I only hand wash our cars. Optimum No Rinse and a trillion microfiber towels all day long.

Surprisingly, I have not missed having USS at all after using our refreshed 3 for a little while. In fact, I actually prefer the Vision experience better. The rendering it performs during Park Assist is infinitely better than the 360-degree parking assists I've used in the past.

I'd Turo a Rivian for a week before pulling that trigger if you haven't already done so. Rivian's software leaves a lot to be desired AFAIK and you're at the mercy of Electrify America and their ilk (VASTLY inferior experience compared to the Supercharging Network, like BAFFLINGLY worse).

The positive trade-in value (the value of your trade-in less payment of any loans outstanding on that vehicle) applies towards the cost of your new Tesla, _including taxes and registration._ Since your trade-in has positive value, you don't need to put anything extra down if you don't want to...

Took delivery today! Extremely smooth experience. No (obvious) defects detected. Drives excellent; definitely an improvement from the 2020 model. It's a bummer that FSD isn't enabled yet on these though. I'm excited to see how HW4 compares! Good luck, everyone!

I finally got a VIN and am taking delivery next week!!!! Some work had to be put in to get it, though. I called my local Showroom/Service Center here in Houston. To get to the _actual_ service center and not Tesla's national call center, do the following: - Press "1" for Vehicles - Press "3"...

Anyone considering ditching their order for a Ludicrous?

Houston AWD update. I spoke to a delivery sales person today over text. Delivery for my January AWD order is on track for March. This might be the case for other AWDs from the January cohort that destined for Houston. I confirmed that picking up in Dallas does not affect place in line.

If y'all want to make a copy of The Spreadsheet™ that keeps up with the original version, create a new sheet by visiting Google Sheets: Sign-in and add this formula below to the first cell on the upper right-hand corner...

Interestingly enough, we're trading in a Ford for this new Tesla and it definitely had big BBLBLBBBB vibes before we took it into the shop for repairs

Wow, crazy you got 6%. I got 7.59% from my credit union and that was the best they could do (84-mo loan term).

Unless you're a dumb like me who ordered the car via Apple Pay (WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE) but forgot to change the email address. You'll get your messages sent to your old account even after you merge the account with your actual account.

FLINTSTONES CAR 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Same; I started refreshing this post and the Tesla app way more often once I started seeing AWDs get VINs, and again after I saw one White/Black AWD get a VIN. I just want to get financing and insurance out of the way lol

In Texas, taxes are now included in the final sale price and MVOA. You can either roll them into the loan (assuming you aren't asking for more than your loan's max loan-to-value (LTV)) or pay them in cash. Not sure if this varies between states. (This is new. When I ordered our first Tesla back...
