Lol i agree the beeps are annoying but I try to keep my car in mint condition ( not saying you don't) and I can't tell you how many times the sensors have helped me from curbing the car or bumping those concrete things in parking spots. I'm not a bad driver and I never used to have the sensors...

Couldn't tell you what I would have bought cause I really wanted a tesla and everything lined up. BUT if I wasn't going to get the seniors AND my software assists like summon would be disabled at purchase would have seriously needed to consider a different company. I bought tesla ( aside for...

I'm still happy I got my car when I did. The price cuts definitely hurt anyone who bought one prior to. But I love my ultrasonic sensors. I use them about 95% of the time I park or enter/leave a tight parking lot. Wouldn't buy the car now. The cameras can't do what the senors can...yet. The...

I'm with you bought mine in September. It is what it is I'm very surprised they dropped though so much.

Could, shoulda,woulda. Anyone who bought the car bought it at a fair price at the time. Plus rates were much lower so its all relative. Prices drop and prices rise that's the way of the world. If you bought the car for resale value that was a very poor decision as rule one of cars is cars are...

Gonna dip my toe in here. I think TSLA is down this year because he bought twitter and has been selling billions of his shares to support that purchase plus the perception that he is now spending too much time at twitter and not at Tesla. However, from what I've seen sales are not down this...

I was saying how they closed "custom" orders which they did. The existing inventory does not let you full customize your order. On the rest yes i agree with you 100%

They have the closed the books on LR3 custom orders for about 4-5 months now if I remember correctly so they have definitely been clearing a back log. Also the 2023 model doesn't feel fully "ready" yet since essentially it just took away USS without really adding anything. Rumors are coming...

So with all the stuff tesla is throwing consumers way right now it is almost guaranteed a major refresh of the model is coming soon. Very tough decision but do consider if you plan on selling the car in the next couple of years it may be worth more to wait for refresh. My logic being that...

Lol man wish I got those deals when I picked up my car in September. But to be honest having the USS right now are worth more to me then 4k and supercharger miles.

So I'll write an update on my post yesterday. Today I tasked the car to drive home from my job. This involved navigating a school district during dismissal, entering and exiting the highway and navigating side streets and main streets home. The car did a great job overall. The only thing was...

Yes this was in suburbs. On two lane straight aways the car is good. But any sharp turn or complicated intersection it starts to stutter. Nothing to crazy just need to get into left turn lane to turn type of thing. But the car keeps stuttering and hesitating and then just runs thru the turn. As...

Just got fsd 10.69 took it out for it's first drive from my house to the gym. About 10 miles at night. Was not good. The car missed every left turn bad and almost caused an accident twice on those turns. Had to take over 3 times. Made a right turn very aggressive too. It was only my first...

Very curious to see where they go with this. I think, like others have said, it will still be a LR3 but many features will be locked behind an additional paywall and/or some of the "premium" interior like the sound system and no mats will be similar to the RWD.

Yes I agree with that assessment. This is the smarter way to it as well. Almost like a real company lol.

I don't think it was the inventory approach. However if you go back in these archives to the start you'll see that people there were getting VINs shortly after placing an order but the car still wasn't made/delivered for a few weeks. We're talking like 4+ years ago Edit I realize my first post...

Typically yes that means you will get the car soon. However Tesla seems to be reverting to their old way of doing things with "inventory" purchases. That is they give you the vin but the car is not ready yet

Hey To all you waiting still wish you the best of luck. Just wanted to let everyone know about a quick something. I've been using the tesla chip repair paint kit here and there but the other day I dropped the blending solution. Found this site chipex and they sell the solution for 5$ a bottle...

Yes every month Musk says they need to stop the pushes and yet as the data shows above every month they follow the same pattern. So while I agree with you that is certainly Tesla's long term plan history seems to show they will follow the above cycle. It is certainly interesting to see the data...

So typically the first month of a quarter is very slow with deliveries. This is the first month of q4. The second month of the quarter has a big east coast favor for about 6 weeks. Towards the final month a large west coast push comes around the 2nd week of the month and continues until the end...

I haven't officially timed it but I assume it's close to the 0.5s they advertise. However like I said before it makes the car overall feel smoother when accelerating. Also I'd say for the same force of the pedal you will go about 10mph faster. One day when I have a chance I'll officially time...

This is absolutely true. I tried to drive it "normal" for the past two days coudln't do it. Bit the bullet and got the accel boost again. Car just feels right now like a little sport car.

