How was the fit and finish? From what I've read recently, the M3s coming off the line these days are pretty good (e.g. no panel gaps etc). Congrats!!!!

Ordered 10/26, applied for the loan same day... US Bank just hit my credit report (again, today 12/4) while I was in a meeting. As soon as I got out of the meeting I ran back to my office and did a search for the VIN. Nothing. Then I remembered that it's been over 30 days since I applied, so...

According to the matrix posted by @Black306 if you have a 50 amp circuit breaker, you set it to position 8 and that will limit the current to 40 amps (which is 80% of 50, so that is correct).

Hoping to get my M3 in a few weeks. As of right now my plan is to use a 6-20 outlet in the garage, but I'm still seeing if that is feasible (there is a whole thread on it I started elsewhere). Otherwise, I'm going to have an electrician install a 14-50 outlet. In either case I'm going to...

You're from Canada. If only the rest of us could be as nice as you guys.

I'm learning as I go (see my previous post in reply to @kkillebrew )... The humidifier has a dip switch and you can select between 11.5 and 16 amps. The electrician was not the same person that installed the humidifier, so my guess is he was being extra safe (not knowing which setting the...

Ok, I think things are starting to make sense now... I found the installation manual for the humidifier and it says: "With factory settings, the Model 800 draws 11 .5 amps +/- 10% . Use a minimum 20 amp dedicated circuit when installing to operate at 11.5 amps. When set to 16 amps, use a...

This is what I was worried about. So I have these junction boxes that I can't even use :( How bad is it if I do install a 6-20 plug and charge @ 16 amps though? Am I just violating the code or am I really creating a hazard?

Ah, ok, good to know. So if I do install a 6-20 plug, then I should charge at 16 amps (hence your original reply) :) Thanks!

Why? Again, I really don't know what I'm talking about, but if I have 40 amps available and the only other load is the humidifier then I know how much load I have left right? So I should be able to install a 6-20 plug in the junction box for the EVSE no?

Totally get that... I'm talking about the actual outlet itself. The $5 6-20 receptacle. It's rated for 20 amps. Can it actually handle 20 amps or do I also need to apply the 80% rule to that as well??? (Sorry for the dumb questions)

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I realize that it's fine. Specially since I have free charging at work as well (assuming I get in early enough to get one of the 10 spots). One last noob question. I see the 6-20 is only $5 at Home Depot (Leviton 20 Amp Commercial Grade Double-Pole...

Nov 18th? Get in line buddy! Oct 26th here and still nothing LOL. You're on the east coast though, so I'm guessing you'll get something pretty soon.

Ah, the 6-20. And Tesla sells an adapter for it for their mobile connector. That is probably what I should do. I'm assuming my idea of charging at 32 amps during the summer months is a bad idea then?

Apologies in advance for the noob question... Earlier this summer we had a whole house humidifier installed. A 240v line was run through the garage to the basement to power it. At the time I thought it would be "years" before we got an EV. But now I'm expecting a M3 in a couple of weeks. I...

I can't wait to get my M3 in a few weeks and when the next person at work tells me about their new car purchase (assuming ICE), I can finally say: "Oh you got one of those old fashion cars. The ones that have the explody engines. You know, burns dino juice and makes mini explosions inside to...

I'm not an iOS user, but I did find this that might help: https://appletoolbox.com/how-to-view-webpage-html-source-codes-on-ipad-iphone-no-app-required/

I think someone else mentioned this on page 1, but there is also your insurance company. I pay $7 a year for emergency roadside on my State Farm insurance. It supposedly includes towing to the nearest repair center and the first hour of on-site labor (i.e. fixing a flat etc roadside). I have...

Wifey and I went to our local Tesla service center just to see what they had, if anything, in stock. I might have just gotten lucky, because I just assumed I wouldn't be able to test drive anything, only look. But they had one on the lot and they let me take it for about an hour. Needless to...

10/26. White on Black, 18" Aero, AP only.

Just got the new owner orientation invite. And in the email it says: "We are expecting delivery of your vehicle to be within the last 2 weeks of December."

Just got the invite to new owner orientation. In the email it says: "We are expecting delivery of your vehicle to be within the last 2 weeks of December."

