The article makes many false claims. I'll just point out one false claim below. No, all buyer of Model S do not all eventually receive a hefty estimate for a battery pack replacement like the article claims.

Hey does this have the bluetooth TMPS or the old TPMs? Very interested in buying, can drive over next weekend to pick them up.

This happened last year as well. AWD and Mid Range saw a bunch of price changes in November and December. Then in January when demand slowed to a crawl, Tesla slashed prices.

Buy a spray bottle from Dollar Tree for $1. Put in 90% rubbing alcohol in spray bottle, you can also get that at Dollar Tree. When it is cold, use spray bottle to de-ice the car.

Thank you for realizing that performance owners need a huge check cut to them from Tesla.

You're asking about used model 3 vs new model 3. Do you need to pay destination fee for a used model 3? No. So you need to include it in the new price.

What are your rebates? Base SR+ starts at 39450+1200 delivery fee.

Ok let me explain then. The Premium Connectivity was part of a car's cost of goods sold. So tesla was factoring it into the price of the car. Now that they are removing the feature from the price of the car, their gross margins will increase. Thus, it will improve profits.

A car with PPF that has been detailed, I would value at 1-2K more.

Let's go to the 10-Q to see what is included in their cost of sales. Remember, Revenue - Cost of sales = Gross Profit. Cost of automotive sales revenue includes direct parts, material and labor costs, manufacturing overhead, including depreciation costs of tooling and machinery, shipping and...

$120/year is a revenue stream. They are in fact increasing earnings by charging for the service. In prior years, the accounting and gross margin would factor in the free unlimited connectivity. Now it is not.

Yes what he missed was the colon after premium connectivity. It's actually pretty easy to miss since there is no bullet points and nothing is shifted to the right.

It definitely can't be buffed. Maybe touched up a bit with paint but that's not a good resolution. I would stop by a service center tomorrow and order a bumper, it may take a bit for you to get the part! You can probably EBay your old bumper for around $300-400. Remember, you can always choose...

Ah I saw the pics. Definitely can't be buffed out. You should do a bumper replacement.

It's best to calm down. Be glad it's the bumper! You can get a new painted bumper from Tesla for about 1k, Unpainted goes for about $350 to $450. So that's probably the maximum cost you will be paying. If it were me, I would ask for $1k from the guy and just get the car wet-sanded, buffed, and...

You can get a new Black/Black sleeper for 51K after tax credits and delivery fee. So 48K sounds like a fair offer.

A 24k mile 2017 P100D Model X with FSD and Free Supercharging should fetch 85k. People here like to lowball. Honestly, it might be better for you to sell your X then buy a used 3.

Ok so I got PDR done on my door dent. Went to Dent Craft in North Reading, he said he had done Model 3s before. I'll post the website below. TLDR, he transformed a door dent that was noticeable from 2 feet away to a dent that looks like a touched up rock chip. It wasn't perfect, but I was...

Again I have to call you out. Read your exact quote below. No mention of autopilot included in the price for a new car. Yet you included the extra hardware new buyers don't get. I have again proved that you are math challenged, but at least you gave it a try.

You are really not that bright are you? Or intentionally hiding the free autopilot new cars get. When they sold that option, the full price was $3000.

Wetsand->Compound->Polish. $30 of mats and you won't even remember it's there.

I'm in contact with someone who says they have done Model 3s before. Will let you guys know how it turns out.

Anyone know a good PDR guy for Model 3? Have a small door ding. I am confident enough to Bondo and repaint myself but would rather keep everything stock.

Nice. How though? Also, how did you deal with the warnings after?

Strange that you would do that. It's such a hassle to turn them off every time. There is no Auto-Off button. But to each his own.

Would probably follow the Long ranged curves proportionally.

Hint, there is space in there, and it's not "on top of the raised/curved part behind the wheel". Go find it.

Note that there is space between the wheel and the dash. Monitors are flat these days. But you are one that constantly can't think outside the box even if your life depended on it. We call those people ... clowns. As I said, in low light situations, the fail-over is to torque the wheel...

Glad you've given up after being wrong so much.

And with Cadillac system, you could park a 32 inch monitor behind the wheel and it won't be able to spot you watching a movie. At this point, you're just reaching.

OpenPilot uses just a regular camera. So it can be done. In fact, Tesla can have two independent forms of verification, torquing the wheel OR viewing looking at the road. If you are wearing glasses or it can't detect your eyes, you will need to torque the wheel.

Agreed. If it's $1k for PPF and install, then it might be worth it to get your car polished and detailed, then apply a PPF.

Great that you got it fixed. From your pictures, I can tell that your car has serious case of orange peel. The repainted part looks way better than the stock parts.

2 Gen 1 fobs here. Going to make big bucks!

Perfect!

Yes it's a bug for media in general. USB music also hangs sometimes.

See if you can wash and buff out the scrape. Looks like clear coat damage. For the black line ... any fix will be imperfect.

Because Tesla has a history of raising and then lowering it.

Don't know what cruising is. However, coasting is more efficient than regen if you do it right. If you have enough room to coast to a stop, it beats regening to a stop 100% of the time. Entropy. Second law of thermodynamics. As for charging, the model 3 SR+ would charge at 30 miles per hour. In...

Better to wait. Most sales happen in that last week.

Will increase by 1K then drop in a few months. Don't sweat it.

Great that you disagree. However you should really do your research on why lithium batteries die and how to prevent it.

Again, it's about time spent at 100%. So if you have one sick day where you leave it at 100%, it's ok. Regen braking in some cases can be considered less efficient, especially when you can coast.

What does this mean.

If you have an SR+ and set your car to charge to start charging to 100% 4 hours before you head out, you would be in the same scenario. Battery degradation won't matter much since it is time spent at 100% that really matters for battery degradation (due to parasitic reactions).

Model year matters.

Tesla voice commands needs a full time developer.

I prefer black, but don't like the dash. I may think of trying to source a white Dash from tesla. They don't like selling me parts though -_-.

Haha, not sarcastic at all. I see you've owned for 3 months. Give it a year. Launches from a red light will seem meh.

2020 Roadster would be better, would it not? Agree that Model 3 Performance feels slow. Have had it almost a year, not impressed with the acceleration anymore.
