Can you link or name the products you used? How has it been going after a couple of months of use?

There are two issues with losing regen braking in the winter: Issue 1: you lose regen when the battery is cold (this has been discussed a great deal in this thread) Issue 2: standard regen is dangerous in snow, there is no ABS with regen so you will lose traction and spin out If you live in an...

Plasti Dip is a good idea. I was going to remove or black out the 3D logo, but decided to reinterpret the logo as a Tesla Model 3D badge on the floor mat. With that interpretation, I like the logo.

It won't affect current cash flows, but cash flows are no the same as revenue, margins, and profit. For every FSD they sell, they will need to account for it as a "customer prepayment" which is a liability and not counted in revenue, as "unearned revenue", or as some other liability. The...

Yep, quite a few AWD price changes. You even missed one, it went from $4k to $5k before going up to $6k. $6k was always crazy as AWD as an option on the S and X was $5k. The only reason they upped to $6k (my theory) is to push demand to the non-AWD version to more efficiently use the...

LR AWD price was reduced by $1k.

@daniel when you asked about how to use the Persistent Notification, you were replying to @LucyferSam, who is an Android user. All of my comments were about how to do this on Android since you didn't mention you wanted to know how to do it on Apple. I was explaining how @LucyferSam did it.

Why do you say that? I would argue that AP buyers still haven't gotten what they bargained for. AP 2.0 (or 2.5) has only recently started to outperform AP 1.0. Prior to that AP 1.0 was better even though 2.0/2.5 was much more expensive. Autopilot was advertised as providing "on-ramp to...

How did the freeway test go?

Not the widget, the actual Tesla app. The persistent notification will have Tesla, the time, the name of your car, and then connected or disconnected. To the right of the time is a little down arrow. Click that and you will get additional options. Other persistent notifications also have...

Paying for a speculative bit of software that may never be delivered on a 30-36 month lease would be a bad financial decision. At least the FSD should increase the residual value so they will get some of the money back, although they wouldn't have received any value from the feature...

First - if you don't have a permanent notification then you will have problems using the auto lock/unlock since Android may disable the Tesla app to save power. The purpose of the permanent notification is to keep it active so the phone as key works more reliably. There is no option to turn...

There is big difference between "zero issues" and "I couldn't tell the difference". I'm surprised by the number of people voting "I couldn't tell the difference". I voted that it hinders visibility. I installed Suntek CIR 20 (~24% VLT) on the sides and CIR 30 (~34% VLT) on the rear. At...

OP said it was a full front cover, not a full cover. That typically means the full hood is done instead of just 2 foot or so of the hood. That is in addition to the other front parts would also be done in a partial front cover (e.g. headlights, bumper, fenders, and possibly mirrors). $2k is...

I had Suntek CIR 20 on the side windows and CIR 30 in a single sheet on the back. In bright sunlight I wish it was darker and it is easy to see through. When overcast/twilight, it is perfect. At night, with auto-dimming mirrors plus the tint, it is really hard to see anything in the side...

I got my rear window tinted (Suntek CIR 30%) and I'm not too concerned about cracking but there is a slight risk. The reason tinting *might* cause cracking is because the rear glass is laminated (2 panes of glass sandwiched together). If the temperature gradient between the inner and outer...

Ordered 7/23, paid $159.98, and it shipped today (9/25).

Software releases could impact financials in two ways: 1. The software has some great new functionality that drives people who hadn't bought the software before to buy it now (applies to both EAP and FSD). 2. They start releasing FSD features that allows them to start recognizing the revenue...

I found the exact same handles from SAAB here for $16.50 each (plus $4 shipping): SAAB Trunk Handle for BMW

It should be easy to dispute if you have a purchase agreement showing the base price as $35. For the person that initially paid 385 and then 600 on renewal, they really should dispute the higher amount since they must have a purchase agreement at $35k for which the initial $385 was based...

I spoke with a manager at the Bellevue DC and was told that the pricing page and base RTA tax calculation is based on when you place the order. She did confirm that some people showed $35000 base while other showed a different number. The difference was based on how the pricing sheet worked on...

@drawfor Depending on when you took delivery, that might just happen. But that is due to very unique circumstances. 1. If you took delivery prior to May 31, you paid $3,500 less in sales tax than a buy would today. (Will buyers at the start of 2019 get this)? 2. If you configured prior to...

Has anyone been able to get the purchase agreement edited to show $35k base and itemize the options like long range and premium package?

@drawfour what did your MVPA and Monroney say? Here's how my Monroney showed the price causing the higher RTA tax on $53k. If your's shows the $35k base, I will ask for a change.

@drawfour - I got a AWD model which is $53k: $35k (base), $9k (LR), $5k (Premium Interior), and $4k (AWD) and then the "options" of Obsidian Black, EAP, FSD, which were all listed seperately. The purchase agreement shows a base price of $53k with the LR, interior, AWD as "included". Checking...

I'm scheduled to pickup on Sunday and the MVPA is showing $583 for the tax. The configuration paperwork had it at $385. For people taking delivery now, what are they paying?

Insight might not have as great of a rate. I started the application process since it was listed at only 2.15%, but on one of the first disclosures it said that the rates were effective as of June 15, 2018. So they probably went up since then. If you do apply through Insight, let us know the...

How did you get the match with LS? What information did you need to provide from SDMCU? I got approved for 2.49% from SDMCU but only have screenshots from the website saying I was approved and what the application terms were (amount and duration), not the rate. I am also approved with LS, but...

That could have been a great resource, but of the 5 credit unions I checked, the rates on that resource were all out of date and the current rates were much higher.

I have no personal experience, but am considering the same. One user on Reddit mentioned using D & A Customs (D&A Customs - Seattle, WA). He said that place had been recommended by the SODO SC.
