If someone from Tesla marketing or sales were reading this thread, they would immediately downgrade the stock vehicles performance to make the boost upgrade less debatable.

I think as we have more and more EVs on the road those fractions of seconds at any charge level will count. For now, sadly, its mostly ICEs around you, and Im really just yawning when dealing with them on lane changes or otherwise, even with the stock car on 'CHILL'. Still Ive had less than a...

Figured it out with help from a mailing list at work. Turns out you have to take ( or re-take in my case ) a survey where you should mention you have an EV. The option lights up immediately after that.

Im still getting used to 'STANDARD' setting and the expressions of bewilderment on all passengers when ramping onto a freeway. Not sure why I'd need a few more fractions of a second worth of performance when Im still scared of 'STANDARD' and mostly drive on 'CHILL'. Is there any functionally...

Hello to anyone still watching this thread, I bought a model 3 and have been charging it in super off peak hours. I am on a non-EV plan, however I am unable to switch to one online. It appears to allow me to switch to any other non-EV plan but it won't let me click the "enroll" button for the...

Sweet, I also noticed that my Wh/mi is best ( < 200 flat roads and not too much headwind ) when at 55 - 65, anything over and drag becomes dominant, under that, well gaining fewer miles for each Wh spent. I see that its quite easy to just write some python code to get that info, but I dont have...

Wow that looks like 99% efficiency in the last leg. Way to go! Would these or some other apps let you export this data as a json, csv format etc?

What is the best app to collect this kind of data and play with it? From what I've read about temps and efficiency, Im probably operating in an optimum environment. I'd like to see how far off I am from optimal performance. Mainly because I may never know if my car is as bad as OP until I drive...

Appears to allow me to add to cart. I’m guessing it is.

Yep, just wheel covers/hubcaps. You never want to make the wheels(or anything that spins) any heavier than they need to be. Instead of designing the entire wheel alloy for aero gains, the alloy just provides structural strength while the lighter covers provide the necessary aerodynamics.

Brought her home today. Next step remove the aero wheel covers and install the caps. Incredibly no issues seen. Spent over a half hour inspecting. PS. I’m not driving in “Chill” mode for a few weeks. Love the power in Standard.

Good to see so many deliveries. You won't be remiss in forgetting its the same group of anxious people dreaming up insane theories on when they will get their VINs. Plan to add myself to this happy bunch tomorrow! 🏎️

Its funny, the first time I tried ( couple of days ago ) the difference between TI and Geico quote was a no more than $40, today its about $200 in favor of TI. Go figure!

Has anyone who got Tesla Insurance and is Financing ( not Tesla ) been able to get Tesla to send the policy coverage documents to Financial Institution/LienHolder? I called Tesla Insurance and the agent added the Losspayee as requested, but said they have no way of faxing/mailing/emailing proof...

I think what OP meant was the process won’t go any further than an approval ( which lets be honest is very simple and super fast ) until your MVPA is uploaded which in turn you will only get when there is a VIN.

When I was looking at accessories in the shop - I saw there is a refresh version of the Aero covers. Is that even for 2022 models or only for pre-refresh ( the app didnt seem clear )?

Sweet, I was thrown off by the MSM in the signature. She's a beauty, especially the white interior and blue combo.

Wow! is that MSM? It looks blue if not a trick of light.

Im not sure I understand, why did you have to reship to Tesla? You can carry the check over when picking up is what I understood from SA.

Yep, had a 4 hour wait time, but did it anyway, Got that sweet 1.24%. I asked them to ship it to me, but did not mention a trakcing number or picture of check.

Yes, got the text next day of completing insurance and downpayment in app. ( Loan docs are outstanding but I see the green tick ).

From what I've seen, it appears to be a wave of deliveries from the east coast to the west coast. Baring a few oddities, I gathered this from the VIN #'s which generally increase that way from east to west.

Sometimes its just when it was shipped. You can ask your SA though, Ive seen folks asking and getting to know.

Fingers crossed that date sticks 🤞

How long did DCU take from uploading MVPA to shipping check?

Here we go. Now hoping DCU does the loan thingamajig in time.

It might depend on your state laws. You can check with your SA as I did. I was told that as long as the insurance was active and not expired at the time of delivery that is all they need. It does not even need to include the Tesla on the insurance. I did this and it completed that step. I will...

I got it today, a Sunday.

Thats interesting. I see them both quoting nearly same ( Geico was expensive by about $40 ). For now, I just added my current insurance info. I guess the question really is if there is an advantage to using Tesla Insurance for Tesla vehicles. Id be ok paying a little over if there was.

Finally, got the text. Have a VIN now. 200XXX. EDD is now 3/8 - 3/12. Looking up insurance now. Im getting nearly identical quote from Geico and Tesla ( same insurance parameters ). Is there any benefit of Tesla over conventional providers?

My EDD got pushed back to another window 3/7 - 3/21.

Are you trading in? I got the same call/text from my SA. But I told him I had previously rejected the trade in offer and asked if they were revising it.

I got pushed back today to 3/5 - 3/30. Not quite into April, but I suspect that might happen in the next one, unless I get a VIN.

Don't changes to auto rates typically lag behind mortgage and other interests whenever such adjustments are made? I may be wrong, I am only repeating hearsay.

Well, I guess based on your dates and what @disneygirl420 posted I believe I will receive the same tomorrow. And that would be encouraging, because the pessimist in me is fearing a push back to April. :) Oh Tesla(or VIN)! Where art Thou!

I did some "research" when looking up electrical connections at my place back when I was deciding on the right charger setup. A wall charger won't work for me because I have pre 1996 built home where the ground and neutral are the same ( a strict no-no per the 1996 NEC codes ). The ground test...

Besides, its fun finding patterns :)

Probably will on 2nd March. For now your info suggests I should get a "soft match" soon. Keep looking at source I think you should either already have one or will get one there sooner than dates suggested.

Congratulations, thats great! I called too and did not get a very helpful agent. I was just a fly she wanted to swat away asap.

Correlation does not equal causation. Unless we have a sizeable number of such data points its impossible to say either way.

Thats great, thanks for the clarification. What phone number did you call?

VIN. I’m assuming you didn’t check? It’s possible it was there or on the verge of being there. I wish Tesla made these things more consistent.

Do you know by any chance if it was already showing in the source code? Also, which phone number is this?

Where are you ordering from? LA or Chicago? If you are picking up from SoCal, Id say its interesting because I feel that a few us with very similar specs in SoCal were getting roughly the same EDD ( ~ first 2 weeks in March ). I suspect some of us if not all will be getting a VIN at the very...

Hope sure, but more like envy :) That is a great timeline. Unless you got one from the existing inventory, I'd say you are luckily in the very few who have been matched with a VIN that fast.

sadly no. What about you? ( Dont see your details in signature or otherwise ).

Competitions already there. Once they open up their charging network then it will be a fair fight.

Yeah I got lucky I got the 10-30 in two weeks of constantly refreshing the page. Email doesn't work, dont rely on it.

Got an EDD update to 3/2 - 3/16. A VIN would have been nice though.

Though I am not sure what anyone can do with it, wondering if you still want to share your RN# widely.
