Received my rebate check on March 10th. Non low income applicant, mailed Nov 1st.

That would make sense to me, but the site says they are not taking more applications. Unless they already got enough low income applicants…

Looks like they reached the application limit as of Nov 13 for the last cycle. Has anyone who’s applied checked their payment status? Nothing showing up on mine so far. https://illinoiscomptroller.gov/vendor-services/vendor-payments-new

Any updates on this service center?

My understanding is all EVs now must have an EV plate due to a law passed which increases yearly registration to $250. The reasoning is since EVs don't pay gas tax they should contribute their fair share since the taxes are used to improve roads. Illinois now has No incentives to own an EV which...

+1 on this. It annoys me so much I did away with my easy entry profile. I need to submit a bug report...

Thanks for your comments. Charging last night went well, though decided to reduce the amperage from 12 to 10 due to some fluctuation I was getting in my charge times. It kept bouncing around by an hour back and forth every 15 seconds or so - I assumed because it wasn’t getting a consistent...

Couldn't find another thread on this topic (I tried, honest!), so I figured I’d post and get some of your thoughts. I’m currently staying at a hotel with my Model 3, and my only charging solution is a 110V GFCI outlet, unfortunately mounted sideways (I do not feel comfortable letting it hang at...

April 2018 Build w/ 2019.16.2, almost 12k miles - Displaying 325 miles @100%. Not sure if this matters, but the vast majority of my charging is done on a 120V outlet in my garage (pack balancing?).

To me, the Hyundai EV's are quite impressive, and I think even Elon would agree that having more companies offering cars like this is a good thing as it helps accelerate the use of sustainable transport. I think it is also impressive that Hyundai can match or exceed the efficiency of Tesla's...

I’m not singling anyone out, and mean no offense to anyone, including you. I apologize if you were offended. I think your comment is telling though. Why should we be “conditioned” to accept an inferior customer experience? My Tesla is the most I’ve ever spent on a car, and my expectations from...

I am with the OP on this, and think the responses are harsh and unjustified. Regardless of the magnitude of some of these discrepancies, the Tesla sales staff did not seem to have a good explanation for any of these issues, which when doing business with a normal company is a red flag. Couple...

As far as 0-60, haven’t measured, but turth is my cars current power is enough for my purposes.

I have 2 conflicting thoughts on this situation. 1. I logically understand car prices and options change constantly. For ICE cars, end of year clearance sales happen every year, and never once have I been concerned about this for my previous cars. On the other hand.... 2. As an early adopter...

I couldn't agree more and had similar thoughts while watching that train wreck. And the reward for watching was to see a large Model 3 with no unique features other than its bigger and had a hatch (which we didn't see during the reveal anyway).

As much as I am enjoying my Model 3 (closing in on a year already :)) I admit that their recent string of, IMO, erratic announcements makes me feel slightly more negative about the company. I am also disappointed with all the stories I hear of poor customer service, coupled with my own mildly...

I had this issue a month or two ago when it started getting cooler outside. Switching off the recirculate function helped a lot, since it tends to bring in cool dry air versus recirculating damp air. I also only use front defrost and the floor vents.

Talked to the SC - since the plastic guide is not a separate part, they need to replace the entire charge port. Seems wasteful, but they did not hesitate when I spoke with them. Here are some pics...

This just happened to me last night. Was at the Tinton Falls NJ SC, had a hard time getting the charge cord to reach the port (backed up as far as I could). During the first try I didn’t have the ends aligned, went to remove the plug when one of these pieces popped out. Was still able to charge...

Absolutely - I made sure of this as I was putting these on. Aero covers go on perfectly and look good also.

I removed my center caps for the first time yesterday using a "lighter duty" suction cup, also from a screen repair kit from iFixit. Although it took a few tries on each wheel I was able to get them all out using this method. Much better than the one youtube video I saw of a guy using a roll of...

Same issue - Curb Rash on rear passenger side on my 3rd day of ownership. Explored a few options, and initially bought some RimSavers from RimBladesUSA to at least minimize this sort of damage in the future. Turns out they also covered the scrapes on the rim of my wheel (see pics). They were...

Just installed the Clear HD glossy screen protector from Abstract Ocean. Looks perfect, no huge issue with glare, does a decent job of not picking up too many finger prints. Definitely recommend. I think Matte screen protectors diminish perception of sharpness and brightness based on my...

Funny - I just had this problem today also. I went to drive, tried to play music from my phone, but the car said it wasn’t connected. This persisted while I ran errands around town despite rebooting the car and my phone, trying to manually connect the phone through Bluetooth etc. When I went to...

