    How much snow can it handle ?

    Is odd the conflicting posts. My positive experience is a few posts above I will add my 3 is superior in light snow/ice to my wife’s BMW X3 I drive both up the driveway on dicey days So that is how I made this conclusion x3 has Pirelli all seasons

    How much snow can it handle ?

    I recently replaced my oem Michelin Primacy tires (awd model with acceleration boost) , with Michelin Pilot sport all seasons Amazed how good it handles in the snow Obviously too much snow and the low clearance of the car would cause problems But I went out (foolishly) on Super Bowl Sunday to...

    How I got Boombox to take custom tracks

    Thanks a good point Husky and I was a little harsh I do enjoy the little gifts just think the software could use some tweaks played with it this morning and actually my primary complaint is if you have music playing in the car and then switch to Boombox And turn on to play an exterior sound...

    How I got Boombox to take custom tracks

    A new feature that I was so excited about but ultimately disappointed by all due to terrible implementation 1.). Speaker sound should be able to replace the previous under 20 mph forward and reverse existing sounds (without affecting the in cabin audio). ; that is what people actually wanted...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    My understanding is would be considerably faster than a Performance in Chill Mode so not a good comparison.

    is lifetime 270wh/mi high?

    Your highway speed is what is getting you. These cars are not efficient at 80 MPH. If that was 70 MPH your numbers would we lower for sure.

    End of Quarter Deliveries

    I suspect due to the factory being shutdown for much of this quarter ; that demand will be greater than supply and no deals will be offered. Also feel like there is not the normal amount of pressure to make sales this quarter end due to expectations. End of next quarter could be a different story.

    Horrible Range 2020 Model 3 LR, Dual Motor!

    You should look at how far spaced the SC are in the locations you would like to road trip to and see what type of range would be needed. It really varies throughout the country. In the North East / Atlantic area I can say confidently the Model 3 AWD range is more than sufficient for trips. Most...

    Horrible Range 2020 Model 3 LR, Dual Motor!

    To the OP: For the type of driving and charging you are doing I think everything is normal. Your car will get much worse numbers on short drives and you are losing power leaving the car uncharged at work and at home all of those days. The range rating is based on 1 continuous drive and even...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    The main issue/concern is the voiding the warranty bit. If Telsa offered you in the first year of ownership $900 to void your warranty would you take it? Most wouldn't so either direct from Telsa (keep warranty intact for $2000) or 3rd party for $1100 and void your warranty and/or risk it not...

    Ingenext Boost Modules [aftermarket]

    I hope we get the Vendor to test and report back. Seems logical they would try it rather than just refuse to offer the service to 990 motors. There is obviously room to boost it further but how much is the unknown. Anyway, if is confirmed is less capable I will be sure to give credit to...

    If there was a 100 mile range upgrade what would you be willing to pay?

    Possibly $5K 4K or lower YES ; any higher than 5K NO

    Is the Model 3 AWD+ the least expensive sub 4 second 0-60 car?

    Yeah; a firmware update increase the power/speed but it never changed on Tesla's website. That was around October/November 2019 or so.

    Is the Model 3 AWD+ the least expensive sub 4 second 0-60 car?

    Thanks Knightshade for the research. Not as knowledgeable but if you look back to include used cars that retailed new for under $100K does that increase the pool or no?

    First Tesla Experience - Highs and Lows

    Are you able to use the Lemon Law or you just reselling privately or as a trade-in elsewhere? The water ingress issue is a big one and no way you would know at delivery.

    First Tesla Experience - Highs and Lows

    Sorry to hear your car has issues with the build, it definitely is rare now. for others ; always assume delivery will be middle to end of the quarter. March/June/Sept/Dec If you place an order early in those months or the end of the end of the previous month you likely can get it very quickly...

    Will you buy FSD before the $1,000 increase on July 1st?

    Firm no from me They should be lowering the cost not increasing it ; what you actually get today is worth a fraction of $8K Cannot justify an option costing 15-20% of what the entire car costs.

