Very cool, you know it’s been well maintained :)

I think what the person was saying is that the highest offer is not that simple. Tesla offered me less money than several other options for my trade-in but my trade-in tax incentive by trading in with Tesla was almost $5K. So factoring in that, I got a better deal doing a direct trade in with...

I did the downpayment and financing a few days after getting my VIN. For me the financing and approval step was maybe 30 seconds.

Most dealers (any other brand) are not going to hold a vehicle for very long either, not based on the current lack of inventory for new cars. The difference though is most people put down $250 to order a Tesla. Many other brands/dealers require a larger deposit when ordering a custom car (this...

Yes I love cars, pre-Covid I usually bought barely used ones as you could save a ton. Those days are over and I have one teen who will have his license this summer and two more teens not far behind. So need to buy a kid car. Needless to say the Tesla will have to do for a few years unless...

I am 50 and have owned a lot (and I mean a lot) of "sports cars" over my life. I worked my butt off as a kid and bought a used RX-7 at age 16 as my first car. I owned nothing but RX-7's (all gens) and a twin turbo 300Z for the first 12 years of my driving life. Big JDM guy. Owned several...

I am guessing it was not just a single text. OP, I am assuming Tesla reached out several times (you may not even know if your phone was off).

It's a crapshoot. Mt Kisco was very inflexible with me. I had a two day window and that was it. I had to move a bunch of work meetings around or they told me they would have to let the car go. Crazy. I very much get a Soup Nazi vibe from Tesla..

I definitely hate the wait, wait, wait, oh your car is here you better get it now or we will to sell it to someone else attitude that Tesla has. That said, I think a lot of this one is on you. You pushed the first delivery out (as you mentioned) because you were not ready financially. For the...

I totally agree. In my situation, CT, there are no Tesla dealers authorized here (just service centers) and they cannot do home delivery. While a 2 hour drive each way to the nearest delivery center in NY may seem trivial, it took me about 5 hours between getting the car, inspecting and...

Yes I think so too, but we will see because manufacturers may go back to their old ways. Ford and GM, for example, force dealers to take cars they don’t want and they (the manufacturers) count that as revenue and profit because they sell cars to dealers, not the general public. The unions can...

I was over 100 days too (like 112 days). It sucks when you see others getting their cars way before you who ordered after you but I promise the wait is worth it. Hang in there!

It won’t happen until supply can meet demand, and with continued parts shortages, and supply chain and shipping issues it likely won’t be anytime soon and likely a few years. My local Honda dealer used to have 150-200+ new cars on the lot on any given day. They have 26 listed and I’d wager...

Will my car have Matrix headlights or not....

I think it's safe to assume they have supply chain issues like everyone else right now.

I have a 22 Model 3P. Did not own an S, but from they definitely improved the sound dampening. It's very quiet in the car. I agree that a test drive should tell you everything you need to know, but this car is such a blast to drive.

Have you tried calling the 888 number and talking to someone? It must be waiting on a part. Crazy.

Find a quality shop and have the wood trim wrapped in 3M wrap. You can find pretty much any color combo you want including a matte carbon fiber.

I realize this is a Tesla forum and your trying do get attention but most of your comments lead me to believe you’ve never driven one. The Tesla Model 3 suspension is a double wishbone front with a multi link rear suspension.What about that makes it “terrible for this price range”? They have...

Well I found a major issue with my M3P I picked up Wednesday. A MAJOR ISSUE.... My wife won't stop driving it. She's put about 250 miles on it in two days and keeps looking for excuses to drive it and has not driven her Pacifica Hybrid or our Wrangler hybrid since... Ugh... Might need to...

Likely not. Early June could still happen though depending on when you get your VIN and shipping.

I’d be shocked if you don’t have the matrix lights. The quality of my car was spot on. Zero issues. One other M3P was being delivered as well as a Model Y performance and all three of us had a checklist and were very thorough. No real issues worth noting. I really think the quality is...

I would not make a payment just yet. Your delivery dates can get pushed back again. I used Plaid and it took maybe 5 minutes to sync my account and make a payment.

Have you looked into coilovers from MPP? I also find the Model 3P suspension to be a little too soft and floaty and really like what I am hearing about MPP.

On another note. I listened to an episode of the Smoking Tire Pocdast and Matt Farrah was discussing the huge challenge he had trying to charge his Mach-E recently on a trip. First EV charger wouldn't take his payment. Found another charger and it was not letting him connect via the app...

