My 2020 M3LR did the same thing, and I got the same "within spec" answer when I took it in for service. Didn't bother me much but drove my wife nuts. I sold the 2020 and bought a new M3LR at the end of 2021 when used car prices were crazy, since I didn't mind waiting a bit for the new one...

somewhat related, the safety concern is real. My neighbor broke her toe when she snagged her flip flop on her Tesla charging cable. It was in her own garage, but could definitely happen across the sidewalk as well.

I sold my 2020 M3LR with radar and replaced it with a brand new 2022 M3LR. The lack of radar is irritating, especially at night when the vision system likes to use high beams, but the better soundproofing from double pane windows and other improvements matter more to me.

if it makes you feel better my neighbor has an Aston Martin that rats have chewed on twice. His repair bill for the two incidents was over $40,000.

Out of curiosity, why did you both pickup in Colma and Fremont vs home delivery? I did home delivery for my model Y in November and my new Model 3 in December and thought it was great. I was actually on a ski trip when the Model 3 arrived but it was waiting in the driveway when I came back...

There does seem to be some randomness with the 'phone as key' behavior in the newer model 3's. I sold my 2 year old Model 3 (silver/white, LR AWD) in November and replaced it with an identical but brand new one in December and the phone as key behavior has changed. With my old car the phone...

I sold mine to Carmax, they made the highest offer. Tesla’s bid was $2,000 lower.

I sold my 2020 Model 3LR with 24K miles last month and replaced it with a brand new but otherwise identical M3LR delivered last week. The only change is that I did NOT get full self driving on the new one since I hadn‘t used it for w years on the older one. with that change, my total out of...

There are a lot of MY in Red on the SF Peninsula (Palo Alto/Menlo Park area). At one stop light today there was another red MY next to us, a MSM Model Y behind us, and another red MY crossing in front of us. Of course, there are a lot of every Tesla variant here. I feel like every 3rd or 4th...

I wouldn’t be too concerned. I ordered my red MYLR (white interior, 19inch wheels, 5 seat, no trailer hitch, no FSD) Oct 17 and it was delivered 3 weeks later, Nov 7. Absolutely no idea why it came so fast, but there was/is nothing wrong with it. And it was home delivered with 25 miles on the...

I used the Tesla provided adhesive mount for two years with no problems, I’d go with that unless you really don’t want to stick the front plate holder on permanently. The 3M adhesive involved is equivalent to one cyclists have used for years to glue on tubular tires, which I promise have to...

I had a white interior M3LR for 2 years and the seats still looked like new after 2 years / 24K miles, with exactly zero maintenance. Sold it last month for about what I paid, waiting for a new M3LR end of this month also with white interior. And my wife just got a red Model Y with white...

I like the optimism that we'll get another substantial rainfall this month. I hope so, but after that one big storm to open the rainy season warm and dry appears to be what we're stuck at.

Interesting question. Not sure if "windy" in this context means lots of turns or lots of wind, since highway 1 has both :-) but in any event you'll be going relatively slow the entire time. I'd be surprised if you average much over 50mph, unless you are much luckier than I've ever been with...

2010 Infiniti M56S for my 2020 M3LR, and just sold that car while waiting for my new M3LR to arrive.

I’ll add my data. MYLR Red / White interior, 19” wheels, No FSD, No Hitch. OD 10/16/21, Profile complete 10/17/21, delivery date 11/7/21 yeah, I don’t know why it came so quickly either.

try the various online options. I got quotes ranging from $46K to $50K for my Jan 2020 Model 3LR with 24K miles. I took the $50K from CarMax but the range was interesting. Tesla’s trade in offer on my new Model 3 LR was $48,500, right in the middle. private sale will always be higher, but I...

I had this same problem on the rear passenger door of my 2020 M3LR. mobile service came out and was able to bend the inner door panel back enough to clear what it was catching on. But the tech decided it was bent enough that it might happen again, so he ordered an entire new rear panel and...

we just bought 2 new Teslas (1 each YLR and 3LR) after comparing all the currently available alternatives to our 2 year old M3. Some looked quite nice, including the Volvo and Mustang-E. But everyone we looked at was either more expensive for a very similar vehicle, or had significantly less...

