    Bromptons in a Model 3

    Two electric Bromptons fit easily in the trunk of our Model 3! We’ve been spending about 4 months a year traveling and staying in hotels. This year after a stint in Florida, where we really wished we had bicycles, we finally bought this pair from Portapedalbike in Phoenix. We’ve had them for...

    Performance to Winter tire swap timing advice?

    I have a 2019 M3P. 96,000 miles. I swap to my 18” winter wheels and tires in October/November and back to the summer set in March/April.

    Go Fund Me for EV Charging in SE NM

    We were definitely disappointed to discover that Las Cruces swapped out to slower 6kw chargers. I don’t care that they charge for them, but it used to be nice stop there and get a decent bump while dining nearby or checking out the farmers market. 6kw isn’t worth stopping for.

    Cross Country Shipping?

    I do not recommend Montway. They have some good folks there, but I recently had 15 vehicles shipped cross country and in the middle of it, I got a strange, threatening phone call from a supervisor implying he might have some of the vehicles stored until he received payment. It was essentially...

    Should I have my 2021 M3 SR+ looked at before 2500 mile road trip?

    No. Check your tires, enjoy your trip. Make the rest of us jealous.

    Fourth of July last weekend, I think this was in eastern Missouri. I didn’t understand why the white car was parking between us when he had already finished charging. I’m a little slow, but I figured it out when they started taking pictures.

    High mileage check-in

    Similar for us. We have more vehicles than we should. Prior to the Tesla, we were out in the Jeep or traveling with the dually and camper every weekend. The Tesla changed all that instantly so that, with the exception of the motorcycles, we no longer care to drive the others. The Jeep and...

    High mileage check-in

    84,668 miles and 41 states on our 2019 Performance. Road trips only, it rarely leaves the garage during the week. I usually commute on an e-bike and my wife thinks the car is too flashy to take to her work. It’s not uncommon for the car to sit unused for a month if we are traveling in our...

    First road trip (finally)!

    39 states, 70,000 miles. Our car is only used for road trips. Down the east coast should be easy as there are tons of places to charge. We use Plugshare to find a hotel with a destination charger at the end of the day. The Windy app can be helpful if you are stretching your range, but you...

    Let your McDonalds owner know that we appreciate it. We stop, charge and buy a meal every time we head north. That 4% charge up has saved us many times... Matt in Artesia

    Yes! As Mark57 said, we charged at BJ’s RV Park for $5. nice folks, restrooms and WiFi are available. We strolled into town (one mile), ate lunch and strolled back. They have 50 amp service, but the Tesla charger limits it to 32 amps. We got enough of a charge to explore more of the park...

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    We’re from Artesia, but we pass through Roswell most weekends.. One reason I bought red was because I was hoping it would be the rarest color. Well, there’s only one other Tesla in town and guess what? It’s red!

    About white interior

    Love the white, no regrets! 27,000 miles on our white interior with no special protectants. So, so glad we chose white over black. Makes the car a bright, cheerful place to be. We are child free and almost never have anyone in the back. However, the car is used almost exclusively for road...

    Performance Waiting Room

    We ordered our red/white performance FSDC on July 9, VIN on July 24, Delivered August 1. We are in New Mexico, but opted for a Tempe, AZ delivery. We flew into Phoenix and took a Lyft over to the store arriving an hour early. The store was busy, but not overwhelmed. Our car wasn't ready, but...

    Body panel alignment and gap issues still persist

    I haven’t taken delivery of our Model 3 yet, but we did take delivery of a 2019 Chevy Van at work today. The inconsistency of panel gaps and door alignments is atrocious! Funny thing is I’ve never noticed or cared about these details before Tesla made the news.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Update: We placed the order for our red/white performance on July 9th. Based on recommendations from this thread, we changed from home delivery in rural New Mexico to delivery in Tempe, AZ. On the 16th, the site updated the new lower price. Yay! Yesterday was two weeks- no update from...

    Performance Waiting Room

    RE: Price Change I placed our order for a red P3D last Tuesday the 9th. Originally I was planning to order last night (when the price dropped) but I got impatient. I was kicking myself and quite restless last night as there is a roughly $4,900 price difference now. This morning I called...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Thank you! We changed our delivery to the Tempe, AZ service center. We can get a reasonable direct flight from Roswell to Phoenix. Hopefully the car will be perfect! A 550 mile drive home will be perfect to get familiar with the car and charging.

    Howdy. First post on the forum. Thank you to all the members posting information here! You all were a great help in our eventual purchase decision. This evening we ordered a Model 3 Performance, red/white. Even though our screen name is AZHobos, we are currently living in a no-mans land as...
