Take it to a custom audio shop with good experience fabricating custom enclosures. Have them fab your small form factor safe into the console. I'd have it hollowed all the way to under the arm rest and place the access point under there or near the phone charger ledge. Only other option with...

Yeah, because all progressives and those on the left dont own/know anything about firearms. You can also still feel the Bern AND be a staunch supporter of 2A rights.

Plastic weld a patch over the hole. No longer an issue.

Since when do Arachnids go for 6k?

Define early VIN

You don't get a loaner because some soccer mom or mid life crisis dude rolls up in a maxed out S or X to get their tires rotated, everything checked for some rattle they cant reproduce at drop off and complains about some paint issue they recently had pointed out by their work friends and they...

A 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 5.7L Hemi

Sorry, but my takeaway from this entire thread is your buddy had white seats, you saw them and regretted buying black seats. Then you decided to upgrade to a Performance while you were at it and wanted Tesla to foot the bill in some way shape or form because you had minor issues that some...

I only ever sit during the busiest times where I may have to wait 10 minutes to plug in. After that, it doesnt matter how long it takes because the charger is in a Target parking lot, where I do my grocery shopping. By the time I check out I am fully charged. (It also helps I never run my car...

I just wanna know what bitrate Spotify Premium is streaming at in the Model 3. Slacker seemed awful to me.

Is there a compiled thread of all the 3s with reported rust? I finally remembered to check it today after work. Feb of 2018 build, first 10K ish built. Not only is there rust on the quarter panel and the body panel, there is also rust on the first visible bolt right below it. When I took...

I also got my car fixed today, only to have to go back and have them reorder a rear bumper because it doesn't match the car. It's several shades lighter blue than the car. They said they'll even order two and show me both in order to ensure I get a good match. The front bumper is very slightly...

I've been driving this car since March of 2018 with 25k and change on the odometer. I set my foot to 75 and go, its uphill for the first 20 miles or so, then a steep decline for 3 or so then a good mix for a bit ending in a flat final stretch of 3 miles with a 55 speed limit. Then a final mile...

I drive 70 miles of interstate most days with some days being 100 and a trip for 340 miles once a month. I average 228 wh/mi sticking to 75mph. Driving over 75 will definitely drain your battery. Depending on temp, some days I have arrived to work at as low as 212 wh/mi. It is all in how...

I didn't like it because you don't have a car, I liked this because I am still with bumpers after almost 10 months. 5 weeks ago the timeline was "3-4 weeks."

Ok so add 350 to what I posted then. You do realize itemization has to surpass standard deduction to be the best option? Even an accountant was unable to come up with enough to maximize the rebate. You're talking about a solid 26k increase in tax liability to get the full rebate. All of this...

First of all everyone's tax situation is different. Being in a situation where you rated less than the full tax credit at 7500 means it is almost certain that no matter how much itemization you did, you would not eek out another 3100. 50% of my pay is not taxed i.e. not even factored in when...

I paid 56500 March of 2018 plus 975 destination and 75 docs. 57500 premium upgrade, EAP, Blue, 19s LR RWD. I paid 2k for FSD after for 59500 pre tax. I received 4400 of the 7500 rebate. I can buy a Performance for $5125 more with the current rebate and get all the same EAP features. That is...

Yeah I can agree with that. I would at least specify that distinction you are making in the future. I am curious why most of them are so low. Even SoCal ones are low and you have to drive on a freeway to get just about everywhere so you will rack up miles.

National average is 13476 on a 13-14 month old car that's around 1k per i.e. not high mileage, it's average.

Even first year depreciation of 25% is higher than average. Federal credit WAS 7500. As active duty military I only received 4400 because 50% of my pay is tax free. Given the income requirements, I imagine alot of non military buyers also did not receive the full 7500. But that's not the point...

I would disagree. It shows the cars aren't holding value well since mark up on trade ins is in the 10-15% range. In case of car max my car would have been resold for around 15% at 41400 which is exactly what Tesla is selling them at as used inventory without FSD. So Tesla is shooting for an even...

