If I want to use my existing hitch rack, can I have a hitch installed on the model 3? Anything I need to know about that?

I have a model three long range. I would like to be able to mount the bike rack to the back so that I could carry a single bike. I see you U-Haul has some kind of tow hitches that would allow this and there’s something called a stealth hitch. I don’t want to tow anything to be able to carry a...

I could ask my accountant this, but he'd probably charge $100 to answer. I bought my Model 3 last year (2022) when there was no tax credit. But this year, the 2022 is listed as eligible: EV Tax Credit: 2022 & 2023 - Which Cars Qualify & How It Works Does that mean my 2022 would only be...

I recall at least one forced disengagement since getting FSD, but I’m not sure if I have more. Is there a way to track them to see if I’m close to losing FSD? Also, do they ever expire?

I haven't yet noticed any pattern with regard to construction or off ramps. This is happening in the center lane. But I'll the changing the mad-max etc settings. Thannks!

So, I've started using Autopilot on the highway for my two hour, twice weekly commute. I try to stay in the center lane. I've noticed though, that sometimes the car (Model 3), moves me to the left lane when there is no one to pass. And, likewise, sometimes moves me back to the center lane when...

The kid has plenty of game controllers, but I take your meaning. Let him have fun. He's worth more than a set of front tires. Will take that under consideration.

Okay, so maybe I'm a little over-protective of my brand new Model 3, but my kid likes to get behind the wheel and play the cars racing games, and I don't let him because it moves the actual wheels of the car back and forth on the driveway or asphalt and I'm concerned about wear and tear on the...

Just picked up my car, finally! Wow, much more fun to drive then I thought. Feels like driving a race car compared to my Subaru. Owned it for three hours, no regret yet😄.

Just picked up my car. Paid 10k for FSD.

Well now I’m due to take delivery in a week, and I’ve come up with an alternative solution to my energy problem by installing a charger in the apartment that we own where I stay overnight when I commute. That cost $1000 and should do the trick. I’ve talked to a few friends who own model threes...

What about resale value? does FSD add anything? In five years if I decide to sell my model 3, FSD may cost two or three times as much, no? Wouldn't it make my car more desireable?

I don't have any plans to flip, just to use. I've been researching alternatives more, and for what I want, AWD, electric or hybrid, safety, with some fun thrown in, the model 3 does look the best, so I'm thinking I'll keep it when it comes. . . .

I didn't buy one, but I ordered one that was supposed to be delivered. I even paid the first payment. They said they assigned me the wrong VIN, one from a car in Puerto Rico. I don't know why that's so hard to believe, but, regardless, they didn't deliver the car and now say it will come between...

Yup, order delayed till late April or May after setting up a confirmed delivery date for last week. Tesla support confirmed they originally assigned me a VIN for a car that was in Puerto Rico. Guy says he's never seen that before. I'm getting my first payment back, but keeping the order open for...

Hmm, Tesla is making this decision easier for me. They postponed my delivery by a day after we had scheduled a time, then postponed again an hour after calling to confirm, then dropped the date and gave me a new window for this week. Then today that window disappeared, along with my VIN number...

Yes, that PR. I just talked to a rep, and that's what he said, but he is checking it out....

Well, apparently the Model 3 they told me I was to pick up last Friday in GA, is in Puerto Rico. . . . . So I guess I'll have more time to make up my mind :rolleyes:.

Yes, there is still an option to remove FSD. I did have to have them refill the financing when I readdded. It was almost instantaneous.

It's not a condo, it's a single family home

The reasons the electrical estimates were so high were a. the breaker panel is in the basement on the opposite side of the house where the car would be, so just running a line to the garage was quoted at $2k. The electrician said the panel was "over full" already, although the service is 200, so...

The tub does not use an extension cord

Thanks everybody for the great advice. I’m rethinking my rethinking. And in the meantime, Tesla has delayed my arrival… I’m going to check with another electrician if there’s a simpler cheaper way. And if there is my landlord might cover it or part of it. We plan to rent here possibly another...

Exactly what I did.

So it turned out that because I added it (then dropped it) last November, I locked the price in and they honored It.

I do have a 240 volt outlet on my back porch (that I use for a portable hot tub) but the electrician said running an extension chord would be dangerous....

Panel is already over full, apparently

I'm scheduled to take delivery tomorrow of a model 3, but am having serious second thoughts. First because I found out it would cost between 5 and 10k to get the home we rent outfitted for charging. I thought it would be like seven hundred but the electrical panel needs updating. Second, just...

Oh, follow up question. If I add the FSD, what about my finance deal? Will they recalculate that for the additional 10k or will I have to reapply?

My original order (which I delayed) was in November 2021. At one time I added FSD then dropped it. I've got scheduled delivery for March 15-30 (which they've delayed twice now). This is the pricing that shows on my account. $35,000.00 Deep Blue Metallic $1,000.00 Long Range All-Wheel Drive...

Be aware though, if you make any changes whatsoever all current pricing will be in effect. Are you saying if I add the FSD for 10k it could raise the price of the car itself? Or are you saying if I add the FSD and then later drop it, it will raise the price of the car itself? (sorry don't mean...

I have a model 3 on order and still keep going back and forth on FSD. I'll be using the car two -to four times a week from a 120 mile highway drive (besides using it locally). Anyway, as of 3/1/22 on my order account it still lists the price for FSD at $10k despite the price published price...
