    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I had my delivery in Dec from Mount Kisco. Make sure you have your insurance sorted out ahead of your delivery date and I recommend getting someone on the phone to do your final check ahead of delivery. They will not reach out to you via phone until a day or two. Overall, NY DMV is full of red...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Tesla has a tendency to push hard to get cars delivered to customers at end of quarter for their financial reporting, aka the end of quarter delivery wave. If you have everything in order, it is likely that they will do everything in their power to get the car to you before end of month, if at...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I am doing something wrong maybe. I have been following Tesla's recommendations about letting it change to 100%. What are you charging to? Thanks....

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    No clue what "VIN is unresponsive" means. I can attest to the build quality of my '23 Model 3 RWD. There are no issues with panels, interior is as expected and I have had zero issues with approximately 900 miles. This was discussed a few weeks ago on this forum and everyone who commented agreed...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Registration is a State by State matter. You should contact your delivery center by respond to one of their text messages with that question. In NYS, they issue the license plates and a temporary registration on the delivery date. The title and perm registration will be processed and sent to you...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    My last Level-2 charge to 100%, I am now getting a stated full range of 271 with around 900 miles. Where is everyone else on degradation.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I was getting 273 miles also for a while 🤷, but during those early days I was getting a lot of phantom drain with everything properly off. Now that it is giving me 272 miles I am see nearly zero phantom drain. It must have something to do with the BMS baseline the pack over the first few hundred...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    The research and opinions are all over the place around best charging practices for the LFP Pack and the Model 3 RWD. I've decided to follow Tesla's recommendation until I have my first signs of degradation which is inevitable. At nearly 1,000 miles, I am still getting 272 miles stated range...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I have the SR, I think it is a better overall car with the LFP battery pack that we can charge up to 100%. We are getting about the same day-to-day range as a LR charged to 80%. IMO, the SR is lighter and more nibble.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    That is fantastic, that usually means that your car has a dashboard and windshield. It should be fully built out in approximately 10 hours. You should be getting the message about your car leaving Fremont soon. It should be about 2 weeks from there for your delivery date.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I remember when a slice of pizza was 50 cent and today it is close to 5 dollars. I have never seen prices come "back" to where they "should be." I know someone who has been waiting since 2006 for real estate prices to come back down to where they "should be." This mind-set can be paralyzing.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Indeed, the Public Comment Period is required by law when an Agency (e.g., IRS) is delegated the authority to implement a legislative act. The intent of the comment period is to allow the public and market participants to participate in shaping the implementation of the rules which can make them...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I read that GM is now lobbying to change the classification of their Cadillac EV to an SUV. I would hardly describe the guidance as "very firm." Agency Law requires that the IRS codify rules to implement the IRA's EV Tax Credit component. They in fact just started the public comment period which...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Tesla like all automakers are in no position to advise their customers on the EV Tax Credit or to make price change or manufacturing changes based on sketchy guidance that is subject to change. It is completely mismanaged and has caused more and more confusion. Until there are finalized Agency...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I took delivery in early Dec 2022 and got the $3,750 incentive but missed the $7,500 incentive with 10k charging miles. I put my discount towards the FSD upgrade. Overall I am not disappointed about missing the extra incentives, I am literally saving hundreds a week in gasoline costs and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    If you order the M3 LR (Cash or finance) and Tesla reduces the sales price prior to you taking delivery, they will apply the lower cost to your order. No other automaker would do that. Also, if you lease the M3 LR, the credit appears to apply no matter what. Food for thought if the confusion...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Safe to presume that the transportation around an out-of-state inventory car falls outside of their business-as-usual logistics pipeline. So all bets are off. Sounds like they will have to eat the cost of a tow truck driver delivering your car to Georgia on a flatbed. You might have to push...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    At the point they give you the VIN for your car, it usually leaves Fremont within the week and should arrive at your local delivery center within one to two weeks depending where you are located. The delivery center usually requires a few days to test, quality check, and detail the car. You will...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Thank goodness. 😅 Take some pictures of Fremont for us if you can. The last time I recall them pushing this hard was 2019 when Musk and his mother were volunteering to help with deliveries at Fremont.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Sounds stressful. In Musk's leaked email to employees, he asked them to do everything possible to get deliveries done by midnight. He said every single one will matters. I wonder if they are remaining open until 12am. Inventory or not, everyone is saying that the build quality of RWD has...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    We know that it takes approximately 30 hours for Fremont to assemble a Model 3 from scratch. So the question is whether your car is still "pre-production" or is it completed and now stuck in the logistics pipeline with thousands of others cars that need to be shipped all around North America...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Your path forward for 12/31 delivery might hinge on another customer scheduled for delivery at your local delivery center falling through due to cold feet or financing issues and the VIN becoming available for reassign to you. For your car to have had a chance of arriving in Seattle by this...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    You still have to authorized the transfer after linking your account to Plaid. Tesla cannot take your money. With that said, I submitted my payment in advance and didn't lose any leverage in the transaction. The delivery staff seemed indifferent about whether payment was made prior to or on the...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    That is strange, perhaps they have the wrong number for you or you provided a landline. Something seems out of place as everyone else gets text messages. Try responding to your one email and calling your delivery center. For all you know the car is in the process of being put onto a carrier...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    They definitely could. You should read through the Purchasing Agreement for your car, I suspect there is a legal clause in there that will clarify things more. You should talk to them and figure out your options. They have marching orders to get the car into your hands before close of business...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Payment via Plaid is immediate even if you process the payment on a weekend, meaning non-banking hours. If the balance changes for any reason prior to delivery, the app/website will update the invoice and you will have either a credit or additional payment due task in the app. Not uncommon for...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Delivery Center staff notoriously have very little discretion. The most they could probably offer you is to set you up for home delivery rather than making you do the pickup at the delivery center. I don't think they have any power to offer you discounted pricing or charging credits. Those...

