Pulled the trigger on an Ultra Red 5 seater for the tax credit. Fingers crossed things go smoothly!

Definitely. Saw a new X7 the other day and the inner side of both rears was nearly bald while the outsides looked brand new. Not M variant either

Its unfortunate they dont seem to plan to ever fix it. I live in an apartment (with free charging) so will have to look for a shop that is comfortable with Teslas and installing the kits. Please let me know how it works out for you afterwards

Read your posts about the issues and LL on your X. Sorry to hear that. Totally understand your frustration

That's great to hear. It seems like they've dialed it in pretty well, but the X just has so many moving parts its easy for something to go wrong it seems. Putting it in chill mode is what I'd have to do most of the time, unless showing it off to friends 🤣 At least with mostly highway driving...

Should note, what is in the EQ line is very different than the ICE equivalents. I had a EQS loaner and it is much better than whats in my GLE. Huge difference. Not sure if what they're doing there will ever trickle down to the ICE versions.

Appreciate all that!

Have you not had any of those issues? If not, how many miles have you put on to avoid it?

In a straight line on open highway, MB is fine. In traffic mine has been super sketchy in a lot of situations. To where I always have to disengage it, even though it has a dedicated start and stop slow traffic mode. Its incredibly jerky and breaks super aggressively. Autopilot is nowhere near...

Hi everyone, Been considering a LR X (less likely but also a Model S for the extra range) for a while now, and the forums have been super helpful with learning more about the car. The good and the bad haha. Im currently in a 2022 GLE that has been fine overall, but with how much I travel for...

Appreciate all of the input! Still a lot to consider but this definitely helped my thinking. Since I dont own a previous S or X, I doubt I could get the free ludicrous upgrade. If I decided to pull the trigger and they gave me the option, I would take it though.

Hey everyone! Have had my Model 3 for a few months now, and besides a few QC issues hoping to get fixed soon, have really enjoyed my car. However, I have hit a bit of a speed bump that has me considering selling for the new 370 mile S and would love to hear some thoughts. My main reasons for...

Got her delivered today! Love the white multi-coat. Get paint protection wrap on Friday.

Will do. I rode in the passenger seat from their offsite lot to their main property and didnt hear any rattle before with the window, and they said it didnt need to be changed, so hopefully it'll all be the same. We had music cranked to about 70-80% and didnt hear any rattle then. Knock on wood...

For sure. They said how they've sold some since the holidays, but it has slowed down. For LR AWD, there was a good handful of cars but not a full parking lot or anything. I kept sitting on the fence but finally sucked it up and knew that I would regret continuing to put it off.

only thing this one had was the passenger window not going up all the way into the door frame. they messed with it and said it was going as high as possible after recalibrating. considering its been on site for a month or so and no interior water damage, im guessing the sealing is still solid...

No mileage discount (only had 7 miles), but got the paint taken off (in the process now). Its some kind of promo my owner advisor was pushing. Not sure if I can go into detail about it though.

Ok, so update time! After seeing the OBM in person, I wasn't feeling it as much as in the photos. So instead we found a 2019 VIN White Model 3 and I fell in love with that paint color. Probably going to Stormtrooper it a bit sometime. Only issue was the passenger window wouldn't fully roll up...

Im torn between black and blue. If I get there and blue looks better, I might switch. I heard the OBM hides them better than black, but Im guessing not by much? Im gonna get some XPEL paint protection on it before taking it on its first road trip so that'll hopefully help.

And for me since Im getting an inventory car, I dont really have to settle because there might be a better made car on lot right next to it. Its more just because of the paint color. Going down there today to look at the car, and if its not as bad as the photos look, hopefully drive home with...

I plan to keep the car as long as I can. One of the reasons I don mind having a "2018" VIN. I more just concerned with the gaps (especially the roof glass) being big enough that moisture can get in between.

yeah, it has EAP. I can get any paint color besides red free with the deal they are given me so its not limited just to the OBM. I just leaned towards it cause its a "rarer" color. But I would get a different car in blue if the mild gaps like this one had werent there. I can always change the...

