    Don't take your hands off the wheel

    I envision the smart lane drift asset to be similar to how the distance setting for follow works. You could adjust it between say, none, slight, extreme. This would then also say, drive the car more towards the left line if you were in the far left lane, or the right if in the far right. I...

    Don't take your hands off the wheel

    100% agree. Along with this they need adaptive in lane drifting to defensively drift towards one side of a lane or the other to preemptively put as much distance between another vehicle when that vehicle is drifting towards the lane line. I notice this when going around curves. The Tesla wants...

    I WANT MY MTV - or at least my premium connectivity package

    I tried a basic function that I have had for the past year in my bolt using carplay. I could easily ask Siri to change directions using voice commands on the fly. Sometimes on my commute I want to check the time for stopping at Starbucks or the bagel shop. So I can verbally ask for directions...

    Don't take your hands off the wheel

    I'm with you on this. I drive a good 60 miles through Silicon Valley on 680, 880,17. In the carpool lane there are cement dividers and there were a few parts that I got a little nervous. Only first drive for me this morning, so I'll keep giving it a try, but I'm not sure I feel less stressed or...

    I WANT MY MTV - or at least my premium connectivity package

    I think they should name it differently, instead of "Partial Premium" it should be "Standard" calling it partial premium is rather disingenuous and confusing, because it's not premium. Ever other car out there that anyone new to Tesla is going to go on is something more like Standard, Premium...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Update, got the car this past Saturday. Overall amazing. Driving it is incredible. A few factory stickers left on various parts of the car, no big deal. 3 minor issues. Passenger side of the rear wing lifted off car slightly. A drop of glue on the rear roof window, drivers side and the chrome...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Update: Everything is set for tomorrow delivery at home. Have been assured I can have as much time as I need with the delivery specialist. Now just waiting on bank to make the check. Hopefully they will come through, otherwise it'll have to wait till Monday.

    Performance Waiting Room

    I'd take that car for a savings of a few grand. I'd ask for more that $3k off though, see how much they will give you. Technically with that many miles its used, so they should absorb the depreciation. But if you "NEED" it to be brand new, I can understand that.

    Missing EAP - "Included" with Order

    Gotcha, yeah I see now the other responses. I ordered May 1st. Odd that it wasn't there though.

    Missing EAP - "Included" with Order

    You do not have autopilot listed on your purchase agreement. My screens clearly list Autopilot with no charge and FSD with the charged upgrade price.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Absolutely! To the best of my recollection my story/order of events went like this: Placed order online May 1st Received text May 7th saying delivery tentatively set for May 8th Received email May 7th about still needing to complete parts of my online profile (This was related to my trade in...

    Performance Waiting Room

    This doesn't make sense to me, I think it's more about location. I ordered May 1st, red/white P3D FSD, which is technically also custom and got delivery info May7th, I'm picking up this Saturday as I wasn't able to make time during the week. But it was 7 days for Tesla to try and schedule...

    Just received my P3D, can anyone assess if I should bring the car back?

    Thanks for the report. I get my car Saturday. Good to know about this.

    Same boat as you, I ordered May 1st, 7 days later text and they wanted to bring car following day. I called and they were happy to reschedule for Saturday.

    Sorry to hear that, wish I could give you my delivery for tomorrow, I need to push mine back to Saturday, too busy to deal with delivery till the weekend. Trying to figure out how to reschedule, rep from dealer said Tesla will call me.

    I got pre-approved before placing my order through CU. When I placed my order online, as sales specialist told me to do, I entered all the information about my credit union under payment. Got delivery text this morning.

    For Rocklin, CA deliveries - front license plate holder already installed ?

    Curious about this as well. Had a Mazda RX7 for 10 years. No front plate. Got pulled over once and hassled about it but not ticket. You are supposed to have 2 plates in CA. On my daily commute through Silicon Valley I see at least 10 Tesla’s of all models. Have not seen a single one with front...

    Patelco. The only section on the online info area that is missing the check mark is the trade in part. Everything else, including payment has a check and is actually locked now and I can’t change it. Will contact sales Monday as email to delivery specialist says they are out of office...

    Got email from Senior Delivery Experience Specialist that my profile is incomplete. But everything is entered as far as I can tell. Trade says pending. But I figure that makes sense as I won’t trade till the car is ready? Anyone have experience with this? I’m financing through a CU but got...

    Trade In Process

    Ordered 5/1. Trading 2014 Buick Enclave. Enter details into Teslas online order form link my sales person had emailed me. Tesla offered $16k. I had gone to Carmax first. They offered $17. I included pic of Carmax quote in package of pictures requested by Tesla per sales person instructions...

    Tesla rolling out new safety features

    Well when I get my 3 in a few weeks I'll be putting 15-20 hours a week on it over 600 miles in all conditions, mostly highway using AEP and FSD (reason I'm getting the car) so I'll see how all this works. But I've been paying more attention to how I drive and I constantly make minor and micro...

