    What Happened to Cowbell Mode?

    Haven't seen cowbell, and can't activate it using the stem. Not sure if it disappeared during the last update (because I don't check it every day.) Anyone else lose their cowbell? Thanks.

    Southern CA Wheel Swap 18" for 19"

    Hi all, I took delivery last month, and have less than 1,000 miles on my 3 RWD LR (White/white). After some thought, I find that I really would prefer the 19" (silver) wheels over my 18" Aero's. I like the improved quietness and increased range offered by the 18's, but just like the look of the...

    Southern CA Wheel Swap 18" for 19"

    Addendum to above post: Your 19's should have 10K or fewer miles - 7K was an error. Also, I neglected to mention that the tires on my car are Michelin Primacy MXM (which, I assume, were the standard tires for 2019 Model 3's with the 18" Aero's.) They are in perfect condition as well...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Perhaps if you wanted a purchase experience like every other car on the market, you should not have chosen a car UNlike anything else on the market.

    I will wait or buy Audi

    You're a smidgeon away from trolling with the above. I would submit that any "lies" Tesla or Elon have told were NOT willful lies, and were likely spoken in good faith. You are failing to take into consideration what Elon and Tesla are trying to accomplish here - the launch of a completely...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    My car (LR RWD, white/white, aero's)was delivered yesterday around noon. (I live in Palm Springs, CA.) Upon inspection, two things were observed: First, the front hood (frunk) was badly aligned and had a significantly larger gap on one side than the other. Even the delivery person said...

    I will wait or buy Audi

    Air suspension?? First I heard of that. Also, your wording here: "Too many unfulfilled Promises from Elon and Tesla. Loosing TRUST" Now, why does this remind me so much of a tweet from a certain politician holding a high office who can barely spell or read? A certain nepotist and...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    So, I must have been mistaken - I thought the included charger worked with 110 only and was the sort that only added about 5 miles of range per hour of charging. What functionality (if any) do those $500 wall chargers (the silver and black one) that are sold in the Tesla online store offer...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Financed through Tesla. I just had to click and re-sign the sales contract. Changing the VIN with insurance company was MUCH more difficult. That was an hour process with a thick-headed rep on the phone.

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Well. ::: S I G H ::: Just got a call from my delivery rep. My car, I am told, did not pass inspection. The fix would take approximately a week. They found an identical car, and are having it delivered sometime this weekend. Sunday seems likely, Saturday is possible. The rep was...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    I ordered: White/White LR RWD 18" Aero's on March 7th. Just got a call from local delivery here in Palm Springs, and was told they'll deliver the car to my home at 2pm today. That's about 2 hours from now, and... true to my nature, I'm sitting here stressing about things like panel fits...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Another update - while I was typing the above, Tesla corrected my sales contract to reflect the new ("K") white/white model, and now everything is completely squared away. I guess the takeaway from this is, until you get a VIN, things may go quite slow, but, once a VIN is assigned, things move...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Awoke this morning, no email from Tesla, but, upon logging into my account, saw that I have now been assigned a VIN! Recapping: I originally ordered a Grey/White MR on 3/7. I changed to White/White MR, and was then contacted and told no more MR's. At that point, I upgraded to a LR RWD...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    I ordered 18" Aero also. So... same exact car. I see Ash23T also got his VIN today (white/white). He ordered 2/7, I ordered 3/7. Maybe I'm next.

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Hmm. I ordered my White/White LR RWD on March 7th. I still have no VIN, although I did get a March 29 delivery date. Which wheels did you get? I'm starting to get a bit frustrated.

    Screwed by Tesla today... M3 LR

    Tesla had nothing to do with your difficulties prior to arrival at delivery. I do agree with you that the car should NOT have gotten past their inspection process. I wouldn't say you got "screwed", however. I'd say you had a bad time getting to Raleigh, and, when you did, Tesla had dropped...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Another update on my reservation: Just spoke with the team at delivery here in Palm Springs, and was told that they have "ten to twelve" people locally who were texted delivery dates for this week without having VINs assigned. He said he believes it means that this means the cars we had...

