I went for a test drive yesterday and it was amazing! There was at least one person there who was taking delivery, and several others getting test drives. It looked like the back lot was pretty full with a good mix of models ready for delivery. I was there at the end of the day and it was the...

Is it just that they got a ton of orders before the July 1 deadline? I've been saving to increase my down payment and will be ready to pull the trigger later this month but now, instead of 3-6 week, it says that performance is 2-4 months out and other options are 3-5 months out.

Good news! You can now buy a Tesla in Utah | KSL.com

My sister works part-time at a university in southern california. Do you know if that would qualify me, or does it have to be full-time?

Utah, non-owner, line waiter, yesterday the estimator said March-May. Just got my invite email five minutes ago. I’ll be holding my place until June so I can have a higher down payment. Edit: Since it seems to be an issue for some, I can in fact configure.

I have not.

They're saying that the increases are to fund further expansion, not to make a profit. I imagine some of it could be to control wait times as well. If the charging price doubles, fewer people will be trying to use it, though I don't think I've ever seen the State Street chargers full when I've...

I'm getting an error when I try to log in - maybe they're releasing another batch?

Tesla dealership bill speeds 71-0 through Utah House

More of a general statement, but your screenshot is why I specified being single. It's much more realistic if you're filing married.

Unfortunately, if you're single and have a mortgage there are very few instances where it would be financially responsible to buy a Model 3 if you qualify for 0% long-term capital gains taxes.

Line-waiter, non-owner in Utah and still no invite. Now that it's March, we can renew the speculation that Tesla is getting everything in place to open the floodgates on deliveries next month to maximize the federal tax credit. Edit: checked my account too - can't configure.

Reserved at 9:30 AM in Utah, can't configure yet.

Legislation is back on the table that would allow Tesla to sell here. HB0369

There will probably be some amount of batching since they don't want delivery centers to be empty on the east coast while ones in California are overwhelmed.

Is it bad that I kind of want to contact him just so I can do a test drive?

There was a tweet where Elon mused that it could be interesting to put the solar roof technology on the Model 3, but nothing was ever said behind that as far as I know.

What are you basing this on? The weirdest thing I've seen is owners getting invited to configure both Model 3s right away, but I saw an owner here who said they just reserved and had an estimated delivery date of November.

I'll look into it, but I doubt it. Utah got rid of their state EV rebate this year and I just found out that there's a cap on how many HOV stickers they'll give to alternative energy vehicles and there's currently a wait over 1000 vehicles long.

That's further east than me!

Has anyone who has received their car tested to see what the real-world charge rate on a 15-amp 110 volt circuit is? I know there was some speculation that it might be higher than the Model S. I'm in a condo with a dumb HOA, so this will be my primary source of charging for the time being...

Utah Department of Transportation Are you freaking kidding me, Utah? First you take away the state tax incentive, now I find out I'll probably have to wait years for HOV access, if ever!

We've got the Millers and the Garffs to thank for that. The free market is great, but why settle for that when you can take bribes AND make your constituents still believe there is a free market?

I went to the showroom yesterday and found out some new tidbits. They said that because of Utah's laws, all the vehicles they have on the lot need to be used so I'll probably have my Model 3 before they have any to test drive (currently Dec-Feb according to the estimator). They also said that...

I'm hoping XRP will go up in time for me to use it for a nice down payment. I could right now, but I don't want to spend more than 10% of my stash.

Or the token of appreciation that Elon tweeted about.

I just watched a walkthrough of the design studio, and it looks like what I would want to do is defer delivery until January or February. It seems that I would then likely have the option to configure the LR or defer again to the SR.

I may have answered my own question. After reading the FAQ for the umpteenth time, it looks like if there's a good chance I could get a LR I should just wait to configure until January, but if I want to get a SR as soon as possible, I should configure as soon as I am able. It would still be...

