Try deflating the tires to like 38 - 40psi.

I feel bad for the sales people but who needs them when the prices are fixed. And knowing that hundreds of thousands of people were willing to put down a deposit even before the car was revealed kind of tells that people are comfortable bypassing the dealer altogether.

I am like another price drop! But after comparing my Pearl White RWD Long Range Premium to the new price, I am okay with it, especially after almost a year of joy owning a Model 3. Being an early adopter has its prices but not so bad after considering the tax credit. Here is a quick comparo...

Haha, good for you. Hopefully they can produce RHD vehicles soon.

I see regular cruise control with + and - buttons (or can use the right scroll wheel). I didn't see any function for adaptive cruise.

I think you need to say that it only cost $xx extra per month and it's like 70% cheaper then getting a Porsche Turbo for same power, so money well spent. She made me clean up bird poops yesterday!

My old E46 M3 is still going strong. It's just so much fun. re: Model 3 - I think the mats are really cheap material. It feels like they belong in a Mitsubishi. Good thing all-weather mats are coming on my way and cover them up.

Little background: My wife and I never owned a Tesla or drove one before. I, like hundreds of thousands of people around the world, put down a deposit without seeing the unveil on 3/31/16 (I was around #12 inline in Paramus). Then I watched the unveil and the car looked much better than I...

Got one yesterday @ Springfield, NJ.

I made the ACH payment late afternoon the day b4 delivery. The payment gets updated by Tesla instantaneously while it may get debited from your account a day or two later.

Wow, that's sweet like Belgian chocolate!

Ok, I just spent $15 more for the Gyeon prep.

This sounds to me like typical Elon talk and I read it like it is still being developed (for further capacity expansion) and it is not yet here and ready to be installed.

Some interesting details from my read: 2,270/week Model 3 production before April pause. 9,766 produced, 8,180 Model 3 delivered in Q1. (Total of 29,997 deliveries for S3X) Model 3 is already on the cusp of becoming the best-selling mid-sized premium sedan in the US (compares to BMW 3 series...

Great video. You made me spend money! I bought: Griot's Garage Random Orbital Kit, 6' from Pep Boys - $128 + tax Gyeon Q2 Pure Ceramic 50ml from eBay - $115 Meguire's M205 Polish ($25) and Griot's Orange Pad ($12) from Advanced Auto Parts Mothers Clay Bar System from Amazon - $15 My car...

I bought a new HPWC off of eBay with 20% coupon = $420. I called around and got quotes of $2,200 - $2,350 from 3 different electricians for about 95ft wiring installation. Too much! I bought 100ft of 4 guage romex wire, circuit breaker, etc. for about $500 from an electrical supply store. I...

Looks like your wife and my wife will have the same cars very soon. Bring the Model 3 to a mall or a nice restaurant with a valet parking, uber home and then later you go on a date to the mall/restaurant. Once you guys are finished, let the valet bring the Model 3 (that's if you trust the valet).

Old M3 for me, new Model 3 for the wife.

I am noticing long lines of cars (I don't understand people waiting like 10 minutes just to put gas that's like 10c/g cheaper) at these two cheaper gas stations around my area. I haven't seen that in couple of years. This means gas prices are getting up there. EVs should become more...

The "wife mode"!

Tesla Model 3 — Already #1 In Small & Midsize Luxury Car Sales? (USA) | CleanTechnica

Good read.

My ISA has been top notch. I received a call shortly after the VIN assignment. Every time I email her with questions, I receive a call back within 15 minutes. There are good apples and bad apples. Two weeks 'til my delivery. Can't wait.

So I got quotes from 4 places and they ranged between $1,900 - $2,350. While it's a long run (about 95 ft), it's through unfinished part of basement and garage. These electricians sure charge a lot for labor. I watched some more YouTube videos and decided to go get 4 gauge Romex wires (100...

I visited Short Hills Mall today. They had hundreds of these ready to be given away. I saw a lot of interest in Model 3 and it will probably be packed tomorrow and Sunday. They had a red Model 3 VIN ending F006267.

What happened to all the fake stick on grille designs? I guess all are happy with the final front end?

Hopefully someone can measure for us. I am going to guess "long" but don't want to guess. Paging PoitNarf! I want to order this and some accessories from RPM to get ready for delivery hopefully at the end of the month.

Mine is back as well. Same 157XX.

At least 3 East Coast soon to be White Sport owners were assigned VIN 137XX last week then taken away for some reason. This new assignment tells me they didn't remove the VINs for some parts/quality issue, at least.

I enjoy going to the annual NY auto show and this year featured a lot of EV/plug in hybrid vehicles, including Karma with its gimmicky solar roof. I knew Tesla would be a no show but why? Even their cars sell by itself, it would be nice to show up and show off the Model 3 or the Roadster!

So it looks like at least 3 white, sport 157XX VINs disappeared.

No sales tax in NJ for EVs.

This is what I have on my M3 (BMW) and many many people use it on their cars. They've been around many years, tt is very well designed and works great. You do put 2 small holes. Skene Design No Holes Front License Plate Bracket

I just received same 3.24% quote through Tesla > Chase. I am waiting for TechCU's quote. My insurance quote was about $1,100 ($91/m), about $200 higher than other vehicles. Not too bad.

Yeah, probably BS.

I had submitted a loan application in the morning. My ISA called about the approval but when I inquired about the VIN # disappearing, she said they are shuffling some cars so that we can get our cars sooner or as scheduled as the originally assigned car may have taken longer. We will see about...

Thank you for all the information. It looks like there is no real right or wrong answer. I will ponder, get more estimates and go with someone that I am comfortable with.

I am getting some quotes to install HPWC but I am a bit confused (I don't know much about electrical stuff). My home services is 200A. One guy suggested 80 amp line with a disconnect switch. Another guy suggested 60 amp line without a disconnect switch (I read in another post that a...

My VIN disappeared also.

I got the same timeline. Looks like our cars might be on the same truck heading to Springfield, NJ.

Elon needs to get his act together and start sleeping at the mini-3 factory!

I am expecting delivery towards the end of the months. Should I expect a mini-3 or is Elon still working on the "token of appreciation"?

White, sport, no EAP. 3/22 configuration. VIN #157XX on 4/2 or 4/3. Call from ISA on 4/3 Expected delivery on 4/28 She mentioned a lot of cars coming to the East Coast for deliveries. Now I am officially counting the days.

I configured 3/22. White, sport wheels. VIN: 157XX

Thank you! I know, Tesla's process is so random. I ordered Pearl White w/ Sport Wheels. It's actually going to be my wife's car but I am sure I will steal it away from her often.

Finally received the "Your Model 3 is Ready to Order" email at 8PM EST. Configured. Non-owner with Mar - May 2018 estimate. I was about #12 in line on Rt.17 in Paramus, NJ.
