    Model 3 Long Range acceleration from a stop

    That makes total sense but do you think the rainy situation affects the acceleration? Maybe the car detects tires potentially slipping and lowers the torque? I assume these cars have software driven traction control but I did not see any icons lighting up on the dash.

    Model 3 Long Range acceleration from a stop

    Hi, They just replaced the rear motor drive inverter on my brand new car (~120 miles). The acceleration feels much smoother/less violent from the stop vs if I were to floor it in the 20-40mph range. You feel the torque much stronger when the car is already in motion. It's almost like the car...

    Second day driving and the rear motor is disabled!

    My brand new car is in service and I feel like I got a lemon. Definitely not a great first time experience with Tesla. I was driving my M3LR on the highway and got the notification that the rear motor is disabled and the speed was limited to 64mph. When the car shuts off and restarts the rear...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I picked up my car today and I am happy to say that the car was almost perfect. Reps there sort of pushed me to accept the delivery before seeing the car and told me I still can refuse the delivery after hitting accept as long as I did not leave the lot with the car (which I did not believe to...

    Tesla matches rates. If you go with Tesla you don’t need to worry about the delivery date.

    You don’t need a VIN to get a loan quote. At least not in my case in the state of CA. They usually can preapprove and lock the rate in for you for 60 days.

    I am also confused about this. Is there even a confirmed model 3 LR in US that has the 82kwh battery?

    Poll - Are you waiting for the infrastructure bill before ordering?

    I ordered a M3 LR AWD yesterday. I have little confidence Democrats can pass this bill as it is without the full support of their own senators. i.e. Manchin. They will probably pass some super trimmed down version of it with support from Republicans. I would think at that point the EV portion of...

    I just got approved for 2.49% for 60 months term in Tesla's website then applied to PenFed and got approved for 1.99% for 60 months. I emailed [email protected] to get a better rate. After following this thread it looks like I should have emailed [email protected]. Did I make a mistake...

    Long Range Model 3 was just updated to now offer 614 Kilometers on one charge - Fortune article

    I just rolled the dice and ordered. The range difference will be negligible. I was worried about getting the lower capacity LG battery but apparently that was never used in US made cars.

    Long Range Model 3 was just updated to now offer 614 Kilometers on one charge - Fortune article

    I think your battery is Panasonic not LG. LG batteries were only used in Shanghai factory for European deliveries (and for a limited time) as far as I understand.

    Long Range Model 3 was just updated to now offer 614 Kilometers on one charge - Fortune article

    I understand your rationale. How does Tesla treat these kind of upgrades for existing unfulfilled orders? If I place an order and they announce the new battery before my delivery, would I get the updated car? I assume there is no clear answer to this. I guess it really depends on when the...

    Long Range Model 3 was just updated to now offer 614 Kilometers on one charge - Fortune article

    Do you guys think it's irrational to order M3 LR in US right at this time before the official range increase is announced? I am worried that I'll take delivery and a week later, they will announce the car with the updated/better battery.

    So these issues are common then. It is kind of sad to receive a new car and get it serviced immediately.

    MASTER THREAD: 2021 Model 3 - Charge data, battery discussion etc

    I see. So hopefully it is a matter of a few weeks to update their website then. I wonder if there is a procedure with EPA holding them back from announcing the extended range. Do you think it is likely that you get a 82 kWh battery but be software locked forever since the car was never...

    Based on what you wrote, is it guaranteed that I would get a M3 LR with an 82 kWh Panasonic battery if I were to order now in US?

    MASTER THREAD: 2021 Model 3 - Charge data, battery discussion etc

    I see. I assume this is just an educated guess though. It is quite possible to get 82kwh battery with the long range but stay software locked forever. I assume Tesla would not unlock these cars since older LR users might be angry. However if Tesla were to sell an improved range Long Range, they...

    MASTER THREAD: 2021 Model 3 - Charge data, battery discussion etc

    Is there no information about the battery in the cars made in US? I want to order a M3 LR but do not want to buy one with these LG batteries. Thanks.

    Production quality and ordering questions

    It is super unclear. So which battery are the cars shipping from Fremont coming with? The same it always has been or the LG one?

    Production quality and ordering questions

    Just to be clear I don‘t care about the origin of the product but I do care about the quality. It sounds like there is not much of a difference between M3s manufactured in US and China.

    Production quality and ordering questions

    Hello, I am considering ordering a M3 LR in US. I have a few questions: 1. I read a few threads mentioning that the production quality is better in Shanghai plant. Supposedly, the cars produced there do not have panel gap, paint issues. Is there any chance a US order would be fulfilled from...
