    Anyone purchase an ICE after your Model 3?

    Thanks, I did need to be brought back to reality - no way I'd be able to fit the stroller in that tiny Camaro trunk. Even the 14's were really bad in trunk space. Not sure about the challengers though I do appreciate they're bigger. Glad you said it, I would YouTube Hellcats just to listen to...

    Anyone purchase an ICE after your Model 3?

    I really appreciate all of the responses to this thread. It's reassuring to know i'm not the only one with these kinds of thoughts. I would consider a Chevrolet SS, if Chevy still made them, and they were still the 4 door version of Camaro. Chargers aren't my style. I don't know too much about...

    Anyone purchase an ICE after your Model 3?

    I used to own a Veloster N and 14 Camaro SS 1LE. The road feel on both of those cars were spot on. Model 3 has a floatier feel, but it was the best all around car to get. Ya'll are gonna laugh at me. I have a 7 month old daughter, hence the Kona N and Elantra N consideration LOL but at heart...

    Anyone purchase an ICE after your Model 3?

    Hi everyone. 2021 AWD Model 3. I understand that if you're active on this forum, chances are good you love your Model 3, kept it, swear by it, etc. I've owned mine for over 1 year and after my 5th Tesla service appointment (for a whirring, buzzing gear grinding kinda noise taking place under my...

    That notorious driver side dash rattle..

    Yup 3 visits later and me literally telling them how to fix it. Foam did the trick they just didn't place it right til the 3rd visit.

    Insurance Safety Score TANKED due to phantom warnings

    Yeah it's happened to me once or twice. Or when someone approaching your street from the right side of the intersection makes a left turn in front of you. But this is an entirely different animal.

    Insurance Safety Score TANKED due to phantom warnings

    Hi everyone, I escalated this with Tesla Insurance, but I still wanted to ask everyone here what the heck happened? I only drove 11 miles and got an average of almost 90 forward collision warnings. I didn't have ANY chimes or warnings today, nor did I have any close calls. Just look at that...

    Light show update trunk?

    Sorry to hear that. I performed a trunk reset and had it open for the 2 light shows I did thereafter. So overall, 3 out of 4 worked for me. Weirdly, the first show I ever did worked at whatever trunk setting I had, but the 2nd show did not.

    Light show update trunk?

    Push the trunk as high up as it goes, then hold down the trunk button til it beeps.

    Light show update trunk?

    Worked for me the first time last night. Second time, today, it didn't open. 21 m3 awd. Powered trunk operates perfectly fine otherwise. Maybe it's a software bug that needs to be patched.

    What the heck is this noise? It sounds like a type writer

    Any ideas? At any speed it sounds much like the type writer at Disneyland's New Orleans train station. Bumpy or non bumpy roads, doesn't matter.

    Upsell my M3 AWD and replace with a M3P?

    Yeah good point. I'll have a vehicle to borrow but yes the LR is my daily and only car. The wait will still suck. I also have a minor spider chip in the windshield that's hard to ignore. I'm holding out on spending the 250 down too. My portfolio is tanking so the timing must be bad. And get...

    Upsell my M3 AWD and replace with a M3P?

    Thank you everyone for your responses. I appreciate the advice! @arghx7 I just did it a few months ago with my Veloster. It was fairly simple, after getting past the scam calls at least, even with an active loan. What do you mean by maximize the money? The only other option i'm aware of is...

    Upsell my M3 AWD and replace with a M3P?

    Also I haven't bought the accel boost yet but WAS planning on it. I just add that 2k to the allowance for a performance. Only thing I don't like is the turbine wheels and loss of range, but I consider it to be more car. I had a 14 camaro ss 1le as a daily a few years ago I can't imagine a...

    Upsell my M3 AWD and replace with a M3P?

    I have a 21 Model 3 AWD (white on white) I purchased in July, so I've had it for about 5 months now. It has 3000 miles on the odometer. I am still a gearhead at heart so I'll still play around on KBB for car values when I realized that my private party value range for my AWD, is 57 - 61k. Fair...

    Will a M3 AWD with Accel Boost Beat These Cars?

    In a legal drag race, is the Model 3 AWD with accel boost fast enough to beat the cars listed below? The circumstances: 1. Real life 0-60 race 2. Quarter mile from stand still 3. From a roll The cars: -Audi TT RS (rated 0-60 in 3.6) -C8 Chevrolet Corvette (rated 0-60 in 2.9) -Chevrolet Camaro...

    Can we talk about rattles & noises, and them not being covered under warranty?

    Right I saw that video too. Its too bad tesla can't literally do that themselves.

    Quick Model 3 Review - The Best Car I've Ever Owned, With The Most Issues I've Ever Had In A Car.

