    Order Process for FSD Transfer

    I received the email from Tesla a few minutes ago. In the end, I think I’m just going to keep my current car. Tesla’s trade-in offer for my Model 3 was awful, and I don’t really want to deal with the stress and hassle of trying to time the sale of my car so I can use that cash to pay for the...

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    Thanks. I'll likely just keep my Model 3 rather than deal with the hassle.

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    It seems difficult to sell the car since don't you need to still own it when you take delivery of the new Tesla, if you're doing the free FSD transfer? I'd rather have the cash from the sale of my current car to use to pay for the new vehicle, as I won't be financing the new one.

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    Has anyone else received a trade in quote from Tesla that seems terribly low? I was quoted $24,400 trade-in value by Tesla for a Long Range AWD 2018 red Model 3 with white interior, acceleration boost, and 42,000 miles, which is $6,000-$7,000 below what KBB shows as trade-in value and about...

    Order Process for FSD Transfer

    Has anyone ordered a new Tesla recently while using the free FSD transfer? I'm thinking about trading in my 2018 Long Range Model 3 towards a new Performance Model Y, and I'd like to transfer FSD from my Model 3 to the new Model Y. Do I just order a new Model Y as usual through the Tesla app...

    Can’t Connect iPhone 13 Pro with Bluetooth [solved]

    Edit: If anyone else experiences this issue, I was able to pair the iPhone 13 Pro with my Model 3 using this method: 1. Turn off Bluetooth on the iPhone 13 Pro. 2. In the Bluetooth settings on the Model 3’s screen, touch the Search button to search for a new Bluetooth device. 3. Enable...

    Jeda USB Hub Vs. Taptes USB Hub

    The Jeda hub works perfectly for me along with an external SSD and a Jeda charging mat plugged into it. You made a mistake buying the inferior Taptes clone.

    Model 3 spoiler copy

    I just finished installing the SUMK spoiler on my Model 3, and I’m very happy with it. It fit perfectly, and everything needed to do a good installation was included. I was a little hesitant due to the laughably bad English language description on Amazon (the included instructions are equally...

    Wrapped the inside of my steering wheel matte white

    I thought I’d give this a try this weekend, but the nut that needs to be loosened to remove the steering wheel will not break loose for me. My car was built in the fall of 2018, and I can’t break it loose using a ratchet with 3 feet long piece of pipe used for more leverage. I feel like if I...

    Vendor Black Matte Metal Tesla license plate frames

    I’d like to order 2 of the $22 Black Satin Metal License Plate Frame, but it looks like I can currently only 1. Any chance I could get 2?

    Wireless Charging Options

    Taptes is Chinese counterfeit/clone garbage. Don’t support these type of companies. Buy from Jeda, who actually designed the products. Buying from companies that design nothing and sell products whose designs they stole discourages people from designing new products.

    Hide SSD in New Model X

    My Model 3 burned through flash drives like crazy, so I moved to an SSD which has never had an issue. SSD drives are also now nearly as cheap as flash drives.

    Hide SSD in New Model X

    Does anyone know of a way to hide a Samsung T5 SSD in a brand new Model X, which has the wireless phone charger cradle near the USB ports? I’m asking for a relative who hasn’t received the Model X they ordered yet, but they’re hoping to not have the SSD, which will be used for TeslaCam, sitting...

    USB port management if the Dashcam update in Rev 9 takes 1 port

    There is no passthrough hole. I think in that video he’s just referring to an empty area where you can stuff excess cabling.

    Radar detectors

    I had the BlendMount installed with my Escort radar detector today, and it looks and works great. Here is a picture I took. You can’t tap into the mirror for switched 12v power. The installer tapped into switched 12v in the area near the dead pedal in the driver’s area under the dash. This...

    3D Maxpider Kagu Mats for Model 3

    It was surprisingly easy. The metal button caps are made of very soft metal (maybe plastic) and are just clipped onto the pole poking through the mat. I used needle nose pliers, and the caps came right off. I just finished filling the holes left behind by putting some black Permatex silicone...

    3D Maxpider Kagu Mats for Model 3

    I received the mats today and used pliers to remove the 3D logo. These pictures show what it looks like after I removed them. I think they look a lot better without the 3D logo.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    My car was delivered today, and I received an email with the VIN 8 days ago on the 4th. Elon tweeted today that Tesla delivery advisors are running behind due to the number of recent deliveries. My delivery went perfectly today at Littleton. I hope it’s the same for all of you too.

    Insurance - my provider won't insure Model 3

    I have used State Farm for all of my insurance for over 20 years. Insuring my non-P AWD Model 3 is $5 less per month than insuring my Audi A3 Quattro was. There is no chance I would ever agree to anything that allows an insurance company to track my driving.

    Vendor Open Source DIY Model 3 Console Wrap Template

    I’m really hoping that white door trim kit will be available soon. I have an appointment for October 4th to have a detailer install the console wrap, and he told me he’d install the door kit wrap for only a little extra cost if I have both done at the same time.

    Vendor Open Source DIY Model 3 Console Wrap Template

    Let's talk financing rates

    Has anyone used Tower Federal Credit Union for their loan or to do the Rate Beat with Lightstream? I’m wondering what Tower’s signup process is - like how much you have to donate to their charity to join and whether or not you can get your loan terms from them before you have to join.

    Let's talk financing rates

    For Lightstream unsecured loans, am I correct that this is the process people are following? 1. Apply for and get approved for an unsecured loan with Lightstream. 2. Shop around at credit unions and get the lowest auto loan rate possible. 3. With Lightstream’s Rate Beat program, you send...

    Performance Model 3 Vs. Audi RS3

    I owned an Audi A3 Quattro for 3 years and just sold it a month ago, as I wait for delivery of my Model 3 awd. I liked the car, but it was in the shop about 2-3 times a year for days at a time for minor repairs. Audi does give free loaner cars, but it was still a pain to deal with. The...
