Nice! I’m glad it all worked out for you and your wait is finally over! There is only one certified Tesla Body Shop in Maine that would even take me in so I was kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place with my options. I drive about 50,000 miles a year and not having to worry about charging...

Nice. I’m not even able to get my M3LR in the shop until mid-January. Hit the deer in September. So I’ve been paying to insure a car that I can’t even drive. I went out and bought a new Volvo in the meantime. I’ll have a Model 3 for sale sometime around next spring when it’s finally fixed..

Valid point about the update. Tesla has said they they do not intend to disable the USS’ on vehicles equipped with them… yet. But it’s most likely coming at some point in 2023 or 2024, just like how they disabled the radar units with software updates.

This is agony. You don’t realize how much you rely on EAP and AP until the car basically locks you out. If you haven’t already, try to turn off mobile access, turn off wifi, sentry, and leave it unplugged and locked overnight. See if that does anything. If you haven’t already, definitely book a...

Do the ultrasonic sensors actually detect lines in the road? From my experience, autosteer does not even account for data from the USS’. I’ve had the car almost run into lines of cones on the side of the highway before and not even give a warning. Do I even bother mentioning deer? My Model 3...

Agree. I’ve been about this a bit more throughout the day, and I’m inclined to believe that Tesla will likely disable the sensors in all their cars, regardless of whether they have the sensors or not, as they transition to Tesla Vision. They recently did the same thing with cars equipped with...

That seems early from what I have heard but it makes sense as it falls on the first day of 4Q2022 and there is some lag time between production and delivery, especially in the beginning of the quarter. So right now, it seems most likely that all S/X still be manufactured with USS, and they will...

Yeah, I was pretty upset about this new too and not sure what to think. It is kind of like when I took delivery of my Model 3 LR in May 2021 when they first removed the radar and everything was limited. Autosteer limited to 75 and phantom braking every few miles. I will say, Tesla Vision has...

Thank you, my wife and dogs are alright and the only causality was the deer and the car. Good to know about the tires, as I’m in Maine and it was 24° this morning. As you said, cooler weather arrived earlier then expected this year!

I believe it depends on the date of production. If the car has a Gen 4 ECU, it has CCS adapter compatibility. I have heard they started putting the Gen 4 ECU’a in cars around October 2020. My Model 3 was built on 5/21/21 and claims to be CCS compatible in the software “additional details”...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading through your delivery experience, thank you for sharing. I ordered an MS Plaid on 9/3 (MSM/19"/White Interior/EAP) and have a current EDD of 11/16 - 12/28. I could not be more excited, especially now, as I just hit a deer with my 21' M3LR last week. I will probably...

I got the same text on Thursday. I declined. On 9/1, I ordered an S Plaid with 19" wheels for range and durability (I live in Maine— we have horrible roads) and I am unwilling to compromise on the wheels. My fear was, if I replied "YES" to their text, I would get my order cancelled by...

I'll join the club! Looks like the common denominator here is the MSM paint. Just hit a small deer with my 2021 Model 3 LR at about 45/50 MPH on my way home this afternoon. Living in Maine, it's really only a matter of time before this happens. The deer came out of nowhere so fast. Hopefully...

Everyone talking about delaying delivery and all I want is a VIN! I don’t really care if it’s a model year 22 or 23, I just want a car. I suppose I am impatient. EDD has not budged at all. Still November 18 - January 12 for my Model S Plaid. Had similar levels of excitement for the other Teslas...

I ordered a Model S Plaid (MSM, 19” Wheels, White interior, and EAP) on September 3rd and my EDD is currently November 17 - January 12. So you are probably okay to order now if you have not already.

If I were in your position, I would hang onto the MSLR for a month or two and try to daily drive the EQS to determine how much you like it. If you determine it’s a better fit for you, sell the Model S. Inevitably, you will end up wanting to drive the one that you like the most. Good luck.

Same experience. I ordered a Model S P on 9/3 and the website was showing EDD of Sep - Oct 2022 and right after I ordered, my EDD was November 27 - January 12 and still holding there. I know my wait won’t be nearly as long as some of the Model Y folks, yet it was still kind of disappointing and...

From what I remember, when I bought my last one in June 2021, I was not able to enter payment info until a day or two before delivery.

That is rough. I’m sorry to hear that happened, very frustrating. I am also looking for an option for my Plaid for this winter and need to get something figured out before delivery. I ordered the 19” wheels. Thanks for the heads up.

That would be nice. I would like to be able to enjoy the car before the Maine winter sets in. Tesla’s history with delivering my cars timely is not great, though. The shortest wait I’ve had was my Model 3 last year which took exactly 60 days from order to delivery. So I feel a bit deceived...

Yes you’re right. I ordered a Plaid last week and the site was saying estimated delivery September-October and when I got an updated EDD a few days ago, it went from September-October to November 17 - January 12. So it is quite possible that I will end up with the 2023 model.

Ughh I’m so sorry. The best solution I’ve found for this is to just let the car go through a power down cycle. Go into the Safety menu and hit Power Off and wait about 3 minutes in the car. Then put your foot on the brake to turn it back on and immediately hold both scroll wheels and the brake...

Super helpful, thank you! Getting your VIN in 4 days is absolutely fantastic.

