I'm still on 2023.20.7 - from June of last year. I have a 2018 M3P with 2.5 Hardware, maybe the older cars/HW get fewer updates.

My 2018 MP3 now has the same issue. OP, was this resolved?

I had a small spare from my new gen Mustang that fits well. $150 with scissor jack.

I bent a stock Aero wheel on the interstate and had it towed home. I have an extra set of 18" wheels from a 2016 Mustang, and they are the same bolt circle and offset. I'm trying to decide whether to buy one more Aero wheel or use the Mustang wheels instead. My commute is short, I'm not...

After a few days you will learn to modulate the pedal as smoothly as any limo driver, even in full regen.

Thanks folks, I will look around for a competent shop.

Bought a used M3 with pkenty of swirl marks and what moght be tree sap / bird *sugar*. Is this fixable, or do I forget about it? thx, Dean

Pulled off the cover and all looks dry, no signs of leaks. Replaced 2 missing 6mm bolts and trimmed ragged edge. All good. I realized all M3Ps have ‘track mode’ - I thought this was an add-on for $. This thing handles well, even with all-seasons and 42psi :)

Thx folks.

Got a 2018 M3P stealth, 20K miles, $46k. While it was still on the delivery truck, I looked underneath for damage, and found this. Looks old, so I doubt it happened in transport. The rest of the car is in good shape, a few light scratches and chips, but it's been well cared for. I sent the pic...

Got my downpayment refund from Vroom. Now waiting on trade-in check. Once it arrives (knock on wood) I will order a new M3P.

Not physical expansion, the kWh of the battery pack went up a bit in 2021. Slightly diff battery chemistry apparently.

I’ve decided to get a 2021. I didn’t realize the battery pack expanded until today, that tipped it for me. Now I need to learn about the ordering process.

Thanks folks. I’m leaning toward new. I think 3yr resale would make up half of the diff, and I treat cars well. But it’s a tough call.

I just got back feom looking at a 2018 M3P+. 34k miles, EAP, gray paint, 2 rashed wheels, tires need to be replaced. It has a few minor cosmetic issues, and has had body fixed twice, as listed on carfax. Wants $41k which is fair. But- he needs it for another 6 weeks while he waits for a Taycan...

In my contract, my GA sales tax was included and wrapped into the loan. Maybe it is state specific. Today I finally got an email from Vroom (7 days later), they are sending back my downpayment, and will send me a check for my trade value once it's processed. They will also cancel loan, and I...

For me it's been a week since the wrong car arrived, and I've yet to hear from anyone at Vroom. I'm all out of patience, and now I'm trying to cancel the "swap" and just get my downpayment and trade-in money back. I hope this simplifies the process.

Wow, that seems odd. Is the title still in the previous owner’s name? Vroom never took ownership? Still no call for me, tomorrow will be 1 week.

I found a M3P through a private owner about an hour from here. The seller will have it until his Taycan arrives in 2 weeks. If Vroom can't correct my snafu this week, I will cancel. The advantages they have are sales tax savings via my trade, 2% financing, and avoiding the DMV. These are not...

I spent 2 hours on hold, no one can help me. I'm losing my mind with this. I'm considering joining Twitter.

I agree, but I meant the model; like dual motor vs performance. Some show the res line and others don’t. Bastidges :)

This might explain why Vroom isn’t able to ensure Teslas get the software screens photographed consistently.

Spent 115 min on hold today, nothing to report. Maybe I can swap with a low mile 2020 M3P for more $. At least then I will know from VIN it will be a Perf. Avoid Vroom, I predict bankruptcy in 2 yrs.

I hear you, but my situation is different. A Performance model is rated for 450+ hp, and mid 3 sec 0-60. That power will remain no matter who owns the vehicle. Vroom described it as a Performance, and it's not. They are careful not to list Tesla software features that they know won't transfer...

I appreciate the advice. I'm going to give them one more chance, because they have two low-mile M3Ps listed as 'available soon' - a white 2019 and a red 2020. If I can get first refusal for these cars, I will be satisfied. Assuming all else goes smoothly. A lot will depend on how the phone call...

The 2018 VINs for M3 dua motors and M3Ps were not distinct. 8th digit is a B.

Good to know, thanks. My M3 arrived today, but despite the listing description and rear emblem, was not a performance. It went back on the truck. I spent 40 minutes on hold until a pained employee apologized and told me it would be 3-4 days until the ‘buy back dept’ called me back. Knowing...

Ok, that’s exactly what I need, thanks. What a $&@! bummer. I can hear the ‘you should have bought from Tesla’ tight through my screen, and I agree, but at this point I am committed to seeing this through with Vroom, so wish me luck.

Ok, thats a relief. On your M3P, does it list ‘long range’ and ‘dual motor’ like it is in my pic, but with the red line under dual motor? Thanks much.

I just refused delivery of a M3 because it wasnt a performance. It was advertised by Vroom as a 2018 stealth Performance, but I couldn’t find a red underline on the screen. Now I’m worried I wasnt on the right screen, this is my first time in a tesla. Please help. I’m furious, but now worried I...

Excellent. Enjoy it. An update on my Vroom deal - my car should be arriving this week. After days of automated texts, I got a call last night. Now I am waiting for a call from the delivery truck folks. Could be today or tomorrow. The same clunky process is happening with my trade pick-up. I...

Congrats! Pics or it didnt happen.

Yes, I've gotten emails now about separate trucks for Tesla delivery and trade pickup. No actual calls yet, but things are progressing. BTW I had a small heart attack after checking my VIN (8th digit B) against online decoders and getting confused about the Dual Motor vs Performance digits...

Resurrecting this thread from the depths to hopefully resolve some confusion for someone like me. I am under contract for a 2018 M3P with Vroom. 13K miles, squeaky clean. In the Vroom pics, there is no picture of the screen showing the underlined Dual Motor script, just the emblem at the back...

I am trading my car in to Vroom. Saved me a chunk of change in tax. And they found me the best financing rate, so all is being handled through them. Not sure if they can drop off the Tesla and take my trade on the same truck, but that would be convenient.

Today I got my “sale complete” email, with delivery on or around 4/8. For reference this is 2 weeks from the day I made my initial deposit.

Cool, did you do it yourself, or have an electrician do it? Or maybe you are an electrician :) Do you plan on using the mobile charger for everyday duty?

With your paperwork snafu, I'll be impressed if it gets there before the 16th. I'm trading in my daily as well, so I'm driving my old pickup for now. I'm hoping for late next week, but I kinda doubt it.

Me too. All my wet-signed docs arrived back at Vroom on 3/20. I hadn't heard back from them as of this morning, so I called, and they have the docs, and I should hear from delivery folks soon. Sales guy said they are "doing the final check of the vehicle, which takes 2-3 days" Surrrre.

No word back from Vroom about the options on the Tesla I have under contract. I was told a few hours, it's been 2 days. When I first put down the deposit, my original salesperson (Kenneth Varady) was helpful and easy to reach. Since I agreed to buy the car, I can't get him on the phone. Now...

The EAP (and Prem Connectivity) is shown in pictures, but not listed in text on the Vroom listing. I called Vroom again for clarification, and will post their response. I would guess that they are dealing with this issue a lot - there are 192 Model 3s on Vroom right now. There should be some...

Hello, first post, and I'm in the same position. I sent in in my paper contract with the title from my trade, wired the extra DP, and am waiting to hear back about delivery. The salesperson said "I don't know" about the options going with the car. The 2018 M3 Performance shows EAP as an...
