    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Success! I made the 300 mile trek last night to Pittsburgh, got a room at a Holiday Inn Express about a 1/4 mile from the S/C. Didn't get into my room till about 1:30am, up and ready before 7. Had a nice breakfast at a place a good driver from the S/C. Went over about 2 hours early, they were...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I have no idea. I simply asked if there were any SG/white or black not assigned. He said they may or may not agree but they said yes. I am supercharging as we speak I'm picking her up Saturday in Pittsburgh Pa.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Quick update, shout out to George at the Warminster Pa S/C. He got my trade in back to the number quoted me in late May AND found a SG/White interior sitting the Pittsburgh showroom. He called their manager and I just got the VIN assigned to me!! Less than thrilled to drive to Pittsburgh (4...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Tesla is screwing me now on my trade in. I received a number from them in the S/C, I then bought the car that same day. The app kept showing pending but then a few days ago it updated to a number more than $2k less than what I have in writing from the S/C. This feels like a complete bait and...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    What kills me is the tanking of the value of my current M3P! WTF, losing a couple grand in a few weeks make me want to shelve this whole transaction.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Just had an update via the app. My trade in was just accepted, it had been pending since ordering. Oddly, I have a trade in already from Tesla, it was done the day I ordered the car when I was at the service center talking to a sales guy. Needless to say the "accepted" trade in was more than...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Is the 2024 deferent in this respect? My 2021 M3P has the rear heated middle seat.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I picked up my 2021 M3P from Devon. Aside from it being about 45 minutes away it was fine.

    Incredibly well kept 2021 Black/White M3P. This car has been garage kept, one owner. Washed by hand ONLY. Ceramic coated interior and exterior. No dents or dings, she's beautiful! I would prefer she goes to an owner who appreciates a well cared for car vs trade in with Tesla. New M3P...

    I drive by the new Warminster SC but they do not have their delivery license yet (thanks PA) so I'll have to hoof it to Devon when mine comes in.

    I have My Q and I loved it. I pull in my driveway and the door opens without any interaction from me. I leave the driveway and the reverse happens.

    ABSOLUTLEY keep it, it's yours you paid for it. I plan on doing the same and I mentioned to same to the SA and he said no problem.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I was thinking about that very issue...I surmised if the Model S was having issues we would be aware of it?? I've had NOTHING but black until my M3P, I'm good for another round of white but I agree black is very attractive too.
  16. Birdsfan

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I like them both. Currently have white in my 2021 M3P and feel validated when I see the white and I'm glad I ordered that color. If white was an upgrade and kicked me out of the $7,500 I would have been almost as happy with black too.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I don't mind the waiting part of this but Tesla's bs way of handling a trade in sucks. Give your customer a commitment and a mileage limit thereafter but honor what say.

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Quick update...The Sirens song was too much for me. I pulled the trigger on Friday. I went with the Stealth Grey and White interior. Between the tax incentive, A/C seats and new front end I thought WTH! My only regret is trading in to tesla my current M3P. That car was TAKEN CARE of. That...

    Installer recommends an electric garage heater. Is it necessary? I’m in the Chicago land area

    Absolute waste of money unless your garage is fitted out with water and a drain. If you plan on washing your car in your garage in the winter then yes, get it. Short of that, set your car to precondition on the app, that's what it's there for. Your car will be toasty warm even on the coldest day.

    Long time lurker, 1st Accident

    The company that owns the car will want it fixed why wouldn't they? I would guess the driver has already reported it. You will need to report this to your insurance company unless you have fairly deep pockets and wish to pay for theirs and yours out of pocket. Once you report the incident to...

    Help me decide Model 3P or Model YP

    I don't know enough about that to comment, I trust your judgment. I have heard the M3P has made suspension improvements, don't know to what extent this improves the handling? I'm not really looking at handling so much as linear speed vs more cargo room.

    To me, there are two separate and distinct animals. If you need the extra room get a Y, if you want to drive a bullet get the M3P. Kinda black and white imho...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    The ventilated seats are a definite plus. Even with white I still find the seats a little sweaty in the summer. It's the sum of a lot of little things that I'm finding is a draw. For me, the biggest plus is the new front end. I love the look of my car from the side and rear but I'm only...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Thank you all for your feedback. I think the right move for now is to hold off. I'm not thrilled with the number Tesla is offering, my car has received as much pampering as possible. I know in a trade-in this is somewhat irrelevant. As mentioned above, perhaps when they are in a "push" to...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Lots of good feedback both pro and con. The $7500 tax credit is quite tempting but perhaps a slow burn is what I should be doing. I had a nice email exchange with Matt at Tech Forum (YouTube) and he is the similar situation I am. I installed his Atlas screen mount a few years ago and was...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    I'm thinking of trading in my current 2021 M3P for the 2024 M3P. I'm hoping to get some feedback from my fellow Tesla owners. My M3P has 30k on it, no accidents, dents dings...VERY clean with a full winter set up of wheels and tires. I owe about $29k with a rate of 2.49%, less than three...

    Almost got struck by Lightning today...

    If I'm in the pole position and unless I have a very clear line of sight I will pause for "one one thousand two one thousand" as a just in case. Too many redlight runners.

    M3 (PPSB) paint repair help needed

    I would have a hard time answering your question not knowing how proficient you are or are not with body work. There is nothing inherently more difficult with a Tesla vs any other car.

    Weird Noise from front motor if I shift to drive when rolling backwards, or to reverse while rolling forward

    I have a 2021 M3P and rarely go from D to R or visa versa without coming to a stop (habit from ice cars). I have not heard any noise if I do this, you have chosen the best path with a service appointment.

    Off-peak Hours confusion…

    Yes. See at the bottom of the app screenshot you posted. It states you will charge off peak and be done by 5:45am. I have mine set up the same way. I could plug in at 6pm but the car will not start charging until I get to super off peak (midnight) and stop at 6am for my set up.

    M3, Android & bluetooth, message sounds

    Are you sure it's not in the individual sound profile of the app itself? Each of the apps can have their own sound profile. I don't have the S21 but I've had enough Samsung phones. My current Pixel does this too.

    My Tesla Model 3 Highland experience – 1000 kilometres and 2 weeks later (in Ireland)

    Depends on the battery Mr. Plant (sorry, I couldn't resist). The standard range battery comes with the LFP I believe and that is encouraged to charge to 100%. The long range and Performance, Tesla is recommending 80% these day for daily commuting unless taking a trip. I frequently charge to...

    My Tesla Model 3 Highland experience – 1000 kilometres and 2 weeks later (in Ireland)

    I forgot to mention, do you have the option for time of use pricing? With my utility company in the states, I pay .04 cents per Kw overnight when I charge.

    My Tesla Model 3 Highland experience – 1000 kilometres and 2 weeks later (in Ireland)

    Congrats on the new ride! Nice write up on your experience. The warning you get going over the speed limit? If I'm not mistaken there is a setting you can toggle on or off to alert you when going X over the speed limit with X being user defined. Been a while since I played in the settings...
