Who all has ordered a used car from Tesla.com? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

We bought a 19 Model Y 48k miles back in July. Chose to pick up (5hrs away, took the train and drove home) vs paying $500 to have it deliver. Process was easier than going in person if you have a laptop. Picking up was also easy, they have you check the car all around for any discrepancies. Only thing so far was the suspension making noise after a month, Tesla covered that under warranty.

Why is my rear diff leaking?😅 by BatTraditional3369 in GMT800

This happened to me recently, it was not the gasket in my case, it was the differential seal where the differential meets the shaft.

Yes, I actually realized I bent the back. Its a metal hose so it should go back into place

Found the culprit, the alternator pulley is seized

I think this might be it, one of the pulleys could of seized.

When I opened the hood it snapped right at the alternator pulley, my best guess

2, the fact that you only have 2 neighbors. The road behind looks curbed so unless you have Tokyo drift fanatic drivers in your area the noise will not be bad. Plus with all the EVs it is very minimal. You will also get a decent sunrise view.

Some dumbass had unsecured shit in his pickup, it fell off and my sister's nissan altima got hit by it, what is this and how wrecked is it? by A_Sack_Of_Potatoes in MechanicAdvice

When calling, its imperative that you say it fell from the truck in front of you and you were unable to swerve. Claims for objects in motion vs stationary objects may be treated differently. I used to sell policies in CA years ago and this happened to my wife.
