    Scratch Repair

    If you are very nitpicky about your car, then right before you drop it off, take as many pictures as you can of the car both inside and out. Wouldn’t hurt to make a video showing the condition you are dropping it off in. Better yet, have someone at the delivery center do a walk around with you...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Hi skrtskrt, Unfortunately, that is the issue. Some experience very little noise, while others (like myself) experience terrible noise. If you read the tirerack reviews carefully, some rave about how quiet they are, while others make a point to talk about how noisy they are. There is a quality...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    For all still considering the AS3+, I did a bit more digging as I ended up with a very loud hum/vibration at highway speeds with these tires installed on my 20" rims. Below is the link to user reviews on consumer reports, though I may be the only one experiencing the issue on these forums, I am...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    To all that got the AS3+ ok their 20’s, what is the noise level at around 70mph+? With music off and windows rolled up. I have this loud hum that’s very noticeable. Seems like I’m the only one that has this issue. Sounds like when you drive over blacktop that’s about to be repaved and the top...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Just to give an update on my AS3+ experience. I was the one who did not find these tires to be as quiet/comfortable as the 4S tires that came with the 20” wheels. My main issue is the road noise at highway speeds. There is a loud wurr sound accompanied with some slight vibration. This points to...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    My personal experience with my local (NJ) service centers is the following: 1. Tesla will not swap out the 4S tires with another tire for you. They don’t currently have any all-season tires available for the 20” wheel. I had Tesla lift my car up and give me the wheels, which I then took to a...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Yeah, I saw your earlier post and wanted to add my experience. Maybe there’s something else going on with my car if I’m the only one with seemingly more noise/vibration. I’m taking it in for service in a couple weeks for the road howl, it’s that bad. Around town, bumps would not cause my windows...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Yeah, that's what it should be! I was just noting that my 4S were higher, yet the AS3+ felt stiffer.

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Interesting read, thanks! I was aware of the foam in the tires, which the AS3+ do not have from tire rack, but I did not expect the difference to be as noticeable as it is. My 4S were set to 45PSI, these are at the appropriate 42PSI. I’ll continue driving on them as there’s not many other...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    I just put on the AS3+ on my P3D+, swapped out the stock 4S for these. I seem to have a different experience than others who have done the same swap. I find the tires to be much stiffer, this is more noticeable on roads that aren’t smooth. It’s so bad in fact, the car will vibrate and I can...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    Yeah, to 80% every night. First few days I got 248 miles, then 247, and now 246 miles at 80%

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    Mine is still at 246 at 80%, drive < 20 miles daily and plug in every night. Almost at 400 miles now, not too concerned for now, never charged to 100%.

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    When new, it used to charge to 80% with 248 rated miles. This matches perfectly with what was expected since that is exactly 80% of the full 310 mile range. After a week of ownership, it now charges to 246 miles at 80%. I plug in every night with the UMC to a NEMA 14-50 socket. Car has a bit...

    Delivery of car that looks like it went through sandstorm

    Agreed. It’s one thing to be in delivery hell, but this is unacceptable. It takes maybe 10 minutes to give a car a good look-over both externally and internally. There’s no reason why any customer should have to see a car in this condition. Even if it’s a few dirt marks on the inside, it’s not...

    Model 3 Performance VIN Discrepancy

    Press on the T on the screen. There should be a red line underneath the Dual Motor. That indicates performance. If it doesn’t have the red underline, talk to the delivery specialist. Someone else on here was missing it and it was a matter of updating the firmware.

    Why is Tesla building Model 3 “inventory” cars?

    It’s not just RWD inventory cars. I rejected my delivery and got matched up with an inventory car with identical specs, just had to be shipped to my local SC!

    Outside delivery ?

    My first delivery attempt was also outside, but thankfully no rain that day so I could inspect closely, which turned out to be necessary! I’ll also be there this Tuesday for my next attempt, also expecting it to be outside, but the forcecast doesn’t look favorable this time around. With that...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    The picture almost makes it seem like the glass itself was filed down too much and unevenly. Hope that excess can just be removed if it’s on top. o_O

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I did, but I had to reject it unfortunately due to a crack in the rear glass:( Wrote up my experience earlier in this thread, page 58. Hope yours goes smoothly!

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    Big day came and went yesterday. Was excited to pick up my car as you can all imagine. There was a twin right next to it, VIN only a few before mine. Waited around a bit for the paperwork, which took about 10 minutes. I signed everything but the delivery acceptance as I wanted to go over it...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I can finally say my wait is coming to an end. Got a delivery date of Friday September 14th scheduled! Originally ordered AWD on 5/20, then switched to P3D+ on June 23rd (prior to price decrease and introduction of P3D variant, which was a nice surprise!) VIN 72xxx. I’m on mobile so I’ll have to...

    Performance Package range, skidpad, braking numbers?

    There was an article for a review of the P3D+ (with Performance upgrade), I don’t have the link, but it might have been Car & Driver. They said the braking distance (with the upgraded 4-pot brakes) was on par with the BMW M3. Edit: Sorry, it was road and Track, here’s the article. Tesla Model 3...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    Looks like all the Blue P3D+ have been part of a large batch. Mine is also 72XXX, but I have yet to officially get my VIN or contact from a delivery specialist. Either way, great to see tons of movement, congrats!

