Beautiful. How much did this cost?

This is nothing new for Elon, he talks out of his ass on a lot of topics he knows nothing about. I respect Elon where he has expertise but I defer to the doctors and epidemiologists when it comes to matters of the epidemic. Fortunately, Elon is not the embodiment of Tesla, I see no reason to...

If you were dead-set on the car I'd consider starting over and trying again. Tesla supply lines are pretty tight, so if it was determined that something was wrong with your vehicle that couldn't be easily fixed it's going to take them time to get you a new one - at this point by starting over...

Picked it up on Friday 3/13/2020! Configured on 2/6/2020. Delivery experience was awesome, my DA contact was at the service center and was super attentive and friendly. The car was in perfect condition; paint looked excellent, panel gaps were even, no fit & finish issues. I paid via Plaid ACH...

I received about 7 quotes and all of them were above $250/month... except Progressive which offered me $110/month. Full coverage of course. Previously I was paying $130/month just for PIP with Geico on a 2006 salvage title sedan. Glad I'm done with all that. Single, 30s, perfect driving record...

In 2 - 3 weeks.

Well of course it's not every owner, maybe not even most, but it's obviously quite common.

Time in the market > timing the market. Market fluctuations shouldn't impact your spending habits. Buy the car!! :)

According to my DA, the MVPA reflects the total cost of the vehicle before any payments are made, thus the "amount due" on the MVPA does not reflect the $100 already paid, but when Tesla actually pulls up your account you already have a $100 balance in your account.

Only you can answer if it's worth the risk of losing that money in case you need to return the vehicle. It's not as if Tesla or your insurance will reimburse the cost if you do return the vehicle, so maybe waiting through the 7 day return period makes sense. Presumably the car won't suffer much...

Tesla has something of a diminished reputation when it comes to brakes, Elon even admitted there were problems back in 2018 when consumer reports found that the model 3 had the worst 60 to 0 braking delta of any car tested. I think it's to Elon's credit that he admitted to the issue instead of...

I agree. By "not any time soon" I mean not soon enough where its worth anticipating its arrival. I don't think we'll have real FSD within a decade, but something like "FSD compatible" routes are pretty likely within the next 10 years. Waymo has already shown that FSD is possible for certain...

I have expertise in machine learning systems including computer vision (face and object recognition), but not in the particular area of autonomous vehicles. Admittedly they are not exactly the same, but there is some overlap.

No way. I LOVE tesla, I'm totally obsessed, but FSD isn't a thing and won't be for the foreseeable future despite what Elon says; the problem is just way too complex for current technology. Likely within the next 10 years you'll have certain routes in certain cities that are "FSD compatible" and...

Does your hubby use an iPhone or Android? Ask him if he regrets the decision and would prefer to revert back to the old paradigm with devices like blackberry or nokia. If he scoffs at the idea as ridiculous then you've got him hooked. Tesla is the iPhone of cars, a serious paradigm shift that...

lol! I'm in the same boat, I have 16 days left on my wait and I have been trying to hold out on replacing the back tires on my ICE, but it's going to be a close call.

Delivery text! Scheduled for pickup on 3/13/2020! Ordered 2/6/2020 LR AWD silver/white sport. VIN showed up 3 days ago. Had to call up my credit union to extend my loan offer since the delivery date falls a week after the expiration but they extended it to 60 days so all's good! Now that that's...

vin in source today. ordered on 2/6/2020 silver/white AWD LR. Called Tesla, they estimate 2nd week of March but they said I'll receive a text to schedule the real date some time next week.

Looks like TX is getting LR AWD deliveries recently.

You can also type Tesla.ProductF.Data.Vin into the debug console on the manage page.

Interesting. I did the same thing as you but have a few more weeks before delivery, however I confirmed that my DA did set it up because my name is listed as a referral inside my friend's Tesla account. If you used a public code from someone you don't know this may not be possible, but a friend...

No need to cancel, just ask the DA to add it to the account.

I ordered on Feb 6 2020 and the $100 is subtracted from my order total so this information can't be accurate. My order screen looks similar to the one posted by mattack4000 above showing a $100 deduction from the total.

It's a tradeoff. Tesla batteries are horrible for the environment but not all environmental harm manifests the same way. Runoff from mining and old batteries seeps into the water, but the pollutants are concentrated in smaller areas unlike fossil fuels which have similar concentrated areas but...

Looks like lots of text updates today, just received one as well. 3-5 weeks for LR AWD Midnight/White/Sport on the east coast. Original estimate 4-7 Not sure how to update the spreadsheet tho.

Not as of yet, so I have been quite obsessively refreshing and spamming Tesla.ProductF.Data.Vin into the chrome debug console

Yeah. I'm in a similar boat, I wouldn't say I have any particular loyalty to Tesla, but I am impressed by their leadership in the space and definitely feel positively about the brand compared to competitors at this time, but I felt the same way about the iPhone back in 2008, yet here I am in...

Nice! Congrats! I haven't received any texts either, I'm hoping to turn out like you! lol

LR AWD - Midnight Silver - White Seats - Sport Wheels, no FSD. Ordered on 2/6/2020 with 4-7 weeks estimate. I received a call from a local DA and he collected my current insurance, driver's license and referral code. Radio silence since then... the anticipation is... considerable. I've been...

The mach-e is to the tesla what Android was to iPhone. Ultimately, Apple was way ahead of the game, just like Tesla, and like Ford, Google saw the writing on the wall and understood that they had to follow the new paradigm shift, but it took Android a long time to catch up and be truly...
