I plan to start doing some major home renovations in about 5 years once our kids are mostly out of the house and having a truck at that time will make that much easier. Right now I have several projects I want to do around the house that I haven't started simply because I don't have an easy way...

It works pretty flawlessly for me, but my phone works with it 99% of the time. I have never had walk away lock fail, though I have had to launch the Tesla app on my phone to open the car before, but happens rarely. I think it comes down to how your phone handles (enabled/disables/power saving)...

When I took delivery in July in Bellevue it did not have the license plate brackets installed, they were in the trunk. They asked if I wanted them to install them and I told them no, I would do it myself. I ended up putting the front plate on, its not that bad really, but it did not come...

Beautiful pics and the re-gen is amazing. Every time I see a freshly clean red Model 3 part of me wishes I had gone that color. Then I remember the non-clean red model 3 I rented for a day and I know I made the right decision with my white model 3, which looks good even with a little road dust.

I heard this noise the other day and pulled over to try to figure it out. It went away after about 5 minutes of being on and I haven't heard it since. I also though it sounds like it was coming from behind the glove-box. Its a very subtle sound, but my ears picked it up. The pumps that deal...

The Exped MegaMat Duo 10 sleeping pad (regular size) fits perfectly and can be deflated to fit into the sub trunk section. It is pricey, though a lot less then the Dreamcase. From my testing it is a comfortable mattress. My wife was surprised by how comfortable it was. We will be using it on...

I love my pearl white. The paint job on my car was perfect and it is really easy to keep clean. I quick spray of an instant detailer and a couple minutes will make the car look great. Right now I am trying to wash her once a week, but dirt is not very noticeable on her. I had rented a red...

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I have used Discount Tires on North Division in the past for my other cars, and they have did a decent job. As a life long resident of Spokane, this will actually be my first time purchasing snow tires, I have always just used all season tires on my front wheel...

I watched the video right after you posted it, and I found it really informative. Thanks for posting it, and for your other videos.

I received mine yesterday. They look very nice and my wife approves. She doesn't normally like the look of all weather mats and says they feel nice when she is just wearing socks, which is a plus. I think they look really amazing. I especially like the look of the rear mat.

Hi John, thanks for the welcome and the information. I am strongly considering picking up a couple good hydraulic jack and mounting them myself. I will look into using Tire Rack as an option. Tesla is charging $2000 for a complete set of 18" Aero wheels, with Pirelli Winter Sottozero Serie II...

Teslas are pretty rare in my neck of the woods. I just picked up my Model 3 a couple of weeks ago. I had never seen a model 3 in my city previous to that, but a few days later a Black Model 3 turned past me and we both excitedly waved at each other. I now know there is at least one other...

Hello all, I just got my new Tesla Model 3 a couple of weeks ago. I am already thinking forward to winter later this year and wondering who other Tesla owner's in the Spokane area use for tire related services? Also, what are other Model 3 owners considering for their Winter Tire selection...

I just ordered one from Tesla and had it in under a week, it arrived yesterday. The website stated 4 weeks, but I think that is just boiler plate text they have up for all products right now. Works well.

I received all of my paperwork today thanks to efforts by my ISA along with management in her division. They sincerely apologized about the delay in delivery due to me not getting paperwork in a timely manner and said that management has been meeting about the issue as they know that ideally...

Sorry to hear that! At least you got all the financials dealt with though and you don't have to think about getting paperwork in time anymore!!! Just another 48 hours and you will be driving your new car!!!

Only if you have access to a local branch, not everyone does, and only if they have gotten you a pricing sheet. I am working with Alliant on the loan, they do a lot of Tesla loans and can fund quickly, but they have told me they cannot do same day. They need the document the day before...

Emailing the final pricing sheet is where Tesla is really struggling right now. Per my multiple conversations with Tesla, the contracts team is backed up and they are the ones responsible for generating these documents. They are not doing this in a timely manner. My ISA forwarded me the last...

