    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    Good! headed that way tomorrow and was going to verify then. It’s even gone from Tesla’s list of locations...a quick google search shows that maybe they mixed it up with an upcoming Greenville, CA charger.

    Me too! I live here so I hope it’s just an error and it didn’t go away unannounced.

    ISA Communications / Scheduled Deliveries

    *UPDATE* - ISA just called, delivery appoint is now this coming Tuesday 4/10! What a pleasant surprise after just having come to terms with a 4/23 or later delivery!!

    ISA Communications / Scheduled Deliveries

    Got the call from my ISA today after getting VIN on Thurs. It was really just to confirm financials and registration details. Car is starting transport and the estimate he provided was for delivery on the week of April 23rd. Even for being in South Carolina, that seems long...maybe I'm wrong...

    Overnight VIN-ification!! 1156X MSM,Aero,East Coast, 2/19 config. Looks like Tesla is starting to look past the end of Q1 now.

    2/22 Configurators

    Both of you and RUNSILNT are lucky (or just normal, and I'm the Unlucky oddball)... Still waiting for that VIN from a 2/19 config... I was teaching a student yesterday and he reminded me of a saying as we were wrapping up and I was complaining about my lack of VIN while refreshing my Tesla...

    2/22 Configurators

    No kidding! I'm in the 2/14 invite batch, and I also configured on 2/19. At this point, I'd love to just have a VIN and be told it'll be 2 weeks for delivery rather than this undefined waiting period. Let's get a move on!!! (Side note: My sister lives in Reston, maybe someday we'll drive by...

    VIN Assignment

    I’m a 2/19 config, 5 weeks to the day now and no VIN. Those of us in the pre-2/22 batches with no VIN should create a support group for each other! Yesterday I think I read on Facebook someone who had configured 1/28 and still didn’t have a VIN...someone’s always got it worse!

    5YJSA looks SORT OF like Tesla if you are really drunk and you squint really hard! It's great knowing that Tesla has been assigning VIN's over the weekend. Still waiting.....

    VIN Assignment

    I'm right there with you, albeit a few days behind. Invite 2/14, config 2/19, Midnight Silver w/Aero. No VIN yet...pushing 5 weeks and it seems you're out of the 6 week window. Have you tried calling? Seems a little excessive As Pikachu said, It seems like California is getting a big push to...

    Where are the Midnight Silvers at?

    I'm starting to think I should try to give Tesla a call. 4 weeks and 3 days since 2/19 config, no VIN yet. *Edit/Update* I called and, while the person didn't/couldn't reveal much, he at least confirmed everything is in order on my end. He did forward my information to the OA that will be...

    Where are the Midnight Silvers at?

    I'm SO glad to see this thread. South Carolina previous owner, invite on 2/14, config on 2/19, Midnight Silver + Aero. No VIN at all yet.... I for sure thought I would have the car by end of Q1 as it's almost 6 weeks to the day from when I config'd....not so sure now. Let's all continue to...

    Waiting for DC-DC converter

    I had raised an executive escalation on waiting for the DC-DC, and a few days later it arrived in Charlotte (not sure if there was a correlation). Got it put in in early Feb. The repair only took a day, but we had to get a loaner b/c we couldn't hang out for the day. I came back after 3 days or...

    The new Workplace Charging initiative

    So, I work at a university with a very large and active Sustainability program that I have collaborated with a number of times. I pitched this program to them this morning and their question back to me was indeed if Tesla covers the install costs or not. It doesn't quite say it clearly...

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    Update: Got my invite last Wednesday evening. Certainly wasn't expecting it, so didn't have my numbers together. Took a few days to get everything in motion, and placed my Order Payment last night!

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    Tesla is clearly toying with me. I get bumped back a week ago (see above), and today I got my config email!

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    I was updated as well: 1st prod: Aug-Oct 2018 Standard: Early 2019 Dual Motor: Late 2018 I was May-Jul, Mid-2018, Late 2018 respectively. This brings forward an option I wasn't considering up until now.... getting the Long Range STANDARD interior (if it becomes available) in Fall 2018. 44k...

    Free Tesla Mobile @ home door handle replacement

    So my door handle is broken as well (rear driver's side...don't presenting or responding to pressure once pulled). My SC just quoted me at $600 for repair and $100 for Mobile Service visit (I'm 2 hours one-way from the nearest SC). Seems on the cheap side from what I've read from the multiple...

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    Just a few days ago I received an email with this line: "You can view your Model 3 reservation in your MyTesla account, and you will have priority but no update on an estimate delivery date or invite for configuration of your vehicle." So, after 2 emails to Customer Support after an...

    Waiting for DC-DC converter

    I hope this is the right place to post, mods can feel free to move to another thread if necessary. In early December, a visit to the Charlotte SC revealed that my DC-DC converter needs replacing (A/C and heat are minimally functional) on my 2013 85. . They ordered the part (Gen 1 parts not in...

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    Adding to the body of knowledge here, I wrote Service via my Tesla account (in addition to writing Reservations and getting a call from them...see post from earlier) and got this email just now: “Thank you for your email. I have taken the info you provided and passed it along to the proper team...