    Tesla rolling out new safety features

    Yes, and again, I don't put my blinker on when I move over and often cross shoulder line to give way to motorcycle in stop and go traffic. Sometimes I even do this when going 60mph and the bike still wants to zoom past traffic. But guess I'll find out.

    Tesla rolling out new safety features

    Hrm... daily in my commute I will pull to the side and sometimes into the shoulder to give motor cycles more room to pass. This worries me. Also what about a car drifting towards me that I need to swerve out of my lane to avoid.

    When to buy?

    Have to take delivery before June 30th to get $3750 fed tax. Price of FSD goes up May 10th. All new now are 3.0 FSD and all 2.0 will get free upgrade I think. I’d imagine next big push won’t be till the Y which is 2 years away? I think they are more focused on making manufacturing streamlined...

    LR AWD with AP or SR+ with FSD

    I ordered my car on the 1st. Rep at Tesla dealer said they were told price on FSD goes up $1,000-$2,000 May 10th. So from $5k currently to $6 or $7k. EAP stays same as free included on car.

    LR AWD with AP or SR+ with FSD

    I think you have a solid plan and is what I would do if I were in your shoes. If you are considering FSD, know that the price will go up $1000-$2000 more on May 10th. I still think it's a toss up as to getting it or not. Maybe it will make your car hold more value in the long run, maybe not.

    Placed order today 5/1/2019 P3D Red/White/FSD I drive past the Fremont plant area on my commute. I saw 5 trucks total today driving around loaded with M3 cars. No red, 3 white, everything else mostly black and grey, maybe 6-8 blue. Not a single white interior that I could make out. All had...

    BMW I3 and Chevy Bolt versus the M3

    We got the other half of the $7500 come tax time on our Bolt lease... but its a credit, so if you don't owe enough taxes to make use of it, then it doesn't help.

    [FAKE] Ride-share company purchases Times-Square Billboard Complaining about 1.5yr Repair Times

    I did some further checking and the image with the billboards is a “fake” it’s a rendering by the mysterious company (credited as such in 3 news articles I found). The company does not seem to actually exist. Trying to search for anything meaningful simply serves up a massive deluge of obscure...

    BMW I3 and Chevy Bolt versus the M3

    Currently own a bolt. Have had it for just over a year. Have put almost 20,000 miles on it. Commute in it 2-3 hours a day. Have no complaints. Is zippy. Great range. I find the seats comfortable. Easy to maneuver. Apple car play is great. It’s exactly what I expected it to be. Had a Nissan Leaf...

    [FAKE] Ride-share company purchases Times-Square Billboard Complaining about 1.5yr Repair Times

    With this being from a Chinese company, when Tesla is looking to break into the Chinese market, it stinks of economic/social espionage.

    LR AWD with AP or SR+ with FSD

    SR and SR+ are competitive with Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt. Features and performance are all about the same. So you have to put your head in that space. The LR AWD and P3D are up in the BMW M3, Audi A4, Mercedes AMG CL class of car. So consider what level of car is comfortable for you. If you...

    Model 3 Pricing

    I'm planning to buy one in June as well. Take note though, you have to actually take delivery of the car prior to June 30th. So you need to order with enough time to actually get the car. If you are not in California, it could take longer. There are threads on here with people still waiting. So...

    LR AWD with AP or SR+ with FSD

    Here are my thoughts for you, along with some of my personal history to give you perspective and since you are new to EV's: We have owned a Nissan Leaf for 3 years and now a Chevy Bolt for about 15 months. Family of 4, young kids. EV was originally for wife to commute to work, her distance was...

    LR AWD with AP or SR+ with FSD

    Thanks!!! I was surprised when he told me 2 weeks. I even went back, this past Monday to get full out the door prices for both the AWD and P3D configurations and to ask about inventory. I told him I could actually order in May and he said, naw, June 1st is fine. Ill check the threads about vin's...

    LR AWD with AP or SR+ with FSD

    Sorry yes, I meant EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) that is now standard on the new configurations and FSD (Full Self Driving) that is $5000 upgrade. I was planning on AWD so when they showed me to RWD version I didn't pay attention to if that included the tech or not.

    LR AWD with AP or SR+ with FSD

    The Tesla rep told me that you have to actually take delivery of the vehicle by June 30th to qualify for the $3750 tax credit. If you order in June but don't get the car till July, it'll be half the credit. My plan (unless I want to risk loosing the credit but go for a end of quarter deal) was...

    Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

    This is just jaw dropping! I'll be getting my P3D in June. Would love to do this. Maybe slightly different red. Mind if I bite your style? Haha! I'm in Nor-cal. Can you PM me the shop name? I'd bring the car to LA to do this to be sure it would turn out like yours. Question: Does this have to...
