Thanks, they initially offered $19,000 then dropped it to $18,000 before I got the MVPA. Going rate seemed to be $20,000 - $22,000 on the used market wholesale.

Understood, so referrals are only going to give the referrer anything back if the person purchasing hasn't owned a Tesla product previously. This is good information to know. Thanks for sharing I do appreciate it.

Thanks for finding that and pointing to the source. To be clear, I purchased a another Model 3 (in the US), it was an inventory Model 3 using a referral code from a friend. He, the friend also has a Tesla product. So when I the buyer purchased the vehicle I was granted 10,000 credits and 6...

I used a friends referral code, clicked the link site said referral applied ordered the vehicle. It stated we'd both get credits thanks for ordering etc. All was great, I took delivery and the next day I've got 10,000 credits and 6 months of supercharging. I checked with my friend and he got...

Luckily for me in the end, after sending multiple texts someone at the delivery center paid attention and got me the MVPA. When it did generate it was wrong, I got a call to confirm down payment and other details then they corrected it. I'm glad my Credit Union was fast and efficient as they got...

It's annoying, so frustrating. I don't know I'm thinking if there wasn't discounts and the tax credit I'd go with a regular dealer. I agree, delivery time should be set after they issue the MVPA of you're going third party. I went with Tesla first time and it was smoother experience but I...

From talking to people at Tesla I believe you are correct. The app for whatever reason didn't apply the pictures on their side so I had to call the email them then wait for them to approve the amount. They approved a bit less but onward. Then the app asked me to approve the trade which I tried...

There is a problem I don't have the purchase agreement and without that the loan won't be funded. That's a fairly major problem if I drive there and can't take delivery. I sent them pictures via the app, the same app that deleted pictures as I uploaded new ones. I ended up emailing pictures to...

I'm at best cautious of car dealers and I'm less trusting of Tesla as they like to move the goal posts on an almost daily basis. I'm really hoping to avoid taking time off work to drive hours only to be disappointed. Hopefully they'll pull it together last minute which isn't fair on the sales...

No question was posted, I'm hoping anyone else buying a Tesla finds this post and understands it might actually be less stressful to just go to a regular dealer.

Excellent advice, I'll just wait faster

It's delivery day, I ordered a LR in inventory upgrading from a 2020 SR+ (built in 2019). I still don't have a MVPA and the best Tesla have done so far is tell me to use the order configuration confirmation to which I've told them my bank doesn't care nor want that they want to know the final...

I got my car back and they replaced the super bottle. This is the second time this year they've replaced the super bottle. Other than that the car appears to drive and charge normally.

I took my car in for upper control arms to be replaced and for an issue with the AC blowing hot. I get it back and AC is still blowing hot? They were nice enough to take it back in almost right away. They already replaced the compressor, next they replaced the refrigerant pump. I get the car...

Tesla confirmed both upper control arms need replaced along with the AC compressor. They said the control arm issue was just wear and tear. I don't even have 40,000 miles on my car and it's not like I'm going off roading with it. It's all city/highway drives on decent roads.

That sounds about right. Thanks!

My 2020, built in late 2019 Model 3 SR+ with about 40,000 miles on it has developed a strange duck sound when accelerating at low speeds. The steering also creaks and groans when turning. Sounds like it's coming from the driver side only. I've checked the wheels, suspension and everything I can...

I'd like to hope Tesla's own advisors aren't going of rumour. You'd want to think Musk runs a tight ship but as we all know he could change his mind via tweet 😂 I just jumped on chat myself just to see and they said they don't provide that information 😂 I am genuinely curious as to what the end...

That is interesting, do you have a link to an article or something. I'm always willing to learn more and appreciate those that take the time to help spread around the education.

All in saying is Tesla, the people that make the car are saying LFP. You have nothing but speculation. Which to be fair could be spot on but I don't know that nor does any other regular person. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the speculation up until it's passed off as fact.

No, I don't keep saying that, I said it once. I also said I reached out to Tesla to ask the type of battery and heard back that it was LFP. I should have stated I reached out via their website. This was followed up from Tesla with a phone call and email. So far they are telling me LFP. That is...

I never received my information from a Tesla store employee.

You do know it isn't all that common as people seem to want to ignore logic and just go with what they think or feel. So the consensus I'm getting here is really no one actually knows. That's alright it's better than Tesla says it's LFP and (no offense to anyone here) random people on a...

How do you know that? Do you have a source for this information or is it speculation. At present Tesla are saying LFP Batteries and are telling other potential customers the same. Do you know something the people at Tesla don't know.

Interesting, I reached out to Tesla a couple of weeks ago asking them what type of battery was in the Long Range. I heard nothing until yesterday where they said it was LFP. I agree with others on the physical size of the LFP and the range doesn't add up. There's more to it I'm sure but this...

Thanks for the responses. I think waiting another couple of quarters might be the smartest move. I'm aiming for a Model 3 LR and will go for the acceleration boot too. I want to get he best balance of speed and range. I wish performance was still available with the regular 18" wheels. Now to...

