Ordered 6/16/19 with 2-4 weeks expected delivery. Emailed 7/6/19 and they responded 7/9/19 it would be another 6-8 weeks . They offered a refund, but I did not take it. Still waiting obviously.

In Houston, $1,700/yr for my Tesla M3 with mid market carrier Cincinnati. $500k combine limits with $1,000 deductible and excellent comprehensive insurance and $60k agreed upon value. No claims or anything. Pricey but I checked around and Farmers wasn’t much different when they matched the...

My June 2018 build and delivery received the update at some point last year and the max I ever saw it get to at 100% charge was 320 miles. However, my personal belief is regardless of the bump, I never seem to get anywhere near that even with efficient driving (< 250 wi/mh). I charge to 90%...

Anywhere that does state inspections. It's called a safety inspection only since there's no emissions. It costs $7 only.

I rotated my M3 LR via Tesla mobile service at around 7,500 miles for no charge in late 2018. Now at 16,000 miles after 1 year of ownership, I went to Discount Tire yesterday morning to check up on the stock tires, and the technician measured all 4 of them at 6/32" and he said they were all...

Serious question here: Along with the noisy fan in my garage which I have also experienced after drives parked in my garage, I believe I am for the first time after almost 1 year of ownership experiencing musty/ weird smells upon re-entering the vehicle. I have noticed this mainly after being...

I have LR RWD with sport wheels with supposed increased range to 325. I am averaging about 260 miles on full charge based on my estimates on a road trip today of 570 miles and last week for 400 miles. Wh/mi = 275 last week in rainy conditions, 255 wh/mi today in perfect conditions 61-85 degree...

I was just wondering about this today. I have 1 referral, ordered but not yet delivered. It is showing up in my loot box and account online. However, it doesn't show any miles remaining yet which I expected since delivery has not happened yet. However, weird thing is I supercharged 2 times...

Having Sentry Mode is great however I basically haven’t ever been able to use it to view videos in an effective manner. I specifically hit the Save button on Sunday afternoon to be able to view an incident later on. However in the Saved Clips folder on the USB Drive there are several 5/5/15...

I have had Sentry Mode for several weeks now and I have used it extensively while parked at work throughout the day. Initially noticed about 1 mile per hour range loss, sometimes more. However, today I lost 14 miles of range over 9 straight hours of being parked at work. This equates to 70...

Nice write up, but why is the average speed so low (47, 52mph...), even on highways? Sounds like you were crawling. In the end and after my own 6 months of experience, I would never go below Long Range; you simply can't replace having extra juice any time you want or need it IMHO.

Service center confirmed it is not working. They need to order an entire new headlight for the repair.

I am pretty sure my drivers side "signature light" is not working, but the passenger side is working fine. The local service center wants me to send pictures so they can "order the right part" for the repair. I tried to take a good photo, but I was unable to. Perhaps the daytime is better...

How do you see this type of information?

Yeah it has been removed from Texas Direct Auto site for now. Likely means someone put a deposit down. It is not uncommon for the car to reappear later on as deals seem to fall through all the time.

2017 Tesla Model 3

Nice story. I live close to the Texas Direct Auto where the car is now being sold. They went from having about 2-5 Tesla's in inventory at the beginning of the year to now over 20, not all at this location but I think most are. They generally seem to be priced fairly but for unique cars, they...

Sorry you’re having trouble on the delivery and I am sure it all be rectified in time and you’ll enjoy the car and forget about the issues but you have no one to blame on the above besides yourself. Pay in cash if you’re worried about a few dollars in interest.

Agree on the sound system. Came from 2014 Nissan Maxima with Bose system, and I was hoping not to have much of a sound downgrade even with "premium sound" but I have been mostly disappointed in sound power especially when driving at high speeds. Sound sounds decent when idle or driving 20-30 mph.

I have only used it before to "show off" until today when I actually used it for its stated purpose in a parking lot when the idiot on my left had parked way too close to me for my comfort so I summoned it out, and I got in and drove away. Passenger was impressed.

I am enjoying using it for a few weeks now, but has anyone experienced that the Tesla app is not as responsive as quickly when I try to use it throughout the day? Guess it takes longer to wake up while sleeping now?

Yep, I signed up for TeslaFi trial 2 weeks ago, because I was very interested to see the data. I realized my car was not sleeping the first couple days, so I looked into the settings and I hadn't checked the sleep mode options to allow it to sleep. Also, I turned off cabin overheat protection...

Anybody experiencing this on their Model 3 via Slacker streaming? Did not experience this until today, but I have not driven the car since last Sunday since I was out of town all week. My buddy told me he started experiencing the same this week too. Thoughts?

