    7 seat waiting room

    Well - got a VIN this morning after sending a text a few days ago asking if they could put me on hold until the March/April timeframe. I was told that’s not possible due to the fact I was within the original delivery window from when I ordered. I responded back to the VIN text asking what I...

    7 seat waiting room

    Probably not. I may say I’m out of town or something an unable to make their dates. If they cancel they cancel. I’m pretty content with my 3, and we ended up getting an ICE 7 seat suv used that meets our needs when we need more passenger capacity. I was almost treating this as a $250 bet that...

    7 seat waiting room

    My April order appears to be getting close to delivery, started as 12/30 -12/31, then 12/24 -12/31, now 12/6 - 12/31. I’m still unsure if I even want it, and the removal of USS doesn’t help for me. I’d really prefer to see how they are able to accomplish the park assist with cameras only before...

    frunk open on the app no longer asking for confirmation

    I'm personally not a huge fan of this change. I have the Tesla widget on my iOS home page which has a frunk opening shortcut. Have phantom clicked it a number of times resulting in a notification that my frunk has been left open. Thankfully, its just in my garage, so no real harm until I get the...

    11/21 OD MYLR change to MYP - How quickly will VIN be assigned?

    Good thread, glad to see it is quick. I ordered a MYLR 7 seater in April, currently have a December - Jan delivery date, but hoping it gets pushed even a bit further. I'm planing to switch it to a MYP 5 seater when I'm ready to take delivery - which will be Jan at the earliest.

    Tire Rotation cost.

    I just paid $70 and some change (after tax) to for my Model 3 rotation via mobile service. Interesting that others are only paying $50, but the convenience was definitely worth it. I work from home, was in a meeting - just left my car parked outside in my driveway unlocked, and they were in/out...

    Tidal Issues Today? [07.07.2022]

    I think it was an outage. Went out to pick up lunch and tried again and it started working.

    Tidal music app vanished

    Ok - I just posted that I was having this issue in a separate thread - so not just me. Got logged out this morning and have been stuck at the QR code ever since. Have been on Tidal since December 21 when I took delivery and love it, but needs to be able to login to keep loving it!

    Tidal Issues Today? [07.07.2022]

    Have been using Tidal since I picked up my Model 3 in December - have the 9.99/month HiFi plan. This morning while driving, it logged me out on the Tesla, and has the QR code on the screen to log back in. I've been trying to log back in all morning - scan the QR code on my phone camera, log in...

    7 seat waiting room

    p Ha, I just did something similar. As mentioned a few pages back in the thread, we ended up getting a CPO Infiniti QX60 as our 7 seater, and it gets reasonable enough gas mileage on the highway that if will likely be our vacation vehicle. I just changed my order to a standard MYLR and removed...

    7 seat waiting room

    I picked up my Model 3 as a demo with 2k miles on it back in December. Overall it was in good shape. Only two issues of note, each was resolved pretty easily - badly curbed rim that they replaced before I took delivery (happened to have one on site) and a factory paint issue (red dot about the...

    7 seat waiting room

    With the recent price increase - does anyone know if changing to a regular Model Y or Model Y Performance (from the MY7S that I have reserved) will get me the old pricing, or does that change me to the new pricing? Situation has changed a bit since original order and may not want/need the 7...

    7 seat waiting room

    Couple of more price increases (especially on the Model 3) and I'll be able to sell my 21 M3LR for enough to get a Model Y for nothing extra out of pocket.

    7 seat waiting room

    Oh - I agree - if the finances don't make sense when the time comes, worst case I'm out the deposit. This was a $250 gamble for me. I very likely won't take delivery on this car, but with the way prices were increasing, I decided to put down a deposit to lock in the price - granted well after...

    7 seat waiting room

    My company doesn't pay for gas, but with my MYLR7S coming in at close to 70k all said and done, we are in a similar boat to you in that the 7 seater is for occasional trips and vacations...and picked the CPO Infiniti for a shade under 40k. I'd much rather have the Y, but I'm not sure that 30k...

    7 seat waiting room

    Same, but I'm glad - I want it to get pushed out as far as possible. Price is locked, and I want the price of the Model 3 to keep going up so that I can sell it for close to enough to pay for the MYLR7S + Tow Package. I basically ordered mine as a $250 gamble to lock in a price.

    5700 Mile Model Y Road Trip noob style

    Thanks for sharing. I noticed that the Pigeon Forge SC is a good bit off the exit, but its in a shopping center that we are familiar with from previous trips there that has a toy store that my kids absolutely love, and a coffee shop my wife and I enjoy - so it may be worth it :) I'm probably...

    5700 Mile Model Y Road Trip noob style

    Can I ask how the trip from Dayton to Pigeon Forge was? We are planning to shove my family of 4 into my Model 3 LR for our summer vacation from Cincinnati to Charleston SC, and the stretch from London KY to Asheville NC has me really nervous with the potential for losing range going up those...

    Tow hitch bike rack for model y

    You may be on to something here. Additionally, I found a Model Y thread on Reddit (not sure if I’m allowed to link there or not, so I won’t unless told otherwise) that mentioned vertical weight and tongue weight are essentially the same thing, and that 350lb converted to kilograms is almost 160...

    Should I talk my wife out of an X and into a Y?

    FWIW, my wife presently drives an 18' GLE350 and we just put in an order for a MYLR7S. She likes but doesn't love the MB, and prefers driving my Model 3 to it. That being said, what we've ordered is already a bit more than we'd want to spend, so an X isn't even a consideration for us. Our 9 and...

