It's been awhile since I've been here, but just thought I'd take a look around at what's been going on lately. Got the car back in the summer (actually 6 months ago today). I'm trying not to think much about the recent price cuts, rebates, free supercharger miles, and whatever else I missed...

Congrats! I've been checking this forum every so often to make sure no fellow NY/NJ people left behind!

That's great, glad you got it before summer end!

If that's the case, I'd recommend the ThatGrin Slipstream Bracket. It's a bit pricey for a license plate holder, but it's been one of the accessories that I've bought that I've been most pleased with the quality. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HHMD4CX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

727 miles so far (delivered 7/25). Did my first relatively long drive down to the Jersey Shore over this past weekend and it was a thrill to drive.

The mobile service replaced my charge port door. Took less than an hour.

I was able to pay with personal check which I never thought was an option. I texted my SA before pickup to see if I should bring a cashier's check and they mentioned a personal check was also acceptable which made it easy for me. This may vary by location though as I have seen others on this...

My Model 3 came with Continental ProContact RX (19" sport wheels).

That is a bit disappointing but I see you are correct and it makes sense why it appears that way In the images. I think I’ll stick with the name though. 😀

I’ve never named a car before but just made a late evening decision to go with “Blue Dune.” I read Dune earlier this year and saw the movie and thought of the blue eyes the Fremen have due to the spice melange, so this name came to mind. Then I just read that blue dunes were found on Mars, so...

I'm having an issue with mine in the new car I picked up last week. Charge port opens fine using the touch screen or pressing the button on the charge cable, but manually touching it to open does not work. I have a service appt scheduled soon to get it fixed. Not sure if others have had...

Sounds like Florida and New Jersey may be next based on this article: https://electrek.co/2022/07/26/tesla-expands-insurance-based-on-real-time-driver-data-two-more-states/

In my new M3, I just started using the streaming radio and ran into the buffering issue a few times today where it froze during a song and had the spinning circle.

When I got my VIN on 7/21 the app actually had an EDD of 7/21-7/25 (so same day). I contacted the SA on 7/22 because in the app under the “schedule” section it was saying “check back later.” They said there was a glitch and they fixed it right away and it gave me a 3 day window in the app to...

I was surprised as I was planning to get a certified check. My friend who picked up his car at the same location last year said they didn’t allow personal checks at that time.

In my new car, I just noticed a loose piece hanging underneath near the front wheel. Looks it may be missing a clip or something. I set up a service appt for a week from now but wanted to check if anyone has experienced this.

When I picked up my M3 this week I paid the down payment with a personal check. I had asked the SA beforehand and they said I could bring a personal check, a certified check, or make a payment using a checking account through the Tesla app.

So I drove my brand new Model 3 for the first time at night this evening. I had my auto beam setting on and it seemed to work fine and would switch on the high beams when on a dark road. However, I got flashed by at least 5 cars when the regular beams were on, so they must be super bright (and...

I don’t recall the app notifying me. Looking back it was a text at 4pm exactly. Then I went into the app and it was updated.

Today is the day! Picked up my M3LR in Springfield. Had to wait out a torrential downpour before getting to see it up close. But once the clouds parted, the process was super easy and I was on my way. Got Matrix headlights and it even included the mobile connector in the trunk although I...

Congrats on the new car! I also have a 305XXX VIN so hoping mine will also include all the goodies as well when I pick-up this week.

I was in almost the same exact situation as of yesterday morning and then out of the blue, the VIN text came. Hope the same happens for you soon!

Mobile Connector with NEMA 5-15 adaptor just appeared in stock. Just ordered after checking daily for over a month!

Thanks gators! I'm really pulling for you to be driving yours this summer in the Garden State as well!

Got back to my desk after a long day of back-to-back meetings and stunned to check my phone and see the text with my VIN! Totally unexpected and what a great way to end the day. EDD in the app now says July 21- July 25.

Looks like we ordered the same car (except for the wheels) about 3 weeks apart and our current EDD is about 3 weeks apart as well. I ordered on 5/20 and current EDD is 8/23-9/27. I've had several EDD updates but it has been steady now since the end of June.

I did put in my email to be notified when back in stock around mid-June. Someone mentioned that it was in stock for a day or two around the 23rd, but I never received an email alert and missed it. So, I'm just trying to cover all my bases at this point. Fingers crossed.