I had minimal drain after delivery the first couple of weeks. Then I signed up for TeslaFi and I noticed drain go up and I figured out that it was not “sleeping” just idling when not in use (in park). There’s a setting in TeslaFi to check to put into sleep mode while not in use so it stops...

My experience is that auto lane change does work nicely while on AP but only on highways or “freeways” as we call them in Texas. I have tired auto lane change on a 4 lane road with 2 lanes each way and auto lane change did not work even though I told it to change lanes and there were no cars...

Same exact thing happened to me as OP, no A/C working (not blowing cold air) after delivery (did not realize it was not working until my drive home, and even then I thought I was doing something wrong). Took my car to Houston service center the next morning, they kept it for testing, gave me...

I just wanted to add that I have clicked the search field and I have entered a song I have chosen and it has played that song immediately, i.e. Imagine Dragons "Thunder". It played Thunder but then after it played a similar song in "Thunder" radio a couple songs later, played another Imagine...

I took delivery in Houston few weeks ago. I chronicled my delivery in a previous post you can look up. Alisha was also my ISA and she was awesome. I never spoke to her on the phone but I exchanged emails several times and she always responded within the same day or the next day. I asked her...

Yes. that's all the answer you need.

She was actually really nice on the phone the 3 times or so I called prior to delivery, with helpful information. I did not meet her in person upon my actual delivery. My sense is they are working like crazy/overworked especially at the end of Q2 when I picked up.

I received the same email for Houston delivery. I managed to stretch it out to about 30 minutes. I probably had more luck with a 5pm delivery slot at the end of the day. If you keep asking questions, they probably won't flat out kick you out, but if you're just delaying there, and they are...

Yes I have noticed that on the display screen since I took delivery a couple weeks ago. Today it said 105 degrees after being parked outside for a couple hours. It was probably around the low 90s actually. Wish it was more accurate.

Installed my carbon fiber wrap today. Took me 25 minutes and I am the least handy person in the world, so that's saying something. Perfect fit, and didn't even need the razor to trim anything. Thank you @Kenriko !

Yes, you get a ViN, they confirm your details with phone or in my case, email, then send you the purchase agreement and they open up the payment portal (cash purchase for me), you submit your payment online or through your bank, and they set up a delivery time likely 2 weeks out from that time...

Look at the Greater Houston Tesla Facebook page. They have a sheet with all the local recommendations there.

Had unfortunate A/C sensor outage after delivery (yesterday), so I quickly stopped at SC this morning and they gave me a Model S 100D for the day while they checked it out. Repaired same day, and got my 3 back at 5pm today. We're good to go and it was awesome driving the S for the day.

Finally took delivery today in Houston. Inspected the car as best as I could, and everything checked out fine, except for that one tire was not detailed for some reason. However, they quickly fixed that. Also, I had smudges on my screen that I could not easily wipe off so I thought something...

Took delivery today. My MVPA also said 50 miles but it had 4 miles when I picked it up so that is just a placeholder I guess.

I am scheduled to take delivery at the Houston-North delivery center tomorrow 6/27 at 5pm. I paid on 6/12 and I was starting to get worried because of the end of quarter and I had not heard from them to confirm the delivery tomorrow. Also, as of last Wednesday, the car was still in CA...

Update: ISA has been excellent throughout! Pumped!! Reserved: 3/31/16 (online) Invited: 4/13/18 Configured: 4/19/18 Dreaded "July" delay email: 5/20/18 VIN 239XX (HPWC); 6/1/18 (confirmed on Final Price Sheet) ISA contact: 6/8/18 (Email - Alisha in Las Vegas) Delivery: Scheduled on...

I experienced the same blank page yesterday but it was fixed by mid day today. I spoke to my ISA on the phone today and she said it was a website glitch affecting everyone, and they were aware of it.

when did you get your VIN? I got mine yesterday, and was naively hoping to get contacted today but crickets!

Well, Happy Friday! Just got VIN'd within the last 3 hours since I last checked earlier this evening. Noticed "Edit" button disappeared on my account page, then went to HPWC trick which had nothing until now, but it finally appeared! Reserved: 3/31/16 (online) Invited: 4/13/18 Configured...

This is a ridiculous thread but I still felt compelled to chime and say that

Yep. Just got the email. Configured 4/19. I guess we just keep waiting....

Looks like a Sport wheel VIN was finally assigned again today in Sugar Land, TX? Finally!!

Looks like a Sport wheel VIN was finally assigned again today, in Sugar Land of all places? Thank god we are back on sport again!!
