this is just what i was waiting for . I dont really want FSD -- i have little confidence that Tesla will delivery real FSD and i dont mind driving myself around town. I do want lane changes on the highway, i want freeway interchanges, and i want summon + self-parking. so this is the perfect...

~My advice to someone who was about to take delivery would be to go to your SA and ask for a free color upgrade or free wheels or free life supercharging .. if they wont budge, then eat the $100 and cancel the order .. then come back in 7 days and see what the deal is .. no way tesla is...

i just took delivery of a P3D on the 13th .. and now sseeing what is happening with inventory i think i missed an opportunity .. i should have cancelled my order (lost $100) .. and waited to see if i could get $2000 or so off a P3D in inventory on the last few days of the quarter. i bet...

I think if you miss your appointment a few times you could get pushed to next quarter as long as had someone else to give your car to.

so when the final decision time came -- i decided to take the car .. i ended up taknig a loan rather than paying for the car cash .. loans are pretty cheap atm .. and i'll pay off the loan whenever the market recovers .. worst case scenario, the end of the world is here, and then i;ll be...

well .. appointment came and went -- and thanks to my wife who stepped in and told me to take delivery .. we now have a 2 Tesla garage. YOLO .. The wheels are pretty damm good looking.

same here --

Got the text... Scheduled for Saturday 13...

yeah - i put off my call to my broker by one week while i was in hawaii .. and guess what .. the market crashed while i was there .. lol ..

All the virus and market craziness has me spooked, and second guessing spending 60k

SA texted me today, got a vin assigned Gonna have to decide if I'm taking delivery soon. Ordered 2/11 in Seattle.

Its pretty much close to impossible to implement that sort of approach .. if you can time the market and do it successfully multiple times -- then you will be a billionare and should be in finance. .. the markets will bottom out, and eventually will recover all their losses .. and we'll forge...

looks like i'm going to be taking a pass on the car for now .. although i can still afford it .. just doesn't make sense to splurge on a luxury purchase when portfolio is down roughly 10% since the high point. i'll be back to buy when market recovers.

I feel bad that i keep on hoping that my car is not delviered before the last week of march .. -- and then i'm considering missing my appt so that my reservation will be pushed to end of Q2 .. (while so many here are hoping to get their car asap) -- just because it gives me a better chance to...

is that even a thing -- how can you transfer a position?

It depends on your credit score and how much you are asking for. Typically for cars there is very little proof that is requested. -- its not like borrowing for a mortgage ..

Nice to see that i'm not the only one second guessing my purchase.. I agree with those who say that we're in a wait-and-see state at the moment. -- I feel like I have many options, i could take delivery, and either cough up the cash, or take a loan, or a combo of the two. -- I could also...

i think if you were planning to finance this turn of events helps you -- i suspect that interest rates are about to drop .. and car loans might get slightly cheaper.

i think thats an option -- hate the idea of carrying debt.. but an option .. i know its more of a knee jerk reaction to the current panic in the markets .. but since delivery is still weeks away, i'm in a wait-and-see pattern .. in the end i can probably extend my delivery time by just...

I'm considering delaying my P3D+ order. Given the current market downturn, and rising concerns about this virus. This was going to be my second Tesla, but now thinking that it would be best to keep 60k+ in my pocket in case we see a prolonged downturn. This would be our second m3, don't know...

I bought a AWD-LR in dec 2019 .. great car love it. but a part of me wished i had just gotten the performance -- i plan to track the car a few times a year for fun. Now i'm waiting for delivery of a P3D in march 2020. -- so if its something you think you want, just get it (as long as the money...

btw -- you can wait until the last minute to do your financing .. it takes minutes for a loan to be approved ... when i took delivery of my AWD LR last december, i had setup on the tesla profile that i'd be paying cash, but when they called to make delivery i didn't have the cash on hand...

i still bet that that everyone (or nearly everyone) that put in an order in the first 6 weeks of this quarter will receive their car this quarter

you really have nothing to worry about -- tesla makes the bulk of the NA deliveries at the end of the quarter.. its all about making quarter numbers and they will deliver almost all of their orders.

