    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Thanks! Even though it's probably too much credit. I've just never seen the Universal lot that empty so I had my way with it. Usually where my car is would be a base camp for a show.

    Model 3 Back Seat Question

    Depends on the person sitting there.

    I was trying to catch the lineup of cruise ships outside the port but the haze is a bit thick.

    About white interior

    My driver's seat has the indigo dye on it but I don't see it when I'm sitting there. The dye is easy enough to remove but I've only bothered to do that once so far. I would get the white again without a second thought.

    Window Tinting - last minute question

    One piece or don't do it at all IMO. Note to OP, if you have the white interior the 30% will look like 40 or 45%.

    I'll give you the first two, but it's too cool looking not to get some attention.

    20” Performance wheels - center cap?

    Where did you get those caps?

    Are you going to put black Ts on it?

    20” Performance wheels - center cap?

    Ahh decisions.. That looks good with the blue but I don't think I can get away with it.

    Aerodynamic efficiency 20" forged vs 20" performance wheels?

    I doubt the range difference would be noticeable at all. The stock 20" wheels aren't for efficiency, just looks.

    What did you name your Tesla?

    I went with one of his daughters. Mine is called Persephone and my garage is Underworld for the home link.

    I'll think about that. I want to see how it looks with red on the wheels first and maybe the Ts on the side cameras.

    Vendor DIY Chrome Delete Kit - Nikola Pro

    Do the Nikola wheel decals fit the "Ts" on the 20" wheels?

    Obviously going to replace the plate frame, and I need to get red T caps for the wheels.

    I'm getting the XPEL stealth so I'm doing the whole thing. It costs a lot but I plan on keeping this car as long as I can. I never did the ppf on previous new cars I bought, but I also never liked a car as much as I like this one.

    I don't think mine auto-dim, delivered 03/05/2020.

    Auto dimming mirrors

    That is probably just your window tint, I had the same thing with my BMW backing into my long driveway. Mirrors are not supposed to dim on reverse when you really use them. I'm going to check today if my car has the auto dim on the side mirrors. The owners manual doesn't really help us figure...

    Everything went smooth, about 10 minutes to take delivery and the car is great. So much fun to drive but desperately needs tint with a white interior.

    Performance Waiting Room

    In hindsight, I think maybe NOT doing the trade in would have helped me get my car. I really wish Tesla would tell people this if this is the case, because I could just sell my car to CarMax and Lyft over to Tesla on delivery day. I would have done this if I knew it would help.. Instead I still...

    They want you to complete the whole profile, so you must pick one form of payment before. Then just upload your insurance card.

    I wonder if they get commission at Tesla. You can really do the whole process yourself and not see a Tesla rep until delivery day. I also noticed nobody had that sales drive like they do at other dealerships that work on commissions. They let me play around the cars without having a...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I don't have an SA at all. I call Marina Del Rey (pick up spot) if I want to remind Tesla I'm still alive with a driver license. I bought the car from a kid in the almost abandoned Del Amo Mall. I stopped by there again and he had some dope new trap music, but no new car info. His boss told me...

    Online lease calculation unclear

    The net capital cost is $39,990. The true residual value of a three year old model 3 is still an unknown, you would have to ask Tesla what they assume it is. The money factor obviously isn't personalized to your credit score so the only way to figure that is if you know the annual depreciation...

    Yes, Tesla might know. All of the theories about east and west coast vins are really neat but remember you ordered the car from Tesla, not this forum. I still don't have a vin if that makes the theory hold for you.

    Maybe CA has too many 3s right now so we have to wait. :confused:

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    That is hard to predict but I'm on day 40 with no vin to give you an idea. Look at the spreadsheet and scroll to the right to see the wait times recorded on this forum. Some people get lucky but I wouldn't count on luck if you have a lease ending.

    Lease a Bad Idea?

    If you know that you do not want to keep the 3 past three years and that you will stay under 10,000 miles per year, a lease can be a good idea. It sounds like you don't really want a 3 a want something larger? I thought about leasing the BMW228i I have now in 2016, because I knew I wanted a...

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    I would defiantly follow up on this as you clearly intend to buy a car. The $100 for the one you don't buy should go to your Tesla account at least. I like the fact that Tesla doesn't really spend on advertising but they really need to bolster customer service. Also, I used to travel a lot for...

    A bunch showed up down here too, but too many are white M3Ps on 18" aeros. Just seems very odd to me.

    I didn't ask about a batch production. I just stopped by the store I placed the order at to follow up and make sure they didn't forget about me. March 4 was the date they gave for my car.

    I was told March 4 today at a Tesla store. Of course that isn't a guarantee but they didn't mention the Ps being made for late March.

    Not exactly, but you are right given your two choices. I'm Customer 1 but I showed insurance and I'm willing to put more of a deposit down, they just don't accept it. They didn't need to run my credit so they never asked for a credit check. By the way, you don't need to be "willing" if you're...

    I have been told by three Tesla employees at this point that completed profiles get priority. Why and how is a question for Tesla.

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    It was 4-7 when I ordered but looking more like eight weeks now. I had my profile completed from the start but you might need to make sure they have your insurance, because it doesn't always upload correctly.
