My wife was holding on with white knuckles the last time we were up in Los Altos Hills in my GTI, I’m not sure she’ll like me very much if I unleash the P3D up there. Incidentally, I’ve not had much opportunity to try this out in the twisties just yet, but initial gut feel is good, but more...

Way cooler than the Fremont pickup. They just had them in a parking lot. Picked up my P3D from there today. Was there for about 3hrs from appointment start until driving away. 1hr was just waiting to be seen by a guy with the paperwork, then 2hrs on and off in finalizing the trade in and...

Picking up tomorrow afternoon from Fremont. Been told to expect the contract in the morning. Hoping delivery goes smoothly, I have a ton of errands to run all over town to plenty of time in traffic to fiddle with the new toy!

I wasn’t really referring to breaking distance, more talking to the “braking feel” comments. Wondering if the increased regen is making the brakes feel more responsive during more regular braking maneuvers.

One thing I’m not seeing considered is factoring in the additional regen braking force in the P3D. Compared to the 3LR there is a whole other motor of regen potential. Will be interesting to compare the big brake P to the regular brake P or AWD.

Eek! My pickup is on Thursday and I’ve not got a contract yet. Advisor said he expects it Thursday morning... Paying cash, so wonder if that minimumizes the effort?

If when I ordered (June 27) I knew the $5k option included lower suspension and bigger brakes, I’d have spent the extra $. Unfortunately configurator and info on the car was very misleading at that time. It wasn’t until several weeks later did we get confirmation on the various differences. My...

Placed June 27th

Almost certain it’ll be Dual Motor, but will report back on Thursday (after my wife drags me out of the car).

Hum, maybe I can modify it or find something similar.

I’m in the South Bay, at order time was given a Home Delivery option. Once contacted by Tesla to set a date, I was told home deliveries are too busy and can I collect from Fremont. I preferred the idea of a pick up from Tesla anyway, removes some of the unknown. Hope things are running...

Performance Model 3 Dual Motor, no additional performance upgrade pack. That upgrade included 20” wheels, brakes, spoiler, etc. I believe that this package also had the red calipers. I’ll have the “Dual Motor” badge provided separately and not applied to my car on delivery.

I got a quote for my 2013 GTI from Shift for $11k, KBB “trade-in” range is 13.5k - 15k. KBB instant offer was $13,730, Tesla was $13,650. Heading to Carmax today to get a third opinion. FYI Tesla will match Carmax, they will not match other trade offers. Leaving some money on the table here...

Nope, P3D non perf upgrade running on Aero wheels. I believe they have standard brakes.

There was a form on condition first, but these where the only photos requested.
