    Car is doesn't know which way it is pointed

    Mine actually does this quite frequently in the morning coming out of my garage. Once I drive a few blocks or a minute or so, it locks on. I’ve never noticed it happening any other time when parked in the “open” as opposed to coming out of my garage.

    2018 Model 3 "stealth performance" ... that actually isn't

    Ah, ok. Just to be clear, I never doubted that you had the red line showing in the app and in the vehicle information. Tesla obviously did not have their &h!t together delivering your ordered LR as a Stealth, the mobile tech confirming and badging as such, telling you it would not be changed...

    2018 Model 3 "stealth performance" ... that actually isn't

    I've not seen that reported either but the OP even says that Tesla told him it was never a Performance. And yeah, both are extremely fast so if you haven't driven them both, then you may not know. I guess I was putting myself into his shoes so to speak. Had I noticed the LR that I did buy...

    2018 Model 3 "stealth performance" ... that actually isn't

    I realize some people are having more of a philosophical discussion (getting something that wasn't bought and being taken away), but the OP even admitted that he wasn't even aware of any performance difference when his 3 was "downgraded". He says he can't tell because he isn't a performance...

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

    That happened to me too. I just put it in drive and went away. No issues. It literally took less than 5 minutes and I had a faster car. That's pretty cool IMO. Here's my thought on the AB. It was noticeably faster and much more responsive at almost every speed. Throttle tip in/sensitivity...

    Need Help Convincing Spouse To Buy

    Buy used. Look at it this way, someone already paid Elon, you’re just buying from another person.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    So it's really not a "new" model 3 then is it? It's used and like all things that have lithium-ion batteries, it has degraded and thus you will not get the full range as if it were actually "new".

    Vendor Prismatic PPF on Blue Model Y - Check it out!

    Definitely one of the more enjoyable install videos I’ve watched. Looked like a very professional job.

    Houston electricity/which electrical company? EV incentives?

    I just got my M3LR right before Christmas so I haven't had much time to charge and compare months. Plus I've used some of my free SC miles doing some day driving. Do you expect your monthly usage to be roughly 700ish kWh per month?

    Houston electricity/which electrical company? EV incentives?

    I'll check those guys out too. I did come across another company called Power Wizard that does a very similar thing. Have you found that even with the $10/mo memebership the cost is pretty similar to sourcing it yourself? Meaning, do you think they do good enough to "recoup" the membership fee?

    Not near as good of a picture as the others but I'll contribute. It is a 2021.

    Houston electricity/which electrical company? EV incentives?

    Thanks for the info, I'll check them out! Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks stealership lobby. :mad:

    Houston electricity/which electrical company? EV incentives?

    Hey Houstonians, which electrical company are you getting your electricity from? Any special EV electricity discounts you're aware of? Doing my research now, any suggestions? A hidden gem perhaps? Also, any TX or Houston specific EV incentives/rebates? I saw the TCEQ but it seems Tesla is...

    I’m with you dude! Pretty rude that people aren’t spoon feeding you readily available information in the owner’s manual.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Any news? I've got a delivery date of the 24th for my LR. Wouldn't mind it being sooner though. @MelsM3P has a delivery date after Christmas but maybe his is on these delivery trucks too.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ok, I called the Woodlands and according to them the cars are on their way and expect them in the next 2-3 days. I've also been checking the "new inventory" and up until today that was virtually empty. Today, several 2021 Model 3's have appeared. So, everything seems to be a go for deliveries...

    Anybody in Houston happen to call the Woodlands to see if any cars have arrived? Asking for a friend. ;)

    Not sure if this means anything but my delivery date has changed like 3 times in the last couple of days.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That for sure sucks, I hate that for you, I know I would be bummed out. On the one hand, it's nice that they actually checked and caught it given some of the stuff over on the Y forum about stuff being "within spec" and just passed on to the owner. On the flip side, you would think changing...

    2021 Southwest / Texas Deliveries

    Keep us posted on expected delivery day. Maybe my LR will just happen to show up on the same truck. ;)

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Ordered 10/22. I'm hoping it won't be too much longer. I've got the LR coming though. While I am hitting F5 pretty often, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. I'm replacing a 2008 Infiniti G35, so the M3 is going to be pretty much leaps better in almost every way.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Nice! Looks like you might be like the 2nd, maybe 3rd person I've seen in the Houston area get a VIN.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My delivery window changed sometime between leaving work and after eating diner. Was Dec 4-Dec 31 and now says Nov 24-Dec 4. No VIN yet, but I did text my SA. I'm in TX, and because of our stupid dealer laws and stupid politicians, we have to have insurance and the car paid in full before it...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    People have reported that the regen braking is default set to standard. It’s always on. There is no “low” option anymore, thus no need for a toggle.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Honestly, now that I think about it, this text doesn't really tell me anything new. My delivery window on the website still says Dec 4-Dec31, which is pretty much 3-6 weeks from today. Still the same time frame, maybe a week sooner. We all have the "subject to change" disclaimer.

    Ditto, just received mine as well. 3-6 weeks from today. Houston, TX

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks for the heads up dude. Like I said, I did consider going the demo/used M3P route but decided I like the upside of the refresh a little bit more. I can always add the AB if I feel like I really want it. I did a demo drive of both the LR and Performance some time ago and while I really...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Funny story about loosing sleep. I did an online chat with Tesla who then put me in touch with an advisor out of Vegas. I was going back and forth with him on choosing between an updated 2021 LR AWD or a price adjusted/demo 2020 Performance. He said "because the price adjusted cars come and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Alrighty then, registration, payment and trade-in confirmed. Just waiting on a VIN to get some insurance action going. Electricians scheduled for 14-50 quotes and countless hours of Tesla specific Youtube. I assume everyone else is doing the same. :D The agony of waiting continues!
