Yes I should have noted that. If it's set to scheduled start charging at a certain time, it may restart then at that time, the next day. But if you are before that time, and it drops, it will not bring the level back up to your set charge level. That's my experience. IF you don't have set...

No, when it reached 100% SOC at the Supercharger, I started driving. I gradually made my subsequent charges less in terms of DOC. So I let it go down to around 38% or so I believe from 100%. Charged back low 80s, let it go down to 40's. Charged back to 70ish, same thing. Now I set the...

I'm not sure if the member ran the battery degradation test, perhaps they did. But 7.5% does not sound correct for 344 miles of range out of 358 remaining. I understand the calculation - Your taking 4% range loss starting from 79kWh, but if your taking into account the top buffer, you seem to...

The Tesla Wall Connector does not automatically re-start after dropping 3% below your setpoint. This week, I set it to max at 65%, which I confirmed with the app it reached at the time the charging stopped. Approximately 8 hours later, my SOC was down to 61% and my car was still plugged in...

Great stop in the Poconos area. Wawa drastically overpriced. Restroom pitstop only.

I haven't previously heard of this problem. Perhaps it's so new that Tesla's engineering team has recently found out about it and is investigating. If it was my car, I would do the following; (I have no clue if any of this would help or not, but as a Tesla owner with some knowledge a bit more...

I'm on the opposite side and would definitely pay the extra 10k for peace of mind and get a brand new one, maybe even wait for a '24. Your already spending 30k, or about 75% of the cost of a new one, and getting a lot less. New has full warranty, fresh new battery, no wear and tear on the...

10 month owner - Something similar happened to me, but only once. After I parked it, it sat in the garage for about 48 hours. The battery consumption was something like 12 or 13% with everything off, which never happened before, and the car was asleep. Most of the time when I park it...

Staying Clean and Cool! ;)

Yeah I have the big 82kWh. I had no idea that my range doesn't drop until I get below 79kWh. But that does make sense there's a buffer on the top, given that there is also a buffer on the bottom end so that you can still drive a short distance at 0% SOC. I would say from your statistics that...

I wouldn't be concerned, but be sure you do your research and know how to do a VERY thorough pre-purchase inspection. I would highly suspect the car is a prior reject from a customer. Amazing how times have changed. It took me 4 months to get my car! 6 miles on the odometer at purchase.

Looks like a new operator on the line installing the pass. side doors in general assembly caused the damage. It's one of the harder jobs in assembly to learn.

5% "calendar" or time degradation, for one year, sounds way too high to be an average. Of course there a ton of variables, but if you have 5% degradation in your first year, there is some component of your driving/charging routine that could likely yield better results. I have less than 1%...

I was previously on this forum quite a bit during the order and waiting stage and just wanted to update everyone with how the car has been. So overall, I have had only some minor issues and 0 service appointments. The hood (frunk) received an AWFUL paint job. Interestingly enough, the rest of...

😂OMG 'Escape the Cult'. That got me LOL 😂

I'm actually at 251 miles range remaining now and its 70% on my car. So you're way off for a LR

I'm super, extremely happy 😁 to report I took delivery tonight! Took 112 days. 8 day delay from my first firm scheduled delivery date due to rail yard issues, that Tesla has no control over. Really not bad at all. Car is perfect. I mean they nailed it. Body panels are all flush and...

Thanks. After waiting almost 4 months, I was super excited to take delivery. I scheduled a vacation day from work and was all ready to go. Then I got the dreaded text the day before the car wasn't ready because it never made it. And then got it yet again, the next delivery date. Not gonna...

Cars headed to Jersey and Northeast DO NOT get unloaded from the auto rack trains and trucked in from Chicago. They ride the rails all the way to Jersey and get unloaded in North Jersey. At least that's the case as of now. My car is stuck in a rail yard in North Jersey with no way to get it...

Definitely hope you take delivery on-time. Just a friendly heads-up; Don't be at all surprised if you get notified literally the day before that your delivery is delayed. I was able to get a lot of updated information on what's going on in the Northeast region as it relates to deliveries, and...

My delivery has been potentially delayed, AGAIN! I received a text from an SA at 1945 hours tonight that "we are expecting your car, but have not received it yet. We will continue to track the car to see if anything changes. At the moment, we can hold your appointment for Friday morning. We...

