It will be going to Columbus. Any experiences there?

Well the deer ran off, when I was going outside to inspect its rack for mounting and haunches for jerky... The Tesla service appointment leaves a lot to be desired, as I could not really determine if I needed to send it there or straight to a body shop. Guess the Tesla service center is going...

Hit a deer this morning, shattered front window, damaged front sensor block with rear view mirror. (Dash Cam if you want to see, starting at 30 seconds) 2019-08-22_06-59-34-front.mp4 2019-08-22_06-59-34-left_repeater.mp4 (applied brake as soon as i saw it.. which was probably not as soon as he...

It has nearly taken me into a tractor, as it didn't like that I was going off the road with one side on a smaller country road to avoid the plow. It turns on every day at the same spot in the road where the lane widens for a turn on my route home. It jar's passengers with its shrill. Do not...

I drive more than 50 miles on my commute one way... so that is not working. This was working last week, I have not installed software since that point.

But what about not using a route? I dont use a route to drive to work daily, but the map most of the time is not zoomed enough to even show the road I am driving on. There is not point to the map if it is not going to scale at all.

Just recently my maps has not been dynamically updating to show a closer portion of map to where I am driving. As such, it is too zoomed out so that my car is driving in parts of the map without road. Prior it would zoom to those locations to show my car on the road based on how much stuff...

Just recently my maps has not been dynamically updating to show a closer portion of map to where I am driving. As such, it is too zoomed out so that my car is driving in parts of the map without road. Prior it would zoom to those locations. Additionally, it causes me to have to zoom in a lot...

Car now has loud thunks while super charging or charging at home when it is cold. Have not experienced until just recently. Was sitting in car reading news and sound went off. Felt it in the car frame. It seems disconcerting, since the car actually does tremor.

Does that work with the Model 3? The lift points are different, and seem to be close to being flush with battery.

Any persons using Discount Tire or other nationwide tire dealer in an area that is mostly Tesla free? Would they have the proper jack point tool? There is very few Teslas in the two county region around my home, so trying to gauge whether local Discount Tire, Firestone, Tireman, etc will be able...

And then they 'bake in the sun' with hundreds to thousands of other inventory! ;)

Do you plan on having Tesla Service replace the tires? I was going to try local tire place to get rotations, at some point. There are many options in area, from national chains to mom & pop stores. Speaking of tires, is there a 50000 mile rated tire that meets or exceeds fuel economy rating of...

That specific qualifier was not listed in what I heard, only in the article. He announced it at a union event, so that little inclusion would rally the attendance. I do not think it will happen to begin with, but will have even less chance keeping it as a union exclusive.

Brown introduces bill to credit buyers of U.S. assembled vehicles An alternative tax refund, which just proposed, so not even close to passing, which would benefit Tesla as they currently are.

Man, I thought I drive a lot... Just over 2500 today, with a month of possession coming on the 12th, but I had the TDI for a bit and drove the crap out of that until VW bought it back on July 30th. Since then nothing but model 3. How is tire rotations? Did you guys get them at recommended...

In my opinion, the well known people who trolled this guy (e.g. Montana Skeptic) should be removed from Twitter, and should have his seeking alpha account rescinded. He clearly has no shame on this matter. Should be real world consequences to those, on all sides, who troll like this because...

Just got this version. It does have wifi.

And production is... 10x higher than when they started batch invites? Late November is when non-employees started getting invited... didnt reach 1k until extrapolated at end of December and when they started inviting employees, were doing like 100 a month.

If those cars are ordered, all my pondering about bringing in the 35k version soon was all for nothing!

Looking for some input for third party applications that can measure things like battery degradation, expected vs actual range, and other statistical data. Off hand I do not know know of any by name. I know of them, but that does not help when trying to find a reputable one.

Registered VINs is a poor indicator of actual production. It is an indicator, just not a reliable one.

Did the author or Wall Street Journal post a review of the RWD LR Model 3 prior?

Not a line waiter and I got the 'toy car'. Would call it more of a display model since it came in a clear case...

The real influx of pictures of production Model 3s seems to be everyone's profile pictures now. Just looking through posts, everyone has their new car prominently displayed. Every thread is a pictures of model 3 thread!

I think the opposite here in that the first thing to go is the PUP. They make more money on the battery than PUP and more people want the battery to be larger. Increase production of the lower trim level while keeping margins higher while wading through a mini production ramp up. I would have...

I am not sold on the strong demand part for the fully loaded versions. I worry that may be the Achilles heel of Tesla presently. I am not looking for a base model myself. I already have my 3, paid for by VW. But just pondering away at the companies future because I am now deeply vested in it.

Looking to start a conversation on whether the current production models, being the Model 3 with larger battery and upgraded trim, the Performance version, and the AWD drive of the larger battery/trim variant, are receiving enough demand to push back the introduction of the base 35k model. I am...

Once again, the AutoLine guy is the one who is super negative. Sandy is impressed, and overwhelms the other gentleman's preconceived notions, with positive stuff.

So do not post that on public forums? I will make sure I never do that. :)

There is really nothing I can do to force get that update, right? There used to be a service center truck, since outdated.

I have 2018.21.9 and clicking the LTE does nothing.

It is a low use Supercharger (density of Tesla's in area is super low.... I would guess under 100 in the 3 county area) so could be a reason not updated yet.

I do have account set up properly.

Yes I cannot even get WiFi menu to come up, perhaps my firmware is in need of updating... The fluid light, correct? Known firmware bug. Also the brake light is in that bug.

I had thought that to be an unsubstantiated rumor. But if true, that is fine with me. Another positive surprise.

My understanding was that the Model 3 receives no free supercharging, whether that be in the form of kwH credit or free visits, etc. As I presently cannot charge at my own home (my 15 amp outlets are not grounded, and I do not yet have a 30 amp hookup in garage until Thursday) my only recourse...

Possibly because I'm mobile, but that link doesn't work.

They gave me the option. It's not ideal, but I drive a lot, would rather not have that as a possible ticket.

I do. My light comes on when I first depress the brake, and goes off several minutes later. Wiper fluid is full. Picked up from service center on July 12th. Did you get it resolved?

Home is not my 'forever home', it is a starter. And as such, it only has 100 amp service . 50 amps to the car is too high, plus 30amps covers daily commute easily. Most RV outlets are not the same, curved 30 amp or similar to 10-30 but different pins. For whatever reason, they are strewn...

Perhaps I am just really bad at searching for 14-30rs, but the Amazon and Google results are completely full of RV wires and outlets. I am looking for an industrial grade 14-30r, preferably Amaonz Prime so I can get it quickly. I have only seen brand and type suggestions from Tesla for 50amp...

Will add my car :) up to this point I had only seen four model 3s total. Saw 20+ at Columbus delivery/service center when getting mine.

Loan information available at delivery then? For those financing through Tesla.

Ideally, you see your car's twin everywhere...

How were you informed that your delivery was delayed? What reason(s) given?

No concern on larger wire other than price and compatibility from both the breaker and the outlet with larger wire. Will inquire with electrician when getting estimate.

Any reason to use 8awg on a 30amp circuit? I know Tesla recommends 10awg for up to 100 ft, but I was going to ask for 8awg until reading their recommendation of 10. https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/installation-guides/NEMA_10-30_installation_guide_NA_US_2017.pdf...

As did mine.

What is the VIN?
