    EV Car/My Tesla - An Alexa skill for Amazon Echo / Tesla integration

    It's mainly for the non-technical family members among us (at least for me). It's a lot easier to tell the wife the car needs to be woken up first (like most computers) than to tell her "Send the command you want but you'll get an error the first time. Don't worry, that error isn't a failure...

    EV Car/My Tesla - An Alexa skill for Amazon Echo / Tesla integration

    First off, thanks for all the work on this great app! One suggestion for the MCU2 owners among us who have difficulty getting our car to wake up quickly enough and lack the Always Connected option. Could you add an "Ask my car to wake up" command so we can just send a wake command without...

    Difficulty getting insurance quote with VIN

    My broker mentioned that both AAA and Progressive are identifying my AWD VIN as a RWD model. Progressive was able to manually adjust the value to match the AWD but AAA couldn't override the value to actually reflect the price of my car so it's a no go until they fix that (they have the best...

    Anxiously waiting an AWD review / videos

    Interestingly enough it was at 82.54 MPH and that also tells me I should be able to get a better one if I go all out for 1/8th of a mile. I'm pretty sure I was letting off the pedal by that point as the spots I did the 0-60s were too short to get much above 75 to 80 before curves came up and/or...

    Oh and best 1/8th was 8.42.

    I really would like to but having a hard time finding anywhere with enough length/empty enough to do it so far. Road trip time I suppose ;)

    In talking with the guy who lent it to me, it sounds like I just need more practice and a better place to do it (I.E. drive out to the boonies). I was having to go about 15 minutes between pulls and just randomly drive around to find straightaways with good roads and no people or other cars...

    No video I'm afraid lol, I don't have any sort of mount so it's probably going to require a second person for that since if I just stick it in the cupholder it goes flying :p

    So I've done a couple of dragy runs finally today but the problem is they're not great :confused: I've never done anything like this before so had reached out to the guy who lent me it to see if I'm doing something wrong but long story short: 4.67, 4.78, 4.78. Any ideas of what I'm...

    Yup, the first part of the purchase I had for a couple months before the car lol. Here's a pic right after I put them on: IMG_20180811_183427 by Chedawg posted Aug 13, 2018 at 11:12 PM

    My AWD Blue Model 3 with the Tesla wheel caps on instead of aeros.

    Anxiously waiting an AWD review / videos

    Yeah, my regular commute is quite short day to day so couldn't resist taking them off and putting on the black wheel cap kit. I'll probably put them on for long trips but those wheels are too pretty for me to be able to resist showing them off :)

    Anxiously waiting an AWD review / videos

    Same here. I can't remember, did you have the aero caps on or off? I took mine off this weekend.

    Also trying to find racing stripes somewhere by then too! In all seriousness, does a Dragy calculate slope or anything at all? I'm going to try and find either a relatively flat freeway on-ramp or some other sparsely populated separated highway with stop lights but just in case all I can find...

    Haha, I know I know, 14-50 done yesterday and working on the last piece of the puzzle... Confirmed with the guy that we're meeting at a local Tesla meetup tomorrow after work and he'll bring his Dragy. I'll see if he wants to join in for a run to film it too.

    Found someone local who has one, getting the 14-50 installed today so I can get above 90% charge and I promise hard numbers soon :)

    I just got my Blue AWD 3 and entirely agree! I drove a RWD model previously and had noticed the sense of a slow start. The AWD 0-20 is head snapping! I mean that literally as I was afraid I'd hurt my wife in the first launch after her head bounced off the seat.

    3D Maxpider Kagu Mats for Model 3

    Has anyone who's purchased the Kagu set for their 3 installed a center console wrap? Looks like I'll be getting my car before these so just trying to figure out which color looks best with them (Carbon Fiber, Matte Black, Satin Black, etc.).

    Reddit has a lot of trolls, they are being downvoted out of visibility though gradually at least. I for one want to thank you for posting the most substantial post on a non P AWD 3 so far, and entreat you to meet up with your new local buddy Gilscales to produce some Dragy numbers to entirely...

    Model 3 clearance question

    So a friend has a 2015 WRX and refused to even try to park in my driveway when he saw the dip/bump combo and my previous car (2012 Volvo S60 Polestar with front/side/rear skid/scuff plates that did make it a little lower) would scrape unless I cranked the wheel really hard to back out at an...

    Snow tire advice

    Gotcha, makes sense! Just scared me as I plan to sell the 18s as well and hadn't planned on needing two sets of TPMS for the winter tires and the Pilots :) For me, I'm getting TSportline wheels for the Pilots so planned to get the OEM Tesla TPMS from them. Might be worth a look for you as...

    Snow tire advice

    I'm also planning to use the Aero 18s as winter wheels, am I mistaken that the TPMS should actually stay with the wheel or did you transfer the ones from the 18s to your 19s when you had the Pilot Sports installed?

    Snow tire advice

    I've read just about every review I could find on the various winter tire options and while the X-Ice and Blizzak are well represented (and usually in some combo of 1 through 3 ranking with the Hakkapeliittas), I at least haven't seen any traditional publications that have even included the...

    For the cupholder inserts, see the first pics on this thread for an option that should be coming soon.

    Tire/wheel advice for Model 3

    This seems to be a bit of a theme lately on the forum so figured I'd take advantage and ask my question as well! I have the AWD Model 3 with 18" Aeros on order since late May and am not a tire/wheel guy prior to this purchase by any means so wanted to ask the experts if my entirely Internet...

    Poll: Now that they are increasing FSD from $3k to $5k, will you be purchasing it?

    I'll try to similarly avoid any tangent and let me say I'm completely with you that we should be concerned for the lack of oversight and accountability for law enforcement abuse in the US today. Just doubtful that the ability for cops to pull us over via overriding our automated cars will make...

    Poll: Now that they are increasing FSD from $3k to $5k, will you be purchasing it?

    I guess I’m confused what price you’re paying in your scenario... The loss of the ability to lead cops into high speed chases?

    Poll: Now that they are increasing FSD from $3k to $5k, will you be purchasing it?

    Same! I view anything beyond that as a bonus that I'm not expecting in the next couple of years.

    Poll: Now that they are increasing FSD from $3k to $5k, will you be purchasing it?

    I will be adding FSD now if I can do it without impacting my delivery since I'm unable to modify on the site any longer. The straw that broke the camel's back was the surprise 1K discount on AWD this week. Adding an extra 2K in financing at very low rates right now is worth it versus having to...

    I was a delivery specialist for many years- Ask Me Anything

    Thanks for all the insight, getting my AWD Model 3 later this summer hopefully and wanted to ask a more light hearted question... Are donuts the best way to get in your delivery specialist's good graces or are they getting old/something else preferred? I'm a bit OCD so may be a bit of a...