Just ordered my Model S Plaid yesterday. MSM, white interior, 19” wheels. It has been about a year since I bought my last Tesla and I seem to remember seeing date ranges instead of month ranges as an EDD as I’m seeing in the attached photo. Just curious when I will start seeing actual date...

I have been running Micheline Crossclimate 2's on my 21 M3 LR AWD since last November and drove about 25,000 miles all over Maine, New Hampshire and Quebec this past winter. They are noticeably softer tires and I did notice an initial drop off of about 15% efficiency which seemed to improve...

I agree, this is an absolutely ruthless feature. I find myself pulling off the highway and putting the car in park on nearly ever highway drive.

This has happened to me more times than I can count. When driving in AP, if you press the accelerator and accidentally go above 80 mph (radar-less cars are limited to 80), it will lock me out. Just pull over, put the car in park and then continue. Autopilot will return after the car has been...

Ah, the Applebee's is still there, it is up the road. I am just misremembering. I think there is a group of internet people who might blame these things on what they call.... "The Mandela effect" :D

Okay I know we’re not staying on topic here but I noticed that too. I was going to Hannaford last week and noticed something else that bothered my brain. Either my memory is failing me or I’m just unobservant, but I remember Applebee’s being in the building where Fiesta Jalisco is now. Am I just...

Thanks! I left the car unplugged last night to let it go into a full shutdown and left the USB drive unplugged. It seems to have fixed the problem, for now. I never heard back from Tesla service after they were running “remote diagnostics” on the car. So, it indeed seems like a bug. the first...

I have this problem going on currently — The second time it has happened. The first time, it corrected itself quickly but this time, it has not been working since this morning at about 6 am. I tried to reset it, turn all drivers assistance features on and off, format USB, turn sentry on/off...

I agree. North of the notch, there has been only a few inches this entire season. It is quite warm this year, too. Last winter was also a bit of a mild winter for snow but we had accumulated quite a bit more snow by this time. I suppose I’m sounding old when I say “winters just aren’t like they...

Just an update on the site. Looks like they’re bringing power over today.

I went by yesterday afternoon and they had a good size crew working and all the pedestals were up. Looks like it will be completed in the next few weeks. These chargers will be a game-changer for me since I own rental properties north of the notch and regularly have to drive from the lakes...

Geez, that is so annoying! I am sorry that happened. I had something similar happen to me this past June. I am from New Hampshire and the closest place us New Hampshirites can go to pick up our cars (if we don't choose delivery) is New Jersey. So I had a pickup date/time scheduled for Monday...

Where I live, it is a two hour drive to the nearest interstate so my only option is to drive on 2-lane highways where there's an oncoming logging truck every few miles. Thus, AP has now become a hazard. It's almost like one of the major perks of owning a Tesla has been taken away. Bummer. I...

I am having the EXACT same issues in Northern New Hampshire. My 2021 M3 FSD is having severe phantom braking problems. Roughly 75% of the time when there is a large vehicle in the oncoming lane, such as a logging truck, the car activates FULL brakes and it is very painful and scary to...

Same here in New Hampshire :)

Hi all, I just picked up my car and love it. With that being said, I want to write about my delivery experience. I live in northern New Hampshire and there are no delivery centers in this state. When I ordered my car, I chose to pick it up in New Jersey and drive it back — should be easy...

Hi, I wouldn’t worry. I live in Northern NH and my SA was out of southern Massachusetts and I’m picking my car up in New Jersey. It’s a bit of an organized mess. Once you get your VIN, the delivery center will handle most of the rest.

I have my delivery scheduled for Monday in Springfield, NJ. I have not been contacted to make the final payments yet and/or my bank account details. I am in a bit of a bind here, as I only have today until noon to get a cashiers check. For those of you who got a cashiers check: who did you...

Funny you mention this. A few of my employees have Tesla’s and humbly rub it in my face — agony!

Wooh! Hello, Neighbor. I’m in Northern NH and picking up in NJ on Monday! Maybe I’ll see you there! Good luck.

I think I have you both beat. I live in Northern NH (about 15 miles from Canada 🇨🇦) and I am picking mine up in New Jersey — about 7 hours away!

For all those with an EDD in mid-late June, I just want to mention that before I got my VIN, my EDD was largely missing and showed 9-13 weeks for about two weeks before I received VIN. There were a few days where I did have an EDD and it was June 15-June30. So, looks like I am getting delivery...

Well good news this morning: EDD updated to May 30 - June 4 after being “9 - 13 weeks” or blank for a few weeks. No VIN yet, I’ll keep you guys updated. EDIT: I got a VIN! I was so tired, my eyes glazed right over it! Ordered 04/01

I also ordered April 1st. I was telling my employees today that this has been the worst car buying experience I have ever had — absolute agony and disappointment. I believe, however, that the car will make up for it which is why I am holding out hope.

Same. Just 9-13 weeks. I am picking up in Jersey (Springfield). Might have something to do with the state. Ordered 04/01.

One of my employees has a M3 and he let me borrow it for a few weeks, this is pretty much what I did! I couldn't get enough of that car, the seats are so comfortable and the ride is amazing. Going back to my Lexus was so lackluster...

Ordered 04/01, first day of the quarter, and stuck at "9 - 13 Weeks From Order Placed Date." Was 06/15 - 06/30 before this.