I fully agree with that. The main things I saw were the ones pointed out here. Just wanted to know for sure if they were normal things that weren't going to become bigger issues down the road. Its my first time buying a car like this so Im overanalyzing things I guess

I didnt notice the roof glass being higher on the left side versus the right. Good eye there. I am going to talk to my Sales guy tomorrow about things I noticed. I know this car is prepped and scheduled to be delivered to my apartment Tuesday (no down payment made yet though), but if theres...

Its a 2018 build with 17 miles on it. It has a VIN in the 90xxx. Getting $330 off for the miles, and getting the Obsidian Black Metallic paint for free.

Ok good. Im not sure with the window seals. The location is over an hour away so these were pics that someone on the delivery team sent to me. They offered to do a home delivery for whatever car I chose (and can still refute it upon delivery if needed). The left taillight and charge door looked...

Sorry, new to the forum and not sure how to get media to upload properly. Hopefully this will work.

Hey everyone! Looking at picking up an inventory Model 3 in the coming days and wanted to ask here if it looks like there are any panel gaps or issues with fit and finish with this car. I dont see very many compared to some people here, so something I may miss someone here might be able to spot...

I am finally looking at pulling the trigger on a Model 3. Im looking at two different options and would love your opinion on which is the better choice. The first is a 2018 build with a 9xxxx VIN, in the discontinued Obsidian Black Metallic. This one has 17 miles on it so $330 is taken off the...

How was your experience with buying through inventory in Brentwood? I'm looking at doing the same and they were telling me they had dozens of 3's in inventory. I was hoping finding a car with better quality control was a bit easier having different options to choose from "off the lot" versus...

I'm going with the stock Aero wheels. Rather have the extra range, and in both stock black and blue paint I think it still looks pretty good.

Thanks for everyone giving me their thoughts and opinions. It really has helped out a ton. I have decided (if my apartment gives me charging permission) to get the non-performance LR AWD version. Considering the amount of miles that may be put on this car, the extra expense of tires among other...

That is exactly what Im hoping for. But if they don't, I don't see myself being too disappointed. Maybe by the time I can know for sure about even if I can charge one at my apartment or not, it might become available haha.

Im coming from owning a 2011 Camaro and a Ford Escape. After having both, I have become more of a SUV person. Not really for the cargo space (the model 3 has enough for me and girlfriend to travel for weeks at a time when out for work with seats down), but for the higher sitting height and being...

Its definitely not swaying me, but it did give me insight that I didnt have before. Considering this car will see lots and lots of miles (Im self employed and do a lot of car travel for work on the east coast), Im sure I would burn through performance tires just with everyday use faster than I...

That was one of the things that had me leaning towards performance, but considering I may use this as a work/travel vehicle (self employed) I'd be putting a lot of miles on it and hearing about the performance tires pretty much locked it in for me.

Dang, I wish that was available now. That would be exactly what I'd go for. Shoot, by the time my apartment approves or denies me being able to charge at my garage, they might have a new option rolled out anyway haha.

What was different with the stealth? Im assuming its just blacked out rims? I wish there was a third option to replace the wood panelling with something black (or even carbon fiber like the performance X). Thats one reason I was considering not going for performance, and spend part of that 10k...

This actually gave me a lot of insights that I had in my head, but seeing it written out opened my eyes much more. I knew that the costs would be higher with the performance parts, but I didn't consider as many as you listed here (especially their costs). This definitely helped a lot, so thank...

For me, I dont really see myself ever using track mode. Im not really into that side of cars, even though Im sure its really fun to have, I just dont picture myself ever really using it (or I know I wouldn't miss that feature if I didnt have it). So its almost on the lines of Im paying the 10K...

Hey everyone, New to the forums, and awaiting confirmation from my apartment on charging allowance in my garage before pulling the trigger on a Tesla. If everything with management works out though, Im planning on finally getting my dream car! The question I keep going back and forth on is if...
