To each their own, however, you think you save $2,400 a year in electricity costs for TV's, dishwasher, fridge, and clothes washer? Not trying to start an argument but that is absolutely impossible. You couldn't save that much money yearly if the items you replaced were 15 years old, so...

Changing lights to LED, definitely, however, if you changed out multiple tv's, a laptop, refrigerator, washer, and dishwasher just to make them more energy efficient, you are NEVER recouping that cost, EVER, not even 1/4 of it. Estimating that entire cost to be $5,500 conservatively (very...

Yes, $0.20 is more per kWh then a TOU rate of $0.11, however, if your spouse works from home and you don't adjust your energy usage, it's not much of a savings. Also, it may not be advertised on the Tesla website yet, however, I have it on pretty good authority that the 400 kWh is included for...

Pretty sure the SuperCharger rates they will charge M3 owners will be the same exact rates they would pay at home, so it does not exactly drive them away. Also, it is likely there will still be the 400 kWh free per year.

Even with a wait, why would someone buy a used, high mileage, out of warranty Model S for nearly the same price they would pay for a brand new Model 3 after all the credits? For free Supercharging??!!! Not likely!

Front end of 3 > refreshed S and WAAAAAAAAAAAY nicer than original front of S!!!!! I like the back half of the S better though.

These same types of inconsiderate exchanges happened before there were Model 3's, with current S and X owners. This is not new because there is now a lower cost car to purchase. This individual was just a jerk, like the S and X owners before him who have done similar things, and frankly, like...

If before you make that deposit, you read and sign, or electronically sign that you understand your deposit is indeed non-refundable, uhh, ya, it is.

So your window originally started in November and you have not yet been invited to configure? Mine was Feb-Apr and I was hoping to be invited to configure by the end of November. I'll keep waiting.

1 month delay on mine as well. Will it happen again, maybe. As of right now, no big deal. Can't wait for 2018 to get here!!

Guess I am going to stand corrected on this, original unveil says end of 2017. I am pretty sure that was moved up significantly from original planned date, however, I can not find any proof at the moment. I'm not a leaser though, still rocking my 04' Mitsubishi Galant. Won't enjoy waiting...

Pretty sure when the first unveil of the M3 came out, Tesla's timeline was 2 years beyond what it is now, just FYI.

The Model 3 LR is software limited just to differentiate, they had to uncork the S75's so they can make the 3's faster as well.

I ask because I am putting in a NEMA 14-50. You say it is for safety reasons, so are they limiting all future S/X UMC's to the same 32 amp? If not, I do not see why they have done it to the 3's UMC.

Anyone know why or have thoughts as to why Tesla would make the UMC for the 3 only capable of 32 amps if the LR battery option comes with a 48 amp onboard charger? Makes no sense to make all cars charge slower unless they are at a SC.

This is confusing. I don't understand why having a PowerWall would change anything. All they need to calculate is power pulled from the grid versus power pushed back to it from excess generation.

You called and asked and they said they paid less because of no visibility behind the meter? They only pay about $0.03/kWh for your excess production, so it is far less than what you would pay them for the same amount of electricity. Nobody should expect to make $$$ on their solar. Oversized...

I installed a Solar Edge Inverter to be compatible with a PowerWall, so I will do in the future if the cost is significantly less, just couldn't justify it for the almost non existent blackouts we have had from 09'-17' in this home.

Yes, on true-up. My NEM chargers for the year were -$357.08, add in $117.28 for the Electric Minimum Delivery Charges, convert to the pennies they are paying me for my over generation as they do not pay the retail rate for my extra free power, and I got a $47.93 credit. My extra power will go...

Love the setup. I live in California, I should be getting about $36 back from PG&E after my true up. I did not do a PowerWall, however, because of Net Metering. Did you do it to be more green or did you do it because it created a cost benefit to you?

I bought my system from gogreensolar.com, filed for permits with my city, got approval to start install, did install myself (friend helped), had city inspector come out to check to code, got my permitted work signed off by the city, emailed copy of city approval of install to gogreensolar, they...

Did my own install, not with PW's obviously, SolarEdge has a new inverter that has a EV charger built into it. Came out 8 months after I did my install. Just FYI.

