Who knows at this point. It's all very frustrating. I can say that the filter change they just did has eliminated the smell for now and they say they didn't do anything else. I do remember hearing that when this happens the filters don't necessarily look bad or even smell UNTIL they get wet and...

Another update if anyone is interested. About a month ago I sucked it up and had mobile tech out to do another cleaning. Fortunately the tech understood my situation and did it for free. Well about a week ago the smell came back. Worse than ever. Smells light straight vinegar now vs. mild...

After at least a month and a half of no problems, the issue returned for me this morning on 2022.20.8. Only noticed it one long drive this morning, so I'll keep an eye on it. No cruise or autopilot, display doesn't show other vehicles. I haven't had the problem since late June/early July and at...

FWIW, Tesla rep who I've spoken to multiple times on the phone about this issue has said that it doesn't matter for normal use, but he's heard of people saying that turning off recirculate ~5 minutes before arriving at your destination has helped. I can say for me it doesn't seem to matter. Nor...

Update on my service request for this. Tesla scheduled me a mobile visit with a line item of: Model 3/Y HVAC Air Leak Sealing - Engineering Study. This seemed very promising to me. I was thinking they finally found something new to try and are addressing this issue. A couple of days later I got...

Oh yes sorry. I should have mentioned I do that every time as well. I guess it may be possible there is something further in there that I can’t see or reach after removing everything.

I’ve been following this thread closely, but this is my first comment. I have had the problem many times before with my 3 year old model 3, and like many of you I was getting away with doing the cleaning and filter change once or twice a year. After getting it done for free via goodwill the...

Could be related, but that feels like something different. For me, and I believe everyone having this issue, once it’s gone it’s gone for at least that whole drive. The only time it may reset is between drives.

Not that I'm aware of. SR looks like it's going to be SR+ locked, but SR+ is the larger pack with less cells, so charging to 100% would have the same (negligible or otherwise) downsides. I think what Elon is saying is 90-95% is fine regardless of which model you have. The real reason to not...

I live in Austin. I bought AWD strictly for the better performance, when the actual Performance model was just too much more ($10k) to justify. Range wise, for my situation I could get away with a base Nissan Leaf if I had to, so that was a non-factor. If you're already at the top of your...

Good point. And I’m not worried enough to do anything about it either way, but if it were true, it would be the principal of it that bothers me more than the dollar value.

So I'm in the camp of: "I paid what the car was worth and I'm happy with it" even though I've now only had the car for just over a week and the price dropped $1000 ($500 difference in AP and $500 in paint). It happened one day after my return period expired, but that wasn't enough to make me...

Pretty normal. I had a few different dates assigned systematically before I actually got a VIN, and even then the dates changed afterwards. When I finally spoke to my delivery advisor, he told me to basically ignore the systematic dates. That said, it generally means *something* is happening...

I did get my car yesterday (Blue AWD), but I found out that it was just because I got lucky. I'm in Austin and someone in Houston had ordered it a while ago and then couldn't take delivery so it got reassigned to me. 2019 VIN built mid-March. Good luck everyone waiting! I hope yours come through...

I've seen this mentioned elsewhere too, the idea of a view spec link pre-delivery. I haven't taken delivery yet (scheduled this weekend) on my Model 3, but I do know it was manufactured in late March. I doubt I'll have HW3, but curious to check and can't find this view spec option anywhere. I...

Just randomly checked my account page. Based on what I’ve been following I was expecting I’d get a VIN Monday at the earliest and who knows when at the latest. I have an MVPA with a new VIN now! No delivery date yet, however.

My wait is definitely not as long as yours (coming into 3 weeks now) but situation is similar. Blue AWD white interior. I’m beginning to strongly think Tesla had so many AWDs leftover from last year that they haven’t bothered to make any new yet in 2019. At least not in white interior. Meaning...

Update on my LR AWD Blue/white ordered 3/13: My delivery date, which was never going to be official anyway because it was 3/31 at 2AM and then changed to 4/2 at 2AM is now gone completely and replaced with this: "Estimated Delivery: within 2 weeks from order placed date We will reach out to you...

My situation is a bit similar to yours, OP. I'm also in TX. I ordered a LR AWD Blue exterior, white interior, 19" wheels back on 3/13. I was very quickly matched with a 2018 VIN. Spoke to my delivery advisor and asked about a discount (since it seemed everyone was getting them at the time). He...