I'm being told now delivery is this Friday, Sept 2. I'll definitely be inspecting extra closely. I thought it was strange because I went to the dealership both Saturday and Sunday and the car wasn't there for a Tuesday delivery. Not out of the question to get it Monday, but that's cutting it...

I got notified by an SA today that my delivery originally scheduled for tomorrow is "Delayed due to Rail." Interesting, because you're getting your car early and we're both NJ deliveries. I'm getting a little suspicious to say the least.

Initially that was my thought on it as well, but there has to be some reason for the delay. Not the first time a delay has occurred from making a change after order, software or not.

I just saw your earlier response, disregard! 😉

Just curious, were you absolutely set on getting a brand new car? Why not check out the secondary market and see if you can find a '21 or '22 low mileage, mint condition M3 in whatever trim you want. IF you really need a vehicle very soon and you are very set on getting a Tesla, it's not a bad...

No way I would ever accept home delivery, even if they offered a discount. I'm sorry that car is no longer brand new if someone else is driving it more than a few miles. Who knows how they're going to drive it? Too many what-if's for me with non-registered owner at the wheel. Absolutely out...

That's major. Definitely a problem in the paint shop and unfortunately, your vehicle had already run through. I'm getting nervous. No chance I'm sending the down payment in the app before I inspect it.

Is that what the driver's door looks like upon opening it?

Delivery Date set for 8/30! 104 days from Order to anticipated Delivery! :cool:

I didn't mean to confuse, I wasn't referencing EDD adjustments from refusals or anything. Just pointing out my original EDD was way off from just after ordering to when I'm actually going to take delivery and my car is en-route (non-refusal).

Yes, you luckily still got all the goodies because your car was manufactured prior to 8-6-22.

When I was in my 5 week EDD time frame (sorry I didn't keep track of them all), I didn't have an updated EDD for well over a month. No change whatsoever. With an order date of 7/12, you're probably looking at a '23 delivery imho. I ordered mid-May and I'm over 90 days. Should be taking...

As has been said before, West coast deliveries ramp up the month the quarter ends (Q3 - September) because they can deliver much higher volume in shorter time frame to increase their quarterly productivity figures.

Nope, that'll be 50 bucks on the Tesla website! 😄

Just curious, do you know of any service related issues related to other customers receiving their new delivery in your specific area? I.e. are others experiencing delays as well? What was their timeline like for the people who actually received their car? Your situation almost sounds like...

Yes - any build after August 6th will not have a chrome license plate frame included with purchase. I don't plan on receiving one and found another I like better anyway. Tesla claims it is part of their strategy to move away from chrome. However, no substitute was offered in it's place...

Just a quick update! Received text this morning stating, "my Model 3 has just departed from our factory and is in transit to your delivery center! Be on the lookout for a message within the next week to schedule your delivery appointment. Be sure to schedule as soon as possible, as...

yeah for sure, I think your VIN will be in tomorrow or Friday. Last update I had was on a Thursday and this one was Wednesday, so you're super close to getting an update!!

Our cars are probably making the same, long journey eastbound on the same train, sweeeet!!

Checked app at 7am this morning and officially got my VIN! 337XXX, super fresh build! AND updated EDD 8/31-9/4 😎😁

I agree. This is a rapidly changing segment. One year from now, things will look tremendously different on the competition front. Yes Tesla has had a head start and they took advantage of it for years, but that is now changing my friends.

I take delivery in about 2 weeks, so I hope you're right. I have a BMW that I'm keeping, so it's no issue for me to keep my mileage ultra low on the Tesla. Not sure if people will pay the premium when they can still buy a SR or P, but time will tell!

Competition will be increasing big time for Tesla in the Model 3 segment going forward. Practically every automaker has one or more vehicles coming out in that segment. It's something Tesla has no choice but to do to be as competitive as possible. If the competition is eligible for the tax...

Oh wow yeah, you got screwed then, my bad! 😉

I thought for a moment the same thing about the '22 LR low mileage car values going through the roof. But I doubt it now. Why would people pay an enormous premium when they can eventually order a brand new one and get it out-the-door for less than 50 grand, with the tax credit. I think people...

You should have purchased it for $55,990 plus options if you ordered 5/17. That's still a 2k decrease from the latest price that a lot of others paid.

They're definitely going to cut the price of the LR. That's why they stopped all ordering now and not later because the closer you get to the end of the year with a new order, the more likely it will be cancelled. If you ordered by now, but still take delivery around the end of year, there's...
