    2024 Model Y driver side front window- same as 2023?

    Hey folks, does anyone know if the 2024 MYP front windows are the same as the 2023? I've had mine 10 days and cracked the side window (or actually my tint guy did...). Tesla immediately let me book an appointment then delayed it today several weeks because lack of parts. Safelite near me said...

    2023 MY Performance owners, what car did you replace?

    I am replacing a 2019 Jaguar I Pace. Great car but...it's a Jaguar. I've had a M3P and a MX previously. I am planning on a MYP to replace the IPace. But the Model S LR in the new red is trying to tempt me...

    Home Delivery Experience

    I've had two home deliveries. In both cases the driver was a contractor. Just dropped the car off and left. I'm curious how you get home delivery nowadays, though. My 2018 Model X and 2020 Model 3P were delivered. But Tesla refused to deliver my 2022 Model S. Said they only deliver "200...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yep, I just got one as well. My reservation is pre-price increase. I wonder if they are trying to make us take a pre-light refresh vehicle?

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    They said they would actually- but pickup was over a weekend that I was not available. It's just sort of insulting that I can buy a Model X and a Model 3 and get home delivery, but not on a Model S. I'm wavering on moving forward with the purchase. But for more reasons than the long and very...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    This is not accurate. I am also in the exact same position as you (reservation date and all). I had a VIN assigned for pickup this weekend. I couldn't make it and they sent an email that my reservation was held until April 1 when I would be put back in the queue for the next VIN- OR, I could...

    Thinking about selling my Tesla Model 3 Performance

    Sold. For those interested it went for $49k. Thanks. I am out of the Tesla business...for now. See you soon...

    Thinking about selling my Tesla Model 3 Performance

    Midnight gray, black interior, 7300 miles. Enhanced autopilot but not FSD. All stock except floor mats. I live in Alabama. Super fun car but I am ready to move on. Hoping you folks can give advice on a realistic asking price. I figure with the recent price reductions and announced range...

    Who bought their car in March with basic autopilot for $2k

    I purchased in February 2019 (if that helps). My PA says i paid for autopilot at $3000.

    A question about ordering a model 3 using a vehicle trade in

    I hear ya. I hope you are located near a service center. I've had two Tesla vehicles (model X and now P3D) and since im located about 3 hours from the nearest repair center- I'm probably done with Tesla now. Will be selling my Tesla when I get the windshield replaced from rock hitting and...

    A question about ordering a model 3 using a vehicle trade in

    I had same issue and they honored original trade in quote no problem.

    Talk me into or out of Model 3 Purchase (mostly range anxiety)

    Make absolutely CERTAIN you are comfortably close to a SERVICE CENTER. We all hope that our cars wont break. But they do (had a rock break my window after two weeks of ownership- after 5 weeks STILL trying to sort out a Service Center trip- closest to me is 3-4 hours). Also- if you do have...

    Current Quality

    I have to comment on this. I've had two Tesla vehicles- a Model X and my current M3P. I was strongly considering the Jag I Pace. Here's why- I sold the Model X (which was a really good car but very expensive) because Tesla service ABSOLUTELY SUCKS in my area. Plus- I really wanted the 3P...

    Disappointing Range in P3D. Is this normal?

    I'm not getting close to the stated range of 310 miles. But I'm hammering it every chance I get! So no expectations here of matching anything near that!
  16. G

    P3D+ owners.. how often do you mash the pedal at stoplights?

    Everytime I get the chance. That's why I purchased this car!

    Should I worry about Tesla going out of business?

    I definitely thought about that. Can't say it would be the worst thing..actually. However- no way they actually cease operations. Someone (maybe Apple???) grabs them out of bankruptcy and starts running the business...possibly better... maybe???. There is a small chance they wouldn't have to...

