    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I feel like a Tesla stalker. I'm expecting a restraining order any day now

    Crap... I was hoping that meant it was actually at the service center and wasn't still sitting on the back of train

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thats what mine looked like this morning. I knew I saw it there last week so I kept checking the page today. I was never notified that it was added, it just showed up. My pick up date is supposed to March 2 so I'll be it will show up a little after getting the VIN

    I would be so damn tempted to make that roadtrip. :D

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Mine disappeared this morning then reappeared with the updated purchase price and a -$129 balance. I was hoping the loan agreement would give me insight into my new negative balance, but it did not.

    I didn't know they would upload the Lending Agreement there. I just noticed it there one day last week and I reviewed it so I would be ready to sign and go. I was really pleased with the terms and I didn't see anything unusual. My new loan agreement now shows 15 miles on my car though.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    There is a -$129 under my amount due now too. Maybe use it towards the all weather floor mats I was going to buy. Not sure how this negative balance works, but thanks for working on Sunday, Yaron (that's the name on my paperwork) EDIT: LOL I just looked up Yaron Klein... I bet they...

    My new lending agreement was just uploaded to my Account.... I know this because I have been obsessively refreshing the account all morning :D My pickup date has remained the same... for now

    This is now the image in my account page... Guess they saved $1k by keeping the wheels

    I haven't received any communication, but my account page is now missing some of the previously completed steps.

    I was in Tesla Manage Account page remission.... Now I'm back to checking it too much hoping for an updated statement. Just when I thought I was free, they pulled me back in

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The price listed on my sales form yesterday was just over $46K. I was getting ready to move money for taxes so I checked it yesterday. Today the LR price dropped to ~$45K. Also it gave me my payment estimate which dropped $15 mo

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just checked and my Loan Agreement document is gone. Hopefully its getting updated to the lower price. I'll take it, but I would almost let them keep the $1k if I could pick it up early :D I have a feeling they are about to bump my back up date back. :( Overall though, I knew it would take...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I don't know what the secrets could be. I financed through Tesla and completed all the paperwork the same day I put down my $100. I didn't think connecting the Wallcharger really made a difference. I mostly thought it was strange that the charger connected to Tesla. Maybe it was just...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My router went out earlier today and I had to replace it which meant reconnecting all the devices in the house and garage to WiFi. When I was reconnecting the Tesla Wallcharger I noticed I can see how many volts its getting in real time. I thought this was super cool then I noticed it said it...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I feel like it will stay in Chill mode most of the time. My wife loved the acceleration in the SR when we drove it. The fastest car she has driven was my 350z, which is not a fast car just faster than most. She actually fell in love with it as soon as she saw that she could make it fart. Her...

    That sucks... but at least its not too far back. I'm anticipating a text any day telling me to push back my delivery date

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I saw a video where you can purchase it and then get 48 hours to return it. That seems pretty tempting. I'm sure I will have to give it a try and see if I want to keep it.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My friend just bought a ZL1 Camaro... We already have a race scheduled. Its not really fair since he bought the (almost) most power you can get from Chevy and it cost significantly more than the M3. But I want him to experience what electric cars have to offer. I think its going to change his...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I wanted a Tacoma when I bought my Tucson... The used ones are the same price as a new one. I ultimately gave up. I almost bought a Y but I didn't think it was worth the extra 5K -6K for me. I can but an older truck for less than 5K and use it when I need it. My first degree was in...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm curious what made you guys choose/order the Tesla Model 3. I didn't choose the car because it was 'Green', I have a lexus ct200h which averages ~48mpg and cost me about $7 week to fill up. The Tesla is not going to save me money. I also had a 350z that I loved, but sold a couple of years...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This is anecdotal, but my final pick up date is 5 weeks from the date I ordered. On my order they gave me a 5-9 week estimate so it ended up being pretty accurate. My final pick up date also falls right in the middle of the updated estimated dates they put on my account. Still not sure what...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I still have not talked to anyone from Tesla or had a test drive from them. There was a used 2018 Tesla Model 3 SR at the VW dealer when I was looking for a new car a couple of years ago. I drove it and fell in love immediately. Then they decided not to sell it. I think the manager actually...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I've always thought I had a lot of patience, I believe I was wrong about that now. My time in the military pretty much only taught me "hurry up and wait". At this point I've already driven my new car 1000 miles in my head. I would still rather wait on this car than go to a dealer. I wish...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I installed a Tesla Wallcharger last weekend (or the weekend before ??) I'm losing track of time with a pandemic and this polar vortex. Your basement shop sounds like a fun project. I don't have a basement but I've been thinking about make a spot in the backyard for a shop building.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just cleared half of my drive way so I can at least get one car out. I've been working at home all this week thanks to the snow, so that has made the wait feel even longer.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Good News for half the country... the sun is out here and it feels like a whole new week now. Has anyone figured out a better way to pass this Tesla wait time than buying stuff, checking the account multiple times a day, or watching these threads in their spare time? The wait is making me...

    Model 3 Tan Interior

    I saw this interior kit while shopping for a car I haven't even picked up yet. I was just curious what was available. I kinda like the red vegan leather option, but I don't want to risk messing the most comfortable car seat I have ever sat in. Tesla Model 3 Seat Upgrade Interior Kit -...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Good to know. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather and cleaner drive too. I was dumb enough to start my insurance on Monday because I thought I there was a chance of picking it up early and week wouldn't be that big of a deal. Probably going to have to call the insurance folks again and...

    Glad you survived the vortex. I was outside yesterday and it felt nice. Going to be 60 by Monday. We will experience an 80 degree temp swing in a week. Looking forward to hearing how far back you get moved. I'm sure my delay will be similar :(

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    So do we. I calculated what I assumed would be sales tax on my last car but I was way off. Turns out its almost 7% for a State Tax , then a county Tax, a city tax (depending on the city in the county), a special tax on electric cars ($200) , and potentially a luxury tax.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think the staggered setup looks really cool and I like the look of concave wheels. I feel like I need 2 Teslas, 1 to mod and 1 to daily drive. Since I'm making this my main driver I've been focusing more on making it mine while maintaining the range. Engineering Explained had a great video...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I wanted the performance, but I also want different wheels, springs, and trunk lip. On the fence about the front lip. I think the brake upgrade is pretty nice on the performance. It seems like you do get $10K in upgrades with the performance. I'm sure you could sell all the parts you take off...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm really tempted ... fighting the urge. I had new documents added to my Tesla account. Turns out it was just my loan agreement. Extremely happy with the loan terms. I've lived most of my life not financing cars, but in my opinion it doesn't make cents to not utilize these low rates. I'm...

    I've watched the FSD videos and it is so tempting. I'm amazed at how good it seems to be in beta. Gives me hope for the future. I've actually started looking at wrecked Model 3s to begin a planning to make my 1950 Mercury fully electric

    I did that too.. Its sounds so weird, but I just want to get my car home so I can plug it in to my new charger. I feel kinda guilty about that because so many people around me are without power.

    You may need to do the youtube camping in the Tesla Service Center parking lot video. I have a camp stove but I don't want to burn the house down. I hope they can keep your gas on and get the power situation stabilized. At least you can camp in the Tesla for heat

    We are having "scheduled power outages". I feel very lucky because my heat is through a gas furnace. I'm still screwed when the power goes out, but I have a gas fireplace that I never use. I've been running it the last few days and I'm shocked at how well it actually works . I'm ready for...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm worried about that last minute call asking me to delay the pick up, but all in all that is minor compared to the folks in Texas and people without power around me. My Dad was an Electrical Engineer for a major power company. He complained about the Texas power grid and deregulations for...
