Like most things Tesla believe it only when you see it. Tesla is notoriously bad at spreading correct information among their employees and their customers. I would not give up hope on this. Check out this thread too: Which tires did you get on your 2022 MYP?

I took delivery one week ago, got the Michelin all-seasons.

Just wanted to follow up here. I took delivery last Thursday AM, June 16. MYP Silver/black no FSD. I decided that further waiting wasn't worth it for me for a number of reasons. I probably would have saved some money (with the rebate), but it wouldn't have been the entire $4k because I had...

I had this on my 3 after a few months of ownership. I changed the filters myself (cheap on Amazon) and I haven't had the problem since. I wonder if there's something with the stock OEM filters that is an issue?

Until you get a VIN take it all with a grain of salt. At the end of the quarter they want to push as many cars out as possible, so they alert anyone who is remotely close to delivery date that their car may be coming just in case one becomes available for you. It's a psychological game. It...

Got my VIN yesterday too. MYP, VIN F460. Date is June 17-21, picking up on Grand Ave. Ordered Feb 16. The rebate thing is bothering me a lot, I'm feeling unsure of how to proceed. I suspect delaying won't really help me because it could be a few months before I see another car, at which...

There's no homelink on any Model 3s anymore.....

Couple of comments to OP, who hasn't owned a Tesla before: Range anxiety is real! More range is better, but after a few months in your first Tesla you'll learn to manage your range anxiety. Of course this is personality dependant. I'm not sure what the stated range is on an SR+, but real...

I'm not sure about swerving but mine definitely lane corrects when not on AP. I've had it misread lane markings a couple of times at the same intersction and cause the car to move over. It screams at me at the same time and is pretty alarming considering I'm driving along at an intersection...

Don't you all remember the guy who was decapitated when he went under a white truck while watching a movie with AP on? I imagine this is to avoid those sort of situations that Tesla finds particularly uncomfortable! i don't think the guy felt anything, BTW, but I'm sure his family is not very...

Luckily the latest update fixed this for me!

Anyone have a solution for this yet? I tried the reboot a few times, including logging out on my phone and doing the screen driven reboot. Nothing changes, still wacky GPS. Has anyone had success with a service center visit?

I traded my 2016 S60D for a LR AWD 3 recently. Pros of 3 (to me): Interior is nicer and better laid out. The lack of internal storage in the S was ridiculous (no door pockets, center console was orgaanized badly) The minimalist interior of the 3 is really charming comparitively. This car...

I received my 3 last week, coming off an S. I used my own referral code and got 2000 free miles of supercharging as both the giver and receiver of the code. What exactly would happen wasn't obvious to me going into the purchase, but it worked out as I had hoped. As an aside, my S had free...

In general you can drop them any time, they'll (usually) refund you the prorated amount.

Rates vary greatly by state/county as well, so it's tough to compare apples to oranges. Having said that I have switched auto insurance companies twice in the last 6 years. I was with the Hartford for over 15 years but they kept jacking up my rates for no reason. I said goodbye, went to...

It's official- orderd 6/24, received 7/8, exactly 2 weeks to the day. Black/black LR AWD. The delivery guy was great, very nice and made sure everything was in order, including my return of my prior leased Model S. I would give the experience a 9.5/10 overall. I'm keeping that last 0.5 for...

Ordered 6/24, black LR AWD. On 7/3 I got notified that it's coming on 7/8. Got my VIN today and confirmation about 7/8. I'll believe it when I see it, but so far it is lined up to be 2 weeks to the day. Of note, the lot in which the cars are stored is on the north side of Chicago, about 1...

ahagen- Does that model S have the extra cameras that Tesla started putting in later? My S is from 2016 and there's no sentry mode because there are no cameras. The tech is lacking, although the performance of that P100D might trump that for you. Also, do consider the size, as OCR pointed...

I'm going to lease a model 3 pretty soon, when my model S lease is up. 3 other things to consider: 1)There are tax advantages to leasing for some people. 2)no downside risk for lessor (liability is defined) 3)tech changes so quickly and a lessor gets the newest tech in 2 or 3 years. My...

Scott- Obviously you pay a lot of attention to the news. Every Tesla fire is reported in the news, as is every Tesla accident. It's a crazy preoccupation that society has with these cars, partly i think it's driven by the conventional automobile industry to help discredit Tesla. Stop looking...

Togg is correct about snow and ice. Historically fwd ICE cars were better on slippery roads because the weight of the car was concentrated where that heavy engine is, in front. Back in the day people kept heavy things in the trunk of rwd ICE cars to help with traction (like big sandbags)...

Here's my defense, a little different from other defenses. I have driven a model S for the last 3 years, it's an amazing vehicle. It has never been in the shop. I have spent about $60 on windshield wipers, that has been the maintenance cost for me. I'm about to buy (actually lease) a model...

Thanks everyone! I think I'm gonna wait. I might end up with a bit of a higher price, but the tech improves so quickly, maybe I'll get lucky on something (heated steering wheel anyone?) If I get a call at the end of June I'll bite, otherwise I'll wait and lease my next one in August or Sept...

The only thing that really bothers me is that window trim. The little paint blip will chip off, but who doesn't have a scratch on their new car within the first month? It hurts, but where I live it can't be avoided. Not sure how I'd react to receiving your car, but I'd probably complain and...

