Well, as of this morning, I had a reservation for a LR MY White. It was saying estimated delivery Oct 5-25. We decided to change our reservation to a performance version, not because of the delivery dates, but because we wanted the performance features, so I sent them an email requesting a...

People tend to forget that the sun doesn't shine 100% of the time. With a system like his, he can keep his house off grid for many days at a time even when there's little to no sun or wind. Eventually, all homes will have this kind of storage capability (and more) IMO and coal fired power...

This is awesome! That's my dream set up. We currently have 2 Powerwall 2's in our house, grid-tied and charged from a 12.5 kW solar array. I would love to do some wind turbines too. I definitely want to add more Powerwalls, but I'm waiting for the next generation with hopes that it will have...

Here’s mine currently

Hi all, wanting to see some pics of your MSM with black wheels. I have a 2021 LR AWD that so far I've got 20% tinting and front clear PPF. The only other thing I'm considering is either powder coating my current wheels black or getting a set of aftermarkets. But, can't decide if I will like...

Thanks! Not sure on name yet, haha. Anyway, happy new year to all. It was fun having a place to obsess while waiting for this car. I'll be back when it comes time to get a cybertruck;)

Finally got it! Overall it was in excellent shape. We found a small ding/dent over the rear driver side wheel. But otherwise beautiful condition. The drive home was so much fun. Coming from a BMW i3 this car seems crazy fast! And I haven’t even done the acceleration boost yet. Very pleased overall

That's a very good thought. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided earlier in the year to really push the LR and SR models. In the very near future none of this will matter when they get their new factories up and running. They'll be able to churn out cars so much faster than they are doing...

Same here. Mine will be a work horse. I don't care if it's "showroom perfect" I just don't want any leaks or mechanical issues like doors that don't close right or whatever.

Good to hear! I will look at my handles tomorrow and let you know. Not heard of anyone else complaining of that though.

WOW! That's a great offer, seriously. I would take it. The LR AWD with boost is only 0.6 secs slower than a M3P. 3.7 vs 3.1 is not that drastic of a difference. Anywhere in the 3's is an incredibly fast car, especially compared to 95+% of other cars on the road.

Highly unlikely you'll see 4680 cells anytime soon. Elon was very clear at battery day that they were still "a few years" away from mass production of the 4680 cells. They are just in testing phase right now as they learn how to manufacture them at scale. But, I do feel sorry for you...

My car arrived!! I decided on a whim to drive by the Cincinnati SC this morning on my way to work hoping I might see a delivery truck on its way in or just to see all the new cars on the lot. Much to my surprise I happened to time my drive by perfectly (pure luck!) and spotted my car sitting...

Not sure, but I think I’ve read that others have asked the SA to unlock it first for inspection. But who knows

Ugh, I actually chose Model 3 over Model Y specifically because I assumed they would have had all these quality control issues worked out by now. I am going to really look hard for this stuff on delivery day. I will not accept if there are door closing issues like this or interior defects like...

Elon just tweeted that all deliveries the last 3 days of the year will come with 3 months of free FSD! Will be fun to see if it’s really worth it or not

That’s awesome! My delivery is scheduled for Thursday at 3pm. Fingers crossed the delivery truck arrives tomorrow on time as they say it’s supposed to!!

Good luck with your delivery! Hope it’s a beauty! I just got a text that my car is now expected to arrive tomorrow, so I should be on track to pick up on Thursday right after work. yippee!

I think Tesla is intentionally torturing me...this morning my phone rings and it’s my Service Advisor’s number on caller ID so I get all excited and answer thinking it’s going to be “the call” to go get the car. But nope, it was an automated message reminding me of my appointment for Thursday...

I think we're going to see that electric cars have the potential to last a lot longer than ICE cars IMO. Simpler machines, fewer points of failure over time. The problem with Teslas at the moment is that everyone wants the latest and greatest vehicle so they trade in their "old" ones for...

Yeah I do wonder/hope they are just pushing my delivery date back so they can squeeze in others that maybe were delayed over the weekend or something and that they secretly know my car will definitely be ready. Maybe I should go stalk the SC and check all the VINs on the lot, lol.

So now they are telling me the ETA is 12/31 and I’m re-scheduled for 3pm Thursday. Looks like I might be one of the last deliveries of the year lol. *might be is the key phrase. I am having doubts that I’ll see a car this week at all. If I miss out on the free supercharging I’ll probably request...

Well that’s better news than they are telling me. I got the following text just now... “Good afternoon - Tesla Cincinnati here - we are seeing logistics delays due to severe weather along our transit routes. We will need to move your pick up pick up appointment back. We do not have a solid ETA...

I think it’s fairly likely there may be inventory available Jan 1st. I’m still seeing availability in their existing inventory online. And there may be people who cancel after missing the end of year delivery.