This is probably a question for Tesla once I get invited to configure, but does anyone know if it's possible to modify your configuration before taking delivery? My delivery estimator currently says Dec-Feb for the LR, so it's looking very possible that I could get invited to configure before...

I emailed my representative's office (3rd district in Utah) and was told that since Chaffetz resigned they can "take no action on issues of legislation or public policy" until the special election on Tuesday. ...So I haven't had any representation in the House for over three months? Awesome! o_O

Well, ****.

That page isn't loading for me. The full text is here, and I couldn't find anything about the credit. https://waysandmeansforms.house.gov/uploadedfiles/bill_text.pdf It looks like the credit for solar installations would be extended to 2021 though. Edit: Disclaimer - I don't speak legalese...

I asked a police officer in Utah about it and he said they might give you a fix-it ticket for not having a front plate if they have you pulled over for a more serious infraction, but they usually don't do anything about it. They're getting rid of the yearly safety inspection requirement here...

Two weeks ago the Salt Lake City store told me they would be getting some for test drives "within a few months," so either they are going to be delivering to owners sight-unseen or they are further behind than we thought.

My dates are the same, but I just noticed that under the estimates it said, "your selection allows us to notify you when new options become available." I selected one and now it says, "Your preference has been saved. You can change your preference at any time in your Tesla Account." I reloaded...

I went by the gallery in Salt Lake City yesterday and they said there haven’t been any deliveries in Utah yet, so the white one a few people saw must have been from out of state. They also said that they are expecting to get a few for test drives within a few months and once they do they will...

I was driving and didn't have time to pull out my phone, but I'm pretty sure I saw a white Model 3 just south of Salt Lake City yesterday. I'll have to stop by the showroom soon and see if it's there.

If I want discussion of sales figures, I go to those threads. If I want discussion of design features, I go there. If I want to see new pictures, I come here. If there aren't any, then so be it. At least I won't be wasting my time reading things that don't interest me.

It depends on how my investments do between now and when I get my email. I will most likely be getting the 35 though.

Tesla Model 3 test drives bring laughter at the Gigafactory as deliveries are going east It seems employees across the country are getting theirs this month.

Ugh, at this rate I'll just have to flip a coin between blue and midnight silver!

Maybe I'm reading the display incorrectly, but it seems that the car is between 50 and 60% charge on the battery and the estimated charge time is 5 minutes. Wouldn't this be much faster than it's supposed to be?

I'm sure this thought has been brought up before, but it occurred to me today that it would make sense if the gift was some sort of special Easter egg, maybe with a personal message from Elon. It would cost essentially nothing to Tesla, but it would be something cool you could show off to your...

I'm not necessarily stretching, but the most I've paid for a car before this is $2000...so by the time I configure I will have paid more before getting the car than I have on a car total before.

Sort of. I live in a condo and all I have is a normal plug on a shared 20 amp circuit in my garage. I asked my HOA if I could pay to put a 220 volt circuit in and they said no, since the garages are on shared power. Technically, they didn't tell me I couldn't charge on the plug that's there, so...

Look at the link again. Master plan part two was published just over a year ago. I don't have time to dig through transcripts to find where he has referenced the Tesla fleet in direct context of the Model 3, but it's out there. Taking his statements from multiple occasions at face value and...

I'm not interpreting at all. Here is the quote from Elon's Master Plan, Part Deux: "You will also be able to add your car to the Tesla shared fleet just by tapping a button on the Tesla phone app and have it generate income for you while you're at work or on vacation, significantly offsetting...

The thing is, this is obvious and Musk has told us this is where they're headed. He has said that the Model 3 will be the cheapest car they will make because in the near future, opting into the autonomous Tesla fleet will subsidize the cost of the car. This is just proof that their hardware is...

I'm a line waiter, but I do not feel entitled to anything. I do not feel that roadster or S/X owners should either. We are all getting what we paid for, anything else Elon decides to do is on top of that. The only reason I expect some sort of gesture of appreciation is because Elon has now...
