My Tesla Service center runs all their Tesla's through touchless car washes.

Can the lifetime subscription be transferred to the Sirius/XM android/iOS app?

why not just use the Sirius app on your phone?

STL day one line waiter and current owner. Didn't get an email to configure but I logged into my account (like I do every day) and I was able to configure and place my order!!!

Same here. I was pushed back from Oct-Dec to Nov-Jan. I would assume that these dates will be modified again after the next earnings call in February.

I do NOT think that this has been pointed out yet. Well done! and thank you!

I am effectively doing the same thing. Taking the RWD to get the car sooner and re-evaluating in 2-3 years to see if I want an AWD M3 or MS.

The Tesla website has been up and down all weekend starting late Friday night into early Saturday morning. I know becasue I basically have that tab open at all times waiting for my invite ;). So it would seem they are trying to make some updates to the site. But these updates could simply be...

That doesn't make any sense at all considering owners in multiple states have not had the option to configure. Why would Tesla invite non owners in any state before taking orders from owners in other states? For instance they clearly did not send invites to MO, TX, AZ, NV, CO... the list goes...

The assumption was they would make more cars then the service centers can fulfill in cali. This became true today when Tesla sent invites out to some owners across the country including the east coast.

Yeah I get that it seems a little bit random just getting antsy :). And I definitely have checked my account numerous times today. IT seems like they might not have invited anyone from Missouri yet. We will see. Again I am just happy invites are going out around the country and that my invite...

I have to admit I am a little concerned about hearing that people who ordered online are getting their invites before people like me who waited in line all night (yes I am a current owner) and ordered in store. I was the first current owner at my store in STL to reserve. I was under the...

This in no way shape or form helps the company in any way. They are way behind their original goals and are even 1 quarter behind their previous goal of hitting 5k model 3s per week. This will likely hurt the stock and make shareholders more nervous about their ability to mass produce the M3 and...

GM stands to lose $9,000 per car on Chevy Bolt The main reason automakers have created EVs, to then only sell them in small numbers are: 1. Public perception that they care about the environment 2. To drive down the total emissions of all of their cars to meet regulations around the world that...

Unfortunately this is the ebb and flow of technology. Sure the model 3 is a little more refined than the S, RIGHT NOW. But that is mainly because they have spent so much time working on the model 3. Tesla was then able to apply everything they knew from building the MS and the MX to creating a...

We should get an official update from Elon in January per Elon's statement in the previous earnings call. See http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ABEA-4CW8X0/5492577519x0x962149/00F6EB90-2695-44E6-8C03-7EC4E06DF840/TSLA_Update_Letter_2017-3Q.pdf From my best guess of seeing the pictures of...

I would bet anything that they are Tesla employees. I know that there are at least 3 local employees that have them. Our dealership is doing a model 3 event tomorrow night so contact your local dealer and see if/when they are doing their event. It is for current owners and M3 reservation holders...

Just an update. I heard from my local Tesla dealer today and tomorrow they are doing a hands on with the Model 3 tomorrow night at our dealership. It is an invite only event for current owners. So for those that are looking to get to see one on person and sit in one, it looks like Tesla is...

I agree MotoEvCA that these things certainly need to happen for those people who will need that test drive and I think that time will come some time next year. I just don't think that now is the time. There are so many people like myself that will take delivery sight unseen and once we all do we...

I personally think the idea of Tesla needing to sell the Model 3 in any way is completely incorrect. Tesla clearly, and correctly IMO, is now in the position of NEEDING to undersell the model 3 in order to keep cash flow moving with MS and MX sales. AND they will need to continue to undersell...

TEsla's website offers suggestions for electricians in most areas. I just used this to contact an electrician about getting an outlet installed at my home. I recommend using it and contacting them. The one I contacted has installed multiple Tesla outlets for people and was VERY familiar with the...

Holy cow! Mine only shifted back one month! Original Oct-Dec (first in Line at store on announcement day) New time updated 1145 AM Nov 1 November to January. I am not holding my breath that these dates hold up either but it is still a good sign. Again better than the years people waited for...

As a current Model 3 reservation holder I am of course disappointed with the new but at the same time not surprised at all. Anyone following this company knows that Elon is very aggressive with his estimates and he always said that it only takes one bottleneck to slow things down. And of course...

I think that it is important to note that just because the MS and MX don't support it doesn't mean the M3 won't. I say this because we know that the M3 supports Bluetooth LE to connect to your phone so that your phone can act as a key. Bluetooth LE has the ability to connect to multiple phones...

That is a very true possibility. Elon told the press on Friday that they were over 500K reservations at that point too, so some cancellations may be helping some of us. But I am wondering if the estimates are dynamic and many people chose RWD (myself included) because they couldn't wait for...

Yes mine did change a little. AWD went from Sept-Nov to July-Aug. SO it improved a few months. Now the question is whether or not these estimates really did move up? Was there an error with the calculations yesterday (totally plausible)? Are they changing on the fly based on users selections...