Not surprisingly, my 11 Pro Max in an Otterbox Defender doesn’t work with wireless charging either. It’s a huge over-protective case, not really much Tesla can do about that. I just plugged in a USB-C to Lightning cable, same as in my older M3LR

I have an almost 2 year old M3, and just got a MY last weekend, both with white interiors. I'm a big fan of the white, but that's also because we live in the SF Bay Area and park outside. Black leather in the sun gets VERY hot, that's the deciding factor for me. I'd love a cream interior, but...

It is a 2021 VIN.

And closing this out, the car was delivered to our driveway this afternoon (Nov 7). Exactly 3 weeks from order to delivery, no idea why this went so quickly except maybe they are backed up on delivery trucks and are prioritizing Bay Area customers they can drive to from the factory. Although I...

And our car was delivered to our driveway today. True no touch, I didn’t realize it was here until I looked out the window as the delivery guy was finishing his walk around. No idea why this went so quickly.

I’m very puzzled by my good fortune. My wife’s red MYLR was ordered Oct 17, I got the VIN and delivery notice a few days ago, and it was delivered today (Nov 7). We‘re very pleased it got here so quickly, but really have no idea why, and feel slightly guilty for somehow inadvertently “jumping...

It can't hurt, but whether or not that's all you'll need depends on the state. Some require insurance for the specific VIN prior to delivery, others you can add the new car post delivery. I didn't upload my CA insurance until after I got a VIN and delivery window. In fact, I'd already made my...

Probably something like that. It's supposed to be delivered Sunday afternoon, so I'll keep my fingers crossed until then.

Another data point: Got my VIN today, delivery between Nov 4 and 8 although clearly the 4th didn’t happen. Order date was 10/17, first and only previous EDD was March 14-April 11 2021. This is for a red Model Y LR with with white interior, no other options or upgrades.

I got my VIN this morning, for a delivery date between now and Nov 8, but my VIN is 5YJYGDEE9MFxxxxxx .

My EDD updated this morning. Model Y, LR, red with white interior, no other options (no performance, no FSD, no wheel upgrade) Order date was 10/17 original EDD March 14-April 11 2022, just changed to Nov 4-8 2021. VIN was assigned, all paperwork finalized, etc.

My October 17 order, for a red 5 seat Model Y with white interior (no performance, no full self driving), just had a radical shift in delivery date. Since the order it had been holding at March 14-April 11 of next year, but this morning I got a notification the date had shifted to Nov 4-8...

I'm sure charger availability could be a problem during peak holiday weekend times, but then again traffic is also miserable at those times so I try and avoid those. My roundtrips have been for visiting UCSB, dropping kid #2 off to start freshman year, and soon picking kid up and returning him...

I've done repeated round trips from the SF Peninsula to Santa Barbara and back in the past 2 months, including one that was the full roundtrip in one day, and it's pretty painless on 101 aside from the actual driving. There is construction on 101 in King City that can create a serious backup...

And to follow up on my own post, the kid passed his test and the Tesla-ness was no problem. No need to cover the screen, block the backup camera, etc as I’d read about in much older posts. It seems that the 2020 iteration of the California DMV understands Teslas, at least in the Bay Area...

Thanks! That’s the first hand feedback I was hoping for. Bob

My son is taking his driving test tomorrow to convert his learner's permit into a real California driver's license. He has spent more time driving my Tesla M3 than my wife's Lexus, and is more comfortable with it, but we're not sure about the driver's test. Does anyone have recent experience...

I was driving next to a blue model Y this morning and its rear windows were tinted, while the front door windows were not (or at least not noticeably). It had dealer plates on it, so I assume some sort of prototype or tester.

I think it just depends. In my case, trading in was a no-brainer, as my car needed $6K in new catalytic converters and labor to pass smog. I couldn't renew the registration or sell it privately without the repairs, but Tesla gave me almost what the blue book value would have been post-repair...

2011 Infiniti M56S with 150K miles. Failed smog and needed 6K in repairs so I switched.

I got a Model 3 LR AWD at the end of December, and only got my HPWC installed two days ago. The 3 weeks I owned the M3 before getting home charging sorted out I drove about 850 miles. I charged using a normal 110 AC plug in my garage at 5 miles per hour, and that worked most of the time. I...

I ordered my Model 3LR AWD at noon on Saturday Dec 28 (picked on that showed in inventory at Fremont, for home delivery. I got a call around 4pm to set up the delivery, they apologized for not being able to be there that evening and we scheduled for noon the next day (Sunday Dec 29). I paid...
