    (Beware)Financing APR changed by Tesla within two weeks of approval. [in 2019]

    This thread really needs to have its name changed to “well fargo changed my rate”. Tesla is not and has not been a financial provider.

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    For those that are saying that the interior dimensions of the new passenger floor area have changed. Are you sure you’ve pushed the carpet all the way to the console/tunnel area? Apparently Tesla has been forgetting to do so—and it’s a pretty big difference (like 2 inches or so). I’m just...

    New Delivery? IRON decon right away!

    No pics because it was fairly late last night but holy cripes… just took delivery of my White SR+ on Saturday and noticed rusting iron bits all over the hood—and indeed all over the car. I used the Adams remover and it did okay (iron x is better)but man—the entire car was bleeding purple...

    Home Delivery from Third Party?

    Not true. Many folks are having their vehicles driven to them by service center employees and then the employee takes an Uber back to work

    Loose rear fender liner retainer nuts

    Meh, happens with other manufacturers as well. My GTI still had the suspension brace pucks that were supposed to be removed from the dealership as pre-delivery.

    MVPA/Lending Agreement can’t eSign, delivery tomorrow

    That’s part of the paperwork you sign when you pick the vehicle up—not before. Notice on the e-paperwork they have your delivery date for all of the dates—you wouldn’t want to sign it before that date anyways.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Should be noted that at least here in the US, the tax benefit highly depends on which state you live in—for example: Virginia does not reduce your tax liability for vehicle trade in.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Did you purchase it outright or have financing/lease? If you financed you aren’t going to get the title till you pay off the loan.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Out of curiosity, why are you having GM buy the bolt back versus selling to vroom,Carvana etc…?

    Yep unfortunately. says it right on the configurator page

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I am now under the impression that everyone at the Tysons VA SC perished in a horrible party-bus accident…. I’ve called no less that 3 times every hour both today and yesterday with no response—just voicemail.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Fffffffffff!!!!!!!!! just got my delivery notification asking to schedule between the 15-17th…. My family vacation starts on the 15th. interestingly my payment portal opened up today as well—-my SA said that would only happen w/in 24 hours of actually being able to take delivery—hopefully I...

    Sell Model 3 and wait for tax change?

    Or a booster seat :)

    Discussion: Tesla Vision system for Model 3/Y

    My guess; if the United States would actually change our archaic headlight/illumination laws the system would work MUCH better. Something that isn’t being mention on these forums is the fact that the new headlights (adaptive) are supposed to have features to prevent blinding oncoming traffic...

    Unhappy with how trade in value decreased for unexplained reason [2021]

    Holy wall of text. But here’s my take: If you don’t like Tesla’s offer, don’t take it. Personally Tesla offered 14.5k for my car and I ended up selling to Vroom for 20500. Tesla does not resale vehicles on their lots—they only sell them to auction. vroom, Carvana, CarMax etc… will all take...

    You’ve clearly never encountered DC/Maryland drivers lol.

    For those hesitant to give Plaid your credentials when paying...

    exactly. On a personal level I wouldn’t be okay doing this—however as a cyber security professional, I’m even less inclined to trust any of this information (encrypted or not) to just anyone. The less that information is out, the better in general.

    Just got a VIN! ordered 3/31. SR+ White/Black, Aero, no FSD. Virginia.

    Higher base price as well

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    S per my SA the profile/line spot only relies on two things—deposit ($100) and competing the registration/pickup location section of your account. asked about finance section and advisor stated it would be foolish for the company to allocate VINs based off of method as 1)payment could be...

    For those hesitant to give Plaid your credentials when paying...

    Plaid is a third party financial processing company that is contracted with Tesla

    What's in the delivery box?

    From what I understand certain states get the emergency inflation kit

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I have a feeling that at least for the United States, the shortage of truck drivers right now may be impacting deliveries to the SCs/holding lots.

    Calm down there lol. I ordered w/pickup at tysons March 31st—still no vin. You have a ways to go

    How does Tesla choose who gets their car first?

    No info other than deliveries have started for the quarter, but I just haven't been assigned a VIN yet.

    How does Tesla choose who gets their car first?

    Same, March 31st. I love how you’ll have folks that will say “most of the March orders have been filled…” with zero evidence. Tons of us from March still waiting.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    He’s gonna have to pay the new price. And yes—he hasn’t waited very long at all.

    3/31 order for Northern Virginia (Tysons)…. Still no VIN. sad

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Define “less car”. The exclusion of unneeded/extra sensors doesn’t mean you are getting “less car”.

    Geico = gouge-co

    I’d make a suggestion to anybody regarding insurance—shop around every 6 months no matter how good of a rate you think you may currently have.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Lol, I’m not convinced that deliveries DO work at this point.

    Tesla: Please fix the stinky AC - here's how with an OTA update

    So then why the stinky AC smell of the car is already doing it?

    Geico = gouge-co

    Yep. Had geico for my fams previous two vehicles and the quote alone to update one of them to a ME SR+ was about another 1k for 6 months. Promptly kicked them to the curb and haven’t looked back. Shifted to progressive and saved a *sugar*-ton. also: I’m in the northern VA area as well.

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    I hate to be that “guy” but this isn’t accurate in the slightest. I’ve talked to probably 5 SAs at multiple locations who have said the exact same thing. The only thing that matters when it comes to VIN prioritization is the initial deposit date and your profile submission. I asked to clarify...

    Discussion: Tesla Vision system for Model 3/Y

    I mean I guess in a round about way that’s my point. In these conditions I’d really want to take full control myself, and any automatic systems would probably only mess things up. for reference: I loved my GTI Autobahn and it’s automatic systems (used radar) however I can legitimately only...

    Discussion: Tesla Vision system for Model 3/Y

    Not exactly sure I understand or could get behind the line of questioning “but what about fog/really bad weather?”. I’d never trust autopilot WITH radar let alone without in horrible weather conditions.

    Vendor New Ottosteer Front License Plate Fast Release Bracket

    How is this not a "snapplate"? Design looks eerily similar all the way down to the anti-theft torx screw.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Neg. times quoted have always been from order date. I think this is just an omission—they’ve been doing quite a bit of website development lately.

    Ridiculous Tesla Trade-In Policy [tesla will only take trade in on vehicle delivery]

    This is where I’d need to chime in with *verify your local laws in your tax locality* For instance here in Virginia—there is zero tax benefit of a trade in. we also get hosed on any and all referral incentives. Stupid VA laws….

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks for the recon! I have a feeling that Tysons has a parking lot off-site that may have more as well--its a pretty small area and the parking kinda sucks.

    Multiple breakers tripping when I charge

    Of course the builder is going to say the wiring is fine and blame the Tesla charger. Call an independent electrician out and have them take a look at it ASAP. Even w/out the Tesla charger connected, there is something very wrong going on inside that panel or downstream.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Eh, I ordered late March and don’t have one yet. Perhaps mid-March?
