Speaking of thread bumps. 9 months after trading my LRAWD for an i4 e40, I have no complaints. It's a great car, and surprisingly rare in my experience. As in, I've seen less than 10 since they first started being delivered, That, compared to the VW Beetle-level of market penetration of the...

My favorite part about this is if you try voice commands to text, it says that the feature is only available with iOS 13 or higher. I honestly didn't know that 15 is lower than 13. 🤪

It looks like my service appointment for discrepancies identified during delivery just became an overnight thing. 😠 When I was at the service center, the SA stated, and the app showed 5pm today for pickup, after I left, it updated as tomorrow, 11am. 😡

I’m glad to see that someone else has mentioned a popping sound while supercharging. I’m using a Supercharger for the first time, just as a test on the M3LRAWD I picked up Thursday, and I thought someone had banged on the rear passenger side quarter panel, then again a few minutes later. I heard...

Randomness rules this whole thread. Many of us check a lot more than once a day. Personally, I tried to limit myself to only checking every 3 hours. Even just in my own experience, updates came at any time of day or night.

Sure, but this car cost almost twice as much as the Infiniti I traded in from when I bought it brand new. I wasn’t expecting the quality of fitment to be twice as good, but it isn’t even close to AS good. Plenty of manufacturers make luxury cars at higher volume, lower price and yet still with...

Do service centers even carry Tesla Shop stuff? They don’t strike me as somewhere you can just buy something off the shelf. Specifically, I have never seen a Tesla showroom or service center that had shelves. 😬 I think I would be more surprised if there was NO restocking fee.

The bright white inside the driver's side door hinge area is really quite noticeable. Like, I saw it immediately upon opening the door for the very first time to get in, before I even took out the checklist or started looking for flaws. At least the yellowish color in the passenger side is a lot...

Word of advice: if you have any sort of issues upon delivery with things you want fixed/adjusted, make that service appointment FIRST. The app does not let you make more than one service request at a time. I made the request for my Homelink installation, thinking that appointment would be...

The gaps between the same panels on opposite sides are not the same. The driver’s side gap is noticeably wider.

I just wanted to go for a drive before posting more. ;) Ryzen chip: yes Li-Ion: unknown Heated Wipers: yes Double-glass, rear doors: No "Issues" Please feel free to say if you think any of these are normal, and I'm being nit-picky. 1. Does Tesla not actually paint inside the door hinge area...

So… A thing happened today: I bought that Infiniti G35 in 2003 with 14 miles on the odometer. 19.5 years later, now with 83,262 miles, it’s service to me shall not be forgotten. I drove it four times coast-to-coast, plus twice round trip between Chicago and Boston, so the mileage could have...

Well, butter my biscuits. For the past few weeks, people kept jumping back and forth on either side of that 3-week period. It sounds like Tesla is more confident in when Giga Texas will be ready to take over, or nobody with dates in that range were talking. 🤔

If you are OK not having a car until end of April, go for it. A LOT of things people sell their car before they have a VIN and then see their EDD pushed several more times.

For funsies, I drove over to the Tesla Service Center where I will be picking up my car tomorrow if everything goes right. They did have a couple of blue Model 3's without plates, but the VINs didn't match mine. I could see another in the service bay furthest away from the public areas, and I...
