I will be purchasing a new Model Y in Q4 or Q1. I can purchase it in Florida, or I can have my wife purchase it in Georgia. Has anyone already compared the up-front vs ongoing cost differences of purchasing in Florida vs Georgia? For example, I know Georgia dings EV owners ~$200/yr and I know...

This wheel set was driven home at delivery and never used again. (Tires have been put on another Model 3 so are not part of this sale.) All four wheels are pristine. Local pickup only in the Atlanta metro area; I'm too lazy to figure out how to ship these and be confident they won't get damaged...

I love 99% of Elon, but it is things like this which boggle my mind. He tweets that on July 1 black paint will no longer be included, yet here we are July 1 and black paint is still included. I guess his tweet was just a final attempt at a Q2 demand lever, and sometime in the next few days he'll...

Just pulled the trigger on a Model Y (fully refundable) reservation. I had intended to wait, seeing no incentive to lend Tesla money for two years. But Elon indicating that FSD pricing will rise May 1 was enough to get me to hand over my fully refundable $2500 ahead of the investor day to reveal...

How long will the $35k Model 3 be available in the USA, before raising the price, having honored the 2016 commitment to sell a $35k 220mile Model 3?

16k miles, 5mm tread remaining all the way around (impressive/surprising), so 50% of original useful life has been put onto the asphalt so far. I run them at 44psi in summer, 47psi lately after SC cranked them higher I guess in prep for 'winter' temps in Atlanta. Implies a ~32k life for these...

There's currently only about 7-8 weeks of production backlog, according to @Troy's awesome workbook. Troy has educated me that the production backlog replaces itself at about half the rate that it exhausts itself. So in 8 weeks, Tesla will have 4 weeks of production backlog. In 12 weeks, it will...

Visited the Atlanta (Decatur) SC this morning. The lot had over 100 Model 3s awaiting delivery (I stopped counting at 100, but there weren't too many more than that). None were AWD per an employee I spoke to. Another employee said the number of cars was down about 50 from where it stood when...

Just got back from an ATL-Orlando-JAX-ATL trip. Home charging, plus supercharging, added up to $25 of cost. Used destination charging (no cost) in JAX. Cruising around the Southeast for 2.5 cents/mi is just a crazy good thing. In my former ICE vehicle, this trip would have cost $110 in gasoline...

By chance has anyone come across a (presumably soft-sided) cooler that fits well in the cavernous space below the Model 3 armrest? I want to make use of this space, and having some cold bottled water en route, or when in Camper Mode, seems like a worthy contender. Help?

Here are my summary impressions after 5,000 miles... - Road noise is my sole meaningful negative. I hope that Tesla will add some dampening around the wheel wells in future production, at least in the LR version of Model 3 since it is designed for long-haul driving. I'd pay for a retrofit. I am...

It's presumably not in the glove box. It's presumably not hiding behind the wood trim piece. I don't see any telling ridges or "SRS" logo in the dash above the wood trim piece. Where oh where is the front passenger airbag?

Have been driving Model 3 for a month. Love it. Today I hopped in my 2012 LEAF, had forgotten the key fob so doubled back into the house to grab it, then popped it into Drive, and then realized that I had to turn the car on first if I actually wanted to go somewhere. Yesterday I drove my wife's...

I did not buy the Tesla Model 3 kit for this (sold out); I bought the Model S version which are the same size but do not come with a removal tool. Ideas for how to remove them so I can install the Aero wheel covers for road trips? Thanks.

One very minor feature, which I've not heard mentioned elsewhere, is that the storage compartments in each door below the armrest are very subtly lit at night. I suspect it was done to enable me to see what's in these spaces at night, but the reality is that it just provides an exceptionally...

OK team, Need advice. Our Model 3 should arrive late in March. We do not own a Tesla, and have owned a LEAF for the past 6.25 years (my daily driver...wife drives it sporadically...range anxiety). I already know that I will love Model 3; my concern is how best to ensure that my wife embraces...

On the last earnings call, Tesla made it clear they are prioritizing highest margin configurations. We focused on that meaning SR would be pushed back (and that once D is available, First Prod likely gets pushed behind LRD+PUP). But in the same spirit, why would Tesla currently paint any Model...

It's been 18 days and counting since the last batch of invites went out (Jan 24), and that batch was the smallest of the three (per the spreadsheet respondents). The time between invite batches has 'never' been this long before. No one else here finds this fact pattern newsworthy/disturbing...

This past weekend I had a chance to sit in the right front seat of a Model 3 for the first time, for about five minutes. One thing that I really, really ended up liking and did not think that I would after reading all the posts about it, is the wood trim. What struck me first is that it is wider...

I'm wondering about the long-term effects of electric motor 'whine' on the human ear. I've driven a LEAF daily for 6.5 years, and will add a Tesla imminently. I'm now 46, and have noticed hearing loss the past few years particularly in crowded places (can't discern your voice from the background...

So I plan to get silver, but note that it is the least popular color. My thinking (your thoughts?)... - No white or black...I've had those on other cars so find them boring, and in the case of black...too much rock chip road rash. - Red and Blue...I'm concerned will fade. I keep cars FOREVER. I...

I'd like to see RECENT images of M3 in the wild without the Aero covers on the wheels. Anyone stumble across any that they can link to? The reason recency is important to me is that I don't trust the images from early vehicles...it strikes me as too good to be true that Tesla would sell the base...
