finally a good deal for someone and not overpriced. good luck, looks very clean as will stay that way due to protection

Is there a price for how much you want to sell your reservation for?

I wonder if thats what many are doing, buying reservations in hopes prices go up with no intention of buying a car. Good luck with sale, but the only insentive here is not waiting 6 months for a car, not saving $.

Glad you had a good service. I had to take my car in couple of times, and every time it was a great service, no one is trying to sell you oil changes, fluid flushes, etc. The issue is getting appointment timeframe. Where as before, i would just roll in or make appointment online for next day...

good point. Seems something that could have been checked as this is not a trivial situation. For that have light bleed at night, is there a workaround? Other then asking Tesla to change those cameras? Maybe there are 3rd party add on that can be installed inside the mirror housing to make it...

I read somewhere that newer model 3 have a bit different cover over those cameras and do not suffer from glares as some/most of the older ones. At night its a hassle

19 inch might offer better "performance" traction and whatnot. I have AWS with 19 and i am not fan of the OEM tires. they do not last long enough and seem are prone to punctures, at least in my case. summer tires are better for warmer climates and rain, all season just like the name implies good...

Would be interesting to see the average cost of repairs past warranty vs $4k plus whatever returns you get via high yield or ETF of I-Bonds or mutal funds, or even better, buy $4k in Tesla stock. anyone that has to use X-Care, care to comment? That is the biggest issue for me after warranty...

Did you end up buying it? It seems you started a new thread, so no?

yep, sell used, buy new!

@ScoGold so what did you end up doing. Selling used car at those prices is awesome and worth buying new car to cut on losses. never? been a better time to sell used (not classic) cars.

This is one way to make profit, sell something you dont own. But here both you and buyer benefit from it.

"brand new" if the car was sold/titled, can it really be claimed brand new? good luck with sale

good luck with purchase @givemeFSD (nice handle). Auction?

How does Tesla charger fair poorly? slow to charge? Looking at Tesla website, range is fairly wide, but in some places during cold winters or hot summers can be outside it i guess. I could find that ino from ChargePoint...

It is cheaper to install 14-50 and buy plug adapter and you are done, right? If you want/need to keep your mobile charger with you, then one can install instead or add on EVSE from Tesla. Especially if your main panel has enough amps, run 100amps to EVSE. I actually have both at home as i was...

Not many, as you can read in pages many are down from 310 to 280 or so. my 12V died a month after 3 years of owning it, thankfully in the garage and i got a warning. That is pretty good? 2018 August, 30k miles about 240 miles at 80%, so about 300 at 100% but when i charged to 100% couple of...

Cool Video, very close race which is awesome. Just like some, not a fan of BWM huge grill/kindeys, but whatever. Finally? a competitor to Model 3 performance as far as price, size, and actual performance.

Any link for Amazon pucks? Would be cool do one from hockey pucks as well as a side project.

Thank you for this link. Camera been ok, at times it blanks out.

You still rolling with your original 12V battery? Mine died days after 3 years. I have the same year and car, mid 2018 built. Control arms you say? At 100k, this was nearly worry free for you.

Good luck. Sucks that insurance said you have to work with that insurance, i thought thats part of their job to look out for you as a client. While this is hit and run, criminal? nobody got hurt this time, but is he willing to do it again with something more serious? should he be thought a...

You can apply super glue or nailpolish to stop crack from growing? I never done it, but maybe a good if your glass needs to be replaced https://www.autoglassinsanantonio.com/crack-hacks-4-ways-stop-windshield-crack-spreading/

While there are couple of people here who like to nitpick on savings, i think you made out great and hopefully this is something that can be replicated for most of us. Especially those here in California, USA where premium gas is around $5 a gallon. I assume no other cost for any work from...

Do you have a place where you live now or in near future to charge a car? With almost no credit history, it might be hard for you to get a loan from any major bank, maybe go to a local credit union to see how much you qualify for? If you drove elsewhere, than likely you will be ok. But if this...

yep, does not look for those that were waiting. There is maybe still a chance, but there are reasons why that individual is opposing this, https://electrek.co/2021/12/20/the-real-reason-joe-manchin-is-sabotaging-the-us-clean-energy-plan/

CHP has tons of other issues now to loo after (smash and grab to name a few), so from what I have seen driving here on "the" 5/10/405/101/110 They dont care too much unless you doing standout stuff. Then again only my experience I had tint for 3 years, I tinted everything. Sounds odd, but back...

Yeah, this does not look good for those waiting. But aint over until its over.