Probably not worth rejecting it. Just schedule a service appt

Smaller wheels with larger tires are generally going to be safer in the mid-west with all the crazy pot-holes we're usually exposed to, especially in the winter. The type of tire you choose will have a bigger impact on winter driving than anything. 20" wheels means your winter tire options will...

You're probably right. I see now that hopefully he meant more man power at the end of the production line so there aren't delays due to quality issues.

Lol, looks like he's saying not to waste time with quality control too.. "Particular help would be appreciated at end of the line to ensure cars built now are able to be delivered immediately without any further improvements in PDI, as there simply isn’t enough time to do so." PDI =...

I thought this was a picture of Anthony Bourdain standing next to a Tesla at first glance, lol

Thanks for the info. I guess what they say is true. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I actually love the look of the new 19" sport wheels (in person and in pictures). I do not like the old ones at all in fact. When the refresh came out, I liked the new wheels so much that I decided to...

That sucks. Not looking good for me then. I’ve been kind of skeptical about actually getting it before the new year. I guess we’ll see what happens. Fortunately I dont need the car desperately or anything. I am just driving myself nuts with excitement though

Thanks for the info. That gives me an excuse to message my SA again, lol. Will see what they say.

My 859XXX isn't scheduled to arrive to Cincinnati until 12/29 with delivery scheduled 12/30. So if you get yours on Tuesday, that's even stranger. Maybe ours are on the same truck/train and they will stop here first on the way to you;)

My daughter got a Tesla before me. No fair!

The current sale is 20% off, so better than the referral codes. It's automatic, no code needed.

Interesting. My build date is supposedly 12/10 and my VIN is 859XXX. Tesla makes no sense, haha. I have a MSM with 19" wheels no fsd black int picking up 12/30 (hopefully).

How old is your son? If he's in his 20's, there's no convincing him of practicality, lol. He just wants to impress girls (although most girls don't care about cars). Anyway, I was torn between the two as well. I went with LR AWD plus boost because the 6k you spend on the performance version...

ingenext modules are on sale right now for 20% off! I just ordered the boost 50 for my LR AWD Model 3. If I had the car and could confirm a 980 motor, I would get the ghost, but will have to wait and see if I got lucky or not (I know it's not likely at all with a 2021, but I can dream can't I?)

Well the M3P is not that much faster but is quite a bit more expensive and comes with wheels I don't want. SO it would also cost me 3k for new wheels plus I would have to try to sell the wheels it comes with. The LR AWD with the ingenext module is still $5,600 cheaper than the model 3 perf and...

The ingenext modules are 20% off right now. Just picked up the boost 50 for only $880! Heck of a lot better than $2k from Tesla and it comes with extra features, though I doubt I will use the extras much.

Yes, they have to protect the battery from hard drains when it's cold or it can cause damage to the cells. My BMW i3 does the same thing when it's super cold out. It also can't charge as quickly when it's cold. That's why these cars have such sophisticated battery temperature management...

I think you're right and I've been thinking the same thing lately. All of their used Model 3's have FSD. I highly doubt it was actually that popular of an add on for their new cars. They are definitely adding it to their used inventory as a way to force more FSD computers onto the road. They...

Well, kind of, except there are lots of times where you look at the local inventory and it's empty. For instance, there are no model S or X available locally in Cincinnati right now. And there are only a couple demo performance Y's available in other nearby cities. Lots of Model 3's still...

When they are trying to delivery so many cars in such a short period, they are probably super backed up at the body shop too. Plus, it's the holidays. Plus there's a world wide pandemic. It makes sense to me that it would take longer than usual for something like this. Hang in there. Just...

You should have received a text from your local SC with contact info. I got an email address for my SC and that's who's been most responsive. It's "[email protected]". Try inserting your local city/SC city name in place of Cincinnati and send them an email.

I believe the online inventory is not accurate. When I ordered mine, I chose it from the local online inventory and was immediately assigned a VIN. It was the only car with that exact configuration listed. However, that particular car/configuration, never disappeared from their inventory...

I am picking up an 859xxx on Dec 30. It was supposedly built on 12/10.

I'm picking mine up in Cincinnati on Wednesday next week. I'm getting quite impatient, lol. I still check my account multiple times a day for no reason. I'm hoping they arrive earlier than expected!

Yes, that's what I was going to say. Tesla ALREADY lowered the price of it's Model Y. It was more expensive when it first came out and they adjusted it down. A lot of of the first buyers were understandably pissed. I highly doubt we'll see the price go down any further.

I see what you're saying. I wasn't aware the plaid was a new thing. I'm guessing Tesla probably went that route because it takes the risk of dealing with our personal info/bank numbers off their shoulders maybe? Regardless, it was a pretty quick and seamless process which I appreciate. I'll...
