    New Tesla Service Center & Store in West Palm Beach!

    It sure is odd that the dealership was done six months ago and they never moved in. Any information? Appears to be an effect of the cash crunch.

    Tesla Stores

    I hate FUD as much as anyone. No question shorts are spreading it. However, it’s good to honestly look at some of the business practices lately. Firing you’re entire sales staff within three days at this one location isn’t a good look. If I was an Associate of a company, I’d hope that’s not the...

    Tesla Stores

    Yes. This is the combo service and sales location on Dyer which is planned to move to the location in West Palm. The service center staff is obviously still there. The new location on Okechobee Blvd in the former Volvo dealership has been remodeled months ago, but for some reason they haven’t...

    Tesla Stores

    I was at the West Palm Beach store yesterday and this sign was on the door. There were no sales staff at all in the store. Plus this space used to have a car in it. This all seems very sudden.

    30% Tax Credit for HPWC?

    I’m trying to complete my taxes. It looks like this tax credit and the credit for the electrician expired in 2017. Just want to confirm this is correct. Thanks!

    Recommendations for Wrap/Tint in Palm Beach / Broward County Areas

    I had Auto Supershield do a full wrap of Suntek Ultra on my Model 3. They did excellent work. I was very happy.

    Supercharger - West Palm Beach, FL - Garden Road

    I received a reply back from Tesla that this issue has been reported to the supercharging team. At least they’re aware of it. Hopefully between Tesla and Wawa corporate these spots won’t be ICED as frequently. I’m still not that optimistic with this busy location though.

    Supercharger - West Palm Beach, FL - Garden Road

    I sent a message to Tesla with escalation to an Executive. I though they should be aware of what’s going on. Not sure of the solution though.

    Supercharger - West Palm Beach, FL - Garden Road

    RIP FSD

    Interestingly, I checked my vehicle details page tonight and full self driving has been restored as an option to my car.

    RIP FSD

    I had full self driving listed in the options section on my vehicle details page, but now it is gone. Curious if others have had the same thing happen?

    Center Console Scratches

    That’s an interesting option. I just wrapped my car in Suntek Ultra. My detailer has offered to cover the center console in either the matte or clear option of Suntek Ultra. I’m tempted to go with the matte option instead of the piano black look.

    Center Console Scratches

    Just got a call from the service center. They’re working with the distribution team to get me a new center console that won’t be scratched in shipping. But... He then tells me I don’t want to get your hopes up but another solution might be in the works. He said he would touch base with me on...

    Center Console Scratches

    Definitely plan on getting it wrapped in PPF. I just first need to get an unscratched console.

    Center Console Scratches

    Tesla is having problems with the center console. My center console was scratched on delivery. I now have had two successive attempts to replace it. Both attempts have had the replacement parts also scratched. Tesla said the center console part is wrapped in bubble wrap but it is so scratch...

    2018.18.13

    I observed that the auto windshield wipers is working better with 18.13 than 18.03. I had noticed on 18.03 that in very light rain the wipers would not come on or move as frequent as they should. This appeared to be better in 18.13 as I had a light rain scenario happen last night.

    Touch up paint for aero wheel

    I unfortunately scraped my rim from improperly trying to put on my Aero covers as I wasn’t paying attention to the valve stem location. I used Duplicolor and am happy with the results. I will say that I did have to resand after applying a couple of times and used Optimum wash and no rinse car...

    New Model 3 Seats!

    I wouldn’t worry about it. I rode in a Model 3 with the old seats and didn’t notice a difference until Kim’s video. I thought the old seats were nicer than the S and X as well. It’s a great car. You’re going to love it!

    New Model 3 Seats!

    I have Pearl White with a vin over 1476X and less than 148XX I have Gen 2’s in the front and Gen 1s in the back. The gen 2 fronts feel better than the S or the X seats to me.

    FPCU

    I had a good experience with them so I wouldn’t say that they are always “this or that”. I would suggest getting multiple approvals, but you may still want to check out FPCU because of their great rates. I did get 2.24% for 72 months so they do write loans for this term on a model 3. I suspect...

    FPCU

    I’m not debating that someone else didn’t have a bad experience, but I’m just communicating my experience and it was very smooth. The interest rate is locked for 6 years and the only condition the rate can change is it can go up by a quarter of a percent if I discontinue automatic payments which...

    FPCU

    Inclusive of the required $1000 deposit and $2500 at time of configuration, my total down payment was $16,700 (inclusive of $4,200 trade). My total monthly payments are $638 for 72 months with a total of $42,944 financed. The total interest cost for the 72 month loan is only $2,990. For me...

    FPCU

    I was putting a fair amount down, so they offered me these terms at 72 months. However, it's my understanding this is approved on a case by case basis depending on credit score and down payment amount.

    FPCU

    I want to thank Manuel De La Torre for my loan at FPCU. I would definitely suggest anyone who is looking for a good interest rate to call FPCU. Although there is no rate lock until the final contract from Tesla, it worked out great in my instance as I still was able to get 2.24% after I sent the...

    Would You Take Delivery?

    I would have no problems doing this had it not been for the install of PPF. My detailer is highly regarded but doesn’t do paint work so if the paint is not right, it has to be repaired before the PPF install. Otherwise, this is a logical solution and avoids a delay in delivery.

    Would You Take Delivery?

    Thank you for the tip. I called my detailer and reminded him that the delay is due to a repaint of the bumper and asked him if there needs to be time between the repaint and install of Suntek Ultra PPF. He said yes and recommended a week, so I’ve delayed the time that I’ll drop off the car. I...

    Would You Take Delivery?

    That’s a good idea. I told them they were repainting it and we needed to reschedule. We rescheduled for the morning after I take delivery. I’ll call them to see what they say about this timeline.

    Would You Take Delivery?

    Tesla just called me. They’re going to bring it into the body shop for repair. I’m glad this is happening and it’s getting fixed before delivery.
  29. B

    Would You Take Delivery?

    Yeah. They said that Tesla should fix it before I bring it to them. If I wasn’t spending so much money for this car, I’d probably be fine with it, but this car is over double what I’ve ever spent on a car and that’s why I’m getting PPF and C-Quartz. So for these reasons, I’m going to want the...

    Would You Take Delivery?

    I spoke to my detailer. They have been highly reviewed, but they don’t do paint correction besides a clay bar polish. Their advice was if the paint is broken, Tesla needs to fix it before taking delivery.

    Would You Take Delivery?

    I appreciate the suggestion, but I have planned a Suntek ultra wrap on the front end plus a C Quartz coating. If the front end isn’t repaired it kind of defeats the purpose of the clear bra.

    Would You Take Delivery?

    Unfortunately my Model 3 arrived to the delivery location, but it’s got a small scrape on the front bumper from transport. I’ve communicated with my ISA communicating that I’m aware of the damage and that I want it corrected before I take delivery. I would prefer not to refuse vin since my loan...

    Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit

    Tesla has now updated the product page indicating to expect at least 8 weeks for this product to be fulfilled. Not sure if it will be 8 weeks for orders from this past weekend to be delivered, but it will probably be an extended wait.

    Trunk size for golfer

    The trunk is plenty big for at least two full sized bags. I put my bag in it yesterday with plenty of room to spare. I suspect four bags will fit in the trunk.

    If you installed a HPWC running a 60 Amp Circuit, how much was the cost for the electrician?

    I paid $700, with about 50 feet of conduit run. There was no permitting costs and the breaker was in the garage with no modifications necessary. Curious what everyone else paid.
