    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Eatontown NJ I brought it in originally and they said they could not fix. they were within spec. They just don’t want to do it. I suggest anyone who’s been told so to push. Get a manager involved. In spec is unacceptable answer for this issue. they’re either straight or not. It shouldn’t...

    Does the highland LR have the option of acceleration boost?

    2024 LR is my first tesla I didnt know PB was a thing. Had a older model 3 loaner yesterday with the PB and good lord, slammed my head into the seat. I want it. I want it now.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Hallelujah. Holy sheesh. They fixed it. The ambient lights that were woefully cockeyed are now straight as an arrow. Before in daylight. After in blue! Don’t let anyone tell you your lights are within spec. If they’re misaligned they can be fixed. And I checked all around the inside and...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Took my new M3 and to service after 2 weeks of ownership and they gave me a model Y for 4 days. Thank god I didnt get impatient and get the model Y performance I was eyeing. Its night and day, not for me. That said I have other cars, one of which is an SUV so its personal. The M3 is loads...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Gave me the "in spec" line after I brought it in the first service (mine are badly misaligned). But i got a message a few weeks later from the manager asking me to bring it back so they can try to fix it. I assume they have figured something out. Goes in next week and I will report back.

    2024 Model 3 ambient light alignment

    Mine are off pretty badly. Took in and they said the same "within spec" nonsense. I have since received a message from the manager of my local spot asking me to bring it back and let them try again. Will report back next week.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Tesla made me sign something saying they'd likely not get my plates and registration until after my temps expire. Got my registration and plates in 2 weeks from pickup. Great news right? Wrong. They registered the car to the wrong names and the wrong address. (my long dead father with a...

    Had to delay tints since it was in for service but got them today and wow. Looks so good. Lovely overcast day for the pics too so they look nice and dark. Xpel XR 70% windshield 35% everywhere else. One piece for the back window.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Tesla says no adjustments can be made. And these are within spec. Looks like complete *sugar*. Brand new car. Crooked as a dogs dick in two spots. I’m going to researching sending it back over and over until it qualifies for a lemon case.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Sorry. Just opening and then closing the trunk. The water that sounds like it is pouring out, isn’t! lol. It’s just swishing around making hat waterfall noise inside the trunk.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I got a fresh one. Rained here. And now this hefty amount of water (as if any would be okay) is trapped in my trunk. In for service. will report back. However, driving a loaner model Y for the last couple days solidifies my decision in waiting for the highland. It’s so so much better to drive.

    Driving without seatbelt.

    this could be.. broken or malfunctioning somehow. i've noticed when i pop my belt off and open my door, the seatback moves up an inch. could be a symptom of something bigger. Will check tonight. Thanks

    Driving without seatbelt.

    Eh didnt work .. butt firmly planted in seat and still couldnt reverse more than 1 foot without the car slamming into park. Sure the driveway thing is nitpicking. But my commuter lot is crazy busy and dark at 5am and not being able to unbuckle and look behind me is annoying as hell. Like...

    Very interesting point. Thanks! I probably do lift up when turning bc I press my left foot into the foot rest. Going to look like an idiot testing this out tonight but so be it :rolleyes:

    Touche. But my question remains. I am also always moving our cars around at home dependent on the various kids' activities. Really dont wanna be clipping in and out in my own driveway.

    Driving without seatbelt.

    2024 model 3. Driving into my commuter lot for the first time this morning. It is very dark and very crowded. I always pop off my belt while parking to be able to turn around with my big winter coat on and see behind me as I back into the tiny spaces. Going 15 MPH in drive I popped it off...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Nah it’s probably angle of the pic making it look like that. Driver side is pushed in, towards the driver. And passenger is down towards the ground. Neither enough to refuse delivery. But reported right away and svc scheduled so worst case it is all documented. Maybe not the place for this but...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    true to the process. pickup supposed to be at 10am. I was on time. Got the car at 11:20. But it’s pretty sweet. Both driver and passenger ambient lights are off, they’ll be fixed next weekend. But all else smooth. I’m coming from a Maserati QP and this car is nice and fast. I popped off the...

    24 hours to pick up. Now instead of simply checking incessantly, i'm leaving the app open on my desk waiting for it to refresh the "Review Agreements" tab. This is a sickness that should be studied.

    Thanks. Not sure. I Nice thanks. I got these delivered thinking they’d be painted silver logos. But they’re black with silver stickers I can put on myself LOL. pretty lame but I guess i’ll try to both ways.

    I cant say without seeing in the wheels in person. Picking my M3 up Friday and pulling those covers right off, lol. Please let us know how they look and how they fit. I ordered the full center cap from teslaunch. I dont think im gonna love it but needed something. Good luck with pickup!

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    No worries, didnt mean to come off snippy. I did run into shops saying "as you may know Teslas rear window has to be done in 2 pieces" which is totally false. So I def advise to ask around to find someone who will do it in one piece. 2 peices with a seam is an absolute non-starter for me.

    Delivery Scheduled!! 3/29 Final payment made. Clock officially ticking. But get this. A Tesla model S guy at my work just walked over and said Tesla called him and said they are having an event next week (NY/NJ) to show off the new Model 3. And said they will have a fleet available to take...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Im sure it is relatively high, but its the lowest quote i got and its at a very well known high end place. They did my maserati 7-8 years ago and it still looks perfect. ive also never done a windshield before but that part seems to be extra pricey i think 5-600 without the windshield...

    Ooh. Nice. Same questions as asked... is that stealth grey under? looks amazing. And I am curious as I have no idea what that would cost. But I did already make an appointment to tint the whole thing $1000 w windsheild and one piece on the back. Luckily the shop is empathatic to Telsa orders...

    Right. I am 5 days from my EDD window opening. And I do still want the new hotness M3. And this whole idea is supposed to be a small third car mainly for my short commute. My other cars have the flash and performance. So I have patience, but if my window gets bumped ... im doing it. The charger...

    upset with myself for even looking. but there's a performance model Y in the color combo I ordered my M3 in.. sitting on a lot near my house. about $1000 more than what I paid for the M3. It could be in the garage tonight. very tempted but might feel like a sucker playing into thier hand

    This is don’t know as it’s my first tesla and first pre order of anything. But i’ve owned lots of cars and fixed up a few myself. I would never accept a misaligned door or window…from my own work or someone’s else’s but especially not from the factory. I’d very interested in what they advise...

    How are you guys reaching out to people at Tesla? This is my first and did it all in the app. I messaged asking for an update and they simply said "No, when you get a vin it will be in the app" ..gee thanks for the clarity EDD still 3/20-31

    Nah, theyre fine. My finance came thru them within the app also. They beat BOFA who has my mortgage, and Chase who has everything else by about 1%. And my credit score is one of the better things about me :confused:

    NY/NJ Model 3 tint shops

    Can anyone recommend a shop or person in NY/NJ who tints model 3s? I have gone to my local shops, all overpriced, and all telling me Model 3s are only done in 2 pieces on the rear window. I don't want any seems. And can see plenty of places online that do 1 piece .. just not within striking...
