    2020.12.5

    This may be a silly question and sorry if it was answered already in this thread, but I'm still on 2020.8.3 and it says I'm up to date as of yesterday. I have a 2020 Model 3 Standard Range. Is there any way to push the update my way? Also, as I just got the car last month and with the...

    Wait you use your LEFT foot when driving?! Are you left handed? I could never imagine having the coordination in my left foot to drive as well as my right. Are you a two-foot driver all the time?

    So the COVID-19 is causing delays?

    Just picked mine up yesterday, arrived a few days BEFORE my original delivery date. There were about 3 or 4 others picking up 3s/Ss while I was there, and they just got their first Y this week. Seems ok for orders already placed.

    That's what I was thinking. I put a down payment down but had to finance a part of it. I signed off work early, hopped over to the credit union to close the loan, get the check, picked up my sister so she could drive my old car home, then went straight to Tesla to pick it up. All in about an...

    Haha yes we had max 6 of us together and no touching! Well, some did get in and out of the car but what can ya do. Havent tried Lysol on the door handles - think it would harm inner/outer door handles?

    Yup! Went to the in laws and drove them around the block a few times. They are amazed at the tech but definitely not the type to buy one themselves. Cousin in law lives nearby and we drove to his place, he and his roommates came out to check it out and were super jealous. They wanted me to floor...

    Delivery day! Cherry Hill service center called today and asked if I wanted to pick it up early! (Original date was 3/21). I was nervous with all the closures that if I didnt jump on it now I would be risking any breaking news between now and Saturday. So, I went for it! We drove to my in laws...

    So the COVID-19 is causing delays?

    I ordered 2/29 and my delivery was set for this Saturday the 21st, in Cherry Hill NJ. Last communication I had with the delivery liaison said we were still on for 3/21 and that they'd keep me updated if that changes. However, a lot has changed since then and I haven't heard back from the...

    USAA is for military and families. I didn't serve, but my mother (and father-in-law) did so I got in through her. If you or an immediate family member is currently in or has served, you might be eligible.

    I've been with USAA for years. They offer quite a few discounts, too (new car discount, auto-home bundle discount, safe driving discount, etc.) I've heard Progressive has competitive rates, if you haven't checked them out yet. Are you in NJ? Could also be a difference state vs state.

    Yup, definitely applying for that when I can. They're still working it out but vehicles purchased after 1/17/2020 can apply for the rebate come July. After July it's taken off at purchase. So awesome. Thanks for the reminder about time of use. I looked into it and am not sure I'm ready to...

    It has been a bit since I posted in this thread but I got my delivery date! 3/21/2020. Husband is much more excited about it now. I'm going on a trip in mid-April with my family, so I jokingly told him "Don't drive my Tesla when I'm gone!" He is absolutely going to drive it while I'm gone. I...

    Suddenly there is rear heated seat

    You can pay for an upgrade to get the range of the SR+, which is ~20 more miles. It's the same battery, but is a software limitation. At least, according to my Tesla Associate who helped me purchase a basic model 3 over the weekend. You would not be able to get the LR range, as it is a different...

    Honestly, I just told him about some of the easter eggs - he LOVES the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy one, and almost wants us to fork up the extra $$$ for autopilot for the Rainbow Road feature alone.
