    what 2nd SUV do you own right now that complement with model 3?

    Indeed. I had a Tundra and now on my 2nd Sequoia, a 2016 4wd 5.7L. Bone stock it got 16 on long road trips. NC to FL, NC to St Louis and IL. Surprised that GX isn't a little better than that.

    what 2nd SUV do you own right now that complement with model 3?

    11 MPG, Lifted on 34's, 2016 Toyota Sequoia. It doesn't get driven much, but with a wife, 3 kids, dog, extra kids, hauling all our crap out on the beach, it has its purpose. May look at the Cybertruck one day, but until then...

    2020 20-inch wheel touch up needed already...Ugh

    Missed your link before in #6 before, but just read it. Looks like a nice repair and good match on the color! Thank you!

    Scratch repair suggestions for 20" Gray Performance wheel?

    Thanks for the color research and the write-up. Your DIY looks pretty good!

    Sonic Carbon Wheel Touch Up Paint Ran across this. Looks to be a "correct" match.

    I may just do this. It's very minor and just on the surface, but to me it sticks out like a sore thumb.

    2020 20-inch wheel touch up needed already...Ugh

    Well that didn't take long. My wife lightly scuffed one. (I swear it wasn't me!) Any ideas on where to find some touch up paint for those dark gray P wheels? Thanks all!

    Scheduled Charging Finished Way Early?

    Gotcha. Not how I expected it to work, but now I know. Thanks!

    Scheduled Charging Finished Way Early?

    Newbie here, first time using scheduled departure. I set it yesterday to be charged to 100% for a noon departure. It sent me a notification at around 6am that charging was complete. It was already at about 80% when I set it, but just wanted it to top off before we hit the road. Is that normal? I...

    Dashcam Randomly Records-?

    Ahhh, OK. That makes total sense now! That's exactly what was going on, they were sentry clips. I kept looking through the early parts of the clips trying to figure out why it started there. Thanks all!!!

    Dashcam Randomly Records-?

    Still learning this car 3-1/2 weeks post delivery. Just curious what sets it off to record seemingly random clips during a drive. The clips have just been the last 2 days, each 10:49 long, one before the update to 12.5, and one today after it updated last night. Both started midway during a...

    Are NC personal property taxes included in the cost of a Model 3?

    True, true. Our $650 was just for property taxes to Wake County and Town of Cary. The $166 registration piece was paid at delivery.

    2020.8.3 Updating hitting now...

    Ours updated to 12.1 a week or so ago, and just today got 8.3. I dunno... Still a newb, had the car 2 whole weeks now, but the update numbers going backwards doesn't make sense.

    Are NC personal property taxes included in the cost of a Model 3?

    We took delivery 2 weeks ago and just got our 'permanent' NC plate in the mail today along with the $650 property tax bill. It's due at the end of May or the tag will expire.

    Tesla 3 Performance v. Porsche 911 4S

    I'd be curious to see your list of the other 75 sir! I've drooled over 911's since childhood, but never been in a place to own one. Had a few other german rides that I appreciated, but other than an old school VW bug, nothing particularly special... Our 3 is by far the fastest and coolest...

    Post your weekly COVID-19 mileage

    Just completed our first full week with the car. It was delivered at 11 miles, currently at 258. Just gave it it's first bath and then a drive to nowhere and back.

    New M3P won't software update after two weeks - 2019.35.108

    We picked ours up Thursday 3/19 and it updated yesterday 3/23.

    Umm...I don't think so.

    Same here, lol. Curious- do the sales advisers work on commission?

    Post Something You Love About Your ICE Car

    Gotta tag onto this old thread. It's been a long while since I've owned anything fun to drive until we picked up the 3 a few days ago and WE LOVE IT! Out of necessity/kids/lifestyle I've been stuck driving full sized trucks and SUVs for years. The 12mpg pig of an ICE vehicle will still have it's...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Yesterday when we picked ours up in Raleigh, they said they had 40+ deliveries scheduled for the day. They also noted that very few have cancelled in recent days.

