Hey 3SR+ owners in the SoCal area, anyone interested in trading your aero wheel covers for my complete set of unused, brand new factory floor mats? Mine have never been in my car and are sitting flat on a shelf in my garage. PM me if interested.

Some on this forum have complained about long waits for California registration and plates. For the record and as one data point, I received my California registration and plates in the mail today, three and a half weeks after taking delivery of my 3MR.

I was a 3/31/16 reservationist. I was not a line stander, I was an on-line, pre-reveal reservationist. I was waiting for the 3SR but really wanted a car with a range midway between SR and LR. When Elon announced the availability of the MR in October, I was all over it. I configured and...

I think I am losing it! A week ago I am ALMOST positive that the price on the 3MR was listed at $30,700 (after incentives, etc.) It is now listed at $31,700 (after incentives, etc.) Did the price just go up $1000? Somebody please tell me I'm wrong so I can confirm that this car is making me...

I am a day one, online reservationist. I was waiting for the model 3SR. BUT, the model 3MR really fits my needs better and I am now guarantied the full tax credit. I placed my order tonight: 3MR, 18" aeros, basic black, PUP, wht. int., EAP = $51K Delivery in 4-6 weeks (I expect 4 weeks, but...

Now that Tesla has just reduced color choices to just 5, and four of those are a $1500 to $2000 option,,,,,,,,,, I am now revisiting putting a color wrap or maybe a Plastidip product on the whole car. Going basic black and eliminating $2000 (for a Tesla color option) will go a long way toward...

I accompanied SIL yesterday as he took delivery of his Model 3LR - OBM color, aeros, VIN 709xx. Just to give some perspective to Costa Mesa delivery: We arrived at 3:15 for a 4:30 delivery appointment. Can't say we weren't excited or anything! ;) The waiting room was uncrowded and relaxed...

YES, all good things come to all fanboys who are patient. Since when does Tesla send out invites on Wednesdays? I'm hyperventilating! My heart is racing ludicrous mode.........where is my heart medicine? email invitation to configure received on April 18 at 1:13 pm PDT Southern California...

Does anyone know if Tesla factory (production) is working 5, 6, or 7 days a week? Does anyone know how many hours per day production line is in operation?

I am now in my estimated invitation/configuration/delivery window. When I sign into my account, will the invitation show up on the My Tesla page or do I need to hit the "manage" button?

In general, I am not a fan of Apple products. I find that Apple products are overpriced, limited in flexibility, and overly controlled by the company. For example, I have only used PC's for both personal and business use. MY DW has a Macbook. Third party software for the Mac is limited...

I have a question about the best strategy for home charging to prolong the battery life. Let me start with some presumptions to simplify the scenario: - for daily driving a max. of 80% charge - for daily driving a min. of 20% charge - presume I drive 20% of 100% charge everyday Therefore I can...

This is a decision that is personal from my perspective. It is somewhat unique but may apply to a minority of a few others. Rather than give me a disagree, tell me why you disagree with my logic. I have a driving lifestyle that makes a 310 mile range car, as opposed to a 220 mile range car...

My invitation window has moved from Jan-Mar to Apr-June. Actually the model 3 tracker did say June invitation for someone who fits my order parameters, so I am not surprised. Here is why I am fine with the revised ESTIMATE (and the reason I will be fine if it slips even further). I am not...

Thanks for reaching out. Just wanted to follow up on your inquiry regarding the Model 3 Reservations. Definitely understand your concern and we appreciate the support you have for us. The reservations are non-transferable and we wouldn’t be able to put the reservation under someone else’s name...

With respect, I would like to suggest a new forum for those of us who choose to modify or customize our Tesla cars. With soon to be 500K Model 3's on the road, I guarantee their will be a huge number of these cars that will be modified in one way or another, especially in California, In my...

GM autonomous EV 2019 Love me some of that Ipad size U.I., old school AC vents, plastic headliner, high front cowl. GM must be VERY afraid of Tesla to put out this half baked concept idea.

Yesterday @dturkes hosted a model 3 meetup at the Buena Park Store/SvC/Suc. D*** Turkes brought his beautiful Black model 3 that he brought home about two weeks ago. About 15 people showed up, both reservationists and MS owners of all different age groups. We spent about hour there, as did...

I am confused. Is the software for the model 3 U.I. different from the MS/X? Do each of the models have a unique set of features that don't necessarily apply to other models? For example, does the model 3 currently have the "easy entry/exit" feature that was just released for MS/X?

I saw my first model 3 in the flesh today, and my heart is still palpitating! We drove from LA area to Fresno to spend a holiday weekend with relatives. We drove back on 99/5 this afternoon and just returned home. As we were in the vicinity of the Tejon SC, my wife said she needs a comfort...

Re-writing history hurts the Forum! The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was sponsored by Patrick Kennedy (D) in a Congress that was controlled by Democrats. The amended bill, which included the EV tax credit, passed by huge majorities in both houses. Yes, there were many...

I am trying to figure out a way to occupy myself while I wait for my configurator to open. So why not prioritize my options? I realize that not all these options are currently available and that some of them may be bundled into a larger option package, but why not do a little pre-planning...

I was waiting in a terminal yesterday for outbound transportation and got into a conversation with a man from Great Britain. He said he was an electrical engineer with the largest electrical contractor in Great Britain and they are specializing in alternative forms of electric generation. I...

Tesla has put an interactive calculator on the Model S page that allows you to play with differences in speed, air conditioning, and wheel size and their effect on range. I hope that they will put a similar calculator on the Model 3 page in the near future. Realize that calculations for the MS...

There have been several posts about the pros and cons of SAS (Smart Air Suspension). I fully understand and respect that some people feel that SAS does not improve the ride to any appreciable extent. I understand that SAS will probably not improve performance under most conditions. I...

Saw a gorgeous Candy Apple Red MS with a Saleen kit yesterday morning about 9:30am on the westbound 91 between Corona and Anaheim. I gave you the "T" for Tesla hand sign and a thumbs up. I know you saw me. Who are you? Are you on this Forum? Now you can come and clean up the drool on the...

I was cruising the Los Angeles freeways yesterday (by necessity and not by choice). As luck would have it, I saw both the Ioniq and Bolt for the first time. Here are my general impressions: Ioniq - a pleasant looking hatchback car the takes its styling cues from the 2010 - 2015 Prius. The...

I know that many States do not require a front license plate, but California does. I know that many California residents will not run a front license plate on their TM3 and not worry about it. I hope that we can avoid the debate on whether to run a front plate or not in this thread (but that...

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the email that Model 3 reservation holders received a couple of days ago. It appears that the 400,000+ Model 3 will only have limited or no free Supercharger use. That would not be a deal breaker for me, but it is still interesting. An Update to our...

Just got back from a vacation in Hawai'i. While in Honolulu, we stopped by the Tesla store in the Ala Moana Shopping Center. They had a MS on the floor in red. My wife is not a lover of red cars but she said the MS looked absolutely delicious! Tesla has a new, larger store under construction...
