Ordered mine around October 8th. Confirmed on October 15th. Added Enhanced AP when they sent me the email link. My Tesla is indicating Late November - December deliver. My Tesla advisor guy said that it will definitely be delivered by Dec 15th. Pacific NW delivery area.

That is less likely with the smaller battery packs of the Model 3. With current battery technology they are somewhat limited to the rate of charge. Tesla is already VERY aggressive with SuperCharging at 120 kW. With a 90 kwh battery pack, that is already about 1.3 C. Anything over 1.0 C is...

There is certainly the possibility of a refund. Tesla provides refunds if they cannot deliver on options that you purchased. I have personally received a $5,000 refund on an option that I paid for prior to delivery (carbon fiber top) and they could not deliver. Tesla will do the right thing if...

I think all of the features in Enhanced AP will likely come true during 2017 at some point. The complete FSDC option is probably not going to happen anytime soon. They have stuff like a Tesla Network to make revenue off of your car. Government moves too slow to allow that anytime soon.

Why? All I wrote was that I don't let companies take money from me without delivering on their promises. And my comments were just saying that Tesla does it the right way. Tesla does provide refunds if they fail to deliver. Example: my carbon fiber T top for my Roadster. Tesla provided the...

After 3 years of ownership, I am basically just using a 120 v 12 amp wall outlet at the house we moved into last year. I have not yet even bothered to install a 30 amp outlet in the garage. The 4 miles of range per hour is generally enough for my daily commute around my home region. The 12...

Yeah, Elon also said he is going to send millions of people to Mars for $200,000 each. I don't believe that either. Remember the Tesla battery swap service? Lots of stuff Elon says never happens. Tesla will be discounting cars near the end of every quarter, just like every public company that...

I suspect they will lose a lot more on the loss in value for all of their AP1 inventory cars and the rejected AP1 cars. They are losing more than $2,500 in value on each of those. They probably will have to discount AP1 cars by more than $2,500 to move them.

Make that clear. Tell them you will re-order if your deposit is applied towards the new car. If not, you are moving on.

Tesla often gives refunds for items that that promised that end up being massively delayed way longer than is reasonable. Example of the carbon fiber T tops for the Tesla Roadster. It was a $5,000 option I paid for before delivery. It still wasn't available 6 months after delivery, so I asked...

I have been driving my 2013 Tesla Model S with no dual motors, no autopilot at all, etc. Still a great car. Get over it and and upgrade every 3 years. That is what I am doing. Upgrading in December. Trading in the 3 year old car. Guess, what.... in 2 years you are going to get a much more...

I recall reading an article about Uber where it was estimated that the entire USA taxi revenue was only about $15 billion. The point was being made that the $60 billion valuation of Uber was a bit crazy.

Where is that info or website? Thanks

The car has been in production for about 4 years. Isn't it likely that the original chips are no longer even in production? Odds are there are lots of parts that are upgraded over time without a formal announcement.

I live in the Pacific Northwest which as a ton of Chademo locations. In my 3 years of Model S ownership, I have never had a situation where I felt the need to have that Chademo adapter. So I never bought it. The Supercharger network covers everything around here. And the destination chargers...
