    Bought a P3D- for many reasons - environmental consideration wasn't one of them

    Pilot, I'm just curious... did you read my previous post?

    Bought a P3D- for many reasons - environmental consideration wasn't one of them

    TSLA Pilot... Dang, bro... You really aren't going to win any converts yelling at and insulting people. I get the urgency, but your tactics alienate rather than bring people along with you. You win more hearts and minds with patience and love.

    Bought a P3D- for many reasons - environmental consideration wasn't one of them

    Funny. People making a step in the right direction still can't win with some people. Guess it's perfect intentions or bust. Thanks for the lecture.

    Bought a P3D- for many reasons - environmental consideration wasn't one of them

    I'm with you on this. I like clean air and all, but this wasn't a tree-huggin' move for me. I think of my P3D+ in this way... The SR+ portion is economy - fuel, cost of ownership, etc - and safety. The bump to LR AWD was for convenience and a little more road stability. The bump to...

    Supercharger - Roseville, CA - Galleria Boulevard (LIVE 21 Feb 2020, 20 V2 stalls)

    A week later, not much progress... Perhaps it's still a toss-up between this site and Lincoln as to which one gets done first.

    Model 3 Performance- 20” Tires - I have questions!

    BTW, I don't notice a whole lot of undue noise or vibration with the 20s. Granted, my P3D replaced a Mustang GT (also had 20s), but my P3D drives so much smoother.

    Model 3 Performance- 20” Tires - I have questions!

    I think the grin pasted on your face the first time you mash the pedal will make you forget the 20 inchers.

    Cool. Thanks. I figured it might be something like that, but wanted to be sure. Guess I need to spend some more time on that pfSense project I never finished.

    Enough with the Games, already.

    +1 for Fart Mode 2... Wife's gonna FLIP! Perhaps fart when the wipers wipe... or you accelerate too fast... or coal-roll attempt detected. Oh, man, there's endless potential.

    What color is your M3?

    Just had to have the red.

    Will regular AP loose features?

    AP will eventually include all of the capability of FSD, except the navigation. IOW, it will properly drive on all streets, but not navigate itself. This leaves the onus on the driver to stay in the loop.

    Rear deck cutout

    My P3D rolled off the line on 6/12. It has the cutout, but it's covered with what feels like a dense, laminated cardboard. Haven't checked for a sub yet.

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    422xxx. Delivered 6/17. Rolled off the factor floor 4 days prior to that.

    2019.15.103

    Picked up my P3D, FSD (422xxx) on 6/17. It had 15.103 - included all the features one would expect at this stage. A couple days ago, it updated to 20.4.1 and then last night to 20.4.2. Dashcam vids are H.265 (as reported by VLC). About the only thing I noticed different to 20.4.1, besides...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Wife and I took a trip to Sausalito within the trial week... The wait was worth it.

    Performance Waiting Room

    I've graduated from the "Performance Waiting Room" thread. It's been real! The scoop... Picked up the red beast a day early (today). Did the whole OCD checklist as one does when they haunt the forums long enough. Near perfect condition. Old firmware (2019.15.103) considering it rolled off...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Homelink was nixed on 5/31. If you ordered prior to that, you should insist you get the car you ordered, which includes Homelink.

    Homelink now an option

    That's a good point. I think I must have read that to mean Tesla won't give you new features added after your order, but I can definitely see how it means they can't take features away.

    Homelink now an option

    "Everyone on this forum is so quick to jump the gun."... is hyperbole. Just pointing that out. Take a deep breath. No pitch forks here. Just asking questions. No need to assume I'm assuming anything. Peace.

    Homelink now an option

    No need for hyperbole. I wouldn't call merely asking a question gun-jumping. I wouldn't have given it much thought if the change had happened before I ordered. After an order and a deposit... it's valid to ask the question whether they'd honor it, given others on this forum have much more...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Dang. I'm 17 days behind you. Same specs. It's hard to tell by the spreadsheet whether those who go even further back are still waiting or just haven't updated their info, so thanks for the heads up that you're still lying in wait.

    Homelink now an option

    Tesla removes Homelink from standard Model 3 features, now a $300 aftermarket product - Electrek Just wondering... I ordered a P3D a week ago based on a certain price and set of features. Am I to suspect features such as this to disappear between now and delivery or is this strictly for new...

    Trading the Mustang for Model 3 Perf.

    Thanks! The GT is not very fun in the rain - big reason I'm ditching it for the Tesla. Unfortunately, since it's a convertible with no roll bar (very low SAF), I could never take the thing to the track. But I've done my share of... shall we say, "spirited" driving on dry surfaces where I felt...

    Hydroplane and lifting off the accelerator

    I'm with you on that one. I've been driving a 2017 Mustang GT the past 2.5 years. The thing does NOT like wet roads - and I live in the Sacramento area where the rain is nothing like the NW. My natural response has always been neutral to slight lift on the throttle and light steer into the...

    Trading the Mustang for Model 3 Perf.

    Hello all, I just took the plunge (ordered yesterday: Model 3, performance, red, white interior, FSD). The GT has been fun, but I'm ready for a change.
