I'll start anticipating it in 2025.

For me, hot days are 120 OUTSIDE. I've seen over 160 for an inside temp. I wish I could keep it active for more than 12 hours.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I guess I'm just more of a nerd than many, wanting to know how it all works.

Well, I know it won't spontaneously combust or anything. But I also know it's not good to leave Li-Ion cells at elevated temperatures for long term, especially at high SOC. I think there's a lot of Leaf owners that can attest to this. The Chevy Bolt does this and it is well known at what...

At what temperature does the battery conditioning cool the battery? Does it vary between plugged-in and not plugged-in? Does this vary for battery type (wife has LFP, I have NCA). It's supposed to hit 114 F next week and I want to know if keeping it plugged in will help keep the battery from...

x1000 There's a stretch of highway that makes several sharp-ish curves. Humans will always move to the side of the lane on the inside of a curve. I can't believe they don't know this and program the car to hang to the inside instead of wandering to the outside. I always have to override AP...

Tesla replaced mine. Fully paid by insurance. Insurance company tried to steer me to Safelite but said I could have it done elsewhere so I got the authorization number and gave that to Tesla. I did not have to pay up front.

I wish. The name is more aspirational.

Of course you can.* Check out this ABRP trip from Phoenix to Las Vegas: *Disclaimer: Given the right circumstances. Speed kills (range). Max speed is 57MPH for the estimate. Definitely not recommended.

I would plan on White Hills on the way to Vegas and Wickenburg on the way back.

He only responds on Twitter and I'm not allowed to be on Twitter yet.

Yesterday I found this thread and was looking into doing this because my wife absolutely needs lumbar, especially since I have the LR for trips so she'll be the passenger on long trips. Hope this gets worked out.

Got fed up with trying to communicate by text to arrange final payment by ACH and just went to Tesla to talk to a sales person. I realized afterwards that I was probably just texting to a bot. Hard to tell the difference between a bot and the average customer service rep that just uses scripts...

Yeah, but I can't even do that. I moved a while back and the banks and credit unions here suck so I just stayed with my old one from out of state. Everything is online now so it didn't really matter. But no way to get a cashiers check and they have a complicated wire transfer policy that...

Don't get that far. I pick my credit union and I get a pop up that they can't use that bank and to try another. If I pick some random other bank I get the log info screen.

When my wife did hers, our credit union didn't show and when cancelled, the "other" option came up and she paid ACH, no linking. Now, our credit union name comes up and it says it can't link to them so try another one. I don't have another one. No ACH option comes up.

Getting really frustrated with Tesla. Hoping someone here can be more helpful. I need to pay by ACH. Tesla keeps saying pay by wire or cashiers check but I finally got them to give me ACH info. They said: "The electronic check payment method is PLAID ACH which is available directly through...

Got email to send updated picture of odometer for trade in. The vehicle has been sitting in my driveway waiting to be traded in. It has the same number of miles as the original trade in offer so they they have no excuse for any bait-and-switch on the trade in price. I hope.

I just got a delivery date range for Tues-Thurs this week but I'll be out of town. I called the local Tesla place and explained I would be out of town and also told them I wanted to pick up, not delivery. No problem. I'm scheduled for Saturday the 26th.

Got a VIN of 179xxx. Worried it's a reject. East coast is getting 182xxx numbers and I get this low number in Arizona? And it's after my EDD went from April 27th to suddenly this week. Not getting hopes up.

Obsessively checked again today and it narrowed down again to Feb 21 to Feb 25. That's just when I'll be out of town, but possibly back on the 25th. Hope it's not an issue.

I went from delivery window starting in 2 days, to put on hold for two weeks, to off hold with a delivery window starting April 27th!!!, yesterday. Then today I get a delivery window from Feb 21 to Mar 2! I think I'm suffering from TDW, Tesla Delivery Whiplash! Hoping it's after next week...

This sucks. At end of January my delivery window bumped sooner, to Feb. 2, and only a 2 week window, but I didn't have the title and registration for the trade in yet so I put it on hold for two weeks. Last week I added the trade in and my delivery went to TBD. I was starting to get excited...

