    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    In my case, as much as my FJ Cruiser, 2021 C8 Corvette and a tiger moth trailer combined!

    Differences Between Mid-2018 Model S and Mid-2023 Model S

    They will not ask you for it and if they do you’re not going to give it to them. I guarantee you they’re not pricing that into the offer that you’re getting. Moreover, you can rest assured that if it was important to them it would be included in the instructions that you must bring the cables...

    Light show update trunk?

    Initial behavior my 2021 M3P was what you say [only opened about an inch and then closed], but that was only once the very first time. Since then, it doesn't do anything. Everything else seems to work the way it supposed to. By contrast, my wife's 2020 MYLR works perfectly. Of course she...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I haven't posted here much since I finally got my M3P in December, but I was driving around in my FJ cruiser yesterday and spotted this truck which should make at least four or M3P folks in Southern Nevada happy!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    So, we're also considering buying a new house and my loan officer explained to me that multiple inquiries with in a 30 day period (where your shopping around for a loan) do not have the same impact as when you have an inquiry that's outside of that 30 day. One looks like shopping for a good...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    it is 60 days and that's exactly what happened to me back in December. Approval ran out two days before I took delivery. ಠ_ಠ So, you end up with another hard inquiry and if it's outside of 30 days that's a double hit. That would not of happened to me if the promise that was mean to me had been...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Good point. In both of my purchase scenarios, there were no comparable cars to test drive. The Y's didn't exist at the time of order and no refreshed 2021 M3Ps existed either. My wife's Y was the first time either of us ever set foot in a Tesla, though we had a Leaf beforehand.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    It was explained to me that at the time of your order, everyone is assigned a SA. You can call the 800 number, enter your zip and whoever answers should be able to give you your SA's name. That's how I got my SA's info. After that we exchanged texts and calls throughout the process. Before I...

    No. They are plastic so they had to be painted separately. Just glossy black spray paint.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yes. Often. In my car its a deep "growl" seems to be related to the heat pump. I don't know if it's supposed to be normal or not but while I'm sure I should be annoyed, I kind of like it. It's almost like the car is alive and angry. I can also say that my wife's model y also has the octovalve...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Chill mode and performance mode is the difference between having faster acceleration. Once you purchase the $2000 speed boost on either the Y or the 3 the word "normal" is replaced with "sport." It's branding, semantics and software.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    We own on a model Y long range and my father bought a model Y performance. I have a 2021 model 3 performance. Simply put, the car as is the case with most, handles much better than the SUV even the performance variant. It's not even close. The performance Y handles better than the long range...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Can now confirm nominal 82kWh battery. But still only showing 310 miles of topped of range. I'm sure software will deal with that.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yes, I get most of my info from “Yo what’s up” Bjorn! He’s how I stayed sane-ish while waiting to get the car! LOL! Also, our Y has the denser cells. I remember Bjorn being surprised at the slower charging. I just wish we had the bill of lading or whatever it is that the Europeans get that...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Thanks I have been seeing that we probably had the newer battery and I suspected that it was a software issue. I'm actually getting the data from the Stats app. two additional questions since you seem to be in the know. 1. How are you able to determine the existence of the 82 kW battery? I...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I know this isn't the right thread but I don't really know my way around very well here. Has anybody else noticed that there M3P does not show 315 miles on a full charge? I'm only charging to 90% but stats indicates that if I were out of 100% I would only have 309 miles. I apologize for being...

    My car was home delivered in Las Vegas. 9 miles on the odometer. That included having to drive it to my house from the service center.

    Regarding the Lucid. I hope it works out but I just can't get over how ugly I think it is. I'm literally repulsed by the design of the car.

    It’s rumored that they might be with some future update. This is on par with the heated steering wheel rumors.

    About the new headlights, I'm 87xxxx and the car clearly has them. I'm gonna see it it may be an unpopular and opinion but I don't really like them. I love projector headlights they looked great on my infinity, C7 and my wife's X3 -- but, on this car they just look slapped in there for...

    It's this set. It was made for the pre-'21 car but the pieces that don't work for me (center console junk) can go in my wife's 2020 Y. I'm happy with the mats. Vanku Complete Set Floor Mats for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKR3B1Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    A little bit delayed from when I was expecting. But as promised, pics 'cause it happened. The car arrived last night within the window promised (4pm PST). But the young lady who delivered the car was as she stated brand new and kind of created a problem. When it came time for me to except...

    IDK, the FSD seems like a kick in the nutz to those who desperately want to take delivery but can’t to no fault of their own. I already paid for FSD so wouldn’t motivate me one way or another. But, I’m just barely gonna make it under the wire so I know I’d be EXTRA pissed seeing folks who...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Well folks, it looks like I might be heading out of the waiting room. If anybody's been following my individual saga you know that I ordered on 10/17/20 and am in Nevada. I finally got my VIN number on Christmas morning and on 12/26 was allowed to schedule home delivery for 12/30. Well, I...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    In my experience when the date disappeared the algorithm (or someone) has been thinking deeply about the logistics of getting me a car and invariably (only happened twice) the date range was more specific and directly in line with what is now supposed to be my actual delivery date. Good luck!

    10/17 order, received VIN Christmas morning. Literally checked after we finished presents and it was there. Thanks Santa. I have been pretty good this year!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yup. This. Doesn't do any good toward meeting the goal to "try" and deliver a bunch of cars no one will accept.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    all perhaps true, but this was originally offered as a blanket statement that there would be no more M3Ps >>produced<< until March. Precisely zero cars are produced in Canada. So, the application was that no additional cars were going to be made for many of us. That turned out not to be true...
  34. D

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Just circling back to this. Obviously the report that no new MP3s were being produced until March was incorrect. My car I had not been manufactured win that was posted. At this point, my SA has been completely transparent and accurate. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like all SAs are created...

    My VIN just showed up on my account page. No notice no warning. Just prior to that occurring my date range vanished. The delivery scheduling notification came via text.

    I have never been more frustrated with car buying experience than this. No vin, 12/24-12/3. Just clicking down the days. Ughh.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Something similar happened when we ordered our Model Y. They told us that they thought something had happened to the car or it didn't pass fail inspection. It took about a week before we got another one.
  42. D

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    My dates are back too. Still 12-21 to 12-31. No VIN.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Woke up to this. This is the first time I've ever had no estimated delivery in either weeks or specific date range. Is this good or bad?

    10/17 victim checking in. I still have nothing, but promises. The curse is real.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Was literally told, just yesterday, that I've been soft matched with a car M3P that is supposed to be arriving in Las Vegas around 12/24. Both cannot be true. We will know soon enough. The scheduling system knows what cars are being built. The fact that it took away the vague "X to Y weeks" and...

    I would take that with a grain of salt and it's definitely going to need corroboration.
