For future reference to those that may experience, this, I contacted Tesla and they said they said the issue is with a corrupted database and they can fix it over the air. But I'm still waiting.

Last week, all of a sudden, my navigation history, Home, Work, Favorites all disappeared! There have been no changes or firmware updates since 2020.4.1 from Jan 2020. I reentered some info in. And then a few hours later, it disappeared again. I've done multiple resets, but all the history...

This past Wednesday, all of a sudden, my Model 3 keeps saying "stopped charging" at the Supercharger. I tried another spot. It said the same thing. Then I tried different locations on different days. They all immediately say, "stopped charging." It doesn't given give me an iota of charge. It...

Wahoo! This is the first I've heard of a MR delivery date for Atlanta. I ordered blue, white seats, EAP, on 11/1/2018 and am hoping it'll get here before year end.

Not sure if this has been answered. Does anyone know if the Georgia Power $250 rebate for home chargers is good for the Tesla home charger? Also, on the form it says "single family homes." Can it also apply to townhomes?

So I just lost my job. I think I'll need to be conservative with my finances now and won't be splurging. Is there any way to get that $3,500 back? $1,000 from my deposit on 3/31/16 and the $2,500 order on 6/28/18.

Any pics of white on white with chrome delete? Is that enough contrast?

So now that white interior is available for AWD non-P, there will be a LOT more people interested. Black goes with pretty much anything. But I'm not sure about white. There is the typical white interior with red exterior that had been pushed out as test drive vehicles across the nation. I...

Easy solution. Then just stop wearing blue jeans and wear khakis instead. No need to be addicted to blue jeans. PLENTY of other options.

Yikes! That's a whopper. I was hoping to get taxed on the base LR PUP, without AWD, EAP, FSD. Ugh!

But that's for the upgraded $5k option, correct?

I was wondering if anyone in Georgia knows the tax rate for the Model 3. I know it's 7%, but it's based off of a registry, right? But what will it get taxed on? I've put on order a fully loaded AWD Model 3, which comes out to $63,500. Will it be 7% on the rear wheel without EAP/FSD?

Oh! So you originally ordered AWD with a Sept-Nov timeframe and at the time, could've gotten a P with an Aug-Oct timeframe? Then you switched your order from AWD to P and that original Aug-Oct was no longer valid and instead, it shows Sept-Nov for you? In my configuration, when I edit, it...

Hahahaha! Yes. Exactly! Our rational side vs. our emotional side. I'm trying to find a way to rationalize a way to change my order to a P. But I know when I rationalize too much, all I get are rational lies!

It is fast enough. I've been driving a Nissan Leaf for the last 4 years. But I REALLY want the white seats. And I don't see those deliveries happening for the rear wheel nor AWD until next year. =( Yes. I could get the Tsportsline white seats for about $2k extra. But I thought, why not...

So I got a fully-loaded AWD with upgraded tires, EAP, and FSD with delivery date Sept-Nov. That comes out to $63,500. I am debating about changing my order to AWD P, white interior, without the performance package and just EAP without FSD. That comes out to $71,500. With that, I may be...

Day 1 reservation. Non-owner. Email for config April 2018. I ordered the P on 6/27. Then switched it to AWD (non P) on 6/29. I now have the MVPA. But still have the edit button.

Ugh. Hadn't considered that too much. Do people know the % difference for insurance between the non-P and P version of the Model S? I guess our best sample size will be from California. So annually, like $1500 vs $2500? What are we looking at here?

So if Tesla has already hit 200,000 in June, will you switch to the P version? AWD earliest delivery date is Sept. AWD-P earliest delivery date is August. So the chances are a lot better for the full tax credit for AWD-P. Then, the price difference between the two will be $3,750 less!

You guys are all assuming that it'll stay at $100/yr. At $100, it's not too bad, but Tesla could EASILY jack up the price. This has already happened with other scenarios. Supercharging... at first free, then a nominal fee, then a significant jump in price. Autopilot. At first it was $1,500...

Or you can get a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. It's not a Tesla, but has a lot of what you're looking for. Plenty of room, ground clearance, and can use gasoline when going on long trips.... All for less than 40k.

Agreed. The specs on the Clarity PHEV are great. But the rear is HORRENDOUS. Ugh!

It's more of the monthly payment. It'll be $800 to $900 a month, plus the additional insurance, so it'll come out to a little more than $1,000 a month. In the Atlanta area, one can easily find property where it's a 3 or 4 bedroom and for it to be priced around $150k - $200k. Spread out over 30...

So I put my deposit down on 3/31/16. I've been anxiously awaiting for this car and love it. But the price just keeps going up and up. I really want white seats, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen until Q3 or Q4. (non performance). So it looks like I'm going to easily spend $50k+ for...

