    Footwell Side Carpet Kick-Protectors

    Another solution if you don’t want these larger protectors or different mats - a Velcro patch from Amazon that can be cut to size. A previous Mercedes I owned had a factory patch of vinyl in that area to prevent this issue, and there was no wear on the carpet at all after 140k miles. See below...

    Carpet directly next to gas pedal...

    By the way, if anyone else is noticing carpet wear next to their accelerator pedal and are like me, and didn’t want mats that covered that entire area, I came up with a simple solution. Amazon sells large Velcro pads that you can cut to size and attaches securely to the carpet. It’s almost an...

    Anyone tried Lloyd Luxe mats?

    Did your Lloyd's mats go all the way up over the dead pedal area on the driver side? I am actually hoping to not cover the dead pedal so I can install a metal dead pedal, but I will deal with it since I like these mats. Just curious.

    Bluetooth audio doesn't autoplay

    I have a 2022 M3 SR+ and I typically stream bluetooth audio from my iPhone. 4 out of 5 times when I get in, it gives me a message saying I need to choose audio from my phone. So I have to open the music app on my iPhone and manually press play. The rest of the time, it picks up immediately...

    Screen protectors: matte or not?

    I installed a matte screen protector off amazon and hated it. Could be a quality issue or could have to do with the matte component. It looked like the resolution and brightness of the screen was reduced. I was using the dark gray screen setting during the day, but could barely see it during...

    Aero hubcap kit same color as wheel

    I’m wondering the same as the original poster - has anyone found a center cap kit that is a good match to the aero wheels? I got one set from Amazon and the centers are black instead of grey. The Tesla ones have been out of stock for a while.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Just took delivery today of my black on black M3 RWD. The whole process was pretty smooth, under 30 minutes. It did not have the new headlights but I was fine with that since I'm locked in at a low interest rate currently and that might change if I rejected this car. The only issue is that...

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    Quick question about charging on these LFP batteries. I just took delivery of a 2022 M3 SR+ with the LFP battery. I understand that EV batteries take longer to charge as they get to the top percentage of the battery capacity, but does charging them regularly to 100% also use more energy? In...

    Cannot invite driver

    I found another solution in case someone has a similar problem. Use the Tesla app of the primary driver, to text the invite code to the person you are trying to link the car to. Then try the link, if opens on your device and shows "Open in Tesla app" at the top, it's a device specific problem...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I'm picking up tomorrow, went to the lot today and looked at the car. VIN is 236xxx, build date was 4/24 and it does NOT have the new headlights. It also DID have the charging port delay, so that tracks with what others are seeing - apparently when one part is short, multiple are. I'm not...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Mine is the same configuration, ordered 2 weeks earlier (9/12) and I pick mine up Monday. My EDD went to July-August then I got a VIN out of nowhere. Good luck, hopefully you are close.

    Transplanting the key card RFID to my phone Case

    Don't some credit cards have tap-to-pay and isn't that RFID? Has anyone tried programming a credit card to their Tesla, and will those RFID chips work for multiple things that way?

    Aero Wheel cap kit - updated 2021

    Has anyone found an aftermarket cover set for the center and lug nuts that matches the color of the 2022 aero wheels? Especially the center cap? I keep looking for them on Amazon and eBay but they all seem to be black versus dark gray.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Same here. Car arrives this week but waiting 2 more weeks for pickup for the charge port part to arrive and be installed. My SA was up-front about the reason for the delay.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Tesla called today and moved my delivery appointment further out due the charging port part. They had a date the charging port would be arriving, so were confidently able to schedule a delivery appointment. They also confirmed my car will come with the mobile charger based on my order date. Now...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Even once you do, don't count on Tesla keeping the appointment. I had a delivery date scheduled for a week from today, and they reached out and said the car was not arriving on-time and they just assigned me a new appointment (at a time when I'm at the airport for a week-long trip across the...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    My delivery appointment is now set for May 10th. I got my vin earlier in the week, then completed insurance and financing. My SA confirmed yesterday that the vehicle is awaiting transport at their "California rail facility" - which I had not heard of. Then I read this: How Tesla ships by...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Yes, you can adjust a slider or "seek" a certain payment or down payment, and it will adjust the other number. It won't tell you your interest rate until you complete that step though and fully apply - it's primarily an estimate but obviously they are using expected terms.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Oh, and I got 2.99% financing for 72 months with U.S. Bank (Tesla partner, through the Tesla loan application after I got my VIN). It did not give the option of different banks or rates, it just matches you with the best option I guess.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Your Tesla sales associate can change that. I still proceeded with delivery, then you can make those changes later (it asks for insurance followed by payment method). When you go to complete your payment method, it asks if you want to use Tesla financing or bring your own financing - once your...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Got my VIN today!!! No email, just opened the app and told me Tesla was making changes to my order and I should go to my Tesla account. Had to accept the slower acceleration then the MVPA and VIN appeared with a 2 day delivery time frame!!! And it’s 2 days in which I’m on vacation across the...

