2 days ago, I was sideswiped at 60mph by a small dump truck...literally. No glass breakage, no airbag deployment. the door still opens and closes...and I am still driving it while the body shop puts in orders for parts. Initial estimate: $2900. Walked away without a single scratch. (baby in...

FINALLY got to the drag strip in the Rona era tonight to unlock the full power of Ludicrous+ and Cheetah Stance. The pre-Cheetah record on dragtimes.com was 11.203s I beat it 4 times. Completely stock, right down to the OEM 20s W/Conti all-seasons.

Finally made the jump from a 3 to an X, because baby, 2 dogs, and the wife needed a little breathing room on trips. I lucked out and got a floor model Raven Performance X and took delivery on the 22nd. Two days later, we went to Virginia for a low-key anniversary party, came all the way back to...

I found a good deal on a floor model 2020 Performance X in Orlando. I'm in the Boston area and will be taking delivery in Dedham. Anyone have any ideas about the frequency of trucks? In my favor: it's considered new, so they want to get it to me and close on it before Q2 ends. Beyond...

Tesla is readying a new option, internally … - teslamotors - Reddit Reddit post about an acceleration mode.... There are people corroborating the rumor via their account homepage. However, I can't see it on mine, since I already have FSD, so I don't have any "live"/official software updates...

Backstory: My in-laws live in Pamplin, along 460, and I've been advocating for a Supercharger in Farmville for years, both selfishly, and for east-west travel on 460, and north-south along 15. Last week, out of nowhere, my wife told me her father had texted her that he had heard something about...

OK, now that the 2019 style of the Stealth 3 is coming out, and it will NOT include Track Mode or the higher top speed, I propose the following naming convention for P3D's: P3D : Any Model 3 with the spoiler, pedals, brakes, wheels, suspension, Track Mode and 162mph. OG Stealth : previously...

State pulling plug on electric vehicle rebates in September

The Point retail complex in Littleton, MA, near Rt 2 and 495, is about to enter the last phase of construction. A Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel is being added to the complex. https://www.blacklinere.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Littleton-MA-GD-1.pdf Hilton is already making a name for...

P3D has Track Mode. The S and X have Launch Mode (or Max Battery, or whatever it is now....) My idea: In the 3, maintain the drivetrain cooling. In S and X, maintain the launch/max battery mode, but in all P models... just give all three Performance models a mode that gives the increased...

Checked my wifi router this morning, and my car has pulled 5.37GB of data in the last 48 hours. I'm on 2018.50.6 It's a P3D- Are we due for a Maps update? How big is 2019.5.x? Is it bigger because it's also being combined with Track Mode (FINALLY)? And why hasn't the car notified me it's...

With the recent .50 update now in wide release, I've noticed in my car at least, that some small quirks of EAP are getting cleaned up. On Rt 2, the stretch between Lincoln and the Concord Rotary, with all of the at-grade intersections..... EAP no longer veers towards the left turn lanes. It no...

We're scheduled to leave for our annual Christmas trip early Saturday morning...so, of course.... this past Sunday, my frunk latch failed. Not great, but recoverable. I attempted to schedule an appointment for it, but they are slammed through late January, and no slots were available. Degree of...

(New FCC ID) 2AEIM-1133148 Car Key Fob with BLE by Tesla Motors, Inc • r/teslamotors Not saying it IS Model 3, but I don't think they'd be updating the fobs for S or X any time soon....

I dropped in today to snoop around, as I'm supposedly less than 2 weeks away............ Talked to someone on Sales staff. Right now, they're getting 3 trucks in each week. Their turnaround time (from the truck, detailed, inspections, etc, to you) is "a day"..... .....however. No deliveries...

First day line waiter. Current S Owner. Changed order from AWD to P on Monday........ VIN : 0629XX MSM/P-non-upgrade/18s/black interior/EAP Delivery: August 10th!!

Is Elon underselling the range on the Dual Motor 3, just as he did for the RWD variant? The RWD 3 was tested at 334 miles of range by the EPA (with the aeros). Without aeros, it was closer to the 310 miles range that Tesla asked the EPA to publish. When EPA specs leak for the AWD/non-P...

With tomorrow after market close being the Q1 results call, we're due for our quarterly Model 3 news dump. Most publicly traded companies play things close to the vest in the week preceding their earnings calls, and hold announcements for the call. Tesla is no exception. With that being...

Quick question about an older Model S with the 3G connection: We're driving from suburban Boston to Montreal in a few weeks, will my car connect to Rogers (or some other provider) once we cross into Canada, or am I on my own for those few days?

Mods, if this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move. It starts off non Tesla-related, but it gets there.....I'll try to be brief. 8 1/2 years ago, I met a girl who had just adopted a dog. We had a Cavalier and a moped between us for transport. That dog decided we should be together...

So in the recent cold snap in New England, I blew a hose in the DU's coolant loop, leaking coolant into the DU and requiring it to be replaced. My question: How will this new DU compare to the original? Will it improve speed and/or efficiency? Is it going to be the same non-Performance DU...

I purchased a CPO Model S 3 weeks ago. Drove it to VA and back and it was amazing. I love the car. But then, we got hit with a lot of cold weather here.... on the 31st, I received a low coolant error while about a mile from home. I got home, put the car in its spot and plugged it in. My local...

