Car is in great condition, no accidents, no issues. Wife found new job just a few blocks from me and we moved near city center so no need of a 2nd car. Priced to sell at $42.5k. Located in Charlotte NC See all car info below. Please pm me if interested.

This morning when entering the car, passenger side windows didn’t auto go down. They also do not respond to window controls after this happened. Thus passenger side doors can’t be closed and I had to drive my other car to work. Anyone had this issue before? Know a solution? I am also planning...

These constant price changes are terrible. They destroy brand value and hurt both old and new customers. They make people doubt their decisions, wonder if they made/are making the right choices, and become generally more reluctant in such a major purchase, the purchase of a car. People highly...

This was a pretty disappointing roll-out, for 2 primary reasons: Model Y looks like a bloated model 3, with a bit more interior room, but not much; with road clearance that doesn't look materially different. Its shape will compromise both rear headroom and cargo space Won't be available, per...

This new "all online" sales framework is pure fantasy and is doomed to fail. Even with its stores and sales force, Tesla's sales department is widely seen as one of the worst in the car industry. Many buyers on this forum, myself included, have experienced significant frustration with Tesla's...

So have owned a regular RWD for about 2 week, just want to share my thoughts on the standard 18in tires and brakes and then comment about whether it makes sense to have these standard items on a P3. So basically on the first turn after leaving the store, I heard tires squeaking. A day later, I...

So have had my Model 3 for just a few days but I noticed that my car's map traffic info doesn't auto-update. So with BMW, Model S, the car map's traffic info would update say every few minutes so it stays current. However with my Model 3, the traffic info is stagnant. So for example I see the...

Just got my Model 3 this past weekend and noticed an interest dynamic concerning its acceleration. Basically instead of outputting full torque at 0, the car feels artificially slowed / limited in the first half seconds or so. I have owned / driven both AWD and older RWD Model S cars and never...

So both my wife and I love Elon and Tesla. We had purchased a Model S back in 2015 and loved the car, even though the purchase experience was sub-par (I had posted back then). Overall there was just a lack of communications leading to many things becoming fire drills at the last minute. Now 3...

Just want to write about my candid thoughts. Back in 2015 I purchased a Model S after test driving several cars. I bought a Model S because we were both convinced that it was the best car in its price level and class. We became Tesla evangelists and said only good things about the car and brand...

I have been able to configure a model 3 since January (being a prev owner) but decided to wait a little due to both 1) want to avoid early-built car and 2) lease on my existing car isn't due till Aug. So it's reasonable for me to order in early June. Fortunately a friend of mine ordered on the...

In addition to parts suppliers and overall production, I have always thought delivery itself will be a key bottleneck as well. The fact is car delivery is a pretty complex process. I think everyone has been in dealers where we shook hands with the salesman and signed term sheets, agreed to...

dI just wanted to make a thread to give some general advice to those who may be new to Tesla or EV. Hopefully this will help you determine which version of the Model 3 to buy and also set the right expectations. Importantly I will focus this discussion on the use of the Model 3 on road trips...

Frameless and very modern; the best looking center screen in all cars today. I really like it.

So I ordered the Model 3 on the first day when it was announced. I am also a Model S owner. Wonder if people know if you keep your reservation position if you sell your Model S (could sell my car in the near future). I would assume that you do. Thanks

As I see more and more complaints on this forum concerning pricing, trade-in, delivery and servicing, I am beginning to consider this issue. The fact is, direct sale does not always deliver a better price and experience to customers compared to dealerships. If dealerships are in fact more...

So as I think about it, the Model 3 that I want is getting pretty expensive... I am going to estimate option prices based on pretty much industry standard in this class (e.g. BMW 3 or MB C class). Base car: $35k This probably comes with 50kwh battery and is good for 220 range. So I want more...

Dropped off my 70D for the first annual service, got a pre-AP 85 loaner vin 51xxx. So I assume it's a 2014 model before AP. Other than the above differences, the loaner car has original leather seats, AS and prem audio. The SC is about 10 miles from my place of work and most of the drive is on a...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2016/04/14/tesla-tech-icons-scramble-lithium-prices-double/83034300/ I think this is something I really didn't take into account before. Sure, technology can get better and more efficient, as the amount of batteries produced increases. However with...

Typos in the title, please delete, will create new thread.

Hi, what should I use to clean the car's wheels? I have standard 19in silver wheels. I looked into Meguiar's yesterday and they have 3 kinds of cleaning solutions, one for chrome (so not that), one for regular coated wheels, and one for uncoated aluminum and various other aftermarket wheels. I...

So got a 70D just over a month old. I have experienced this high frequency but low amplitude AC vibration, maybe twice. Both times they just random came on in the afternoon, generally when I leave from work... (it's been 90+ this summer almost all summer) I didn't know what was going on the...

I charged my new 70D to 100% for the first time today. I have had it for 3 weeks, driven 700 miles or so. The displayed full range is 237 instead of 240. Is this normal, or is this a problem?

Both my wife and I feel the seat belt is too tight around the abdominal area (low abdominal area, where seat belts should be), definitely tighter than the seat belts on our current / previous BMW, Lexus, etc. Is there something you can buy that would stop the seat belt from tightening on the...

So I just got my car on Thursday. I have read on many forum posts that one should leave the car plugged in at all times and limit charge to about 80+-10% or something like that. Thus I am doing that. However one question I have is whether to leave the car on or off. I have set the car to turn...

So I ordered my car on May 4th with an expected late June delivery date, and was first contacted by my Delivery Specialist (DS) on May 19th with a standard email. I was also told that because my local store is not yet equipped to do deliveries, the car will be shipped to my home. Some time...

Looking at the expected map, there appears to be a Columbia SC in the plans... but I haven't seen/heard anything about it... Anyone knows anything? A Columbia SC would make trips down from Charlotte much easier... since now basically we in CLT would need to make a major detour and go to Santee...

I just saw one of Bjorn's video's today where he showed the SC charging speeds of the 85 battery vs 60 battery. Basically both cars began with about 5 to 6 miles left on the battery and they were both changed to 80%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S00RG6uqpPo Basically it took 46 mins for...

So I ordered a 70D last week and went to do a test drive and to compare various options yesterday (have till tomorrow midnight to change for free). About 2 months ago, I test drove a S85 and that's what basically persuaded me to get a Tesla. When I drove the S85, it was on roads that were...

So I am in the market for a new car and I have been researching Tesla for some time since my test drive about 2 months ago (tested a regular S85 and was impressed). After the 70D came out, I personally felt that it was clearly the best choice compared with S85, which I was planning to order with...
