    Help me choose: M3P inventory vs. Highland?

    Indeed, but there's just no way I'd qualify. I also question when I'd actually see product. Again, they are all over the place with delivery dates. The delivery time-frame on the order pages is aspirational, at best. Best,

    Help me choose: M3P inventory vs. Highland?

    This is where I'm at lately as well, though I've pivoted a bit and will just hold on to my existing M3P for a bit longer and see how the rest of the market shakes out in terms of range, performance, and value. I still think Tesla has the best technology of the bunch, but from a leadership...

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    I've just gotten weary of the drama and have decided to stick with my existing model 3P until Tesla gets its act together or one of the other competitors offers something of interest (now that other brands are getting access to the supercharger network). I feel like Tesla is squandering their...

    Poll: How many are still using original 12V Battery that came with the car?

    Reply to my own post. I got a warning a couple of days ago about the 12V battery needing replacement. I scheduled the replacement on the app. 2 days later the tech showed up and replaced the battery in about 20 minutes and performed the rear camera harness recall in the trunk at the same...

    Help me choose: M3P inventory vs. Highland?

    Sigh...I'll probably get a new M3P anyway, but I was hoping there would be a range improvement over the previous version. I rarely use mine for travel, but 296 miles is 45 miles less than the LR model and slightly lower than the model it replaced. The tax rebate is nice, but I likely won't...

    Help me choose: M3P inventory vs. Highland?

    Wish TSLA would actually launch the new M3P already. I wonder how much of the current sales challenge is due to folks like me who can't get the product they want? Or maybe a lot of potential buyers are hip to the constant price adjustments and think they'll get a better deal if they just hang...

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    Seems like Tesla is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory here and is getting pounced upon by short sellers in the stock market as a result. :(

    Help me choose: M3P inventory vs. Highland?

    The only things I'm interested in are: needs to be at LEAST as quick as the previous model quieter cabin improved suspension I don't like the stalk-less signalling. That's just a stupid idea...kinda like the whole yoke thing. I could care less about the lighting in the cabin. I think it's...

    Help me choose: M3P inventory vs. Highland?

    I keep getting these offers to keep FSD, get a free upgrade in paint color and free supercharging for X miles offers if I buy something before the end of the month. However, Tesla still doesn't have a performance variant of the new model 3 available so there's nothing for me to purchase. Even...

    Help me choose: M3P inventory vs. Highland?

    Happy to sell you my gently used 2020 M3P with relatively low miles. :) When I looked around to sell it recently, I was surprised how little consideration is given to the FSD option given that it's now $12k just for that option alone. Personally, I'm planning to sell older gen M3P now and...

    I'm notoriously lazy....I see a mobile tech visit in my future. :) Best,

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Indeed. This was a "facelift" and some incremental improvements. I wasn't expecting a dramatic redesign of the power train.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I guess we'll find out eventually. If it's significantly more expensive to upgrade to a performance/ludicrous/whatever, I would expect many of the speed junkies to just make the leap to a model S plaid. Who knows....maybe I'll get over my aversion to a larger car and do that myself. :) Best,

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    That would be ideal. Then I could sell my M3P now and drive my extra car until the highland performance variant is released. Tesla doesn't appear to have many M3P's in inventory now so I expect that inventory to be depleted lickety split....especially since they appear to be slightly...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I think it's a nice looking car, but it's larger than I want/need. And even though it wouldn't be financially painful at all to just write a check for a MS Plaid, it just isn't worth (for me) the price delta over the apparently now unavailable M3P. :) Best,
