    Grill does not sit flush with bumper…worth trying to get it serviced? (99% sure it’s a non-issue)

    Title is poorly worded. But in the picture you can see that there are a couple of spots where the plastic on the bumper portion raises up and exposes that part of the grill which is hidden on the rest of the grill. I know it’s extremely minor (I only noticed after over a year of ownership), so...

    How small of a paint chip would you worry about?

    Oh whew. Thanks for the info.

    How small of a paint chip would you worry about?

    Wife dinged the door on our garage wall. Tiny chip (about the size of an uncooked grain of rice or smaller), not noticeable unless the door is open and you’re looking for it. My only worry is rust. Should I worry? Should I get it touched up by a pro? Should I just order the touch up paint...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Could have sworn I’ve seen people transfer their reservations before. Whatever.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    So it appears Tesla never took the existing inventory M3 I preordered off my account (long story short I decided to wait for mine instead of taking delivery). Ordered it in October and I guess it's just been sitting on my account, even after I spoke with Tesla and asked them to remove it. If...

    Any EV charger credit cards?

    Ok, definitely going to look into option 3. That sounds very interesting. Thanks!

    Hulu Tesla Fix that actually worked

    I appreciate the write up, and I hope it works for people, but damn…I’m just gonna stick to what Netflix has to offer until it gets patched. I’m more curious how long it took to figure this out lol

    AMD Ryzen UPDATE MODEL 3/Y? [retrofit speculation thread]

    Realistically what are the benefits to a better MCU? Are we talking just snappier UI, or tangible autopilot improvements?

    Any EV charger credit cards?

    I didn’t see any follow up info in that thread unfortunately. Any idea if it applies to SCs? May look into that.

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

    Scheduled a service appointment for creaky driver seat that appeared after about 1000 miles. Hopefully it’s a simple fix

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

    I absolutely get your point and agree that the customer shouldn’t be the one having to worry about catching issues that should have been addressed before the vehicle ever got out of the factory. I think the point I was trying to make is that the visible defects will be somewhat obvious, and...

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

    There’s a checklist floating around on GitHub if you google it. My car was pretty much prefect when I got it. A couple of dangling threads inside I have forgotten about until this post. On the outside there were some iffy paint spots at the end of one of the pieces (I don’t know the name), and...

    How long does it take for a charging session to appear in the app?

    Just to update for anyone who may stumble upon this thread in the future: Went back to the same station, different charger today. That charge shows up, the other one never appeared. So far it looks like a freebie.

    How long does it take for a charging session to appear in the app?

    It’s showing the same on both for me

    How long does it take for a charging session to appear in the app?

    I picked up my LR yesterday, and between the low initial charge upon pickup, fun drives, and prepping to drive out to my parents’ house today, I ended up using SCs twice. The first charge showed up pretty quickly after I was done. The second, however, still hasn’t shown up on my account, and...

    Who here financed through Tesla without verifiable income?

    Yeah, I wasn’t personally excited about that either. I had (wrongly) assumed that with the cash in the bank, securing an auto loan wouldn’t be much of an issue, especially as it wasn’t as if we lost our jobs, we just decided to take some time off while finding new ones. The backup plan was to...

    Payment due at delivery

    I honestly don’t understand the hesitancy over Plaid. No site is going to be 100% secure, not even your bank’s. Just make sure 2FA is set up and forget about it. Apparently there have been privacy concerns, due to the amount of information they can gather from your bank, but that’s a different...

    Model 3 Windows Tints

    Ultimate Window Tinting. Honestly was the first shop I called and the price seemed in the same ballpark as what others have posted.

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

    Thanks. I’ll do some searching when I get home, but do you happen to have a recommended checklist or video of what to look out for?

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

    So I’ve read horror stories about the build quality, and how important delivery inspection is. But I’ve also heard a lot of these issues have been worked out on newer cars, especially ones coming from the new plants in China/Germany. Two questions: 1) are newer cars faring better in regards to...

    Who here financed through Tesla without verifiable income?

    Just wanted to add my own experience for anyone else who might be curious: Was approved through Tesla for $30k @ 5.49% with no job/income. ~$24800 down. Wife and I quit our jobs a few months ago and are living off savings while we look for new ones, so securing a loan from a third party was...

    Any EV charger credit cards?

    Ok so maybe a dumb question. Growing up, my parents always had a BP credit card, mainly just as insurance that they would never be stranded if for whatever reason they were flat broke and needed gas. But I assume that there were benefits for using that card at BP stations: whether it was cash...

    Model 3 Windows Tints

    Thanks. Taking delivery next Wednesday, and have an appointment for tints the following Saturday. Now the debate is 30% all around to make it match, or 15% on the rears just cuz.

    Model 3 Windows Tints

    Any opinions on Formula One Stratos tint? $650 for the sides and rear window. Much less than I was expecting to pay, so I figured I’d go with the top tier at this shop. But if it’s a shitty product, I’ll continue to shop around (Orlando).

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’ve been using Tesla Inventory List - Find your next car There are some other trackers, as well as a Discord server people have mentioned. No idea whether or not they all have the exact same data, or if each source has its quirks and only displays partial inventory. Honestly you’ve gotta be...

    Order just updated and it is in fact $10000 lower than originally.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Advisor said it’ll take up to 48 hours to update in their system. He couldn’t even see its location, which is odd since the trackers can see it. And existing inventory is gonna be 90% SR, 8% performance, and 2% LR. Once I realized the LR inventory is scarce and disappears instantly, I...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Finally snagged existing inventory. Same as my ordered spec, plus sport wheels. Got them to remove FSD. But the advisor said the $250 deposit couldn’t be transferred after the fact (didn’t want to risk someone else snatching it). Anyone have any luck getting them to do it? All in all $250...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think I already know the answer, but if I haven’t been assigned a VIN (at least in the app), will changing the color completely reset my queue? I went with the standard white since I’m in a hot environment, but I think I really like the MSM.