Hmmm... interesting. I was never told about the 30 day limit. I went home the day of ordering (10/26) and immediately filled everything out, including financing. Curious to see what happens in 5 days LOL.

Dumb question. My understanding is that P3D- is only $2k extra.... but I'm assuming that's $2k extra if you had already ordered a LR AWD w/ 19" wheels right? I ordered a LR AWD w/ 18" wheels. I'd be shocked if I could upgrade for only $2k and get both 19" *and* performance upgrades.

YES!!!! (and congrats)

Depending on how elections go next November, the tax credit could be back in full force: S.1094 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): Driving America Forward Act

Tell them to deliver it to Denver. I'll take it for you. I'll only drive it to work (and maybe to the mountains once). I'll keep it garaged and I'll even wash and fill the tank for you before you come get it.... Oh wait, scratch that last part :)

Dang. I knew I was getting excited over nothing. I still can't "Manage" my account. Oh well.

Yes.... see my latest post on LR AWD Waiting Room. Something is up with Tesla's servers I think...

Here is what I was seeing (obviously not my Tesla). And if you scrolled down, they also had a Model X and Powerwall they were suggesting I order...

I might be getting excited over nothing... but either my account is being updated or Tesla's servers are down haa haa.... When I go to my account it shows me a page I've never seen before (suggesting I order a Model S or X and no "Manage" button).... Then I refreshed a bunch and now I have the...

How is your significant other a CPA and you're spending money on 2017 Audi Q7 ($75k) then a Prius and now thinking of Tesla. If you're rich that's fine. But none of this makes financial sense. I put in an order for a Model 3, but that was after driving my 2005 Acura for 15 years... And...

One of the few ICE cars, actually the *only* one (unless you count my CBR), that I'd love to own again some day. Loved that car!!!

This is what concerns me. Big rush to meet the demand at the end of the quarter and quality probably suffers. At this point, I'd almost prefer to have them slow down and wait longer for my car and have it built right. Obviously in a perfect world, they'd simply learn how to build in mass...

It wasn't clear to me if this was with or without a person inside the car? In Denver, it's been illegal for years to let your car warm up without someone inside. Google Colorado "Puffer" law. Has mostly to do with how often idling cars are stolen, not so much for environmental reasons. And...

*Blind Spot monitoring I'm sure I'll get flamed and flogged for bringing this up, but I have had this discussion many times. If done correctly, most cars do *not* have any blind spots (rear view.... A pillar is a different story). There is an actual SAE standard for adjusting your mirrors...

Never mind, I emailed my SA and to my surprise she called me back (I was expecting just an email). She said she is expecting the same thing that happened last quarter. Big push at the end. She doesn't think we'll get our cars until December. So now to just try and not think about it until...

@JeremyE and @ValXp Have either of you contacted Tesla in Littleton (assuming you're picking up there as well)? Today marks 2 weeks and I'm trying not to be impatient, but tempted to email and/or call just to ask.

White on Black LR AWD 18" Aero ordered 10/26. I'm going to have to start following your posts, hopefully I won't be too far behind your delivery LOL

Funny thing, I just found out this morning that the M3 doesn't include Homelink. It's a $300 accessory now. I just assumed it would include it, as pretty much all cars at this price point do. I'm not mad and I'm not going to cancel my order or anything silly like that. But I was genuinely...

Are you talking about the Federal / State tax rebates? In my case (Colorado), starting Jan 1st 2020, not only does the Federal go away ($1875), but the state drops by $1000 (from $5k to $4k). So I'm really hoping I can take delivery by or before 12/31.

Dude, don't get me all excited! Ordered a White on Black LR AWD on 10/26.... still says 5 - 9 weeks and no VIN in the Source Code yet.

When I bought my Acura 15 years ago they gave me a free coffee cup. I still use it at work to this day. No biggie really, however I was literally just on Etsy.com looking at Tesla engraved coffee cups and thinking to myself: You know it wouldn't cost them much to throw in a free cup, plus it's...

Happy to hear the service is good. I just placed an order (White on Black LR AWD) this past weekend (10/26) and it already feels like it's been a year haa haa. Hoping the year end production rush doesn't mean vehicles with more imperfections. But I also hope I get it by 12/31 before the Fed &...
