Soooo…fast forward to Jan 2024…had the same issue! I added my destination to the nav in the car and it planned 2 stops. Fortunately, I was eating so I let it continue to charge after it said the car said I was good to continue at the first charge stop. When I left the charger, it estimated 29%...

Mine broke off last nigh when I unplugged it. Have no idea what happened. I live in Northern VA and The repair was quoted at $205 which isn’t bad, but the service center is an hour drive. We have a local mobile tech but it wasn’t showing him available for almost 2 weeks…i did text him this...

Has anyone metered the new front layered glass windows on the M3?? I know the single layers came in at around 80% VLT but haven’t heard of anyone checking the layered front door windows. In VA, we have a small buffer but if that front is now much less than 80%, it could throw things off.

With regards to safety, this simply isn’t relevant. If the OEM is going to provide a feature, it must be inherently safe to use. With regards to the PB that many people, including myself, are experiencing, it simply isn’t safe. I had a PB issue where the car quite literally slammed on the...

I’ve owned my M3 now for about a week. I’ve used the autopilot on multiple occasions. Its done a fine job when on roads where opposite direction traffic was separated by a median…but on 2 lane roads with opposite direction traffic, it was downright dangerous and unusable. Today, I had it on and...

My OD was 1/31/22. I waited about 1 1/2 month…it does look like the EDDs are further out now…hopefully, you’ll get a car soon

I just took delivery of my M3 last week…so far, i find the Cruise and AP to be, essentially, unusable. The amount of aggressive braking for no apparent reason when driving in traffic is just unsafe. I haven’t had the brakes “lock up” yet, but I’ll be driving and , out of nowhere, it will start...

Finally got my M3 and am getting settled in. I wanted to write a brief (as possible anyway) post about the overall experience and initial impressions. First, the delivery process…not a fan at all. Way to many cars parked way to close together, IMO. At our initial delivery appt, the car was...

yeah, its starting to look like used car values are dropping back to earth. Not 3 weeks ago, I got an offer from Carmax for my old Camry for $6300 (it matched the TrueCar value to the dollar)…FAST FORWARD… Today, while i haven’t been back just yet to get an updated appraisal, all valuations of...

Same here…I’m trying to shield them from my 2 kids. Is the seat heat now totally ineffective or just partly diminished?

Thanks for the feedback! I was concerned about the loss of seat heat, given that it is the recommended primary means of heating in cold weather (to save on battery consumption).

So, good question. The short answer is, not at first. With third party financing, the entire loan application process is done outside of Tesla. Given the erratic, unpredictable nature of the EDDs, the timing of starting the financing approval is tricky. I didn’t want to do it right out of the...

Sure…so in your account, you will see under the photo of your car (once you pull up the actual order, so go into the manage order section…)..anyway, you will see the word “overview” and next to it is an “i” with a circle around it. Click on the “i” and it will bring up a sort of checklist with 4...

For what it’s worth, I had chosen 3rd party financing option when initially ordering. I called and asked them if everything looked ok and finished, because the Complete profile was still unchecked. The SA said it all “looked good”. Several days later, it was still unchecked and that just...

Cool..didn’t mean to pry

just curious…does your profile show complete?? Have you by chance selected 3rd party financing?

Woke up this morning with a VIN…195xxx New EDD 03/13-03-17

Hello all, So I’m considering a set of Taptes Napa seat covers for my new M3 to arrive soon. With young kids, I want to preserve the seats for as long as possible and from what I can tell, Taptes covers are as close to OEM look as you can get. I wanted to get feedback from anyone who has...

If it’s a clear, gloss PPF, I would agree that it’s a lot for a little… However, if you’re going with a PPF wrap (such as a matte look, or color change), then it could make sense in that context. I’ve seen these come with a good warranty (I think around 10 yrs in some cases). From what I...

Are you picking up in Richmond or Sterling?

Just curious…was the text just “reach out” to see if you had a trade in or was it specific to a trade in that you entered with your order? I got a text asking if I had a trade in…does that mean I may be getting close to vin?

The CU isn’t based on N VA…but it’s Alliant

So originally, I chose third party financing too…I noticed that it didn’t show my tasks complete. I finally called and they changed to cash, which immediately showed complete and I then got a date range for EDD. They told me to call back once I got a vin and they’d change it back to third party...

So, admittedly, I did not get a TI quote from Tesla…figured they wouldn’t be too interested in my 10+ year Toyota. That said, I did get a quote from Carvana…it was horrible. I would recommend letting Carmax take a look at it. I got the best offer from them (considerably more than Carvana). It’s...

Those are the ones I’m considering too… I may put some double sided 3M tape or maybe foam/rubber behind the edges to keep debris from getting behind there. Also, FWIW, they have a delivery checklist that seems pretty good. https://blog.tesbros.com/tesla-delivery-checklist/

We do all sort of behave as if Tesla has “bestowed” the ”privilege” of buying their cars upon us. In what world should we ever be concerned about an SA not being ”lenient” if we are a couple minutes late…or being timid about asking them to adjust a headlight thats not aligned properly. As for...

Woke up to another update… EDD4: 03/07-03-20

Thanks for this info…I’ve been looking for these details and haven’t found them anywhere else. Did you record these times or did you find them from a broader data source? I am waiting on my VIN for my M3 LR AWD…for a lot of the reasons mentioned here, i decided against the M3P. I may drive it...

Update this morning on my app: Ordered 1/31/22 Northern VA M3LR, Blue/Black, 18s EDD1: March EDD2: 03/15-03/30 EDD3(today): 03/03-03/30 Not sure what that means…wider range but front end has been pushed up. Guess we shall see.

So first, I'm not sure what everyone means by "my SA". How did you get an SA? I have no call or direct contact from a person. Only contact I have had is contact I initiated. With regards to the third party financing, I set all that up in the order...put the lender, planned financed amount...

I mean non Tesla financing like a credit union. I put in all the info but it wasn't showing complete. Not sure why the first person I spoke to didn't tell me that when I asked. This advisor noticed it right out of the gate

I ordered exact same car several weeks ago and am still showing end of March time frame. I'm in northern VA so not too far away. I originally chose outside financing...BIG MISTAKE. I even called when I did it and the advisor said it everything "looked good"...even though the profile didn't...

Thanks for the info on the suspension…that is helpful. Regarding the input on the depreciation, I get your point. I suppose I didn’t think of it that way. I certainly don’t consider myself and “enthusiast”, and therefore don’t think like one…what you say, in that context, makes sense...

For those of you that used a third party lender, what was the process like. Did you buy using the “cash” option and then secure financing, or did you use the lending option and then somehow specify a third party lender in the purchase process?

…ALSO i don’t anticipate replacing the tires with another set of Pirelli’s…I’d probably go with a Michelin or something like that…I priced some 20 inch Y rated Michelin A/S sports…not too terrible…less than $1300 for a set and they are warranties to 45K miles. Anyone go that route (or similar)...

Thanks to everyone for all the input. I suppose that, besides having a car that can run to 60 in the low 3’s, I was considering the Performance because I sort of thought it would depreciate less and not more…given that there are simply less of them. Maybe I’m wrong on that. So from what I’ve...

Hello All, I came across this club while doing some research on Teslas. I‘m looking to buy a Model 3 in the next few months and want to make sure I make and educated decision. One of my main concerns is maintenance costs. I am considering getting a Performance model but am concerned that...
