    Supercharger - Savannah, GA

    We're planning on a trip to Savannah in late April, and will need to charge to get back home. It sounds like we may be better off trying to charge at one of the destination chargers in the parking garages downtown overnight. (We're staying near one, and would be paying to park anyway). Can...

    Raleigh, NC waiting room

    @HungryAsian - not us. We're up towards Bonsack, but usually our car is downtown during the week (technically my husband's car, he works downtown). There was another white one that we'd spot on 460 just before we got ours, maybe it's that one. @bkmartin - I'm not far from Vinton, but we're...

    Hey! Another fellow Model 3 owner in Roanoke! If you see a white Model 3 around town, it's probably us. :)

    VA inspection & tire shop in around Sterling or Fairfax

    Who do you use around SML? We're in Roanoke and just got our 3 not too long ago. I'm in need of a good mechanic in general, so we're willing to travel.

    AC back vents blowing warm air

    I tested this last week on a hot day. I could tell a noticeable difference in fan speed and cool air temp once turning off the front foot wells. It's a bit of a pain as it takes climate control off of auto, but the dogs are much happier in the back seat now. :)

    Getting your license plate

    Ours showed up by FEDEX over night, but we didn't need a signature. It most likely depends on the location. I've had success in the past of leaving a note on the door with my signature after missing the first delivery - but it doesn't work every time.

    AC back vents blowing warm air

    We noticed a similar issue the other weekend when we were showing my parents the car. Mom and I were in the backseat, and it was definitely warmer than the front. The rear vent was on, as it started blowing cool/cold air once the A/C temp control was turned down to 64-65. That meant my...

    Charlotte, NC Waiting Room

    @beachbum77 - you are actually incorrect about TX being the only state that you have to prepay for the car. The CLT delivery center in NC does NOT have a sales license, and cannot process paperwork/take payment. I'm also pretty sure @Cjh85 was stating that he hadn't been told about his...

    Raleigh, NC waiting room

    @Knightshade - ours was called a 3rd party delivery as well. I could have it wrong that a Tesla rep was present since I wasn't there, but there was a way to go over minor issues before the delivery driver left, and someone walked through using the key card/phone app to unlock and start the car...

    Raleigh, NC waiting room

    We did a home delivery, and it was fine. We submitted payment by ACH before seeing the car, ran into the delivery issues at Raleigh, and requested a home delivery (since we live 3hrs away). We were in contact with a local CLT delivery advisor (that's where our car was) and he assured us the...

    Driving a Tesla is dangerous (if you have to go back to ICE!)

    My husband and I are sharing our model 3. He drives it most of the time, but I take it to work when he bikes to work. I had it two days in a row, then back to my Subaru (which I used to LOVE!) Ran an errand on my way home from work in the Subie - got out and did remember to lock the door as I...

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    We live in VA and purchased in NC - only paid VA taxes, but ended up with NC temp tags. Temp registration has the correct address. Tesla didn't bat an eye when we chose to pick up in a state other than our "home" state. (Quotes, b/c I'm originally from NC - so it'll always be home)...

    Charlotte, NC Waiting Room

    Leigh is the delivery advisor for Charlotte - working out of the Raleigh location. She's handles paperwork such as your final MVPA and DMV registration/tag applications. We found that she was unresponsive to email, but that you could get ahold of her on the phone at the beginning or towards...

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    My understanding is the delivery manager was gone before the lot was lost. Tesla then flew in delivery managers from other areas for a week at a time to help out. None of those managers were going to be around long enough to secure a new lot. And I'm sure you're aware of the crazy growth in...

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    Yeah the Tesla SC/sales offices in Raleigh are a joke compared to other locations. There is a good bit of room behind the SC building - they can fit about 20-30 cars back there. More than I would have thought by looking at the front, but not nearly enough. And I expect those spots to fill...

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    We did on Friday! We were supposed to take home delivery on 8/11, but got a call on 8/10 that the back window was chipped/cracked. That was fixed on Thurs, 8/16. They called my husband the morning of 8/17 and said the car would be at the house by 2pm on a 3rd party haul truck. They brought...