Purchased a CPO S85 last week, and the entire premise was to be able to use AutoPilot on our 625 MA to VA and back Christmas adventure. The weather appears to be less than cooperative, but there is a window of opportunity if we leave around 3am. I'm using the Dashboard app to "smart charge" the...

Hi everyone, I've been over on the Model 3 side for years. My financial situation has shifted slightly, and with the delays to First Production for non-owners, I decided to make my move into a CPO S, and defer my Model 3 reservation until I can get a Performance Model 3. Had this all happened...

Tesla Model 3 Photos Flooding Instagram — Florida, Texas, New York, Ohio (+ Interesting Employee Car Agreement Details Leaked) Details about the employee agreement have been leaked, one of them being: Tesla reserved the right to “reduce or disable certain functionality” in a vehicle that was...

Good news, anyone getting First Production will qualify for the full $2500 rebate. Eligible Vehicles List | MOR-EV

Could be good news for those of us North and/or West of Boston.... Tesla plans to triple service capacity with 1,400 new techs, 350 new service vans, and in-car scheduling From the article: "The company says that they are opening those based on the concentration of Model 3 reservations in...

Just checked Supercharge.info and came away with this: For those not familiar with the area: The Market Basket has a "cafe" with prepared foods that you can sit in, or sandwiches/salads to go as well. You've got Panera and other standard "mall eats" during business hours. 110 Grill...

Now that the Model S 60 is being discontinued: is it a sign that the Model 3 is imminent? and can we use that info to determine the cost of a loaded Model 3? Now that the base Model S comes in at $76,500, does that give us a clue into the Model 3 pricing? Was the base "bumped up" to...

Lost in yesterday's excitement about Tesla rolling out Production-Candidate vehicles next week was a Q+A about how the delivery process will be streamlined for Model 3. You'll receive the bulk of your paperwork online, and the physical delivery process will now be 5 minutes, instead of the hour...

I'm awaiting my Model 3, and thought my charging situation was all set. (townhouse, 1 car garage, 200A service...I was just going to put in a 50A breaker to charge my Model 3 at 40A load....) But now the wife wants to move to a house with a yard. We've picked the house, which was built in...

Car lobby pushing Bay State pols to back self-driving autos

Still looking good for some of us getting our cars this year, especially with the tidbit revealed here that Model 3 packs will begin production in Q2. Tesla starts mass production of new ‘2170’ battery cell at the Gigafactory, will be used in Model 3 in Q2

Guess the cost of oil was down too much, so it looks as if they're going to tweak supplies to try and bump it up..... Twitter

This came out of the Tesla/Solar City merger call yesterday. “Today is not the time for that announcement. Uh but I mean it’s probably, yeah, I don’t know, um, beginning of spring, or something. Yeah – 3-4 months from now.” Tesla is aiming to hold Model 3 unveil ‘part 3’ in ‘3-4 months from...

There are probably a few places I could have placed this (mods, feel free to move as appropriate), but I decided to put it here. Considering last night's announcement, it's good to see some elected officials trying to stay out in front on this topic. Massachusetts, Boston Establish Plan to...

Interesting read via Electrek about yesterday's media walkthrough at the Gigafactory.... Tesla’s plan for Gigafactory vehicle battery pack rollout and why it matters The part that is most interesting (at least in this context): "Even though the battery cells themselves will be bigger than...

Electric vehicles will get a charge along Mass Pike While not Superchargers, 50kW stations should be enough to fill in some gaps. Honestly though, in the locations they've mentioned in Western MA, there is already good SC coverage, but in Eastern MA, the Framingham and Natick charging...

I mentioned this being a possibility on another thread a few weeks back, and I've come to 3 reasonable conclusions, not sure which is the correct one: 1. I am smart enough to work for Tesla. (not confirmed, but likely) 2. Tesla people read these forums. (confirmed) 3. This is actually a...

Follow along here: Exclusive: Tesla Model 3 Photo Shoot at the Gigafactory I hope we learn more about the car today. But since Elon is (supposedly....) not going to be there, I don't think we'll learn much we don't already know. Stay tuned.....

Many, myself included, have mentioned that the dash layout has to change due to Federal regulations. In another thread, someone asked whether we've actually SEEN the regulation. So since it's a rainy, raw Saturday, I did some "interneting". Turns out, the layout we saw on Thursday is legal...

for those that couldn't get to a store today, Elon just Tweeted.... Elon MuskVerified account‏@elonmusk Online ordering at http://Tesla.com will now open at 7:30pm Pacific to ensure no server overload. Presentation still at 8:30. Looks like they're aware of the hype, and are taking steps to...

As we're now under 48 hours on the East Coast until Tesla starts collecting our money, I'd like to know: When do we, as aspiring Model 3 owners, become an official part of "the club"? Is it on Deposit Day? Is it Design Studio Day? Is it upon vehicle delivery? And you obviously don't have to...

Reserving your Model 3 Discuss

I'm basing this off of the current (as of 2/12) Model S config page, as well as using a little common sense, using what EM has told us about what to expect. I'll start with price estimate, and then add my reasoning: Base model: $35,000 Paint: $0 for standard colors $750-1250 for metallic, etc...

supercharge.info has a "permit" dot at Seabrook Commons, just off Rt 1.

Hi everyone. I'm from N. Central MA, about 45 min NW of Boston, just below the NH line. I'm in IT, for the local power and gas company, and my commute is 44 miles/day round trip. 40 of that is all highway, sooooo I'm leaning heavily towards a Model S, and all the excuses I've had so far for not...
