    Vendor Mountain Pass Performance Intro - Updates

    I have never done a suspension mod before and have no idea what I am doing but I am inclined to buy your product just for how helpful you have been in this thread. Keep the info flowing! No I want to lower this thing, don't know how, but found someone I trust to tell me the right thing to do.

    Let's talk financing rates

    Everyone be exceedingly nice to Xceed. I talked to a very helpful rep today (Christine) and she says they are getting inundated with calls for Tesla loans. She asked if I knew why and I told her someone posted on the forum that they would be a good option for a Model 3 loan. We talked for...

    18 vs 19 inch wheels? Help please

    Wait, $1300 is too much but $1500 is not?

    Aftermarket Wheels - What are you getting?

    Can someone point to a website where I can put the specs of the wheel in rather than search by car? Something that will give me the actual wheel weight?

    Tire rotation

    It is a tire rotation not a Saturn V launch. It is shocking how gullible Tesla owners can be.

    Interior, headliner quality issues

    Hmm, seems like exactly what people said was going to happen when the jobbed everyone out of alcantara and effectively gave their own employees a founder's series.

    Losing enthusiasm for Model 3

    It was the car of the future 2 years ago, quickly becoming the car of the present and if they don't get their act together will be obsolete byt he time they ramp.

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    What? There is a service center in Littleton and I have not heard about Tesla opening stores all over the state.

    Filing a complaint is easy. Anyone can do it including an attorney seeking to get certified as a class. Returning the $2500 is cheaper than having to respond tot he complaint even if it gets dismissed at SJ.

    Hey, here is some good news. Shorting customers after making sure the employees got a signature ultra suede version is totally out of the news cycle because of the 3rd delayed delivery date! Super duper everyone!

    Just killed all my excitement for Model 3... sigh

    2017 as per Elon. Tesla’s $35,000 Model 3 will start production in 2017 Here is another interesting quote: "Tesla will give priority to current owners of Model S, Model X, and Roadster vehicles, and it will also allot Model 3 cars by region, with California buyers getting their cars first."...

    Non-owner First Production window just got pushed back

    How many more delays until we are caught up to the original estimate?

    Non-owner First Production window just got pushed back

    What is in Tesla's past behavior that makes you believe any non-owner will take delivery by September 30th?

    Sick of waiting? Vent here

    Which is why it is theoretically possible you will never get a Model 3. If production can't outstrip existing owners and people buying S/X a non-owner will never get one.

    So why not take it down? Why not update the update the press kit for the 3? It seems like a simple mitigation.

    Non-owner First Production window just got pushed back

    It is actually a very exact science. You can get an entire education in it, it is called Manufacturing Engineering. My friend is one and he is trying to shave seconds off of assembly everyday. He can do this because it is quite literally an exact science.

    Non-owner First Production window just got pushed back

    I am not comparing either. I am saying that the defense people use "they are ahead of their original schedule" is ridiculous. If they had never updated their schedule and told everyone 2019 then they would be impressing the hell out of everyone. Instead they set an expectation and then failed...

    Non-owner First Production window just got pushed back

    Strawman argument. My original delivery window was Oct-Dec so we are really looking at a 6 month window...so far. Let me ask, at what point do you think it is absurd? Will you just keep defending Tesla at 9 months? 12 months?

    Non-owner First Production window just got pushed back

    I take it you have zero experience in project management. If I tell the customer I am going to be done December 2018 but then revise my schedule to December 2017 the earlier date is what I am accountable to. I build satellites, this happens all the time. When I re-baseline schedule or budget...

    Non-owner First Production window just got pushed back

    Hahahaha, are you kidding? People have been using that logic since July. Remember that exponential production curve Tesla hyped. This is ridiculous, what good is a schedule if you just keep pushing it tot he right? I guess if the cultist customer base you have developed gives you a pass at...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    You know what else would have made them not care? Delivering the first 2000 cars with textile headliner and not giving press and your employees something practically no one else is going to even have the option for. Or, in the alternative, not releasing a dismissive press statement that says...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    This guy didn;t say it had Alcantara either. He used it in quotes as an adjective. I am merely saying that the logic is flawed when you think you have a cause of action for an ebay ad from a person not in the business of selling cars but Tesla, who is, is totally without fault. Go look up...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    So wait, this guy uses alcantara in quotes to describe what the material is like and should be sued but Tesla shows us actual pictures of it while ordering and is totally innocent? Where are you barred? You should return all your clients' money.

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    I guess you won't answer the question. Of course I am going to order. Your argument is equivalent to people that say "if you don't like it you can just get out" in response to someone criticizing something the Government is doing. It is the Tesla Fanboy way, agree with everything Tesla does...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    So I ask again, if my day to configure comes and the website still shows the alcantara interior should I be one of the chosen few that gets it made right? I am ordering off what I see on the website after all. This is the situation most buyers will bein because most buyers aren't perusing...

    No they aren't. Sorry, we were always planning on not providing tires, deal with it.

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    And you don't see a problem with that? You don't see a problem with them intentionally not putting any galleries of pictures up so that they can deny they were ever going to deliver what you thought. Hey, I got an idea. Why not make tires extra? They never said they were going to put tires...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    No I don't, because Tesla has intentionally been cryptic. Heated rear seats, are they there? What about when they can't deliver their textile headliner and switch to something else? To say that people know what they are getting is just dishonest. Tesla has intentionally been vague with...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    But there it is on the website. So when I order can I bitch about it then? Do I have your permission to complain about not getting the interior that is clearly shown on the website?

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    You still don't seem to acknowledge the fact that the website still shows alcantara. So all these people you are dismissing because they didn't really order a car and merely reserved one are turning into actual orders as we speak. I have a Dec - Feb date (not that I believe that) but I am...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    If I were to order today, like get my configuration email from Tesla right this minute, I would be ordering a car based on pictures from their website that are not accurate of the product to be delivered. Why is that so hard for you to understand? The website and press kit still shows the fake...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    No, people won't know. The number of people following Tesla forums after reserving a Model 3 is miniscule. I work at an Aerospace company and 3 of us stood in line. Aerospace engineers seem like a crowd that would follow very detail of their Tesla, I am the only one out of the 3 that have...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    What about people who order today based on the pictures on the website? Literally the ones Tesla is using to promote the car at this very second? Are they allowed to call it a bait and switch or do they just have to take what they are given?
  43. J

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    No, he is saying that right now, as of this moment, Tesla is still advertising something they will not deliver. If I got my invite (3/31 line stander) this second and ordered I would be ordering based off a picture that shows Alcantara. Right now.

    The picture on the website as of this post shows Alcantara. It is OK to admitt hat Tesla is wrong here, it really is.

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    Literally the largest picture on the website that stares at you every time you log in to MyTesla. Guess what., it still shows a really nice Alcantara interior. Of course Tesla has purposefully omitted any other pictures of the interior on their website so they can have plausible deniability...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    Every picture on the website shows alcantara. Literally every one. So people ordering did know the material, it is reasonable to assume that the pictures on the website that you see while ordering a product are what they intend on shipping to you. Otherwise they should just put an F40 on the...

    What do you think of the door handles?

    It is a different procedure on every car. Think about it, if you are on the passenger side you use your right hand and if you are on the drivers side you use your left. If you don't you are awkwardly opening the door into yourself.

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    Not true. I have built 2 tract homes from one of the largest in the country. You spend a day at their design center and pick everything out that is over the base. It is all on a build sheet and very detailed.

    No, you sign an option contract like every other company that knows they are going to need some product for several years and lock in the price. Airlines buy fuel years in advance to remove this as a variable cost.