    Charlotte, NC Waiting Room

    We have our car!! CLT delivery called my husband this morning informing him the car would be coming by a 3rd party hauler, and that it would arrive at the house by 2pm today. That stinker didn't tell me (he gets off early on Fridays) and I was quite surprised when I opened the garage door...

    @Sg911 - I finally got the SC to call me back this evening before they closed. The back window was replaced today, and we should get a new delivery date tomorrow. My guess is it was in service while you were there. Thank you for looking!

    Charlotte, NC Waiting Room

    Can anyone that's heading to CLT confirm that my car is in for service OR that the back window is cracked/not cracked? I know it might be hard to tell... but I'm hoping it's at least near the service bays. We were told the back window was cracked/chipped on 8/11, and haven't been able to get...

    Why I Cancelled My Model 3 Order and am No Longer a Tesla Fan

    We had a similar experience. Delays pushed having the car ready while we were on a scheduled trip. We had already paid for the car and completed the paperwork. Tesla agreed to a home delivery AND that we could have someone else sign to accept the car. We just had to give the DS the name, and...

    Charlotte, NC Waiting Room

    Just looked at my paperwork, and we have VA registration and title. We own two other vehicles that were titled in NC, but we lived there at the time. So I'm not sure if that matters?

    Charlotte, NC Waiting Room

    Ours is sitting out there... White RWD Aero wheels VIN 436xx - and apparently has a cracked back window. :( We were supposed to take delivery 8/4 in Raleigh, but the car was in CLT. Convinced them to do a home delivery since we live 3hrs from Raleigh and 3.5 from the CLT SC. Confirmed...

    Keep calling delivery at CLT (you'll have to get transferred by sales or the Raleigh office). Justin in Charlotte was able to put eyes on our car and confirm it was there and ok.

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    @jmmdownhil - sorry it happened to you too! If we lived closer, we would have waited until the car showed up in Raleigh as well. We've been working with Justin in CLT to get our stuff situated. He had a hard time getting ahold of logistics to confirm if they could get the car on a 3rd party...

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    @Knightshade - I'm not sure. It was pretty much on the road the entire time we were there. I just heard a sales rep telling someone on the phone that they could only make an appt to test drive the 3 if they had an order. @jmmdownhil - sorry you also had not great luck! Brian mentioned that...

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    So the other story we got was that there's was a 2nd storage lot in Raleigh that Tesla was renting - they could fit about 60 cars in it. Landlord sold the lot out from underneath Tesla, and now they have limited storage. There was also some delay in transport trucks not being "released" from...

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    They do have a model 3 to test drive BUT only those that have reserved or configured are allowed to drive it. Otherwise you can sit in it/look around if someone else isn't currently using it.

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    @Sg911 - in case you don't know, the CLT location does not have a sales license. So all paperwork and payment have to be done BEFORE you arrive. Not sure what your pickup date it, but Leigh sent us the paperwork on Thurs at 7pm, asking it to be Fedex-ed back to her. We did that Friday...

    Raleigh (Non) Delivery Experience

    We were on schedule to pick up our Model 3 from the Raleigh delivery center at 1pm on Sat. Took a couple of minutes to get checked in, as this place is tiny and they were hopping with test drives. Start going through the paperwork, and I mentioned that it had already been e-mailed to us by...

    So Unfair...

    Nice! I already have a feeling I'm going to want a Tesla of my own (we pick up my husband's 3 tomorrow)! We can't swing payments for two of them right now though, and my current car is only a few years old. I'd "steal" his, but he's never had a brand new car - and has been waiting forever...

    Has anyone broken through the contracts/paperwork "freeze" yet?

    We pick up in Raleigh on Sat (8/4), and are coming from over 3hrs away. Looks like we need to get on the phone to make sure our car is on the lot, and if they're able to push out a contract on the day of delivery! Between a planned vacation and a work trip we wouldn't be able to pick up the...
