    Experiences going from a 3 to a Y? Considering trading my 3

    Tesla just updated my offer for 2018 LR RWD, Pearl White, EAP, 22.5k miles. They offered $32,500. That's a few thousand less than what they offered back in start of April. I was honestly expecting the offer to go up not down (due to covid and thinking it was low back then) I was told they have...

    Mt. Kisko NY Delivery Experience

    Are you sure Smithtown won't just be a Service center instead of a full sales location? I'm a little out of the loop on new stores down state.

    Mt. Kisko NY Delivery Experience

    Darn, I was hoping to not have to drive down for a pickup again (got my Model 3 down there). I don't trust the Y for a delivery with all the quality issues right now..

    Mt. Kisko NY Delivery Experience

    So Tesla won't do a delivery at a Service Center, only the show rooms?

    VIN Assignment

    I, too, was pleasantly surprised to be emailed yesterday. They moved my delivery up a week to June 16th (was offered the 13th, but want a weekend delivery to avoid taking off of work). I've heard of 3 others or so in the area, so we should start to see them up here more often. I did have a mini...

    VIN Assignment

    Just showed up within the last hour (updated spreadsheet too). Now hopefully I can schedule a delivery soon!

    VIN Assignment

    You were not the one I was referencing. I forget who it was, but they were also in the Rochester area. They sent mine to Pittsburg PA because that is the "local" SC that services our area.

    VIN Assignment

    I sort of have, and have seen at least one other in the same situation as mine: They assigned me a VIN going to the incorrect SC for delivery for my location (due to NYS EV tax rebate). I may have a VIN now, but it's not showing, and it has been a little over a week. The other person who had the...

    VIN Assignment

    My edit button disappeared last night, but the Charger trick isn't showing a VIN just my RN number. It looks like it's still working for other people though.

    VIN Assignment

    Sounds similar to my situation, except I was invited/configured on 4/10. Got VIN on 5/14, lost it on 5/15 for White/Aero. Still waiting for a new VIN.

    Upstate / Western New York Delivery

    I've been checking using all the new methods, still no VIN. I think your case is the one that I saw before it happened to me, so I wasn't too surprised but had hoped it wouldn't happen anyway :( Good luck tomorrow!!

    Order estimate pushed back

    I lost my VIN last week due to them shipping the car to the wrong SC. I tried to remove it from the spreadsheet but it wouldn't let me blank out the date.

    Order estimate pushed back

    The VIN was gone before that change to the website and I still do not have a VIN (even with that method to check it). Also the Edit link is still present, which supposedly disappears if you have a VIN assigned.

    Order estimate pushed back

    Invite & Configure on 4/10 (White/Aero/EAP), Received a VIN on 5/14, Lost VIN a day or two later and do not have a new VIN (due to them shipping to PA instead of NY for NYS rebate). Received email with June update. I'm a bit annoyed because I had a VIN and started the whole process and have not...

    Upstate / Western New York Delivery

    So apparently the VIN i got was routed to Pittsburg PA instead of Mt Kisco. After I confirmed an in store delivery, I lost my VIN and am now waiting for a new one. I hope it doesn't take too long, it's already been a few days :( Also I was offered a car rental and 1-night hotel (up to $250)...

    Upstate / Western New York Delivery

    I was an invite & configure on April 10th. White/Aero. Mine also said 3-6 weeks but am/was expecting it to be more like 8 weeks. I haven't sold my car (vw r32, not sure how easy to sell) yet, but my inspection is due end of June. So I'm hoping to have the 3 by the end of June at the latest!

    Upstate / Western New York Delivery

    Thanks for the update. Still one month out after getting a VIN? Doesn't make me too hopeful for mine considering I don't have a VIN yet! DO you know if the car rental the 1 night hotel just due to your specific situation or is it an alternative to the home delivery in general? I think I'd op...

    Non-owner config invites have begun!

    I had a friend make a second reservation After that batch of invites seemed to show that all current owners were invited. His new reservation does NOT have access to configure. He has only ever owned one car, and does have a reservation from 3/31 (online) that is able to configure. So it's also...

    Model 3 UI slow down when engaging Autopilot

    Is it possible that the two applications (Autopilot and the rear view camera) are battling for access to the camera and that's why the live feed looks like it's dropping frames?

    200,000 cars sold by Q1/18?

    If their current "estimates" are right, they plan on being at 5K per week by the end of March, not 5K total for all of March. If that happens then your numbers are small and there may be enough to hit it by the end of Q1.

