    CA Waiting Room

    Just ordered a Model Y LR FSD White ext/Black interior yesterday from Irvine CA Tesla. They told me the estimated delivery date was May to June next year. Is there a possibility this will be moved up? The 6 year warranty on my 2016 Model S90D ends in March next year so hope to get it around...

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    Is it bad that I don’t understand half of the improvements in the 10.4 release notes? Hyperparameter tuning? VRU? I am on 10.3.1 beta waiting for 10.4. Also, I have been running 10.3.1 but I can’t find the video record button to report issues.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I've had FSD Beta 10.3.1 for 2 days. It has a tendency to the right turn only lane when I am going straight. Then, it will switch lanes back to the left/middle lane at the last moment. Has anyone else had problems with this?

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Has anyone gotten to 99-100 score over 100 miles this morning and gotten either FSD Beta 10.2 or 10.3? I just hit a score of 100 over 100 miles driven (after a reset yesterday) but no update yet. Sounds like with the issues from the 10.3 update leading to phantom FCW and braking I am not sure...

    AWD Non-P Owners: Would you upgrade to the Performance Model for $6K?

    I will take that 5K refund in exchange for the free supercharging although if they will do the Performance plus upgrade I would take that instead of the refund. I rarely use Supercharging.. probably less than once every 2 months with my 2 1/2 year old Model S. I am a P3D- owner with free...

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    P3D- owner here. I would give up free unlimited supercharging for a 5K refund or the performance upgrade package. I would choose the free performance upgrade package if given a choice between the two. I rarely supercharge because I charge 98% of the time at home and can afford to pay for any...

    From Models S to Model 3...Wow these cars are different!

    I just picked up my Performance model 3 and I agree that it is annoying you can’t have both the Tesla Nav and the rear view camera on at the same time which I always have in my S90D. I hope they will update this in the future so you can have both on a split screen.. preferably top/down...

    Costa Mesa delivery experience -WOW!

    Just picked up a Performance Model 3 from CM this afternoon... I had rejected a delivery 2 1/2 weeks ago for a bumper defect which they replaced for me without any hassle. They did not have EAP activated (also not activated 2 1/2 weeks ago) but took care of that in 15 minutes l. EAP was very...

    Southern California (Orange County) Tesla Model 3 Tint/PPF Group Buy

    I went to take delivery of my Performance Model 3 at Costa Mesa yesterday. On inspection of the car, I found some scratches and chips in the paint on my front bumper. The scratches were barely noticeable unless you looked carefully. The service manager took a look and said they would replace...

    Elon showed up at my Model 3 delivery!!!

    I just delayed delivery of my Performance Model 3 for some bumper paint defects (they will replace the bumper). However, if Elon Musk had been personally delivering my Model 3.. I am sure I would have overlooked the defects and happily taken the car.

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Thanks! That is what I am thinking too.. although I wonder if I could have tried to negotiate a discount or some benefit in exchange for taking delivery of the car with the minor bumper defect.

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    So I went to Costa Mesa today to take delivery of my P3D with 18 aero... beautiful car but I noticed some scratches on the right front bumper. My DS called the service manager and the service manager said the front bumper needed to be replaced. They estimated 10 business days.. is this a...

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Congrats on getting the first P3D from Costa Mesa! How did the delivery experience go for you? Did you do an inspection to check out the car? Did they give you any free Tesla swag?

    Please post and let me know how your experience with Costa Mesa delivery went. I will be picking up my P3D from there on Sunday.

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Please post about your experience with Model 3 delivery at Costa Mesa after you get your Model 3. I will be going to Costa Mesa next weekend for my P3D delivery and would love to hear how things went for you. I could have gotten my Model 3 as early as Wednesday but we can't make it out there...

    I love listening to your Ride the Lightning Tesla podcast every week. I am happy to hear that you will almost be getting your Model 3. Keep up the great work with the podcast.

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Nope.. just lazy and I know I will be paying off the loan within 6-12 months. Tesla financing application is very easy.. I think the outside loans have a more complex application. I think outside credit union offers <2% interest so worth doing if you plan to finance your Tesla over several years.

    Guesses on "token of appreciation" for line waiters tweeted by Elon Musk

    I personally would like to have a mini model 3.. I wonder how hard it would be to repaint it to the actual color (Metallic Silver) of my Model 3 Performance that I will be picking up this weekend. Would buying a bottle of Tesla touchup paint be enough?
  21. Bruin1996

    My Model 3 Performance will be ready for pick up on Thursday 7/26!

    Awesome and big congrats to you. My metallic silver Performance Model 3 with 18” wheels, premium black interior, and EAP was ready for delivery on 7/25 but due to work I will be taking delivery next Sunday 7/29. Really looking forward to it!

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Thanks.. we are going with Tesla financing.. 3.55% APR for simplicity... will pay off early. Delivery set for next Sunday 7/29! (could have gotten delivery as early as Wednesday but wife and I can’t get to Tesla store in time from our work and I have to work Saturday)

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    My performance model 3 will be arriving at Costa Mesa also this weekend.. will probably be ready for pick up sometime next week! Will be awesome for both of us to be one of the first Performance Model 3 owners out there in Southern California!

