    FS: Set of Four Like New Take-Off Model 3 18" OEM Tires - Under 150 Miles - Asking $600 - Charlotte NC Area

    These are the Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires. They came off of our brand new '23 Tesla Model 3 we just picked up. No issues with the tires, just switched to run flats. Not willing to ship or split up. Asking $600 for the set of four. They are currently in bags from the tire shop, but I included...

    Window Tint Recommendations Model 3 - Charlotte Area

    I usually use Tint Shop Plus in Kannapolis for my window tinting, but they can't do the rear window. Any recent recommendations for a good shop? Preferably one that can do the Model 3 rear window in one piece? Thanks!

    Locking in a price in anticipation of the Federal Tax Credit

    Right, there is no free lunch. Is the low vehicle tax in SC the reason the roads are so bad? Just kidding! :cool:

    Locking in a price in anticipation of the Federal Tax Credit

    Every car in NC has a 3% Highway Use Tax with no cap and at least where I live another ~1% annually in property tax. And we have yearly inspections. There is an EV fee on top of that. How does that compare to your state? I know in NJ for example, there is no sales tax on EVs. I would rather pay...

    Locking in a price in anticipation of the Federal Tax Credit

    Not only that, but EVs cost more to register in NC.

    Has anyone driven both an SR+ and new RWD Model 3?

    I think the '22 battery is larger and heavier.

    Has anyone driven both an SR+ and new RWD Model 3?

    This is pretty much what I expected. Thanks for your input! After speaking with my wife again, it seems likely we are going with the RWD model. As much as I want to go with the LR AWD (with AB), the performance difference is not worth the extra $8k+ out of the door to her. Especially since she...

    Has anyone driven both an SR+ and new RWD Model 3?

    I agree it is not the best metric. My Hellcat was awful from 0-60 on street tires because it couldn't get any traction. It was a beast once it was moving at a decent clip however, assuming you could manage the still present wheel spin. Getting back to the Tesla, an increase in 0-60 times...

    Has anyone driven both an SR+ and new RWD Model 3?

    I meant last model year, as in 2021 vs the 2022s coming out now. So new a couple of months ago. It sounds like I am just going to have to drive them.

    Has anyone driven both an SR+ and new RWD Model 3?

    No, there was a brief period last year for SR+ with an LFP battery and that is what I have driven. I believe the battery was smaller than the current LFP battery so it had less range and the same acceleration as the NCA battery, See below. So my question was phrased correctly, but if it needs to...

    Has anyone driven both an SR+ and new RWD Model 3?

    Half a second is pretty substantial to me. Especially since all cars are getting faster and this was a move in the wrong direction.

    Has anyone driven both an SR+ and new RWD Model 3?

    The range changed and the 0-60 changed dramtically vs the 2021 SR+ LFP, so they are not the same.

    Has anyone driven both an SR+ and new RWD Model 3?

    I have some experience with the SR+ LFP and it seems due to the timing of my order I am going to be stuck with one of the new RWDs. I am curious if the difference in acceleration is substantial. It is going to be my wife's car, but I will drive it from time to time. We also have an LR AWD order...

    Locking in a price in anticipation of the Federal Tax Credit

    If you go on hold after getting a VIN, does that mean you will get the same car when you get off of hold, or does it depend? I put an SR+ on hold until January. With the changeover to the RWD model (and worse 0-60) I would prefer to get an SR+, but it seems to be a crapshoot.

    Is it me, or does the LR AWD seem like the best value right now

    Push that delivery to 2022 and I will switch my SR+ order to an LR AWD.

    Price Increase on model 3 [Oct 2021]

    We just picked up an SR+ a couple of weeks ago for my wife and I just ordered one for myself last week at the old price. I guess we got very lucky with the timing. Now I hope that 1) Some tax incentives pass for next year 2) They don't take forever to deliver mine since it is now a "lower...

    WTB: Model 3 Aero Wheel(s) - Charlotte NC Area

    Mint condition/ like new only. Looking to replace a curbed wheel on a new car. Aero cover seems undamaged. Will consider one wheel, complete set of wheels, set of take-offs with tires, etc. Basically, wouldn't mind having some spares. Thanks.

    Master Thread: 3 Delivery experiences

    We took delivery of my wife's Model 3 yesterday at the local Service Center and it was an odd experience. We did everything we could online, so that left only a few papers to sign. The guy then gave us the key cards and said to take as long as we wanted and flash the lights if we had any...

    Master Thread: 3 Delivery experiences

    We must have had the same guy. Haha. I also asked about looking the car over before signing and he acted weird. Then said he could just rip the papers up if there were any issues.