Can't you tell your PowerWall to charge at night when costs are lower and use that during the day when costs are higher? Power shifting would help you while you wait. I'm surprised your panels can't be on before PG&E comes to your home. I did my own 6.12 kW, 24 panel install with a SolarEdge...

Already have my plates waiting on a California plate with Yosemite background, "LIL T3S."

I just want one for our little utility rack for extra luggage for Disney trips with a family of 5. Still have to bring 1 stroller for a few years.

Some people responded to the report on "Model 3 Owners Club," stating their reservation window was pushed back a month. Time shall tell.

My window remains the same, Feb-Apr.

I went to the factory yesterday to see all of the colors in person, which I was able to. I did not bother to take pictures of the actual vin, however, the highest number I saw was 196.

Is there deals like this to purchase and not lease?

I posted pictures this morning on thread "model 3 with ultra white interior," when I saw and snapped pics of a model 3 I saw when headed home from Reno Rib Cook Off. The model 3 was pearl white with ultra white interior.

Drove from the bay area to the Reno Rib Cook Off today and was pleasantly surprised to see this driving West on HWY 80 as I headed home. Made my day, besides all of the awesome ribs. Same configuration I want to get.

I did a 6.12 kW self install system that I bought from gogreensolar.com. I am not super handy, but friend helped me with the manual labor of mounting the array and getting the panels on the roof. Probably spent about a week doing it because it was insanely hot in August when doing it and we...

Another movie theatre? The Concord Brenden is only like 2-3 miles away, and the Pleasant Hill Theatre is real close as well.

not the only problem. when on road trip in mountains, if your phone does not get service, neither does the app!

I did a 6.12 kW self install solar system from gogreensolar.com. I have 40 days left until I hit my 1 year solar production mark and I have so far produced 9.3 MWh (already 100 kWh more than what they estimated my yearly total to be!!!!), that is just under 2,000 more kWh than I have used (even...

Our hospital has 8 total chargers, 2 designated in the MD parking, 2 in employee parking, and 4 in the general parking, all free, however, they cap you at 4 hours of free charging, then charge you $5 so people will not leave their cars there all day. Half of the chargers are on one network and...

Just out in employee parking, near I'm guessing the main entrance. It was to the left of the food trucks that were there. The silver one was on a charger and the pearl white one was parked in a spot designated for valet only but only 2 rows away from each other.

I drove over to the Tesla factory today just to get a look at one in person. I have been wanting pearl white but wanted to see silver and blue in person. I was not able to find a blue one but the pearl looked amazing. As far as looks compared to S, from the front, and side views, I prefer it...

hopefully they offer it, I do not want to go through the hassle of changing it myself.

no red calipers on premium upgrade?

good thing the provided cord is like 20' long

Hopefully you called the police so that they can get cited for not having insurance. I think it is like a $3,000 fine in California.

hmmm... > 500k reservations. Seems like quite a demand...only like nearly 5x the S/X combined. I do not care about the charger, just laughed at your thought that there was not a Model 3 demand.

Not sure if this has been confirmed or not before. I just saw a new Tesla Model S at Costco and it has the same camera on the side of the upper car (called the B pillar??) where you would swipe a keycard on the Model 3. It made me check the back of the car to make sure I was not looking at a...

nope, you've already warned us, it will just make your 3 months 6 months instead

from Model 3 reveal to when i'm "estimated by Tesla" to get mine is 2 entire years. Model Y has not had a reveal, so at least late 2020, more likely 2021.

Any thinking that Tesla's estimates could be purposely longer so that they can make surprise everyone with sooner production and deliveries?

Troy...Tesla has me delivery estimate for the long range as Feb-Apr. Any idea when I will be invited to the actual configurator? Do they only invite a couple months in advance since there is such a backlog? Thanks.

Question, sorry if this has been asked before. I know Tesla has not had this big of a backlog, ever. I have a estimate on MyTesla of Feb-Apr 2018, how far in advance will I be invited to the configurator? Thanks for any help.

Tesla has some 79k more US cars to sell before hitting the 200k mark. So even if they hit the 200k in 4th quarter of 2017 (which they won't), they would still have all of Q1 of 2018 at the full credit, so the above numbers are absolutely incorrect. Troy's are probably correct but will be...
