    California HOV Sticker Photos.....Show your placement

    THANK YOU! I’m awaiting my terrible purple decals and seeing the various messy applications on other Model 3s makes my eyes bleed. I’m ok putting them on and I just want it to look right!

    Biggest Positive and Negative Surprises About Model 3 AWD Performance Version

    I’ve had mine for a month now, and mostly use it for a heavy traffic, 70mi+ round trip daily commute. I love everything about the car, but if I had to pick one—Autopilot is amazing. It’s a small travesty to say that about a P3D+ because I could have gotten that experience for $54k rather than...

    Switch to Silver?

    Silver is amazing on my P3D+. Some quick reasons: Color masks dirt, dust, swirls, scratches, nicks, dings — very hard to see any of those Reduces your car’s cooling load Subjective, but: I like that it makes the chrome finishes (window trim and door handles) stand out less. I’m not a chrome...

    Norcal Bay Area Model 3 Tint/PPF Group Buy

    It's not an official package, but Alex quoted me $2000 today for ceramic (4 layers of 9H) and side + rear tint -- $345 off the normal price. I drop the car off on Saturday, excited to see how it turns out when I come back.

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    Mea culpa, time for some corrections regarding my Fremont Delivery Experience last weekend. 1) Tesla actually included the mobile connector and J1772 adapter for my Model 3 at the delivery event. I could have sworn that the frunk was empty, but I happened to open it this morning and there it...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    [Moderator edit: The statement about the J1772 below was erroneous and is corrected down thread. The member who posted this asked for it to be corrected.] For anyone taking part in an upcoming delivery event, make sure that you get all of the accessories that are supposed to come with your car...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    Thanks for the suggestion! I’m nearly certain that it was empty, but I’ll double check on my way to work this morning. Unfortunately my parking spot is temporarily a few blocks from my home…

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    It’s fair to say that the delivery experience yesterday was pretty rushed. For example — I just discovered this morning that they didn’t include any of the charging adapters for my Model 3. Hoping that my local showroom in SF can hook me up.

    Pickup M3P+ today!

    Coincidentally I also picked up today in Fremont too -- almost the same configuration. I was never contacted and never received a delivery date, but I showed up first thing at the delivery experience event on Kato Road and managed to figure out the game before a silver P3D+ was gone. Did you...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    Terrific post -- definitely aligns with my assessment of the event. While it was raw and rushed, the employees were individually competent, positive, and helpful. The critical missing element was communication about the process. It would have been hugely illuminating if they had avoided the...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    I didn’t check the sticker too closely. I just sort of used the red brakes as an indicator. Were you able to get set up with your car?

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    They are flying through my paperwork. I think this is a sign and drive situation - at no time has there been a Tesla employee standing with me as I look at the car I picked. Fingers crossed that nothing obvious appears. The contracts specialist I’m working with just shared that they expect to...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    I feel your pain. They did not have their system down when they opened the doors. People who just showed up get the correct information, but if you showed up early and waited patiently you wound up overlooked. :rolleyes:

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    I am at 47400 Kato and am in the middle of finishing my purchase. The entrance is in the middle of the huge warehouse building though, not at the end of the building where the street number sign is.

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    US Bank approved my loan (3.6%, 72 months, 10% down) nearly instantly. Now waiting for contracts. When I was perusing the lot I noticed that none of the available vehicles had EAP or FSD. A Tesla employee in the lot told me that can be added and I will get a reprinted Monroney sticker too.

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    I can confirm that applying for Tesla financing on-site is possible. The Tesla advisor says it will add 30-40 minutes. She also said that the Tesla finance team is standing by (off site).

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    Classic ad hoc tesla. :rolleyes: I was one of the first through the doors and sat patiently and waited for 90 minutes, because there was supposed to be a matching advisor setting me up. I finally approached one of the employees and she confided that I could just go out into the lot and see if...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    If they ever talk with me again ;) yes I will. I'm planning on doing the same -- currently set up as cash but I'm willing to fall back to Tesla financing instead of a more competitive CU rate.

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    Some more details: The couple next to me was looking for a white/white AWD. The delivery advisor didn't have their configuration at a local lot -- they're not limiting themselves to the inventory that's outside in front. The delivery advisor offered to get them a different color combination if...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    Maybe 30 people here at 9a. Passed about 15 car transporter semis, parked empty on the side streets around here, on the way in. Tons of vehicles in the lot out front including a silver metallic performance that hopefully works for me. After checkin, they directed me and others to the lounge...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    I was also planning on financing though I can afford to pay cash. I'm kicking myself for not applying for the loan approval earlier. I agree that it seems incredibly irregular. If you show up Saturday morning and they don't have your car ready, are they going to scramble through the lot to get...

    Model 3 Delivery Experience in Fremont

    I've been a longtime lurker here, anxiously refreshing my edit-design link as my P3D+ delivery timeline inches closer and closer. While I was at dinner tonight with my husband, Tesla sent an invite: Your Invitation: Model 3 Delivery Experience Tesla Delivery Center 47400 Kato Road Fremont...
