    Anyone else SOLELY relying on supercharging?

    I have free SC. One of the reasons for getting a Tesla is because my family has started doing road trips almost every weekend (40+ a year). I usually SC once going up and once on the way back. I have a home charger, but most of the time I don't have to other than topping off the morning of our...

    Autopilot nag "Apply light force to steering wheel"

    If it's any easier, any input from the steering wheel gets the nag to go away. Some people move the volume up, or down one click and it does the same thing.

    What the chances Tesla cars will be self driving in 3 years? Why do you think that way?

    TBH I think it would be amazing if in the next 3 years we achieve level 3 autonomy as defined by the SAE Level 3 ("eyes off"): The driver can safely turn their attention away from the driving tasks, e.g. the driver can text or watch a movie. The vehicle will handle situations that call for an...

    Autopilot disengagement, driving etc. out of main.

    I may be in the minority, but I appreciate that Tesla has the nags. In previous years there was no nag, or the nag time was greater and people took advantage and did dumb things (remember the orange/grapefruit and other nag defeating devices). As the system improves and there's less need for a...

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    To be honest, other than the edge it looks really good. Wasn't a fan of the way some of the aftermarket ones looked. Unless you look really closely and from certain angles most won't notice, but still shouldn't be having these issues.

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    I got my P3D spoiler and badge earlier this week. They didn't mention the defective spoiler when I dropped my car off. When I got it back I noticed the far right corner edge wasn't holding like the left. I could actually see the adhesive pulling off vertically a tiny bit (maybe the thickness of...

    Supercharger charging speed... what do you get ?

    It may be the winter. Temperature plays a major role in how fast you will charge. A week out of the month I travel a bit for work. On the way home I use to supercharge near my hotel and I'd get less than 25kW, even on urban superchargers. Tesla ran diagnostics and said my battery was just cold...

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    Can't wait for it to makes its way to the Bay Area! Thanks to the people getting their spoilers and dealing with the growing pains as Tesla figures out how to streamline and QA this. Use to drive a P90D and ever since, S and 3s look unfinished to me without them (personal opinion).

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    I've heard of Dual Motor badges being available, but not the Performance badge with the red underline. I'm assuming the P3D+ cars in China with the spoilers are for test drives and media? Does it say if it's the preorder cars? In the US they made plenty of P3D+ cars with spoilers and Performance...

    Most favorite part about driving the M3?

    I've noticed this too. I have friends and family with chronic back pain and the first thing they say when they sit down is that their back doesn't hurt. They're utterly amazed.

    Most favorite part about driving the M3?

    My favorite part is that it's an amazing car everywhere. During the week it gets me through my commute, on the weekend I get to go into the mountains. Friends and family feel very safe and comfortable in it, my friends at work sporting an challenger, M4, 911 and Lotus are blown away by the speed...

    What's the deal with ceramic coating?

    Ceramic coating is basically a longer lasting, hard wax. There are several different kinds from the DIY, to pro stuff. I'm in an expensive part of California and professional stuff goes from $600-$2500 at the top for Cquartz Finest Reserve. The expensive stuff should come with paint correction...

    Discount for demo vehicle?

    The discount they give varies on the spec and reasons for the discount. The more expensive the car, the more margin there seems to be. I got a demo P3D+ with 64 miles on it, not titled and never owned/sold. On inspection the left side mirror looked perfect, but I could tell from the feel it had...

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    Saw one case of a new AWD delivery having the AWD badge on it. No word on P3D badges, or spoilers though.

    19” Model 3 Turbine Wheels OEM Bay Area

    Beautiful 19” Tesla Model 3 Turbines. Wheels only (no tires or TPMS). $900. Ideally local pickup in the Bay Area (CA), but am willing to drive and meet up somewhere within reason. These wheels are in perfect condition, driven from Tesla to a wheel/tire shop with less than 30miles on them. Kept...

    Got my Model 3 in ONE DAY

    I hear you Shane. My family had a 4/1 and 4/6 reservations. We got the RWD end of Feb, but just recently got our P3D. The only reason I have my P3D is because I had a sales person look through the available inventory for it at the end of Q3 when they had access. They didn’t find my exact config...

    Home Delivery what to expect?

    From my understanding towards the end of Q3 people were receiving their cars outside in the parking lot, not inside the showroom. I could be wrong.

    Home Delivery what to expect?

    Had a home delivery at the end of Q3. If it's like the craziness of that rush you may get an engineer, or someone whose job is not specifically to deliver your vehicle, delivering it to you. They'll have papers for you to sign, spend about 10min and their uber will be there. They told me I have...

    P3D "Estimated delivery by late September"

    I read that Tesla was giving their associates access to the Model 3 inventory, so they didn't have to wait for logistics/delivery (who are swamped) to pair up cars. I talked to the person I did a test drive with and they said they'd check the inventory for me. They called me back and said they...

    P3D "Estimated delivery by late September"

    If you haven't been matched up with a car yet, I'd highly suggest talking to a sales person. They recently got access to the Model 3 inventory and can search for your exact config. It's what I did and took delivery 3 days later. I know for a fact that if I waited on the text message system...

    P3D+ Spoiler/DM badge Waiting Room

    19" Tela OEM Rims, Wheel Caps, Spoiler, Pedals (Bay Area)

    Hi everyone. Looking to sell some things in the California Bay Area. Preferably local sales, but if you're really interested and want to pay shipping we can possibly work something out. - 19" Tesla OEM rims. No tires or TPMS. Literally drove from the factory to the tire shop. Less than 30...

    P3D white interior (no performance upgrade package) VIN updates

    You might actually have better luck. I'm pretty sure the sales guy was looking to see what he could get to me before the end of the quarter and just in my area since I'm really close to Fremont. Doubt he was looking to see if he could send anything in my config back to the Fremont area. Who...

    P3D white interior (no performance upgrade package) VIN updates

    Talked to a sales person today. The just recently got access to the Model 3 inventory and were able to look and see if there were any unclaimed P3D- in Blue with white interior for me (Bay Area). They couldn't find any available at all in case there are others like me that were waiting. I'm...

    Grandfathered in to free supercharging and connectivity after upgrading?

    Not sure what to say. #1 and #3 are doable as they did it for me. I've been told by some people that referral codes are easy to add. People have said they've added a code on the day of delivery.

    Grandfathered in to free supercharging and connectivity after upgrading?

    Just went through this. Upgraded my order to a Performance model. Talked to management at a store and told them I'm interested in upgrading to a P, but want to make sure before I do it that: 1. I get the price before the increase on paint 2. Lifetime connectivity/supercharging 3. I can apply my...

    AWD delivery thread

    Just a note on the price discrepancies between Tesla approved electricians and normal licensed electricians. I got quoted by a Tesla approved company ~$1300 to install a Nema 14-50, or HPWC about 5ft from my panel (no panel upgrades needed). I thought this was really high and called around. I...

    Model 3 Positives

    Been driving the same car since high school, it only takes premium gas. I remember standing at the pump and paying $4+/gallon. Told myself that once I graduated from college, found a job, got my finances in order, my next car would be a hybrid, or electric. So the positive for me is this will be...

    Tax Credit Clarification

    Thanks Bluestar. That makes more sense to me and is more in line with some of the educated guesses I've seen on other sites as well as Elons initial belief that most will get some form of tax credit. I know others have said the test drives are no pressure, but I felt quite a bit of anti-selling...

    Tax Credit Clarification

    Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but when I spoke with an Advisor who said Tesla is already past 180,000 as of today.
