    Timing question

    I own a model S - recently took delivery of a model three which is my daughter's car. My wife has now seen the light and wants to order a model three. Does anyone have an idea of how long it would take if I reserve today? I assume because I am me previous owner we get some priority but I feel...

    Another Model 3 Review

    I drive a model S which I absolutely love. My daughter picked up her model three in the past couple of days. Red with sport wheels. I wanted to share my impressions very quickly about the vehicle. Likes- styling, comfort, acceleration, handling- the car drives very similar to a small...

    App showing really high interior temp

    Just picked up model 3 today -- the interior temp on the app is reporting over 110 degrees the outside temp is 60 degrees.( car is parked) This is clearly not correct. Has anyone had this? I am going to try a hard reboot tonight. Maybe I have a bad sensor but when the climate is on it...

    Anyone try B.A Design works speakers/sub upgrades?

    The BA Design sub and amp are fantastic- great bang for the buck. They did my install which was flawless. The sound quality goes from what I would rank a 5 out of 10 to a 9 out of 10. Night and day difference. The products are high end Rockford fosgate and Punch. The sound really fills the...

    Here is what really annoys me about extra cost paint "options".

    I have the metallic black on my model S. I absolutely love the color. The model S is a premium vehicle and like virtually all of its competition you pay extra for metallic colors. Check out Porsche, BMW, Audi etc. that is how does a done. It is really simple if you do not feel there is value in...

    [POLL] CA Current owners ONLY. Have you received your config invite yet?

    California owner- reservation date November 21, 2017 received invitation to configure last night. The vehicle will be my daughter's and she selected red, sport wheels and no AP. She wants AP but may need to add it later as it was budget restrictive at this time.

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    On the S and X they offer home delivery outsourced- guy just drops the car. They also offer expedited pickup- it took me about 3 mins and was on my way.

    Wiki Model 3 delivery estimator

    Reserved 10/21/2017 - northern CA - only a few with dates near mine have configured. I know two other owners with dates right near mine still waiting as well. My point is it seems a few owners left with the March- May delivery window and then it should move to non-owners. From talks with DS I...

    Wiki Model 3 delivery estimator

    Correct but most have a delivery date after the first day non-owners. It seems as though sometime in Dec 2017 owner purchases started getting an est. invite date just after the day one non-owners. I'm sure we can get some current owners who reserved in 2018 to chime in with the estimated dates...

    Wiki Model 3 delivery estimator

    I should be on of the last owners before it opens to non-owners. Ordered 1/21/2017 estimator show configure March 1st -- Tesla website gives gives March - May window. I am planning on late May - seems like vins and invites have slowed.

    Cancelling my reservation

    Trust me the Bolt and Leaf are not competition. Only EV loyalist will purchase these ugly cars- Zero cool factor. Porsche mission E and Electric Mini should add some competition Cancel don’t cancel who cares, it’s just a car - that said I will have 3 soon
  17. jjrad

    Cancelling my reservation

    You do t compare a Bolt and a model S ! You compare a model S to a Porsche Panamera / BMW 7 series/ Maserati etc That is what the model S buyers do. The S wins on acceleration- braking close on handling air suspension inferior fit finish and stereo but best tech That is a valid comparison...

    Cancelling my reservation

    Do not cancel! You will be bummed. The waiting sucks- I did it for the S Before I bought the S I drove everything Porsche/ Audi / Benz etc No comparison I love the car - the tech - cool factor - acceleration etc Decide once you can configure. Someday Tesla will have real competition and at...

    Anyone try B.A Design works speakers/sub upgrades?

    I am getting the sub / amp package installed Friday 2/9 I live near them so they are installing - I will review when it is done. Looks like a custom fiber enclosure Punch sub and Rockford Fosgate amp. I have a 2017S with base stereo and it needs more power and bass. I like the components and...

    2018 Tesla Model 3 Production: 80,000 or 264,000?

    I think 80k would be a big success- from a big fan they do not seem to be able to get any momentum. They need to ramp - big competition coming from real players in 19 and 20. These delays made me decide against the roadster- eventually people will go elsewhere

    [POLL] CA Current owners ONLY. Have you received your config invite yet?

    still a No - current owner reserved 10/2017 est says Jan- Feb I think based on current production rate they are 20-80 days behind. No hurry on my end - very surprised if I am ahead on non-owners whom waited in line.

    Is $9k worth 310 miles v 220?

    Yes- if you can afford it Keep in mind you usually charge to 85% and you don’t go below 20% So on the SR battery you really On have range of about 130 miles In mountains or cold weather even less Day to Day OK but not ideal. The 3 is great but significantly better with larger...

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    Slow compared to every estimate made by Tesla as well as the revised one. I have two Tesla's the 3 is for my daughter and we are not in a big hurry. Just trying to gauge where we are at with the VINs

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    Highest VIN ? are we to 5k yet? The vins suggest a very slow production rate maybe 500 week. Any new VIN's

    Out of curiosity, what do you hate about your Tesla?

    Love my S - best looking and driving car on the market at any price. Love the size /speed and style. I do wish that Tesla would offer cooled /AC seats as I live in a very hot area.

    Just how inferior is the 3 vs S/X ?

    Both great cars- pick based on your preference and space needs I have an S would not trade it for the 3 I like the style of the MS better and I like a bigger car. The S has more features which I enjoy. The 3,with the tax credit is an amazing value. All 3 are S M and 3 are all super...

    The ramp appears to be very long and flat. I need another Tesla!!

    I’ve been invited to configure. Should I?

    The model 3 is not a small MS the MS is a high end car across the board I am a 3 fan but it not near the same class of car. I have driven a couple hundred miles in the 3 (employee friend) if you have the S keep the S Wait on the 3 for better options/configs

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    In basically five months Tesla has built approximately 3000 model 3's if you look at it from a best case scenario that they can build 5000 cars in January, 7500 cards in February and 10,000 cars in March you are a total of approximately 22,000 vehicles. More than likely this represents about...

    Grumpiness and off topic discussion from the configuration thread

    You should also note he built a "car of the year"- Model S and arguably the best car ever made S or X Not to mention his cars are just plain cool. People will wait for something better. I own 2 and the wait is well worth it.
  42. jjrad

    What would you do?

    I have an S and an X my daughter is in line for a 3 late next year. I would wait for the model 3. You may still get a state tax credit and the car still seems like a good value. Anyway you do it a new S will cost you 70k after credit and a 3 will be at least 15k less with no credits. Unless...
