Hey, I know this is a bit random but I was just contacted by a set director who's interested in renting my Tesla for a commercial. They're willing to pay $1,000 a day for 2 days in between June 22nd and 27th. The thing is they're looking for an identical one to mine (red exterior, white...

Like my original post said, I'm taking it in to get it checked but thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone comes up with a potential explanation that fits. I appreciate the feedback everyone! Interesting chart on the 10-degree increments. Whether it's a hotter day (for Fall) or colder, my...

My tire pressure is fine. I understand the effect cold weather can have but it just doesn't make sense with what I've seen. Again, the one week the weather was slightly below freezing, I still saw good consumption then and even for a while after. So if that's how my X handled a week of just...

I noticed limited regen once within the first month (way before any of this started happening), but it went away shortly thereafter and didn't affect my long distance/term consumption rate. Even taking the extra energy it needs to heat up the battery into account, it still doesn't fall back...

Hey Everyone, In trying to keep my thoughts and your read organized, I broke it down into sections. Thanks for your help! BEFORE I got my brand new Model X 100D in early September. Except for minor trim issues that I decided to leave be, it was the car my wife and I dreamed of. Over the last...

Ordered mine on 7/22, confirmed 7/25. Don't know exactly when it went into production but it was sometime in the first week of August if I'm not mistaken. It was in transit by the third week of August and took delivery in the first week of September. Take that for what it's worth but it seems...

Love that blue/purple colour combo! Great choice.

I think many of us feel your pain... or pleasure rather! I just picked up my MX 100D last week and I love it. Feels so good driving it, a feeling I've never felt in any other car. All things considered, I think it's a good addiction to have. Better for your health to drive your Tesla in the...

... only to find out you dropped your wallet and he was trying to return it. ;)

In my research on Tesla before ordering mine a month ago, it was disappointing to learn how unreliable Summon actually is in these scenarios. My garage will be a tight fit getting in and being able to use Summon reliably would be of great help, but obviously it's not ready. Regular parking will...

I'll be taking delivery of my X in a couple weeks and have only test driven both, never owned. My reasons: Space. While others have noted you can have more length in the S with the seats folded, I find the X provides better functionality in offering both storage and maximizing seating...

I wouldn't say you need a new team, because that implies it takes more education to identify, for example in this scenario, a fan noise, when in reality all you need is a set of ears. The truth of the matter is that the issue must be procedural. Maybe you do need some new people at the top who...

Oh boy, will this thread come in handy. Will be taking delivery in a couple weeks. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to contribute to this! I'll be sure to follow up and share my experience once the day comes.

Fun read and interesting theory. I could buy the reasoning behind it and like you point out, it is more in line with the "added computing and redundant wiring" line used earlier. I'm just curious now to see if owners could put their S or X on the Tesla Network but with fewer certainties such as...

Oh the great old "pics or it didn't happen" crew. Some people just seek to make a conspiracy out of everything. You can say that without pictures there is no evidence, but if you really want to be skeptical, how do we know the source of the pictures are credible? What if they were photoshopped...

The cost isn't such a big concern as I know it would be worth the investment. Spending this much on a car, a protective wrap won't be the straw that break the camel's back. I found a couple providers that people on the forum recommended (Freedom included), but I would love to get your advice on...

The issue is more convincing my wife than me at this point, so the more people I can point to telling me to get it wrapped, the better. Thanks! :D

Nice, looks great! Still not convinced one way or the other whether to get mine wrapped. It's nice to see what one looks like wrapped that isn't black or white. It works really well. Now, onto those rims! ;)

I would think that they meant cars to be produced. Considering how they're still not great at scheduling with people's delivery times varying by a month, I hardly imagine they know the exact time frame of when a car would go into production after being ordered. But I'm just spit-balling here. I...

Yeah, but one could still say they wouldn't have bought the car had they known that FSD wasn't a possibility (how could Tesla argue against that?), which is what Tesla would technically be saying if they tried to arrange a refund. If it really did come to it, it being HW 2.0 not being capable...

Yeah, but if HW 2.5 passed regulatory requirements, then they would still be obligated to upgrade it for free, in my opinion. I mean, it's like saying "buy my motorcycle, it'll fly you to the moon" and then saying "you can't get regulatory approval to fly to the moon anyways, so there's no need...

Couple interesting tidbits in there that stood out to me: The spokesperson also said that all Model S, Model X, and Model 3 vehicles being ordered today come with the new hardware. ...and... Tesla still believes that it can achieve the promised full autonomy on the 2.0 suite, but they now say...

If that's how you see it. Like I said, I'm fully aware of how it helped but we would've been in a good position to afford one within a few years without it. Even with the apartment, if our monthly finances weren't in order, we would be in no position to be buying one. That's the point. Good job...

