I had something very similar happen.... MCU had red flags with its behavior and had been pointed out to Tesla by the cars previous owner (I know this because he gave me his service history). The MCU lasted another 10K miles or so (after I bought it) and completely crashed with a blank screen...

At least most of you all have service centers... try getting service from only 1 dedicated ranger for the entire state of New Mexico. My MCU has been dead now for over a month. They were supposed to fix it last week, but the ranger called me in the morning and said that he wouldn't be able to...

I totally agree with you... I've only checked it about 3 times since I noticed it stopped taking a charge, but recognize that everytime I check it wakes up and drains more. The car seems to be going into a deep sleep, since everytime I've checked it the dashboard screen reboots before it shows...

Thanks... I remember seeing this, but forgot about it until now. I hope whatever system is telling the battery to go into 'low power consumption' mode is still operating... I think it is, but the car is far from fully functional.

I know it is bad to run the battery down to nothing, but when the car BMS is working well I assume that is basically impossible to do without really trying. Unfortunately I'm dealing with a fried MCU, which lets the car work in a very limited state. Its been over 3 weeks, and when Tesla...

For what its worth, I traded in my 2012 Leaf for a new Model 3.... I loved my Leaf, but mainly because of its 'EV-ness'. It was quick, safe, reliable, and cheap to commute with (all why I love EV's). It led me to buy a used Model S, and now a new Model 3, so I'll love it for that. I was not...

Yeah Im very pleased with how it turned out. I’m in Albuquerque NM, so the nearest SC is in Denver. I’ll make final payment this morning and the delivery advisor said he’d get it on a delivery truck headed to my doorstep ASAP.

Just to share my experience—I ordered an AWD M3 last Thursday post-announcement, didn’t hear from Tesla so called them Sunday just to check in. They said “oh you already have a VIN” (it still isn’t reflected in my account), and emailed it to me. The VIN is a ‘18 build, so I expected to ask for a...

Yeah no thanks, I’d pass on that too

Just curious, did they offer you any discount or other concession for the 2018 model?

I was matched with a 2018 build too (ordered on Thursday after the announcement). Would love to know if they are throwing in any upgrades or supercharging credit...

Yep... sorry, but even the $35k option has the glass roof. That is probably a net loss to Tesla every time they sell one, but it’s not cost effective from an assembly standpoint to replace the glass with something else. I imagine this is the same situation with the power folding mirrors, however...

I haven't seen anywhere definitive that the new Model 3's have HW3 when they roll out of the factory, but I also see things that suggest they do... Does anyone know for sure? I have the FSD upgrade, so I know when they DO officially have it, I can get the CPU swapped out, but I was just...

Beautiful car... Yeah I waivered a bit about whether on not to spring for the extra $5K for the FSD features. I know the criticism of NoA and summon in its current state, and feel that the current capabilities probably isn't worth $5K, but I also figure it will continue to get better and ensure...

I went with Black on Black... I really don’t love any of the other colors that much, so figured I would save a few $k and put that toward the FSD option. My brain knows it’s a bad investment but my heart won out this time. My wife drives an older Model S, and it is such a phenomenal piece of...

I bought a car tonight

I’ve been trying to time my purchase over the last few months, and I think it’s now the best time. Always wanted a LR AWD with EAP, but was planning on ordering FSD off menu. Today my configuration is $3k less, and at least I should have a few weeks before they lower the price again....
