Four Gemini Rims only. No tires or TPMS. Located in Raleigh, NC area. Rims practically new with only 300 miles on them. Replaced with after market rims. No rash, scratches or scuffs. $900

I have two, and I have always loved to tell anyone who asks how great these cars are to own. But after I got rear-ended at a stop light and went through the struggle to get body work done, I do throw out a huge warning these days. Don't get in a wreck! Even if it's not your fault, don't do...

I also did this. Bought CPO, one way ticket and drove it 800 miles back home. Great car for long road trips. Go for it!

It is possible to get a Tesla repaired at a non certified body shop. Not recommended but possible. It is true that Tesla will not sell parts to non authorized shops but the shops can get parts from the Tesla service center in your area. The non certified shops will use your VIN to order parts...

Last month I had problem with my AP1 going out and cruise not available. It would work some days, not others. Ended up being my seat belt buckle was not registering. It would buckle fine and the car seemed to think it was buckled (no alert saying otherwise). But I could not use AP or cruise...

This was from a discussion last summer. It was an 85D, not P. Not a rolling start with stock tires (I believe, can't remember 100% on tires).

Yes, I think the certified shops definitely get priority (as they should). But I could not wait until March (7 months wait at that time). But it may end up being that much of a wait anyway. This should not be the norm. But others have it worse by not being able to drive during the wait...

Yes, meant body shop, not dealer. Can't believe I said dealer! Non-certified body shop can (and did) order a QP from Tesla. They simply order through Tesla Service Center (using VIN), then pick it up. They ordered a variety of parts, all came in except QP and nose cone. I got rear ended...

Got my wife a M3 in July and told her, "Best car in the world but DO NOT wreck it!". Heard so many horror stories about repairs. Less than a month later a 73 year old lady forgets to brake at red light and rear ends my MS! Was hoping the stories would not hold true, but I am on month 2...

Same experience here. I reserved the 3 right after intro but was worried it would be too small (I'm 6'4). I rented an S on Turo for a few days to test it out. Purchased an S soon after. I kept my reservation and now the wife drives the 3. I will say the 3 has just as much, if not more...

I have AP1 and I admit I don't use it "fully" very often. But I use the TACC numerous times every day. It is almost worth it for TACC alone. I have to drive through a "speed trap" section of road daily and using this helps me avoid tickets. I really enjoy the traffic aware cruise very much...

I have both... and love both. It is very subjective. A bigger car does not bother me and I love all the extra space of the S. The 3s seats are more comfortable. The S is faster but the 3 is more nimble. Door handles and entry (fob) are so much better on the S but the 3s center console (arm...

Makes sense and I have no problem if everyone gets theirs tomorrow. I "kind of" lost faith in the reservation system during this process. I waited 2 years and 3 months to get mine (current S owner). In that 2 year 3 month wait, I never got to configure ahead of the general public. I saw the...

I am a huge Tesla fanboy but the reservation system on this Model 3 was kind of a joke. I reserved Apr2016 and a current Model S owner. I waited for that configuration email forever. Never got it until the rest of the world did on 27Jun18. I did receive my car last week (the last current...

Finally got mine last week. Wife and I are twins now!
