    My delivery..

    Took delivery of mine today, came with one of each phone cable. I was told I had to buy another one of the iphone cords off the tesla website and install it myself. It's 14 bucks. But they gave me a Model 3 die cast car as a gift in red, my color, so all is good!

    Process

    +1 on this: my documents to sign came thru in an email, July 11, my delivery is July 14. Decided to bring a cashier's check, got nervous about ACH not clearing in time.

    27 hours from delivery and I don't have a final balance due yet!

    I got my final amount late in the day July 11, but I decided against ACH and got a cashier's check for the amount. My ISA said either ACH or cashier's check. I got nervous that I wouldn't have time for funds to transfer for my delivery tomorrow, so I am bringing the check. Now I am afraid to...

    ACH vs. Cashier's Check

    I decided to go with a cashier's check as my ACH tab only showed up late last night. Don't want to take a chance that it takes 3 business days to go thru or anything that might delay getting the car on Saturday. Have the check, going to sleep with it until then to keep it safe :)

    ACH vs. Cashier's Check

    I'm scheduled to pick up my Red Model 3 this Saturday, and wondered if anyone had trouble using ACH to pay. The ACH button has not shown up in my account yet, and the ISA says it will "a few days before delivery". But I am worried that if it shows up too close to Saturday, the transaction...

    NEMA 14-50 8 gauge wire

    Just to those asking why am I trying to save money on the wire, that is not the issue. my electrician recommended #8, not #6 wire, and I don't know anything about electricity so I was asking for advice. This is not a money issue, especially if it is just 30 bucks, just looking for why he would...

    NEMA 14-50 8 gauge wire

    eprosenx: Thanks for your detailed analysis. To some degree this is still all French to me, but your last comment I understand! The electrician told me he would run the wire in conduit. I am thinking of going with him, as he has wired my whole house, upgraded my panel and wired two outside...

    NEMA 14-50 8 gauge wire

    I'll be using the 2nd generation adapter, as I think that is what comes standard with the car, which I take delivery on July 14th. I am not trying to be cheap, I am just following what this electrician said. I showed him the Tesla install guide, and he gave me the feedback/advice in my first...

    NEMA 14-50 8 gauge wire

    My electrician who has done lots of other work at my house says to install the Nema 14-50 with 8 gauge wire, not 6 gauge like the Tesla site says. I know nothing about electricity other than it can kill you. Is this ok? He said 6 gauge is for runs of over 150 feet or something like that. The...

    Finance Rates - June/July 2018

    Tesla ISA told me their rates start at 3.74%. I went with BofA in California, got 3.99%. I have a 755 credit score but a ding on my credit with a past loan settled for less than full amount. I had to take a hit with interest rate because of that. 60 months

    Tent production, any worries about build quality?

    It's not the tent at all that seems concerning, is that the critics are saying the line is slapdash and held together with paper clips and duct tape. I don't know anything about manufacturing so I can't read anything into it on my own. The proof will be in what comes off the line, and that...

    Tent production, any worries about build quality?

    Been reading negative reviews of the tent assembly line, some analysts saying it is "madness" and that build quality will be terrible. Anyone have a recent car that seemed shoddy? I'm chalking it up to shorts panicking but is anyone worried about different quality from a Model 3 built...

    Can I order even if I passed the config invite the first time?

    I got an invite in April to config the car and I passed, waiting for 35K standard range battery. Now I have relooked at my finances and I can afford the long range M3. Can I just config and get back in my spot? Or do I get placed back in line and have to get a new invite all over again? Thanks

    Got the email to order: ? on battery-choice regret

    Thanks guys: It's mostly that the payments for the LR battery will be a stretch every month, I think or I fear, while the payments for the SR are the same as I paid for my last car, and I made those without breaking a sweat. I would be eligible for the tax credit, I usually owe as it is tough to...
