That's my combo. It's good to see there are some out in the wild.

The entire turn signal section physically depresses like a button. Capacitive sensing on each arrow determines direction.

SG/black ordered ~1.5 hours after start. No VIN. EDD June 13-June 30.

Elon ended the practice of the EoQ blitz in late 2022. There's been no indication if it's been reimplemented but the reasoning at the time was to reduce costs.

"Ioniq 5N - The glam porn EV"

Ok, that makes a lot more sense than being a Ford rep.

You told a Ford rep the MachE is a piece of junk and he said you were correct? Or was it just to 1) and 2)?

That 5% difference probably doesn't matter, right? Right?

MYP has been staggered. M3P didn't stagger at all until this year.

I got EDD pushed back as well. I've seen posts describing getting a Tesla is the closest thing to Christmas for adults. My first memories of Christmas presents are getting mail in certificates for Star Wars toys to be shipped later in the spring. So yeah, this is Christmas.

No tailpipe.

If you or Tesla service figures out the source of the dash rattle, then please pass it along.

I got to sit in an M3P after test driving a highland today. The seats are real and they are spectacular. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/iowa-deliveries-buying-process.326793/#post-8280407

FWIW, they have an SG/white M3P at Urbandale (no test drives). I have one on order but I went in to test drive the highland since it's pretty much the same car but with a little less right foot fun. I sat in the M3P seats after the LR test drive and the difference is stark. They are more...

It's just to the right of the brake pedal.

Blood alcohol content 3x legal limit.

FSD engaged No stalks are within my grasp I do not need them

I scheduled a demo drive (M3LR) just so I can ask them M3P EDD questions in person.

The car has also maintained its MSRP price or perhaps lower if accounting for inflation. It is clearly better in many other ways than range for its price point compared to previous years and that firmly qualifies it as forward progress.

I'd rather have 292 comfortable miles than 310 miles of NVH and unventilated seats.

Majority of poster sentiment was that it'd be impossible that it would come in under $60-$65k MSRP. I think unrealistic expectations are the cause of both. Tesla fixed or mitigated all the criticisms of the previous M3P that made it come up short in the sport sedan market relative to...

It really is best to turn off the OCD until you get the VIN assignment notification.

Only thing I've seen is that the brakes did not change, only the material of the pads.

Well, at least you guys aren't talking about Hyundai and Porsche anymore. Still comparing to cars >$15k in MSRP for some strange reason. Seriously, it would be sportsmanlike to always let the Hellcat win. After all, they have to drive a Chrysler product every day.

Seems like no and if close, not for the same amount of money:

Likely not. Delays have been attributed to bureaucracy with NHSTA and EPA. From what I can tell, layoffs were mostly non-critical path employees. China is also delayed to 3rd quarter for the same reasons.

This is also the same case in Iowa. As I understand the process now, you either: Pay for the vehicle sight unseen while it is out of state. It is then delivered to a service center in your state for pickup. or Travel to an out of state service center to inspect the vehicle before making a...

If it's the same reviewers who in their 5N reviews gush about "vroom vroom" noises and sim-shifts, it's understandable how you'd get there.

What in hell is going on in the backseat?

I think we're on the brink of a big week of new VIN assignments and deliveries because of EPA/NHSTA approval delay. Give it day or two.

My earlier comment about white interiors had a fair amount of black interior saltiness.

Tesla uses EPA calculations for the main UI page range estimate. Maybe the firmware update and this delay is related to that since EPA did change the range calculation used for advertised ratings.

In a reddit thread: luman17 reported a delivery date of 5/13 but it got delayed to 5/18 because of a firmware update for all M3Ps. I'd be pleasantly surprised if plzdelivercar gets his today.

White is a good interior color for cars you only drive on Sunday.

So it was a firmware update that can't be done OTA.

I'm very tempted to do a full body matte PPF. I think I watched too many Wam Bam Teslacam videos of people keying Teslas.

Can you please provide the link to that discussion.

I am firmly in the "don't make EVs sound like fart cars" camp. With that said, it's perfectly fine to have it as an option if it sells more cars. If Tesla wants to add more stuff that uses their speaker system, then please implement active road noise cancellation on the 3/Y platform.

Fleming seems to point to the suspension, seats, and "different gearing" as causing the difference in sensation, not a difference in acceleration. The transmission is the same between all 3's (9.03:1) so that just leaves suspension and seats. He mentions the front end doesn't tip up when...

My EDD got moved up 5 days to 5/29-6/26. Cruel to tease me with the prospect of driving off the lot in 2.5 weeks.

Sure seems like a result of laying off all your marketing people rather than implementing a clandestine agenda.

No more parking brake sticking to the rotor?

I don't see it on this form but Tsla Chan is claiming 3rd quarter customer deliveries in China.

CT is the "we're gonna need a bigger boat" boat.

12:27pm CST order confirmation email.

Still June 4 - June 30 here. RN12153. Ordered 1.5 hours after they opened them up.

Congrats on the CT! 1st one in Iowa?

What's the latest on where you need to pick up a new Tesla? I saw a reddit post a year or two ago that they are (allegedly) delivering to Des Moines as long as you have your trade-in paperwork completed/exchanged and aren't doing Tesla financing. Is this the case or do we still have to drive to...