I have driven a RWD MS 85 in the rain and I can tell you that it was less than great in my experience.. I had to be very mindful of how I accelerated because the wheels would easily spin if not careful. I am in the same boat living in the Midwest where we see all of the elements and I am trying...

Is it possibly Tesla has learned their lesson on providing dates and has moved to under promising, in order to over deliver? I saw this because they have been burned so many times in the past and seem like they are being more realistic with the M3 and even are a tiny bit ahead of where they...

I personally am hoping for free supercharging but that seems more unlikely now. IF they do anything the most likely option would appear to be signature red paint color since they can easily throw that into the configurator.

last night at the event he thanked everyone for waiting in line and had the perfect opportunity to tell us what Tesla is going to give to those of us who waited in line and reserved site unseen. He said nothing! I know we saw a signature red candidate car on the road and some have rumored we...

Sorry you believe that I am spreading rumors. Maybe I wasn't clear in my original statement. The agreement with AT&T probably means that Tesla either pays them a fee for every car sold OR they pay a rate to AT&T up to X amount of cars sold and then ATT can renegotiate the rates with Tesla...

Because that is not how wireless networks work. You can't beam down an internet signal just from a satellite. You would still need a ground infrastructure to beam the signal to the satellite and then beam the internet signal back down. This is NOT a cost effective way to distribute internet. Ask...

What is surprising to me is that everyone is trying to guess how small the battery will be (55 or 60kwh) in the base configuration. But what people seem to be ignoring is the fact that Tesla is making the MS and MX larger by pushing them to 100kwh while 90kwh seems to be on the way out. The way...

I agree with you Model Nerd to a degree. But what I believe will happen is that every car will have the LTE antenna built in and Tesla will negotiate with AT&T (current provider in North America) and other wireless carriers around the world to allow them to send software updates and send AP 2.0...

I understand your thought process here and while you are 100% correct in that the data will be used by Tesla's neuronet. Tesla also knows that they also will need to provide data to the government to convince them that autonomy is truly safer than humans. Elon has said this in the past and that...

In reading a lot of these posts I think that some people are really misunderstanding the point of this announcement and how Tesla/Elon plans to reach Level 5 autonomy. The reason this had to be announced right as the hardware was being installed is due to the large cost of the new hardware. This...

The forum was right! Autopilot 2.0! Fully autonomous cars in production now! Tesla announces all production cars now have fully self-driving hardware

I just now finally got caught up on this thread and while I WAS previously thinking that this was a brand new product that none of us are thinking about that Elon came up with (think of something along the lines of the automated charging snake). BUT the fact this event was delayed right after...

Is anyone else concerned that with the enormous number of reservations far exceeding what Elon and Tesla anticipated, that they may have to modify/remove some options in the initial M3 in order to produce vehicles faster?

I can't imagine Tesla offering this for free on the 3. This has always been speculate as a feature that we would lose in the M3. So plan on paying att 10 bucks a month if you need this. This is the least of my worries of what I will be paying for on this vehicle

In general all RWD card are suboptimal in the snow. I will also say that I live in Saint Louis where we only get a little snow and ice each year compared to some, and I own an AWD car and I will never go back to front or RWD. For someone who appears to live in the NE I would recommend the AWD...

So after watching Elon reveal the Model 3 and subsequently watching every video I could find of people riding in the M3 after the event, I started to try and calculate the cost. Here is how I did it: The starting price of the vehicle will be $35k and in one of the test drives the driver said...

In one of the videos I watched of people's experiences riding in the M3 last night answered this exact question. The Tesla driver said that it is made of a combination of steel and aluminum but they were not specifically addressing where or how much. He did say that it was more steel than aluminum.

I was thinking about this too and it is an interesting point. It will be interesting to see since we are all pretty confident that we will be getting AP version 2. It just depends what APv2 is.

I truly believe that Elon wants SC to be free for all owners. It is a KEY feature to the Tesla ecosystem. Now that they have $200m in bank via reservations and counting with $7.5b in pending sales I don't think that cost is the issue. I wonder if the issue is really going to be overloading the...

But can they do that many in addition to the Model S and X's that they have to build? Remember in 2015 they only produced 50k cars. So to think that they will be able to even double the amount of output would be a huge feat. I think that is why Elon is saying to hurry up and get your...

No because my reservation number starts with 107 and I live in Saint Louis. It is likely tied to what server the Tesla center was connected to at the time. Everyone should keep in mind that in the past the reservation numbers have had 0 impact on when your vehicle is delivered. It is not like...

There are a few things that I am surprised no one has picked up on in this thread yet. Let me start by saying that I have spent the last 18 hours chasing after every video on the internet of people's first drive experiences from last night and there are 3 things that are iterated in every single...

I couldn't agree more with this assessment. I am in the same boat. I have NEVER bought a car even CLOSE to 50k but my wife and I discussed it and we feel that we can make it work to support Tesla and the environment. Lucky for me I live in the US and will get mine before all of you International...
