    My 2023 Model 3 got totaled :(

    The thing is my kids are really short... my wife and daughter are all 5ft tall, so they would use it... I would prefer not getting the 3rd row TBH and get the cheapest Model Y, but I need to make the decision with my wife as she likes to take her parents out with us so we would use it. Thanks...

    My 2023 Model 3 got totaled :(

    The Damage is not bad IMO but they said its totaled. I think we will upgrade to a Y, but personally to me the 3 drives noticeably better than the Y, so I will miss that. My wife and kids want the 3rd row, so that will make them happy. I am just having a hard time dealing with all the logistics...

    Model 23 with roof rack - testing wh/km

    lol no one can answer the question? well 3w per kilometer is 300w every 100km, or 3000w every 1,000 km, or 1000w every 333km Where I live in CT that would translate into $.25 every 333km when charging from home

    Tesla canceling my order

    That makes no sense to me, if you deliver me a messed up car twice, I lose my deposit? Its not the OP fault if his first order had rock chips. Who would want to take delivery of that, that should be on Tesla, not the OP

    Congrats! you are going to love it. Drives very smooth. Which model 3 are you getting? You will need to buy floor matts as it does not come with it. I got mine in February, Just watch some videos in regards to build quality so that way before pick up you can make sure everything looks good as...

    CHEAPR ineligible why? [CT rebate program]

    I reached out to CHEAPR and they said only one rebate every 24 months. I did buy the car under my name and my wife, so I am thinking Tesla should be able to run it under my wifes diver's license number. I will keep you all updated on how I make out.

    CHEAPR ineligible why? [CT rebate program]

    Hi All, i bought a base Model 3 at the $43k msrp at the end of FEB 2023. Now Tesla just reached out to me saying that they are unable to send the application for me as its coming up that I am ineligible. I am not sure why would that happen, I did by an ev last year, does that matter? I reached...

    What is the dumbest thing your Tesla does?

    This used to happen to me the first time I tried because I was doing it wrong. Just have your cell phone on you and then push the release button on top of the charger without pulling wait a second or two and you should hear an unlock sound, then with both hands pull out the charger and adapter...

    Yesterday the car said it needed to update and just did it overnight. The proximity function is working now. I also notice they updated the energy consumption area as well.

    Usual price for tire swap ?

    I am not sure how many feels about this as I am not sure how the quality fo the work is, but I know at least in the past if you bought snow tires from Costco, they would swap the tires for free every season, The best option is for sure to have separate wheels and tires.

    Social Media and Posts on here starting to give me anxiety.

    It seems you are well educated on the subject. I too was new to buying a model 3 and mine experience was good. I did not find anything major wrong with the car with the panel's alignment. I did find inside the car, around the pillar one of the panels is not aligned but its in the back. I did...

    Misaligned roof window at delivery. SC trying to tell me warranty will shorten if replaced.

    My wife has not showed any interest in wanting to drive the tesla, and I am not pushing her hard either. I could set some time aside to show her how the tesla works, but to be honest I am a bit afraid she will get it scratched. I usually dont care but I like this car... :)

    Misaligned roof window at delivery. SC trying to tell me warranty will shorten if replaced.

    This is good info. I guess I got lucky with mine as it is aligned, but knowing what I know now, I would reject delivery if mine was that bad, if there is a next time. Did you find any other issues with the car? What about inside? do all the Panel trims line up well? I am not sure if it matters...
