    Tesla Model 3 LR AWD with FSD red color in Denver

    Helping to list my brothers mint condition Tesla Model 3 AWD LR with FSD in beautiful red color that is located in Denver, CO area Lakewood town.

    My first Model 3 rebuild.

    Awesome final price. Good to know that the replaceable crumple member is long on Tesla M3. Are you keeping her, or selling?

    My first Model 3 rebuild.

    Well done. Did you use a donor car, or sourced parts from somewhere else? Can you supercharge? How involving was a rebuild? How much did it cost? It appears that frame needed to be pulled.

    The Volt is dead, long live the Volt!

    I like my Gen II Volt, but a lot to be said about chevy not capitalizing on awesome Volt's drive train in an SUV and or truck. The dual planetary gear transmission is a piece of engineering art and can handle lots of torque, something SUV and or truck can use. Sad to see it go, hopefully...

    OpenEVSE - coupon?

    I have had one for the last 4 years and I give it 5 stars. By far the best charger on the market. LCD displays charge current, total kwhr charged per session, lifetime consumption. One can change scheduling, current limit, and many other things. The engineer behind OpenEVSE open-sourced the...

    Autopilot trial popup - very intrusive

    Well - my wife had our newborn strapped in going to get her 1st sets of shots done. Lets just say she was not in the mood of reading and making decisions. She does not know what autopilot is. So clicking once NO should be enough to get back the normal screen and to drive.

    Autopilot trial popup - very intrusive

    My wife yesterday said she had this pop-up that would not let her drive her TM3. She was ready to drive and this big window popped up asking to "enable something". She clicked small "No Thank You" twice and it still would not go away and not let her drive. So she clicked yes and enabled...

    Glad to see that motorcyclist is not injured, and kudos for wearing gear. When I used to ride on two wheesl, I was very defensive, but I stopped because cagers always win...

    USB corruption for dashcam recording

    That sounds like a plan :) I reformatted mine twice - it worked for a bit and then stopped. Checked the recorded footage and it looks good. Tesla needs a little UI where it can fix disk, format dist, check recorded footage, create recording folder, etc...

    Realistic Timeline for 35k base Model 3

    And it is easy to see a person who does not understand the cost of configuration management :). Configuration management cost quite a bit of money, and complicates the production. Having stripped $35K version for the Tesla will cost a lot of money to setup. No - I do not see Tesla making $35K...

    Am I the only one with a (nearly) flawless overall experience??

    Had flawless experience as well. Drove in 1pm Saturday afternoon, the delivery center was empty 1 week after 3rd quarter rush. My TM3 AWD was flawless. Took no rush delivery. Only wished that the Marina Del Rey delivery center had the guy who could operate that fancy coffee machine there. 600...

    Driver door takes extra effort to close?

    Had the same issue with drive door. I adjusted the frame door striker myself and it is fixed (better than the other doors). Mark the current striker position with chalk so you can always get back to original configuration. Loosen up the two torx bolts. Grab a notebook and start adjusting...

    Is P3D delivery really within 2 months?

    I will say you get any Tesla you want before New Year. Reason being - was picking up my M3 at Los Angeles Marina Del Rey location 1pm this Saturday (10/6) and the place was empty. I was only seeing two/three other people picking up their M3s. It was no rush pickup. I waited <3 months for my...

    Ordered and reserved 7/13/18. Came in less than 3 months. The Marina Del Rey delivery center was not busy today at 1pm. The car is flawless with no rattles.

    Free Supercharging for 1 year even for RWD

    Agreed. I pull in to EVGo CCS station ~6months ago running on fumes on my Spark EV. EVGo offers free charging for BMW i3s, Nissan Leafs, and some others for the first 3 years. Most EVGo stall have single station. And at that single EVGo station there is a guy charging and sleeping in his i3. I...

    How does one properly inspect paint and body panels with no good light? 300/day (or weekend) is crazy volume. That's like 20 cars/hour.