    Trade-In Values Plummet

    None I know of. But in 2019 I monitored the used car market for Model 3's and dealerships with them were selling 98% of the time for far more than Telsa was. The pricing was changing (lowering) quicker than the used dealerships could keep pace yet it appeared based on listings they were still...

    Trade-In Values Plummet

    Right now depreciation on Model 3 is extremely low. They are in high demand and have a great reputation. The pandemic could of course change all that but at least up until last week the factory was closed so was not making more so there were likely many used 3 potential buyers through all of...

    Trade-In Values Plummet

    Tesla in my limited knowledge / experience offers fair prices for other brand's cars that are destined for the auction block. Older cars, very high mileage cars, etc... If your car could be sold at a used dealership than Telsa is not going to give you a fair trade as they are not in the...

    performance upgrade $$$$$ 1 sec

    Sounds unrealistic in terms of performance with current battery in the cars and would cannibalize sales of the S Maybe half second or quarter of a second ; which performance owners would still pay extra for.

    Best Pandemic Car....Period

    Well quite a few have stay at home orders ; which would make driving hours for leisure illegal. I imagine you would be very unlikely to actually get fined for a leisure drive.

    Anyone reconsidering their order after seeing how Elon is reacting to COVID-19?

    Well putting aside your personal feelings the Quality Control is much exaggerated. Was a valid concern in 2018 but since then is very rare for there to be issues. Look at how many model 3's have been sold compared to the amount of complaints.

    Entertainment system baffles me

    I think 99% of your confusion if due to the search feature. Suspect the vast majority of owners rarely use this feature unless verbally asking the car to play a song (which is done via slacker) Otherwise search aside it is simple to navigate you have. 1.) slacker as the main source for music ...

    Anyone reconsidering their order after seeing how Elon is reacting to COVID-19?

    While these stats may be true it also has occurred during a time of shutdown. No one knows what the rates would look like if we carried on as usual and that is the big unknown. Also, assuming the rate of death is somehow exaggerated makes some sense but is not supported by facts. NYC reported...

    Best Pandemic Car....Period

    Agree Am not an essential worker but done some driving (allowed in my state) and supercharging feels far safer than a typical gas station visit (in my opinion). Just sitting in the car with the climate/ AV on you are not polluting the air either. We have taken quite a few trips to the beach...

    Is it possible electric rates can go down with oil crash?

    MA has some of the worst rates, and zero off peak or time differences. Biggest problem is they passed a law that should have benefited the consumer but backfired. The law allows us to buy the energy from different sources to prevent monopoly ; but the delivery is still a monopoly. They took away...

    New: commute too far?

    without somewhere to charge there is NO WAY a standard or standard plus can do a daily 180 mile R/T commute all year An AWD if driven conservatively should be OK and if you can find a used one a LR RWD would be even better. If you have no other car for bad weather days I would honestly be...

    Anyone Looking for Demo Model 3 deals

    Had similar conflicting information when I was shopping in MA months back. My SA told me only the final sale price mattered and I was ready to buy as they were offering free paint or wheel upgrades at the time. 2 other people when I went in person to the dealership to place the order told me...

    Pirelli Cintuarto P7 All Season Plus 2 — anyone try these?

    Thanks for all of the detail. Real shame about the Pirelli's Not in the market yet for replacement tires but trying to decide in advance what they will be so is very useful to me and I am sure others. Those numbers with the Pirelli's are really poor. Any issues driving to Maine from Mass...

    Pirelli Cintuarto P7 All Season Plus 2 — anyone try these?

    It has been very windy lately in MA Possible / hopeful? cause for worse efficiency on the new tires. The lack of traffic on the roads while great for AP are also worse for efficiently

    Model 3 inventories up -- any deals happening?

    Am 99% sure, if a car has ever been registered in a state to a person's name it can not be sold as new. Once they drive it off the lot that first day, it is a used car.

    Extended free Supercharging due to Covid-19?

