    Wheels rubbing or slipping?

    This happens to me too, almost exactly as you describe. Even more apparent when you’re at the end of the steering rack.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Got a VIN! NF459 6/3 order, RN11508 MSM/Black/21”/No FSD SoCal EDD November 19 - November 28. Got a text last week confirming if I’d be okay with home delivery and where to park it!

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I was holding steady for a few weeks for an EOQ delivery window but then yesterday it pushed to October 07 - October 27. RN1150. LR/MSM/Black/21"/No FSD. So Cal. Definitely bummed! My guess is they realized if they can prioritize 100-200 cars that have FSD on them and push non FSD to next...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I e-mailed my SA, to get confirmation but realized I could do it myself. I did it myself.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I did the opposite. I removed FSD via the website and it did not trigger a order price increase. My SA also told me the same, ”And yes correct, you can remove FSD without triggering the price increase.” FWIW it’s the same price to add after the fact (which is why I removed, not to roll into...

    Canceled my Model X order . . . .

    Customer service plummets at the end of quarters and pivots to exclusively trying to get as many cars out of the door. Try again now. They'll be back to focusing on closing sales. The only negative is you'll have to wait at least a month for Tesla to pivot back to North America deliveries...

    M3 Keycard Holder Solution

    I ended up getting one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B9KJSCF It's not as fancy (or expensive) as the leather one -- but I like how utilitarian it is over the other options because it has a key ring for the valet stands.

    Model 3 shifts into Park by itself

    Same thing happened to me trying to back out of a parking space with my seatbelt unbuckled! It was really jarring and confusing in the moment; in retrospect it totally makes sense.

    Are there any TM3s out there without ANY issues?

    I’m still on the fence on which car I prefer better, but the Model 3 is hands down more solid and better built. No rattles, smaller gap tolerances, and just more bespoke and nuanced.

    Anyone in LA (SFV) with Midnight Silver (delivered)?

    I have a Midnight Silver Model S and a Midnight Silver Model 3. They are the same exact color.

    Are there any TM3s out there without ANY issues?

    Zero issues. VIN 508X. Exponentially better built than my 2017 Model S.

    Model S to model 3 regret?

    Drive a Model 3. Borrow one, bribe someone with some beer, rent one on Turo, etc. I absolutely love my wife’s Model 3, but I’d still take my 2017 S75 over it any day of the week. The S75 just feels more luxurious, more magic-carpet-ride feeling, more enveloping, and more spacious. The Model 3...

    Model 3 Ready To Order

    This is incorrect. After you put down your $2500 confirmation payment, you are presented with several screens about how you want to register the car and have the chance to upload supporting drivers licenses and insurance docs. This is where you'd specify your friend’s info in lieu of yours...

    Used Model S or Wait for Model 3?

    What kind of car do you drive now? And what do you value in a car more - the ride or the fits and finishes - or size? The Model S drives like a magic carpet ride and the interior is way more luxe and encompassing. It’s a large car that takes some getting used to if you’re coming from a...