Congrats. I knew that 4/27 date was weird. Hopefully this means the others are coming soon too, but I have a feeling the white interior is holding a lot of us up!

Spoke to my DA about my blue LR AWD white interior. Ordered 3/13, 2018 VIN assigned and declined 3/17 after being refused any form of discount. Apparently there are no 2019 AWDs in white interior anywhere right now in any exterior color. If I wanted to switch to black interior (I don’t) there...

You’re better than me then! I haven’t been seriously looking/waiting until the middle of last year, but the wait seems so much worse since I officially clicked that order button!

FWIW, the model 3 VIN tracker twitter did say about 500 dual motor variant VINs were registered 3 days ago. I'm not sure what the lead-time is on them getting assigned (if they're registered before or after building them), but there's something else to give a little hope!

I think the only ones getting greater than 200k VINs for LR AWD are in Europe. I can't seem to find any LR AWDs in the US that are greater than 200k.

Basically the same here, except I ordered a couple days before you and my exterior is blue. Funny thing is, my updated March 31 delivery date online says it’s coming at 2:00 AM.

Your estimated delivery on your Tesla account page says April 27th? Did you mean to say March? I believe it’s possible it could take that long, but that would be, by far, the latest tentative date I’ve seen someone who ordered pre-price hike get. For instance, my situation is similar and my...

Further up the thread this conversation was started by someone saying they were promised FSD from the get-go and thus should get HW3 free even without buying any FSD option. Overall I disagreed and stated it was never promised, even in the beginning. This user just pointed out a press release...

You got me there! I guess I misspoke. But I stand by my original intention, which is to state that it’s completely unrealistic and unreasonable that Tesla should provide free HW3 retrofits to someone who didn’t pay for the FSD option and has no intention of doing so.

Yeah I remember this. But as I said, where does it say you’re getting all future HW upgrades such as the HW3 chip, that wasn’t even announced at that time, for free? If you bought your car on or after that date, you got all the hardware called out in that article. I guess you could argue it also...

Ok. I think I see where you’re coming from now. So I guess my question then is this: Where or when was it ever said, even from the beginning, that the car you purchased was 100% going to be capable of FSD without any additional hardware upgrades? Because from what I understand, FSD was never...

Right. I follow you overall, but the examples you used aren’t optional paid upgrades. It’s true though, if you do pay for FSD even well after you’ve taken delivery, you’re going to get the required hardware, once available, at no additional cost. This doesn’t explain why they’d ever retrofit...

Hasn’t Elon specifically been saying HW3 is only necessary for FSD functionality? And since FSD is and always has been an optional upcharge, I don’t understand why they’d be on the hook in any sense to retrofit cars that don’t have FSD purchased.

Thank you for the substantial response! I’m not super concerned about HW3 personally since I’m paying for FSD up front and would expect a retrofit eventually (I’m in no hurry). If this turns out to be true I’ll definitely be disappointed since the website even now is still quoting “within 2...

I’ve been following model 3 VIN registrations and it appears less than 500 AWD models were registered yesterday. I ordered my AWD nearly two weeks ago and don’t even have an assigned VIN yet (there seem to be others waiting even longer). Are you saying that if we don’t get one of the batch that...

Seems like everyone is getting discounts on 2018 builds but me. I wasn't offered anything and when I asked I got turned down. Now, I'm in TX so everything is being done online/remote since the "stores" here aren't really stores with inventory. I'm wondering if that's where the discounts are...

That's the date of the one I recently rejected, maybe the same car actually if it's blue AWD with white interior and 19s. Lots are talking about resale value as the reason they'd reject, which is true, but not as much a concern for me as I plan to keep the car for a very long time. Others have...

Was yours black or white interior? Same situation with me (Blue, AWD, 19s, white interior), but I ordered on the 12th vs 11th. Was assigned a 2018 and asked for a 2019 (mainly for insurance reasons given to me by my insurance agent). I totally would've taken the 2018 if I could've gotten some...

My current car is old and not worth much, but I ordered a Model 3 two days ago, and when Tesla offered me only $1300 I went to Carmax who offered $2000. I'd rather go through Tesla so that I can get the tax benefit of the trade-in, so I called the main number and the person I spoke with seemed...
