    Wanted - Model 3 Hitch Installer in San Diego

    I never found a place to get this done. I've heard that some U-Haul places will do it, but have yet to locate one. I'm still looking. Would love to hear of a success story.

    Wanted - Model 3 Hitch Installer in San Diego

    I’ve looked around and had trouble finding a good shop to install a hitch on my 3 for use with a rack. Neither SD Trailer Supply nor the authorized, but non-Tesla body shop in Sorrento (Amato’s?) will do it. I’ve seen a number of hitches and racks around town, so there has to be a shop or two...

    New cars (after August) no longer come with a frunk mat?

    Ordered AWD 7/27 when they still included the mat. Picked up 9/16 - no mat in car. When I asked, they added it back with a due bill since it was included at the time of my order. If you ordered before they discontinued the drunk mat, I expect they will make good on it.

    Tesla offering free supercharging on Model 3's

    Ordered 7/27. Asked for 2yrSC on 9/14 from SA just after this deal was announced, and SA put in a request. Picked up 9/16 with an email reassurance that the 2yrSC was submitted and is still pending approval. Per the delivery staff, it's very likely that it will be approved, but it may take time...

    Sept 10 - Oct 1 2019 2K Miles Free Supercharging Promotion

    I did this today in San Diego for 2yrSC. It’s real. I have a text thread from SA that it was done and independent phone verification from the delivery team that the request was made (though still pending approval at a higher level). I am scheduled to take delivery Monday and will confirm this in...

    Anyone getting 2 Years Free Supercharging/Upgrades

    We are scheduled for delivery on Monday, (LR AWD blue/black 18) and I was able to get the sales advisor to add free 2yr SC today when I contacted her with the offer. She had to request this for corporate approval, so I’m still waiting for confirmation. Did not score any free upgrades, though the...

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ordered same build (Blue/Black, AWD, 18") on 7/27 and was told 2 weeks or less upon order. Got a confirmation from sales this week that there are none in transit or in Fremont. Sounds like they will start using blue paint again before too long. My current expectation is mid-late September and...

    Opinion on a used 3

    Ouch! What happened? If the 35k LR RWD (gen 1 seats) is an option, I think it’s a good deal compared to others I’ve seen. I’m probably going to punt on the used option and stick with the new LR AWD since my savings isn’t nearly as good.

    How bad is this orange peel?

    ^^exactly right.

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    Blue/Black 18” on 7/27 and absolutely nothing from Tesla on delivery time. Only thing that got a response was to order a used one as well and the manager in charge of the new own called within a couple hours offering to try to match with a vehicle to save the sale. So far she hasn’t found...

    How bad is this orange peel?

    The insurance you had at the time of the accident is still responsible for the repairs and making things right. Just because you switched doesn’t mean they aren’t on the hook for what happened when you were covered.

    Performance or LR with white interior?

    Depends on whether you are patient. Wait times can be a bear. I’m a month out on an AWD and absolutely nothing from Tesla on how much longer. I’d go with black interior in the one that is available, though half of that is because I have kids that will destroy the white. Plus the almost...

    Advice Wanted: Used Early VIN LR RWD vs New LR AWD

    That is an abomination!

    Opinion on a used 3

    I'm in SD as well and in a similar situation. Can't actually see the vehicle til the delivery appointment. Hard to make a decision on a used car without seeing it in person. Starting to feel like the savings may not be worth going used.

    Decisions, Which Car to Pick

    Good to hear. Considering a VIN 14XX LR RWD with 2K miles vs a new LR AWD. Savings is in the 3.5 -6K range and I'm torn. Fear about the early VIN is one thing that worries me, but so does build quality of the new ones when more are being made per week than had been made in total at the time this...

    Weighing options between reserved Used or New with incentives

    In my case, it's AP 2.0 on a VIN inside the first 1500 vehicles made. FUD says that's a bad thing, but I have yet to see anything concrete that says AP 3.0 will perform differently than AP 2.0 in any current use case. I'm new to this, so I may be missing something.

    Weighing options between reserved Used or New with incentives

    Facing a similar decision myself. My reservation for the used is a LR AWD, very early VIN (14xx) with only 2K miles that was traded in to Tesla almost a year ago. Used saves me between 3.5 and 6K vs a new LR AWD depending on what CA does for their rebate program funding for new cars. I'm really...

    Used Tesla Model 3s pricing error?

    Reserved a 2017 very early VIN (14xx) LR RWD, blue, 18" with 2K miles at 41.8K on Wednesday this week. First sold 1/2018 and traded in 9/2018. It's been sitting for almost a year since trade in (what does that do to the battery?). I'm totally on the fence on whether it's a good deal and nervous...

    Advice Wanted: Used Early VIN LR RWD vs New LR AWD

    I have pending orders with Tesla for a used very early VIN (14xx) LR RWD and a new LR AWD (ordered 8/27). The new order is still pending, and I found the used one this week while waiting impatiently. Both cars are a week or more out from delivery, and I'm willing to be patient (as hard as that...
