Wow, this is a first I ever read about someone winning a car. To the OP, there are numerous people here who “prey” on some new comers by telling them what’s the car worth and in reality they want to rip you off. Anyways, good luck with sale and congrats. Would be a lot better if you can transfer...

What would be a reason/incentive to buy before Tesla warranty runs out [so far ahead of time]? Would end users make more sense base on their experience to buy towards end of 50k ?

I had similar problems. My garage door has windows on top. When neighbors car drive by, it sets off flood light and tesla cameras get triggered.

As @Knightshade pointed out, perhaps you live and work where temperature does not drop below zero in your state and or your cars are garage kept. Either-way, as you quoted me, who knows long term model 3. I am being faithful that just monitor random crap here and there.

I would rather buy new, not buy FSD and price difference becomes null? You might get better resale value? and new car has some minor improvements as you see but also some items are missing like homelink, 240v charger, hooks, etc. Just some food for thought.

just like all other car manufactures? To answer OP, it was implied that electric cars will last longer, less maintenance. So after warranty runs out, hopefully those small things that will go bad wont be expensive to fix. As long as motor(s) and battery keep chugging along, should suffice for...

You are not alone. Here waiting as well with me AWD with FSD. Seems there are couple of stages before Early access program kicks in.

Wife has a point, but Lexus is boring. Sorry to hear this. Glad you and your family are safe.

Looks different, your car, you do what puts smile on your face. I think this was done neatly and hopefully it does cut down on the heat as you intended.

@4rjun - No. If you had spare money, sure your money. But since you do not have spare money and this is something that you want/like, not at your best interest. @chinnam3 - I did not buy it at 2k, but when EAP to FSD became 3k, i "invested" my money. The rest went into Tesla stock. I agree with...

good idea. Are yours rubber like or ridged kind? I want to get mud flaps because just like any car, dirt gets picked up and ends up under the car panels

thanks, I also wanted painted ones but some here said paint will crack and recommend inpainted. I hope these will workout for you.

Haha, maybe with spacex and Starlink like system we might get update in real time. I love Tesla as I often forget where I park in huge parking lots. This helps me find it with ease. Soon? Summon will bring car to me :)

It will be great to see Crossover segment have BEV options. Here Tesla has more experience building electric cars but Ford is a bigger company. Both could have their own advantages. Lets see whats the range will be first on the Ford

You can join this site https://pvoutput.org and compare your outputs to nearby with the same/similar system setup. I did that to see how my system is doing compared to others. It helps if delta is big to know something is off such as bad panels or dirt. If you connect your system to here, you...

Car looks good. Why did you decide to put in real leather? Looks or more comfortable? Love the wheels and fiber accents. Glad to see a Tesla owner with a gun, never know these days from Tesla hating crowds.

Wow, glad you were using Dashcam. With 3 witness against you would have been tough at the trial. Luckily dude survived and did not get run off by traffic while sliding. This is why I make sure my Dashcam works here in California where lane splitting is legal. Often bikers come very close to my...

At this rate in couple years AWD model 3 will be as powerful as current model 3 performance:) I care about efficiency more than power.

this sucks. To be fair did you ever get MVPA paperwork with VIN stating? Now we see the problem is not only with VIN but you got screwed over planning - this is not fair to you. Maybe they can give you wall charger for free or something to do you right.

Go to Tesla.com and place an order for what you want or visit a show room to do it in person. If you know someone use their referral code to get something extra depending what Tesla is running. Good luck with all.

would make me always hungry, but oils might be better off for other surfaces.

this thread turned into complains more than wanting new features. I would like more progress towards FSD since i paid for it.

That does suck. I guess the more high tech cars get, the harder it is to do simple items such as tow or even car wash with blades etc. Did Tesla say how many weeks until you get your car? Hopefully you are thinking of positive items such as this happened during warranty, you got a loaner, and...

I would expect AP to not make the mistake it did but I see why since lines were not continuous but broke off for a bit and then back to normal. I agree with others, not to be used on roads with signals and merging lanes with bad markings. Glad you did not end up under the truck and used AP...

