    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Just ignore the invite. Once the production run of Foundation Series is over, regular CT invites will go out. I got this straight from Tesla today.

    Navigation bug with supercharger locations

    I selected a starting location in South Mississippi to a destination in Central Mississippi. I started the trip and wanted to see what Tesla chargers were along the way. When I tapped the ‘Charger’ icon from the menu in the upper right side of the map, charger locations from Atlanta GA were...

    How small of a paint chip would you worry about?

    Had a big truck swerve in front of me on interstate undergoing construction. Big rock hit my hood but missed the windshield. Now I have three marks on the hood about the size your describing. You can see the white underneath the red paint. I also would like to know about rust. I ordered the...

    Vendor Calipers vinyl wrap for Model 3

    I like the idea of your product and watched the install videos. Glad to see an entrepreneur getting into the game and providing customer inspired products. I would like the pro version but agree with others the cut out letters are not as appealing. Printed on the wrap in white would also be...

    Understanding charging info on screen

    Thanks for the layman terms. It makes sense to me. I know understand what the screen is telling me. 👍

    Understanding charging info on screen

    The licensed electrician installed a 50amp breaker using #8 wire for a run of 23 feet. It is a dedicated circuit. The charger is a brand new Tesla Corded Mobile Connector I received on Tuesday.

    Understanding charging info on screen

    I’m charging at home with my new fixed wire mobile charger. Fixed wire charger is rated for 40A. Wonder why it’s not reaching it’s full potential.

    Understanding charging info on screen

    What does the 9kW . +13 kWh . 38/38A . 242v translate to for those of us not versed in electrical jargon. What is it telling me?

    Why is my registered key card an "Unknown Key"?

    It’s July 21, 2022 and I have the ‘unknown key’ issue. Latest update (2022.20.5) did not fix it. Service technician told me not to worry about it since the card functions. A future update might fix it. Yeah, right!

    🎉🎊💕Graduation Day!!! 🎊💕🎉 According to Siri, it’s been 107 days of glee, disappointment, frustration, anger, complacency, hopefulness, giddiness, and joy. I really have enjoyed this forum as its been very therapeutic during the entire process. I’m moving on to other forums and glad people like...

    LOL, your picture has glare on the headlamp right where you can easily tell which type. Is there a large round bulb at the beginning of each headlamp with reflectors after that? If so, the lights are Matrix.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    So you shot the messenger? 😝. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. I’m picking my car up tomorrow morning and I still won’t believe it until it’s done. I called this afternoon to confirm ‘no issues’ as I was afraid I would be in the same boat as you. One guy posted he flew to pick up his car...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Daily Countdown: 24 hours 🤩. If (and that’s a big IF), all goes according to plan, this time tomorrow I’ll be taking delivery of my M3LR. I definitely did not think it was going to take this long. The main thing that keeps me sane is playing the role of understanding husband. My wife ordered...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think your story answers why it was rejected. Nobody wants to pay that kind of money only to have some sort of issues on the first day. Good that you were patient and have all the proper bells and whistles. That’s quite the shift, MSM on Black to White on White, Aero to 19” sport. Did the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Since this is the waiting room, I thought I would throw out a question about Ceramic and PPF. I plan to PPF the front cap only but wanted to get an opinion about ceramic coating the whole car then have the PPF installed. Or do people only ceramic the part not covered by PPF? How about it...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Daily Countdown Update: Now 48 hours (seems shorter to use hours instead of days 😝). Keeping optimistic for an early delivery and hope no delays. It’s nice to see the flood of people getting their car and only reporting no or minor issues. Looks like Tesla is ramping up production but keeping...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Update to my Day 3 countdown. Called SC today and was informed the car arrived and is being inspected. Due to the large number of orders received, I will not get an early pickup date and need to prepare for the possibility of it being delayed a day or two 😩. ”But I have an appointment”. Just...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I agree with this. Until you sign for the car, it belongs to Tesla and shipping damages are not reported to any accident tracking entities. Once titled, any accidents will be reported (or are suppose to 😝.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You can upload a current policy that does not mention the Tesla but once you get the ‘Select Pickup appointment’ text, the card needs to show the Tesla with at least 60 days of coverage left on the policy. I use Geico and they provided a card showing my Tesla with an effective date of June 7...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Countdown is now down to 3 days…. Car is suppose to arrive today so I’ll give them a call this evening to verify. Still hoping for an early delivery. 🤞
  23. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That was my solution. I’m lucky as progressive lens don’t bother me. I adjusted to them right away.
  24. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I had the same issue. Call Tesla and it will take them 10 seconds to fix the issue. Make sure you have already uploaded the proper insurance card beforehand.

