I shall give it a read! Thank you!

Yes, definitely a case of analysis paralysis. I wouldn’t have thought about stiffness either had I not read about it. Do you enjoy your MYP? Have you encountered any major issues?

Thank you for the reply. Yes, it does seem like Tesla service in California is going to be impacted based on how many Tesla — let alone Y’s — have popped up on the road in the last few months. Feels like every 3rd car is a Tesla. This doesn’t bother me as no car is unique in SoCal, but I’m sure...

Hi! After weeks of debate and 5 test drives, I reserved an in-stock Blue MYP that I will have to fly to Sacramento from SoCal to pickup. I haven't paid the full amount as i'm beginning to get cold feet after stories of Tesla service and quality issues. What are your long-tine experiences as...

I think its safe to assume that Jaguar Land Rover has absolutely no interest in a super charger network. I don't expect any of the car companies to do what Tesla did with the Super Charger network as its just yet another cost and liability. I would expect the giants that are moving towards...

I'm also likely canceling my reservation and probably going for a (a completely Anti-Tesla car in every way) lease on a Range Rover Velar (I plan to return to Tesla after lease). As Jaguar Land Rover has a horrible reputation in terms of reliability, I would urge you to consider leasing the...

So, the 3-5 month wait pushed me torwards the decision to cancel as I don't have a car due to mine being totaled by a drunk driver -_- . I want to lease for 36 months and return to Tesla; hopefully the Model 3 will be more refined and have more interior options by then. I have a question...

So, I am confused. If you are reservation holder that ordered yesterday, your wait is 3-5 months. If you are a brand new customer without a reservation and you order a Model 3 today, the website says delivery in 4-6 months -- so 1 month after reservation holders. Did they invite ALL...

What year was your Model S? One of the reasons why I'm generally ok with coming back to Tesla in 3-ish years despite the tax credit being gone is that the Model 3 will likely have had its issues refined, as the Model S did with time. Still haven't canceled haha.

I know that the Tesla is a great experience. I gave it more thought today and was teetering on changing my mind. I got the email and decided to check out the builder. My delivery is "3-5" months, which seems the be the case for everyone else. While that is soon, its also a pretty long wait as I...

I've been checking habitually since news broke that they've apparently "opened" the design studio for all remaining day 1 holders. My order date was 4/1 but a May-July delivery. Still have not received an email, nor do I have access to the design studio. I am sure it will be worth the wait...

Man, this wait... The lack of communication regarding ordering and delivery has been frustrating. This is probably not the place to write this but I have to say that all this extra time waiting for May-June invites has given me a chance to give the purchase some intense thought over the past...

Honestly, his simple base argument that Tesla’s Autopilot is unsafe is defeated by the mere fact that there are not many accidents — fatal or not — caused by Autopilot relative to the number of cars out there. Get the data for 100,000 Autopilog Equipped Tesla’s and 100,000 regular cars of any...

You are correct, they SHOULD. However, the mere fact that there are not as many (if any) videos on YouTube of such tests taking place while you are able to find a few videos from their competitors does NOT mean that they do not test nor does it mean that their cars are any less or more safer...

Readers / audiences don't like being manipulated. If you are trying to say that Tesla's Autopilot Feature is not adequately tested, say it out front and don't lead people on. Doing this makes you seem sleazzy and shady. Exactly my thought. Most industry tests are not on YouTube. Just because...

Bit confused as for the purpose of this post. Are we implying that Tesla doesn't test like this? Doesn't test at all? Or just purely talking about how other companies test Autopilot? Oh damn, that is horrible. Poor guy, its like you can hear the bones breaking (hoping that was something else).

They just sent me this randomly. How cruel.

Welp, another week gone by without any invites sent out. However, people on another thread are saying their edit buttons for April orders disappeared last night, so hopefully there is some progress.

Ha, didn't even think of it that way! Maybe we should all tweet at him with a link to this article and a huge "?" icon.

It is nice but to be honest, if I were to wrap it I'd only go matte black or for a color they don't offer. For instance, I'd love this color as I REALLY want Blue, but am not a fan of the Deep Blue. Someone posted it on another thread a while back. I think its a gorgeous color. I just can't...

Don't forget that Elon is on Elon time! In another thread specifically dealing with the May - July window, it was pointed out that they have until next Tuesday, 6/19, to fit within the 6 week window or Tuesday, 7/3 to fit within 4 weeks. So, they could theoretically send out invites soon and...

2007 Mercedes ML350: Liked the car a lot. Wasn't as unreliable as people think, minor issues. Hit 120,000 miles and got totaled by a hit-and-run drunk driver at 2am in San Fran's Mission District as I was returning from a day trip back in August 2016. 2004 BMW 645Ci convertible: fun car, drives...

Giving up the Model 3??

