I wonder if the silver portion can be separated easily from the rest of the cabon fiber trim...then folks could just keep their existing graphite piece and swap it in.

Except that all newer cars have the graphite colored trim, not silver trim like on the kit sold here. So the silver trim around the cup holders on the older carbon fiber kits won't match the graphite colored trim on newly manufactured cars. Not a big deal, but if folks do go to the trouble of...

Not sure if folks know this, but the Model 3 keyfob now looks to be available for purchase from Tesla: Model 3 Key Fob

Since the cable can fold somewhat, I'm wondering if a padded nylon laptop case would also work, like this one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-NC1406118R1-17-3-Inch-Laptop-Bag/dp/B00DUGZFWY/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1541049457&sr=1-7&keywords=laptop%2Bcase&th=1

I like these, since they're low profile and have both USB-A and USB-C connectors. Since the the Tesla dashcam feature requires pulling the drive to transfer video footage, USB C is useful for data transfer on newer laptops/PCs that may only have USB C without need for an adapter...

What a great timeless tip. Duly purchased!

I've used the Belkin for a while for the specific purpose of using it with a Pixel 2 XL. The phone displays "charging rapidly" when plugged in. It seems to work fine.

For me, the car was removed from the remote access app by the time I left the delivery center after the return. It took a couple of days for the car to disappear from the "My Teslas" website.

+1 Turning off mobile data was the fix when trying to connect directly to the dashcam via Wi-Fi.

Thanks! Otherwise known as: "if mommy says 'no', then ask daddy" and vice versa.

FYI I was ultimately able to obtain the carbon fiber spoiler from Tesla for the inventory MS P100D without additional charge. A mobile service technician installed it this morning. I received different responses from the various Tesla Motors folks who helped me obtain the car. Here is a...

Akaik the charging station's level 3 cable plugs into the CHAdeMO adapter female end, and the Tesla propritapro male end of the adapter plugs directly into the Tesla charge port. I don't believe the gen1/2 cable change affects it.

Thanks folks, I've located one (OP).

Congratulations on picking up your inventory P100D! How did the delivery go today? Did they provide you with the carbon fiber spoiler as promised?

FYI folks: Elon Musk extends Tesla’s free supercharging for life offer (but it's just through Tuesday night, Sept 18, evidently)

Thanks, but it was more a question of Tesla's policy.

It certainly can't hurt to try asap.

I don't know if that's the case - there are hundred's of 2018 inventory cars, most of which are listed without the spoiler. I called Tesla Sales back and spoke to someone else who assured me that a spoiler could be added to an inventory P100D without charge since it's standard equipment. He...

Folks - When you custom order a Model S P100D, an "optional carbon fiber spoiler" is listed under Standard Equipment. If folks choose to add one in the configurator, it doesn't change the price of the car. However, many current inventory 2018 P100D's don't include a carbon fiber spoiler...

Where did you hear that it costs $1500 to upgrade to the new MCU? Did Tesla service finally release an upgrade path and pricing? I heard it was difficult since it required a new wiring harness, etc.

Not too well. As folks may recall, the AutoVIN inspector noted that I didn't have both keys at the time of the inspection at my workplace parking lot, so he marked one missing. He said it wouldn't be a problem since I'd have both keys when I returned the car. I also had the rim rash repairs...

A relative is loaning me his 2003 BMW 540. I'll drive it for a month or so while I figure out my next Tesla. I remember when I would have dreamed to drive a BMW 540. Now it's just another ICE car to a Tesla fanboy like me. Funny how times change.

Today is the sad day for me. I'm returning the P90DL in a little less than 2 hours. While I filed the paperwork to extend the lease for another 6 months, I just couldn't justify paying another year's worth of DMV registration. Or more specifically, I couldn't justify it to my spouse! :-) I'm...

Have folks had trouble reaching Tesla Leasing by phone? The last three times I tried to call them I was placed on hold for more than an hour (one time more than two hours) before running out of time and giving up. I've been calling +1 844-45-TESLA. Is there a better number to try? I need to...