    I have been thinking about looking at one of these too - please let us know what you thought, and how it compares to the Model 3.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    EDD changed overnight from April 30-May 14 to now saying July 12 - August 23rd. The end of that range is 2 weeks short of a year since my order date. They really have no idea at this point and should just say that. Does Tesla actually make the RWD Model 3 anymore?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Tesla has been doing this for years - this latest iteration should be no surprise, but it's still frustrated. They removed the various plugs from the mobile charging set, removed floor-mats from the SR+, and now removed the mobile charger. I just think it's incredibly short sighted for people...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    This is a really frustrating move by Tesla. $45k car and you can’t even charge it in your garage after you drive it home. I don’t even have my car yet but am already $700 in with having an outlet wired, buying the plugs that don’t come with it, and now I have to spend $200 more to use those...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Please keep us updated, I’m thinking the same might happen to me. I’m 2 weeks away from my 2 week window.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    That's my config too, also on the East Coast. From the order tracking google sheet, there has not be a single car with that config delivered in 2022 so far. Kind of backs up the theory that Tesla makes vehicles in batches. I'm a September 2021 order date, and am showing April 30 to May 14th...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Mine changed overnight too. It's now a 2 week window - this is my 2nd two-week window however. Previous EDD was 4/17 to 5/15 and it's now 4/30 to 5/14. All cash, no VIN in source code. Order Date was 9/12/2021.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Are there any East Coast people who had August 2021 order dates who have NOT received their cars? I'm in NC and ordered 9/12, so I'm hoping I'm next and my EDD will stick. I went on hold from mid-November to 12/27 then EDD bounced around significantly. I got a 2 week window for early April...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I am black/black/18” and have a Sept order date. Order has gotten pushed a few times - now saying April-May. I had a 2 week window which went away. It does seem like a good deal of people are waiting on black/black.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Same here. I had a 2 week window, I got a text about my trade and I replied “no trade” and 2 days later it got pushed out a month with a 4 week delivery window.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    The same happened to me this week - I ordered 9/21, put it on hold for a month at the end of the year, showed Feb-March when it came off hold. It's now showing June-July. Good thing I don't actually NEED a new car currently. All of my predelivery steps have been complete since right after I...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I realize that. I was on hold for about 45 days, and I'd not expect to be first in line after coming off hold. Tesla stuck with that February-March delivery date for almost a month, so just found it interesting that it would shift that much, and is now more closely aligned with a brand new...

    LFP battery in Model 3

    Every indication from Tesla and based on the chemistry of these batteries is that they do very well in the heat. You could almost say the hotter the better. Teslas like to pre-heat the battery before charging, for faster charge times, and a higher ambient temperature means less energy is...

    Charging on NEMA 5-20 at 7mph!

    Check your fuse box too. Sometimes you get lucky and find a dedicated 5-15 or 5-20 that was installed for a specific purpose. ie: I have an 80s house that had a "freezer" outlet installed in the garage, on it's own circuit, and already had a 20amp breaker (but only a 5-15 outlet). That type...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Is everyone who recently got a 2022 finding themselves with the LFP battery? I know some people who received 2022s and have the NCA technology, so I’m hoping for the LFP myself. OOD: 9/12 On hold until Dec 31st SR+ black/black. 18” aero, No FSD

    Are those in the US who have received 2022 M3s - are you all receiving LFP batteries?

    Got my Delivery email , but how do I postpone and can I postpone until after January 1st?

    If you talk to 3 different people at Tesla, you get 3 different stories. Because they didn't put my order on hold when I initially called, they only emailed my local sales rep, who never responded, they now say they can't put it on hold now for more than 30 days. One rep did tell me that if I...

    Got my Delivery email , but how do I postpone and can I postpone until after January 1st?

    Even if you call, they let you put it on hold for 30s only. Mine now says I’m due for a car December 6th. The prices have gone up so I’d pay about $3k for the same car if I reorder. Original delivery date at order time was February.

    Locking in a price in anticipation of the Federal Tax Credit

    It was originally February which is why my SA suggested placing the order immediately. She’s now not responding.

    Got my Delivery email , but how do I postpone and can I postpone until after January 1st?

    I called Tesla and tried this. They said I can only delay for 30 days, and if I get rematches, I need to take delivery or they cancel my order and keep my deposit. True? I’ve been given the wrong info before. I’m also trying to delay until after January 1st.

    Locking in a price in anticipation of the Federal Tax Credit

    I ordered my M3 SR+ in September with an expected delivery of February. I timed it that way so I could get the new tax credits if they pass and hopefully get an LFP battery. As directed by my sales associate, I reached out to Tesla (she didn’t respond to emails) to indicate that I wouldn’t...

    LFP battery in Model 3

    This sounds accurate. I spoke to Tesla today - I have had a Model 3 SR+ on order since September, and they were showing an expected delivery of Oct 26-Nov 23rd. At my request the rep delayed my order until January (which was the original delivery date anyway when I placed the order) to make...