    Tow hitch bike rack for model y

    I'm just using this as an excuse to get lighter bikes 🤷‍♂️ We've a Model Y on order with the factory hitch option, my 4 bike rack without any bikes already weights 66lb. Right now, we could probably only get my bike / my wife's bike on it as they are both heavy-ish comfort bikes. I'm on the...

    Moving charger location in garage

    I was actually wondering if this was an option - wasn't sure what was required wiring wise to add a sub panel. I'd technically only need a single 60 amp breaker in the sub-panel if I were to get two wall connectors and load share them though - right? I'd be OK with having a sub panel for a...

    For reference, I’d like it in that open spot right next to my garage door and the push broom.

    Moving charger location in garage

    Yea, that's why I was asking if it can be extended - this is what I want to do. If I move it from the side of my car to the wall of my garage right next to the garage door on my side (which is another 15-20' total because we have a fairly large bump out it would have to run along), 24' would...

    Moving charger location in garage

    I like this option a lot - but it does present two major issues that would probably make it a non-starter. The 14-50 install effectively filled our breaker box - our electrician said we could maybe gain a bit more space by switching some of the 120 breakers to slim-line, but if we need anything...

    Moving charger location in garage

    Thanks for the response. I would not at all be surprised if we didn’t end up with a second wall connector at some point - but I can pretty much guarantee it will be me going out and plugging the cars in nightly. Good to know that this is something that can be done - I’m sure for an electrician...

    Moving charger location in garage

    First and foremost - a licensed electrician installed my existing charging solution - and I will have a licensed electrician make any changes that need to made to accommodate what I'm about to ask. Just wanted to tap into the experience of this forum to make sure it is possible before I reach...

    April 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    MYLR 19" wheels, black interior, msm exterior, no FSD, tow, 7 passenger. OD 4/11, EDD Oct 22 - Jan 23. Not in a rush at all, but would save me a few $$ on taxes if I'm able to take delivery before the end of the calendar year.

    7 seat waiting room

    I've got no problem with that at all. If we were to get it by end of year, that would be great - as we could avoid paying KY taxes/registration on it in 2023 (if you own a car on January 1st, you owe taxes/registration for the entire year), but as long as we make a move before August of 2023, we...

    Another price increase tonight [04/06/2022]

    The thing is just an absolute pig, and most of her driving is stop and go around town. Its rated at I think 22 hwy/18 city and we've never gotten anywhere near that. On the bright side, we've learned to get by on less space in a car as a family of 4 with the Model 3, even planning to take on a...

    Another price increase tonight [04/06/2022]

    I absolutely love my Model 3, but with the price increases, coupled with the fact that it has become our primary family car with gas price increases and my wife's MB GLE350 getting a whopping 16 mpg on premium - I'm strongly considering reserving a Model Y at this point and using what should now...

    A close call with running out of battery power driving home

    Interesting to see 40% range loss in winter. I'm in the Cincinnati Ohio area, and took delivery of my Model 3 in mid-December, so I've only ever known winter driving - though my winter isn't as extreme as someone in the northeast. So far I'm averaging ~270 kWh/mi lifetime...and I'm really...

    Accessing third brake light...had an insect in it

    Were you ever able to figure this out? I noticed a dead bug inside of mine today. I've got a service appointment scheduled for another issue in two weeks - I may ask them at that time if its something they could do fairly quickly.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I only did it because of the unknown, an awesome trade in value on my current car, and the fact that there a few well-known issues that could crop up at any time on my out of warranty Mercedes at literally any point in time that would completely negate the potential savings with out an out of...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’m with Liberty Mutual as well, been with them for about 13 years when one of my younger fraternity brothers graduated and took a job with them. He’s out on paternity leave - I’ll give him a call direct after he’s back in the new year, but appears it may be time to shop around.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Anyones insurance go up..a lot…with their Model 3? Just called and got it added. When they take my 17 Mercedes off the policy it’s still going to be $1200 more per year than I’m paying now. Clean driving record, no accidents or tickets for my wife or myself in the last 20+ years.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yea, it was like $500. I should probably hold off until the new year, but I’m not confident in BBB being passed or Tesla being included (I’m likely wrong). Also, if I keep my current car past January 1st, I’ll owe personal property tax for the full year of 2022 on it, and I can almost guarantee...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This is slightly encouraging for me - as I did an online order with a trade-in and financing, plus have a 3k credit on my account. Only difference if my EDD hasn't budged since my 12/1 OD. Not even gonna lie - if/when I wake up in the middle of the night, I for sure check to see if I've got any...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm relatively new here - but the trend I've been seeing is that the delivery date gets pushed out, and then people suddenly get a VIN within the next couple of days - so hopefully that is the case for you.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    What color interior for yours? This scares me, because I ordered MSM on 12/1, and really hoping to get my delivery in the stated Jan-Feb timeline (though I'd take it tomorrow if they offered). I ordered black interior.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm only two weeks into the waiting - but same for me, and I'm not sure if its a good or a bad thing. It seems as if everyone else's EDDs are moving daily, sometimes multiple times. I feel like I refresh the app 100 times a day hoping to see some movement...and nothing.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ugh - my config except white interior. No way in hell I'd have a car with white interior with grubby handed 9 and 4.5 year old boys. Good luck in the new year, hopefully we will get them fairly close to the beginning of the year :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Oh totally. I research the BBB throughly yesterday, and while it looks probably that it will be retroactive to earlier this year, I didn’t want to change it. That said, if a 2021 Demo is available within a 3 hour drive on 1/1 or later, I’m calling immediately.
