Glad to hear you like the AWD, overnight is nice. Was there a mileage limit? Was P3D available for overnight? My test drive was P3D on the 90 fwy, amazing, not overnight but took it over 90 and it felt like nothing. I ordered mine that day.

Just got back from Bay Area. On Christmas Day, drove up from LA on hwy 5 and counted at least 20 trucks with 8 new model 3 each headed south. Good luck to those waiting, they are trying.

Great spec and price. Looks?? Idk....wtf.....I thought it was a joke too. Idk I will probably buy one. Make it prettier and I will definitely buy one. $50k for AWD, near bulletproof, yeah I probably buy one....

Nope. That looks bad. Huge length of gap. Something is not seated. Mine had local gaps, more like pinches of less than 1 inch. SC said they will fix mine at next visit.

Thanks for all your replies. This thread is sorta old. Since original post, I’ve ordered and taken delivery of a SR. My first 3 was an SR+, which had a faulty touchscreen, so I had to return it. My SR only has 220 range, when delivered on 5/30, made 5/23. I’ve yet tested the 5.6 sec time or the...

Wow! 2 things: How did you order, get made a mid-range in June 2019? Thought they stopped making them? And then there’s the no cutout! There goes the needing to move air theory... My 5/23/2019 born SR has cutout with mesh cover, so did my 4/2019 born SR+ I returned.

How far away are you to the delivery center? Stop by and ask for one. Likely they will have some. Mine didn’t come with car and my delivery advisor said “oh I got a few to give out”.

Your wife’s seat, steering wheel and mirror position same as yours? She must be as tall as you?

Haha, yes I have it on comfort setting, but the overall steering wheel diameter is smaller. The S has a normal size steering wheel. I’m accustomed to luxury car steering effort! Took my parents in the P90D for ride in ludicrous mode. Launched it, they both said “oh no, this is no good, waay...

I rather like the S, seating position and overall driving effort. Model 3 is sporty, low seat position and heavy steering effort. I’m getting old and lazy, so the S not a bad choice for me. I might be looking into buying an S in the future maybe. Can’t wait to see what the refresh S looks like!

That’s what my SR had to pay for autopilot prior to delivery. $3000. Since you’re a SR+ after delivery, sounds about right. SR+ with standard AP at 39500 was a good deal. I almost bought when SR+ first came out at 37000-37500 without AP, until I took test drive and realized I wanted AP.

One thing I noticed not mentioned above is the normal size steering wheel on the S vs the tiny Indy car sized model 3 steering wheel. Gosh model 3 has a tiny wheel! Takes so much effort to steer, vs on model S. Going from a 3 to a S, it feels like a minivan at first. My current loaner P90D...

Ok finally they got me a loaner today. ‘16 S P90D. It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t an Enterprise, has dealer plates on it. Poor model S, such a nice car, being a loaner it’s well worn. 43K on it, scratches on hood, worse shape than my 100k Toyota. My new model 3 needs battery pack replacement and it...

I only got $100 per day, it barely covers home to office for me. It may be better than loaner for you, but not me. I prefer the independence of not waiting for Uber, which for Uber black takes over 10minutes when I tried it. Hard to pick up kids, grocery shopping after work, on Uber.

Thanks, anyone else? In California maybe?

Was offered $500 accessories credit, which I didn’t say yes or no. I did ask for FSD to be added, as it would make my car more valuable upon resale. Josh said he would ask and get back to me on the request. As for loaners, I’m told Tesla is discontinuing Tesla loaner cars as of now. I...

hey everyone Was just told by Pasadena store manager Josh, that Tesla service center no longer provides Tesla loaners or any loaners. Is this true for the rest of the country? Do some of you have loaners right now? I was told all they can provide is Uber vouchers. If you all haven’t read...

Yeah just got a call from Josh, manager at Pasadena Tesla store and was told Tesla secenter no longer provides Tesla loaners. I’m going to post a new thread on this topic- lets see if this is true across USA.

So I called the Pasadena store and asked to speak with whoever my owner advisor is, got a Josh,1st time talking to him, and he said he’ll get me loaner Tesla from the Burbank location and talk to Nick. Still waiting. What would you do OCR1?

I was told by Nick the Burbank service advisor that they had no loaner cars available. Enterprise rental car has office at Burbank dealership/service center location, but was told they are undergoing contact negotiations, thus no rental available right now. Best they can do is give me Uber...

Why not? Is a model 3 with a repacement battery pack not as good as a new one from factory? What do I need to know or watch out for here? I don’t expect to be comp’d, as a long term TSLA stock owner, I’m not looking to screw over them company. Just want what I paid for, a functioning Model 3...

Ask your sales advisor or call the store or delivery center. I got mine in 2 weeks newly built and I’m in Cali.

Wow I’m totally surprised that Tesla wouldn’t just apply it to your account. It’s not worth much to them, especially since it’s got 6 month use limit. And a car was sold, so.... ask your sales advisor

I did try to get Tesla service center to replace or repair my first model 3 with the faulty touchscreen. Detailed in the original posting, day 6 car was supposedly repaired with forced software update at service center. It didn’t fix the problem. I returned to same service center on day 7...