Is what the Delivery Center sent you a Pro-Forma MVPA?

How is everyone dealing with this in regards to their lender needing the final MVPA to fund the transaction?

I was supposed to take delivery tomorrow and I still don't have mine. We pushed my delivery to Saturday due to that and the car being delayed on the truck. The contracts team is very backed up. I lit a fire under my ISA today because I wasn't getting replies and ended up escalating through...

In my city its not much cheaper, but when we were in vacation in Kauai it was like 2/3rds the price of all other gas stations and was insanely busy.

I just got off the phone with Tesla sales support and I am ready to spit fire. Support is telling me that all of the documents that need to be submitted to the Contract Team by my ISA have not been submitted and thus the Contract Team can't create the final MVPA price sheet. They couldn't give...

It looks like the Symbol for a Pharmacy. Are you sure it is not just a map icon like the blue gas station one that is showing up?

Picking up in Bellevue I assume? I am on pins and needles right now as I still don't have my final MVPA. I am on hold for sales support right now, hoping I can get some sort of resolution. If I was close to the delivery site I wouldn't be so anxious about it, since it could be delayed a day...

I am dealing with this right now. My ISA has never even spoken to me on the phone and has not provided her phone # so I could call her. I am supposed to take delivery on Tuesday (07/17) and I don't have my Final MVPA yet, which I need to provide to my lender so they can fund the transaction...

I got VIN # 39xxx assigned today fore a white First Production. My Delivery is scheduled for Tuesday, July 17th!

I configured on the 27th and I just got my Delivery Appointment scheduled for July 17th. VIN 39xxx White 18" aero wheels RWD No EAP

If cost wasn't a factor I would get a 6 seat Model X. Its a very comfortable vehicle. It just feels more roomy, and there are a lot of nice features like the Windshield.

I rented a model 3 for a day off of Turo while on vacation in California. On first sitting in it I was a little underwhelmed by the interior. But, after spending a day with the car, I was 100% sold on the car, regardless of if I was impressed by the interior. The car is just really nice for...

Sounds like they have the phantom screen touch issue where the screen is registering touches when there are none. Most of the issues they describe are with weird software stuff happening. I think they need the touch screen replaced. That's my hunch.

The list is pretty big. These are the things I most desire in a Tesla and is what sets them apart from the competition in my mind. Some these may be features on competitors, but I don't know of any other cars that have all of the equivalent features. EV Large Battery Sizes (210+ Miles)...

A lot of the information for this article is pulled from a TMC thread where there is some in depth analysis of EPA documents. You can find the long and detailed discussion in this thread if you are interested: [Spoiler Alert + Mild Speculation] Tesla has created a monster!

I would much rather spend money on after market rims as I will likely need a second set for snow tires anyways. I wish if you spent the $1500 for the "upgraded" rims you also got the original rims with the car, then it would make more financial sense.

He also confirmed it comes with black lug nut covers and a Tesla Logo cap!

That is very informative Yarder, thanks for posting the details of your latest trip. Did you use the destination charger at your hotel, or pop into another location that had one? What is the etiquette on using a Destination Charger at place you are not staying?

Thanks for the input. I don't currently do any long drives with regularity. I have only done two 200+ mile road trips in the past three years (both to Seattle), I typically fly. But, part of the reason for that is my current car is not very comfortable for extended travel, and doesn't even have...

Thanks for the information John! I am still contemplating a larger battery, but now I know I don't need it for this drive.

I would take that into consideration for any trip over to Seattle. I would make sure to have destination charging at anywhere I stay. What would be the minimum miles of charge you would feel safe leaving Seattle (assume downtown) to get through the pass to ellensburg?

That efficiency is really surprising, I am impressed at those numbers! Is it similar going East? Thanks for the info.

I am looking at getting a Model 3 sometime next year, or possibly moving into a CPO. I live in Spokane and a common road trip destination is Seattle. I know we have a Supercharger in Ellensburg and Ritzville which covers the route well, but one thing I haven’t been able to find much...
