    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    I was excited to get Christmas update, and now I feel the Grinch stole it and left some junk in its place. 1. when will Tesla accurately portray their blue color? Always lighter than real thing. 2. I miss my map! Looks so tiny now and a huge area of white. 3. I liked the color power indicator...

    how often is mobile service ridiculously late?

    8:30-12:30 window for cabin filter change (tired of car smelling like feet). Tech calls at 12:45 to say he’s running late. Shows up around 1. Nice young guy-hard to be mad at. Checked my charge port and found broken connector (grateful because I didn’t ask for this). Apparently Denver area...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    I understand your doubt. It makes a guy who thought he was pretty up on Tesla appear a little slow. Here’s what I can state truthfully. I paid for a LR AWD EAP Model 3. Couldn’t afford the Performance model. Picked up car on perhaps busiest Model 3 delivery day in history, September 29...

    Tesla model 3 awd lr only getting 286 miles of range at 100% charge

    My September 2018 built Model 3 Stealth P gets to 286 on 100% charge. I have 26,000 miles on it. Range loss happened around a year ago. Debating whether to have Tesla do check.

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    You have exact same story as me. Took delivery of my LR AWD EAP model 3 September 29, 2018-end of Q3 madness. Didn’t realize until January of 2020 that I’ve been driving a Stealth P this whole time. I wanted the Acceleration Boost when I got the email in December, but it wasn’t showing up in...

    Need help deciding between Performance and Long Range Model 3?

    Here's a crazy story. Picked up my LR AWD 3 September 29, 2018. Loved it from day 1. In December 2019, I received an email regarding Acceleration Boost. I'm in! Went to upgrade section of my account, but couldn't find AB. Called Tesla every day for about a month-they couldn't figure out...

    And I thought I got jipped by not getting a die cast Model 3 when I got delivery 9/2018. I really did get lucky.

    How to find a stealth?

    Thanks for the offer, Brother T, but it would be a 1000 mile drive each way. Relocated to Denver in September. Best decision of my life (second is buying my 3). If you’re ever out this way, I gained 111 days of sunshine a year moving here (Denver 300; Chicago 189) and the scenery isn’t too...

    “More Valuable” Stealth Performance Model 3 Unicorn

    I have all the red lines, but because I didn’t pay for Performance I didn’t put 2 and 2 together. I feel like the luckiest guy on earth. Debating whether to go to service center to get red line added to badge. Thoughts? Maybe it’s cooler to be stealth....

    How to find a stealth?

    This was my Tesla agreement. No mention of Performance. Keep in mind that pricing options were different in summer 2018. It’s crazy but I am so thrilled to have a P (even if I went almost a year and a half of wondering how much faster my car could be). The new pricing structure is high...

    “More Valuable” Stealth Performance Model 3 Unicorn

    Thanks for the well wishes. I’ve looked over all my paperwork. I can’t find anything noting Performance. When I went on line for pricing in July 2018 the packages were different. Again, I never knew Stealth existed until this week. I definitely would have ponied up extra to get. The only...

    “More Valuable” Stealth Performance Model 3 Unicorn

    I ordered my 2018 LR AWD with enhanced autopilot in July 2018. Took delivery September 29, 2018 in Highland Park, IL. Have absolutely loved the car. Best purchase ever. On December 18, 2019 I received email from Tesla saying that because I owned a LR AWD, I could purchase Acceleration Boost...

    How to find a stealth?

    Yes, incredibly lucky, especially since I didn’t have to pay anything extra. Greatest news since forever since my dream 3 with P power without the big wheels (especially since I was living in Chicago and would have had countless blowouts). I’m very grateful to Tesla, but wish they would refer...

    How to find a stealth?

    It’s a Model 3! They’re all fast! I’ve never raced another Tesla or timed my 0-60, so I just figured that’s what I had. I guess the red line in my app should have been a giveaway, but why would I think I had a P when I didn’t pay for one? I’m certainly grateful and it definitely is the...

    How to find a stealth?