A serious question: are you more upset that you rear drive failed or that you could not drive you car per Elon's tweet?

Or OP does have a deadline that s/he must get the car buy to do their work, etc. I cant blame the OP canceling if that is the case, disappointing situation indeed. OP - Have you looked at other BEVs that you can order right from the stealerships?

Thanks for write up. I also experienced most of what you have. I agree AP, NOA, etc are getting better to mimic what decision I would have made. Majority of the time its about right, but "bronco mode" also happens on the streets, usually when car slows down, then stops and slows down again...

I would not worry about those who already place an order as price was locked during that time. Tesla would have to be crazy to do that or sleazy. Since this is not the first price increase as before it only affects orders going forward.

Just a daily driver here in Los Angeles traffic. As most of us, every now and then need to punch the pedal to go around folks or merge etc. I try to save my tires since i see it here often owners complain about tire wear and they punch at every red light.

Either can work if it’s in description of usage. I see both sides. Up to end user to check. Or as mentioned don’t silly moving your dog.

Really? I must have missed that info here. OP - yep try Tesla maybe you get lucky.

This is what i have and end up using 3-4 times a year during season change to pump all 4 tires. Gauge on it is worthless, so i bought cheap Amazon tire gauge which gives me exact tire pressure that Tesla shows. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M1H5BZP

plus 1.

Not often you hear people say their Model 3 is not fast. After a while we all get used to it. Get into any other regular car, step on the gas couple of times. Then get back to your Model 3 Perfomance, see how you feel

So if one creates any Youtube video, adds all the shortcuts to description and uploads to youtube, then they can click on those and assuming shortcuts are valid watch? This is indeed a great hack. Amazon Prime, Disney channel, etc.

So convert Tesla into Nissian Leaf or Chevy Bolt? If one wants cheaper more basic BEV, there are a handful of alternatives. It’s like removing soul from Tesla.

It is possible, thats why some tint shops wont do Tesla's windshield. If water got into those sensors, everything is possible. Hopefully if water got there, it dries off soon and all will be back to normal. good luck

I agree, since this was not done in official drag strip, perhaps distance was shorter even though they claim 400 meters which is some 7 feet shorter than Quarter Mile

It all matters and Tesla like majority of EV does well. passing speed on freeways here in Los Angeles can be fun. and 0-60ish is good for passing in left or right lane to get into opposite lane (sure, dicking move) but helps when needed.

interesting information. I posted this somewhere, my iphone went down to 89% less than a year usage. I mostly use wired charging and only when driving use wireless pad. I think new feature on iphone to charge to 80%or something will improve degradation going forward.

There very likely will be end of quarter incentives just like previously even if there allegedly more orders than Tesla delivers part quarter. Likely some referrals, supercharging deals and maybe some “discounts” on current inventory. I doubt any huge incentives as sales are going well.

well done there! Much appreciated it

This is an excellent solution. I myself bought big SSD and external enclosure. SSD do a lot better with random and multi stream writes compared to any regular USB drives. I keep a small USB drive whenever my SSD gets full, i stick it in until i get home to remove older files. What's the...

You are not the only one with that situation. My wife does not like model 3 layout and she loves SUV. After driving my car for couple of months since i did not need it, she loves it not because it is electric but because it is electric she does not have to go to gas stations. She has fear of...

Have not tried it yet, but will. Usually the issue the car has (not me) is setting cruise too high over legal posted limited, if 40mph it wont do over 45 i think.

[ I agree, i have not seen 1:1 ratio unless i am driving 45-50 no incline, no ac, no hvac, nice temps, no lights, etc. This is like with regular gas cars, it is estimated.

I bought FSD a month ago. I also had EAP but i dont feel I got anything extra yet thats worth it. As others said, advances summon is just a "party trick" quiet many videos shows errors. I am hopeful with many data points coming in, system will get better Looking back for me, i am still neutral...

good article. my iphone XS is down to 89% battery life only after 9 months according to Apple. Glad i am charging Tesla to 80% to prolong battery. 10% of daily 100% charging will do this...

you guys sure drive a lot. This is surprising that Tesla is now pushing extended warranty unlike other big brands
