    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    The closest I’ve ever been to owning an EV was also a Fusion PHEV. That was a good car, but dull. It was definitely 1 of the 2 slowest cars I’ve owned. (Not counting a beater I owned when I also had a heavily modified, unreliable, 3000GT.) Never had anything as slow as your 240D!😁 Good luck...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    FWIW, my EDD sat at 7/16 - 8/27 for 2 full weeks before moving to 6/15 - 6/22 with VIN. Keep the Faith!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I should clarify… I don’t expect any issues because if it snows, I won’t have to drive this car. DO NOT try to drive in snow on summer tires.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Summer tires typically start to lose grip as temps get below about 50. High powered RWD ICE cars get pretty sketchy on summer tires in the 30s. AWD definitely helps. But EVs can modulate their power much better than ICE. I doubt you’ll have an issue with acceleration (other than being...

    I understand you can buy accessories to pre-heat the batteries on demand and access insane mode at the push of a button instead of clicking through menus. Might be worth looking into.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    They are capacitive, but the haptic feedback is well calibrated, it really feels like a click. You can try it yourself, go demo any highland, they all have the same steeering wheel

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    When I ordered I told myself I would be very happy if I get the car before the end of July and thrilled if I get it by the end of June. Original EDD was June. Current EDD is 7/16 to 8/27. Everytime I look at this thread, I try to remember that I will be very happy to get the car in July...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I ordered on Friday, 5/3 and I’ve only gotten EDD changes on Fridays. Curious if it changes tomorrow and what it changes to.

    First, let me say: I know nothing about Dubai. But I do have limited experience with importing items into North America and Europe. When I hear "pay before bringing the car in from port" I immediate suspect they are trying to play games with customs and tariffs. And you don't want any...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I used to work for a German manufacturer. They used to brag about their quality and engineering superiority. I liked to remind them that only one country has put a man on the moon!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I have a feeling that once the final EPA hurdle is cleared (this weekend?), things are going to move quickly. Fremont can produce a ton of cars every month (10s of thousands), and they have a glut of Model Ys, so they should focus on 3s. I guess we'll find out.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I’m not sure I would do the whole car at once. Would probably do it in sections.

    Can I ask who did your tint and PPF? I’m looking for a good shop in the area.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I hope you’re right. This is my first EV. Just had my charger installed today. I’m ready, where’s my VIN?!

    ChatGPT is hallucinating. Per Tesla’s 2023 financial statements, here. They delivered more than 1.7M Model 3/Y’s in 2023 (slide 9 in the link). And in the summary on slide 4, it states “more than 1.2M Model Ys delivered. So Tesla delivered about 500k Model 3s in 2023. Make your own guess...
