You’re way ahead of me, bro. I bought a bunch of stuff I didn’t need with my $2500 coupon and called it done after Qmerit sent two electricians who both wanted ~ $6000 for the labor using my $2500 Tesla coupon parts. It was a ridiculous “dollar / time" fee - makes a Hollywood plastic surgeon...

My service center said we’d know before they do. I took delivery April 9 and am waiting.

Yeah, my Tesla Service rep in Rocklin, CA (when I lived in Kalifornia) told me to "suck it up, buttercup, you’re playing with the big boys now.” o_O …but $1500 annually still stuck in my cheap-ass throat so I eventially tucked tail and got me a Model 3 with standard rims/tires. I guess it’s a...

I am looking forward to what you find out. I’m no TCP/IP expert so I’ll benefit from your analysis. Sure seems like a lot of data!

I had a 2013 Model S. It was the performance version (P85+) with 21” rims and low-profile, soft, sticky tires. I think the car weighed 5000 lbs or thereabouts. I had to change my rear tires every year @ $500 each installed, and my fronts every other year @ $500 each for an average of $1500 a...

I thought the same thing…but it shows “Amazon” along with all the other vendors, and not “Amazon Web Services” or AWS - which is distinct from Amazon the retailer. It’s probably correct, but we refer to AWS in the IT industry, not “Amazon.” The logo for AWS is different from what we see here.

How about that storage space on the floor between driver and passenger?

Back in 2013, Tesla replaced my Model S P85+ motor in about 2.5 hours. Four bolts and a few wires. Not saying that’s exactly how long yours will take, but at least you now have a reference point. Hope this helps.

I am 100% in your camp. Also, The Smoking Tire once said, “Having a beater is true luxury.” Not that the CT is a beater, but obsessing over my car is something from my past from which I’ve chosen to move away. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” -Jerry Seinfeld

I had a small similar mark on driver side rear door. It went away over time. Took delivery April 9. Still never washed the truck, nor tried to remove it. It’s magic!

Apparently, “we" are.

I’m “dumb” and bought the FS as a day one reservation holder and Tesla driver since 2013 - it’s not all about adding up the bits and pieces that come with it - many of us are looking past the "bits and bobs" and are leveraging at least one year of good times and memories on an incredible machine...

When you hit DECLINE, then Qmerit will look for a new contractor. Bids are sequential, which doesn’t really make sense for “bidding” in real-time, and for simultaneous comparisons. Sigh.

I hear you. I did consider an extended blackout (which hasn’t happened yet but might some day) - once my UPS units run dry, I’ll lose internet. And after a few days, I’ll have to discard my frozen and refrigerated food for several hundred dollars. And if needed, I might need to stay in a hotel...

That’s my train of thought also. My quotes were $5000 and $5700 from two contractors. Would I pay $5000+ to avoid a 1-hour blackout? Nope. (and here in ABQ, I have 1-2 minutes a year at most so even less ROI) - we all have different risk tolerances and tech affinities. Mine are not high enough...

The problem with Qmerit’s “process” is that the bids are sequential. You must decline a bid before they assign a second contractor to perform their walkthrough estimate. @BeFamousVideo - I would think that a detached garage will likely be >$1000 based on what I’ve experienced and researched...

We’re all different - risk tolerances, home configurations, disposable income etc. Personally, I’ve been disappointed with this “process.” I didn’t really want or need PowerShare - it just came with the damned truck so I went ahead and got two quotes through Qmerit. They were about $5000 and...

Like Crissa, I don’t even see it. Maybe I’m not as OCD as I thought I was. o_O

LOL, i thought the same but somebody on this forum said there’s a limit to that as well. o_O