    Sports car enthusiast opinions wanted

    I traded my 2016 Jaguar F Type R convertible for the Tesla M3P. I do somewhat miss the obnoxious V8 roar when I punch it. But that’s really about it. The Tesla is one of the funnest cars I’ve had. It. Just. Goes. It’s really quick and acceleration is so sweet. You do get used to it...

    Thinking about a Model 3 Performance

    I purchased a Performance about three weeks ago. I had an X before that. I had most of the questions you have now...prior to home delivery (i live 200 miles from nearest service center. Car was surprisingly flawless. Paint was very sharp (midnight silver/black interior). Seats are very...

    Buzz/rattle in either dashboard or mirror housing

    I’ve had this noise (or similar) on rough roads since I received the car a few weeks ago. Today I discovered the angled “pad” that holds the phones was the culprit. When I held it firmly while driving, the sound went away. I will figure out a solution soon. Not sure this is your issue- but it...

    Poor Delivery Experience and Already Having an Issue

    Hey man- very sorry that you’ve had this experience. Congrats at buying a new car at 21- took me quite a few years more than that to buy my first. Ok, you’ve definitely seen the dark side of Tesla, which sadly- is becoming the most prevalent side these days. So now you have to figure out what...

    Traffic aware cruise control

    Same exact thing for me...two week owner- just experienced this same thing with TACC. Not using auto steer at that point.

    Accidentally ordered M3. Tesla won't give me my $2500 back. Need advice.

    It’s possible to do this by accident if you already have a credit card linked to your account...and likely ALSO click on “accept” to complete the order... Weird for sure- When I ordered my car I configured and clicked thru to buy- since I have a CC linked it just immediately charged the card...

    More Model 3 changes and leasing now available

    Possibly one of Tesla's primary mistakes is simple communication. Not completely positive because I am late to the game (last 4 years)- but seems they claimed "the price is the price". No negotiating. You order- we build. We are NOT like any other car manufacturer/franchise dealership model...

    More Model 3 changes and leasing now available

    I think you are making a good decision. I do agree- it's likely in three years there will be a real market for used Model 3s- keeping the value of a well-cared for model, even with 50k+ miles, worth at least $22-$25k. Good luck- one thing is CERTAIN: you will enjoy the car. It is amazing...

    More Model 3 changes and leasing now available

    I think the missing ingredient for a solid analysis is an estimate of what the car will be worth in three years (a total guess of course). If you expect to have positive equity in the car at the end of three years (greater than $1100) but minus the tax credit you WILL get by purchasing the car-...

    Model 3 - The Amazing, the not-so-amazing and the ugly!

    Man, that stinks. Sorry that happened to you. Just today I passed two sneaky cops running traffic from somewhat hidden positions (top of hills after crest). Thank goodness I was fiddling with screen on the first pass (still very new to me) and the second I was behind someone driving very...

    Orders before 2/28, did you get promised AP?

    I ordered before 2/28. But after the price drops, I checked “edit car” and rebuilt it based on new pricing. Because it went down so much in price I added the new version of AP. I personally was not interested in FSD and Summon. So I pretty much paid the same price but got AP with the car. Not...

    Any US Model 3 Performance deliveries in 2019?

    I ordered in February. Then the price changes came. So I clicked “edit order” and got the same car at cheaper price. So I added AP (which for me- is now perfect as I have zero interest in FSD or summon). Absolutely loving this car.

    Model 3 - The Amazing, the not-so-amazing and the ugly!

    Great review. I am a new 3P owner and feel the same about most of your observations. I love the interior. A HUD would be the icing on the cake in my opinion. Just perfection. Here’s why- my car goes fast...really fast. If I’m passing someone or pulling into traffic and need to get up to speed- I...

    How many Teslas you see a day?

    Here in LA (Lower Alabama) a sighting is rare- but I did see two model 3s on the way to work one day a couple weeks ago. I know there is at least one other 3 at my daughters school and occasionally see an S. I had an X last year and only saw one other one the entire time I owned it. Alabama is...

