Delivery day has come and gone! Brought home the white on on Thursday!

Just got my VIN Today! 183XXX, Need to get my financing lined up, and get the old one listed for sale! My EDD changed to 3/8-3/12 once it was assigned.

When I got my 1st Model 3 in 2019 I was with Allstate, and had the same experience. Ended up with a good rate with Progressive.

Was delivery an option when you ordered? It used to be available up our way, but pick up was the only option I saw. I'm near Syracuse.

They must have, I'm 265 miles from the delivery center. As far as the screen, yea for sure. I'd have cameras drop out from day 1. Some of the theatre apps are very slow too (netflix) Love the car though, and if not for the new job, I wouldn't have considered it.

Just put in a new order today. I've had a SR+ since 4/19. I recently got a job that's pushing the limits in the winter, so it was time to upgrade. With the used prices, how could I not? I found it interesting that delivery wasn't an option to my address this time around. I ended up picking up...

I've been using this one. The head folds flat, so it lives behind the front seats on the floor all winter. https://www.amazon.com/Snow-Moover-Extendable-Squeegee-Scraper/dp/B076PVN38H/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=snow+brush&qid=1641266324&sprefix=snow+br%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-14

+1 on the Evannex one. I've had it over a year. Easy in / easy out, and its held up well.

With a RWD SR+, I have a "snow mode" profile saved with regen set to low. If the car were AWD, I probably wouldn't change it, but having the stopping force in the rear vs the front did not feel great the first few times, I hit a slick spot and instinctively raised my foot fully off the accelerator.

When they replaced yours, did you have to send your bad unit back? I just called in a warranty on mine because the casing on one of the pins in the handle broke. They sent me a return tag to send my current unit back, but I'm thinking about getting a 2nd Tesla, so a 2nd HPWC wouldn't be a bad...

I had very good luck with these last year as well.

The no charging @ home is going to put a dent in your range. Heating the car up from stone cold takes some work. On the flip side, you can take advantage of the charger at work before you leave. I would suggest charge towards the end of your shift as that heats the battery, and you can also use...

My main profile is "John" and I took a little artistic license and called my winter profile "Jon Snow"

I live near Syracuse NY, which is no stranger to snow, we avg 122" per year. Last year was a bit of a down year, but had zero complaints with the 3 from a driving perspective.

It was 4/12/19 they made the change to all cars come with basic autopilot. I picked my car up on 4/13/19, and when I placed the order a few weeks prior, I had chosen to NOT tack on the additional autopilot cost. At time of delivery, which was literally. hours after the announcement, I was given...

Yup, if you haven't checked yours ya should! I have 3 coworkers with 3s, and mine was the only one of the 4 that had the issue. Go figure. . . PSA: check for rust at this point

I took my '19 M3 in for the rust spot right behind the drivers fender. They adjusted the panel, and touched up the paint. While they had it, they noticed some ghosting in the paint, and took care of it, on their own, didn't even have to ask.

I ran this same set up in Central New York with very good success. As others have said, what type of snow plays a huge roll. If it were 8" of lake effect snow on a 20F day, I would head out and not worry too much. If it were 5" of wet snow at 34F I wouldn't even thing about it. This is the first...

Wow that's a lot of juice. It's all perspective though. I may run my window ACs 30-60 days total in a year, and 95%+ of my heat comes from wood, so its a fairly low energy house. The cars are by far my biggest draw. W/O the cars, a typical daily usage only 13-14 Kw. At the end of the day, I'm...

Looking again, I was actually looking @ 2020, duh. 2019 was 10.6 MWh on a 8.97kw system. I presume with that much production, you are way over 100% covered.

I live near Syracuse N.Y. home of the gloom for 6 months. It costs more because you need a bigger system, but N.Y. incentives go up to 110% of your annual usage so even in colder snowy climates it can be done. My ~9kwh system made 4.32 MWh last year. Not nearly as productive as AZ or CA, but...

Your photo seems to be broken, but it's very easy to offset w/ solar as long as it's sized right. I have a ~9kwh system and produced 10.4 Mega Watts in 2019. My entire house (including my M3 + my wife's Prius Prime) consumed 10.6 Mega Watts. I look to be on track to exceed last years production...