Canadian here, so fair warning that the numbers might be a bit higher. My story is a mixture of hard work, some luck / good fortune, and good financial awareness. My wife and I both look over our finances closely on a monthly basis, but at the same time we do like to enjoy ourselves, with our...

I was just in a Tesla showroom the other day showing some family around and I experienced this as well on one of their floor models! It worked initially but at some point it just got stuck. 3rd row seat, passenger side.

So, at the time the new prices were adjusted, I was in the middle of getting approved for a loan through a Tesla Regional Credit Analyst. I was emailing him and my Owner Advisor was cc'ed on the email thread. Too lazy to type out the full story so here are our emails back and forth over the last...

Figured as much, as I was coming to that conclusion in a later post.

I emailed mine and still waiting to hear back as well. I just double checked with my wife and she said "Yup, I'm sure. Because I asked about it." Smart cookie, that one.

I thought the rates were in that range too but... I'm in Canada and I was offered... wait, hold on. Now I think I'm getting mixed up. I was offered 1.99% for a custom and 1.49% for either an inventory or a CPO. Now I can't recall which it was, sorry. I may have been mistaken. Someone, correct...

It is my understanding they offer lower rates for CPOs than for custom builds. That's what they offered me when evaluating my options a couple weeks ago.

My wife says she recalls the OA we were talking to when placing our order a couple weeks ago saying exactly that, that price reductions will be passed on but price increases won't, but I don't remember that. My memory can escape me at times so she may be right, and if so, then you got what you...

I like to think of it as an extra 25% in range. There's also the slight increase in acceleration but I know it's negligible in the everyday sense. I guess it depends on how many road trips you go on and how long you plan on keeping the car. If you're planning to do some longer road trips and...

Nice number rundown! I ordered an X 100D with options and this should save me a little over $7K. Just waiting to hear back from my OA to confirm the price will be adjusted.

Please tell me orders that have recently been placed but not yet produced will reflect this price reduction. Oh pretty please.

That's funny to hear. I thought I'd also experience some buyer's remorse but everytime I found myself thinking "is this real?" it was out of excitement and disbelief that it's finally happening. I guess that's what happens when you go in well-researched. My wife had a few hours of remorse just...

Hey Freedom101, Congrats on the new purchase! Your story stood out to me because I share much of what you mentioned. My wife and I just put an order in for our Model X on the 22nd at the same Vancouver location, just a day after they changed the premium upgrade and packaged it all into one. We...

These look great! Just confirmed my order for my red X last week and taking delivery in September. Thinking of getting some sort of black rims done with red brake calipers as soon as I get it. Debating on the chrome delete though... looks good too, just not 100% sure. Can't wait either way...

Nice! It also helps too that I will no longer have to pay $300 a month in gas. Monthly payments will still be absurd in comparison to any other regularly priced car, but it's all about being financially prepared. If worse comes to worst, we can always pay it off lump sum, but in the meantime...

Ha! Yeah, we want to keep the monthly as low as possible just to give us flexibility, but we plan on having it paid off much sooner. The rates are so low there is no point in committing to anything short-term in my opinion.

I ordered my X100D 2 days ago, going into the showroom to get it done without knowing the new changes. Was pleasantly surprised with the new offerings as I was aiming for a practically fully loaded one. Living in Canada, it gave me a savings of $3K so money saved. Hoo-rah!

Yeah, I figured that was too much of a stretch. That's great to hear that your major trim issue got fixed. Makes me comfortable knowing that if I come across such a situation, all hope is not lost... Especially since I just put the order in yesterday! Got an overnight loaner to fool around with...

Just put in the custom order and got 1.99% for 8 years in Canada. Surprising because the rates were 3.6% not long ago I think.

I see. The laws in Canada are basically that the manufacturer is obligated to fix anything that's covered under warranty. I'm not sure if there's a specified amount of time but I'd imagine at the worst there is a "within a reasonable amount of time" type of clause in there. Still something I...

And that's my problem too, just like you can't imagine driving another vehicle, I can't stop imagining being in the same situation (less the problems, of course!). I'm perfectly comfortable taking a problem to the highest level and complain my way to the top until it gets resolved like you...

I'm on the verge of getting a Model X this Fall, doing all the research I can and these stories are my one big concern. By the sounds of it, it is not the usual experience to have so many issues but without a doubt they obviously do happen and happen way more than they should, especially for...

Guessing these are all offers in the US... Anyone with some insight into rates and terms in Canada?

Didn't know that either. Thanks for the info!

Thanks! Ah, I didn't know about the duty due to the overseas battery mentioned above. Aren't all of their batteries being made at the Gigafactory now, in which case shouldn't all of their cars save on the import tax? Something else to be updated perhaps...

So the loonie has been going up fast since the Bank of Canada has increased its rate. I know this thread is under the Model 3 sub-accounts but this makes me wonder how long does it take for Tesla to update its prices based on the exchange rate (in reference to it's Model S/X prices)? Currently...

Got it, thanks!
