Just remember, 48A is a lot of power to draw. With basic wiring, you’re going to need at least 6 gauge wiring to handle that current and heat dissipation. The other thing to look for is that the cable (doesn’t matter if it’s 110v extension cords or 240v generator) is properly UL certified...

Wait a second, are you saying that if I have both hands on the steering wheel, lightly applied, engage the FSD then the camera inside should be able to pick up that I am indeed paying attention to the road and NEVER nag me to touch the steering wheel? And if it does, causing me to look down and...

Check the floor (under the floor mats) for dampness. If you've been running the AC, there might be a clogged AC hose if the floors are damp.

Got a new hitch installed on the Refreshed 2022 Model S myself. It's just like the old hitch with a few new changes: * 4000 tow weight and a 400 lbs tongue weight. That surprised me! * Tesla has a new access port, so no drilling, cutting nor screwing around for the stealth aspect * The port...

Should show up as a Referral Bonus ($1000) on your purchase agreement. Should be automatic.

This is now 100% true. The methodology has changed from last year when I picked up my Tesla in Oregon, and registered it in NJ (road trip). They are now ONLY going to sell you the vehicle IN the State that you're registering your vehicle. Why? It was explained that they wanted to stop the...

About two weeks ago, decided to order a new MX - green light from the wife. My daily driver is a 2022 MS and if the boss says it is okay, why not right? 1. Registration. Looking at the Inventory available (strike while the iron is hot) I find out that Tesla has changed things around. You are...

Just walk. Last week you should have been looking at the higher prices, so with the discount, it would have been about $10K higher than what you'd have now if you just custom order. The discount on Demo vs New Inventory is absolutely $0 bucks. You'll see the mileage from 200-2000 miles and...

When I was in the Portland OR location, there was not one Plaid awaiting delivery (S, 3, X, Y, etc.). In addition, the delay in LR deliveries (compared to Plaid) would indicate that there is a huge demand for LRs and little for Plaids. Same can be found on evcpo, several Plaids but nary a LR...

For those interested, you only get to "write off" that portion which is used to support you actions, at the time. You drive 1000 miles a month and 800 of those miles are for ride share purposes. You get to deduct 80% and not 100% of your expenses related to the vehicle. You don't get to...

January build here, LR. No movement from the airbag portion of the yoke. Lots of time have gone for the horn, only to (embarrassingly) hit the wipers.

Just an FYI, had a set of older rims (21" 9 and 8.5 widths) from a 2015 Model S P100DL, slipstreams if I recall. They fit just fine on the new Tesla Model S. Drove for more than 200 miles without any incident. There didn't look like there was any issue with the brake dust shields or rubbing...

No, not in NJ and many others. States usually provide an exception for visitors, short-term residents and those who may be deployed. But to register a vehicle doesn't require residency in many locations.

Why not just pick up and register in NJ? Lots of benefits * No sales tax saving a few thousand dollars * Two year registration for about $310 * License plate w/o a sticker denoting expiration date

Oh really!?! I'll have to give that a go and disable it to see if that helps!

On the older Model S (up to 2017 at least) you used to be able to press and hold the steering wheel buttons for volume (left) and on the right of the steering wheel. This would give you an option to select the kid of item you want displayed such as music, navigation, energy usage (chart)...

Does not work, mashing the steering yoke, the airbag, or pressing really hard anywhere but that one button. Picked up a new Model S in Jan with a supposed build date after 22-Dec

Well, it depends. Development can happen (a great deal now) offshore in locations like the EU, China and India. Cranking out lines of code or making new functions isn't hard - it's the QA side that comes into play. So you could / would manage the QA side of things back here in the US (along...

Jan 15th or so delivery date in the US resulted in 19" tires with the M+S designation.

Posted this on another thread, but ... not sure that's a safe setup, 255/45 tires on the new Tesla's running 19" Glad to be told that I'm wrong (winter tires are a thing where I'm at) with someone pointing out a square setup that will be good for the front 9.5" and rear 10.5" rims and a...

Not sure that's a safe setup, 255/45 tires on the new Tesla's running 19" The fronts are 9.5" rim width while the rears are 10.5" IIRC. A standard 255/45 tire can be recommended up to a 10" width. No 255 R19 tire size is going to be a recommendation from Nokian for 10" much less 10.5" tires ...

Am curious, what does bouncy mean to folks? * It floats, like on a cloud but doesn't settle? * It bounces, like on a rubber with every hard hit? * On turns, it lurches or lofts? From my limited experience, there are a few factors. If the air suspension is under loaded, you'll get more of a...

Bumping to the top - am interested in a new set of rims for winter tires... Well, new as in previous version 19" rims.

If you’re in snow country, skip the all season and go with something rated at least 3PMSF (three peak mountain and snowflake). Especially if you’re traveling in and out of snowy climes. Such as between SF and Tahoe. The below is from December where we hit a record 200” with a full size...

Interesting take on the "reach through wheel to hit turn signal" and have to admit, that I'm guilty of that. It may indeed make more sense to press the button but I'll posit that it can also increase confusion as to which button is what to cancel a signal. Eg. I'm coming off of the highway...

Thanks for asking! No dash camera footage (too old for the stock camera, and I had an IRO dash camera which had TAPE over it. I think the people who replaced the windshield covered it to protect the lens, but forgot. Insurance claimed it as a total loss (which reminds me that I need to ask...

