    First Car Wash of Brand New M3 (Covered in Micro-Scratches)

    I live in Austin too. Where did you take it? Could be they washed or dried it with a dirty rag. Many of these places have zero concern for your paint’s finish. I can recommend my mobile detailer if you need a paint correction. I’m guessing it won’t be cheap tho.

    Tesla’s Market Value Is Now Higher Than GM And Ford Combined

    It isn't a car company. It's a technology/software and energy company, and it's being valued as such. Who else will have the data Tesla has captured re self-driving capabilities? Who else will have its headstart on battery and solar development? This is a decades-long view of how the world...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Quick word of caution to all the new owners out there - be careful with these rims. I made a quick right in a parking lot and already curbed my rim after 1 week. Had my last 2 cars for 8+ years without ever doing that, so I have a feeling the dimensions of this car may be a little unique in this...

    Impressions after a week with my Model 3

    I've owned my M3 performance for 3 days now. I'm smitten. I saw a brand new Ferrari drive by this morning and thought - eh - I'd rather have this. I can't believe I find myself saying that as a lifelong "car guy" but its true. Feels like that would be going backward. I can't believe anyone...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Growing up all i wanted was a BMW M3. And then I had an M3, and it was good. And I wish the Model 3 looked more like an M3. but after driving the Tesla, I can't buy another M3. I can't do it. It feels ancient.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Just got VIN in source. Blue/White M3 performance no FSD. Ordered 11/03 for delivery in Austin. edit: also got VIN officially in MVPA. I checked earlier today and had nothing, so it must have happened this afternoon/evening.

    Performance Waiting Room

    I’ll le I’ll let you know if and when I see a VIN or hear something. Oddly, if I were to order today the page says 2-3 weeks for delivery!

    You and I are very similar. Blue/White Performance Model 3 ordered on 11/3 for Austin delivery. Nothing yet...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I had an M3 that was fully paid off, and I sold it to the first offer only to get 20+ more inquiries. Clearly I underestimated the value of an 8 year old BMW and now I drive a Corolla for $900/month. At least I’ll be super excited for the Tesla when it arrives and I’ll save on gas in the meantime.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Hi, all. Brand new here. Ordered a midnight blue Performance Model 3 on 11/03 after test driving in Austin. My old car sold way too quickly and now I’m in a econobox rental until my Model 3 arrives. Not much otherwise since I ordered. Just hanging around hoping it arrives before Christmas?