You'd be wrong. 16 month old '18 LR RWD everything but FSD 57500 pre tax 19917 miles later(less than 15k/yr): Tesla trade in value 33,200 or 42% depreciation. Car max trade in value 36,000 or 37% depreciation. This is far higher than the average first year depreciation values. So much for all...

1. Repair time/part availability 2. RESALE VALUE 3. Tesla doesn't sell a perfect fit windshield sunscreen 4. Volatile pricing 5. That I can't find more excuses to drive it

Yes it is a 3. I have owned it since March of 2018. Parts can come painted or unpainted. According to the service center in San Diego they come pre painted the majority of the time, as they order them under owner VIN through the parts catalog, where each color fascia has its own individual part...

Yes, the quote in my post outlines the entire timeline which puts it at roughly 9 months from initial contact with the Tesla body repair reps.

The quote is my experience from another thread I replied to back in April. It is now half way through June and I am STILL waiting. To be fair, I do not know if the bumpers actually ever existed. The Service Centers current response is "the place where we have all our parts painted is on a...

I had an object fall off a military vehicle on a base in SoCal and while I almost swerved out of the way it still penetrated the lower driver side front bumper fascia and scuffed it in several spots before hitting the ground. The damage was significant enough to try and replace my bumper...

The real question is, if the M3 is commercial duty grade and will last to 300k with ease, why the hell is the warranty only 4yrs/50k on the car? That's great that the motors and battery are covered, but its at 1/3 of his recent claim. What does it matter if the power train lasts if the car...

Ok then, so how much were the recent price drops? That minus the current average market value is your answer.

Look at the market, do not listen to anyone here. The used market is large enough now to give you an accurate price.

Exactly, and people are here on the forums complaining about 1-4k.

Looks like some sort of 90 day price protection for 2019 owners to me.

Their prices dropped exponentially more than anything going on here.

There is no making it right. You agreed to a price in a major financial transaction because at the time you were ok with it being vaporware. Now that the price has changed you are not ok with it. That's fine you are entitled to your disappointment but it does not obligate Tesla to do anything...

I disagree, it's the forum equivalent of shaking your head in disagreement while someone speaks.

I beg your pardon?

More accurately SOME had the opportunity for 3750 more or the potential. Not all.

Because I don't believe in hand outs and clearly neither does Tesla. They owe you nothing.

If you bought FSD in 2018 for 3k on top of your 5k EAP, you can stop complaining, unless 1k is REALLY that big of a deal to you. Those of us who didn't buy FSD in 2018 at purchase will get it for 2k, this is not that big of a deal. If you really feel that betrayed by it, maybe you should...

Wait the tax credit should not have affected the price of the car but all the tools on this forum say it should be subtracted from the price of a used one? Which is it?

My insurance went DOWN, car had no issues at delivery and I was a MAR 18 delivery, no issues with service center wait (and SD is slammed), my loan for 50% of the vehicle took 10 minutes? at the bank, etc. My car is early production and has no flaws other than the interior a pillar missing clip...

I am not retired but did not get the full 7500. I only received roughly half. The current tax code also lost me around 1400 of the rebate total compared to my 2017 taxable income which would have given me about 3/4 of the credit. Having 50% of your income non taxable is lame in this ONE...

Considering there are around 200 side impact deaths a year and 5000 semi truck involved deaths per year I'd say this is a problem. The best technology to avoid a crash is the thing between your ears: Pay attention while using your autopilot folks.

Keep in mind that is not directed specifically at you, but the various people complaining on this forum. The forums are a vocal MINORITY of Tesla's customer base. They are the I want to speak to your manager haircut having white ladies of Tesla owners.

Tesla isn't making anyone feel cheated. That is a self borne response to an event that you perceive to be detrimental to yourself. If you feel you got cheated by a corporation that will exist with or without you and therefore does not base it's decisions on you or care for your opinion then I...

I'm sorry I should have been more direct. It was great.

I'd say a couple of weeks is a good time to wait. Once all the forum induced confusion is over. The HW upgrades are worth 2k but I'm sure someone like Fred over at Elektrek or whoever will complain and it will end up being free or something. Who knows. Does not matter. People can complain and...

I'd say its worth it for HW updates and eventual "FSD" upgrades. HW alone is a big sticking point.
