No, a bad tire can cause this. Easiest way to confirm is to swap tires Between sides of the vehicle, and see if the problem persists, or changes sides. If it persists, it’s something with your alignment. If it starts pulling the other direction. You likely have a bad tire. This was a huge issue...

**FINAL UPDATE** Everything has SOLD!!! Apologies if you missed anything - the sheer volume of responses on the charging equipment tells me I should have been charging more, as it was very easy to lose track of conversations, etc. MODS, please mark as sold and close this thread. Thanks!

Illuminated door sills are SOLD!! A lot of inquiries about the various charging equipment so far. I will get back to everyone on that stuff as quickly as I can. @emotiveeng any interest in the brakes? :) Thanks all!

ALL speaker components (Focals, 4" mids, and adapters) SOLD!!

Replied!

Replied to everyone via PM!

Selling off some things that I had from my last Model 3 Performance. I was thinking about getting another one, which is why I've held onto it until now, but now we're about to move, and I think I'm going to go Plaid if I return to Tesla, so here we go! All prices are OBO - PLEASE feel free to...

I've owned a number of vehicles with front cameras in all different locations on the front of the car. The rear camera is always the one that needs to be wiped off, the front usually does pretty well, unless directly impacted by dirt or a bug, which doesn't happen often due to the shape.

Just because the shop has done hundreds of Teslas doesn’t mean the guy they had work on your car wasn’t brand new. Sucks, but it happens. At least the shop is going to pay for it!

I’m glad you came back, and REALLY glad they finally got you one that was passable! Congrats!

China cars are not sent to the US. If you're ordering from this half of the globe, your car will come from Fremont. China cars are sold in Asia and I guess Europe - or is Berlin making 3's now? Not sure - but not your problem either way! No worries, Elon is just waiting on that new factory to...

Cheesy as hell, but I literally cannot wait to see pics of your car. I’m almost as excited for you as I was for myself! So is tomorrow the day, then??

Depends on the state, but generally, yes. I took delivery of mine on Sunday, and the vast majority of dealers are not open here on Sunday, though it's not illegal. In a lot of places, it is actually illegal for them to be open on Sunday.

I don't think so. The one I just took delivery of on Sunday looks and feels exactly like the one I took delivery of in December.

You should absolutely have your MVPA by now, it generally shows up along with your VIN, since it's auto-generated. Give your SA a quick call.

Yeah, that’s exactly what they do. As for when we will get an update, it’s usually anywhere between 2 weeks and a month. My EOQ/EOY delivery in December took about 3 weeks until I was in the update system… so it should be quicker this time, for sure!

Oh, I forgot one really important thing! My car came with software version 2022.15.102... 2022.16 came out in May, so it's fairly old, as expected. REALLY hope to get on the list for updates soon, but not holding my breath!

You are literally the sole reason a bunch of us are still in this thread. Haha

Hell yes, my friend! Congrats!!!

Nothing to lose at this point! DO IT!

Oh, one more important thing. Despite my iPhone 13 Pro saying it is ‘connected’ on the security page in my app, my wife was NOT able to overzealously open the door, despite me being within ~5 feet of the car. It would not open until I was standing right next to the door - exactly the same...

Honestly they all look good! I personally think red is the most dynamic color, but I absolutely love the blue (especially in the sunlight), and white looks amazing with the carbon fiber spoiler, etc. It’s really tough to go wrong - but why not give changing your color a try at this point? It...

19x9.5 +28 Volk TE37 Ultra M-Spec in OG bronze. Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 265/35. I can’t imagine running 20’s on this long-term on the crap roads we have here, I’ll spend a fortune replacing tires. I’d have preferred 18’s, but I think those do look too small. The Model 3 can look a...

Today was the day! Delivery went swimmingly. Car fit and finish are overall much better than the one I took delivery of in December, which was already on-par with most cars I’ve bought. Tight gaps, even on the glass roof, paint looks good (and not like it’s been cleaned with a brillo pad, like...

