    My Nissan Leaf got t-boned today! (hit and run)

    Thanks. Yeah no injury. Just been fuming mad all day!! No idea why they think that's a total loss. This conversation with Nissan was via online chat (their phone help had closed for the day) so maybe it was lost in translation. But she told me to have Progressive contact their Total Loss...

    My Nissan Leaf got t-boned today! (hit and run)

    So on my way to work this morning, some jackass pulled out of a side street and hit the side of my Leaf. He took off. I (not wisely) chased after him for a bit, flashing my lights at him, but he floored it, doing at least 70+ in a 45, weaving into oncoming lanes to get away. I decided it...

    Waiting for white interior

    I ordered my long range M3, blue with white interior, basic AutoPilot on April 6. It was at Nashville and ready for delivery in exactly 7 days, today April 13th!!! But due to a scheduling conflict I couldn’t pick it up this weekend, so I’m getting it Friday, April 19, so less that 2 weeks after...

    More Model 3 changes and leasing now available

    Totally agree. I drive a 2016 Leaf, and got excited when they announced the new Leaf Plus, with a range of 226mi. A great improvement to my current range. I was all set to trade in this Leaf for a new Leaf Plus ----- until I saw the price!! A 226-mile Leaf Plus (the SL version with leather...

    Tesla parts/repair - 3 weeks and crickets...

    When you take your Tesla in to a Tesla shop for repairs, do they at least give you a free Tesla loaner (perhaps a ludicrous mode one)? I know you it’s annoying not having YOUR car, but it’s gotta suck a little less still driving a Tesla? (Better than what most body shops or insurances give you...

    High-Level Review of Teexpert Model 3 Floor Mats

    They don’t look bad, I just don’t like how these companies stamp a big huge company logo on these mats. If it’s very small and subtle, that’s ok, but I don’t want to see your your John Hancock on my $50,000 car

    Plus, who the hell lets their kid sit there and mess with their Tesla's settings unsupervised??!! Maybe she put the car in Dog Mode and left the kid in there alone??

    Waiting for white interior

    Playing around on the order page, it seems like what ever you configure, and whatever time zone you enter, it always gives this same delivery Estimate: Standard range - 6-8 weeks All others - Within 2 weeks I didn't try any Canadian areas, but tried several zip codes across USA (even Alaska...

    Plus, being in the hot South, I'm thinking come summertime, the white will feel much better on the asscheeks than the black 'leather'. :D

    Annoying whistle noise, when driving relatively slowly – Is it normal?

    I can faintly hear the whine you are talking about. Not sure why it only happens sometimes and not all the time?? But yes, my Leaf is super annoying with its artificial noise when driving slow (to alert pedestrians) and the [beep] [beep] [beep] when in reverse. SO ANNOYING!! But maybe what...

    Just curious, when you both first placed your order, what did the website say was your Estimated Delivery time? 2 weeks? 4 weeks? More?

    Firmware 8.5

    Don't know what version Sheryl Crow is using, but she got a black screen, too. Elon replies to her tweet a few times. Sheryl Crow on Twitter Of course, hers may have just been a kid putting it on night mode and setting brightness to 0%.

    Damn the Blue shines up purty

    Holy hell those blues look gorgeous!! I'm trying to wait 2 more weeks to order mine (timing purposes to finish my current lease), but man these pictures are making it hard not to press the ENTER button on the order page!!! Was torn between blue and red, but I think I'm sold on the blue...

    Wow, Looks like the Pickup was on the losing end of that fight! Glad the wife is ok! (and wishing the M3 a speedy recovery!!!)

    Firmware 8.5

    So it looks like the Autosteer Stop Light Warning will work on just the basic Autopilot, with Autosteer engaged? I was thinking all that stop light recognition stuff was for FSD only. Then again maybe because it's just a warning only, and not stopping for you like FSD will??

    My Purchase/Delivery Experience

    Congrats!! And welcome to the EV world!!! Sorry to hear about your mom. Maybe when you give the car a name, something to honor her. :)

    Still stuck on 2019.5.15

    Question: When you buy a new M3, do they update to the latest version at the Dealer when you pick up the car? Or are you stuck with whatever version was installed at manufacture, and you have to wait for update like everyone else?

    Mounting E-Toll devices in frunk

    I would think it would work. Let us know. I put a Train Horn in my Leaf. Was wondering if the frunk would be a practical place to put the train horn in the Model 3..?? Would probably muffle the sound too much.. :confused:

    No Garage Door Openeer on Partial Premium Interior

    Yeah I agree. I had a 2013 Leaf and now have a 2016 Leaf. Both were the mid-level trim packages (SV) and did NOT have Homelink. If you upgrade to the (SL) package, it includes Homelink. (The current 2019 Leaf is the same way.) So, I guess I can understand that the 'lower' trim packages for...