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    I reserved my 3 on 8/6/16, just bought a private party Model S earlier this month (12/7 off the top of my head....). I've been following this thread, and wrote [email protected] and also wrote via my Tesla Account on 12/23 inquiring about any kind of a bump in the line given my newly minted...

    Supercharger - Orlando, FL - West Sand Lake Road

    C'mon OUC! Orlando is my hometown and I'm coming down for the holidays. I'd love to use this when taking the fam to Harry Potter World. Either way, I'll definitely be peeking in around 12/28!

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    Hey everyone, Thanks for all of the discussion, and sorry I went AWOL for a bit...been trying to wrap up the semester here. So, I ended up buying the S! It was in fantastic condition for 79k miles, had all maintenance records kept meticulously, and my daily commute is so short (6mi. round...

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    All good points. I'm going to look at the car in two hours or so, I'll report back and share what I find out! For those that are curious, I've cropped the Monroney Sticker to only show options. Reminder, sale price for this 2013 S85 is currently 35K. Odd build for sure.... I should also...

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    That is definitely on my list of questions.... I'm almost positive it doesn't have tech (I'd post the Maroney Sticker, but I'd like to protect the seller's confidentiality). In 2013 models, Tech is always listed right? This one isn't and each option is listed separately.

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    I've not considered a fiat 500e, but I have looked at used 2014 Leaf's for 3k outright.....but it's not a Tesla. :P
  33. O

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    They're literally about to! It starts to overheat if I idle too long, the rear passenger door handles have broken off, and the trunk door hydraulics don't work.
  34. O

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    All good points. At this moment, I'm not sure if I even look at it as getting a model 3 sooner, more like "not as delayed!". It's ok, as I'm in no hurry. I'm certainly not flush with cash, (funds are all in a special M3 savings account at the moment, not investments), but I really need to get...

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    This is all very interesting and I'll be watching. I've got my finger on the trigger for a 2013 S85 being sold locally here that I would get solely for the reason of receiving priority for my M3 then trading the S in once it arrives (It's a base model, high mileage,no tech package, etc...but a...

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    Thank you! My depreciation assumption felt low too, but I was going off of a mix of this recent graph and KBB (I think?) saying the car would depreciate ~$5600 over the next five years. I know linear extrapolation rarely applies to real life, but I took that amount and estimated from there.

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    Ah yes, I feel like I read that too....I shall search!

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    A couple of things I forgot to mention: - S has a clean carfax, one owner, was a corporate car hence the high mileage. - I may or may not be driving to look at the car today. :P

    Specific scenario to buy used MS to get M3 sooner?

    Hello! I know this topic has been beat to death on numerous forums, so please forgive me positing one specific scenario... I've been more than happy to wait as long as I need for my model 3 config to arrive (won't be until August at best I'd bet). However, a local 2013 Model S85 with 88k miles...

    Model 3 logo shirt for sale

    Mods: sorry if this is in the wrong group. I can put this in the "parts for sale" section, it just didn't feel like a "part" to me. :) I bought a Medium Asphalt Model 3 logo shirt from the model 3 owners club store and, despite being a super comfortable shirt as advertised, it's just a touch...

    Getting a Tesla fix while waiting for M3

    Based on this one experience I highly recommend Turo (it's like AirBnB for car rentals). However, I'm sure that like AirBnB, one's experience can vary greatly when compared to a standard rental company. However, if you find yourself in Vegas, Brittney's P85 is the way to go!! There also was an...

    Getting a Tesla fix while waiting for M3

    Hi! I just wanted to relay a fantastic experience I had earlier this week. I was in Vegas for 3 days and rented an S P85 via Turo for $114/day (much better than Hertz's $400/day!!). One day, I made the drive out to Lake Meade, through the Valley of Fire, with plenty of juice left to get to the...

    2014 S60 in Upstate of So Carolina

    Beautiful and tempting, but I would hate to insult this car with a low ball offer. Let me know when you bring your X by Greenville so I can say I've seen one in the wild!

    CPO MS: Planning for delayed delivery of M3

    Good point, my thought is on the heels of Elon's recent post about the depreciation value of Tesla's. I need to find it again....perhaps the depreciation of AP1 vs. AP2 is comparable to non-AP 2013's right now? Two things also, the 2-year lease program ended this past Monday :( Also, you don't...

    CPO MS: Planning for delayed delivery of M3

    Variation on a topic that has been discussed here before (read: getting impatient): Come mid-2017, any thoughts on pricing estimates for basic 2014 CPO S60's with AP? Conceivably we'll see some as leases run out, right? I'm considering getting one next year with 20-25k down to hold me over...

    [Poll] - Who bought or will buy Model S/X 60 kwh instead of waiting?

    Variation on a theme: Assuming we'll see some 2014 CPO Model S's with Autopilot in about a year or so, would you more strongly consider a CPO Model S60 w/AP vs. Model 3? Disclosure: I am considering exactly this...I wonder what the starting price in 2017 for a lower end 2014 CPO Model S60 with...
