    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Interesting. They must have changed the rules for hold. I placed my original order on March 16 and had it put on hold April 28 well before I got a vin. They said I was allowed to put a hold for up to 90 days from my original order date. My hold came off June 14 and I got a vin soon thereafter...

    I also received 2022.24.6 update notification sometime after midnight this morning. FYI to all, under Software Update (Controls>Software>Software Update Preferences) one can choose Standard or Advanced. Advanced is supposed to deliver updates earlier than Standard, which is the default...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Your tenure in waiting reminds me of @JB from the AZ. He had a record number of changing EDD's til he got his M3LR in May or June. Everyone was rooting for him as well. So happy you finally got your VIN! 👏

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Agreed. I did buy a real Tesla OEM CCS1 adapter from Harumio for $309 a little over a month ago. It came in the original Tesla box and fits my Tesla wall charger connector. Haven't had a chance to connect to a non-Tesla charger yet. It was discussed a bit in this forum a couple of months ago.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It all depends where you live. Every local market is different. I live in Delaware and sold my 2014 Prius (hybrid) to Carvana for $20920 on 6/23. Out of curiosity, I submitted the same info tonight to Carvana and got a quote for $21404 for the same car. Hybrids are in demand in my area. Florida...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It does vary by state. I have a Delaware vanity plate and wanted to transfer it to my new M3. For Delaware, Tesla basically states I have to do all the paperwork and footwork for registration, etc. Tesla sent their registration docs to me after about 10 days. I just researched all the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes, you can pay with plaid on the day you pick up the car. That’s what I did. I set up my bank account several days ahead of pickup in the app and it recognized I had enough to cover the final cost in full. Day of pickup, I then hit submit and after it completed I showed it to the SA, signed...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Hey Guys, thought I would pop back in for some updated info regarding the matrix headlights. Several days ago I was driving at night for the first time since I got my Model 3 LR on 6/28. I have matrix headlights (set to Automatic) and noticed that the lights kept switching from low to high...

    Thanks! I know. I could have a different set of wheels for each day of the week! :cool:

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks! I was trying to decide between this Tesla kit and the generic center cap and individual lock nut caps kits on Amazon. Both look good to me, so decided to try this one first and give it a test drive.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Graduation Day! Actually yesterday, but I'm glad it is over with. 103 days OD to DD. VIN 2781xx. Matrix, Michelin, mobile connector with NEMA 5-15 plug and J1772 adapter. 7 miles on the odometer. My experience was good, no issues. The location was not very busy, only a few people ahead of...

    Ordered mine a week ago and just got a shipping notice today. Probably receive it in about one week. Definitely a must have adapter for backup!

    I have not taken delivery yet and it shows in my app under Full Self-Driving. The button is labeled UPGRADE. Click on that and the next screen shows Modify Selection with Basic Autopilot (Included), Enhanced Autopilot $6,000 and Full Self-Driving $12,000. There is an UPDATE ORDER button.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Very similar to my situation. Carvana will be picking up my 2014 Prius in about an hour for 20,920. Tesla offered 16,200, Carmax 15,500, Algo 17,700.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I've read some reviews and the consensus seems to be that Michelins last longer but are somewhat noisier, however Hankooks are quiet, smooth riding and wear rather quickly.

    I've heard, "Save your money for a few years, prices will come down...there are less expensive cars out there...not enough places to charge...you don't need two cars...Tesla has lots of problems (crashes, battery fires, etc.). My response, "This is my retirement present to me from me. I earned...

    It's just the natural expansion and contraction of the universe, er, I mean the EDD, lol. Your order date is one day before mine and your config is exactly the same. You're on the west coast and I'm on the east coast. I received my VIN on 6/15 and am scheduled for delivery on 6/28. I...

    Received text to schedule tentative delivery appointment. Went to link but shows message no appointments available and to call Tesla. Called and advisor gave me three days to choose from, June 28-30, all 12-5 pm. I chose Wed, June 28 at 12:00 pm. I'll keep everyone posted if it changes due to...

    Delaware has no sales tax…yay!…but they have a “document” fee for registration of a new car at 4.25%. Bend over 😬🤣

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just got a call from a Tesla advisor (Nevada) on the trade-in side. He wanted to provide me with a new trade-in quote and answer any order related questions I had. I told him I just got a crazy high quote from Carvana but would still be curious to see what their latest offer is. They'll send...

    Got off phone earlier with corp SA and was told I have matrix and Michelins. He said car is in transit and should arrive between June 24-June 30. He also confirmed I can pay via direct debit (ACH) on the day of delivery before accepting vehicle.

    Well...talk about quick updates...VIN 278xxx assigned moments ago! EDD is now June 23 - June 29. Close to the middle of my first EDD of 6/10-7/22. Now...have to tell the wife...🤞

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thought I would provide an update on my situation as I had put my order on hold which expired yesterday, 6/14. My SA, who appears to be my local SA since he responded to my original order text, told me Tesla allows my order to be on hold for a maximum of 90 days from original order date. A...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Similar situation in Delaware here. I switched to Nationwide from State Farm and saved ~300/yr. on two vehicles and home. Since we don't drive many miles/yr, they have a smart miles program which monitors/charges you for miles driven. Similar to Tesla insurance, but not as intrusive. They...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Sorry, I forgot to clarify. You are correct. In this case, 30% of light is blocked and 70% of light is allowed to pass through. So, 30% tint (VLT) would allow only 30% light to pass through and block 70% of that light.

    Arizona definitely needs darker tinting to survive the heat and save your eyes!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Delaware laws allow 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission which is same as 30% tint) on the front side windows and anything on the rear side windows and back window. As a general rule, no tinting is allowed below the AS1 line on front windshields. I inquired about tinting at Tint World in...

    Back in 2019, Tesla applied for a new vehicle dealership license in Delaware and was denied on April 19, 2021. Tesla requested a closed-door hearing with DE Dept Of Transportation (DELDOT) on June 23, 2021, but nothing ever came of it. Here's a link to the article Tesla Challenges Delaware Law

    Has anyone had experience with Tuxmat floor mats? They are pricey, but look luxurious and I like their high walls that protect the front console fabric sides. Reviews generally seem good. They don’t make trunk/frunk mats, but those can be had for less $$$ elsewhere. There is a separate TMC forum...

    What??? I would have thought VINs with 260xxx and a build date of yesterday would surely have matrix. I hope your SA is incorrect. 🙏

    I just flip on the breaker and watch the brief light show. Very entertaining. Then I flip the breaker off until next time.