    I have Free Supercharging on the car for another 18 months so lost on me but... I just got a referral bonus in my loot box for 1000 miles and gives an expiration of 12 months not 6.

    Model 3 inventories up -- any deals happening?

    a 7 day return can only be sold as a used car Telsa cannot sell this car as new perhaps the SA has the story wrong Though months back read similar stories and buyer got close to purchasing and then Telsa advised them last minute they made a mistake and they cannot sell it as new.

    Model 3 inventories up -- any deals happening?

    No, in a perfect world you will get a rep that is eager for a sale and will keep watch for you and notify you of anything that pops up in their database. The more defined your needs/wants are and if they know you will buy immediately if they find what you want the better. Typically any deals on...

    Model 3 inventories up -- any deals happening?

    I have seen watched before this Virus on the used side Telsa remove and then relist the same cars over and over. They seem to have a reason for doing so, it makes sense this why the numbers are fluctuating. Rather than focus on that though, focus on the facts that they have at most 14000 new...

    Model 3 inventories up -- any deals happening?

    Q1 numbers just came out and they did much better than anyone expected. They cannot make any more cars right now so even though sales will be slow they have a finite number of cars to sell. So add those 2 together and getting any deals on anything non-demo is just not an option.

    LR RWD Power Boost to 270kW (362 horsepower)?

    With no ability to make cars for US and Europe right now, one would think Telsa would invest some time and research in coming up with additional paid software upgrade options for all Model 3 variations. Would be a good way to bring in some income over the next month or so. Given the AWD upgrade...

    Anyone Looking for Demo Model 3 deals

    Rebate requires the sticker price to be $49,999 or less. Any SR+ would apply. Assuming poster is trying to get an AWD with any options (paint, wheels, white int.) ; it will depend on how the paperwork is written on Telsa's end. If the sticker is over $50K but the buyer pays less, I think the...

    Uhhh i just picked up an inventory white a stealth p with 19 inch wheels for 51,990.

    Not exactly didn't go the way the buyer liked. The car advertised did not exist. The refund should have been automatic and done well before any shutdowns or reduced staffing started. The fact it has extended into this period is all on Telsa.

    Uhhh i just picked up an inventory white a stealth p with 19 inch wheels for 51,990.

    I would go the credit card route at this point and not feel the least bit remorseful about it. The timeframe to refund $100 is not reasonable. Shame on Tesla

    Has anyone received their federal refund after the turbotax mess?

    Has anyone received their federal refund after the turbotax mess?

    Only reason I rushed to do it and filed was because of the stimulus ; based on 2018 our family would receive nothing but based on 2019 we would. Latest I read is they still use 2018 even if you have 2019 filed ; and are only looking at 2019 if you did not file in 2018 ; which seems absurd but...

    Has anyone received their federal refund after the turbotax mess?

    Done all online, so assume that is the latest version. When I left it at $7500 ; it was going to send me a rebate check which I knew was incorrect. Manually changed it to the $1875 amount so is the correct amount but the actual attached form is incorrectly filled out by them. Seems like they...

    Has anyone received their federal refund after the turbotax mess?

    Just filed today and Turbo Tax is still screwed up on this issue They let you override the default of the full $7500 which is what I did; but on the actual form that is filed which you can view but not edit it shows $1875 with 100% as the amount for the phase out which is just wrong not sure...

    Model 3 inventories up -- any deals happening?

    For those all of sudden seeing inventory ; that is what happens every single quarter end. They have no inventory early in the quarter because they are making cars for Europe then. Last month of quarter they fulfill the orders from Jan-Feb and then produce extra to sell in an end of quarter push...

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    This is true. Also, have never seen anything definitive that proves the 990 is not capable of the current output of the 980 I suspect we never will know for certain.

    Model 3 inventories up -- any deals happening?

    Anything could happen but Telsa has been under much higher pressure to sell cars in past quarter ends and resisted offering any "deals" like you are desiring so there is no logical reason to believe there will be any "deals" in store for you. Yes, in the past 12 months ; there have been certain...