It will provide some protection to a rock chip etc however it's not invincible its just a thin layer of plastic. If a rock or sharp comes hard enough it can certainly pierce it. Also someone opening a door or something banging into it can certainly pierce it. Once pierced that area will need...

This is the way

Ppf is not going to help you with a door opening into your car. It's not armor. If anything it would have cut thru the ppf too and then you would have had to replace both which is way more time and money.

So my experiment has concluded. For reference I drove the car on standard mode for 5 weeks. I then bought acceleration boost and drove it on my usual work route for 2 days. At first I didn't really notice a difference. Except when I looked at the spedometer I'd be at 40mph almost instantly...

I get it 100%. It doesn't look too deep. if you buff it out with a polisher, apply the paint and clean it up it might not even be noticeable.

Buy the touch up paint from Tesla it works pretty good. I bought it as a precaution but I had a microscopic scratch inside the trunk I tested it on and it worked

Very sorry to hear your experience. Many of us have had an unfortunate incident while driving and it can defeinitly be hard to move pass that. I've had multiple cars break down on the road. Fortunately I have been able to handle the situation without any major issues. It's certainly not a good...

So, and not trying to be tesla fan boy here, I've had a few instances of "phantom breaking" but I've been able to usually figure out why 1) it only happens with autopilot 2) the car is designed on autopilot to look at the lanes around you. If it notices you are moving much faster then an...

This is one of those things where it gets attention because its Tesla and people want to hate. ICE cars break down all the time too even new ones. Who knows what actually happened its only one side of the story. She also demanded they refund the car but it doesn't work that way with any dealer...

You get 48 hours to return it no questions asked but you can only do it once.

So I started a little experiment today. I bought acceleration boost after driving the car for 5 weeks normal. I'm going to use it today and tomorrow and then return it to see if I notice a difference. It's hard to say right now but I have noticed that acceleration just feels smoother. The car...

This makes a lot of sense and it's good to see the policy being placed down in clear writing

I'm agree fsd is not worth 15k. I have the subscription. However I use autopark, summon and smart summon everyday. It works great for me. Not worth 15k and sure I could get by without it but it definitely makes parking so much easier

Yes thats correct.

Ok I understand better. It sounds like you did get a rough time. The EDD is just an estimate so things can move in either direction. Hope it all works out

Unfortunately you rejected a VIN. and you only get to reject once no questions asked. Tesla has to do this because then they're would be people who keep rejecting for little things ( like no matrix lights) over and over. I'm sure if the car is really damaged you can have a case for a second...

This is the way I knew as well. However now that Tesla is trying to clean the LR books by December I have heard what OP said being the new policy.

When you put the order on hold did you already have a VIN?

Those are all really good ideas

Ugg I personally hate it. Never use it just keep all my roadside emergency kits, jumper cables etc in there. Anytime i close it it leaves big greasy handprints right on the front that I have to wipe off. Granted i have a black car that is incredibly hard to keep clean. I use the trunk for...

Yeah I've seen the electric one. I think I could do it but I remember hearing stories of it malfunctioning and damaging the hood.

Was debating getting the after market one and doing it myself. Watched a few videos it doesn't seem to hard. Has anyone had or heard any thing about the aftermarket one? Would hate to get it and it breaks or worse damages the car

Powered frunk would be really nice wonder if they would do a retrofit for 2022 models

Currently this forum is essentially moved away from that purpose. There are no new LR orders and likely will not be for the rest of the year. As such there are really no new people to come in here asking basic delivery questions. Thus tnhis forum has kind of evolved into a general discussion...

I feel like I am taking the bait but no one on here accused anyone or is whining. People are just genuinely concerned the direction tesla is going on certain things. Over the past year Tesla has gotten rid of many features and accessories. Off the top of my head they have gotten rid of: Radar...

Just bought a brand new LR and got it last month. Decided to pay the whole thing in cash along with a few add ons. Still not happy Tesla took away the license plate. Got lucky to get the voucher for the mobile charger but still think it is a poor move overall to d/c it with new cars. Glad to...

There are two debates here right now: The sensor debate is definitely a legit one and its hard to argue that it isn't being rolled out poorly at the moment. ( didn't say it wouldn't be useful or better one day just the roll out is poor) But for the mobile charger, common. It can't be...

Ok your right. Tesla took it away out of the goodness of their hearts so those in need could have one