    Wow, you get FSD and the daily commute will be a breeze!🤩

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Good luck on everything as I’m anticipating the same in 4 days. I’m still hoping they‘ll call me and ask if I want to pick it up early 😜

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The countdown continues and now at Day 4. My SA gave me a small glimmer of hope when he told me the car may be ready earlier than 6/14, provided it comes in as scheduled (6/11). Space is tight at Eatonville so I’m hoping they try to move them fast.🤞
  28. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My experience has been texting the SA is very sporadic. Usually, its a response to a phone call but never from a message I sent.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I called my SC to get an update (car still hasn’t arrived) and he told me it’s due in on Saturday. I told him all tasks are completed and I’m ready to pick up now. He said ‘Great, I’ll add this to your notes’ then commented, ‘We get extra points if we deliver ahead of schedule’. Hmmm, extra...

    Please feel free to rant! This forum has been very therapeutic, giving me assurance, commiserating my pain, and providing a wealth of info on the process (Thanks T-J).

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I didn’t get a three day window. I was given one day, 6/14. I don’t know if that’s SC specific or possibly a temporary concern when flooded with deliveries.
  32. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    And the countdown continues. 5 days left (unless Tesla pulls a fast one 😩. I went by the SC this morning and it’s still not there. I know they say to allow 2 days to prep/inspect/update/etc but it’s cutting it close.
  33. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’ll let you know 😜. 6 days away for me. 🤞

    Both are making a point. Free speech, remember? That’s how it works.

    Ask anyone with experience between the Intel chip and the Ryzen chip. FSD with the Intel chip is crap. You need the faster screen refresh provided by the Ryzen chip, especially with all the new graphics seen in the FSD beta. I would bet the person is getting rid of the car with the older chip...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Mine left 5/19 and it’s still not at the SC. I check frequently. It’s suppose to be in soon as I have a scheduled pickup date of 6/14.
  37. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Starting my countdown, exactly 6 days to go until I pick up my M3LR. Tossing around a few names in my head and will settle on which one pops in when I first see it. I have one more fill up required on my truck. Gas today is $4.75 at my favored station. Thanks goodness it’s only a 15 gallon...
  38. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I thought that too, given the distance between Birmingham and Eatonville. My car left on 5/19 and it’s still not at the SC yet (cause I drove by there today to see 😜).
  39. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That’s the best post I’ve read, (except for T-J’s graduation post)
  40. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Cheaper, readily available (compared to Model Y), smoother ride, quieter ride, and (for me) looks better.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats! She’s a beauty! You and Captain Jack will be the envy of the lanes 😜. Glad your sticking around for the newbies. Elon should give you some free charging miles for all you’ve done for future owners. 😊
  42. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    No dad? I’m sorry to hear that. Unless auto-correct did you in 😜. I’m sure you meant FSD.😝
  43. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think your right. While we’re talking Model 3’s, how do you explain the long wait times for Model Y’s and even more to the point, extreme wait times for Model S and Model X. Much higher profit margin so their theory would have Tesla pumping these cars out all the time.
  44. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It’s amazing to me how many M3Ps are sitting around waiting for an owner. People are posting VINs and pickup dates very soon after switching. Thank the stars mine finally showed up ‘cause i don’t know if I could have weathered the temptation.😜
  45. Mwhusa

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I got the email but a lot of my friends already have a Tesla. I can’t imagine what they could tell me that friends and tons of YouTube videos haven’t already taught me.

    Exactly. Computations based on the information at hand, updated continuously. Great for info nerds, not so hot for consumers. Sometimes, too much info or timely info is not good. There needs to be an averaging without so many updates. Also, everyone needs to pay attention to the letters...

    They lowered the price because no one wants to buy one. Not exactly got a stellar reputation (habit of burning down houses 😜).

    It’s very important to remember EDD’s are very volatile. Computers generate them and mistakes happen. There have been posts in the past where the EDD shot way out but within a couple of weeks came back down.

    Maybe, maybe not. It’s a crap shoot. There appears to be no rhyme or reason for the installation of matrix lights. My VIN is 266 and does not have matrix lights. Another poster has a 266 VIN and has matrix lights. I’m in Florida, he’s in California. Some even believe production date was...

    Some states have laws forbidding direct sales to consumers. People in those states have to drive to a ‘consumer friendly’ state to buy a Tesla.