I didn't have any reasonable way that day to pass along the video, and there were plenty of witnesses, so I didn't end up sharing. . .

No, but the guy driving the pick up needed new shorts. Fortunately it JUST missed hitting the drivers door, so he was just shaken, but not seriously injured. Could have been a lot worse for more than just him, if that dump truck driver didn't react as well as he did. Luckily he was empty at the...

This was last September, but still remember it like yesterday.

I swapped to my snow tires before we saw any, so I've only experienced the RWD w/snows. Have to say it was as good as any other 2wd car I've driven in the snow. The only downfall is deep snow as its so low. I had a blast driving it though, the traction control is very responsive and you have to...

Very interesting. When I left this morning (low was 69F) I had no dots before I drove at all. 83% soc.

I took a peek this afternoon when I left work. No dots, and I was @ 73%. It was a hot day here, 91 for the high. Peak charge before leaving for work this morning was 83%. I did have dots to between the N and D when I left. I have the car programed for a 6am departure.

Could be a useful voice command vs an onscreen button.

Yea, I've experienced this as well since my car updated to 2020.8.2. Every once in a while I would see this, but now, I can't drive on roads with only center lines w/o getting bumped by the assist multiple times. What I've noticed is the representation of the right edge of the lane seems very...

Fellow upstater curious how you confirmed that? The brake lights do turn on during strong enough regen.

I have mine set to auto, and they turn off a minute after I walk away and the car locks. If you need them to turn on for a brief period of time, (not sure what a highway safety zone is) you can just do a quick flick of the washer fluid / wipers. The wipers activate the headlights, from my...

My car is an SR+, and looks like the OP is as well or a LR, so no worries about the AWD for us.

I have 285/30/20 on the rear of my SR+ with no issues. Wheels are 20x10.5 +45.

See photo below. I've seen a number of other folks on TMC report similar ghosting in the paint from the factory. Mine wasn't as extreme as below, but there was some pretty clear ghosting the front fenders, where they are concave, and on the rear fenders where it meets the trunk line. Both spots...

I just had this taken care of at the Rochester SC, no questions asked. They loosened the bot and adjusted the panel and added some touch up paint. Big plus though, they also took care of a few spots of ghosting in the paint. I had noticed them over the summer when I washed it, but figured at...

I was struggling with the windows as well, but a coating of silicone lube so far seems to have taken care of that. We has snow followed by ice yesterday and now we're back to snow. Windows peeled down no problem.

They are the satin bronze. I don't think anything beats the bronze wheel on a blue car look. I've loved it since I was a kid, pining for the WRX to come to the US.

Not the greatest photo, but I just put these on quick, so I could get winter tires mounted on the aeros. So they are now put away for the winter. . . 20" Stance SF07 in bronze.

I snagged the same tires based on what I saw on the euro reviews as well. Luckily they were in stock, so I had them mounted the next day ($200 ea mounted and balanced). I have them on the stock aeros, and I'm patiently waiting for the weather to turn so I can see is they live up to the reviews.

I also got the lane departure avoidance warnings. I didn't realize there was a defrost loop in that area, which is good to know for the future. That does point to one difference for me compared to recent history. I had turned the HVAC off completely for most of my trip, experimenting with energy...

I was driving around this morning (about 35F out) and I was intermittently getting the blindspot detection limited message. I get it most mornings and I chalk it up to dew on the side cameras. It didn't go away today after it warmed up and there was no more moisture on the car. I checked the...

I've been using the Stats app to do just that. It has a battery prep setting, and I have it set to bump up to 90% about an hour before I leave for work. It also has a climate prep, which kicks on the heat 15 min before I leave. It works pretty well, but once in a while, it just deletes my...

I guess we're going to find out! This will be my first winter with the Tesla.

I just picked up a set of Continental Vikingcontact 7s for my first winter in the 3. This is their first year selling them in the US, but the reviews put them at the top of any euro list I've been able to find. I got them for $200 each installed, which was $50 cheaper each than the R3. I live in...

I have the SR+ and for sure have the fog lights.