    I didn't even know what a stealth Model 3 was until yesterday, and that was also the day I found out my LR AWD was a Stealth. Picked up my new Model 3 September 29, 2018 in Chicagoland area. It was Q3 end and an absolute madhouse. No one from Tesla said a word about Stealth at pick up, service...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Thank you for clarifying and my apologies. A little more digging in the forums and I probably would have found my answer a lot sooner. Clearly the people on this forum are way more informed than the average Tesla CS rep. I had to learn the hard way by wasting hours talking to very nice but...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    I’ll consider myself fortunate when I can verify that I actually have the bigger capacity battery. When I do, then I will be eternally grateful for the mix up, although I have spent hours on the phone with CS to absolutely no avail. No one could figure it out. It took the fine people on this...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    This is getting weird. Just spoke to Tesla rep who showed my car in system as P74, which is the Performance LR AWD. I paid $59k 9/29/18 for a LR AWD with enhanced auto pilot. I believe Tesla gave me a Performance Model battery with the regular LR AWD set up (no carbon fiber/spoiler/bigger...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Did you get AWD? That’s the key to getting access to Acceleration Boost. And you will have to pay for it. It’s an opportunity for people like me (LR AWD) to get nearly the power of the Performance Model (and a smart cash grab by Tesla).

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Never really noticed, but there is a red line under Dual Motor on app. That suggests Performance, doesn’t it? I definitely bought LR AWD. What does this mean?

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Wow, this comment shows a complete fundamental lack of understanding of the Model 3. The LR AWD is the same car as the Performance model, minus the bigger brakes/wheels. Tesla locks up/restricts battery power in the LR AWD so they can charge more for the Performance Model. The Acceleration...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Acceleration Boost still not available as upgrade on website, but did speak with Support who recognized the problem and forwarded to another department. I do have Track Mode now for some reason. Think it happened in recent update. I received about 10 updates over last month and a half.

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Got my email notifying me of available Acceleration Boost for my LR AWD on 12/19. Have checked update section of My Account every day since but still not available. Tesla, why won’t you let me give you $2000?

    Congrats! Sorry I missed you. Was looking for someone dressed all in red......your car looks gorgeous! Great shot. Sorry you had to wait so long. Not sure why I got pushed through so fast, although my original time yesterday went from 1:30 to 6. Did they give you copy of paperwork? Trying...

    I am now a Model 3 owner. Showed up to Highland Park at 5:30 tonight for 6:00pm appointment and found....mass chaos. Showroom packed with people, some with 2pm appointments and no luck. A lot of unhappy campers. I found a rep who could not find me on list, so she disappeared to try and get...

    I’m supposed to take delivery today in Highland Park, IL at 1:30. Got a text last night from HP saying car hadn’t arrived at location yet, but it was still due to come in today. Not sure what that means as far as delivery today. Rumor is there are 171 deliveries in HP today. That seems like...

    Yikes. I’m sure it will all work out, but I’m now really getting nervous about my Saturday Highland Park delivery. Trade in offer was in fair range (especially with credit on sales tax) so I think I’m ready to go, but you just never know with Tesla. Like I told Tesla the first time they...

    Just read interesting article online with Elektrek about Tesla desperately trying to move inventory vehicles unmatched to customer orders by end of Q3. If you don’t have a VIN and want a 3 quickly, maybe worth a call to Tesla and request inventory sheet to pick from.

    Spoke too soon. I’ve been delayed! Just until Saturday afternoon, 9/29 at 1:30. I suspect you’ll be in the same boat. Let’s hope the delivery people in Highland Park are efficient, the cars are in good shape and everyone can get on the road where those cars belong!

    Highland Park. Guess I’ll see you there! I get to drive my new car all of about 15 minutes before I drop it off at detailer for tinting, paint correction, ceramic coating and paint protection. Have to drive my 2009 Acura TSX for a few days after that. That will be torture.

    We’ll see. I’ll go to Carmax day before to have quote in hand, but I understand Tesla is usually pretty fair AND you get to deduct price of trade in from sales tax for extra savings. I love my VW GTI (just found out that’s what Mark Zuckerberg drives), but I’ve moved on.....

    I’ve been through two non-responsive DA’s until I called the 800 number and got a delightful, helpful woman in Vegas customer service named Jennifer. She followed up with emails, called my DA’s supervisor to get new DA (other one MIA). Final step is trade in info and photos. SMS link didn’t...

    I think I’m finally getting somewhere with shoring up delivery.

    Congrats! VIN number? Who was your delivery assistant? Hope to see you there, if my delivery assistant ever confirms my 9/24 delivery date. We’ll have to get a quick drag race in before I drop off at detailer same day (don’t trust that soft paint in Chicago!).

    Unfortunately no idea. Haven’t heard one word from my DA since she said I couldn’t get VIN until I scheduled date of delivery. I’ve sent requested date/time and asked for confirmation but no word. Nothing has changed on my Tesla account.