    Time Until Contact after Edit Button Disappears?

    You’ve had the edit button/inability to modify your order for over a month? If you do cash/trade-in, the edit button disappears, but doesn’t mean your car is actually in production. If it’s been a month since you’ve been unable to modify, that’s insane!
  26. ghostbusta

    Time Until Contact after Edit Button Disappears?

    We’re in a similar boat, though I have a VIN and have been waiting a few days less than you. I called today and my advisor was also offline according to the rep. I wouldn’t mind so much, except I’ll be out of the county for 2 weeks next week and would like to at least schedule delivery...

    Time Until Contact after Edit Button Disappears?

    I’ve been waiting for almost a week. I was no longer able to edit last Sunday. I’m in the same batch as others with the same build, yet some have delivery dates already, including on my coast! Some get calls right away, others don’t. I also can’t enter loan/trade-in info either. Not sure if that...

    Rep say I have VIN - can't tell me what it is..

    I believe they will tell you 7 days before delivery. Just to add another data point, I also called once my edit link took me back to my main account page. The first 2 reps would not give me the VIN, but the 3rd did. I just called once a day starting on Sunday, they also told me who my delivery...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I actually do have a VIN for a DBM P3D+ with black interior. I got it from the customer support line, but I never wrote it down, either 72xxx or 73xxx. I’m waiting for the “official” e-mail/call from the delivery specialist to update the tracker. Was told I should get something by today, but...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I called the regular Tesla customer suppport line and was told I had been assigned a VIN and a delivery specialist. They wouldn’t tell me the VIN though (maybe it’s not available yet). I haven’t been able to modify since Sunday. Still no call/email, but was told to expect something by Wednesday.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I was definitely able to edit earlier this week. Tried the edit page again today and it just went back to my normal page. I haven’t had the edit button ever since I switched to no trade-in (was already cash). Just now I called Tesla to ask about my account and I was told I have been assigned a...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    Did your edit button also just go away? Or did you have cash/no trade-in so you haven't had it since you confirmed? Also, congrats!! Glad to finally see some movement!

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    If his is OBP instead of standard black then it may just be the run that was previously mentioned on Electrek. Though, seeing people have the finance/trade-in options available is also good sign!

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    At this point, some deliveries are already set for early September, so I’m guessing it’ll be mid to late September before any of us get our cars.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I saw a post on the Tesla reddit (was buried in the commments somewhere) that AWD’s were not being produced this week due to part shortages. This was told to them by someone at Tesla. Don’t know the validity of this claim, but what’s another week right? Obviously they’re saving that best P+s for...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    The black/black P3D+ may be part of the obsidian black pearl batch that was recently kicked off, just like Fred’s car from Electrek. Hoping that means other batches (colors) of black interior P3D+ cars are getting kicked off soon as well!

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    Of course, thinking I'd get my P3D+ sooner... not predicting the black interior would be the last config they'd make. I have a trip coming up in late August and it's looking like my delivery window will be while I'm away meaning I'll have to give up the car and wait yet again :eek: Note: I did...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    Are the fronts 4 or 6 pot brakes? What about the rear? 2?4?

    Blue colored Performance + nowhere to be found yet?

    Yeah, was all filled out on 5/20. I was within the first 100 at my local store. Hopefully it’s just a matter of getting the paint shop to switch over to blue once they make every other color!

    Blue colored Performance + nowhere to be found yet?

    3/31/16 line reservation, non-owner, east coast 5/20 config blue AWD 6/23 changed to P-AWD w/ black interior (before floodgates opened) 6/27 price automatically went down, new config reflected Performance + performance package 7/24 Still nothing... I don't even have the new confirmation page and...

    Blue colored Performance + nowhere to be found yet?

    Those are renders and all the blues delivered so far have been the darker shade, but one could always hope!

    Blue colored Performance + nowhere to be found yet?

    I think he means those of us that ordered a P+ blue Model 3 have yet to see any traction with our orders :/

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Thought I saw someone on /r/TeslaMotors/ say they got the e-mail to prepare for delivery, but it was a non-P blue AWD. Hopefully some blue P's start to show up this coming week!

    May AWD/Performance Orders -- VIN / Status Thread

    Configured Blue AWD 5/20 Changed to P on 6/23 (before the price decrease) so my config is now the P with Performance package. First time I'm seeing an estimate: Estimated delivery: Aug. '18 - Oct. '18 Line-waiter, non-owner, east coast.

    First dual motor performance Model 3 rolls off the line

    Dang, you are right. I didn’t even notice the teeth on that grainy image. Thanks for pointing it out! Now I have to rethink whether I should change my order to the P3D. Wish I knew what else was different to justify the $23k difference. Maybe Elon wasn’t just hyping it up when he said track, he...

    First dual motor performance Model 3 rolls off the line

    What makes you think these brakes are different, other than that color? Seems like the same 4-por calipers as in the regular version, just painted red. I realize these are the bigger 20” rims, but the brakes don’t seem different.
  48. ghostbusta

    P Options and Value

    This is the reason I configured for the dual motors as opposed to the performance model. There simply isn’t enough information for me to warrant spending the extra money. As far as I can tell for certain, it’s only the spoiler, bigger rims, binned motors, and essentially P-specific...
