    Is it reasonable to ask Tesla delivery service to improve sound proofing the car?

    They've had two years of production to get this stuff situated. Looking at all the threads on initial quality, what is it going to take for them to get their stuff together? This is why I'm not in a huge hurry to give them 50K. You shouldn't have to buy kits on amazon to make your car the way...

    Bought a model 3 at auction and repaired it [2019]

    Good luck! It looks like a fun project. I watch some young guys on youtube, the Gonzquad. They've inspired me to hopefully take on a project like yours one day. Would you mind sharing your budget and projected all in costs to get it back to form?

    Model 3 with an S/X style P100D badge [Update: obviously added by the owner]

    I think what we have here is the equivalent of owners slapping M badges all over everything in the BMW community, on anything but an M car.

    Non-Tesla Trade Ins

    I guess I caught some bad luck, or my car doesn't have much value wholesale. At the EOQ I order a 3, went through the trade process and Carmax and Tesla came in way too low. I was offered $10,400 on a 13 335i Xdrive with 98,800 in really good condition (new tires, brakes, all records ect). I...

    Thanks to Dashcam, got out of reckless ticket and potentially very expensive lawsuit

    I can't see where anyone would fault the driver at all after seeing this video. As others have stated he's within his lane and not driving irrationally zig zagging in his lane, looks perfectly normal. This feature alone would be very valuable for a person like me that does 25-30,000 miles a...

    Demo vehicle pricing

    To fix the rim it would be more than $180... I'd want a dollar per mile reduction at the very least, too.

    Vancouver Model 3 Pickup Issues...

    I'm always taken aback at what we're able to overlook or ignore when we're emotionally invested. If some of these issues aren't a big deal, then why are they not taken care of, or proactively corrected at a SC? Lowest tier or not, this model along with the Y will ultimately decide whether...

    2020 Model 3

    I guess that's my bias kicking in. I wouldn't consider anything but the LR AWD (add $4,200+ just for tax and delivery). Also, if you look at inventory of the SR+ a lot are optioned very close to $50k. I understand the value of what the 3 is, but, off this forum and in the real world I'm not...

    2020 Model 3

    As the Model Y get closer don't you think people will just hold off on a 3? I'm not so sure the demand is going to stay strong, as some think. A hefty premium is in place for a TM3 and it's space limitations. For the average person, the thought of paying 50K and what you get for the money...

    New Tesla? Nope, never again! Cherry Hill Tesla the worst.

    I have a BMW now, and was about to pull the trigger last night. For service do they not have a specific loaner program? I use my car for work and can't be without a vehicle. BMW and Mercedes are great with their loaners. I'm also not far away from you, and possibly would have to go here to...

    Pennsylvania EV Rebate price cap

    So if I was to get an inventory car with the 2 option discount, technically I would fall a couple of dollars below the $50,000 number after discount, but the base price would be higher at $52,4xx. It should be what I technically pay that would qualify me, not listed price right? Thanks in...

    Are we Really Really Saving Money owning a Tesla?

    The model 3 isn't going to save much, if any money for the normal driver within the first couple of years. If you plan on keeping the car for a while, or drive 20k+ miles a year (like me), that savings realization could be sooner. But the average consumer keeps a car 71 months, that's about...

    High Milage Model 3

    15-20k per set of tires, wow! Are these high performance or all-season high performance? I spend about 800-1000 on good 18' all-season tires rated between 50-60,000 miles at Costco. I do 25-30,000 miles a year, $1,000 on tires every 8-10 months would be alarming for me. Thanks for sharing...

    Realtime Production Updates...?

    So I took a test drive of a M3 AWD and I've seen the light. I'm resigned to the fact that I'll most likely never buy a ICE vehicle again. I have a BMW 335 now and the wind noise drives me crazy (60 MPH+) along with the smell from the AC. Similar problems are apparent in the M3 from what I've...

    Model 3 - LR RWD/Pearl White/19”/Black int/EAP/FSD

    When I build a white LR AWD with 19's is about $50k before any applicable rebates. That's the car I'm looking for.
