    FSD Transfer

    Same. Went into a showroom ready to buy, guy ran my VIN and he said cars all have either a 1 or a 2 code beside them, my VIN code returned a 2 and so it was not eligible. (He didn't know why, he hypothesized it might have had to do with my AP hardware version.) However I suspect it is the...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    If you can install solar and the pw2 at the same time, you should be able to get the 30% PTC on the pw2 also.

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    Anyone have SRP and solar on the 'new' TOU plan with peak usage charges? Wondering if one PW2 is enough to peak shave so you aren't getting killed by BS peak charges.

    Audio difference between slacker and bluetooth

    Update for all of you also having this issue - I turned off "normalization" in spotify's settings and the problem appears to have gone away. This is strange because it's ONLY a problem on the 3. S works fine with normalization on, and so do other BT connections, so it's some kind of model3 bug.

    Audio difference between slacker and bluetooth

    Phone is an iPhone XS, quality is 160kbit/sec through spotify. Spotify sounds great from iphone over bluetooth to other sources (home stereo etc.) Volume is turned up on the phone. Maybe I need a service center appointment.

    Audio difference between slacker and bluetooth

    Has anyone else noticed a pronounced difference in audio quality between bluetooth and internal sourced music like slacker? My bluetooth sounds like it is playing underwater on the 3. Source is spotify on high quality downloads. I have an S also and bluetooth sounds great in the S. I also...

    Poll: AWD M3s software upgradable to performance edition some day?

    So.... Tesla parts catalog came out, and the front and rear motors are the same part (with inverter apparently built into the assembly) for all AWD LR cars. Anyone want to change their vote? https://epc.teslamotors.com/#/systemGroups/47412...

    Option theoretic implications of taking Tesla private

    Agree with your last line. I'm not sure if this is shorts not understanding the 'first principles of market physics" (scary, for them) or intentional FUD.

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Can you imagine a situation where the institutionals mostly stay in? For example.. transfer their ownership from a fund that invests in public companies to one that is focused on privates. Or set up TSLA as an unlisted public company, such that institutionals could remain? Or use some kind of...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    No doubt there is a lot of quiet buying going on. Whoever is backing this has incentive to control as much as possible before the vote. Not just for getting control at less than $420, but because they understand the game, while all the retails don't. They are going to want the # of shares...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Elon staying silent on this is almost certainly a bear trap. "Oh but surely it would have leaked...." The investors going in on this likely already own some amount of Tesla stock. They have a huge financial incentive to NOT leak anything. The more bears caught in the bear trap, the less it...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    If the squeeze was triggered by the share recall a couple weeks before the vote, the squeeze would push the share price well above $420 and kill the deal. (Note - no reason Elon couldn’t do this knowing the vote would fail, but the shorts would get slaughtered in the process. They would short...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I think there is something here we are not privy to. Elon said to expect the “short burn of the century” which I don’t think was a 30-40% hit. The thing is, Elon is a wild genius. Shorts hope this means he is delusional, but these are the guys saying Tesla is doomed for 15 years. Being...

    2013 P85+ Metallic Grey 52K Miles

    There are 10 P85's on EV-CPO in the high 40k/ low 50k range. Wait until those are sold, then you will have an easier time selling yours :) Prior to the "dump" this week, and for the last 6 months, it has been difficult to buy a P85 CPO for less than about $60k from Tesla.

    Gauging interest in my CPO 2014 Model S 60 in Durham, NC

    Sounds reasonable to me. I wouldn't pay attention to what Model S used to sell for, people seeing the Model 3 final price and waitlist length are very obviously driving up demand for used S.

    2013 P85 for sale, white / tan, loaded

    Model 3 Center Display

    Don't worry. You'll hear people complain about it every day for the next 5 years. It was a dumb decision, it is naturally going to generate a lot of complaints.

    Elon says no Central Speedometer

    Yep. Cause Elon never makes dumb decisions that he later admits he regrets. /s We can tell from this thread, at least 1/4 to 1/2 of die-hard Tesla fans will be willing to put up with a crappy display/UI no matter what. The general public may or may not be willing to overlook these strange...

    What would make you cancel your Model 3 Reservation?

    Possible outcome: Fossil fuel interests feeling threatened decide this is a good time to strategically spend a couple of hundred million to beat up Tesla/EVs Spend their money on influencing the automotive press, pop culture, reviews and bloggers, viral media. "iPad on a selfie-stick" car...

    What would make you cancel your Model 3 Reservation?

    I think the aesthetic of it is so bad (ipad on a selfie stick) that the functionality of it is irrelevant.

    What would make you cancel your Model 3 Reservation?

    Just got off the phone with a relative who rode in my S and was interested in putting down a deposit on a Model 3. Until she saw the floating center screen, that was such a turn off she is no longer interested in the car. Floating center screen dash is going to go down as Obvious Mistake that...

    To be fair, the Model S is superior in almost every way to the Roadster... and the S is a lot cheaper.

    Sorry, I don't want your endless list of compromises telling me to be OK with what I don't want. I want a car that is all-electric, no compromises.

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    You know the rediculous thing? Las Palomas has unused golf cart charger connections but won't allow EV owners to charge there. Not even if you offer to pay for the electricity. Believe me, I have offered both feedback and complaints to Las Palomas for other issues. They truly do not care about...

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    I probably would, but I'm going down for a volleyball tournament. The ONLY hotel in Rocky Point that will allow our group to have a tournament is Las Palomas, everyone other resort's owners association says they don't want us. And in Rocky Point, if you don't have the armband for a particular...

    Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson Corridor

    Has anyone driven down to Rocky Point and used the Sonoran Sun charger? I've heard both that you MUST stay at Sonoran Sun, and that you can pay a fee and charge there if you are staying elsewhere. I am staying a few resorts over and wondering if anyone has ever successfully charged at Sonoran...

    electrician recommendation for HPWC in phoenix?

    I have an electrician in Phoenix who will swap out your entire electrical panel to a brand new 200 amp unit for $1500 (that is crazy cheap) or will run a 50 amp circuit to your garage for $300-$400 depending on length of the run. 480-694-6531 He also does solar electrical for Solar City /...

    2013 P85 Ext Warranty $50k

    Hey there. There are two service packages, the ESA (warranty) and the prepaid annual services (necessary to be "in compliance" with the ESA). Sounds like you only have the ESA, and are paying out of pocket for each annual service visit?

    CPO during the long wait?

    Buy a CPO now, move to the front of the line and guarantee a $7,500 tax rebate on your 3. Yes, my S will depreciate. But Uncle Sam will pick up most of the tab through a rebate I otherwise may not have gotten.

    Model "S" P100D Range at Wide Open Throttle?

    To add to this.. it is a very drivable supercar. You can commute every day in it, you can hand it to your mother in law to run to the store, and you can beat every production car ever made off the line. Oh, then you can haul the kids to hockey with a trunk full of hockey gear. That is the true...

    The Model 3 I want is getting pretty expensive

    I'm looking at getting a used P85 to "hold me over" right now. Private party on ebay, they go for as low as $45k nicely equipped, usually with a couple of premium options like leather, pano, sound, or air suspension. $53k gets you a similar, lower-mileage P85 with a CPO warranty. If something...