Nice to see other families doing this -- We have a Model 3 AWD LR -- and are in line to receive a Model 3 Performance later this quarter .. plan to use 1 charger at home for both cars .. should be ok since my commute is 15 miles each way .. i charge my car about once a week. the big problem...

just goes to show that you dont need to be right too many times to make lots of money. i think elon missed a good opportunity to just send gates a model s p100d ..

my $0.02 regarding marital stuff .. let your wife do/have whatever she wants -- you do you, let her be her .. i've never succeeded in getting my wife to like/want something she didn't want (and when i did, i lived to regret it) .. -- the only caveat was that i did succeed in getting my...

tesla has a huge incentive to deliver in march to you -- their quarterly numbers. i think you'll get your car.

Last quarter i bought a model 3 AWD .. ordered at the beggining of the quarter (oct) -- and it was delivered in december (1st week of dec). -- this quarter i ordered a Performance Model 3 -- in the middle of the quater (feb 11) -- and i expect it to be delivered sometime in march. until...

i dont think 18" wheels fit over the larger brakes right? -- you'd have to use 19" wheels .. and you'd still loose some range because of the size and non-aero covers

I'm back -- Last quarter i got in line and waited forever to take delivery of a AWD-M3 (white with FSD and aero wheels) .. turns out that my wife loves that car so much that she wants it for herself. -- so being the kind husband i am -- i have given her the car, and now am back in line waiting...

I love the idea of using a real-world analog gauge for this . you can figure out the actual power used by logging the charging_state.charger_power field. it gives you the instant power being drawn from the wall . you have to do some math to figure out the actual kwh that were drawn over time...

you'd think after 4 tesla's, OP would know to expect this from tesla.

if its not bolted down, they are selling it.

i got the FSD -- and after doing both NoA and AP .. i prefer to use AP .. -- less nagging to keep hands on the wheel .. and NoA is still too early to be trusted fully .. too many mistakes on my route. but i'm still glad i forked over $6k (7k now, but i paid 6k) for NoA .. i like the lane...

I dont understand your case. How does the price of the model 3 affect your ability to take advantage of a tax credit that you knew was coming to you. It doesn't matter what you paid -- whether it was 80k or 60k .. the tax credit was the same $7500 .. you knew you would be eligible when you...

the UMC has a nema 4X rating .. should be ok in the rain

online - got it in 3 days

If i was in your shoes i'd go a different route 1 + 2 - upgrade to a coilover setup from mpp or up, get the UP sway bars too 3 - upgrade to the MPP big brake kit. 4 - upgrade wheels tires to fit big brake kit 5 - buy the 2k performance boost. even after doing all these things and having them...

some states have regulations about locking a house panel .. emergency crews need access in case of fire.

i seriously doubt someone who can buy a 60k car doesn't have enough diversified sources of income to find some tax somewhere .. we're only talking about a 7.5k liability -- its peanuts. even if you live off an inheritance -- that estate (or trust) or whatever has taxable events .. plan to...

i'm gonna save my 2k -- for when they make a "track mode" in app purchase

you missed my point .. i'm saying that if you know that you are going to have a 7500 tax credit -- then you can plan to have a tax liability .. so that you can take full advantage of the credit. someone who complains that they were not able to take advantage of the 7500 tax credit, failed to...

I dont think you're going to see a speed boost like the AWD just got -- mostly because this boost was a freebie for tesla .. the hardware could alreadydo this (same hardware as the P model) .. if i was you -- i'd pick something up from inventory this month. the right time to get a tesla is ...

its not very hard to have a $7500 tax liability .. even if you're in some super low tax bracket .. like 10% .. you only need to make 75k in taxable income to get there .. hard to imagine that you could buy and $60k+ car and not somehow be able to plan to have a 7.5k tax liability that you can...

sure wish that the debate over motor numbers and binning would just go away .. lets hear more about the real world numbers of this upgrade .. i'm on the fence about buying -- thinking i'll hold out and see if they make track mode available too .. i'd pay for that $500

I have a 3 week old AWD with FSD -- the upgrade showed up for me on my tesla page. if this had track mode it would be a slam dunk for me -- as it is .. i'll take a few days to think about it. i plan to track this car and sink about 10k in mods over time (suspension / brakes / wheels / tires)...

get the AWD .. from a few weeks of ownership there is alot about battery use that i did not know .. 1 - you often dont charge to 100% -- usually you charge to 90% .. 2 - you often dont go to 0% -- i would feel uncomfortable driving below 10%. depending on weather, you use up some energy on...

in seattle winter .. i've seen my AWD efficiency go down about 33% during normal driving. -- i like creature comforts, so i'm just glad i got the bigger battery

The display went from double blue lines -- to a single blue line .. so the navigate on autopilot was on (and it was doing the right thing)
