    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    In my case, as much as my FJ Cruiser, 2021 C8 Corvette and a tiger moth trailer combined!

    Differences Between Mid-2018 Model S and Mid-2023 Model S

    They will not ask you for it and if they do you’re not going to give it to them. I guarantee you they’re not pricing that into the offer that you’re getting. Moreover, you can rest assured that if it was important to them it would be included in the instructions that you must bring the cables...

    Light show update trunk?

    Initial behavior my 2021 M3P was what you say [only opened about an inch and then closed], but that was only once the very first time. Since then, it doesn't do anything. Everything else seems to work the way it supposed to. By contrast, my wife's 2020 MYLR works perfectly. Of course she...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I haven't posted here much since I finally got my M3P in December, but I was driving around in my FJ cruiser yesterday and spotted this truck which should make at least four or M3P folks in Southern Nevada happy!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    So, we're also considering buying a new house and my loan officer explained to me that multiple inquiries with in a 30 day period (where your shopping around for a loan) do not have the same impact as when you have an inquiry that's outside of that 30 day. One looks like shopping for a good...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    it is 60 days and that's exactly what happened to me back in December. Approval ran out two days before I took delivery. ಠ_ಠ So, you end up with another hard inquiry and if it's outside of 30 days that's a double hit. That would not of happened to me if the promise that was mean to me had been...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Good point. In both of my purchase scenarios, there were no comparable cars to test drive. The Y's didn't exist at the time of order and no refreshed 2021 M3Ps existed either. My wife's Y was the first time either of us ever set foot in a Tesla, though we had a Leaf beforehand.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    It was explained to me that at the time of your order, everyone is assigned a SA. You can call the 800 number, enter your zip and whoever answers should be able to give you your SA's name. That's how I got my SA's info. After that we exchanged texts and calls throughout the process. Before I...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    No. They are plastic so they had to be painted separately. Just glossy black spray paint.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yes. Often. In my car its a deep "growl" seems to be related to the heat pump. I don't know if it's supposed to be normal or not but while I'm sure I should be annoyed, I kind of like it. It's almost like the car is alive and angry. I can also say that my wife's model y also has the octovalve...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Chill mode and performance mode is the difference between having faster acceleration. Once you purchase the $2000 speed boost on either the Y or the 3 the word "normal" is replaced with "sport." It's branding, semantics and software.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    We own on a model Y long range and my father bought a model Y performance. I have a 2021 model 3 performance. Simply put, the car as is the case with most, handles much better than the SUV even the performance variant. It's not even close. The performance Y handles better than the long range...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Can now confirm nominal 82kWh battery. But still only showing 310 miles of topped of range. I'm sure software will deal with that.