With the touchless delivery (drop and run) we had to keep it and schedule the work about 2 weeks after delivery and they kept it a week and a half. Had a 2018 3 as a loaner. Made us appreciate the improvements since then, especially getting rid of that chrome trim. Phoenix area. Tempe...

I would refuse touchless delivery. It was done for my wife's 3 RWD and it was dropped off in the dark and we had to accept delivery to move it. Luckily the service center was able to fix all the issues but I would not want to count on that happening.

Update: Got the wife's car back after a week and a half. I was very skeptical that they would fix the panel issues adequately and I let them know that clearly. I questioned their gap and mismatch tolerance, which I was told was 4mm (that's too much!) but I was assured it would done to our...

My wife's 3 went from pickup to home delivery to touchless home delivery in the morning and then to touchless in the evening. It was "dropped off" after dark, more like they dumped it and ran. We were forced to accept delivery to move it from the driveway. It's been in the shop a week and a...

What's it going to be used for? The Chevy Bolt is a pretty good around-town car and a capable long distance car and it would cost a bunch less. Just have to get one that has had the recalled battery pack replaced already or plan on having it done in the future. I would avoid buying a used...

Stuck on delivery of "TBD" now. :( I thought that only happened around the end of quarter. Maybe I'm still on hold without it saying so anymore. Well, the official hold was supposed to end on Feb. 16th so I'll see what happens then.

I had placed order on hold until the latest possible date, February 16th. The app status had reflected this and there was just a button for going to account and releasing hold. I've been ignoring it for the last two weeks but thought I'd check this morning. It said to prepare for delivery and...

Just call them and they'll reset it and it will allow you to enter trade in info. I don't think it will delay EDD. Note: I had them do this for the trade in and was waiting for it to go through when I put the order on hold. Once on hold the trade in value status goes away and there's only the...

Delivery jumped today from Feb. 12 to March 12 up to Feb. 4 to Feb. 12. Too soon! So I put it on hold but they said they only will hold it up to 90 days from order date so it only pushes it out until 2-16. I have no immediate need for the car and was hoping to hold out for the hairpin. Not...

Pics? I'm surprised they've admitted they can't fix it. I've only seen that they insist they can fix it no matter how bad and then claim "within factory tolerance".

M3LR/MSM/black/18" aero/No FSD OD: 12-15-21 EDD: Feb 12 to Mar 12

Got car... for now. Bad panel alignment, as reported in Delivery Issues thread. They did a night drop off and run so had to accept delivery to get in and move car. BTW, Intel chip and regular 12v battery, as expected.

Was planning to not sweat the small stuff. I thought the slightly large gap and small offset at the top-rear was not great, but not terrible. But then I got the front A-pillar corner by the mirror. Yuck! The quarter panel is offset from the A-pillar panel by a lot. At first I thought it...

Scheduled delivery moved from tomorrow... to today!

Is there ANY information on HOT weather performance of the LFP battery? Anything? All searches for "hot" related to LFP battery seems to result in nothing but cold related information. I live in a desert! Car will be in a small, hot garage. Likely 120+ F at times. Will the heat from the...

Seems strange for the VIN to be so low. My Sunday pickup is 162XXX.

Delivery scheduled for Sunday, Jan 23rd. VIN is 162xxx. EDD's are too messy to mention due to a few holds.

EDD: Still Jan. 9th to Feb 6th. So it might arrive yesterday. 🤪

When we got down to about 3+ weeks for the SR+, we put a hold on it for several months. Released hold, expecting to be put at the back of the line but it came up as about 3+ weeks so we put it back on hold. Took it off hold again this week and EDD is 3+ weeks from now.

Got a date range after reactivating order: Jan. 9th to Feb. 6th. So... will this absolutely, positively be an LFP battery? Absolutely not? Maybe?

Many moons ago. Put on hold to wait for 2022 and hoping for January delivery. SR+. Base. White.

Hello World! Waiting for my new toy.
