    Any stories of smokin' an unsuspecting car yet?

    I was driving with a friend in his P3D and we raced a Ferrari 458 from a light to about 80. Ended up a near tie as he edged closer and closer as we got to the top end. Regardless, he was shocked when we stopped at the next light.

    What cars have you owned before your Model 3?

    2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee (owned 2009-2013) owned 2014 Mercedes C250 (2014-2016) lease 2015 Mercedes C300 (2016-2017) lease - new job so had to dump early for more miles 2018 Infiniti Q50 Sport (2017-Oct 2018) lease - sold privately for about a $500 loss to get the Tesla before the tax incentive...

    Did the Mid-range and Long-range prices dropped $2900??

    I also want to touch on this. I was waiting for the Standard model but honestly, didn't read much into what features it would and would not have. When I accompanied a friend of mine to the Tesla Store to test drive his car (he purchased a M3P+) the adviser mentioned that, in addition to...

    Did the Mid-range and Long-range prices dropped $2900??

    I can get behind this. Sure, price cuts suck since they'll affect us one way or another in the future. I certainly didn't buy my 3 expecting it to hold its value, but I at least hoped it would follow a standard depreciation curve, which with $2250 in price cuts so far (LR RWD Blue no EAP), it...

    Blindspot beep?

    Why is this so hard for Tesla? Two attempts now at a normal blind spot monitoring system. Just have it beep if you turn the blinker on and someone in is your blind spot like every other car with this feature does.

    Why did you purchase a Model 3 and what were your other options?

    I wasn't really shopping for one TBH. I was in the middle of an Infiniti Q50 Sport lease. My roommate picked up his Model 3P in Oct, so I started looking around at my options as I wanted to take the full tax credit. Did some math and determined that the Model 3 would actually SAVE me about...

    My Solution to the Blind Spot Problem

    I came from a rather base level MB C300 before I got my Tesla. The ONE thing I miss from that car (well two, I found the interior in that car to be of higher quality - not presentation) is the blind spot monitoring. I didn't even think about it when looking at the Tesla, I just assumed that with...

    TECO Energy Saver Program (Tampa Bay area)

    Opposite for me. Two people in my household and we're both out of the house from 730AM - 5PM. The AC is set to shut off at 7AM and come back on at 415PM, so it's off most of the day. My only concern with the TOU rates are that TECO can change the rates at any time they desire, which is...

    TECO Energy Saver Program (Tampa Bay area)

    Comparing this year to last, looks like the cars (we have two Model 3s) are costing us about $70/month in electricity at 10c/kWh. I drive about 250 miles a week, my roommate maybe 20% less. The AC is the biggest contributor to the power bill, but the cars are certainly in 2nd place now.

    Supercharger - Riverview, FL

    Ugh, we need one in North Tampa (Wesley Chapel/New Tampa), not a second one in Brandon. Hopefully this WC one opens up in the next couple of months.

    TECO Energy Saver Program (Tampa Bay area)

    Anyone here sign up for TECO's Energy Saver program? Looks like I'm currently .10/kWh and it looks like Energy Saver brackets usage times, so they're lower at night, which is when the cars charge and the AC runs (after 6PM when we get home). Has anyone signed up yet? I'm curious to see what it...

    What's the ideal wheel size you want for your Model 3

    I decided to take the risk and put on some Ambit FC10s. Ambit doesn't have the best reputation in the industry (for their original rims), but $700 for a set of 4 20s is unbeatable. Been riding on them for about two weeks now with no issues, but luckily I feel a bit better with them in Florida...

    Future Wesley Chapel Location?

    I tried emailing the county too, no response. Living up in New Tampa, the free supercharging isn't particularly helpful lol. With my luck, the WC supercharger will open right as my free supercharging expires. On another note, the one down on 41 only gives me about 140 miles per hour in charge...

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    Is there an update on the Wesley Chapel location? Getting close to the end of the year, and I don't think we even know it's exact location yet.

    WTB Model 3 19 inch wheels (4).

    What you feel they're worth and what their market value are, clearly are very different. Good luck finding them for less than $1,000, let alone $400.

    FS: Model 3 18" Aero Wheels and Tires + Aero Caps + Cap Kit

    I could, but I would have to sell the wheels alone for $900. Selling tires on their own is a huge pain in my past experience and end up sitting around for months and months until someone buys them for a couple hundred.

    WTB: 19" Sport Wheels

    I'm open to it, just thought the 20s (with tires and shipping) would be way out of my price range.

    Sounds good, appreciate it. Maybe check Greyhound too, I've read stories of people shipping that way for pretty cheap (and insured).

    Let's talk financing rates

    Try Suncoast if you have them down there. I got 2.75% on a 72 month about 3 weeks ago, but I think rates have gone up to 3% since then. They were great to work with.

    LR RWD/AWD "uncorking" in our futures?

    As RWD owner, I'd be pretty happy about this. If it does happen, I don't think it'll be for quite a while.

    Discount for demo vehicle?

    I just took delivery of an inventory (test drive) unit LR RWD without EAP two weeks ago. I already knew ahead of time and Tesla offered a $1740 discount on the car, so I'd ask for that if you are wanting a test drive unit. The warranty also starts when you take delivery, so technically it's...

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    Interesting. I took delivery on Oct 25th, I wonder when the trial will become available. I couldn't certainly see myself caving after a month if I end up using it more than I think.

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    I'm guessing this wasn't directed at me... I wouldn't say I'm having a hard time keeping a roof over my head. I'm sure there are others that could've afford EAP, but chose not to from a value perspective or they figured they'd get more pleasure using that money in a different way, idk. For me...

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    and THAT is my issue with EAP. $5K is not an insignificant amount of money on a rather quickly depreciating asset. 2K, it would've been a no brainer. If I drove highways all day I think I would've stretched for it, but honestly, I think I would've rather have gotten AWD for the better...

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    Not all of it is but some of it. Autosteer I think I can live without (my friend's made several mistakes in the 15 minute drive we made to dinner last night). TACC is really what I want. I wish they sold that feature separately (cough, or included it as a standard feature as it's not that...

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    I suppose some more details are necessary. I drive about 45 minutes each way to work, only about 10 minutes of that is on the highway, the rest is on two lane windy roads, around residential areas, etc. I also can't think of the last roadtrip I've done, so that's basically a non-issue for me...

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    So I just took delivery of my Model 3 LR RWD last Thursday and love it so far. My buddy took delivery of his P3D this past weekend. I'll admit, having the extra power would be nice, but it just wasn't feasible for me financially. He does though, have EAP. I did however, skip out on EAP. The...

    WTB: 19" or 20" Wheels

    Looking for 19" or 20" wheels to replace my Aeros (tires have ~2k on them). Will either trade + cash or just buy out right. PM me with what you have for sale! Preference is 20", but I'll go for 19s at the right price.

    20" Aftermarket Wheels

    Looking at switching out my Aeros for some aftermarket 20s. Trying to keep the wheels under ~$800 since I'll need to pick up some tires as well. Anyone have any experience with KMC? I love the way the TSW Nurburgrings look but they're rather expensive. I saw someone on one of the Facebook...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3
