    Blog Tesla Says a Fix for Insurance is Weeks Away

    Yeah no worries, it's so cheap now i could nearly double and be cheaper than my last two cars. It's even less than our 2016 Kia Forte5 that I bought for my daughter.

    Blog Tesla Says a Fix for Insurance is Weeks Away

    Odd. My Model 3 is cheaper than any vehicle i've owned over the last few years (and i've owned about 8 different cars). $69/m for full coverage. I'm sure this is mostly about the S and X which are $80-$150k cars. Yes, i'd assume they'd be expensive to insure!

    Staining the wood dash on the Model 3

    I stained mine this weekend. It took longer than i planned to get the perfect color of stain/wood down. But I’m super happy with the results. (I do woodworking on the side - i probably wouldn’t recommend just anyone to try this at home).

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    True, I do see that now. $6k is a huge bump, but some may need that extra range. And the .3 quicker doesn't hurt!

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Nice! Thanks for sharing. Don't forget, this is just the interior. Doesn't account for the longer range and quicker/more powerful car with the SR+. Best $2k you could spend IMO. But the next $3k bump up to Premium seems, well, way too much for what you get.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Mine still shows the 23rd (this Sat). I had emailed the local dealer where i'm picking it up to ask about possibly picking it up earlier. They emailed back to say that "delivery needs to move it out a day since it is now showing as not being to the dealership until Saturday". Oddly it still...

    Past Leaf Drivers Users Group

    I've had a few electric cars starting with the Fusion plug-in. The car was excellent for the ~24 total miles you could get on a charge. Quick, quiet, great interior, looked good on the outside, smooth... But once the electric ran out, the engine was terrible. Loud, buzzy, annoying. Then I...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    My VIN showed up the same time it was scheduled. Yours is most likely on your account page??

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Yes will do! So far i've had some emails and calls ignored by my "delivery advisor" over the last couple of weeks. Then a lot of excuses why... I've also gotten different answers from different people there when my guy is off work. For now, i'd say it's very hit or miss. I also asked...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Have a delivery date of this Saturday 3/23/19. Charlotte NC Original Day 1 deposit holder (cancelled once i realized the $35k model wasn't ready). Ordered this one 5 minutes after they announced the $35k model. Estimated delivery "within two weeks" would have been 3/12/19. Received an email...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Have to talk to the right person. They're $3000 off for 2018's. Problem I'm having is black is it for me, and thankfully it's $0. They have no black MR's unless i pay the $2000 shipping from somewhere else. They have white, but then i'm spending $2000, this saving $1000 but on a color I...

    (Beware)Financing APR changed by Tesla within two weeks of approval. [in 2019]

    What's interesting is that i was told Tesla would match the price of your approved loan at your bank or credit union. I was approved for 3.75% through Tesla. 3% through my local credit union. After 4-5 emails back and forth, Tesla doesn't seem to want to do anything about matching this. One...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    My opinion on this... If you resell your car in a year or 5 years, this $2,000 is probably going to be made up in the resale value of 95% of the people wanting an SR+ with the options over the SR. In essence, you may be getting these "upgrades" for free for as long as you own the car. I've...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    2019? Why would they do that? 2019 should be $0 off. But, yay!