In human resources, specifically in compensation, for a large consulting company. It's a possible STEM field b/c of the heavy use of math. But I'm categorizing myself as non-STEM.

Wahoo! Nice to see them showing up outside of the West Coast!

Any news on cream / white interior yet? At first, it was supposed to be available in the late fall and I wonder if anyone has heard any updates.

That 90% figure is totally misleading. In the EASIEST of situations (highway with no stop-go traffic), it can do 90%. But in the real world, it's less than 50% b/c the best use of AP1 is in rush hour, stop and go traffic, which the Honda is useless.

Agreed. The Model S depreciates little. For the Volt though, let's say you get a Volt LT for $30,000 out the door. After 1 year and 10,000 miles, it depreciates 25%. That's just for 1 year... not the 50k miles that's in the Autolist report. 25% depreciation on a $30k volt = $7,500 = the...

So @McRat , you think getting a new Volt with the fed rebate and selling it 6-12 months later, one wouldn't lose too much money? If that's the case, then it would give us an idea to wait out for the Model 3 D.

Argh, all you lucky CARB state people. I'm in Atlanta. So I can't get those crazy leases. That's why I'm looking at buying a Volt to hold me over. It's either a used Volt or a new Volt with the hopes that the $7,500 rebate will knock off the 1st year depreciation. The high inventory will allow...

I'm in the same boat as you... but if you order an S now, there's a good chance you won't get delivery before 1/1/18. 10% of S line resources are going to the 3 line and so the delivery timeframe will be pushed back for the S. It's way too much of a risk and so I would wait until the refresh...

That's exactly what I was thinking.... but a 20% depreciation is less in absolute cost for a Volt than a Bolt. But you get the same $7500 rebate. That means it helps more of the depreciation with the Volt than a Bolt. Also, I think the Volt will probably depreciate less because of the ICE...

I did a check on KBB for a used 2017 Volt LT with no options and 8,000 miles. It's $22k.

The idea is to get a car where I am losing nothing or very little. Buying a used Leaf or Volt, and then reselling that would cause me to lose several thousand dollars. Buying the cheapest brand new Volt with taxes and registration, I think I can get for around $30k. After federal rebate, it's...

So this past week, we have seen a ton of bad news. Not all unexpected, but more concrete details of what we were expecting. - Delay of the Model 3 - The $7500 rebate disappearing from 2018 onward - Thought about breaking the bank and rush ordering the S75D, but there's no guarantee that it...

Errgggh! Thanks for the quick replies everyone. I hope this is helpful for others. I was hoping for us to use it for 2017 because those in the same boat will have put down $3,500 already. $1,000 for preorder. $2,500 to start the official process.

Hey everyone, Quick question here. My M3 is set to be delivered on Jan 2018. That means, I'll most likely put in the order Q4 2017. Does that mean I will qualify on my taxes, for the rebate for fiscal year 2017 or will it be 2018? That difference of 1-2 months means a difference of 1 year...

Not sure if this will be allowed. Think of all the people that use superchargers regularly that have free, lifetime access to superchargers. Those people will then charge up on a supercharger, then take that car home and power their homes. This can lead to abuse on a massive scale.

But we also have to remember that when Tesla's 7500 credit runs out, the other automakers will have it. Primarily, I'm thinking of the competition from the VW group. They will have a 7500 advantage that Tesla needs to overcome somehow. Tesla's one of the best offerings at 35k now and absolutely...

Hahahaha! That was awesome. But thanks for crushing my spirit just a little bit. I'm sure all of us are looking for ways to get the 3 faster.

From my perspective, it's a non-California resident. So there is no way they will get the federal rebate for the base 3. BUT, people will be able to get the full federal rebate for the new Leaf. This is especially people who have not reserved and want instant gratification. For these...

I was thinking that paying for all that stuff, I could advance in the queue. I understand it's all software. Person #1. $49k car with no EAP/FSP. Person #2. $60k+ car with EAP/FSP. Production wise, there's no difference. And so wouldn't Tesla move person #2 up higher in the queue b/c they can...

Hi all. I know that the M3 LR with PUP for $49k is the first run. But I was wondering if I add the EAP and FSD and everything else, will I get the car faster? To add every single available option will put it around $60k. And if I do that, I was wondering if I could get it 1 or 2 months...

Come on people. I am as eagerly waiting for my Model 3 as others, but be a little informed before knocking off other cars. I thought Tesla people were a bit more informed than the general population. Many of you guys got the facts about the Nissan Leaf totally wrong. It sounds like you are...