    Windshield wipers are horrible, and arguably dangerous

    New owner (arrived last Friday)- drove in first heavy rain storm today...you guys are right- wipers are terrible! Whoever came up with that design needs to get fired. Windshield wipers have been perfected for decades...shocking how bad they missed it in this car. Theyare ok in light rain- but...

    Any US Model 3 Performance deliveries in 2019?

    Received my midnight silver/black interior 3P at 4:30 pm today. Great third party carrier experience. Dropped off at work. Car was actually, surprisingly fantastic. Panels aligned nicely, paint in good shape, even charged completely up for me. Color me happy!!!!

    Ok...count me in...

    I just received my Tesla Model 3 Performance. Midnight silver, black interior. Been a journey. But like so many, and I mean SO MANY- the aggravation was SO worth it. I’ve had a Tesla (X) before so I’m familiar with the acceleration and ingenious tech. But I was not prepared for this... Best...

    Silly trade in question

    My Jaguar F Type trade in quote from Tesla was a little higher than KBB and much higher than Audi offered for a trade on Q8. Though I will report- on the eve of taking delivery (today in fact), they changed the valuation by lowering it by $250. Very sleazy move and I will deal with it...

    Questions about Home Delivery Experience?

    I’ve had a home delivery (Model X) last year and waiting on home delivery (Model 3) in one week. As mentioned above third party will drop car off at your home and pick up a trade in if applicable. They won’t care about any issues with the car you drop off or trade. Your only option is to receive...

    Thinking About Selling Camaro SS 1LE For a Model 3

    I’m coming from a Jaguar FType R- 550 hp and a seriously growling exhaust. Looking forward to the Model 3P. I’ve had a Tesla before and there is just nothing else like them. Tech is amazing and always improving (mostly). Performance is amazing. And cheap to own. I’m thinking insurance will be...

    Trade-In Experience

    I’m doing a trade in. The process was super easy. In my case it’s a Jaguar and not a Tesla. I was actually shocked by the good offer I received. I had the car for sale on the Jag forum for only $3k more than they offered. I can’t respond about how the actual transaction goes but will let you...

    Any US Model 3 Performance deliveries in 2019?

    I cleared it up with my delivery specialist. As I thought- there is NO home delivery fee: Hey Mr. Nichols, I just wanted to let you know that I was able to get in touch with the team that will be setting up your carrier direct. The specialist that will be reaching out to you is XXXXXXX, he...

    Has anyone paid for home delivery?

    So the delivery "specialist" cleared up the home delivery charge...as in there is none. One more instance of a Tesla employee being entirely clueless about their company policies. I hate to be so critical...but this is such a Mickey Mouse operation, and yet their vehicles are so compelling...

    Has anyone paid for home delivery?

    Agreed. My return email to the delivery specialist pointed this out. If they hold to this pricing, it will force me to make a hard choice with my relationship with Tesla. And I don't mean that angrily... I've been an owner before and sold my X because of horrendous service issues with Tesla...

    Should I be upset about receiving a 2018 car?

    Just my two cents after dealing with Tesla as a former Model X owner (bought new) and now waiting on a 2019 build- unless they give you a SIGNIFICANT discount- NO WAY. Wait for the 2019. You said you were not in a huge hurry so wait a little longer. Again, just my opinion. Good luck...

    Has anyone paid for home delivery?

    I've ordered a Model 3 Performance. Just received a VIN today. I chose home delivery since i am located over 200 miles from the nearest SC. Talking to Delivery coordinator today- she said it will cost $2500 to have Tesla deliver the car to my home. Has anyone else had to pay for home...

    Any US Model 3 Performance deliveries in 2019?

    So whoa Nellie- just had an email conversation with my delivery specialist. She said there will be a $2500 charge for home delivery, despite the fact I'm located over 200 miles from nearest SC. Has anyone else encountered this with a Model 3? My X was delivered free of charge last March and...
