    2024 owners: Have any of you yet received the FSD trial and subsequent update?

    It's "supervised" Full Self Driving. Got it a few days ago

    Would it be O.K to leave Model 3 unplugged for 5 weeks?

    Seeing this discussion makes me think it would be nice if Tesla had a low power mode that disconnected all 3rd party apps and any non essential functions like sentry and scheduled preconditioning i.e. the absolute bare minimum.

    Free FSD for 1 Month

    I tried it out this morning for the first time after getting the free month notification after the update. Initial reaction is it is truly amazing and amazingly frustrating both at the same time. I'm sure as I learn its quirks I'll feel more comfortable with it but when the month is over FSD and...

    Don’t overlook Tesla Store Events

    Nice write-up @SMAlset I've wondered if these are worth going to but it sounds like it's a yes. At a minimum I always enjoy chatting with other Tesla owners. thanks for sharing

    What tires are you running?

    I bought a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 a few weeks back when I hit 21k on the odometer. I could have gotten a few more miles on the 18" OEM MXM4's but they had lost most their tread and with winter and snow coming I figured it was time. I drive a little on the aggressive side (love...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I always thought that's the perfect combination. M3P with 245/45 R18 tire. You get the best of both world's, upgraded acceleration and brakes with the smoothness of 18" tires. If this was a factory option I would have gotten it but I'm too lazy to sell stuff and didn't want to be stuck with $2K...

    Elon & Twitter

    Elon Musk needs to go, he is clearly a loose canon that can not possibly run a company the size of Tesla right now with any competency. He needs an emergency IV infusion of humility. He is acting more and more erratic every day bordering on Howard Hughes type madness. The best possible thing...

    Elon & Twitter

    Yes is my answer to the thread title. For years I was a fan of Elon because of his message of sustainability and extreme focus on making electric cars affordable and mainstream. I rooted for him and Tesla to succeed the way I do my college football team. He seemed apolitical which was good imo...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You definitely notice a difference! I didn’t get a confirmation that the update went through so I wasn’t sure if it installed or not so I took it out for a little drive and bam! There was no question at all that the update worked. However it’s not cheap and the car already is super fast so its...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I finally took delivery of my car yesterday. Other than a 4 hour delay from the original scheduled time due to the truck car-carrier having a blown tire everything else went smooth. Since I got dropped off I had to wait around but it wasn't that bad and I got a chance to talk to some of the...

    That is an older order date without a vin for sure. I feel for you, I really do. Blue with EAP is a very nice combo btw! Keep us updated with your progress whenever that may be.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I would absolutely not buy a 3rd party CCS1 charging adapter but that's just me. It's one thing to buy 3rd party cup holders and floor mats but for something that is integral to the HV battery I'm sticking with oem only.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just got an automated call from Tesla confirming my delivery tomorrow. Seems like forever ago I ordered this car. Can't wait to finally get it! I think my office co-workers will be relieved that they don't have to hear me talk about the Tesla delivery process anymore after 4 months of daily...

    Although my kids are all teens now and I didn't have a Tesla back then, a seat protector is essential! We always had one beneath whatever baby/child seat they were in at the time and when you take them out and see all the crud in them you'll be glad you used them.

    You have one of the older order dates out there so should be any day now.

    what's your latest edd? Is it a 2 week window?

    Great looking car! You mentioned they are still including the charger, does that also include the J1772 adapter?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It looks like there's a lot of discussion about the rebate and M3LR no longer being for sale etc. When I heard that the EV rebate is being reinstated in 2023 I gave it about 2 minutes of thought and that was it but I never for a second considered cancelling my order. Prices go up and prices go...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got home from my evening run and received the schedule delivery message 🎉 I'm all set for an 8/20 delivery! I can't wait, really don't know how I'm gonna make it through the week.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm in the same boat as you. I set up Plaid in the Tesla app and have the money in my bank account ready to go, I was hoping there's a "review" screen but I'm afraid to click pay becuase I don't want to transfer the money till I see the car but I do want to make sure everything is good to go and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My EDD moved up a little bit and I'm really hoping I'll be driving my new car this month. Happy for all the people who are getting their vins this week. One of my favorite parts of all of this is knowing that I'm getting really close to never having to pump gas again! Well at least not for a car...