Wow, 143km/s! That's insanely fast. 417 times the speed of sound! Not sure the blinking will matter at those speeds. :)

Yeah, this person has never posted outside of this thread, and joined on the day they posted this. They're not coming back for updates, they obviously got what they needed from us and moved on.

The only answer anyone here can give you is 'when you get one'. As you may have seen, until you have that VIN, the dates mean very little. If this particular 2-week(ish) window holds for you, I would expect you'll have a VIN within a week or so.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, ad the OP not stated. "felt a little resistance, continued anyways and then a small metal pieces crack off from the arm" To the OP - I would have it serviced. The last thing you need is for one of your wiper blades to turn into a spear for whomever is behind...

Interesting - did they resolve the bolt thing right away, or making an appointment?

Thanks for confirming, that’s what I have here to mount on my wheels, but no car yet to test! Which tires do you have?

Unless you’re slammed, the 265/35 should be just fine. A lot of people run that size.

I'm sure most of us are guilty of some violation of the "bros before" pact, but I think it's about time he gets back in step and delivers your car! :)

Which colors are in stock?

🤣 Oh Tesla, don’t you ever change.

Good plan, but not catchy enough. I'm thinking: "We Can Deliver That by June! - The Flatbroke Story"

Can't say I've laughed harder at a post here. Thanks for that!

That's going to vary on when a truck is available, etc. It's usually within a few days or so, though. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems people never get that text... Another crapshoot, just like everything else with this process, really! :) I'd say later in your EDD is probably the safe bet for...

The FC04 is a bit bland in real life, in my opinion. I had a really hard time deciding between the TE37 and the Apex VS-5RS, but again, in the Model 3 fittiment, the Apex unfortunately looks a bit flat, though I do love the wheel. I figured, I’ve wanted a set of TE37s since they first came out...

Sorry! Stupid words. :) All the same - two great companies, neither of whom I would hesitate to support!

DEFINITELY get them from @systemmotorsports, or one of their distributors (like @MODEL+ ). @systemmotorsports are the only ones who have a TE37 fittiment with Face-4 for the Model 3, and it makes an absolutely enormous difference, looks-wise.

My friend, that is one damn good photoshop.

It still said June-August about a week into July, so... :)

Between my wife and I, we've owned 7 STIs, so I get it! :) I've driven a Stinger GT, but actually the trans was the thing I disliked about the car. For something they're labelling as a 'sporty' car, I felt that the transmission was very much tuned for comfort. If I was in sport mode with the...

Yeah, I saw a blue Rivian wrapped with the Xpel Stealth, and it looked amazing. The only problem (or another benefit, depending on your outlook) with the stealth wrap, though, is that it's a lot harder to hide imperfections. If they cut it a pinch too short on the edge of a bumper or something...

My OD was 6/4.

You'll be contacted in the next few days. You won't get the text/email to schedule delivery until around a week before or so... My DD was 8/5-8/9, and I just got my text on Thursday. Taking delivery on 8/7 in Charlotte, assuming the car comes in as expected :)

I think dash white will look great, but if you’re iffy on it, either bronze will look fantastic, as would pressed graphite.

I have a 255 PS4S on and 18x9.5 for my STi, and that sits pretty square. I’m sure a 245 wouldn’t be more than a little bit of stretch. Not ideal, but I’m sure it would look ok. The big deal is wheel protection though, I want as much tire as I can get on a wheel this expensive.

The mobile connector you order with your car is not being delivered with the car. They aren’t shipping until August, at least, so they’re shipping after the fact. They’re essentially just letting you pre-order a mobile charger when you buy the car, if you need one.

Have you driven anything with a DSG/DCT, or one of the newer ZF 8-speed autos? They downshift quite aggressively... I've had them in the Trackhawk, and a couple of BMWs now (including the new Supra), and that 8-speed auto is absolutely fantastic. Downshift engine braking is just as aggressive as...