I rented a MSM Model 3. It looks nice; I believe it’s the most versatile color. However, I do also believe it looks boring. If I get chrome delete I plan to do chrome delete and tinting which makes it look very stealthy. I’ll post a photo in a bit. For some reason can’t upload from mobile.

All this time of waiting and I've gone through all the color choices as my "final pick" only to return to MSM. I would have loved blue, but every-time I see it I am put-off at how it appears to be verging on purple and only "blue" under certain angles or light condition. I'll likely be going...

One of the managers at my work got a similar email, he was pissed lol. He hasn't been invited to configure yet though so that probably angered him even more. The email just said they got more orders than expected and that they have to regrettably delay his invite and he will get it in the...

Idk, cautious personality? I’m putting $20k down (money from when a drunk hit and run driver hit me and totaled my car) so I guess there’s no reason for me to be rejected. But still.

Damn, that sucks. And I bet they haven't even given you a call, have they? Mind if I ask if you're paying in cash or financing? I've spoken to my Credit Union -- with whom I have a strong long-term relationship and know people by their first names -- about how taking out a loan would work since...

That's what I said on May 1st!

Welp nothing today, another day closer I suppose.

Lol, for me it’s my immediate family. They joke I’ll get a car from Santa in time for Christmas. Same situation here. Two people in my building have one. A few managers are reservation holders along with me. I can’t count amount of times I get asked if I’ve gotten one yet while waiting in the...

Same. I'm just waiting impatiently. I've even tweeted at Musk with memes regarding when another batch of May-July will get an invite in the extremely small chance he'd reply. Also, I can't stand the dated feel of the cars after having rented a Model 3 on Turo; say what you will about the...

I agree, its 99% due to the tax credit situation and likely 1% due to some April invites having their timeline shifted. One of the managers at my job complained to me that he was a April to June window holder and he got an email last Thursday saying that Tesla got more orders than expected in...

Besides more FSD / EAP features, do we have any idea what else will be included in Tesla Version 9.0?

May - July time frame, Los Angeles area resident here. Haven't been invited yet. I suspect the rumors of Tesla holding deliveries / "sales" until after July 1st to extend the EV credit lifetime are true. But if you consider the 4-6 week estimated delivery window, one could assume invites...

That’s what I’m leaning towards. The longer I wait, the more I keep switching ;p.

Ah well then, question is... blue, red, white, MSM, or silver.o_O

Encouraging but unclear if he’s replying to the Canadians or Americans.

Forgive me for not reading through the 10 pages... How does providing evidence for the tax credit work? Does Tesla provide you with documentation supporting that you are X out of X sold and therefore eligible for the tax credit? I've tried Googling that but not come up with a clear answer. It...

Has anyone in the May - July bracket that has been waiting for a while recently get an invite? Very curious :).

I’m assuming part of the noise intensity is due to the cell phones microphone’s distortion since Randy is saying his experience is that it’s actually very quiet. To me it also sounded very loud, and I drive a convertible soft top BMW from 2004.... But hopefully we’re wrong :).

He’s tweeted it a few times, but most recently in response to the Consumer Reports article that noted it as one of their main complaints. Elon Musk on Twitter To me, reduced means “fixed.” Regarding how I interepreted your video, I wasn’t sure whether it being your first time hearing it was...

Ah, it still seems pretty significant. Overall, in your experience is the cabin noise something that would have turned you off from purchasing the Model 3 if you had known about it before purchasing? Or is the overall experience of the car good enough to tolerate the cabin noise? Sad to see...

I'm disappointed to hear that even with later builds noise is still an issue despite Elon tweeting that its "fixed." So I guess its safe to assume that the cabin noise in a Model 3 is higher than that of its ICE competition, a BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C Class, or Audi A4... darn. Does the Model...

Been reading through the thread and it primarily focuses on installing the Blackvue camera either with a professional or by one's self through a somewhat complicated process. Is there no dash cam that could be plugged into the USB ports and wired by pushing it into the headliner? Or other...

Looking at those photos again, I really like the Red. I was originally going to go with Blue, which seems to be very popular. However, every time I see it, my immediate thought is "its nice, but it looks more navy verging on purple than blue... I want a BLUE car." Then I was going to go with...

I've seen a few in my SoCal neighborhood and on the freeways. I would say its a pretty bold color but not close to pure read at all. It sort of reminds me of a slightly darker cherry. It really pops in the sunlight, I saw one the other day but did not have enough time to take a photo. I think...

I'm just curious about how significant of a problem the cabin noise actually is. Is anyone able to compare between a past/current ICE or EV car with a post-February shutdown Model 3? I'm coming from driving a BMW 646 CI Soft Top Convertible (my normal daily driver got wrecked by a DUI Hit &...

I think the real mystery is why someone would start a thread to ask — theetering on gossip — about the situation of a personal friend that no one on these boards knows. Glad to hear your friend was able to come up with the extra money. Nonetheless, there’s no reason for someone be ashamed if a...
