They’re weirdly, hostilely unwilling to do it. They claimed they “tried” to transfer mine, which was an obvious lie. I’m still bitter!

Just a note in case it’s helpful to others: I had some fairly major cosmetic issues with my car, which Tesla adequately resolved. I took home delivery of my LR AWD at the end of March. Within 24 hours I reported five problems, listed below. It took almost a month to get the replacement interior...

May I ask how long it took? And did Tesla give you any paperwork showing they registered for the transfer? I got my car almost a month ago and I still don’t have new plates or a confirmation the transfer went through. Thank you!

TWINSIES. I have exactly that car, but I haven’t sprung for AB yet. I’ve loved it. 0 buyer’s remorse. The range question is hard to answer, in part because the PS4S will have different rolling resistance than the tires as-tested. The 19s also add some extra unsprung weight that will affect...

I’m not on time-of-use yet, but I am on the green power plan, so I’m just south of $.10/kWh. I plan to swap to time of use as soon as my L2 charger is set up.

Thank you both for your responses! It sounds like setting up my L2 charger (240v*48a) and disabling sentry mode will fix the power consumption and save me $20-30 per month. I appreciate it.

Hi everyone. I have a dumb question. I purchased my LR on March 26. I just received my first post-purchase electric bill, through April 14 for 19 days of ownership. I leave the car plugged in with sentry on, and charged at home for about 500 miles of driving in that time (plus 200 miles on a...

Regarding suspension performance, I’m coming from a late model wrx (and an e92 335i before that), and I really don’t mind the LR suspension. Could it be better on the track? I’m sure. Does it feel tight and response on the street and twisties? Yes. It’s a very competent compact performance...

Took delivery today in Portland! Ordered 2/21, delivered 3/26, worth the wait. What a great car. Some minor scratches and a very mysterious imperfection in the clear coat. The employee who delivered the car was as concerned about the paint issue as I was, and seemed confident it could be fixed...

Nice.

They told me the cards and paperwork would be inside and I could unlock the car with the app. We’ll see! I don’t know about rejection. I’m not inclined to reject unless the car has a serious, irreparable problem.

Home. Apparently they don’t even ring the doorbell. The car will just show up, like a $50,000 Christmas present.

I called the SC. They confirmed my car will arrive today and shifted delivery from Sunday morning to tomorrow morning. AHHHHBBHHHHHHHHHHBBBHHHBHHHHH

Heck yeah you did!!!

They generally only deliver within 25 miles.

Yeah, in the last hour. I still show three to six weeks delivery.

Woohoo! Got a vin. Blue/black with 18s ordered 2/21 in Portland. 937 VIN.

Lol. I’m back to 3-6 weeks.

I called the SC about this. The confirmed the car on existing inventory is pre-production. They looked at my account and confirmed that I’ve been “matched to a slot” for a car to be built by Wednesday, with anticipated delivery to Portland “by the end of the week,” and I wouldn’t get the...

I just saw a car in existing inventory that exactly matches my order. Fingers crossed that means good things.

The “order now” estimate for Portland model 3s just went from 1-2 weeks to ... 1-12.

The latest VIN assignment in the spreadsheet for last quarter was Dec 28, delivered Dec 31 in CA. So I plan to start worrying March 28.

You’re asking this so often that you’re starting to stress ME out. For goodness sake, CHILL. You’ll get your car!

In past quarters - and particular Q4 2020 - Tesla has thrown in some bonuses for delivery late in the quarter. The last one was one year of free supercharging and a three month trial of FSD.

My delivery estimate went to 3-6 weeks a few days ago. Now it’s back to hard dates: March 24 to 31. Still no VIN. Anyone have guesses about whether we’ll see incentives? Looks like they were announced on the 27th last quarter.

Same here.

Sell it through Carmax or a similar service?

Your SA should have told you how long the rate lock is good for. Call or email them. Assuming your credit score or utilization ratio didn’t suddenly get worse, this is ... odd. Most folks’ rates have been going down this month, not up.

The graduation will occur in 6-8 weeks after Model 3 delivery. Or May 15-30. Or in 4-5 weeks. Or April 1-6. Or -. Or 6-8 weeks after Model 3 delivery.

You’re totally right - my bad. Thanks for the correction.

That’s a 10-30 plug. At 240v / 25 amps, it will charge at just above 6 kw, which is plenty for routine daily charging for a commute, but might be frustrating if you need to quickly charge from empty to full. A NEMA 14-50 will charge at 40 amps, or about 60% quicker. A Tesla (or juice box or...

Thank you! I’m going to give it a try. Did you talk to Tesla about it? They told me they’d need to charge me the normal registration fees, but they’d refund them later once the plate transfer takes effect, which seems ... odd.

The Kona she was looking at is an electric.

Not necessarily sequential. And it probably doesn’t matter: There seems to be a consensus that everything >901 has all the recent features.

I’m annoyed at the lack of information. But several of you seem to think you won’t get cars this quarter. Am I missing something? My SA keeps telling me my car will show up by the end of the month. Most of the east coasters on the spreadsheet now have VINs, and it’s rolling west. Looking at...

Yup. I park in my driveway and would never use Homelink.

It’s objectively great, but you might be able to do even better if you email the finance inbox. Some folks have reported as low as 1.84% after asking for reconsideration.

I’m moving the wrong direction. I just went from 17-28 to 17-31.

Has anyone in Oregon transferred plates from an old ICE vehicle to a new Tesla? The DMV website says you may do this for “the same type of vehicle,” using the example of RV-to-RV. But I don’t know whether an electric car, which has higher registration fees than an ICE car, is the same type of...

I wouldn’t hold your breath. It’s completely speculative that either of the pending bills will pass. And they almost certainly won’t clear the 60-vote threshold to overcome the filibuster, which means they’ll be enacted (if at all) through reconciliation, likely as part of the FY22 budget in the...

There are two LRs (black and blue, both with white interior) in Seattle existing stock, and two SR+s in Portland existing stock. We’re getting close!

There’s a MSM on black M3P in Seattle existing stock. I’m trying to talk myself out of asking my SA to swap me to it and grabbing it this weekend. I don’t need it! Acceleration boost will do it for me, and I can wait two more weeks, and I want blue anyway. Right?

Congrats! Going by the sheet, it looks like most east coasters have VINs, and maybe a little ahead of last quarter’s schedule. I bet us west coasters will see them soon

I feel pretty good about my DIY skills. My partner feels less good about my DIY skills. I think I’m comfy with keeping 100amp service. Our major appliances are all gas. AC, the dryer, and my power tools are the only major electrical draws, and of those the AC is the only one that will...

Multnomah, 100 amp, directly next to the panel with a short conduit run. I haven’t spoken to permitters yet. The electricians who didn’t recommend upgrading the service saw no safety or usability issue with the 100 watt panel. And as a practical matter, I’ll charge at night almost exclusively...

Makes sense. I’m lucky that my install location is right next to the panel, so the materials cost is minimal.

Can I ask what you’ve been quoted for install in Seattle? My lowest quote among four electricians in Portland was $550, or a total of $4200 including a panel upgrade to 200amps - the electricians disagree about whether that’s necessary.

Varies by state. If you’re in certain states and already have insurance on a current vehicle (including your trade in vehicle) you can upload proof of that insurance.

That must be really frustrating. How bad was it? Do you have an ETA for a replacement?