    What do you attribute this degradation to? A pattern of DC supercharging? Exposing the pack to prolonged periods of freezing weather? Or something else?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Since the new administration came in, the markets have been getting whipsawed by the options market in a way that we've never seen. It has been described by some as the tail waging the dog. All while the regulators focus squarely on Musk's tweets. Tesla stock is the highest options traded...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just checked and see no availability for Model 3/Y. Can you share with us what you are seeing? There are users on the RWD Waiting room forum who are now showing up to the sales centers to see if something can be worked out to get them a VIN and delivery before EoY. For the time being, there...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    When it comes to divisive politics, NY is the trend setter. Based on how fast Tesla sold out in NYS which includes CT, I am confident that the talk about demand issues caused by Musk's recent positions are over blown.

    They don't really assign SA. But if you have questions, respond to any of the Text messages they send. They do read them and should respond.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Did you buy from the Inventory or did you customize? What is your build? If your delivery center is Fremont you have good odds of making the Dec 31 deal. They are open 7 says a week but I doubt Christmas day Keep us posted.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Indeed, I just checked the NY inventory and there are ZERO Model 3 RWD and Perfomance trims available. Only a handful of Model Y LR left in the Inventory. They will be sold out by the weekend. If there are Models in transit already they could reach the East Coast delivery centers before Dec...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Won't a prudent buyer check the existing inventory to see if there is an acceptable model for them that can be delivered on or before 12/31? The issue I see with the EV Tax Credit is that it does not reduce the sale price at the point-of-sale. Rather it will reduce your tax liabilities when you...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    A Xmas present from Elon Musk. Congrats to you guys, I missed this deal by two weeks😞. This bring down the sales tax too so it is more like a $8,000 plus incentive along with the 10,000 miles. That is a Model 3 RWD around $37k?

    I have a '23 M3 RWD running 2022.40.200 with no USS. When backing up into the L3 Chargers in my area, vision does stop the car approximately 2 feet from any detected object, in this case the concrete pillars around the L3 charger. There are no audio alerts until the car takes action and stops...

    I had to read your comment a few times and still not sure if you are referring to Twitter under the old management or Musk running Twitter now. Seems to apply equally to both. Was that your intention?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    But when do you anticipate the rumored refreshed Model 3 being available for delivery? 2024? I suspect the refresh is in part being motivated by the fact that the Model 3 doesn't qualify for the anticipated EV Tax Credit. Even the Model 3 RWD would have issues qualifying since it uses a...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Is it true that delivery centers are now offering 10,000 free super charging miles on top of the $3,750 rebate for Dec deliveries. That sounds like a deal that is too good to turn down.