    Yeah, you got me. Things here under the bridge get pretty boring, so... you know... I do what I can to keep busy... (Oh, wait! There comes a traveler now! Wish me luck!)

    Body panel alignment and gap issues still persist

    Hmmm... So... you traveled all the way from Atlanta, GA to Fort Lauderdale, FL, AND had access to delivery center holding lots in both cities, where there were over 200 Model 3's... and you had carte blanche to just stroll around these lots checking fitment and alignment on all of these units...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Just learned a couple of things, which I'll pass along: As some reading this might recall, I was initially assigned a VIN for a 2018 model which I said I did not want (also due to the fact that I changed from gray to white exterior). The old VIN remained on my account, but I was assured that...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    This occurred to me, as well. I can only say that I'm hopeful that standards won't slip due to the rush. They have made quite a number of these cars now, so that encourages me to be hopeful. I will definitely, however, do a thorough walk-around to observe panel fits, seals, functionality of...

    Waiting for white interior

    Eric, I originally ordered MR/RWD/Gray/White interior/Aero. I was assigned VIN# 5YJ3E1EA7JF167450. I then said I did not want a 2018 model, and also decided I wanted White/White interior. Next I was told there would be no more MR's, so I upgraded to LR, and my paint (white) was comped...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Just got a text saying that my car (LR White/White Aero's) would be delivered March 29th, between 12:00 and 2:00 pm. I'm happy about this, HOWEVER... when I log in, my sales contract is still showing the VIN of the old vehicle from 2 weeks ago which I was first assigned (a 2018, Grey/White MR...

    Waiting for white interior

    Ordered on 3/7 LR White/White. Was initially matched to a 2018 car, but did not want it. Still waiting.

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Also: has anyone here been assigned a White/White LR in the past week? I'm really concerned that this color combo could take a long time... Anyone know if they're starting to appear yet? Thanks.

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Question: I originally placed my order for a MR 15 days ago, and upgraded to LR this Monday. The system had matched me to a 2018 car and generated a sales contract for me to E-sign at the website that referenced the 2018 car (and its lower price). I didn't sign, because I'm obviously waiting for...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    From what I'm told, the 50 miles is sort of a standard thing, and oftentimes the car actually arrives with fewer miles. The 50 is apparently intended to cover incidental transportation, testing, etc, but is not always fully used.

    For me it was 3/6 or 3/7.

    Ordered on 3/17/2019, assigned a 2018

    Regarding the 2018 vs 2019 issue: I was initially assigned a 2018 VIN and rejected it. The 2018 in question was a gray car produced in December. I rejected it because, when I am finished with a car, I sell it outright. I ALWAYS get substantially more money that way than trading in...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    I ordered on 3/7 and chose a white interior. After some changes including MR to LR, I am still waiting on a white/white car. Speaking with a rep here in Southern California who works with the delivery team, it is clear that white interiors are the bottleneck. Again and again, I'm being...

    MR Waiting Room

    No. I didn't have to cancel. It was all done by them. Interestingly, my config still shows the MR, but the 2K credit for paint is now showing.

    MR Waiting Room

    Got a call about my existing order and was told they're no longer making MR's. I was offered an upgrade to LR for 3K, but my paint choice (white - $2000) is now comped. Basically, this means I am getting the MR car I ordered as a LR for $1,000 extra. I'm happy with this. 325 miles vs 260...

    MR Waiting Room

    Just got off the phone with my delivery person here in CA. I'm waiting for a white/white MR, and have been for over 8 days. When I speak to my delivery rep about some sort of discount or consideration for the lack of inventory (when I was promised a 1-2 week delivery), I am basically just...

    What happened to MR?

    Greetings all, this is my first post in the forum. I ordered my MR last week, because I wanted the full premium interior (mainly due to maps and sound system). After paying my deposit, and getting approved by Tesla financing, I decided to change the color of my car (I had not yet been...
