    Poll: Model 3 Phone Key Failure Rate

    Hey all, I have a Moto G5 Plus and I get all sorts of weird behavior. Sometimes the car will unlock but I can't start it. Other times the car will connect via Bluetooth and start playing my music, but not allow me to start it. Or it connects via Bluetooth and then doesn't unlock the doors, but I...

    Model 3 crazy vampire drain

    Since I really, really like the Teslafi data, I've left it for now to see how it changes with the new settings (so far, it's considerably better, although still about 10 miles per day). I might wait to see what V9 brings in the energy data to decide what to do.

    Model 3 crazy vampire drain

    No kidding, I'm at 1 mile per hour of loss. Even more bothersome, I got the car to sleep after changing Teslafi settings, and it still drained a mile in about an hour and a half...

    Model 3 crazy vampire drain

    Is the difference in vampire drain largely dependent on v36? I just read through a whole bunch of this since my 3 is losing an average of a mile an hour. I started using Teslafi on it to track it to see if I was right, and those numbers are about right. I just changed the Teslafi settings to...

    I called yesterday because I hadn't heard anything from Highland, only my scheduling advisor from Freemont and... I now have the car! Delivery took a bit but I sort of expected it. They told me to come in and they'd get it for me yesterday. When I arrived it was on an off site storage...

    1230 for me, same deal. Have either of you had contact from Delivery Advisors? I have only spoke with my Scheduling Advisor or whatever they call the first person who emailed us all, but she has been great. I was also rescheduled to this day from Monday.

    Is Tesla playing a shell game with delivery?

    For your worry about getting placed in the back of the queue, I don't think you need to worry. It seems that configuration date matters at least somewhat, and should even more in the next couple weeks as they sort everything out, which would put you at the top of the list. For those worried...

    I'm there the same day too! My appointment is at 1230. I'll have an extra iPhone cable to trade ;-) Also, my account changed to accept payment but take the VIN assignment out as a step, even though my VIN is still there just fine. I have a hunch they are working to fix the computer issues...

    Tesla Model 3 delivery is FUBAR

    I said this really poorly. I meant doubling the delivery rate quarter to quarter. You're also absolutely right that other dealerships deliver equal amounts or more. You're also right that they don't deliver this many "custom" deliveries. It's a bit of a unique situatuon.

    Exterior Advice - Bunch of Questions

    I have now completely overloaded myself with information about protecting the paint on our car and would really appreciate some advise. It seems the right answers to this is entirely dependent on so many factors, and I can't figure it out. Here goes: I am getting a solid black 3 soon. I want...

    AWD delivery thread

    So, I wonder if I'm in some sort of new process. I have never spoke to a Delivery Advisor or anyone from the delivery center, other than the one time I stopped in. My scheduling advisor who sent me the email about getting the car has helped me through everything. While she did have to delay the...

    Reported failure points in delivery process

    Wait, how do you do that? Or do you just keep calling the delivery center? First, if you're in this situation, you don't have $50,000+ on the line, just your deposit. As for your scenarios, that's pretty unfair. Software, even written by amazing coders, can have bugs in it. It seems that the...

    Free 1 year supercharging on all M3 for rest of September 2018

    Man, it seems like I'm replying to a bunch of your gloom and doom posts tonight... Ah well, worth replying to one more! SG&A for anyone who doesn't know stands for Sales, General (as in general operating expenses) and Administrative. If Tesla's SG&A last quarter was $15,000, considering they...

    Free 1 year supercharging on all M3 for rest of September 2018

    Electrek said that they had 1124 Performance orders in two weeks recently. Extrapolating from that, using the numbers from reservations... It seems like there were approximately three times as many AWD orders as P orders, and they said that the AWD orders were matching the RWD orders. If that's...

    Tesla Model 3 delivery is FUBAR

    First, I never said it shouldn't piss you off, but my attitude about this stuff is always if I can't control it, why get ultra pissed about it? My wife and I recently flew back on a plane with a connecting flight. The first plane was delayed long enough that there was a real question on if...

    Same delivery location as me. Curious, how did you find out you were delayed? I got delayed today, from the scheduling advisor in Freemont. I haven't been contacted by anyone from Highland Park yet. I was a 9/24 delivery. They only offered me 9/30, which is a pretty difficult day for me to...

    Tesla Model 3 delivery is FUBAR

    Maybe you missed my point. I understand *why* it is happening right now, but it's definitely not good. First and last impressions are hugely important, and they are screwing those up with a lot of people. Having said that, I believe they desperately want to deliver these vehicles and they are...

    Annnnnnnnnnnd.... An email stating delivery was delayed! The email is a little weird, making it sound like it will get there before the 30th but only giving me the 30th to pick it up, which before i was told they weren't open on Sundays. Unfortunately, that Sunday isn't great for me, so I...

    AWD delivery thread

    No, sorry, wasn't clear. What's weird is I was I think the first to report getting a "scheduler" email. I immediately confirmed with them for delivery this coming Monday. Since then, I have had no contacts until yesterday when the scheduler emailed me again and just said "In your account it...