    LPT - don't store contacts in a flocked tray!

    As a lens wearer myself that sounds painful. I do keep a spare set of glasses in my glove box for that very reason and an extra set of contacts in my office desk drawer. Can never be too prepared 🤓

    Is this just road debris, or a bit of the car?

    Great call and looks like you were right based on OP comments! User name checks out 👨‍🎓

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congratulations to all of those getting VINs and deliveries this week! Tomorrow will be my 3 month / 90 day milestone. Here's what I've accomplished in that time: Wall charger purchase and install ✅ Buying a lot of unnecessary accessories ✅ Locking up financing and insurance ✅ Learning the...

    Cancelled my Tesla model 3 long range [July 2022]

    @jsteez428 you went with your gut and imo you made the right decision 100%! This is a lot of $$ and if it doesn't feel right or you don't have a solid plan for charging etc. then I wouldn't do it either. I'm guessing you're young from what you said and ev technology and infrastructure is only...

    Don't know about the vins but I'm rooting for you @blonded! Of the active people on here it seems like you have one of the oldest OD's out there right now for m3lr.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I've always wondered this too. Why would anyone not get the dual 5-15 & 14-50 for the same price as just the 5-15?!? Even when they had these in stock they were the same price. Makes no sense to me either but Tesla is "not your father's car company" either so who knows 🤔

    It's great to finally see some movement on April orders as well as finishing up deliveries on the remaining March orders!!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Oh I know. I just meant people who were only checking every once in a while but I guess they're probably not going to be the ones to download an extension to check on this either. But, I don't think this is a bad thing at all for compulsive types like me. I already added the extension and set it...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Great! Basically you let the secret out so now everyone will start to see all of the EDD changes they wouldn't have ever even known occurred when they weren't checking all the time. I think we're going to see a lot more EDD changes below people's signatures 🤣🤣🤣

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Very good decision on your part to only get the necessary accessories! In hindsight I’m starting to think I should have done the same. I’ve filled up a room in my house with accessories for a car I don’t even own yet and every time I look at the door sills that light up and rear seat vent covers...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Very good idea and I did the same thing! A week ago I started worrying about interest rates going up so I figured what the heck and locked in at 3.24% for 72 months, valid through 9/10. My current edd window extends beyond that so fingers crossed I get my car before then because that rate will...

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    Thanks for the review, I was really considering getting these but they were a little out of my price range. I think they look the most high end of any of the floor mats out there and you can't beat that coverage. Looks like it protects everything!

    Maybe they're garbage but not everyone including myself is a fan of the way rally style mud flaps look.

    Skid plate justification

    Is Tesla still using "fiberboard" for these areas on the newer models? I thought I saw somewhere that they switched to plastic but could be wrong. To me it seems inconceivable to use fiberboard as the sole barrier under the car and in the wheel wells but I'm sure they had their reasons (value...

    PPF [satire]

    It does seem a little nuts and where does it end.... you put PPF on your car to protect the paint, then you put ceramic coat on the PPF to protect the PPF and give it some shine. What's funny (or sad) is I'm planning on doing all of this craziness 🤭 However, I do plan on owning this car for 10...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I changed my mind for that very reason, orignally had blue which I still love but the more I saw of the silver the more I liked it so changed my order and saved a grand! My edd did not change after I switched but who knows with that.

    Trunk storage bin question

    So I have been going irrationally overboard on loading up with accessories while waiting for M3LR to show up. One of the things I bought was a trunk storage bin to fill the space on what I thought was both sides. It said "two piece set" and I thought that meant one for each side and shame on me...

    Passed by these eight beautiful newborns on my way home from work today. They were headed to the KC sales/service center and look like they really need a bath before meeting their new parents.
