    Black Model 3 Paint

    We've also had a black Model 3 for about 6 months. Incorrect washing methods can lead to surface scratches. We always use the "2 bucket method" when washing the car and would never take it through an automatic car wash. An orbital polisher should handle small surface scratches with ease.

    Supercharger - Schertz, TX

    Most of the temporary construction fence has been removed. The parking area has been repaved and striped. There is still yellow caution tape around the superchargers but the site looks to be very close to completion.

    Barons Creeks Vineyards in Fredericksburg opening a DC, event this weekend

    Alexander is a tasting room in an older home (maybe 1960's). And I mean it's literary a room of the house, the rest of the house is blocked off. It's possible that the house setup is just temporary, but I'm not sure. I'm thinking the original owner of the house had the Tesla charger (single)...

    Supercharger - Schertz, TX

    These new Superchargers are only 2 miles from my office, but I'll probably never have the need to use one. I charge in my garage every night. Nice to know they're there though.

    P3D_Stealth gets Track Mode V2 too!

    Does the Power Meter topping out at 380KW in the Track Mode video overlay confirm the Performance models have 510HP?

    The "Selma" Supercharger is officially under construction. It's at the HEB is Schertz on FM 3009. It's right behind the Valero gas station, off of the FM 3009 entrance to the HEB parking lot. Looks like 8 Superchargers are going in.

    Best Car Insurance for New Model 3?

    I'm also in the San Antonio area. For me, Progressive had the best Tesla rates by far. It was emotionally hard me to go with Progressive though because I want to punch Flo in her stupid face.

    What does live traffic visualization look like?

    You need to tap on the map screen. On the far right 3 symbols for map options will appear. Make sure the stop light symbol is selected. That is the live traffic button.

    Stealth Performance Now Available!

    I guess we really lucked out ordering a 2020 Stealth last November. It was $50,490 - $1,875 (tax credit) = $48,615. Same car today cost $56,990. We "saved" $8,375.

    Please look at PPF issues 2 weeks old

    When I got my PPF installed I was asked to bring it back in 1-2 weeks for an inspection and wash. I'm sure they will correct it if you bring it to their attention.

    $25 off Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Tesla gave us a $500 credit to the Tesla Shop due to a last second paint color change during our December 31st delivery. We don't really need anything from the Tesla Shop. So I'm willing to offer it for the low, low price of $475. So if anyone is interested in the new Gen 3 Wall Connector, it...

    LR AWD Performance (Stealth TM3) Waiting Room

    We still don't have a VIN. Ordered on 11/27. We were told by the SA in Austin that all orders placed by 12/2 would be delivered in 2019. It's not looking good...

    LR AWD Performance (Stealth TM3) Waiting Room

    No VIN in the source yet. The email link I used to reserve the car had a VIN but don't know if that's the actual VIN or just a place holder. Haven't been asked to submit payment yet either.

    LR AWD Performance (Stealth TM3) Waiting Room

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    I ordered my P3D+ in July 2019. It cost $54,990 - $1,875 tax incentive = $53,115 net. The ear to ear grins are priceless. People need to stop whining about prices. Either pay to play or go home.

    RPM Spoiler

    That's an incorrect price. $279 is 20% off of $349. It should be 20% off of $249 ($199) plus $30 for shipping. $229 total. It's even in the link text "229-w-20-off" (Model 3 Performance Spoiler Molded Carbon Fiber, Glossy $229, Matte $249)

    2020 Price Drop? [Speculation]

    The Stealth is $2,000 more than the LR AWD, so $6,500 less than the P3D+.

    2020 Price Drop? [Speculation]

    Someone on this forum said there was a batch of Stealth's heading for Texas. I contacted the Austin showroom and they confirmed it. The SA email me a link to buy it. The link also had a VIN already generated.

    2020 Price Drop? [Speculation]

    I bet you're right. If I remember correctly, the July price cut was announced around July 16th.

    2020 Price Drop? [Speculation]

    Every time the Federal tax incentive gets cut, so does the price of the Model 3. Is the Vegas odds favorite an $1,875 price cut come Jan 2020? We took delivery of P3D+ in August and are scheduled to take delivery of a P3D- in late December. I'm hoping part the 7 day return period falls after...

    PPF coating for Model 3

    I doubt there is much of a difference these days. 10 years ago maybe, as some PPF's yellowed over time. I knew Avery made vinyl wrap but I didn't know they did PPF until you mentioned it. I don't quite understand what you mean by "the color did not match the sample or promotion...

    PPF coating for Model 3

    I have PPF and ceramic coating. Xpel and Suntek are the bigger brands. I did the front bummer, headlights, fronk, fronts fenders, mirrors, and rocker panels. I regret not doing the rear trunk deck lid where language might scrape. I think doing the whole car is probably overkill though...

    Stock 2020 Vette looks to have lower 0-60 time vs P3.

    I totally agree. I love my Corvette and my Tesla. It's hard to beat popping the top when the weather is nice, rowing my own gears, and listening to that 6.2L engine purr as it's burning premium Techron gasoline.

    Stock 2020 Vette looks to have lower 0-60 time vs P3.

    They are 2 different car categories. The Model 3 is a 4 door sedan. The Corvette is a true 2 door sports car. I have a C7 Corvette and a Model 3 Performance. Chevy says my C7 does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. Sure it can do 3.9 seconds, but has to be on a prepped track with perfect weather...
