If I remember the details of the latest consumer reports data on Model 3's correctly the general theme was that there were above average "issues" with the cars but WAY above average brand loyalty. I think that stems from the fact that almost all the cars have a little something: a rattle, a...

Normal. Each side serves a different purpose and therefore different hardware. The left side is the actuator. The right side is just a gas strut.

Nice try! Looks like Flatbroke learned Photoshop. Kidding aside, super glad to see it! I really only check in here every day to see what is going on with your car.

I would never street race. But if I did Id make sure that the annoyingly loud car next to me with 80 horsepower of stickers and wings knew that he was still about 300 hp too short.

I have had it as well. 2 week old M3P. I scheduled service and they got back to me stating it’s a known firmware bug and that SRS is still active and fully functional.

You mentioned asking the rep where they are manufactured. They are built in Luqiao, China at the Geely factory (they own Volvo now). The Volvo XC40 is manufactured in the same plant, as far as I know but would make sense given they use a lot of the same underpinnings.

Ppf installed. Tint: 70% windshield, 35% fronts, 20% everywhere else including panoramic roof.

Update: 1. The rattle from the front passengers side was from the fender liner. This is a fairly well known issue and took me about 2 minutes to fix with some automotive weather stripping. Lots of posts about this but I can go into detail if someone wants me to. This is so minor it should have...

Mine goes in today! Ill post some pictures when its done. Hoping it looks as good as yours does!

Block him. Guy hates Elon so much I wonder why he even wants a Tesla.

Yes, they do. Mine came this morning. The gist of my message was "Love the car, dislike the inconsistency in both assembly and service experience." My car is well put together. Had one very minor issue with a speaker screw being loose. My contact with sales advisors has been 99% good. But I...

1. Yes, they will. Sales advisor can do it. 2. Yes, they can. Sales advisor can do it. 3. Likely. Only way to know is to talk to the financier and see what additional information or changes they require. 4. No way for us to know. Sales advisor will schedule. Clearly, being nice to sales...

I paid $1500 to run mine. A pretty long run and quite a bit of work to cut drywall and run in the plenum space between the first floor ceiling and second floor subfloor. But of that cost, a little more than half was just the wire. I think 6AWG 3 conductor wire is selling for around $6/ft...

I read that link when you posted it yesterday. I didn't see anything conclusive that said 90 would be any worse than 80. Did I miss something? 80% is totally fine for my daily uses and I could certainly not charge as high.

So on the site there are actually two versions of the mobile connector kit. It has a dropdown link. One includes the 14-50 and one doesnt.

Ive been charging mine to 90 every night. Ive read from a variety of sources that 90 and below is safe and there's almost no difference in degradation between 80 and 90.

If you limit yourself to just 60% of the packs capacity Id wager 150-160 miles range. I have been using some route planning tools for a roadtrip coming up this weekend. PHX to LA, just stopping twice for 25 minutes each. This is based on me leaving home with 100%, targeting no less than 30%...

Those of you who picked up and received the mobile charger: What adapters did your kit include? I have the J1772 adapter and also the Nema 5-15 cord. I thought there would also be a Nema 15-40. Just want to see if I got shafted or if they are including just the lower tier kit.

Whats the latest @Flatbroke ? I liberated some electrons at a high rate for you on my drive to the office.

I said I’d report back if I found anything else and here I am. Yesterday I heard what sounded to me like a bolt sliding inside the drivers door panel on braking. I know some would say “perfect, make an appointment.” However I’ve always been a car guy and I like wrenching. I want to become an...

Pumped for you, too! My service center never had a P in MSM. And Ive never seen a MSM with the ubers on this side of town before. Looks even better than I imagined.

Youre going to love it man!

Drop off went very smoothly. It was a member of the sales team that dropped it off. They are helping out with every facet of delivery due to the sheer number of cars they have on the lot right now. She said this location is delivering 500 cars this month. Insane. She had me sign pretty much...

Just got a call from the local SC. Car is ready (3 days early) and will be delivered to me this afternoon between 12-4! They absolutely would not schedule me for a SC pickup. He made it sound like they were drowning in cars and needed to get them off the lot to make room for more coming in...

Who is doing it?

Smartfilm. Power/McKellips in Mesa. Dropping off at 10am with a pickup at 5pm. Im assuming they will have more than one guy working on the car. $1500 for the full front PPF which includes the door edges as well. Theyre removing the front badge (chrome, yuck). Xpel Film. $540 for the highest...

I just made my PPF and tint reservation for this coming Wednesday. As much as itll pain me to pick the car up Monday and hand it over a day later I want to get it all done while things are still shiny and new. They said it'll take their guys just a day to do! Doing full ceramic tint on 100% of...

You’d have to read back through the t thread but user Flatbroke has had an impossible time getting straight answers about why his car has been pushed back repeatedly. So I was suggesting you ask your honest sales advisor about his reservation number to see if he can give some insight. Probably...

You should have your honest SA look up Flats RN

They could crank that thing out at 4:45 on the 30th and still get it to you.

Has anyone here gotten this "June or Delay" text?

Link?

Not even kidding I play both. Haven't touched the sax since Jr High Jazz band but Im pretty sure I could dust her off for a special occasion.

What did they tell you?

At this point I'm just stopping random people on the street and rolling down my windows at stoplights and saying "Hey. Keep flatbroke in your heart." And they give me a thumbs up. I'm doing my part!

Ill give them until the morning to respond. Otherwise Ill stop by on my way to the office in the morning.

They had me set up for home delivery (no idea why), which I scheduled. But I did send a text asking if they had an earlier date if I switched to service center pickup.

Amen. No naysaying around here. This place runs on hope and dreams!

Delivery scheduled for Monday. Its was almost the perfect fathers day!

Going all in. Stay stronk.

I think @Flatbroke needs some love guys. Lets all join hands in prayer for this poor soul. Its coming man! Hold tight! 💎🙌

USAA uses a DFR "Dealer Funding Request". Basically you give it to Tesla and Tesla goes and gets the money so you aren't in the middle of it. Not a credit risk / rating thing. Just to streamline the process.

Did you not have a dealer funding request form from your lender? I just gave Tesla that, and they said they'd handle the rest. I just have to sign the MVPA when I pick up.

Gosh that red is HOT!

When a man is willing to drive around in a vehicle thats been tainted with another mans scent....true commitment.

The apple EV rumor mill has been churning for over a decade now. Under Jobs I might have seen it becoming true. Apple is shifting more and more to their mobile devices. Wait a second, cars are mobile.....and also devices..... Apple EV confirmed.

I love that Tesla isnt smoke and mirors when it comes to prices, sitting in that awful office with the clown trying to sell you service plans (and if you didnt know that clown is usually promoted to that spot because theyre the top selling clown at the dealership). I am a supremely calm guy and...

Its so hard to tell if its all smoke and mirrors or just coincidence.
