    [Solved] Annoying noise from rear seat area

    I had annoying noise from back seat area and solved the issue. Symtoms 1. Not squeaking, but "plastic bags are rubbing each other" kind of noise occasionally. 2. No noise when rear seat is occupied. Solution It is "under" the bench seat. When I remove the bench, I found lots of plastic tags...

    $1,875 rebate sounds likely

    Delivery date on 1/23 Costa Mesa. I asked SM the credit and he questioned me several facts and reviewed all the communications I had with Tesla for the final days of 2019. He filed internal request for it. Depends on internal speed, it can be a credit on delivery or a check of $1750 later...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I checked my Tesla account 7 am today and MVPA was placed at the bottom of lemon law doc. VIN in source also. Around 9:45 AM, I got a call to notify VIN assigned and earliest date of delivery - 24th. I called my SA to ask the compensation and revision of MVPA. I am waiting his call now.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    The only thing I got from Tesla before EOY was tentative delivery date of 12/31(NO VIN). Of course they failed. I called SA yesterday and he asked me to change interior color to black for immediate delivery. I declined. He said white interior may be built this weekend but, you know what, I...

    OK, so...did everyone get their cars by the end of 2019?

    11/11 order date. SR+ White/White. No VIN yet. Batch of SR+ are built now. If you chose black interior and missed EOY in CA, you will get your car this week. SA told me today that my car will be delivered after 17th due to white interior.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I was told my car could be built next week and delivered around 24th. Two SA at two different center(Brea and Costa Mesa in CA) gave me exactly same information. Batch of SR+ built next week and some of them be delivered to So Cal for missed EOY orders.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I got a call from a Sales Manager from Tesla yesterday. When I saw the 510 number on my phone, my heart was pounding, "Wow, is this THE phone call of delivery?." She offered me a test drive. What? Test drive? She had no idea about my order and the reason she called to me yesterday was a...

    SA does not know anything about ETA until VIN is assigned by the "SYSTEM." Unless you already have the VIN and MVPA OR luckily somebody before your order cancel his delivery, SR+ orders in California shall not expect delivery before the end of March. Tesla has done this and will do it again...

    Are SR/SR+ "bait and switch" for, at least, Californian?

    Let's say, you have birthday party coming and you need a cake. You see an advertisement for a $100 cake and visit the bakery and they say "It can be done by birthday, but it is not a guarantee." Birthday approaching, the bakery keep making lots of $200, $300 cake and trying to sell them to...

    Are SR/SR+ "bait and switch" for, at least, Californian?

    This is not a criminal case, it is a civil. You don't have to "prove" something. Courts only needs preponderance of the evidence. "Guarantee" is not required to make a case of bait and switch. If they guaranteed EOY delivery, you don't even have to think about bait and switch case. It is a...

    Are SR/SR+ "bait and switch" for, at least, Californian?

    Wikipedia defines : Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud used in retail sales but also employed in other contexts. First, customers are "baited" by merchants' advertising products or services at a low price, but when customers visit the store, they discover that the advertised goods are not...

    Bad Experience with Tesla Delivery

    OP, I am pretty sure your order is SR+. Basically Tesla abandoned your SR+ which was supposed to be built during Christmas time in order to make more pricey ones. Tesla M3 is in very high demand now and they will do their best to make more money. For them, we are not customers but just 1 data...

    I have made an online order and don't have my SA - the only communications I got from their side are 3 texts. Yes, you are right - I want "the car" and $100 is no big deal to me, but I do not want to do business with Tesla anymore. I have waited 50 days for M3 only to receive simple text...

    Thanks for the answer, OCR1 but how are you so confident about Tesla? I just received a text without saying full refund. with your answer, I clicked the cancel button in my order page(obviously nobody answer the phone), it clearly says "NO REFUND" before click final submit button. I DO NOT...

    You are right. Furthermore, Tesla intentionally changed SR+ batch supposed to be built on 28th to LR/P batch and is cancelling SR+ deliveries.

    Can't get delivery in 2019

    Thanks. Anyway I am happy to get the refund. So, only SR+ are being cancelled, not AWD/Performance regardless of location. Is that mean (1) Change the last days of production capacity from SR+ batch to LR/Performance batch to make more money; OR (2) Have not counted at all how many SR+s are...

    Can't get delivery in 2019

    Did you get offered full refund of $100? I strongly suspect that something happen to the last batch of SR+. (1) Change the batch from SR+ to LR/Performance to make more money; (2) Pour SR+s which were supposed to delivery in Southern CA into Northern CA to make Musk's NYE event looks good; OR...

    Tesla is canceling some deliveries which was scheduled at Dec 31 2019 8PM!

    "the production of the car is out of their control" --> NO, they always have control of production which cars will be built when. They "intentionally" made lots of "inventory" cars even though they already have lots of unfulfilled orders in order to make profits maximized. Tesla did WRONG this...

    California, The Land That Time Forgot

    I totally agree with you. This is madness and unacceptable. You have ordered exactly same configuration car to mine and got the VIN and MVPA yesterday. I have only "tentative" delivery on 12/31 which is BS. The only differences are mine is for Costa Mesa, yours are for Buena Park and you...

    California, The Land That Time Forgot

    I am sure that Tesla will try to deliver all the cars they make by EOY to Northern California. I-5 was blocked more than a day and all scheduled deliveries in So Cal are delayed. Tesla will give up So Cal deliveries due to "natural disaster" and pour all the cars supposed to head south in...

    October Orders... what did we do wrong?

    No bait for a catched fish. We are doing wrong when we let Tesla know we are already catched when we made October order. Tesla has no intention to deliver California order until EOY.
