the wild in this stage. Based on the warning about staying in visual line of sight and being ready to stop, I'd say you'd be responsible.

I went through and checked my history on Tesafi, and can't see a major drop that I could easily point to a specific update. While I was browsing, I can't pin the drop on % charged, outside temp, or firmware version. I was really hoping to see a smoking gun in the data.

Yes

Here is my chart. 12% loss since march, with the biggest drop between 7/8 and 8/8/19

Because I would like to know how much range I have when I am driving somewhere. It is hard to rely on guessing.

I for sure would want to check it out, but part of my problem is that the 3 is lower than I am used to, making it more cumbersome to get in.

Yes, I have. I can't wait for Model Y, as my wife will be taking over the 3. It is just too low to the ground and compact for me.

I have this same problem. I am not a small guy, and this car is quite a bit more compact than my F150 was. I have learned to hold the B pillar in place so I don't pull the cover off. I have also noticed a worn spot on the steering wheel where my right leg rubs when getting in.

On 7/10 I had 9,081 miles.

Interesting. I did get an update on 7/10. Maybe it is related to that. I am currently sitting at a 12% degradation, which is a bit concerning.

For context, That graph starts in March 2019 and goes through today. The big drop that starts around 8,900 mi is July 8th.

I think this is probably related to the heat here in Dallas, but I have seen a huge drop in range that started about a month ago. Is this normal, and will it come back in the fall?

This is why I want a trailer hitch. I like to woodwork as a hobby, but you can forget getting what you need at Home Depot in this car. I have resigned to not being able to just buy what I need for a current project, and instead periodically rent a truck and buy lots of wood. I would love to...

I don't see how this isn't being handled as a design problem that should be covered under warranty. It seams to only be happening to 3s, and they revealed they made a software update to prevent it in the future.

Apple Music integration. More stable speeds on TACC (phantom braking, and erroneously adjusting the speed when the actual speed limit hasn't changed).

Dallas - It definitely sounded arbitrary to me, but I wasn't about to ask an questions.

Same issue. There are fixes you can do yourself, but Tesla is going to clean my coil and replace filters under warranty due to my car being less than 6 months. I would check with them.

I've recently noticed this issue, and scheduled a service appointment. They told me it would be covered under warranty because my car is <6 months old.

So, do they honor the price quoted when one ordered their car? for example, I ordered last month, and it was stated that FSD is $5k when ordering, or $7k after delivery. Am I guaranteed the ability to purchase for $7k?

For the win! I can’t believe how long this argument has gone on, but to a regular person going to buy a Tesla without the obsession that those of us here have, they could very easily believe that lane change is included with Autopilot. For one, how would they know that Enhanced Autopilot is...

I’ll keep an eye out for those.

I’ve had my model 3 with regular autopilot for 4 days. I got the latest update (2019.8.3) last night. I am now seeing more lanes showing up on the side of the screen. Is this new, or did I just not notice it until now? This is indicating 3 lanes on either side of my current lane (7 total...

That’s my point. Whether it is January or September, every manufacturer has last years model that they have to discount. I am well aware of their pricing on 2018s as I went looking for one just to get a better deal. I know it’s a year older on the resale, but I plan on keeping it for 8-10...

So, I had a 14-50 installed last week. I took delivery over the weekend and it looks like my outlet is installed upside down, based on how the charger hangs and the pictures I'm seeing in this thread.

I will say, I thought the same thing you did when I placed my order. A couple of days later, I found out I was mistaken and ALC isn't included, but I found that here. The Tesla site, I feel, is almost intentionally confusing. I have no leg to stand on ethically, because I was aware of what...

But they slash the prices in the autumn. "Model year end sales event extravaganza"!

I just checked with my DA. The new program is only valid for orders placed after 3/21

Everything takes "24-48 Hours". I had the same issue with the price not updating to reflect discounts. My salesman didn't input the changes and then took a 6 day vacation. Nobody at the store could do it because he was assigned to it. Once he returned he input the changes and told me it...

They did, however it took about 6 days to reflect on my account.

I’m just here to vent, I guess. I ordered a demo MR Blue/Black/Aero on 3/14 with free paint upgrade and a price adjustment for the mileage. The car was actually at the showroom. I have sat in it. The salesman didn’t enter the price adjustments that day, and then had the next 4 days off...

I’m told (someone on these boards) they are no longer honoring negotiated upgrade discounts. Now I’m worried I’m about to get the run around at delivery. I ordered online last week, a Black/Black/Aero Mid range. I went into the showroom two days later and switched to a Blue/Black/Aero mid...

Wait, so I ordered a fleet MR Blue/Black/Aero. I was told a $1,500 discount for mileage/2018, and no charge for the blue. Are you saying that they won’t honor that?
