    Uncomfortable driver seat

    Some info first: I have lower back surgery so a seat could make or break my desire to stay with a car. When I first got my 22 LR in September 2022 I did a 280 miles trip and the seat was killing me. No matter how much I changed the hight, lumbar, back position, etc. it never felt right. It was...

    notification that climate is turning off after 2 hours

    I've been getting this too when I pre-condition. I also got it on a long trip last week. I drove 4 hours straight and in the middle of the trip the notification came out. The AC did stop working on the trip. This seems to be a software bug on the latest update.

    First impressions. Short Road Trip

    Oh wow. Thanks for the info. I’ll check to see if mine has that plastic film. But yeah low visibility is the Achilles' heel on these cameras.

    First impressions. Short Road Trip

    Agree. I might replace them earlier. Probably will go with the pilot sports from Michelin. The rain was about 40 minutes off the drive. The errors was nearly the entire drive. I think it’s because the cameras aren’t that good at night and there were no lights on the road other than car lights...

    First impressions. Short Road Trip

    Hello everyone, I received my 2022 Model 3 LR on Sept 6. On Thursday I had my first short road trip for business reason. What better way to test Ultron than a 500 miles round trip. My car is now at about 1500 miles. My impressions during the trip: Range: It did excellent both way. Climate set...

    AP/phantom braking.

    My car last night did a hard brake (on AP) because there was a police car on the right (2 lanes over) with the emergency lights. I guess all that flashing / glare confused the cameras. I had to hit the accelerator to avoid being rear ended by the car behind traveling around 70 mph.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I would say if you have time to change the color change it. An extra 1000 will add only about 5 - 10 a month depending on your rate and you will enjoy the car more having the color you really like. I got Blue because I like the blue on this car. I wouldn't go with any of the free colors as I...

    Why choose Model 3 over Model Y if you can have more trunk space?

    I initially order a MYLR. Few weeks after that, I rented one on Turo for a long weekend trip. I came back and order a Model 3 LR 18" wheels after driving the Y. Reasons: The 3 drives better Better efficiency More comfortable ride It looks pretty outside (personal preference) and somehow the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think this depends on the bank. I think some banks mail the check directly to Tesla. In my case, my bank (Navy Federal CU), overnighted the check to me. I signed it and sent Tesla a picture of the check. On the day of pickup they took the check, verified that the amount matched what I said I...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I don't know if its a new option but I had it as cash and when the time came, I was able to chose between Tesla Financing or 3rd Party Financing. If you are not paying cash you cannot leave it as cash. Changing it to 3rd party will prompt to enter that financing institution info such as name...

    Conflicting Info from Tesla for payment method? [and other financing questions]

    Thanks! I order May 22nd. And VIN arrived Aug 23. So far delivery still scheduled for Sept 6 @ 11am. Hopping there are no delays. So between VIN and Delivery date there was plenty of time for me to do all paperwork, shop for best quote to sell my current car, etc. One other thing, if you are...

    Conflicting Info from Tesla for payment method? [and other financing questions]

    Delivery days change all the time. Once you see about a 2 week window that's when you are getting closer to your VIN. Do not apply for loans until you receive your VIN. I got my VIN on Aug 23rd. I applied for finance with my credit union after VIN received. I'll be taking delivery on Sept 6...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I ordered the mobile connector in May when I order my Model 3 and just today I received confirmation that it shipped. I guess they wait until your car is closed to delivery to send it over.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My EDD changed to Sept 2 - Sept 6 and got my VIN. Excited. I ordered in May. LR, Blue, 18" wheels. Got my credit union to approve my loan. I am just waiting on Tesla to give me their loan approval so I can compare rates and wait for the delivery date. Tesla low balled my trade in by 3k compared...

    Discussion : All discussion regarding Model 3 and Tax credit in model 3 subforum

    It is not retroactive. You have to take delivery of a vehicle assembled after Dec 31, 2022. Also, I am not sure if the standard model even qualifies because of the LFP battery is not made in the US supposedly. But I am not 100% sure on that. Regardless taking delivery in 2022 does not qualify...
