Depends on your goal. I was looking to be energy neutral, or as close to it as I could reasonably be. Meaning no import from the grid during normal conditions. For this I got 3 powerwalls and a 12 kW array. This works for maybe 70% of the year, but in the winter I'm limited by the solar due to...
I do limited off roading, and it's always been more about getting from here to there than playing around. But I just gave it a shot with the CT on Baja and it made me feel like a rally car driver out there, drifting turns and accelerating through puddles, and generally getting silly out there...
Yes, no issues with ACH transfer for me on previous Teslas. No way I was giving Plaid my bank password for a single transaction. I don't understand the logic there.
You can also just get a bank check and bring that in when you pick it up. That's what I did this time. Easy and no stress about...
Couldn't agree more. I've also run mine through the drive through wash several times. So it gets "microscratches". If it starts to look off, I'll just refinish it every few years and maybe try some new looks/ textures. Personally I love the idea of raw material I can modify as I see fit like a...
Ok everyone, let's put the pitchforks away already. And I get it - in fact I was the first one to yell "sus!" But the OP has already backed away from the claim this was 100% a major failure of the truck, see below. And let's be honest here, especially with insurance potentially claiming...
Hmmm... That is interesting. Mine are super beefy and I see no real issue that would warrant a redesign, although I haven't tried serious loads on these yet. But as you say, it could also be cost reduction or that there is some excessive fallout rate. The only "complaint" I have with these...
Just know that even after install, you'll be waiting for a SW update to enable powershare functionality. They are saying June which is Tesla-speak for October.
In addition to the locking diffs that others have added to the list, don't forget about Powershare (both the 3V gateway and the Powerwall versions).
But yeah as far as FSD, I am betting it doesn't show for another 6 months at least. In the meantime, I'm just hoping they enable a version of...
This is actually a great deal. A lot of shops are charging over a thousand, if they are even willing to do it. My shop needed 2 attempts before it looked right, so really they probably ended up in the hole on it.
Personally I've seen this improving over the 6 weeks that I've had the truck.
Initially I was seeing overnight drops as high as 8% (!!!!), so I've been keeping an eye on it by checking state of charge history on Tessie in the morning. After a few weeks of ownership, I was seeing fairly...
Ok, wow... Yeah I totally was too excited and missed that small scale robbery. What the hell is an order fee? And yeah, it's explicitly shown on the order agreement even from the email after the original order. I checked, and my previous Teslas were ordered the same way and never had an "order...
I went 3M, but my thoughts:
Side windows 25% IR ceramic. Looks great, decent match to factory rears, but it's slightly lighter, and looks even more so if you leave windshield clear.
Windshield 75% Crystalline. Very difficult per installer. Took 2 tries. First time had scuffing and...
I drove my M3P with v12 exactly once so far (I have a new favorite in the stable) and it was a game changer. I've always tried to love FSD but it always felt like a machine was just running code and pretending to be human. For the first time ever, V12 really did feel authentic. Was about a 30...
Totally agree. This is my third Tesla, and either this way or to just have it magically appear in your driveway. Fantastic. Personally, I will never walk into a dealership again.