Thanks - the car is in fact locked while I’m charging because I charge outside by my townhouse. Must have missed that in the manual. Thanks again!

Just picked up my 3 yesterday, and it’s totally awesome! So far there are only a few small things that aren’t perfect, but very minor and not worth getting too uptight over. One of those things happens during charging. When I plug the car in, the charge light on the car lights as normal - blue...

Just picked up my 3 yesterday, and this happened to me after picking up coffee this morning after I got back in the car. While futzing with my phone to resolve the issue, the car did a soft reboot by itself, and after it reloaded everything was normal. No issues since......fingers crossed.

Haven’t seen any threads on this topic - if there are I apologize. Obviously there have been some issues with the Model 3 since it’s started production, but overall are there fewer issues with the 3 than the S and X at the same stage? Although my knowledge of all Teslas is derived from this...

Invited 2-22, Configured 2-23, VIN assigned 4-2 (100xx) - Black Aero No EAP Got a call from my ISA this evening (4-4). She said the car is ready for shipment to the rail yard, and from there will go to another distribution center, where it will then be loaded on a truck and sent to my local SC...

Right on cue. Just got my VIN - 100xx. Black Aero No EAP. NJ

Well, same config, but invited 1 week after you, plus on the east coast. So I'm probably after you. Hopefully a big slug of black aeros come through soon...

Same config and timing as me and east coat. Hope I’m next!

Awesome and congrats. So jealous :)

Ordered. Now I just need my car. 5 weeks and counting since configuration - no VIN. :(

Congrats! I also configured Black Aero, but on 2/23 (after 2/22 invite) and on the East Coast, so no VIN yet. As others have already stated, getting a bit miffed at Tesla for the wait (it's been 4 1/2 weeks), and seeing all these west coast VINS is painful (though I am happy for all of you to...

Thanks for the advice. Just looked quickly and saw that Tesla does not offer an L5-15R adapter for the UMC, meaning I'd need some kind of adapter or special cord to connect the regular 5-15 plug. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of using an L5-15R receptacle?

I am planning on doing the same thing - my daily commute is 20 miles round trip, and I’ll only be in my current home for another 3 to 4 months. However I will be installing a 50 amp outlet in the garage on my new house, as my commute will be longer and I want the flexibility. I think your plan...

Tried searching but didn't find anything - bad search terms perhaps. Thanks for the tip.

Potential dumb question. Hopefully in the next 4 weeks I will be taking delivery of my Model 3. I will be moving in about 3 months to a house with a garage where I will install a 50 amp outlet. In the meantime, my townhouse (no garage) has an outdoor 110V outlet (on a 15 amp circuit) which I...

Non-owner, configured 2/23 (2/22 invite), Black Aero config, NJ. No VIN yet. Will post as soon as VIN is assigned — already checking my tesla page every 10 minutes. If the Tesla page was a person I’d be a stalker.......:) )

What good are these estimates? Why even bother stringing people along. Better to under promise and over deliver right? Anyway, I guess this is my official first hand welcome to Elon time.....

Mine was Nov to Jan, now reads Feb to April. Non owner east coat line waiter. Doggone it :(

!vinbot Model 3 #6423 !vinbot Model 3 #6423 !vinbot Model 3 #6423 :)

Sorry - didn't snap a pic of the silver......:(

Spotted 3 Model 3's at Highland Park, IL Tesla a few hours ago. Highest VIN was #6423. The other 2 were in the 3000's and 5000's. I also have to say after seeing the black it has me questioning my color choice again! !vinbot Model 3 #6423

I was actually Oct - Dec and got moved to Jan.

Nov - Jan. About 40th in line in Short Hills NJ. Non owner.

Just wondering how many others out there have with a Nov - Jan estimate that have not been invited to configure yet. Curious how many missed estimates there are. I am a non-owner on the east coast who somehow got in the Nov - Jan group, so in truth I’m not shocked I did not get to configure...

I may be wrong, but isn’t the reason FWD is desirable in slippery conditions is that the majority of the weight in most ICE vehicles tend to be over the front wheels? If so, since the Model 3’s weight ratio is 48:52 F:R, it should be at least effective in the snow as a typical FWD ICE vehicle...

Hello All - As I look forward to configuring my Model 3, I noticed in the various descriptions and videos of the configurator that you need to select either "Cash" or "Financing" when ordering. My assumption was "Financing" means financing through Tesla, however I wanted to have the option to...