Ordered 2-Apri-2021. Delivered 15-Jan-2022 Model S LR white/white. PDX delivery. Missing floor mats, license plate frame, parcel shelf and rear trunk well cover. Delivery helped take care of everything except that last one, have a pending service order in for the 4th in which I'm hoping to...

That's crazy! Over the past few decades, I've changed quite a few brake pads (and rarely rotors, but I have a new set waiting to get installed in my garage) and have never seen that kind of imprinting nor would I have thought it was likely! Pads too hot? Rotors too hot? Pads too hard...

There is a cigarette lighter ... wouldn't use it as it's in the center console and a longer run. OBD connectors which supply power. Used it for a cell phone booster. Plus it cuts out when the car is off. Rearview mirrors. I've retrofitted a few and dash cameras. Wouldn't use it. It's...

Zip tie. You can loop it around and use it to pull open the door handle until you figure out what you want to do about the problem. No need for a stick (or credit card)

Am curious, is it "Tesla Authorized" repair shop, any ol' repair shop, or a Tesla Service center? I'm thinking that it's the first one, but want to confirm.

Looks like this is a common miss: * License plate frames * Parcel Shelf (that top privacy shelf in the trunk) * Floor mats (two front, one rear) * Trunk well cover Just make sure the above show up I guess.

Well, mine was 9-months. Placed my LR order in April of 2021 and it got pushed to June/July and then all the way to Feb of this year. Finally got the confirmation for pick-up dates starting the 15th of Jan, with me closing it out on the 17th (Monday, MLK)

When I picked mine up (Monday) it was missing the parcel shelf, floor mats, trunk well cover and license plate frame. The Delivery Advisor was able to scrounge up most everything except the well cover. Hopefully it got added to the delivery items that were missed, but also submitted a service...

LR: Ordered April 2nd, 2021. Delivered Jan 17th.

Considering Tesla manufactured zero of the Model S line in Q1 and orders (like my own) are being pushed 9-months out (14-Dec to 28-Dec) it's likely that even Tesla orders made this year will be delayed until 2022.

It's frankly horrible. If you have people placing orders in Q1, with none being produced then that rolls over to Q2. Q2 orders are being pushed back at least eight months (and were slated for February of 2022 ... or nearly a year) and this continues to add to the backlog. As such, greater...

Would not even consider it commendable. You have people waiting 6+ months to have a Model S delivered, and we're talking $85K and on up. The current expectation is now given as "Mar-Apr" which means that the Model S is being pushed back compared to the 3/Y.

Wow that's horrible, less than 10,000 Model S produced and delivered. No wonder I'm sitting on a 6+ wait for a Model S. It's obvious that Tesla is focusing on the lower end market for the Model 3/Y versus the higher end S/X area.

Looks like my white on white LR was pushed back again. Order put in on April 2nd and now the earliest delivery date is December 11. Eight months by my finger counting.

Apparently (according to the news) there is a shortage of truck drivers in the US. Especially truck drivers with the appropriate license to transport hazardous materials such as gasoline. The rail yard by Fremont used to be a major transport hub “back in the day” but most vehicles that I’ve...

Regarding PPF We paint things to protect the underlying surface. Wood homes get paint (or varnish), metal cars to protect it from oxidation. We apply a clear layer of paint, a clear coat to protect the paint. We apply a soft layer of plastic to protect a supposedly soft layer of paint. A...

You best me in terms of time, and I match sentiment. Could’ve gone with a MBZ or Lexus instead of waiting for my April 2nd order to be pushed out to February as of this mornings EDD update. This isn’t my first Tesla but based upon the latest experience and the rate of automotive advancement...

Not sure if I’d buy the stock again, as taking an order that can’t be filled for months (and reporting it as sales) is sus. RN1147400 placed on April 2nd 2021 Latest EDD is February 2022. Now that’s going to be 10 months for 100LR with FSD. And there is no guarantee that it’ll even pass...

The biggest concerns shouldn’t be ordering a vehicle that is on par with a good portion of a house down payment… It is the wait. Not just for the car, but what if the car isn’t good enough and you have to reject it? Some of us may have outstanding orders that we are being told won’t be filled...

RN1147400 - April 2nd, 2021 order placed Latest delivery date : February 2022

If you're going with a Tesla Solar Panel (and this isn't the roof, just a panel on top of the roof) you can expect some serious delays. Sizing: 12.24 kW Solar, 3 Powerwalls Let's see if this helps anyone out. April 2020 - Initial order submitted 4/16/2020 - CPUC Solar Packet 4/16/2020 -...

I'm wondering if they'd do that to Reno NV. Tesla has a facility there (SE of the Gigafactory) to repair and deal with sales. It's up I-80 which means a safe trucker route; and for people, it's an easy route from SJC to RNO or you could even take the train from Emeryville/Berkley/Sacramento as...

Got off the phone from my insurer (Ameriprise via Costco) and there is no fraud or wrong-doing with insuring a vehicle in another State. You just have a new policy written up for that State, NJ, in order to register the vehicle there. Lake Tahoe spans two States, California (where Tesla is...

Had a Model S with Ludicrous. Used it quite a few times the first couple of months. Passengers, after the first experience, stated they wouldn't want to ride in the car if I did it again (even given a warning). You can rocket-off at a light, but after a while, it becomes passe. I'd use...
