Car back, suspension fixed! Only lingering issue is the defective mirror, but it's somewhat functional so less of a safety issue. They didn't have any in inventory so it will have to wait for a mobile visit

Hey @PhillyGal what are your thoughts using FSD for a pretty good length of time? Reason I ask: for my issues, I finally got the service center to take my car in. They gave me a model 3 p with FSD enabled so I've been testing it out before my purchase. One of the biggest issues I've seen is on...

Haha ok, then no.

Is your profile pic a Cursive reference?

The last time I heard something similar it was a "relatively" simple fix of alignment. But something the service team will need to do. Hopefully your fix is as simple, though annoying when you buy a new car

This sounds like an absolute nightmare. Obviously we worry about our own safety, but when kids come into the equation....

Hey everyone, wanted to give a quick update: I had an initial service appointment to fix my rundown of issues on 9/24. The only thing she fixed was the hole in the fabric covering the mirror. I was told I'd get a call back from the service manager but have received nothing, despite calls...

Well you are very talented, they look great!

Why do these pictures all look so satisfyingly professional? Are you Tesla's yet to be formed advertising?

Just a quick update: I took delivery Monday evening! Overall it seems great though a few things: 1. Seems like something is loose and clanking around while driving. Maybe a control arm? Not sure 2. Misalignment of front driver pillar and quarter panel and small paint chip in same area 3. Hole...

Oh man I feel like an idiot. I read line 10 as Line 2 minus Line 1. Thank you.

Reading the actual form is what makes me disbelieve what others are posting in here. Line 10 would be a negative number.

Could you share how you filled this form? It appears you need to have some portion of business/investment use of the charging (part II)

Couldn't agree more with all of this

I am also in a state of active ignorance right now. "Pay now to prioritize your delivery!" You liar, I already have a scheduled date and time and you wouldn't let me take delivery over the weekend.

I guess I can let you know after today, when I show up with my cashier's check If what you are saying is true, I guess you can show up with cash.

Just got my agreements button: For those who have taken delivery, do I sign now or wait til after I inspect tomorrow?

Cue the jokes about Luke Wang being the father of Elon's hard to pronounce child's name. That's as far as I'll go poking fun at a kid who may or may not appreciate the non-conformism of their name and their famous parents

Yeah I don't think necessarily it is harder from an assembly perspective to change rims/wheels, moreso that IF (big if because no one has clarity) delivery date is based off one mystical profile completion date, changing wheels is likely to reset that completion date and has the potential to...

Haha I'll admit before I got my VIN I was both jealous and mad a couple times, but we try to move past that emotion quickly and celebrate after 🥂

Your delivery will almost certainly shift to February. It will be treated like a new order

Ok I caved and went to check. The delivery center was hesitant to let me check their lot besides what was out in front, so I didn't push my luck. However, I knew where the overflow lot was and my wife and I went to check there next "on the way to get gas at Costco" ....and there it was...

My car is at the delivery center!! Tried to reschedule for tomorrow but apparently they got a boatload (figuratively, they came on a train) today so they won't have any appointments until Monday afternoon Will I be able to avoid going to check it out this weekend? Tbd...

Someone posted a couple months ago this was due to an alignment issue with the rear trunk. A small gap is there that causes the buffering. Worth exploring as an option

Big congrats!!! We shouldn't have to say "you earned it" when purchasing a car, but....you earned it! Hope the ride home is awesome! There should be hardship medals that are awarded in this thread. You've received them all.

I take these pics to mean things are progressing today?!

When I graduated college my Christmas and birthday gifts from my parents were things like a vacuum, iron/ironing board. I guess moving back home wasn't an option?

Haha oops

The way the battery is cooled is with pipes of fluid glycol that snake through the battery pack. In order to properly transfer heat, the fluid needs to move. My assumption is the hum is the pump moving that fluid, and the reason there's another sound with the AC is that it's a similar process...

Yes, I had 2 expirations and switched to cash until I had a VIN. NJ takes about 2 weeks VIN to delivery so that has been more than enough time to get DCU approval and get it matched by Tesla

Nooooo

Agreed, I haven't been too active starting a new demanding job. But still been monitoring. And I've seen a bunch of EOQ EDDs get pushed over the line into the beginning of October recently

Definitely! And no one was interested in the Myx :( However, to restart that convo, as an investment the parent company of Myx/Openfit (BODY) has a lot more runway than peloton

Is that snow already?!?

My understanding is the hum is cooling and prepping the battery pack because it assumes you're about to drive or do something with it

Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking but then the email I got from them when I finally responded said " ok I'll pay off your loan and close it out" ...huh?

Haha nice and welcome! Getting the whole family in on it!

Haha for all the months I've been here this has been an open forum. Sometimes people drop in and try to change that after waiting for a day or a week, but my vote is you continue to use this thread to talk about whatever you want as we all bide our time in this painful wait together. TBH that's...

Beware kf you plan to have Tesla match that DCU will HOUND you for a response. I've never experienced anything like it. Typically you don't sign/finalize a loan and you can just forget about it, it fades in the ether. DCU will call and email several times a day

This goes into what is Monopoly and what is not... When it was "the big 3," is 3 really a choice? Why were they allowed to grow so large? What about all the zombie companies that stick around pumped up by cheap debt and by venture capitalists? These are problems we create through policy, allow...

I disagree with a bunch here but I'll try to keep my points limited to a couple. Firstly I understand and respect your fiscal conservatism and used to identify similarly. But, Tesla IS STILL the beneficiary of subsidies. Subsidies that are not paid directly, but are enabled by government...

can't say this doesn't make sense. Just no way to really know.

Regarding unreliable EDDs (Teslarati article someone posted earlier); this explains a lot:

I actually think it looks really nice with the rain. Like a car wax commercial!

I have 2 questions on FSD and just the general safety systems in a Tesla: 1. Would the car stop without Autopilot or FSD active if a person runs in front of the car? In my test drive I didn't see any indication on the screen that the car noticed people near the road 2. Let's say I live on a...

Hahaha this is so spot on. As I am in the process of making my foundation look nicer after a new patio was put in...... 3 different router heads to rout out the small cracks from settling - Dremel didnt work at all, impact driver worked great, but first bit was a V-shape rout. Read the cement...

wow, in such a simple form this helped me understand my own mentality vs my wife's. And I'm not sure if it's for better or for worse, but I've been trying to teach my daughter everything I know and to take risks (categorized as a new challenging job without all the experience required, as...

I've been there my friend. The despair is real, and you've got a bunch of great people here to show you optimism when you take big hits like that. You will get a car!

Can this be one of the things we sticky to the top?
