    FSD Beta Attempts to Kill Me; Causes Accident

    You overreacted when you took over. By a lot. I’ve had FSDBeta do similar and I simply tap the brake to disengage and take over with zero drama. As you know, the software is beta and we are told we must be prepared to take over as the car might try to do the worst thing at the worst time. How...

    My car is showing Fairfield northbound as temporarily closed. Had planned on stopping there today - can anyone confirm?

    Salvage Car Owners Support Group.

    There is no such thing an X60. Also, I doubt Elon has time to screw you. If what you are saying is true, take it to a service center.

    C’mon Folks! Be nice to fellow EV owners

    I have to agree I don't see anything wrong with this picture. If we want to talk about Tesla owners being inconsiderate - lets talk about the photos I've seen repeatedly of Tesla owners using the Urban chargers in the Pru as parking spaces, instead of charging. THAT is rude.

    Driving the Maritimes

    I am thinking of a road trip from Rhode Island to Nova Scotia in my P3D- in late august/early September. Very preliminary planning of possible routes has me thinking maybe stopping in St. John on the way for a night or so, taking the ferry across to Digby, then exploring on the way to Halifax. A...

    Tesla expanding to Rhode Island

    And, it's open! Didn't take pics of inside but it's pretty small. Looks like room for 2 cars (they had an X and a 3 in there) and the interior is pretty sparse. one service bay. (didn't see inside it though.) But there was a nice turnout and it was nice to meet the RI team!

    Any idea where? Is it the Warwick location near West Marine that was rumored before?

    Supercharger - Valley Stream, NY

    I’m here now. Have tried 4 different stalls all down the line and I’m maxing out at 27kw. Battery not cold, 47 degrees today. Super annoying after the last time I tried to charge in the area at jfk and only got 10kw at all stalls. :mad:

    Was at Dedham yesterday dropping off treats to the delivery folks ;) and mentioned this - they didn't know about the actual address but several are ready to transfer Haha. Not sure how it works, but it could be that the availability is pending and will be updated after the Oct 9 hearing...

    Tesla expanding to Rhode Island

    No, I don't see where it will be. I'm nervous it's the vacant store next to west marine in that crappy strip mall - which would mean it's a store and not a service center. I just drove by there yesterday before I saw this article. then went on google street view. I don't see anything else on...

    Tesla expanding to Rhode Island

    Well, looks like RI is back on - though at a different location in Warwick on Bald Hill Road, near the Warwick mall. I will scope the area out possibly tomorrow. (Shame because I probably drove right by it today running errands.) No word on timing but glad to hear something is happening again...

    Rhode Island deliveries

    @Cintoman - yah there is a disconnect with some IDAs re: out of state buyers going to MA. From what I've seen, it's been about 50/50 on home delivery vs going to Mt Kisco. I chose the latter because I have a weird travel schedule and didn't want to have to schedule a 3rd party home delivery...

    Rhode Island deliveries

    VIN check is not required if you are registering it for the first time in RI. It's only if if was previously registered in another state OR the vehicle is titled in a different state. If you do need one, it's no big deal. Literally takes 2 minutes. I did it with my ICE when I moved to the...

    Rhode Island deliveries

    Yes, You can opt for home delivery. From what I've heard it adds an additional 1-2 weeks depending on the delivery company's schedule. I'm picking mine up in Mt. Kisco - decided that my work schedule (I travel) and coordinating with the 3rd party delivery company would add too much...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I will say, I waited 45 days from that screen to the email saying my car was made - but at least I knew at that point my config was being made and I was just waiting for a match.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I know it seems like ages ago - but they JUST added P3D- with white interior, didn't they? I know because that's what I was waiting for - and it seems like I waited forever. Maybe they need a little time to get the now 3 P configurations humming before they add he 4th?

    last night I got the email that my silver with white P3D- model 3 has been built. No details on delivery estimate or VIN yet, but it has been built so they've done a batch of silver. :)

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    I don’t think they do that - unless you roll it into a new order or reservation and I’ve heard there being glitches with that. You’d be better off putting it in an interest bearing savings account and not touching it. Otherwise you’re giving them a free loan.

    Model 3 Priority Reservations Current Owner

    It doesn’t feel like it to me. I think owners got priority invite to configure. I waited for AWD and now am waiting for my P3D- . First hang up was waiting for white interior but now that those are being made and delivered east, I’m still waiting for my vin. So I didn’t get owner priority...

    Model 3 defects on delivery archive - Post your experience

    Did I say that? If you'd read on, you'd see that I said they absolutely should be discussed. Just that the poll should have other choices.

    Model 3 defects on delivery archive - Post your experience

    Absolutely not - we should talk about issues. Maybe add a choice in the poll that there were no issues and it would present a clearer picture.

    Model 3 defects on delivery archive - Post your experience

    Threads like these just end up being fodder for the Shorts on Twitter, since they only represent deliveries with issues and not those that are issue free. If you don't believe me, search twitter for $TSLAQ.

    Updated account summary page: did anyone not get it?

    Out of state folks can't pick up in MA, AFAIK. Like literally are not allowed. Something about MA law/sales tax and Tesla not being a dealership. ME has to either have home delivery, or pick up in NY. (Same for me in RI.)

    P3D white interior (no performance upgrade package) VIN updates

    line waiter, 7/2 order, current owner. Silver with white, aeros here. So how long has it been that they've been sticking to these configs? I believe on the call they say they build all the P cars in the tent - straight line from beginning to end. Seems like they should be switching it up any...

    May AWD/Performance Orders -- VIN / Status Thread

    You can absolutely self refer. It's been that way from the beginning. You can also have a code added after order - I did it with my first referral in this current cycle. They didn't order through my referral link - but they were able to add it after. Given they had Tesla calling them within...

    Tesla expanding to Rhode Island

    Another update: indefinitely on hold. :( Tesla pulls the plug on Warwick showroom Since the article is vague and Tesla didn't respond, I can't tell if it's off, or suspended, or might be somewhere else. But if anything that tech said was true about them being stretched so thin because of the...

    Rhode Island deliveries

    This sounds vaguely familiar - and why we picked up in MA with no issue 3 years ago. I did research this a year or so when I was hoping to pick up the car in WA and drive it cross country - and that it is as you say, that you only owe the difference in RI if the tax is less in the state...

    Rhode Island deliveries

    Tesla just postponed their RI store/service center - I've heard because of concentrating on the ramp. I'm going to check with my DMV. I briefly looked into picking up the car in WA to drive back - I was under the impression that if you bought out of state, you were only responsible for the...

    Rhode Island deliveries

    Has anyone heard that RI residents cannot pick up their cars in MA? When we got our S 3 years ago, we picked up in Watertown with no issue. Someone on the Tesla forum posted that he had to pick up his car in Mt Kisco because RI residents can't pick up in MA. This sounds crazy to me though, as...

    That's what we were told on the factory tour, which I've been on 3x now. But as ecarfan pointed out, it depends on how you define "build a car."

    Updated account summary page: did anyone not get it?

    I got the confirmation page over a week ago. Maybe 10 days ago. I completed the steps at that time, and since it has said "thank you for confirming." (P3D, Silver/white, EAP, 18", Paying cash, no trade in, current owner.) Today, the "thank you for confirming" verbiage is gone from my page...
