Ordering

Just wondering if any of you did a test drive first before you left the delivery center?

Location -- A Obviously less convenient for us than local SC here in Valley. However, it is a wonderful one. Right at a Marina Freeway on/off ramp. And only a mile from the 405. Concept -- A Our local SC is stellar when it comes to service and support. A big reason why we bought a Tesla ...

A few months ago, I received my CPO Model S. Like most, there was a bunch of waiting and quiet periods but eventually got the car and was happy with it all. I asked about the history and they told me they couldn't share much, but that it was up to date on service, had a clean history, and had a...

Picked up my Model 3 today at the new Fremont Hub. Overall it was a great pickup and overview of controls and features. However, on the drive home I decided to turn up the stereo to test out the audio. It sounded kind of hollow and lacking any base. Upon further review just the front upper...

Hello TMC friends. I've been a participant in this forum and fence-sitter since September 2013! I guess I'm not as much of an early adopter as I thought I was. Almost got a Model S once, but couldn't quite convince myself...But now that my Lexus lease is up, I'm ready to take the plunge. Here's...

I'm a 2012 Model S P85 (early 2000's vin) owner living in Fremont California. Not an employee. I had placed reservation for Model 3 late on first day at a store, after the crowds had died down. I got my config email on 12/15/17 I got a call from delivery specialist on 12/22/17 I got a call back...

Spotted a red beauty at Centralia with Oregon plates!

I’m hunting for a 6 seater, used with this config and attempting to determine if there was ever a period during which such a car might have been manufactured. Perforated seats, AP2, ideally 60kWh capacity. Do you know if they exist? When did the perforated seats cease production? When did AP2...

I just saw people posting this past weekend that another round of invites went out. Does that make 3 in total so far?

Does Tesla Finance assign the leases to an underwriter? I've read before this is US Bank, although communication for my previously leased Model S still originates from Tesla Finance. -- I ask because I am taking delivery of a Model X P100D tomorrow. Currently I am the only one on the lease...

As part of my research prior to purchasing my first Tesla (a Model S), I've been looking for some historical information on Tesla's Financing Rates in Canada. In order to ensure that I'm getting the best financing rate, I wanted to understand the historical patterns which might help me predict...

Where can I find a list of options and cost of each for the model 3?

Went in to take delivery of our Model 3. We signed the paperwork and did the orientation. Tesla staff then tell us no one sent our contract to the credit union. Had to leave without the new car. When they finally did send the contract, they sent one belonging to someone else. Hopefully...

Were you given a choice of which phone cables were included, or is it a case of "you get these two and if you don't like it, buy the ones you need"?

Looks like more Model 3s are arriving in Southern California. I am currently a Model S owner, and placed a deposit on the M3 the first day with a $1K deposit. I received an invite to configure on 11/24, and placed an order for a White M3, with an additional $2500 deposit. Received a call last...

Just got off the phone with AAA. Currently we have a 2016 model S and a 2013 Chevy Volt. Both of us have good driving records. Premium is 2500$ish/year. I was really happy to get the quote with the model 3. It only increases 80$/year. Considering the car is quite a lot newer and quite...

Let me start off by saying that, like most of you, I am a huge Elon & Tesla fan. He's just one of those guys that you can't help but root for. As an entrepreneur, inventor and business owner I am especially drawn to him. Since the Roadster, I have dreamed of owning a Tesla. I am a gear head by...

Anyone have someone they can refer me to that actually has interest in providing a good experience when purchasing a $175K car? Seems to be pretty hard to find when dealing with Tesla.

I am in the first configuration group (but in AZ not CA) so I think I'll be able to configure within a few weeks. Does anyone think the SR option won't be available until July 1? (I'm assuming that's when the fed tax credit will be halved.)

I won't assist the weasel who is selling it, but already an early delivery is being scalped like a concert ticket. This was to be expected, however it does raise an interesting point. How will this affect the queue when the resale is not supported by the market, which always happens with...

I don't think we have any data points to confirm/deny this yet as we don't have an non-employee, non-owners who have been invited to configure yet. I was wondering if Model 3 owners were going to get a referral code at all. Obviously not for some of the bigger referral goodies the Model S/X...

Hi I am Marcel from Belgium, I am dutch but I live in Belgium for about 20 years now. I took this big step 2 weeks ago, I decided to order a Tesla Model S 100D black metallic with white interior. I hope I made the right choice, but that's what we will see in about a few months. I currently...

I just finished ordering my Model S and I am the gadget type who'd order any hitech toys available on my cars. However, for the M3, I have decided to hold off on the Full Self-driving option and opt for it when and if it becomes a reality. My though is that this may take 4-5 years to become real...

