    TMC has a VERY real problem with the Marketplace!

    A lot of the negativity reads like shorts or anti-Tesla critics posing as owners. Some type of ID verification or photo requirement would go a long way to cleaning things up.

    Will My New Model 3 Be Worth The Same As A Honda Civic In 6 Years?

    The addition of Beach Buggy Racing just appreciated your car by about $14. :)

    Any Way To Play Beach Buggy 2 With A Game Controller (afraid For Tire Wear)

    The steering wheel is the BEST controller. It’s not gonna wear your tires.

    2019.20.4.1 - Beach Buggy Racing

    The workaround is right in that link. Manually adjust the brightness to what you like, then switch back to Auto.

    Need Your Help! Getting Word Out On New Marketing/sales Program

    Tesla has a manufacturing & service bottleneck. It won’t make sense for them to market to new customers until they can meet the demand. The current referral system provides the precise amount of new sales with a 2 week turnaround time. More customers would mean they have to scale even faster...

    Under what conditions would you refuse delivery?

    Is this the bar you’ve set for other cars you’ve purchased in the past?

    Almost perfect delivery

    Wow this is out of control. Who does this for any other car brand? Why do it for this car???

    Delivered but not without issues with fit and paint

    Dude let it go and enjoy your car. I know I’ll get a lot of disagrees on this comment. Do you really think any of this affects the resale value of your investment when it winds up on the used car lot? How much of your personal time are you willing to put into this? How long are you willing to...

    Under what conditions would you refuse delivery?

    Can always swing by the Starship site if you run into an issue. I hear they have an awesome set of tools.
  14. TampaRich

    Under what conditions would you refuse delivery?

    They worry about it because they choose to. 1000’s of Teslas are delivered every week with no issues. Look forward to delivery date, don’t fear it.

    Wouldn't it be nice if Tesla Mobile Service could repair rim rash?

    Has anyone checked with their local Tesla service center. I don't know if they still do this, but the Tampa service center used to keep a supply of refurbished wheels in stock and would do a wheel swap for a couple hundred bucks. They would send your old busted wheel off to a local refinisher...

    Do people need to be informed first? 6 Month part wait list?

    Anyone that spends 5 minutes on this forum knows that there’s a huge Tesla parts backlog. After 9k posts I’m surprised that OP is surprised by this.

    What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

    2015 Model S 70D for a 2019 Model 3 LR for the tech upgrade.

    New Cars DO NOT have AP3 (Hardware3!)

    Welcome first-time poster. How were they able to determine that you had HW2.5 instead of 3.0? Up until now I haven't heard of any way to tell other than by the birthdate or taking the dash apart (even for Tesla employees). Since you have it on your app, what version of software is running on...

    Let's talk Autopilot on HW 2.5 vs HW 3.0

    Didn't Elon say that all hardware would be upgraded to 3.0 for FSD customers. Everyone that’s paid for it will get it. Requires patience.

    No "Dual Motor" Lettering on M3 LR AWD?

    Took delivery of same 2 weeks ago and did come with dual motor badge. Maybe Tesla was reading your mind. ;)

    An Amusing Story of Tesla Delivery Woes

    To keep things in perspective, Tesla does 1,000s of deliveries each week with zero hiccups. Its unfortunate that readers of this forum, like OP, go into the process expecting it to be slow and convoluted. I believe Tesla gets it right more times than they get it wrong.

    Trust broken - Tesla doesn't honor what it says

    LOL thats a first. Not taking delivery because of a mistake YOU made when you placed your order. Stop wasting everyone’s time. Correction, there’s two of you.

    Gas paddle [Correction: accelerator pedal]

    The aluminum performance pedals are more slippery than the stock pedals. Is that the issue?

    Tampa Tire Repair Shop

    For reference next time, call Tesla service and they will send a truck out to do a wheel swap the same day. They take your wheel back to the shop and will fix the flat for $50. Then you just schedule an appointment to take your car in and have your old wheel put back on. In my case they couldn't...

    Who are these idiots designing future cars?

    The same idiots that designed the previous generation of electric cars and failed miserably.

    Abstract Ocean vs Taptes?

    Taptes didn't come with the advertised USB splitters shown. The seller gave me a coupon code for 99% off the splitters on Amazon. Now they're backordered until July. o_O

    Greetings from B'more

    Congrats! Just took delivery of the same specs 2 weeks ago. You’re gonna love it.

    I'm speechless, how can Tesla do this?

    Got a sealed empty padded envelop from Amazon this week. Was supposed to have an iPad case. The seller emailed me later saying that he ran out of stock. Don’t let it get to you and just order another.

    Tesla Overall Service

    There’s a lot of Teslas in California. I’m guessing thats the reason why you've had such a rough time. Hope things turn around for you.

    Please share your Ceramic Coating feedback

    I got Opticoat Pro Plus on all of my Teslas within a month of taking delivery. Its expensive but the results are worth it to me. Keeps the cars scratch-free and very clean looking. My ceramic coating guy remarked last week that black is the hardest to work on and show scratches the most. Doing...

    Have a 2016 X ap 1.0 thinking of getting a LR RWD M3 but have a kid on the way

    You’re getting a better than average trade-in offer from Tesla. I’d take them up on it. We fit 2 teenagers and a child booster seat in the back of my M3 no problem.

    No negative views in Model 3 forum?

    A lot of first-time posters with clickbatey thread titles and no evidence of even owning a Tesla have soured the community experience on this forum.

    How do I get the window sticker and bill of sale

    Why do you want the window sticker so bad anyway? Just curious.
  37. TampaRich

    How do I get the window sticker and bill of sale

    Its obvious that they’re trying to ditch yet another legacy car thing, the “window sticker”. Its synonymous with sleazy dealerships.

    Change in Tesla account - "Submit Final Payment" - Still No VIN

    Twice in the past year I’ve written a personal check for the balance owed on the car at the time of delivery. No need to pay in advance online.

    End of PRE AP Model S updates?...

    Not to belabor the point but older cars are stuck on 3G which severely limits anything dependent on online data streaming.
  41. TampaRich

    End of PRE AP Model S updates?...

    Not sure what new features you would expect for a 5 year old car. May have reached the limitation of processing power for the onboard computer. Kind of like a 5 year old iPhone.

    Delivery Date Clarification

    Hop onto Tesla online chat and give them your VIN number. They can tell you its “born on” date (the date the frame was stamped). I ordered my M3 on 5/4 and was delivered a car that was born on 5/10.

    PSA: Backing into garage when the door is already open

    Or if you pull into your driveway in your MS, garage door opens. Then your wife pulls in behind you in her M3 and closes it on your roof.
