    Crackling noise

    I'm on this thread because I've noticed this too - It sounds like a known issue for Tesla - so hopefully will get isolated and fixed soon...

    Who's tinted their windows?

    Here's my new Model 3 with Llumar FormulaOne Stratos window tint: - 70% for the windshield - 35% on sides and back - Nothing on the roof, due to concerns about cracking ($450 for sides and back, $200 for windshield)

    Are electricians price gouging because you bought a tesla model 3?

    Here in Scottsdale, I went with AZ Charging Specialists / Quickturn (John C was my contact). As I mentioned, they had a great price, strong online reviews, and they did a great job. Good luck!

    Are electricians price gouging because you bought a tesla model 3?

    Here in Phoenix, AZ, I focused on the Tesla-approved electricians. I got quotes from 6 different electricians (including one not on the Tesla list) for install of 2 HPWCs that I provided (My electrical was already upgraded to 390 amps, so no changes needed there) I was amazed by the...

    Order estimate pushed back

    Invited 4/18, configured 4/19. Red with sport wheels. Just got the delay until June :( Wonder if being on West Coast gets June, East Coast gets July?

    Black and White Premium Ventilated Seats are back -- P100D

    In my location (Arizona), ventilated seats would be huge... but not willing to jump up to P pricing to get. Maybe an option for X100D soon?

    Anyone taken delivery of cream seats with oak decor?

    <bump> I'm also interested - I was all set on the old cream interior (Blue + cream) - this oak is causing me to rethink my entire plan...

    Tesla Warranty Issue + Impact on XPEL Wrap

    I also noticed this wording use in your original post: - I'm pretty sure that Tesla did not TELL you to get the seat wrapped. - Back to the original post: I'm pretty sure Tesla did not "advise" you to get the seat wrapped. Both of these examples are you implying that Tesla actively PUSHED you...

    Woohoo Got An Awesome Insurance Rate

    My scenario wasn't a company insurance, but I found Ameriprise (through Costco) to be the best deal for Tesla insurance... (and Liberty Mutual was best deal for homeowner's in my case - I started with them - insuremytesla.com )

    Home Wall Connector Installation - Circuit Breaker Size?

    Here's what I found about moving from a 90 amp to 100 amp circuit for 2 HPWCs: In my locality, changing to 100 amp circuit requires moving up to a 2 gauge wire = much thicker and harder to bend. My electrician said #2 wire almost doesn't fit into HPWC. So, since this is such an edge use case...

    Home Wall Connector Installation - Circuit Breaker Size?

    I'm not really looking for max power to both cars at the same time - If I wanted that, I would do two separate circuits. When talking about a 90amp vs 100amp circuit for two chargers, I'm talking about the fact that the "max" for one car will be limited to 64 amps (72 amps - 8amps) if the...

    Home Wall Connector Installation - Circuit Breaker Size?

    Good point about "need". I don't think it's a big deal - just trying to do it right... #1 Capacity: We went solar two years ago - at that time I had our panel upgraded from 200 amps to 375 amps (specifically to add capacity for electric car charging). So, I think we have the room for...

    Home Wall Connector Installation - Circuit Breaker Size?

    Here's my planned scenario: Two HPWCs for one Model X (72A max) and one Model 3 (lower max) My question: Is a shared 90 amp circuit sufficient or should I go with 100 amps? Reasoning: While the 90 amp is fine for just the Model X = 80% of 90amps = 72amps = Model X max. Having another vehicle...

    Tesla Referral Program

    Any Tesla credit included in the deal? Or did it drop down to be just supercharging?

    Tesla Referral Program

    BTW - Now that we're in May, what are the new referral code benefits for a BUYER? (i.e. can we still get free supercharging? Any sort of credit?) BTW: The existing owner REFERRAL benefits are here: Referral Program I'm looking for the benefits of using a referral code as a new BUYER. Thanks!

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    Tesla tends to add the capability, then announce it... BTW - I finally got my Model 3 configuration invite yesterday. My own internal questioning about the reason for this 3-5 day production pause is the only thing holding me back from ordering. Maybe it's just to improve production rates...

    4 Month Wait, not normal

    This is exactly why I'm waiting to order a Model X - I believe there will be a Model S/X refresh sometime very soon. Back in February, we saw a sudden jump from March to June on deliveries of Model X. My guess is the refresh is the reason for this quantum gap in deliveries. (I was actually...

    Priority change after buying a Tesla?

    What if I *order* a new Model X now (but delivery isn't until June) When does the "owner priority" kick in? (only after delivery?) My Model 3 reservation is from 31 March 2016.

    No recent VIN assignments?

    FYI - Reports are coming out today that Tesla suspended production of the Model 3 for 5 days in late February to address bottlenecks and improve automation. Tesla Temporarily Suspended Model 3 Production in Late February

    EV Tax Credit

    This is my bet. I'm ready to order a Model X, I'm just spooked that they'll do a big refresh right after I get mine. Instead, I'm waiting until the next refresh and THEN I will order. (or, if the tax credit is about to expire, I may just make the move, too). Willing to wait a few months to get...

    Non-Owner and On-line reservation received invite to order

    Actually, as all the non-owner, online orders were in California, I wonder if they're going back to the West to East roll-out schedule that they talked about. Next round of non-owner, online invites should test that theory...

    Is Model X production down?

    First, congratulation on the new Model X! Second, it looks like Tesla essentially put in a 2-3 month gap in Model X deliveries. (Your 2/2 order has already been filled... but an order placed now says June delivery = gap of ~2 to 3 months) Why the gap? a) As you say, prioritization for current...
  32. B

    Is Model X production down?

    Yes, good point - I've been going through history and it looks like the refresh announce date is about the same date they start manufacturing the newly-updated models. So, if I ordered today, the refresh announcement happens in April, and then June delivery, I should be covered. However, I...

    Is Model X production down?

    Here's my commentary on this delay: After years of lurking, we're finally about ready to order a Model X (Which should then also help unlock my Day 0 Model 3 reservation) However, this Model X delay until June is spooking me. - Are they really planning a refresh? After all this wait, I...

    Another coatings question, if you don't mind

    Isn't the best answer to use both PPF and the nano coating?

    Visual guideline for what’s on my garage floor

    To me, it's actually a bit more like Europe" Spain is dark brown, Southern France is Yellow, Italy Blue, Greece/Turkey are Red... I was just reading a thread about coolant leak / windshield wiper fluid. Perhaps a combination of that?

    Non Owner - Just Placed my Order

    Internet reservations opened up a few hours prior to the actual reveal event. Thus, in Arizona, I was able to reserve online at about 6pm... (I have not been invited to configure yet)

    Non Owner - Just Placed my Order

    Yes, as someone relatively close to the West, I am also surprised these non-owner configuraiton emails are not working out from California. Perhaps that West-East plan was just for the rollout to existing Tesla owners?

    Non Owner - Just Placed my Order

    Hmm... Sounds like the first batch of non-owner invites are all going to folks who waited in line... Wonder when it will switch over to people who ordered online? (like me, at about 6pm on launch day)