Thanks everyone for your feedback. It looks like folks are somewhat split on this, with good points on both sides. After carefully - and painfully - balancing the equities, I think I'm going to try to go for a newer car with a new MCU - and ideally ventilated seats if possible - if I can find...

Same thing here. No reply...

How much are you asking?

The 7500 mile limit to qualify for the California rebate is a good point, but it actually isn't a factor in the particular situation, since I don't qualify for the state rebate due to income limitations (I should have clarified that earlier). So the question is whether it's worth paying an...

Yes indeed - that's the quandary. The difference in price would be $7-10K for a 2018 car with the new MCU vs the 2017 car. Is it worth it?

I've been looking diligently for a inventory new-MCU 2018 2018 MS P100DL. However, my owner advisor found me a fully-loaded inventory 2017 MS P100DL with a $32k adjustment (8900 miles driven already), bringing the total price down to $116,500 before fed/state tax credits. That's actually...

Hi folks, I'm looking to purchase a Tesla Model S outdoor car cover with the storage bag. Please let me know if you have one available.

Hi SS'lectric - Welcome to TMC. I'm in Los Angeles and interested. I've sent you a private message.

I actually had a paint chip on the rear bumper and a small scrap on the very bottom left of the front bumper. However, I remedied it with touch up paint prior to inspection. It evidently wasn't a cause for concern with this inspector, thankfully.

I was contacted by AutoVIN via robocall 11 days before my lease was scheduled to end. The robocall message was basically: "This is AutoVIN calling on behalf of your leasing company to schedule your inspection. Following the inspection, you'll be provided with an inspection report. Call us at...

It may be somewhat OT, but I'm adding this since I know some folks on this thread are considering an M3P to replace our leased P90DL's... So last week I test drove a M3P so I could compare it to the P90DL that I leased 2 years ago thanks to this wonderful thread. I really wanted to compare the...

I've also noticed that the used prices on their site seem somewhat lower than our residual values. Has anyone successfully negotiated down their residual amount? I'm really glad we have the option to extend the lease for 6 months, but paying a full-year of registration fees bites. I guess...

Ug, that's brutal! I suppose that accident has nothing to do with the lease term, right? Do you still need to return the car on your original return date?

Yeah, I just completed the lease extension documents for the showroom P90DL I leased back in Sept 2016 thanks to this thread. Extending the lease 6 months is better than nothing! 'm really going to miss the car.

"The Other Woman"

I"m almost certain that I've read that the base model comes with "manual" seats - it didn't say more than than. I can't find the link unfortunately. I'd assume that to mean 4 way manual.

I notice this sometimes. I always keep my foot on the break rather than rely on the hold feature, until I'm ready to accelerate.

I don't think there's much that can be done except to assess the risk based on the supercharger location and make a judgement call. There are sometimes crime maps available online to provide you with additional data to make a meaningful assessment.

Yeah it's pretty much like a little mountain, with valleys beyond the gutter and lower driveway. I definitely waiting until the car reached "very high" before proceeding. A relative in the car eith me warned me that he had scrapped the front of his BMW sedan in that driveway. I rather smugly...

Lesson learned: even a Tesla with air suspension set to "very high" may still be lower than other sedans. I was entering a driveway (pic attached) that wasn't particularly steep imo, with the air suspension set to "very high", and scraped what I think was the bottom of the battery. It was a...

The Tesla Centinela SC matched Costco's tire price for the 21" wheels, which at the time happened to be a bit less than tire rack. Tesla said that they don't do price matching any more, but they did it in my case.

Yeah that's one reason why Lucid is particularly interesting. A number have folks have done this before, so imo it improves the likelihood of success - particularly if backed by Chinese capital. Assuming that Chinese company is stable and funded that is.

+1. That's why it's 'only' 10,000 Euros worth of damage lol. He must have slowed down both cars quite gently. Great reflexes and driving.

Why did you eventually get out of the exotic car renting business?

I'd really have a hard time putting down an unsecured deposit especially without knowing exactly how much this car will cost. Does anyone know where the $160k figure comes from? They didn't mention it during the Los Angeles event as far as I can recall...