    Damn, that white interior really makes it pop!! I'm ordering my M3 in about a week, and I'm pretty convinced on the white interior!!! Looks well worth the $1000 upgrade..

    NEMA 14-50 & Cable Organizer Install

    Can’t get JackSh@t here in Mississippi for going green. In fact, they are now CHARGING us an extra $150 fee every year when we register or renew our car tags!! They say because gas vehicles pay a tax at the gas pumps that go towards road improvements, and electric cars use those same roads and...

    Questions about Home Delivery Experience?

    I think this may be true if there is a Service Center within reasonable distance.. But if the nearest Tesla Center is hundreds of miles away, I think they use a 3rd party flatbed truck of some kind.. But you’re right, seems like there’s no set guaranteed way of them doing it.. That’s why I just...

    Autopilot bug with lane change

    OK, I think we've beat this subject to death, and we all agree that Tesla does have out-of-date stuff on their website. But I was reading on the Tesla website about the changes of Software Version 9.0 and saw these little gems... So just go to Tesla.com, click on Support, then click on...

    Waiting for white interior

    I just spoke with a Sales rep at the Nashville Tesla Store, and of course he was trying to sell me a car that they have in inventory. I told him I am looking for blue with white interior. He said the white interior ones are selling like hotcakes. He could not find a Long Range blue with white...

    Questions about Home Delivery Experience?

    You guessed it. Olive Branch. Yeah, I've used the Tanger one several times in my Leaf. I also volunteer at St Jude once a week. They have 3 L2 (free) stations in their parking garage. I think there's a Whole Foods with a free charger as well. They are starting to be more popular around...

    Questions about Home Delivery Experience?

    Thanks. The more I hear, the more I'm thinking I may just want to go to Nashville to pick mine up in person. At least then it should be clean and detailed, charged (I would assume), and I could do a through walk-around with an actual Tesla person there to witness any defects I notice...

    No Garage Door Openeer on Partial Premium Interior

    Yeah, I had a 2013 Nissan Leaf and a 2016 Leaf. Neither one had Homelink built in, so I guess I just dealt with it. My wife had a Dodge Durango and Hyundai Sonata (2010-ish models) that had Homelink built in, but she got a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan that didn't have it. I'm used to having the...

    Insurance costs?

    I called my carrier (Progressive) and got an estimate for my upcoming Model 3. I told them I would be replacing the Nissan Leaf on my policy. The difference in cost was about $150 more per year to replace the Leaf with the new Tesla. Not bad at all, about $12/month extra... Got 3 cars, 2...

    NEMA 14-50 & Cable Organizer Install

    Think I'll have an issue with this steep driveway?

    Thanks for all the replies. Excuse my poor drawing, but I think if I approach at about a 45° angle to get over the initial incline, it should be fine. But then again there's that word should.!! Would hate to find out the hard way. I can't just park on the curb, because it is at the top of...

    Think I'll have an issue with this steep driveway?

    When my M3 gets here, one of the first road trips I take will be to visit my parents. This is the driveway at their house. I always remember it being steep, but from this Google maps view, it doesn't look too bad. Maybe a 30° angle or so?? Think I'll have any problem with the M3 scraping...

    Autopilot bug with lane change

    So it sounds like Auto Lane Change now only works if you have FSD and are currently using Navigate on Autopilot?? Wow. I don't yet have my M3, but under the Autopilot settings, there used to be an option to turn on/off Auto Lane Change. Now I think that is no longer there, and all you have is...

    Questions about Home Delivery Experience?

    I live in Mississippi, so I believe my only option will be home delivery. (Our state still lives in the 1800s in many areas, but don't get me started.) Nearest service center is in Nashville, over 215 miles away. I've read some older threads about this topic, but what I'm mostly interested in...

    She is beautiful!! That is the same color combo I am considering, blue with white interior. Question: How long from when you ordered til you received it? And what state did you take home delivery in? (Seeing your profile, Im assuming WA state?)

    I am trying to time my purchase as well. I have a 2016 Nissan Leaf that is on lease. The lease expires in May, and I'm ready to turn this piece of $h1t in and upgrade to a Long Range Model 3!! Estimate for my desired configuration says 2-4 weeks. I'm hoping to order in early April, so if it...
