    20” rims indestructible

    brahs,, I just want to comment on, in contrast to what everyone can’t stop complaining about, the amazing durability I have experienced from my 20” rims and Michelin pilot sports. So many times I have blasted over potholes and speed bump like road imperfections with 3 digits on the speedometer...

    Doing 180s in the model 3 performance

    I come from driving a RWD car -- I'm a completely ignorant individual and sometimes don't want to do three point turns. My old solution was to do a 180 with no VCS. Has anyone done this in the model 3? Do you have to be in track mode? I'm afraid the front wheels will drag me around

    It turns out it was because I changed the car lol. It's my fault

    Model 3 price reduction to come?

    If they reduce the price and these craven psychopaths miss the deadline I will have to cancel and rebuy the car. I wonder how they plan to deal with this.

    Sorry sir your car hasn't completed production, we'll know more in a few days

    Rep just email me today with no explanation why after previously saying the car will complete production on Saturday, that there will be a delay and they'll know more in a few days. I was so surprised that they were actually making the 2 week estimate. Of course I was wrong. So happy to be a...

    Dangerous To Accelerate P3d With Old Man In My Car?

    Bro magnus are you sure you didn't do something? She said the acceleration made her feel like she was going someplace... I think that place was the afterlife

    Dangerous To Accelerate P3d With Old Man In My Car?

    I am planning on visiting my 94 year old grandfather soon. He is excited about the new P3D I am getting on Tuesday. Will accelerating with the full power potentially harm him? He has a history of stroke and heart disease.

    Handling In Lrawd Vs P

    I got the P. Want more rear power weight and silly acceleration. Range hit isn't that bad if you drive like a grandma on long trips.

    Handling In Lrawd Vs P

    I have only driven a P but I’m taking delivery of a long range AWD next week. No VIN yet so I can still get the P if I want. I found the P to be really solid and grippy while slowing down fast into a corner. It did not exhibit any boat like behavior like my F30 BMW. How much worse is the...

    Buy cash before July 1st to get tax credit, then take out reverse auto loan

    Just as a follow up to address all the haters voting no -- I got approved today, but the CU also said they would do a cash back refinance at the same interest rate because from their perspective it's an almost identical deal. So it depends on your CU

    2017 "CPO" Long Range RWD 40.5k vs 2019 New LR AWD 52.4k

    Thanks for the advice friends. I was able to un-cancel my new order. I think what really did it for me was the lack of depreciation priced in to the used car. Only 5k off for 2 years of age does not make sense. I want a prospective buyer to see "okay, 2019, completely standard long range model...

    Ghosted by customer support!

    Hey guys, Today I tried calling support a few times but delivery is not accepting calls. They should be open. Is this Fathers Day or was I ghosted???

    Tesla now selling “Used Inventory” Model 3’s, all in SF Bay Area

    I'm just praying that I didn't overpay at 40.5k, and that it holds its value. In the worst case I can hope that somehow my 2017 LR becomes collectible as "one of the first model 3's ever produced". The suspension is apparently stiffer, on almost a BMW M3 level - have heard various claims on how...

    2017 "CPO" Long Range RWD 40.5k vs 2019 New LR AWD 52.4k

    The used RWD has about 7k miles. No FSD. 19" wheels. The new awd order, if still alive, has the white interior and 19" wheels for a pre-tax, pre-fee price of 52.4k. Also no FSD. I am fine driving a slightly worse car, I'm now really just more concerned with the resale and if people will feel...

    2017 "CPO" Long Range RWD 40.5k vs 2019 New LR AWD 52.4k

    Hey guys, TLDR wise to buy a Used 2017 LR RWD for 45k total due vs 2019 New LR AWD for ~58k total due before 3.75k tax credit? Saving 10k for no AWD and 2 years back. I just want to know if I screwed myself by ordering a 2017 Used Long Range RWD from Tesla's inventory website. I'm wondering...

    Tesla now selling “Used Inventory” Model 3’s, all in SF Bay Area

    I bought one of these on impulse. Unfortunately my VIN doesn’t even show on the Tesla account page. But it was the black 2017 LR RWD with sport wheels. I am now wondering what I got myself into. The build is so early but there is no documentation of what updates have happened on the model 3...

    Buy cash before July 1st to get tax credit, then take out reverse auto loan

    So, I decided to get a used long range instead for $40,500. Let's hope I don't get screwed by the Tesla PO system like Rich Rebuilds

    Buy cash before July 1st to get tax credit, then take out reverse auto loan

    I'll definitely pay at least 3750 in federal taxes in 2019. Another aspect - I have a financial advisor who I am not sure about. He wants to move 75k from low risk fixed income into stocks. In 2019. So I feel that in a way buying it in cash protects me from eating the correction against a 4-5%...

    Buy cash before July 1st to get tax credit, then take out reverse auto loan

    Hey guys, TLDR is it reasonable to pay cash for a model 3 to take advantage of the tax credit, then get a reverse auto loan once I start my job? I'm completely new to buying cars - I lived in San Francisco before this. So sorry if this is obviously dumb. I am starting a job soon, and my first...