Thanks JohnB. A friend has a 3, I've driven it. A little bumpier, but smaller is better in the city, I'm good with the ride. I appreciate the advice about pricing. Anyone else care to chime in?

Background- I lease a model S currently, lease expires in August. Love the car, not going back to ICE. Next car will be a model 3 AWD, non-performance (live in Chicago, speed bumps and potholes prohibit a lower suspension). Do I bite before June 30 to get the extra rebate, or do I wait and...

My model S does this once in a while, although not in the last couple of months. I'll be driving around and it will show me as being off the street by a few feet, then sometimes it thinks I'm driving through back yards and occasionally into lake Michigan. It was really bad for a while, but...

I would go new 75D Don't underestimate the value of AWD in snow. Also, don't underestimate the subzero package. If you're doing any real winter driving it's fricking awesome. The heated steering wheel alone is worthwhile, but the wiper defrost and 5 heated seats really seal the deal there...

Another wrench- my refresh 60D shows 220 on the app but only 217 in the car. Doesn't mean a thing as far as I can tell!

My refresh 60D is a horse and buggy compared to a ludicrous 85 or 100 but still the uninitiated get a little queasy when I floor it. I always preface any hard acceleration with "hold on" but the raw grip of this car on the pavement is not something most people are used to. There's something...

I'm going to guess that Elon will redefine what he said about discounts. I would say that new AP2 cars will not be discounted unless they were loaners. Strictly inventory cars with AP1 will probably start getting discounted relatively soon and will go fast. No need to wait, they want to shake...

HA! I love the whining about the whine here. Keep in mind that relative to other cars this "whine" means your Tesla goes from silent to nearly silent. My wife calls my refresh 60D the Stealth Bomber. Compare it to any ICE vehicle and it's pretty damn quiet, with or without the front motor...

Similar boat for me, but I'm in Chicago. Got a 60D. Cold weather package a must. I like the pano, really enjoyable in spring and fall. Also useful going into the parking garage at my work because the automated transmitter won't work through the Tesla windshield. No premium. I miss the rear...

I'm lamenting the loss of album cover art on fm radio. I still listen to fm more than anything else. The old look was snazzy and cool, the new look is cheap. When is 9.0 going to be released? Can we start the countdown?

I got 8.0 today, and I'm not sure it adds much for me (non ap). Maybe a little more slick overall. Unfortunately I seem to have lost album cover art on regular fm stations. Anyone else notice this? I still get them on slacker, but on fm I just get generic station logos. :( I hope this...

I had to dump Farmers after they increased my rate dramatically for my S60 (250% increase in cost for a 30% increase in combined prices of 2 cars). Progressive and Geico were competitive. In the end I went with Amica based on price, reputation, and customer service. I think Geico would have...

I have had a refresh 60D for the last 4 weeks. I have a couple of opinions on this topic. First opinion - I had a loaner 85 because of some repairs Tesla wanted to do on undercarriage damage that occurred during shipping. I think the 85 was from about 2014. It was less responsive than my 60...

Did you try asking the local stores if they'd lend you a model x for a day? The old orchard store let me take a 36 hour test drive before I finalized the order for my model s. Not sure if they do the same for the x.

I'm no chemist (but I stayed at a holiday in express last night), but it would seem to me that the limit placed on a 60 which is a true 75 almost certainly is at the "top end", meaning charging to 100% is actually charging your battery to 80% and therefore would cause no degradation. The only...

That feature is great if your car can't run the a/c without you there, but really when my car internal temp is 104° I just run the a/c for 5 min from the app, maybe vent the roof, and it's cool when I get in. No need to open the windows from 20 feet away with the key fob like I could with my...

I understand your point about the need for reboot. I'm only 3 weeks in and needed a reboot due to screen lag. It worked, no problems since then. However, do you have any computers/smartphones in your life that do this much and don't require the occasional reboot? I certainly do not. The...

7, but the lease documents said 50. Whoohoo, 43 free miles!

There is no reason to be loyal to your insurance company if they are not loyal/faithful to you on pricing. I just dumped mine, saved money on the auto and home and umbrella. Went from farmers to amica, saving a lot of money. To quote my farmers agent "there's no status in overpaying"...

Not sure if the happiness guarantee is still around but I'll say it wasn't very comforting for me to know I could return the car for all my money back except that little matter of the $5k I put down. Seems like not that much of a guarantee if you ask me! Then again, I lease my cars so my...

I got hit with a 300% increase from farmers despite the fact that the total value of the cars I'm insuring only went up by about 30%. I've been hunting the last few days and I've settled on Amica, which (as far as I can tell) has some of the best ratings around. With my new policy I'll be...

I got my quote from farmers today, they want to jack my rate up to $2500/6 months from about $900. Progressive quote has me down to about $600. Goodbye farmers. In an email exchange with my agent he was totally cool. Just ordered his own 90D so he can completely empathize with me! I'm...

Got my new 60D yesterday with the new front console included. No need to order anything Pat. The only thing missing is rear seat drink holders and console. I ordered the evannex rcci today, looking forward to receiving it.

I don't know the exact numbers on the Tesla version of the Tesla service plan but my gut says that this is like extended warranties/service plans in general. If you believe in them and you are highly risk adverse them you should buy this plan. Personally I never buy extended warranties...
