    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Picked it up today. Everything was good except the voice command button on the yoke does not work, so waiting for a replacement to come in for a fix. Otherwise went smoothly.

    Model S Suspension Clunk Diagnosis

    Is this just the battery? It will sometimes make a thunking noise like this related to equalizing pressures (usually when it's colder outside).

    1,674 Miles in on my '21 Model 3... All door speakers and subwoofers = dead.

    That sucks, seems like you got unlucky. Every car will have a subset that will have some unlikely failure right off the bat, you just have to hope it’s not you. My wife’s friend just bought a brand new SQ5. Less than a week in and they had intermittent issues where pressing the gas pedal gave...

    HYEVOLT Titanium Lug Nuts - Affordable, Lightweight, and Strong! Survived One Lap of America!

    I really wanted to get the Hyevolt ones. They are a good price and I thought it would be cool to support someone here, but the sizes just didn’t work for me. The short ones are just too short, but I thought 40 mm were too long, at least for me, for the SV 104. I wanted something a little...

    FS: New 2021 M3P 20" Uberturbine Wheels & Tires

    Yeah, if you're in Australia, it'd be extremely expensive, probably not realistically doable.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Well, if you keep it, the good news is it would be unlikely you have to deal with them for a while since the car needs so little maintenance and you can easily rotate tires elsewhere. I know quite a few owners and few have needed any service. We did have to bring my wife’s Y in for a coolant...

    So now the real question: How are you enjoying driving it?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I think, at least before the refresh, there were still inconsistencies. I did see multiple people talking about the ones at the refresh event looking really good, and I think Motor Trend mentioned the one they got their hands one looked very good, but those are obviously selected, so who knows...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I think everyone has different expectations for their cars (and products in general), and it's totally fine for them to be different. I think you have to be realistic with your expectations for a Tesla. It's simply not as well put together as a Porsche, Audi, etc. It is what it is. I don't mean...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I had never done it before either, and decided to do it myself using GTechniq Crystal Serum Light. I did it the day after delivery, and it was surprisingly easy. Topped it with their Exo topper. Glad I did it myself versus paying way more for someone else to do it. Definitely a good option if...

    FS: New 2021 M3P 20" Uberturbine Wheels & Tires

    At this point, want to sell both. They are mounted/balanced, and I think it makes more sense to keep them together. Will drop price to $2700 for local buyers obo.

    Switching Out Uberturbines Upon Delivery - How do you actually do it?

    I did this after taking delivery a little over a week ago. I had the wheels I was switching to in my wife’s car. We picked up the 3, and then drove directly to a Discount Tire where I had an appointment set up. They swapped them out with the new tires I bought from them. Then I took the...

    Vendor Official Signature Wheel Gallery | Fitment Q&A Thread

    Yes. They are M14x1.5 and acorn/conical. The reason they say the extra bit about making sure they fit, is that the OEM wheels use 22 mm hex, which is too big for some aftermarket wheels. Many aftermarket lugs are 19 mm for this reason. Signature are designed to fit the OEM lugs, so the 22 mm hex...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I'm glad you accepted it. I know it wasn't easy for me, but I hope you let some of the small things go and just enjoy the car for what it is, because it can be really fun to drive. I think these types of forums get people whipped into a frenzy about QC issues and set impractical expectations. Do...

    I paid cash for mine using a personal check, so I assume that is also okay for a down payment.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I think they are just automated emails. I got an email basically every day after receiving my VIN until delivery telling me to complete my final tasks (final payment). I was paying cash and did not pay until delivery day. I think they just have automated emails for this now though.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    What I would do (or think I would do) is wait until the end of June to see if they get a new car. I would not take the demo, especially without a discount. If a car is delivered by June 30th, and it was acceptable, I'd take it. If July 1 hits and no car, I'd probably be 50/50 on canceling and...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    You still have a decent chance of a car coming before the end of June. If you can stand it, might be worthwhile to wait it out till then and if you've still got nothing, probably time for the other M3.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    The E-Tron GT is nice, and the RS version is very appealing, but it's way overpriced. One of the biggest hurdles other car manufacturers have is charging infrastructure. It's fine as long as it's only a commuter car and you don't need it for trips, but once you do, you realize how terrible...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    It's actually pretty good. I thought there was a small crack in the roof glass but it ended up being glue that could be scraped off. The paint is actually quite good, without any major problems. Would be similar to what I'd expect from similarly priced cars (all of which have some paint issues)...

    It's not. When we bought my wife's Y, we paid by check after inspecting the car and accepting delivery. I'm picking up today, and will do the same thing.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Is Arizona one of the few states where you have to pay before delivery? I know there are a few, which is unfortunate. I'm paying cash, but they will get a check after I've looked at the car, not before. Having to pay before the car is even there is unfortunate.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yeah, it takes a hiccup in the process to expose how bad it is. The good news is if you stay with the Tesla, you will likely not have to see them very much because of limited maintenance. And if you do have a service issue, our experience has been fine. They are both good cars (hence my plans to...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    The reality is Tesla has terrible customer service. It was not always that way when they were smaller, but they currently have demand that outpaces supply and they’ve decided to let their customer service turn to garbage. The cars themselves are good once you get them and most people don’t have...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I'm biased since I have a set of SV104 sitting in my garage waiting for me to pickup my car on Tuesday, but I would definitely recommend Signature, it's worth the little bit extra. Titans are good wheels, too, but you'll get to pick your exact spec for the wheels and get exactly the fitment you...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I got mine a few days ago, picking up in Renton on the 8th. Had a pickup available on the 5th but am working. They said they are not doing deliveries on the 6th or 7th either for whatever reason.

    Martian Wheels MW03 - New discussion thread

    Maybe a dumb question, but when and where did you get the AS4 in 245/40/19? I am taking delivery on the 8th and was going to swap to AS4 in 245/40/19 on my SV104s but I was told they could not get that size currently, saying it was not coming out till next month. I thought that sounded...