    Tesla Model 3 delivery is FUBAR

    This is exactly how I feel about it. Just posted in the other thread how i have a delivery scheduled for Monday but I'm worried it isn't happening because my account hasn't changed and no contact, but I also go on without issue if it doesn't come then. They have this insane pressure to deliver...

    I don't know. I'm in a Tesla group on Facebook. Since it's sort of a rite of passage there to post when you get your car, I see a lot more there with great experiences getting their cars, and only a couple people that have been pushed. I'm supposed to take delivery on Monday, and as of right...

    Arggh, another surprise price increase (red paint up another $500)

    I just wanted to point this out as I don't think that Troy's spreadsheet has much of anything to do with real world supply and demand. Troy's spreadsheet (and the others) were / are a great tool for those of us who have waited for a year or two or more to get the car. Those people who ordered...

    Staggering amount of issues found at/after delivery. Considering returning the car.

    To the OP, I'm glad it seems that cooler heads prevailed. When you had originally said that you were going to post all the videos about the car on Youtube, I think that once you start doing things like that it makes it more difficult to get everyone to listen. It's better to threaten to do that...

    My trade in became active today. Filled it out, still have the edit button though... Weird. For anyone who has gotten an offer, do you get it in email? My car presented as in better condition than it is in. I wanted to note that in a comments section - it has major exhaust issues - but there...

    AWD delivery thread

    No, although my account does reflect my delivery appointment now. I'm officially "cautiously optimistic" about it all.

    I have a hunch this I'd their normal volume, they've just been doing it with mainly RWD cars. Now, if AWD production is being focused on, it makes sense we're seeing a high volume. They would also be more likely to contact those of us with longer term reservations, which would be who is watching...

    AWD delivery thread

    Okay, since you're all getting emails too, I think I'm starting to believe mine is legit. Whoo hoo! To me, this lends a bit of credence to the rumor they were slow rolling the AWD manufacturing at the factory for some reason and were able to kick it into high gear starting this week. I bet...

    Odd, but I'm excited about this... I just got an email to schedule delivery, but I still have an edit button. Hoping it's not an error! Delivery window is at the end of the month, reserved 4/29/17, configured 6/27. Standard black AWD, EAP. Hope it's legit, my car is absolutely falling apart.

    Metallic Paint colors back to $1000

    Yeah, from what I can tell, for me it makes no sense. I have had two black cars in the past, and a bit of dust or dirt never bothered me on it. I feel like the Obsidian might hide that slightly better, but for $1000 to correct an issue I've never noticed in my two previous cars ever, I can't...

    I've been following this *very* carefully because I'm really curious about what they do with FSD. FSD will come with release 9. So will the Atari games, and what seems like a major, major EAP update (onramp to offramp driving). It was right around or on August 1st that Tesla said that they...

    Metallic Paint colors back to $1000

    I'm not sure why you would doubt it - the data shows it and we have been seeing more and more deliveries with that timeframe lately. It isn't 100% yet, but it's definitely moving pretty quickly. Additionally, it's pretty easy to not update your VIN and delivery date on the spreadsheet...

    Chances of getting LR, RW, Black, 18", EA, and FSD...

    I did a LOT of calculations on my own driving habits, and here is some insight into myself. Your mileage may very. It's a long reasoning, by the way, but I hope it can help. It took me a lot of time to figure this out, so if it helps you that's awesome. By the way, this started because we...

    AWESOME graph. That shows that of the 109 tracked VINs that have been designated, 90 of them (or 82%) have been assigned for the first two dates only. A similar number is with delivery dates assigned. If you extend that to first week deliveries, we end up with nearly 90% assigned. This...

    That was my point! No, 4/29/17. I had been saving for a DeLorean for the past 18 years and then we bought a Leaf more or less on a whim earlier this day. By the end of the day, I never wanted another gas car again, so the DeLorean fund paid out $1,000 to the Tesla fund. :) Regardless, I...

    I think you're all but certain for the end of the year. As others have stated, RWD can show up really quickly. I stopped at Highland Park which is where I'll be picking up, and was told that there were people who ordered and they were calling with cars within two weeks. Granted, that was back...

    I am not sure what you're saying at all here. You seem to have said that I'm wrong because it's reservation date, but then it's configuration date once you configure? My guess had been *when they opened it* that they would open the configurator based on reservation date *like they had been* and...

    Should I add EAP before or after I get a VIN?

    I've heard this is the way to do it. If you add EAP, it apparently does change your estimated delivery date. If you haven't had a VIN assigned yet, this may push you back even though it's the same car. If the car is in transit, I've heard you can ask your delivery specialist to add it and...

    While I don't completely share your optimism (more on that in a moment), but I did a very complex breakdown the day after I configured on 6/28 to try to better estimate where I was in line and my numbers now aren't too far off. A longer post, but might be worth looking through for estimates...