    Dealership expansion timeline

    NYS law limits Tesla to 5 showrooms, all of which are in NYC area I believe. The Service Centers are all down there too (as you stated), but there is already a dedicated "Tesla Ranger" (or whatever they're called now) for Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse area. He may cover more than that too, not...

    Who's going to Plasti-Dip their car? Post photos here...

    I've been considering plastidip as well, but not sure I can do it myself. I also haven't found anyone local yet. Does anyone know if there are any issues with covering up the sensors (radar in bumpers, etc.) and if it has an impact on autopilot?

    Frustrated by Dual Motor Delay?

    You're not alone. I'm on the same position and it means I will probably suffer and get the RWD. I'm not happy about it but I can't wait that long for AWD. My car probably won't last that long, and the price difference isn't worth it. I'm hoping that the estimate is a little off and it will come...

    What information would you want to know about Model 3?

    Is it possible to put a hitch on, and/or are there any mentions of towing capabilities.

    "Smarter" robots

    Not that it's a big deal, but you have previously mentioned working in AR for a specific company (that you name). Also mentioned working on Samsung AR. I'm not sure if that's the same as this work though.

    What would make you buy a used Model S right now?

    A guarantee from Tesla on a trade in value when it comes time to buy my Model 3. The S is too big and I'd only consider it for a temporary car until I got my 3.

    Tesla Needs a Service Center in Syracuse, NY

    Not having a semi-close service center is about my biggest concern for my Model 3 reservation. My coworker has a Model S, but he has the unlimited ranger service as well. So for now it's not an issue for him, but he knows it will be a problem. I was hoping maybe they had something in the works...

    Grohmann Engineering being acquired to help manufacture of Model 3

    Pretty sure that's an S. It's a fastback/hatchback style like the S

    Cold Weather Package

    I think Tesla had at one point adjusted how the wipers work to keep them far enough up to prevent freezing. Their normal "down" position is below the interior, which is why they had a problem with them freezing in the first place.

    Cold Weather Package

    Keep in mind that if you drive in freezing weather, the heated wipers are useful because there is no ICE under the hood creating heat to help them stay warm & prevent freezing. I wouldn't say it's needed, but I'm definitely getting it (live in western NY).

    [Poll] Would you take a Bolt over an M3 in these situations?

    If it wasn't for supercharging (or some other reliable long distance charging network) I would consider a bolt. I prefer the hatchback styling (even if it's not the prettiest hatchback). So none of your options offer my opinion.

    No confirmation from Tesla

    Is it possible you incorrectly typed in your email? that would explain both. I've heard of that happening to some people and I believe they were able to get it sorted out by calling Tesla (not sure what number or anything, sorry)

    Heads-Up-Display (HUD): More proof

    It could be that the HUD simply isn't ready yet and that's why they're hiring people with experience in that field. They have a little while to get it all sorted. That said, I'm not sure that I believe it will have a HUD. I think it will have other types of feedback to help assist the driver...

    How many reservations will Elon report Wednesday?

    From what I read he did exactly what he said. He said he'd give an update for the 3 day total and then one for the week. He did the 3 day total here and it hasn't been a week yet (which he will probably tweet either last tonight or tomorrow).

    Model 3 reservations ($1000 down) will be accepted in Tesla stores....

    OK, it would be good to have another source. I remember earlier on it had been suggested that you could only reserve in your own country (and some people from Europe had questions about that, but I never found followup answers). I'm also from Roc, but need to be back to Roc by 5:30PM or so. I'm...

    Predict when your Model 3 will be Delivered

    Assuming they start shipping in late 2017, I'm expecting 2nd half 2018. I'm not an employee, nor a current owner, and I live on the East coast. I also don't plan on maxing out options (probably not a P unless it's possible under 55k). Also I have to reserve online instead of in store (none are...

    If You're Reserving -what car are you coming from?

    An '04 VW Golf R32. It was hit while parked withing a year of owning it and probably should have been totalled. Hasn't been too bad, but is definitely starting to show its age. I'm hoping it won't have any major issues before I can get my Model 3!

    Let's do a spreadsheet for the 31st!

    Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I was hopeful that there might be a 'gallery' close enough for me to go to as nothing down in NYC or PA is close enough :( (and can't go out of the country I believe for reservations).

    Let's do a spreadsheet for the 31st!

    Anyone know if the Galleries listed as "By appointment only" actually have store fronts and will be open for reservations? One such is in Hamilton, NY. I've been too lazy to call :)
