    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Trade estimate was 4k lower than actual offer. Trade estimate was right at my 10 day payoff which made the whole proposition attractive. However the actual offer made the acquisition not worth it. Especially since a lease was planned. Oh well. Guess I'll wait for the performance and try to...

    Road trip a Brand New M3P?

    Only reservation I had on taking my m3p on a long road trip was the possibility of being stranded due to damage of the 35 series tires. That and rock chips on sunroof and windshield.

    Question on leasing price shot up on down payment

    Purchase. I would not consider leasing since the lease can NOT be bought out at the end of the lease term. Any equity remaining in the vehicle above the residual goes back to tesla even tough yoy already payed for it. It's brilliant by tesla, terrible for consumers. No lease on these cars...

    Question on leasing price shot up on down payment

    If noted, prior to proper order, online calculator does not take into account taxes and other fees. This gets added to the down payment once order finalized. I got my m3p in September last year. $56,990+red = $58,990+ 250+1200 destination. = $60,440 +tax, title and registration and doc fee...

    2022 M3LR Dash buzz/rattle (not the normal one)

    I had a similar creak. I added felt to the clips of the wooden dash mounts. It reduced creaks but not this particular one. After tapping around i found that the glove box latches on either side have some play. I added felt around them and felt on the glovebox door, where the plastic latches...

    California Lease Pickup Question

    Haven't stopped leasing. But they do not let you buy the model Y or 3 after the lease has matured. So if you intent on using up all the lease mileage I would lease. Leave no miles on the table. If this is gonna be a second car or toy and you don't plan on putting many miles on it over he course...

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

    Just found this today after 3 months of ownership. First time I sat in the pax seat and noticed large gap between dashboard and door card meeting point. Drivers side is as expected. Pictures attached show the large differences in gap size. Thought on possible solution? Within spec?!?

    Definitely something my tiny little brain can comprehend. Thanks for clearing up my ignorance about part origin semantics.

    Does a US made Model 3 include parts from China?

    I know right?! Those people....I can't believe their audacity. It must be the same type that complain about panel gaps and build imperfections. Just shut up, drive, and be happy.

    Does a US made Model 3 include parts from China?

    Understandable. I just figured the china made parts would be smaller insignificant components. Not major suspension parts.

    Does a US made Model 3 include parts from China?

    Woah there sparky. I was just surprised since the Monroeny says 65% usa and 15% mexico for part origins. Guess the last 20% is china.

    Does a US made Model 3 include parts from China?

    I was cleaning the model 3 underbody and inner part of the wheels, when I noticed made in china stamped on the front suspension right under the QR code. Do any of you know how many or which parts of the model 3 are made in china?