Juat picked her up really nice car. But we have had a couple of hiccups with in our first day of owner ship. But here is a quick video of our delivery

WOW ... Got my email invite yesterday at 2:45... configured within 30 min ... got a call from Tesla within 20 min saying that they will try to deliver ASAP. Hoping to get it by end of the year but no guarantee!! Non-Owner - Southern CA - Placed my order @ 8:00 PM on 3/31. I still remember...

I'm planning to buy a new model x, but wondering since it's end of year whether I should wait to get 2018 model, does it make sense or should I just get the 2017 one?

2 days ago while on the golf course my cell phone rang from (725) area code. Normally I don't take calls that are unfamiliar to me but I knew that was a Las Vegas area code and on the other end the lady identified herself as DS for Tesla and said those sweet words : " I have Good news for...

I'm seriously considering getting the baseline 3 for my wife/daughter. We were looking at other cars, but nothing compares. Assuming I put my order in today, given priority as an X owner and Cali resident, when would I receive delivery?

So we just ordered our MX in blue with cream interior, but I have one question left; They have those sample things in the showrooms and the white is Tesla's own creation and is really soft and nice. The cream sample is more stiff and feels cheaper. Our sales advisor said that by now the only...

Looks awesome. Tesla, call my number.

In a few hours I will be taking delivery of our second Tesla. Makes no sense that I can't sleep. I've picked up several new cars in my lifetime. Maybe there's some malady about electric cars that affects the brain. The first Tesla - same symptom - like a little kid awaiting Santa. It's...

The Master Plan is to advance sustainable transportation. I for one want to see the base expanded. We are privy to front row seats..........to a changing world.

Came across this and found it amusing. You can own your very own M3 for 120k right NOW 2018 Tesla Model 3 | eBay 2017 Tesla Model 3 - Actual car. Not a reservation.

Hello All - As I look forward to configuring my Model 3, I noticed in the various descriptions and videos of the configurator that you need to select either "Cash" or "Financing" when ordering. My assumption was "Financing" means financing through Tesla, however I wanted to have the option to...

In my experience, there are very few banks who are going to be able to do financing on a car with Tesla's value if you've never had a huge car loan before. Even with impeccable credit, few lenders would give me a loan without requiring 50k down because I never had a big car loan before. I...

Hi all, For those who have received the email to configure, but are waiting on some yet to be released feature for the Model 3, what does the email say about waiting? If you decline, does it say when you will get your next chance to configure? Sorry if this has been answered already, but I...

Not sure where exactly to ask this, or who would know but... i'm trying to get my hands on tesla part number 1027582-00-A , it's a special adapter which mounts to a european tow bar design made by Westfalia, but presents the square 2" tube standard for american trailers and such...

My lease ended on November 15th and was able to get Mercedes to give me two additional months to January 15. My current delivery estimate is November (ha) to January. Since I’m skeptical of getting car in January I’m looking for ideas of what to do for potentially a few weeks or up to a couple...

SoCal owner/line-waiter Invited to configure 11/22, ordered 11/23 “Four weeks” First call from DS a couple weeks ago: “Mid to late December” Last week: “Still shooting for end of year” Now: “Trying to get as many cars to people as soon as possible. Should be able to get you more...

Delivery specialist called at 7pm tonight. Said that I can have my car tomorrow. Four weeks to the day that they said my car would be ready in "four weeks". As luck would have it, I have the afternoon off. So picking up in Fremont at 3:15! In store order 3/31/16 Configured 11/21/17 VIN...

Hey all, My Tesla contact sent me lots of highly adjusted cars today. However, you have to be able to take delivery this year in order to buy them. If anyone is interested PM me and I'll see which cars are in your region. I've posted some of the cars as an example below. Happy Holidays!

So, maybe I missed a post on this already, but I've now spoken with Tesla personnel on two recent but different occasions regarding when various configurations will be available, and I am hearing that after "first production" cars, Tesla will be producing the standard range Model 3 with ONLY the...

Given the increasing robo call nuisance, if I get a call I don't recognize I ignore it or hangup upon hearing call center noise in the background. They called back and I answered .... to my surprise it was my Tesla Delivery Specialist! The caller ID was just the location (Los Vegas, NV) and...

I've noticed some anomolies in the estimated delivery dates for the east coast. I'm a current owner and reserved on 3/31/16. My estimated delivery time is Jan - March. My brother, who also lives on the east coast (North Carolina) is not a current owner and reserved 3/31/16. His estimated...

Yesterday I changed the Oil in my wife's car. In the process, the usual mostly unavoidable of getting used hot oil all over my hands (gloves, but still) and arms (not so covered). Thanks GM for this. Thank you for the dedication you've shown in designing a horrible oil filter location. Just...

Considering the number of posts about horror stories on delivery I thought I'd share mine, which was very positive overall. I arrived a few minutes early, last Wednesday, to get my S75D. After a few minutes my DS came with another person, who turned out to be the one really taking care of my...
