    Price on Tesla website vs ordering agreement

    We bought an inventory Model Y a couple of months ago, and the price we agreed to was not reflected on the order agreement paperwork. That price was the normal MSRP. However, the actual financial paperwork with the bank was the agreed upon price. Not sure why there was a discrepancy, but it...

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    We've had a few Model 3s over the last several years and every one of them developed a bad smell within a few months of ownership. Wondering what are the odds that the Highland will have corrected this issue when it comes available in the US?

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Nice! Looks familiar :) Mine was also pretty immaculate, and came with the mobile charger despite me having placed my original order after the cutoff date. I think that was supposed to end with April orders but my May 10 order still got it for me. Woo!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Officially graduated today as well, and all is good as far can I tell. No QC issues that I could find. It was raining a bit when I arrived and had to drive through a horrendous rainstorm in Memphis that turned intersections into rivers I had to ford, but the car did everything beautifully. And...

    Graduation day for me too! On the way now to the DC. Fingers crossed for excellent QC and a smooth delivery process!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    You almost have to wonder if these companies aren’t money launderers. Or maybe I need to watch less Ozark.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I sold a Mach E to GMTV last fall and their offer was nutball high, much higher than Carvana or Vroom. The last few months though their offers have been pretty low, even lower than the others. I found another company called Texas Auto Value and they made much more enticing offers. Not sure how...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Does NC impose a time limit on that sales tax offset? Here in AR, we have 60 days on either side of purchasing a new car to offset the sales tax with the sale of another car. It’s a pain in the rear to get reimbursed if you have to pay up front but definitely worth making sure to pay attention...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Delivery appointment scheduled for tomorrow! Finally got Tesla to confirm the car is at the DC and will be prepped and ready for the appointment. It's weird, a month and a half ago it felt like this would never come, and now that it has it seems to have flown by. But....that could be because I'm...

    I hope you’re right.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I asked my SA about the mobile charger kinda hoping against hope, but he confirmed that since my OD was after the April cutoff, I won’t be getting it. Darn.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Pick up scheduled for next Friday 8/6! That week is going to crawl. Maybe it’ll be ready earlier. Memphis is a pretty low volume DC so I don’t think I’ll be competing for delivery slots.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Hmm, that's interesting. Yes I received the VIN on 7/18, got the text about it leaving the factory on 7/20. Last I heard from my SA, they expected it to hit their lot on 8/2 but that seems like a long transit from CA to TN. Maybe not though. If it happens similar to your situation, I should...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Seeing your post has me super excited! My OD was a few days after yours and my switch to a M3P was also right around the same time. I also happened to order the same spec and I’m in the same general region of the country. Maybe this portends a slightly sooner delivery than I’m expecting!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I doubt you'd be waiting until December. Give it some time and you'll probably see the EDD shift upward. I had a LR on order and the EDD kept pushing back. I seriously considered buying a lightly used '22, but their prices were the same as the performance. So I just switched to the P and my EDD...