The mobile connector has been out of stock for quite a while now. You should be good with the wall connector for your main charging and can get this item when back in stock. Since I have an outlet already set up, I'm going to use the mobile connector for my main charging. So, it's now part of...

I was going to lock it in last week with rates at 3.74% when it seemed my delivery may be imminent. Now, who knows how high rates will be when I get my VIN. Agree with the person who said this makes the waiting more brutal.

I don't mind as well. Just a little strange they put us in that 2-week window recently. I guess they were teasing us. Expect the unexpected is my mindset right now.

Sounds like we are in the same boat.

I see we just passed your delivery window. What did you end up doing?

Just got the EDD pushed back to Aug 23-Sep 27. I had been in a 2-week EDD window for early July, and the SA even texted me this week about a trade-in, so I thought I those were good signs. I guess this new EDD is closer to my original, so I'm not too disappointed. Hopefully, it will happen in...

Welcome! I'm in a situation where I already have a 6-50 outlet in my garage, so I want to do the easiest solution which is the mobile connector. If I didn't have that already, I probably would have gone with the wall connector. I'm now down to a 2-week window for my estimated delivery date...

Thanks for the info. I was thinking it was probably going to be around 4% when doing initial calcs. I may call my credit union to see if they can do better. Last time I checked their website they said auto loans as low as 2.24% but no idea if it's higher for a Tesla.

Does anyone know what the current financing rate is if using Tesla Financing? I had put cash when I set up the app to accelerate the process of getting an EDD, but I'm about ready to figure out how much of a loan I should go for and start that process.

Another option may be to install a 6-50 outlet as that adaptor is in stock. In fact, I just bought one since I have a 6-50 outlet in my garage. Now if I could only get my hands on a mobile connector.

Congrats! Sounds like we ordered the same car at around the same time. Although I'm on the other side of the country, so we'll see when I get mine (current EDD 7/6-7/19). Would love to see a pic of the new car.

Not sure but one other thing to check is if you have Display Zoom on which could overwrite the screen rotation feature. In settings, go to the Display & Brightness option. Then check if Display Zoom is set to Standard or Zoomed.

I just updated my signature using the phone. You have to have it set to landscape mode to do this.

I just watched this YouTube video released today and this guy says it is no longer included (see about 12 minutes in). The store still says it comes standard with the purchase of the vehicle. A lot of confusion out there. I might buy one just in case and worst case I will have an extra.

Congrats - car looks great! I will be getting mine at Springfield as well. How was the experience there?

Very strange indeed and I didn’t even notice they told me the wrong date. I see one scenario being that it finally comes back in stock and I order, then get the car and it already has one included lol. I guess I can always sell the extra in that case.

Congrats! Interesting they included the mobile connector. I contacted my SA to see if there was any chance it would be even though I ordered in late May. They just replied that only orders before Apr 17th would have them. This gives me hope though.

I just checked and back out of stock. I had signed up to be alerted by email when it was back in stock too. I guess I will have to go on the site daily to check. Really need to get it soon as my EDD is early July now and I plan to charge it using this in my garage.

EDD updated to July 5-19 earlier this week which I did not expect. Are the delivery dates more accurate when they get shortened to two weeks?

I'm the same exact size as you and ordered a Model 3 recently. I took a test drive to make sure I fit ok, and I was plenty comfortable after adjusting the seat back. Headroom is always key and it had more than expected. Those sitting behind me may feel differently about this car though.

Thanks for the info. I agree it's better customer service to be transparent and show when things are out of stock so you're not waiting an eternity with no visibility into when the item may arrive. Hopefully the Mobile Connector will get back in stock soon. I'm sure it was a hot topic around...

Great, will keep my fingers crossed that it's still working properly. Is there any info out there about when the Mobile Connector may be back in stock? I texted the SA and they told me to sign up for an email reminder for when it's back in stock, which I did, but didn't get any indication of...

I recently ordered a LR Model 3 and the latest EDD is Aug 21-Oct 2. At my house, the previous owner had a Chevy Volt and a NEMA 6-50R Hubbell outlet installed in the garage. It has been over 8 years since it was last used, so i'm going to have an electrician take a look at it to make sure it's...