Good luck to those waiting for next year and for credit to get reinstated. It is a risk as price of the car did go up for not insignificant amount, but credit is still up in the air that is > than price hike. Risk and reward.

There has not been any significant movement on the bill. I wonder even if it has a chance, now it might look like late January/February time, or whenever congress/house gathers

That's quiet some change. I sold my 2007 Nissan Altima V6 after buying Tesla. sometimes i regret because often i drive to questionable neighborhoods and would rather take a beater. I also wish Model Y was available then, as more space is better. I love driving it for past 3 years, 30k miles.

cancel tint and sell it. I would probably do that If i was making profit and had spare car. This is your chance, might not be the only chance, but who knows for how long this will continue where a used car costs more than new.

How long tire lasts depends on number of factors. too many to list, but getting 30k miles seems a good ballpark. I only have one original tire out of 4, as other 3 got nailed. Not sure what to pick for my AWS 19's when pretty soon ill need to replace it. Likely as others said what eats the most...

via appointment. My car was in the garage, i did not feel urgency and save that spot for someone who might be stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Free charging as you can drive "unlimited" miles for the rental time and not pay a dime for "filling up" ? Thank you for the write up.

not pro, but this is far from total. I would be scared to drive if fender, bumper and headlight damage result is totaled car. if a car drives, no frame damage, you got lucky you did not get hurt and get to keep your car.

2018 model battery showed warning, 2 days later while in garage it died. Ranger came in less than 5 days, took 5 minutes and i got new battery. do not delay.

There needs to be a poll to get an accurate reading. late 30's here, got it 3 years ago. I like some here was originally going after Camry V6/altima V6/ family sedan with 300hp or so. Model 3 was considerably more expensive, still is but i love gadgets working in computer field. As some others...

I hope to get minimum 10 years and 200k miles out of my Tesla model 3 aws. if my previous car last that long (and still going) i sure hope this one as well.

when i refinanced my place, loan officer said, if you had to put in your social security for something, you are getting scammed or you will lose refinancing. I am no expert here. Above suggestions seems fine to buy with CASH and then switch if after December 10th.

I have AWD LR for 3 years and love it. I drove my friends Performance model 3 for a little bit. Its the same but faster taking off. Maybe a ride a bit harsher as it has 20 inch wheels vs 19, he had not issues with bent rims but he lives in nice posh place where roads are maintained. Tesla does...

Interesting comparison. I think Model 3 performance minus 20 inch package/brakes (M3P-) was cheaper and now it seems was by far the best deal for any model 3 and likely in that price range during that time. I hope Tesla will have enough people buying their cars, not interesting their Telsa...

Those are some long waits. Reminds me of back in the days, when some of us put $1,000 to order Model 3 when it was announced and waiting years? into late 2017 and 2018 to actually get it. Those "dark" times are back. Owning a car for 3 years, worth it since i had a good running car, but if one...

Yep, PVwatts will help resolve how many panels. It is not feasible to count per month as generation is different per season here in Northern America. in summer one gets most and in winder generation is halved due to sun being lower. if 2 panels produce about 4,000 miles worth, then @PUDGYKINS8$...

@Zacster - your setup is similar to what i did here in Los Angeles, California. I have 20 of 330 watt panels. In me very own unique case, before Model 3, over past 3 years i used about about 7,000kWh per year. Once I added my model 3 and drove some 15,000 miles per year before covid, i needed...

oh interesting. Never thought about it. I fill my tires maybe 1-2 a year, not a lot of temperature changes here in Southern California, usually fill up once when it gets "cold" and 6 months later when it gets warm. I carry this in my Frunk 12v 100 PSI High Volume Air Inflator per other users...

Unless the game plan is to put down reservation, hope tax credit will kick in sometime in 2022 and then make the purchase. That could be a very interesting $ venture (gamble). Assuming Tesla can hold your line for long enough and you still get that price

You are a patient owner. This is what other owners make fun of reliability of (insert any car) that they break down. I might have even raised hell and ask for a new car, there is still couple of days when one can return the car with Tesla, right? Enjoy your new car.

Very interesting, this is why some put down $ for reservation with no intent of buying and then "sell" their build to others at discount relative to current price. While there chance for EV bill to pass, automakers might? raise prices, so in the end it could be a wash.

I get the same issues fairly often. I am lazy to google, but it has something to do with how wireless charging works and phone being below/lower in the car which causes issues. When it happens, i move my phone into cup holder, let it get GPS and put it back, usually works
