    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I may do this as it would seem more convenient than having to go into an app every time to operate the garage door. But for me i like the clean simple interior look without it so I'll probably take the clip off of it then double sided tape it to the back of the screen so it's easy access to...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Wait, what am i missing? I have the MyQ app on my phone and when i go into the app i can open or close the garage door from wherever i am by hitting the button. The app was free to download and there are no subscription fees to allow me this control. It's free and works how i need it. I guess...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I believe they put the ability to turn regen fully off in track mode only. Probably allows tesla to shield the loss of EPA range from doing this since it's only a track mode option is my guess. I was curious to see about fully turning off regen because my wife told me she doesn't want to even...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    End of June is not far from now. Tesla needs to prove that Q1 fiasco was because of line shut downs for Highland and then the delays for white interior for Highland. They need a strong showing for their Q2 earnings for their investors. Elon can't do any of his crazy robotaxi, neural implant...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    After you get a VIN everything changes. After i got my vin i was able to text the SA from the # they texted me on earlier requesting me to provide the MVPA doc to my lender. In which i then texted the SA back telling them i needed an email address to send them a Dealer Funding form from my...

    I messaged Tesla in the app about 4 days ago. Still no response back. I got better response time from subsequent texts and emails.

    I also have delivery scheduled for tomorrow. I'll take some pics and try and report back some at least some unique info that hasn't been said yet to be of some value and interest for everyone. Very excited as I've owned a few sports cars over the years but this will be my first EV ( owned a Ford...

    Your video on the double payment made me think twice about electronic payment to Tesla. Good info to know. Luckily i can make final payment with a Cashiers check in CA. That would be a video i would recommend others to watch before completing their delivery/pick up.

    In the 10's! Now let's see once on a prepped strip how deep into the 10's this car can get.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Wow! And this is not a high 10.9x but a low 10.9x!!!! Very telling... So maybe a 10.8x or maybe in the 10.7's at a prepped strip?

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    To add to what jennieR said, my .02 is that by the time when the vin is assigned to you, that process is 100% A I. driven. I've come to that conclusion because when i got my vin it was 4am on a Saturday. I know Elon works his employees to the bone, but is there really a human being at Tesla at...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Says the person from a zero % sales tax state. Not paying sales tax is a total cheat code! If Tesla told me today that if i agree to not being charged $4,350 sales tax so that they can delay my order to October, where do i sign up for that! Yes please!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I hear what you're saying about early ordering. I ordered as soon as i could after release date, not so much for early delivery, as much as i was more worried about the price going up with initial demand cause there was many in the M3P speculation thread saying this car would be priced on...

    Feeling alot of animosity right now against California right now because of deliveries. Sure, I get it. Lay it on us. If it makes you east coasters feel any better we don't get a change in seasons here. (I think that's a big thing with them cause all my relatives in Michigan tell me they'll...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    You bring up a point about resale that has me thinking in terms of battery chemistry. What would worry me if I'm in the used car market for either a M3SR or a more expensive M3P, which the way i am, i look at it like what's the worst the previous owner could do to the car. With ICE there's...

    List of all cars faster than 2.9 sec? List may be longer than you think. Per WIKI i count over 40 cars? The real flex is having a new 2024 model car offered at under $70k that can do 0-60 in under 3 seconds. If there is another mass production car (ICE or EV) that meets that criteria I'd be...

    Is that a NY requirement? This might be a state specific thing, but in CA you only need to secure insurance for the car within 30 days of taking delivery. The app only asks for proof of your current auto insurance policy. Not that you have secured auto insurance on this new, yet to be delivered...

    LOL - My mom's Lincoln Towncar absolutely rides better and is more comfortable than a M3P. No contest.

    I hear ya. For what it's worth I've owned 3 BMW's over my life (1996 328i, 2010 M3, 2017 M240i) and ALL of them had some degree of orange peel.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I can agree with most of your concerns, especially the painting over debris, that doesn't sound good at all, while i would be interested in seeing a pic of that out of curiosity. Where i don't agree is your issue with orange peel. I get it, you don't want to have to spend the money after you...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Here's what happened to me a week previous to getting the vin: my EDD got pushed out from "May 25 - June 2" to a new EDD of "June 24 - June 30". It stayed at that late June EDD window until the vin populated. After the vin populated it went back to the late May early June window again. As...

    Yes, refresh the app as that hits first. I got my vin at 4am Saturday when i checked it while up for my usual bathroom break. Last i checked it was 11pm the previous night and the vin wasn't yet there. So at 4am i saw the vin, then checked for an email or text from Tesla. Nothing. Later at...

    Hang in there!!!! Cause i went from that exact daily window walk for late May to June 2nd, to then a late June delivery window and thought i was going to have to wait another month. Then a week goes by and then my vin was assigned! It really makes no sense as others have pointed out. Just be...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    In my case I got my vin showing in the app several hours before I received a text about it from Tesla. You'll just need to do what we all do on a constant basis = check the app on a frequency that doesn't drive you nutz. For me I checked it every 15 minutes or so every waking hour of the day...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Agreed. I went White interior but from the pictures of the black interior with the Alcantara door cards and Alcantara on the bolsters front and back, Tesla did well designing this interior and differentiating it from the regular black interior in the SR and LR Highland 3. You can't go wrong with...

    If they aren't transparent about why the previous person rejected the car, I would just bring in a delivery checklist (can be found on this forum) and do a thorough walk through. Take your time and you'll probably spot the issue. It's also possible that delivery was rejected for a reason other...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I forgot to mention, you can only do this on the app if your not yet assigned a vin. If you're on the website it won't show up, and if you are on the app and you have been assigned a vin you will no longer have the option in the app to take delivery of a car sooner in inventory.

    Don't filter by car type. Just put "all deliverables" and it will show up if you're 200 miles from that location.

    I'm personally not a fan of the mudflap look, but i am looking into protection by going the PPF route. Looking into just having the crucial/ rock chip prone areas to have done as i can't afford a full car PPF.

    Another option for people not members of a credit union and don't like what Tesla's or your local bank rate has; if you have a parent or grandparent who was in any branch of the military, you'll qualify for membership to USAA. I'm not affiliated with them and honestly didn't know up until about...

    I'm with you on the windshield decision back and forth but for me I'm torn between a Air80 and a 70% for the windshield. Air80 is basically clear and has ok (43%) solar heat rejection. But with 70% it's now ever so slightly tinted but with more solar heat rejection than the Air80. Any way you go...

    I'm sure there are some ladies or some short skinny dudes that weigh around 100lbs that will be taking delivery. Would be interested to see their times running this car. 😂

    Great option, but where can you order parts from Tesla? And would that cost more than having a shop cover them for you? IDK?

    For everyone who really wants the white seats but wants the black interior for the Alcantara door accents; a few points of consideration- 1) As mentioned the seat cover option blocks the ventilation and is not recommended for side airbag interference. 2) As I mentioned on this thread a few...

    Yep. $150 poverty level. 200K and you're renting cause you still can't afford a home. $200 K maybe a condo or townhome/attached home sure. House = 250k or more. No joke. My wife and I are at $200K combined and we wouldn't be able to afford to buy the 1,600 sqft home we have in OC as it's valued...
