I'm too lazy to search back through all the message for the person who was asking about the Homelink module availability - it is back in stock in the Tesla store on the app. Just bought one today

Part of the frustration for me around the turn indicators is that the buttons do not register presses consistently and the haptics are weak, so I can't develop any confidence that what I am asking the car to do is being done. Comparing the switchgear to the floor models, I think Tesla has a...

Does not say if it is compatible. I am on the list to be notified when in stock again. Have to take the car to service center tomorrow to have the emergency charging port release properly seated in the trunk, will ask them about homelink while there.

Quick entry: Picked up this morning from Burbank. Pretty flawless process, if a bit slow/congested. Car is amazing, like everybody else is saying. Handles better than my last two Audi's, and the steering is way beyond an improvement. Back out for some driving! Maybe some pics later but I'm not a...

As an investor in Tesla, I applaud any attempt by the company to streamline processes and lower costs while increasing value for both shareholders and customers who use their products - as long as it does not come at the expense of safety or durability. So far it seems like they have achieved a...

Santa Palm car wash on Santa Monica Blvd. at Palm Ave. (duh) in West Hollywood does a good hand wash but the detailing probably best to be done with a smaller mom and pop operation.

Spotted a Black/Black behind me on the freeway this afternoon- thing looks menacing when it's stalking you

I am curious about this too. Will check tomorrow when I pick up the car.

Congrats man, I'll keep an eye out for you on Angeles Crest 🏎️

Agreements are unlocked this morning after making final payment, but I plan to not sign until I see the car. Also, the odometer already reads 15 miles....not sure if that is typical....thoughts??? First Tesla, dunno how much they are driven to test things out before delivery.... Regardless...

May have had a prior reservation for a LR/SR and changed it. Those were the earliest VIN assignments I think

You can do a google search or check through a credit monitoring app and lots of credit unions come up, but you have to become a member to take advantage of the lower rates. My credit union rates suck right now - it's in the entertainment biz and the strikes last year decimated deposits so they...

Seems like we have a mixed result on pay at pickup and pay in advance. I'm going settle up this morning (pickup tomorrow) so I don't have to stress about it any longer. I am naturally a bit anxious about these things so removing the choice will force me to drop it an stop worrying about it. I...

I selected cash, and went so far as to having the check drawn on my account Friday. But ultimately opted for financing so I can continue letting my money work for me instead of the bank, until the interest and depreciation are earned back through some swing trades and investments. Then I'll pay...

How many of you are paying in full prior to seeing the car via Plaid/ACH in the app? Or are you waiting until you get to pickup and inspect before transmitting or handing over a cashiers check? This seems to be a variable process from state to state and service center to service center.

Thank you!

Those of you who are financing through Tesla: Is the application process done entirely through the app? What forms or documents do you have to upload? Thinking about switching from cash to finance so I can let my money work for me and offset the interest/depreciation over the term, but I hope I...

All cars, particularly performance variants, should have the "bedding" process purposefully done so the brake pads evenly wear a channel (or a "bed") into the brake rotors and burnish the pad surface such that imperfections, coatings, dust, etc. are worn off to the point that the two components...

Wuaryoudoinere???

Congrats! What service center in SoCal did you pick up from?

I think a lot of corporate strategizing and planning has been around the thought that we were in a soft landing for inflation adjustments and would be able to see an increase in new car sales once the FED lowered interest rates, keeping sales on pace with the Q2 offering. That may not happen...

I think the real reason is that the service center is absolutely swamped with people picking up standard Highlands and Model Y's after the .99% financing bonanza. That place was a total zoo. I think they just haven't gotten to the M3P's yet and it's just an irrefutable story to placate excited...

Can't disagree with that

Lol that is EXACTLY my plan once I am behind the wheel and off the lot. Take the 5 to the 134 to the 2 (SNL reference, yes) and jump into the twisties from there! I just wish Newcomb's Ranch was still open 😢

An update for anyone else who might have had a scheduled delivery this weekend postponed: I was supposed to get the car in Burbank this morning but they pushed to Monday via text yesterday. The scheduled delivery in the app also changed, but then it disappeared to nothing today around noon. I...

10am. It sounds like the firmware update is pushing everyone out, but who knows- maybe it's just a matter of having so many cars to process and yours just happened to get under the wire for delivery. Fingers crossed! Can't wait to start seeing the posts of folks with their cars.

Well it was too good to be true after all. Like everyone else with pending deliveries, mine was pushed from tomorrow to Monday. Unclear if Tesla folks are working since it's a holiday. I'll just be patient, since there is nothing anyone can do to hurry whoever is coding this firmware update.

The VIN should show up in the underwriters database. If they are telling you it doesn't exist, call another insurer and see if they can find it. I use Geico (not an endorsement) and there was no problem getting the insurance quoted.

Received "how to prepare for pickup" email this morning for my appointment tomorrow. Is that standard or will they only send that email if the car is actually ready? Also, this is my first Tesla and I am starting to wonder if there are things I am supposed to be looking for in the screen menus...

Got a confirmed delivery date for Saturday morning 10am at Burbank. We'll see if they keep things on track, but so far I am impressed with the efficiency and speed once I had the VIN 4/23 order RN12152XXXX Red/Black Los Angeles

Yes. This is my first Tesla, and the configurator is confusing because it does not show the total amount changing as you select options. I didn't realize my error until I was through the reservation process and had reserved a car that was over the federal price cap for the tax credit

I switched from white interior to black about five days after the initial order to get the tax credit. I made sure with Tesla that the change wouldn't affect order date and time before doing so, although I still would have done it since the $7500 savings was the whole point.

If you have a VIN your SA can locate the car. I don't think they move cars around once it has reached a delivery center unless they give you an option for home delivery.

Haha yes I texted a question about how to make final payment and he called me with that info plus more once he looked up the order. Super nice people at the Santa Monica location working late

It's coming!

Just got a call from Sales Advisor; the car has arrived and is in a holding lot waiting to be detailed and software updated. He thinks I should be able to take delivery Saturday 🤞 Red/Black day one orders might be getting some action all around!

It really seems impossible to divine how they assign production runs...hope you hear soon!

Awesome! Good luck. I imagine you'll be hearing from them anytime now

I got a new message from Tesla in the app at 11:40 AM today. Still ironing out trade-in stuff, hope it still hits delivery in the five day window.

Got my VIN today :cool: RN12152XXXX Red/Black Order confirmation 04/23 10:35 PST Los Angeles DD was tightened to May 22-May 29 window Stoked.

Someone else mentioned it too but the white interior doors are then same synthetic "pleather" material like the seats so they'll wipe clean just fine. Having sat in both the black interior and the white interior, it really comes down to a matter of your taste. Personally, the black interior...

Both white interior and black interior floor models on display in Los Angeles. I definitely prefer the darker interior as it feels higher quality and less prone to looking smudged up or stained.
