    HRE FF01 w/Conti Extremecontact Sports (for Model S)

    I'm resurrecting my old thread... Can't believe it's been 2 years since then. Personal stuff came up and I never actually sold these, and I was stuck out of the country for a while. Well now I'm back and going through my stuff and realized I still have these. I live in North OC. I need to get...

    MODEL 3 VS TAYCAN

    I’m actually in the exact same boat. These are the only two cars that check the boxes in what I’m looking for (performance, electric, and RANGE). Range is the crucial part esp bc this would be my daily and without an equivalent charging network, I need any non-Tesla EV to be able to give me...

    Someone ran into my new Model 3

    Sorry to hear that man. Hope you’re ok and glad you’re safe. I haven’t posted in a long while but I logged in to tell you this. If the fault has already been accepted by the other party, just directly deal with the other party’s insurance. Do NOT use your own for subrogation. Trust me.

    Model X crashed - parts for sale?

    What kind of interior trim did you have? Dark wood or CF? I'd be interested in all the trim pieces.

    News for Model X owners with the dreaded shudder

    FWIW I just spent a day with an overnight test drive new Raven with ~500 miles on odo, I don't have lengthy significant time behind an older X but have felt shudder before, and I felt no shudder in this new Raven unit during my limited time with it. Suspension felt fantastic actually.

    Rear ended today. 3-4 month wait - parts not available.

    Btw really sorry you have to go through this, bud. Glad you're ok. I got rear ended in my MS the day after I took delivery (less than 24 hrs later) and it was in the shop for around 6 months. At the time, I was communicating Jon McNeil directly through the process as the process dragged on and...

    Rear ended today. 3-4 month wait - parts not available.

    I'd guess around 350 pieces, $7k in parts, and $15k in labor

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    Just FYI for anyone curious, I did the Tesla "rate match" (Tesla rate through US Bank was 3.85, my CU preapproval was for 1.99), took delivery on 12/15/18, submitted the documentation to Tesla on 12/17/18. Received the check from Tesla yesterday for the full difference amount, so approximately 1...

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    I actually literally tried to do this in the days prior to delivery and got no response until after I took delivery. It wasn't an issue tho since I preferred the lump money now and putting it right into investment accts right away. Or you know, coilovers.

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    Sometimes the banks you want to use have super high rates but you're able to get a way lower rate but at a bank that seems really incompetent and can't trust. And you'd like to rate match but both parties are making it really difficult. Just for now, Tesla rate match just solves it albeit in a...

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    A lot of "pre-approvals" run a hard pull so do have to be careful. Lightstream did. So far I haven't seen a hard pull from Clearpath show up on my report but it still might. Definitely a soft pull tho. Terms and amounts need to match for rate match.

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    Not a member. Just applied online, and I was pre-approved the next day. Had to call a few times to get the actual letter though. They have some serious issues with staffing tho so they're clearly understaffed. But you do have up to 7 days after you take delivery to submit a letter for the rate...

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    FWIW, I just picked up my M3 on Saturday. I had planned to do clearpath - lightstream match, but Tesla said they'll "match" by refunding the difference. Specifically asked if pre-approval letter only would be enough to do it (I'm not an existing member of the CU), and they said yes. So I went...

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    Just FYI guys, seems to me that Tesla is pushing hard for new deliveries to do a Tesla rate match right now. I know they started offering it a little while back but for my upcoming delivery they were kinda aggressively putting it out there. Maybe to just get the deliveries quickly right now...

    Order today for delivery in 2018?

    Exciting stuff. I still have several months on my S lease and since in putting more miles right now for unforseen circumstances I thought what the heck and ordered on Tuesday. Of this week. I'm picking it up tomorrow. Totally impulse buy but yea they're ready for the last minute impulse...

    Low SOC = Terrible Supercharging

    Old thread, but this just happened to me. 2% soc and initially would charge at 7kW then stop, then charge, then stop, then at around 8% ramped up to 24kW, and finally at 10-12% ramped up slowly to the 70-80 kW range.

    Damage repair progress -- doesn't get any worse, and Tesla is at fault

    Not sure how that in any way "tops" what a lot of us have gone through, bro. Try waiting 7 months for repair for getting rear ended the day after delivery, and getting told "it'll be done in 2 weeks" every week for 10 weeks. Artsci isn't going to see his car for another month (sorry man, it's...

    Damage repair progress -- doesn't get any worse, and Tesla is at fault

    Man, that sucks bro. Sorry to hear. I was hoping yours would be a better story, and that the crap i went through was behind us. I have a friend who had a dent in the quarterpanel that couldn't be fixed with pdr, and its been in the shop for 2 months now. My wife's Mercedes GLE got rear ended and...

    No hatchback simply a point of differentiation?

    Sounds like Franz confirmed to motor trend that the main reason for removal of the hatch hinge is to increase rear headroom clearance "The Tesla Model 3 has a trunk opening instead of a Model S-like hatch to delete the hatch-required crossmember, which shaves rear headroom." Exclusive: Tesla...

    Making friends at a Tesla Supercharger....

    every time i've SC here in SoCal, everyone is either in the car on the phone or gone. which is fine by me since all you other tesla owners are NERDS and i don't want to talk to you nerds anyway! besides, it gives me some time to work on my new modified iso effective linear quadratic biologic...

    Love this company: they have my back on accident repairs to my car

    i really hope your experience is a good one and i wish a speedy recovery for your car, i got one of those calls every months for the 6 months my car was in the shop, and more apologetic ones after the car was finally done. the words felt good but were largely empty at the time. I really do hope...

    Thanks bud! Really no significant mods, just tint and the rubber splitter. Tint is Madico Charcool 20 and i love the color, like it better than the 3M i've usually used. Front is DUBS IR 70. Heat rejection and color is great, but there is a very slight haze when looking out so I probably won't...

II would push for total...

    Vendor Tesla Plus for iOS

    Nice work on the app, I used it for the week and I can say it works really well and I really liked how it looks. Well designed. I like how quick and responsive it is. Great work so far. But having said that, I haven't used it after the trial. It doesn't add anything from the native app like the...

    Motley Fool story - Tesla Replacement Part Delays

    Yea man, I know that experience very well. The 6 month repair was done at Class Auto. Now its at the body shop near the Buena Park SC fixing the mess that Class Auto made. Trust me, I made Mr Jon McNeil very aware of how unhappy I was. It's certainly better having a Tesla loaner this time, but...

    Motley Fool story - Tesla Replacement Part Delays

    Literally 10 seconds after my last post, I got a phone call from Tesla customer service, apparently they now have a special division called the Body Shop Advocate Team. I had reached out to Jon McNeil a while back, and again this time when I heard it was going to the body shop again. Travis from...

    Picked up new MS, rear-ended the next day

    Well I have a unpleasant update. As you recall, my car was rear-ended the day after I took delivery. It was in the body shop for 6 months, and of course I had a crappy ice rental car during that time. I finally got the car back a few weeks ago, but because of alignment and a couple small...