    Sounds like a oxymoron, right? I'll give you a quick introduction as to who I am. I've previously owned a new 2014 Camaro SS 1LE and 2020 Veloster N. Sold the Camaro after 6 years, sold the Veloster after 1. Both great cars in their own right, both never had any real issues. The camaro had a...

    Emulate Engine Noise - Agree or Disagree?

    Now that I have one I can understand why so many people voted no. The boombox isn't all that powerful. Still would've been funny to produce a Rev engine noise at a stoplight.

    Tesla lost bank check, then claimed it bounced, now threatening repo

    I just had them take the amount straight from my bank account via plaid. Bing boom done. Too many worries about shipping a check, regardless of method.

    Can we talk about rattles & noises, and them not being covered under warranty?

    Thanks, yeah i'll only make future appointments if something bigger is broken. So i'll take care of the passenger side wheel well, and the dash rattle(s), myself. I called the service center hoping for some advice but they didn't get back to me, yet.

    Can we talk about rattles & noises, and them not being covered under warranty?

    Update for those of you still following. Tesla had my car for 6 days before saying it was ready. I picked it up with black prints on the hood and a very dirty center armrest console, not to mention the bird droppings on the windshield.. but these things I can ignore cause I finally got my car...

    Can we talk about rattles & noises, and them not being covered under warranty?

    Thanks everyone. Just a quick update - I had been informed that rattles and noises are covered for the first year, 12k miles. I dropped it off today. There were no rentals available, but I do get $100 worth of Uber a day (sucks but it's something). They'll give me more credit if I need it. The...

    Can we talk about rattles & noises, and them not being covered under warranty?

    Hi everyone, I just picked up my Model 3 AWD about a month ago. Currently sits at about 700 miles. It's an amazing, futuristic car (hands down best I've ever owned) and I wouldn't trade it in for anything (except maybe to get a red performance M3 instead of a white AWD LOL). However, I want to...

    Who here financed through Tesla without verifiable income?

    No I have the car now, I just never got around to changing the squirrel 😂

    Who here financed through Tesla without verifiable income?

    They never asked for it. I put down 22k or 24k and was instantly approved, no proof necessary.

    See people like you paid big bucks for that car, this is something they should cover period.

    That notorious driver side dash rattle..

    Thanks. I've read a couple of posts regarding using high density foam - but I need a visual representation to understand where exactly to put it. Thank you, my car is still very young but I'd like to know how much time / mileage they give you.. I believe I was told 100 miles or 24 hours, but...

    That notorious driver side dash rattle..

    2021 M3 LR, only about 300 miles - I'm starting to hear that weird crackle / rattle noise coming from the drivers side dash around highway speeds (65mph and up). It sounds just like this. I had a couple of points I wanted to ask ya'll - 1. Why has this continued to persist? I've been cruising...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It's been a fun ride everyone. Picked this guy up today at Raintree and couldn't be happier! June 30th order arrived July 31st. There's a tiny misalignment on the driver's side door, and some glue stuck on the top corner of the windshield, but other then that it seems perfectly fine. Haven't...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Mine was too, all over the place. But lately it kept creeping closer and closer. The closer my range, the better chance it was of being correct. If it stays like that for 5 days I imagine that's the most accurate range they can give you for now.
  36. 1LE McQueen

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My EDD closed in fast just before I received the VIN. It got better and closer range day by day until I finally saw a VIN in the account.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    YOU AND I BOTH! Tesla called me today to confirm the appointment - I asked if the car was in town, he said yup it's just being prepped for pickup tomorrow. I'm gonna need a couple cups of chamomile tonight. I also purchased a screen protector, new aero cap kit, and a suction cup to remove the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thank you! I'm not sure what I did to deserve that VIN so soon but I'm glad I don't have to worry about going over my 60 day pre-approval. I did fill out everything I could immediately after ordering the car. That could've maybe put me higher on the priority list? Not sure but I hope you all...

    Tesla store using FedEx - running into issues

    Does Tesla use FedEx for all their outgoing store products that were purchased by customers? I'm having an awful experience with them. My 14-50 charging adapter was supposed to go from CA to AZ. Shipped last Thursday. It arrives in Phoenix (where I live) over the weekend, stays here for a few...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    On Thursday, I got the notification that my 14-50 charger was sent out from California. So being in Arizona, I figure it'll get here over the weekend. Jokes on me. They sent it to PA!? It was in Phoenix for a little bit at least. wtf. It better get here before my car does!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'd like to give reassurance, but at one point my EDD was all of September until it changed last week to August and now I got my VIN. On second thought, you can take comfort in knowing my EDD jumped so far back to this week and it could happen to you too!
  46. 1LE McQueen