I have a Model 3 SR+ built in late 2019. All in all, amazing vehicle. Had a few minor issues all but one solved by sending out a tech. I had it in for work recently and had a Model X loaner. While it's too large for my needs I quickly got addicted to the additional range and performance. Which...

I got the car back, I was in the service area (outside tent) for all of five minutes. The fastest I've ever been in and out of any service area. However, there's always something. The inside of the car now stinks like some kind of chemicals. Hopefully this will dissipate within a few days.

It's the next week and no updates from Tesla and no changes in the app. Therefore I assume they haven't gotten the part or got to my vehicle yet. I suppose I should just suffer onward in this Model X with free supercharging 😂 When they took my car in I lost all control over it. Apparently...

I'll know for sure next week. I just dropped my car off. The invoice reflects they'd be replacing some washers and the super bottle. I was expecting the traditional experience. Bring in your vehicle, wait all day for them to work on it. Not the case they swapped me into a new Model X and took my...

Thanks however service is closed on the weekend for "Orlando" the best I could do was email otherwise I'm just going to keep driving hoping it doesn't die. If it dies it dies, I'll have it towed back to Orlando. I've read a few horror stories about people being denied loaners and stuck with Uber...

My car is showing codes DIR_126 and DIR_103 which from googling can be anything from drive motor failure, to a pump gone or going bad to a value to a coolant leak. I'm sure there could be other reasons. Luckily no coolant puddles or anything else pudding underneath the car. This occurred...

I've got the exact same issue. It occurred when I accelerated power reduced and rapidly too. Did a reset and it seems to be ok, put in a service request however there's zero chance I can risk driving it to the service center and $100 uber credit it useless to me. I can't wait two weeks to drive...

I think the question has been answered twice already. No auto park and no USS welcome to Tesla vision, enjoy all those features you bought and can no longer use.

Do you have ultrasonic parking sensors? If not welcome to the wonderful world of Tesla vision where you lose features you paid for and Tesla basically tells you to go F yourself for asking for them back. Because "Elon" said it'll be better two years ago means in reality it'll never happen. You...

I'm assuming I'm not the only one who's insurance (Progressive) has increased significantly here in Florida. I assume this is because of the number of these cars on the road and the fact they are obscenely expensive to repair when damaged also the storms last year and in 2004 are always used as...

The loads where small, irrigation, outside outlets and I suspect the cause of the issue the neurio meter. I suspect if the neurio meter is backed up there shouldn't be any issues for other users. The electrician did state he hasn't seen one setup as mine was before. I assume with it being...

The issue has been corrected, my system is no longer constantly pulling small amounts of the grid, about 3kw daily or about 100w on and off. I was informed a redesign of my system was needed. Tesla sent out an electrician to move two breakers that where not backed up by the system and in front...

It is what is it, still an amazing car. Without a doubt best car I've ever owned.

Tesla went from parking sensors to cost cutting and now people are using tennis balls. Says a lot about a once forward thinking company quickly becoming another automaker. They need to get back on top before one of the legacy auto makers leaves them in the dust. I've a 2020 with sensors and I...

I didn't come here to get into an argument with a couple of men children who want to be right or twist the narrative in order to feel correct. Yes you got a thumbs down so did I from the troll yet did I get offended by it. Get over it nice on Karen.

His point is irrelevant, he's a troll. Trying to stir the pot. Interesting so in my case and I'd assume many others when our cars go to sleep while at work for example. We're still stranded. That is my point that is exactly why I said what I said. I didn't come in here to argue about a...

Let me be very clear since you've jumped to the wrong conclusion. I did not say nor mean a 12v could die while driving, that my friend was your interpretation, your assumption. On the side of the road, believe it or not is where some of us park sometimes. That reference means for example your...

This is true, even a new battery could die. However I'd trust a new battery manufactured recently than the one that's been baking in the Florida sun for the past three years in my car. From experience, I've had enough dead 12v's die to know just to swap it out otherwise be prepared to jump it or...

Have you ever read what you wrote before you hit "post reply" it will absolutely leave you on the side of the road if it dies. Dead 12v you need a jump or to be towed that's not hyperbolic that is a fact no matter how much you think your right there you are wrong.

That's just asking for trouble lol. It's happened to me with a previous vehicle. Battery is good two weeks later stone cold dead. I don't have time for that and no I've zero intention of testing the battery every other day or week just to save a few $ I'm just not that cheap. My advice here...

If you live anywhere it's extremely hot I'd recommend just replacing the 12v every three years. Every car I've had the 12v died at or around the three year mark. Apart from a late 90's ford, the battery in that outlasted the car lol. The $125 or whatever it cost at the time was well worth it vs...

I've been informed my issue has been escalated up their design team for possible redesign of my system.

After multiple appointments set and rescheduled by Tesla they finally got someone out here. Guy shows up and hasn't really any idea what's going on and thinks it's an app issue, then phantom draw (yes my irrigation system that's 6 years old constantly needs 100w of power lol) then metering. Long...

I can't get the gateway to go offline in my Powerwall+. I turned off main power, flipped all the breakers, turned off the powewall and it's (gateway) is still running. I left it for 5 minutes and it's still running. I don't understand where or how it's still drawing power everything is off...
