    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    I believe Tesla will figure it out, but like most have said I’d get out of the vehicle after it’s “fixed” asap due to lack of trust. Also, I’m pretty confident the GA Lemon law only applies to New vehicles, as the manufacturer is on the hook to attempt to fix an issue x number of times before...

    Tax, Title, Fees, in Texas

    Some circle talk in this thread, no doubt because of the Texas built vs CA cars. Not sure how a Texas built car would be different than my experience of paying upfront and then choosing a delivery option. For Texas buyers, car isn’t shipped until you pay for it, just like Amazon. Either way...

    Update 2022.20.x — Tesla Release Notes

    Been running 2022.20.5 all week, I swear my 22’M3P feels like it has some pep in its step now. At 59% today, upper curve around 75-100MPH seems like it’s pulling harder. DFW traffic, 75MPH is slow around here, lol.

    Sports mode steering feels significantly lighter

    I’m on 2022.16.2 and sport steering is still light. Regen braking seems stronger to me, but I’ll have to drive it more to confirm.

    Going to order a new Model 3 performance. Should I consider the long range AWD?

    Buy the LR! I’d rather less people have the Performance so my resale value will continue to climb, lol. Seriously though l, sounds like you want a LR, just buy it already bro. Everyone on here had to make their own decision as to which trim level they wanted, remember that, those are the...

    Best practices for buying from someone from this forum?

    100k on blind faith, yeah that’s not gonna end well. Unless you have money to burn, you should look into a third party to protect both of you. A car broker or a local mechanic at the cars location might be a good way to ensure you’re getting what you’re paying for.

    MY Vin assigned. Out of country for 3 weeks. What are my options?

    No more transfers, so all those details regarding location and specs are useless.

    Better resale value: Model 3 LR or Performance?

    Like someone else mentioned above, just buy the trim level you want now. It sounds like you’re struggling with a lot of future what ifs and the price differential now, and how to justify it. Just get the Performance already, your LR+AB will still be a LR in the end.

    Running 2022.12.3.12…both regen braking and Sport steering have been reduced.

    Selling my Model Y Reservation

    Hopefully you have a relative that wants it, if not it sounds like your reservation fee is in the wind.

    Hit and run on brand new Model 3

    What we need is stiffer penalties to discourage behavior like this, it shouldn’t rest on the victim’s shoulders to enforce the laws. My wife was side-swiped like this, and she chased the perp down. While I wouldn’t encourage this, she caught the fool and made him pull over. Local PD said it...

    Working with my HOA to get L2 charging installed... advice on how to make it as cost-efficient as possible?

    Price of copper, approved conduit, City/County permits, unfortunately $20k is probably in the ballpark. My L2 install in my garage was $1k. Commercial work is always ridiculous! I’m not seeing where the incentive is for the HOA though. Most residents don’t like the fees they pay now...

    New Tesla Model 3 extended range locked me out, Tesla refused to help

    You lost us at the title. It’s called the RWD now.

    Autopilot causes an accident. What now?

    Did you read any of those End User Agreements and Disclaimers? Regarding insurance…I mean, if it’s a cash car I can see not carrying full coverage, but wow you must have it pretty good not to care, or for it to not be worth it.

    Tesla Registration with TitleGirl

    You would be paying your sales tax not his. After you get a title, then you can transfer it over to the new buyer and they will have to also pay sales tax.

    Would a Tesla make sense as an apartment owner with shared L2 charging?

    I believe mine’s rated at 315 (‘22 M3P). Either way, you see what I’m getting at.

    Would a Tesla make sense as an apartment owner with shared L2 charging?

    Beat of luck sir, I’m sure you’ll make it work. Sounds like you’re getting it for the same reasons I did, just be aware that range estimates are severely overstated if you drive like I do! Living without your own Lvl 2 charging, you might not be able to take advantage of all that acceleration...

    The catastrophe of FSD and erosion of trust in Tesla

    Too bad it’s not Open Source beta whatchamacallit. Good candy bar if you’re old BTW. I’m sure a lot of this regression people describe can be attributed to the “learning” with the increasing sampling size. If everyone had it to beta test, we could get this thing off the ground in no time...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector wont stop broadcasting SSID...

    This is annoying! I agree with the spectrum usage and the security comments. I’ve been thinking that maybe I can wrap it with some RF blocking mesh, maybe a Mylar bag lol. I know it’s gonna take away from its elegance, but I have no need for load sharing or an SSID blasting away 24/7.

    Edit Design without affecting price now?

    My comment was more for the AB folks who try to justify buying LR over P from an acceleration perspective. If you think about that $6k delta though, every $1k doesn’t move the needle that much either way, especially for the benefits of getting what you really want the first time. Case in point...

    No more Tesla Lease autopay via online banking

    If anyone has any reservations about using Plaid like I did, just setup a separate account at a different bank. Like many of you, I applied for several loans and one of those required a membership via opening a Savings account( & checking). Problem solved, end of discussion. I simply wired...

    Edit Design without affecting price now?

    Funny how all of the LR+AB vs P “value” arguments have gotten thrown out the window now that people understand cash is king. That reservation isn’t saving you any money. If you had ordered a P in the first place, you’d be drivin it by now!

    Model 3 performance ride quality

    Coming from a Jeep Wrangler, my M3P feels normal-LOL. Seriously, this car feels just as stiff and bone jarring, but it’s lower. My kidneys aren’t shaking every time I drive, but it’s close. Having said that, it’s completely what I expected from a Performance model. This car wasn’t designed...

    What's everyone's electricity bill increase to/by?

    Took delivery Monday on my M3P, TWC installed on Tuesday 3-8-2022 and charged from ~49% up to 80%. Lots of other factors involved, but hopefully doubling my Daily KW hours isn’t a trend. Daily usage pics attached. Good thing I only drive 0-50 miles a week!

    Still on software version 2021.43.102

    Same here, but I picked up this week on Monday. All V11 features look to be there, as far as I can tell. Hopefully we’ll get caught up soon. Edit: 47 miles on mine.

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

    I’m awaiting delivery of a 197xxx VIN and was wondering what everyone’s experience was lately regarding M3 panel gaps? Obviously I’ll inspect it, but honestly I think I’ve been desensitized to it by reading everyone’s posts 😂

    Worth buying an M3P at this point?

    I guess if you want an SUV, b/c in my mind the M3 and MY serve very different purposes. Sounds like you’re leaning towards 4680 either way , so I’d say wait a month or two, and roll the dice with a MYP order.

    Going to order a new Model 3 performance. Should I consider the long range AWD?

    I wouldn’t worry, it’ll move around then tighten up. I just ordered 1/17, got my VIN this week and just paid this AM (Texas). Hopefully my EDD window of 3/5-3/9 is the home stretch. Take care

    Going to order a new Model 3 performance. Should I consider the long range AWD?

    OP If you have to ask, then buy a LR. I would’ve went MS Plaid if I could’ve swung it! M3P will have to do, for now..