Yes I did. Returned on 4/26, received funds back to bank and credit card on 5/30. Got my 2nd model 3 on same day and now that car is in the service center now! Tesla Model 3 #2 had 197 miles on it and quit on me on the freeway Sunday, had to get it towed. WTF! I have the worst luck with...

Got my refund! Returned on 4/26/2019, saw credit back on bank and credit card on 5/30/2019. Finally! It toook over 30 days, but under 45 days. I did chat and email with Tesla suppport, as well as asking for my delivery advisor and sales advisor to help find my refund status on a weekly basis. I...

“Submit final payment” is actually “submit final payment details”, doesn't mean they want 100% paid right now. It can also mean fill out the details on how much is financed and which institution (bank). That’s needed for Tesla to generate MVPA. (Triggering the next step)

Hey EV-CPO Thanks for running the site EV-CPO. I use it to gage my wait times because I have nothing better to do, while I read these forums. Also if there’s my configuration listed on the online inventory and it’s local, was going to let my sales advisor know to match me to that available car...

Curious OCR1 which so cal delivery location did you use? They allowed you to inspect your car prior to signing all paperwork and final payment? I’ve been to Burbank and Marina del Rey deliveries, both always ask for signature prior to showing you the car. I agree they should allow you to...

Ok I called again today since it’s been over 2 weeks, the my Tesla account is asking me to pay remaining balance of the car. I did and I then called the store. This time I got my salesman, he didn’t know about my delivery status, looked into it and said my car was just made 5/25 and it’s at...

Same story here. Asked to pay remaining balance with no VIN assigned yet. I paid and a few days later, after reading SuperW2 post, I also called. I got my sales advisor and he didn’t know the status, but looked it up and said, “yeah you have a VIN assigned, car born on 5/25 and it’s at...

As long as you have charger planned along your trip. Go for it! There’s no break in, enjoy it!

Yes, still no aero wheel SR+ in inventory, according to the Pasadena store advisor I spoke with. Makes me wonder whats going on up in Fremont factory at 900 model 3 per products per day, who are they making for today? Europe or Asia or North America? Dammit! Make mine already!!! :confused:

You looking for M3 with aero? I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks now in LA area too. Called store last week and they said no aero wheels SR+ locally, should be more in a week or 2. I’m going to call them today.

I tried to do an exchange SR+ for SR+, my 1st one had a defective touchscreen. They had it in inventory stock, at that exact location, but after some thought they would not do it. Told me I can order and pay for another one, take delivery that day, and needed to wait on refund on 1st return...

Hey Reeler, have you received your refund yet?

I had similar situation with my 1st model 3. Search for topic “Had a SR+ for 7 days, returned it!”

Should be +$1500. Can anyone confirm?

Good luck buddy. Let us know when you finally received your refund. I’ll gage my refund based on yours. I’ve already ordered my replacement model 3, maybe saved from the $400 increase.

Why didn’t you return it at Marina del Rey, if you’re in Los Angeles? They’re probably equally unhelpful in providing refund status. I tried. That’s where I returned mine, no refund yet. The returned model 3 has been parked at their Hawthorn lot for almost 3 weeks. When I chatted with Tesla...

OP here with an update: No refund yet. The car was returned on 4/26 at MDR location where it was originally delivered per return instructions. I went back on 5/8 to ask about refund status and they have no idea, told me to call or email or chat with Tesla financial online. I couldn’t wait...

Well, have you considered just returning it? You are still within the 7 day period. I returned my SR+ for touchscreen malfunction on day 7.

My coworker ordered a red SR 3 weeks ago and got it in less than 2 weeks. We’re in Southern California so that could mean more inventory. Yes the website did say 6-8 weeks originally as well.

Hopefully they will be refunding the entire 100% of the cost. I haven’t received anything refund yet. I’m expecting 100% back soon, as I do plan to order another M3. I can’t believe some folks think my screen was just in night mode dim, when I took the pic. No photo that was the brightness...

Really?! Did you read the entire post? The attach photo was taken indoor garage with the brightness turned up to 100%. Yes I knew about Sheryl Crow’s tweet exchange with Elon. My M3 screen issue wasn’t as simple as that. Thank you for sharing. My car had the latest and the 2nd latest...

Now that SRs have actually delivered as software limited SR+s: SR owners, tell us about your car! Does it now show 220 miles fully charged? Has anyone ran it down to 0 miles? What happens? Do your SR have Autopilot? Was it free or more? How much? (My delivery advisor mentioned SR do have...

SR = Standard Range , 220 miles SR+ = Standard Range + , 240 miles

Looks really nice! I can help it, but when I see a car looking like that, I expecting to hear excessively loud exhaust. :)

Haha just woke up and read all the supportive and funny replies! Thanks guys. I do have another car, so I won’t be Ubering for 2 months. Nobody NEEDS a Tesla M3, it’s just a really nice tech car. I commute 2 hours a day in LA terrible traffic so having a M3 with AP does decrease my stress level...

@reheat, I’ve read that- 1 post said used to happen daily, most said it went away with update. Mine had the latest update.