    Performance Waiting Room

    So, the website shows one in stock here with the same config as ours. Maybe it's the one I snapped a pic of earlier. Can't I just get that one instead? I have an email into the SA to check. Edit- Yeah, I'm like a kid waiting on Christmas.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Went by the Raleigh center today (delivery Saturday) saw one like ours, but different VIN. I discovered they have a separate warehouse nearby the sales office and service center that appears to be where they get cars in. There must have been 100 or so there.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Same config we ordered and now the Raleigh store shows one available while we wait til Saturday for delivery. How's that work? I wonder if they list ours available as a back up plan in case we were to bail out. All they have from us now is still just the $100 deposit. SA told us a cashier's...

    light hearted request... your car name? - and why

    We are supposed to pick up our white/black P+ this week. Wife is a huge Game of Thrones fan. She says White Walker, cause well, it'll walk anything else. I kinda like Tux- short, classy...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Just talked to our SA. Our car is in Alabama (at the east coast hub-?) getting loaded on a truck bound for Raleigh. Our delivery is still scheduled for this Saturday 3/21. SA says the car should arrive by the 19th, but could arrive early and we may be able to take delivery early. I can't imagine...

    Warning!!! Model 3 will make you immature (again)

    Seen it happen on every car forum I've ever been on anytime someone posts a similar story. Every time. Same result.

    Nice! Good you caught the window. When we ordered we had no idea about their batching/production run process.

    Welcome to the waiting game! What did you get for a delivery time frame? Or next quarter... The ship may have sailed to get in on this one.

    I wonder this too. They went from a rare sighting to everywhere in short order around here.

    Performance Waiting Room

    No, lol. A Model X VIN 5YJX appeared when I "inspect"-ed the Manage page. Weird, but it got me excited and threw me off. Cool, maybe we'll see you there! You can bet I'll be circling that parking lot the 19th and/or 20th! Haha.

    Performance Waiting Room

    After a false alarm earlier, (found a VIN for a 2016 MX-?) our real VIN showed up last night. SA emailed this morning, expect the car to arrive 3/19 in Raleigh, delivery scheduled for 3/21. White/Black, No FSD. Ordered 1/19, so 3/21 will be right at 9 weeks. At order time, they said plan on late...

    How Soon Until VIN Appears in the Online Store

    Our SA told us we'd have to make an appointment after delivery to have the Homelink installed.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Looks like we now have a VIN in source code, 17 digits starting with 5YJ! Ordered 1/19, "built in the next 2 weeks" text 2/24, white/black. We just did the orientation yesterday and our SA didn't see any updates.

    Company Fleet of Teslas?

    We would no doubt do the same. Start with a few and see how it works out. Our current trucks are all 2017-19 1500 Ram Hemis that get swapped out at around 4-5years/100k miles. They also like the marketing aspect of a logo'd vehicle that sticks out. Our company previously had a few 4-door...

    Company Fleet of Teslas?

    I work for a small engineering firm with about 35 employees that has a current fleet of 20 or so full-size, crew cab, 4x4 pickups. One is my DD. The owner's wife got a P3D+ late last year, so some of us have been suggesting the company switch the fleet over to Cybertrucks. It started off...

    Best Car Insurance for New Model 3?

    Update. New quotes from USAA, Geico, Esurance, Progressive, Liberty Mutual, along with our existing State Farm. Progressive was the lowest by far for our situation. M3P plus full coverage on 2 more vehicles with a brand new driver in the house - $1044/6months. Not terrible. Esurance was $2400...

    Best Car Insurance for New Model 3?

    Timely topic. We just got our quote today to add our ordered M3. We don't have a VIN yet and didn't mention it's a Performance. (2) 40-somethings with clean records is $435/6-months with our existing State Farm. We also added our just licensed 16YO that doubled our existing rate. Ouch. Going...

    M3 first impressions and advice needed

    Love the LC and feel ya on that. Our '16 Sequoia is lifted on 34's and has it's place in our stable. It sees limited duty now too, mostly relegated to beach trips with plenty of room for us 5 plus friends and the dog. Can't wait for our P3D+ to arrive next month (ordered 1/19), but it's a...

    That’s awesome! I plan to get some slips as well. I wonder how the Tesla will be received among the drag strip crowd here.