    How do you guys feel on the Model 3 being really popular

    The more the better - Tesla is forcing other automakers to innovate and offer better solutions. Tesla been eating German B/M/P lunches for some time. The more electric cars on the road the more electric infrastructure will evolve. CCS fast chargers right now are a joke in Los Angeles when...

    Thanks for the info. I let my brother know to become more proactive and start calling Tesla. I also send him to the teslamotorsclub.com link. Lots of good info. I believe this weekend he is installing NEMA 14-50 in his garage.

    From 340xi to Tesla dual motor Model 3 - mini comparo.

    Nice combo - I am the same minus the white interior, coming soon. Great price... Glad to hear the handling is better than the BMW. That was not an easy thing to pull off for a heavier car. Although on paper few BMWs are close or the same as Tesla M3 AWD - on average Tesla M3 will be driven...

    AWD delivery thread

    Makes sense in your case; in my case I am doing 50/50 with cash / credit union who do need a VIN. This email came to me as a surprise. One thing that worries me is that if I get home delivery, and the car is not acceptable, then I would feel bad for rejecting the delivery... Tesla must be...

    I got the same email, but I do not even have a VIN yet How can my car be delivered to my home without a VIN number?

    AWD delivery thread

    That makes sense. I frankly could wait to take my M3 AWD delivery longer - have 2015 Spark EV that I really enjoy and I am keeping it... My brother will happen to be in town when I take delivery - so at least he will experience the M3 awd for a short time before he goes back to waiting. I have...

    My AWD blue M3 no EAP Los Angeles delivery is coming up in 2 weeks, could have received mine next week. Both my brother and I configured same day in July 2018, same config. The only difference is my brother lives in Chicago area, and his color is Red. My brother has not even received...

    Totalled my S today....so I confirmed my Model 3 First Production order

    Glad to hear you OK. That was a very scary accident. I take bouquet canyon road all the time, but it is a very dangerous road. Seen a dead motorcyclist there, drove up ~2 min after accident. According to EMT I talked to, most deaths is SoCal occur on bouquet canyon road. The section your...

    Chevy Bolt First Impressions

    My family currently owns both 2016 Chevy Volt and 2015 Spark EV. I test drove Bolt premier at AutoNation Chevrolet in Valencia CA - they have ~6 available in stock at this time. Controls are different and better than Spark EV and Volt. Energy displays are nicely done. Speed wise, my Spark EV...

    Chevy Bolt - 200 mile range for $30k base price (after incentive)

    That's only 0.7C charge rate assuming 64kwhr Bolt battery size. Not good. My 2015 Spark EV with 19kwhr battery can match that. Hopefully the limitation is with the EVGo DCFC charger that is mediocre equipment. Unfortunately 80kw or better SAE Combo DCFC chargers are like unicorn - none to be...

    Chevy Bolt - 200 mile range for $30k base price (after incentive)

    Very nice. I see you blog on both sites :D. If you have Costco membership - throw it in and see what happens. Chevy's usually have a lot of wiggle room on price. Will be waiting for a good write up on how she's driving, and if you can find 80kw or larger DC charging station while at it - it...

    Chevy Bolt - 200 mile range for $30k base price (after incentive)

    Definitely not a McLaren :). But it is a very fun to drive car with 327 ft-lb torque at 2800lb. Spark EV has some cuteness to it; Bolt looks like utilitarian EV vehicle designed purely by engineers. After I done with the Spark EV I plan re-using its battery for my home made battery project...

    Chevy Bolt - 200 mile range for $30k base price (after incentive)

    I have two Chevy EVs in my stable - 2016 Volt (wife's) and 2015 Spark EV and bolt have been trouble free and I have not experienced any battery degradation. Chevy has been mass producing EVs since 2010 (not counting EV1) and Chevy has not needed to be mass-replacing drive trains or batteries on...