My original order and EDD had a late March delivery date. It was pretty obvious that was not going to happen early on and to my SA's credit he told me not to expect this but he fully expected a mid to late April delivery. That turned into a later May delivery and I will say communication was...

I really don't like some of the slimy tactics BMW dealers in the New England area are using with the i4 M50. If you look at Autotrader, Cars.com, etc many BMW dealers appear to advertise them as being in stock and ready for sale. When you reachout to a dealer some of them are honest and say...

It's like selling any other car. List it up on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, etc. You will likely get some tire kickers and people looking for big discounts. Just have to weed through those. Just make sure you factor in taxes, registration fees, etc so you know where your breakeven is...

249xxx M3P. Mine has the matrix headlights.

@Tesla if your reading this if you ever offered magnetic dampers and nicely bolstered Recaro seats as options on the M3P I’d buy that car in a heartbeat.

Picked mine up today at Mt Kisco NY. It was hard to let the Supra go, but I’m in the M3P honeymoon phase. For starters, aside from some swirl marks and the car being a little dirty, zero issues. Gaps looked good, no scratches (aside from micro scratches from them washing it which can be buffed...

Good to see people getting cars but still crazy that some of us early Feb orders still don't have ours yet. The Tesla system makes no sense :)

A number of people have had the port repair done and car delivered.

Yes, same here. I think the Performance model gets priority at the end of the quarter when Tesla is trying to maximize revenue and profit.

Unless you need the car ASAP, I would pass. Tesla gives little to no discount and you know people abuse them. They offered me a red M3P that had white interior and 800 miles for $200 off MSRP. As I pushed for more info the SA revealed that it did have a “minor repair” from a “minor accident”...

Mine did this for 10 days straight. Your just waiting at this point for the car to either arrive or your missing a part. I bet you get a delivery date soon, likely by this time next week. It’s frustrating, I started ignoring the app.

I am going to be right around 3 and a half months assuming I get my car next week.

Let us know if we can help with pros and cons.

Well after all my complaining I got a text and my delivery is scheduled for May 18th. Honestly I’ll believe it when I‘m driving away :)

There is nothing wrong with the 20" wheels per say. The stock tires are just very low profile so you have to be careful with potholes. Personally I would drive the car for a bit and see if you like them. Going to a smaller lighter wheel should improve efficiency and tires and are cheaper and...

Well I will say that since that article was written Tesla does seem to have improved quality for the most part. My neighbor bought a Model Y performance a few months ago and it is pretty solid. No issues with paint, no issues with panel gaps. Interior looked great to me and I have an eye for...

It's the only reason I went with the trade-in. Almost $5K tax avoidance. I would come out ahead if I sold it private party but it's a hassle because my current car draws a ton of tire kickers who just want to test drive it.

They were about $3-5K under KBB trade in value for mine. Tesla is not very aggressive with trade in, but there are a lot of factors;

It's also baffling to me how many of the LR cars from people who ordered on or after many of us M3P Feb orders who have not gotten cars are getting their cars (some of the LR deliveries right now are March orders). I think M3P getting prioritized over LR cars may only be true at the end of the...

I am glad you had a great experience at Mt Kisco. I really don't buy the NY inspection backlog story but at this point I will give them the benefit of the doubt and this coming Tuesday (17th) will make 2 weeks since my pickup date was cancelled by Mt Kisco. If I don't have something tangible...

Yeah I am curious if I am the only other person in the forums held up in Mt Kisco right now for inspection delays. He said they have a ton of cars waiting to get inspected which I can see as Mt Kisco is the closest place for anyone in CT like me because CT has banned Tesla from selling vehicles...

After getting nowhere with multiple Mt. Kisco SA's I tried the 888 number, waited 1.5 hours, and actually spoke to someone who was very friendly and seemed helpful. The story on my car. There was a delay with delivery, it sounds like they are short on drivers/transport trucks and just looking...

They are just lighter, and you get way more tire and wheel options in those sizes And they are cheaper. You should also improve your range.

A smaller diameter wheel with meatier tires (the stock ones are thin low profile) will fill the gap.

Having owned and driven both in CT (Contis on a VW Golf R) and Michelin on a C7 Corvette, I would say the Michelins are definitely the tire to get for performance. For winter driving they were fine for me, but I’m in Avon/Simsbury where they keep the roads clear Very well. The Conti tires are...
