    No inventory cars available at all - S, X or 3

    I noticed recently that inventory cars seem to have disappeared on-line. I read here that Tesla may be holding back and not want to make their inventory public online. I visited a Tesla store today to see what they had in new inventory, as my wife's car is about to get totaled (pending insurance...

    My journey to Model X

    Quick recap of my journey to Model X. Been driving a little bit electric since I bought a Toyota Avalon Hybrid in 2013. Have loved the hybrid and 41 ICE mpg. The sound of my Avalon's regenerative braking is 'cha-ching:' $$ into piggybank. Avalon hybrid has a battery-compromised trunk with no...

    [PSA] Beware of the quirks of the current round of the Tesla Referral Program (till April 30, 2018)

    Only the FIRST to use a referral code in this round of the referral program will receive the credit toward service or accessories. A clever step by Tesla, because that way there is just no point at all that the same referral code is used more than once. There will be NO credit if the order is...

    M3’s getting delivered to MDR

    We we’re just on the 405 freeway, where we saw a car carrier loaded with 7 M3’s and an S on its way to Marina del Rey. There was a broad range of colors and both wheel types. It was 7:30 on a Saturday night, which is not a time I would expect them to arrive at the delivery center.

    Engineering Hold?

    I was due to pick up my X 75D on Friday (Feb 2), however, I got a call from my DS the day before telling me that engineering have put mine and a few others on "hold" but couldn't offer an explanation as to why ... has anyone else experienced this?

    Placed order but haven't finished registration

    will car start being made or not till I'm done? I own a used car business and not sure if I can put it in my business name to save tax since it would be dealer to dealer. I'm an LLC so would still get tax credit

    Containment Hold

    Went to pick up our Model 3 this afternoon. Arrived at the center and was told the vehicle could not be released due to a "Containment Hold" put on the vehicle by Fremont. Could not (Would not?) answer as to why there was a hold, nor would they hazard a guess as to how long it would be until...

    Model 3 Extended Warranty

    Hi there I took delivery of my Model 3 on 01/30. I inquired about extended warranty on Model 3 to delivery specialist as well as inside sales representative. However I was told that extended warranty is not offered on Model 3. I am surprised because it's offered on Model S and X. Does anyone...

    CPO Experience

    I have been using these forums for years now, researching and learning from all the knowledge there is to be had here, and finally bought one. I found a great 2014 MS 85 in January and am taking delivery today. I know that some people have had very bad experiences with the CPO program, but mine...

    Seats / Color Combinations

    Hi, just ordered my model S and am having second thoughts about interior seat and color combo choices. Here are the priorities: 1. Car exterior will be Blue. Am in north NJ where we get it cold in winter and real HOT in summer. Previous cars (non-E) have always had leather seats, cream. A...

    Speculation: configuration queue for non owner line waiters

    Plenty of discussion about owners getting priority, jumping ahead in line, California first, etc, but I wonder how they plan on letting non owners configure when the time comes. Will they let all of the people who stood in line in California go first, or will they let, say, the first 20 people...

    Strange configuration issues...take delivery of a "2017" model now?

    Hello everyone. Long time follower but first time poster. I'm a current Model S owner located in CA and I was very excited to see I was able to configure this time last week. I immediately leapt at the opportunity and stopped just short after selecting my desired options short of placing the...

    Worried about non-employee, non-owner deliveries

    I am a line waiter, 37th at Burbank, on 3/31/2016. My account shows February delivery. I guess it doesn't count that I am an investor. I am even the god father of an employee. That doesn't count either. Does anyone else think that Tesla is misleading us with deliveries? They are selling...

    Consequence of not responding to calls or email from Tesla inside sales?

    I'm just curious if anyone has been notified that their reservation is about to be cancelled and issued a refund because they haven't responded to the call to order or delay? I'm a day-one rez current owner that's waiting for the $35k SR battery option. Now that they've started to deliver...

    How Many “Missed” Nov 17 - Jan 18 Estimates Are Out There?

    Just wondering how many others out there have with a Nov - Jan estimate that have not been invited to configure yet. Curious how many missed estimates there are. I am a non-owner on the east coast who somehow got in the Nov - Jan group, so in truth I’m not shocked I did not get to configure...

    Any 1st day reservations/owners w/o invite?

    I believe all such people had Nov-Jan delivery estimate. Jan is over, was anyone left behind w/o an invite to configure? I.e. is delivery estimation correct so far?

    PA Model X Owner - Ordered Model 3 - Delivery Feb 2

    I'm a current Model X owner. Last Thursday (Jan 25th) I signed into my Tesla Account to find I could configure the Model 3. So I called my brother who actually put the deposit down for the car so he could configure it. He lives in Virginia. So he submits the order on Thursday Jan 25th around...

    Pick-up Checklist

    Have I missed a pick-up checklist specific to the Model 3? The site search brought back pick-up issues and whatnot. I'm wondering if there's an M3 specific document that I might bring with me to the dealer on pick-up.

    Can you up the mileage on an X lease one year later?

    I’ve been leasing an SUV of one sort or another for my wife for the last 10-12 years and she’s always managed the mileage to within 12K miles per year. Last year, when our Mercedes GL450 lease expired, I convinced her to test drive the Model X and she’s been in love with the car ever since. So...

    2017 Tax credit for installation of charging station?

    I installed a charging station in my home for my tesla this past year. I am reading some weird rules around receiving the credit and having to have a tax liability in order to claim the credit. Doe anyone know if the credit is still valid for 2017 tax year, and also how it works in terms of...

    MX production line

    Any guesses when the MX production line is coming back online? It looks like many of us who ordered after the middle of March have been given an estimated delivery date of March. I'm assuming that they switched all production to ramp up the M3. Eager to get my VIN!

    Considering an MX instead of Model 3 need advice

    Ive already been invited to configure my Model 3 but am seriously considering the Model X. I see that the current referral program offering unlimited Supercharging on the MX ends on January 31st. Wondering if that offer might be extended as I wasn’t planning on ordering in the next few days...

    2018 Tesla Model 3 Production: 80,000 or 264,000?

    How many Model 3s do you think Tesla will deliver in 2018? Tesla's guidance is as high as 264,000, Ben Sullins of Teslanomics predicts 200,000. This (link) says only 80,000 (my guess). Yes, 80k is a lot, but that still leaves plenty of people on the waitinglist at the end of 2018 and that will...

    Longer wait time for Standard Range than Long Range Model 3s?

    Once Tesla starts manufacturing the standard range version (SR), one would expect there to be a burst of orders from those who have already been invited to configure but are waiting for SR. This, on it's own, might create a longer wait time for these orders than what people are experience now...

    Model 3 is Arriving in Texas, Tesla Southlake

    Just saw an email this morning, probably the first showroom M3 in the DFW metroplex. Don't think there will be test drives, but seeing one in the flesh can satiate appetites for a decent few right now. Starting January 26, Model 3 will be on display at Tesla Southlake, As you prepare for...

    Update on my CPO

    Couple of weeks ago, I put $1,000 on a 2014 85. Received a copy of the Carfax and it came back clean. 11 days later, I received an email with updates on what’s going on with the car. They did several tests and it turns out the car has signs of serious accident damage beneath the body work. With...
