If you get a 12V inflator make sure it does not produce more amps than your model 3 12v outlet can handle.

You would think Tesla would update their planner to account for those things. It is not like the car doesn't have a cellular connection to the internet to get that data.

Just got notice today that my tire has shipped. Should be delivered Wednesday Sept 1st. Ordered 6/19.

Still waiting on mine but I ordered 6/19. I feel like this is the same as waiting for the delivery of my Model 3 lol.

@TexAlly5 Have you got notification of your modern spare tire shipping yet?

Seriously I got my VIN shortly after changing my profile pic. Here is what it used to be:

Thought I would pop my head in here (took delivery late June) and see how things are going. You can see my order experience in my signature. Glad to see Andrew the squirrel is going strong in the profile pics! :) I hope all of you get your cars ASAP. For me it was an agonizing wait but well...

Thanks for the update!

Congrats! I ordered June 19th so hopefully mine will ship in a week or so. Thank you for the update!

I have had one on order since June also. Originally was supposed to ship early August. I keep contacting them and getting different reasons why it is delayed. Shipment is coming in, shipment was held by customs, etc. They keep telling me one more week. I found a similar thread from a Camaro...

Are there any tutorials for installing/setting up TeslaLogger on a Google cloud E2-micro server? I currently am using TeslaMate on a Raspberry Pi but would like to try TeslaLogger alongside it and a Google Cloud setup sounds like a good idea.

I just bought a 2021 M3. Do all cars come with 90 days free FSD? Do you need to activate it or is it just working?

I am currently using TeslaMate but this looks interesting to switch over to. For those using the Google Cloud solution how secure is it compared to running on a Pi at home?

By the end ED will be the least of your problems lol. That ED goes right away though when you stomp on that pedal! It is the perfect cure for ED.

I had something similar during my delivery. I was in the car and all four windows rolled down an inch, then rolled back up. Reminded me of The Onion article about Teslas suffocating their owners lol. One of the SA's was walking by and I asked for help. Even he was perplexed. I then wondered if...

Humor is the only way to make it through this. I just dealt with this Q2 and reading all the posts for Q3 is giving me PTSD flash backs lol. The good thing though is once you finally get the car it is all worth it!

I made you your own custom one. :)

I am a Q2 person just hanging around to help those that are about to go through the same roller coaster I went through. As far as Andrew the Squirrel all I know is I resisted changing my profile pic as a tribute to the squirrel. I was about to give up and decided to change my profile pic to this...

Personally I would not put anything on the Calipers since that is your braking system. Any screw up and you could mess up your braking ability, lock a wheel, etc. If you really want colored calipers I would look into painting them.

I have heard the LR AWD also gets it but it is software locked to the old capacity. Could be rumors/FUD though.

I believe you need the OBDII scan tool to check. I forget the name of the tool. People have reported receiving the 82kwh battery pack which I believe is an upgrade over the previous 78 Kwh battery pack.

Thanks! The idea about practicing on another tire is great. I think I have a spare old tire I can work on. Would be nice to know how much force to use and practice the technique before having to do it on the side of the road.

I am down with the plug kit. There are just so many different variations I was trying to figure out which kit was the best based on people actually using them. I think this is the kit you are talking about: Harbor Freight Tire plug kit

It is not 100% but it seemed like cars with FSD and lots of add ons were getting filled sooner then plain vanilla cars. That does not mean that no plain vanilla cars were filled before end of quarter. Who knows though. I could be totally wrong.

You got lucky.

What does the kit look like? Is it where you remove nail, ream hole, take a long string of rubber, fold it in half and push through hole? Or is it the one with mushroom plugs?

The not being able to get ahold of someone is very hard. Some people get SA's that are very responsive/informative. Others get SA's that could be figments of their imagination. The best think is to expect your car the last day of the quarter. Anything earlier is icing on the cake. Do not look at...

Nope. That model will most likely be delivered towards the very end of the quarter based on my Q2 experience. The absolute last is White/Black standard wheels no FSD. I hope you get your sooner but right now I would just set yourself that you will get it the last day of the quarter. That way if...

Yes, I have the spare tire kit. I forget the company but they have a spare tire kit for the Tesla. I do not want to carry the tire all the time though (only road trips). The patch kit is for around town and road trips in case I get more than one puncture. The spare tire kit comes with a jack and...

Yep it is a huge difference. I owned an ICE with a turbo at one time and that definitely helps at elevation. Normally asperated ones lose sooooo much power though.

I carry a compressor in my car for these kinds of situations. It is not a big deal around town but when I go on road trips sometimes I am out in the middle of no where and would hate to get stuck.

If the lot is not locked you could go check the VIN's of all the cars lol.

Interesting I did not accept delivery and they let me inside the car. They just asked me to come find them once I was done to accept delivery. Glad everything went well! That first full acceleration is a RUSH isnt it! I am impressed how well it pulls from 55+ too. I can't wait to take it to the...

What kit did you use for your patches?

Yeah I checked that one out too. Have you actually had to use it yet?

That is how I felt. Trust me after you have been chewed up and spit out, once you get the car, you will be happy. Sorry you are having to go through this. Hoping they get it to you as soon as possible.

Wonder if you car was supposed to be on the same transporter as greymatter73's car.

I am thinking about buying a kit like this: Dynaplug Tubeless Tire Repair Tool Kit, Aluminum Pro Xtreme, Made in USA I never trust reviews so I was wondering if anyone here has experience with using one? From the reviews some people say they need to use several plugs and it still leaks. That is...

Scroll back through this large thread to previous quarters and you can see what happened. You can also check the order spreadsheet to see in previous quarters did people get vins right after quarter end. Based on the spreadsheet there is definitely a huge drop off. There are still VINS recorded...

I paid by cashiers check.

Man I am so sorry to hear that! Hopefully they take care of you and get it to you before that EDD.

Dude I am so sorry to hear that. At least your day is close and I hope it comes tomorrow! A lot of cars have been coming in great shape to so hopefully you will be good on fit and finish too. Add a squirrel to your profile pick so Andrew will leave you alone. You have not paid tribute to him...

Did you have EyeSight on the Outback? I was really impressed with how that worked. I am very curious to see how Teslas system compares. I did not have the lane assist in the Outback though as my EyeSight was an older version.

I agree the visibility out the side/back is not as great. I am coming from a Subaru Outback though which had large rear windows and big side mirrors. One way to test the edges of your car is while driving on the freeway (and with no cars around you) move the car towards another lane (not...

Sending good vibes out to everyone that has deliveries scheduled today! So excited for all of you!! Can't wait to see your new cars!

Maybe something like this? Wheel caps or this Wheel caps

I am not sure but I know I got my Vin on the 26th, and my car was manufactured on the 27th.

Oh no, I am sorry to hear that. Since you have white interior you may get your order sooner. In Q2 the white/black cars (mostly) seemed to come last. Cars that had upgrades (especially FSD) seemed to get delivered earlier. I would just assume it will come end of quarter so you are not let down...