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Thanks for the tip. We plan to pay off the loan within the year.. just a little tight with cash due to renovations on a new house and a Disney cruise (along with quarterly estimated tax payments) but we should easily be able to pay off the loan within 6 to 12 months.

    I just got a VIN for a Model 3 Performance without the Performance Upgrade package. VIN 62xxx. Delivery as early as July 27.

    Any Southern California VIN assignments/deliveries for folks who configured after 6/27??

    Just got a VIN Number for my base Performance Model 3! Tesla owner, waited in line on March 31, 2016 to reserve.. Costa Mesa delivery late July!

    AWD & Performance Price drop? Also... I can configure!

    I ordered the same base Performance Model 3 (with approval from my wife). Can't wait for my new Tesla!
  31. Bruin1996

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    Just an update.. I just ordered the base Performance Model 3 (without the spoiler, wheel, aluminum pedal, top speed upgrade). I discussed the purchase with my wife who was OK with the base performance but didn't see the need for the larger wheels (which means more frequent tire replacements)...

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    I had original decided to go with the AWD Model 3 but now there is an option to get a lower end Performance (18” wheels, 145 mph top speed, no aluminum alloy pedals, and no spoiler) for only $11K more and my configurator is open. This does make the Performance upgrade a lot more palatable...

    Has ANYONE been able to complete a M3Dual order?

    I am a Tesla owner was #70 or so in line at Palm Desert, CA.. Reserved on 3/31/16 at 11 am PST. Got invite to configure in November, 2017. Still waiting for AWD option as well.
  34. Bruin1996

    Has ANYONE been able to complete a M3Dual order?

    Maybe I should order a RWD Model 3 and then call to modify it to an AWD or P configuration? I wonder if that would be faster than waiting for the AWD/P option to become available to me. Did Tesla charge you a fee to make this modification?
  35. Bruin1996

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    I can afford the Performance TM3 but just not sure I would really use the extra level of power and handling. I would be buying it primarily because it would be cool to have one. Not sure if this is a good enough reason to pay the difference.
  36. Bruin1996

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    The Performance Model 3 is definitely a passion purchase. I would be very happy with an AWD Model 3 and it is hard to rationalize why I need to buy a Performance Model 3 besides that I think it has a cool factor that makes it stand out. I doubt I will use the enhanced acceleration often and...

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    Sounds like you have a very good reason to choose the AWD over the Performance Model 3. I feel you are wisely spending the money that you saved for more experience with your family and loved ones.
  38. Bruin1996

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    That would really be nice to be able to read some reviews about how much of a difference there is between the Performance and AWD versions. However, I don't think I am going to wait until the Performance Model 3 is available before ordering (I want to get the Model 3 as soon as possible both...

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    I agree with not getting FSD for now.. even being a huge Tesla enthusiast I am not sure how long we will have to wait to get to use FSD so I would rather pay $4000 whenever FSD comes to full realization rather than $3000 right now. I was ready to buy the First Production Model 3 (got my...

    Has ANYONE been able to complete a M3Dual order?

    That would be cool if we got to configure next week. Is this just an educated guess or have you read something that hints at California linewaiters getting to configure next week?
  41. Bruin1996

    Has ANYONE been able to complete a M3Dual order?

    Has any California Tesla owner, first day line waiter been able to order a P/AWD Model 3 yet? I took delivery of my Model S on 3/26/16 and waited in line to reserve my Model 3 on 3/31/16 and placed my reservation around 11 am PST. Still can’t order a AWD or P Model 3.
  42. Bruin1996

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    Funny response! I can definitely afford it but another goal of ours is to spend wisely and get to financial independence and early retirement.. although $23K is really not that much.
  43. Bruin1996

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    Thanks for th great reply . Thanks for the reply. Insurance would be cheaper and tires would last longer which makes the AWD the better value. On the other hand there is the YOLO consideration. I think I am currently leaning towards AWD (keeping the wife happy is an important...

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    Thank you for your reply. I am conflicted about upgrading to the Performance as I would like it but I know I don’t really need it as I don’t plan to race it on tracks or drag it. It would be very nice to have one (some of my coworkers have the S and X P100D’s) but I would be very happy with...

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    Hi everyone.. I was wondering if the lucky soon-to-be AWD/P Model 3 owners can list some of the reasons why they chose either the Performance or the AWD LR Model 3. I was on the fence between the two models after the announcement but my wife prefers the regular AWD as it seems to be the...
  46. Bruin1996

    Wasn't AWD option supposed to be available last week? or is this delayed?

    Thanks for giving me hope. I will be fanatically checking my email and Tesla account until I can order my Model 3.

    Friday AWD & P announcement?

    First day line waiter and Tesla owner here in southern California.. can’t configure AWD or P Model 3 yet either. I suspect orders are up only for Tesla/SpaceX employees who are ahead of us in priority.
  48. Bruin1996

    Elon says AWD and Perf orders start at end of next week!

    So Elon will be opening up orders for dual motor and performance Model 3 tonight to Tesla/SpaceX employees first probably? I hope I am not too far behind being a Model S owner and a line waiter on 3/31/16.
