That's very interesting, because I still find it improbable that BOTH of my key cards, which I'm certain were programmed and working at one point, stopped working at the same time. Honestly I don't know exactly how the Tesla technician fixed the problem - I assumed he re-programmed my key...

Good point. I purchased the car 9/17/19 and the Warranty section in the app says my "Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty" expires 9/17/23. So maybe that's why there was no fee for the mobile service. FWIW, the invoice doesn't mention that fees were waived based on warranty; it just shows $0 in...

Both of my Tesla Model 3 key cards mysteriously stopped working last weekend. I couldn't find a post here that precisely described how to proceed, so I thought I'd share what I learned. I'm certain that both cards worked at some point, but I typically use my phone, so I hadn't used either card...

I charged here today on my way home. Chargers were fine; the BP / Stuckey's / DQ leaves a bit to be desired. Nothing else is within walking distance.

After posting my own “car wash mode” here a year ago, Tesla has finally released an actual Car Wash Mode feature :) I think Elon Musk owes me royalties!!

I broke off the passenger-side visor clip back on Dec. 26. I made a service appointment via the app (soonest available = Jan. 9). This was my first experience with Tesla mobile service. A few observations - The appointment confirmation email said "For a touchless Service experience, please...

I finally took my first Tesla Model 3 road trip, driving 625 miles from Marietta, GA to Lake Worth, FL. I'd read a ton of posts beforehand for road trip tips & tricks, so thought I'd share my newbie impressions, including a few things I personally hadn't read or known before my trip...

The tricky thing here is that my car goes into "Hold" when I come to a stop, and you (apparently) can't go directly from "Hold" to Neutral. I wanted my instructions to be 100% idiot-proof, and going into Park first seems to be the best way to avoid that feeling of "huh, I'm holding the gear...

In preparing for a road trip to visit my parents, I wanted to make sure I had the right charging adapter to recharge at their house. For some reason, Tesla's website makes it hard to quickly compare all of the various plug types. I couldn't seem to find a simple, comprehensive, visual list of...

I've experienced the anxiety of approaching a car wash in my Model 3 numerous times. I find it hard to remember what to do, and how to do it (especially how to get into Neutral). Searching the web brings various bits of advice and video snippets, but I've yet to find a comprehensive...

We had an unnerving experience last night with our Tesla Model 3, which I thought I'd share if it's helpful to others. We drove the Model 3 to the ATL airport with about 140 miles of charge remaining, and parked at a charging stall with about 100 miles remaining (we live 31 miles from the...

I found this thread when searching for info on obtaining a Georgia Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) license plate for my new Model 3, so thought I'd document my experience. On Sept. 17, I took delivery of my Model 3 in Roswell. The car had a temporary tag that expired Nov. 1, and the delivery...

I picked up my Model 3 today. Here is a picture of the Charging Kit that came with the car. There are 3 items - A Mobile Connector, which I think is 20 feet long. A NEMA 5-15 household (3-prong) adapter for the Mobile Connector. An SAE J1772 public charging station adapter for the car's...

Here is the original article that has a Tesla Model 3 delivery checklist - Tesla Model 3 Delivery Checklist: Detailed and Complete | Torque News I turned this into a more easily printable version as a Google Doc - Model 3 Delivery Checklist

TESLA MODEL 3 DELIVERY REVIEW I took delivery of my Model 3 today. I've been grateful for the updates on this forum, so I thought I'd share my experience. To recap - Aug. 8 (DAY 0) - ordered online - Model 3 Performance, White/White, Premium Upgrade - estimated delivery "2 weeks" Aug. 24...

I asked my Tesla delivery specialist, and he said they would accept a personal check for the balance at time of delivery. (I'm not comfortable paying the balance online before I take possession of the car; I was prepared to get a cashier's check from the bank, but apparently it's not necessary.)

Minor update here, but I noticed today that my VIN number is actually showing up on my "Manage" page. (I first saw it in the page source 4 days ago, but it was NOT visible on the page at that time.) Recap of my order history so far - Aug. 8 = DAY 0 = ordered white/white performance Model 3...

Ooooh, progress this morning!! Here's my recap so far - AUGUST 8 - ordered online. Car configuration - Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive Performance Performance Upgrade, 20" Performance Wheels, Autopilot Pearl White Paint, Black and White Premium Interior The order confirmation page said...

It is interesting to note that for many of us, our relationship with Tesla has started with 3 bald-faced lies - 1. "Estimated Delivery: within 2 weeks from order placed date" Yes, it says "estimated," but clearly, there was no ability or intention to meet the 2-week estimate. 2. "Next...

Ungh. Just received this text message - Thank you for ordering your Model 3! We are waiting for a few finishing touches to be made on your vehicle. Please expect another 3-4 weeks before we reach out to schedule you for delivery. I placed my order 16 days ago, on Aug. 8. My guess is that when...

Oh my. I hope that isn't accurate! Here's my recap so far: Order date: August 8 (15 days ago) Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive Performance Pearl White Paint Performance Upgrade 20" Performance Wheels Black and White Premium Interior Autopilot Today, the delivery specialist at the Tesla...

Congratulations! Any feedback on the delivery experience at the Roswell service center? I actually had a Wall Connector installed on Monday, Aug. 12. Every time I walk past it in my garage, I sense the absence of my future Model 3 :) So far, here's my story: Aug. 8 - ordered Model 3 white /...

I ordered my Model 3 Performance, White paint, Black/White interior on August 8. It'll be delivered to the Roswell, GA service center. I've just read through all of these posts and am coming to realize the estimated delivery of "2 weeks" on the Tesla website might be a tad optimistic :)
