    In praise of an excellent order and delivery service - Nashville

    One reads on these forums, as one does, of many complaints when a product or service doesn't meet up to reasonable expectations. That is the nature of online forums, which are necessarily heavily biased towards complaints and problems. It is the dissatisfied customer who has the greatest...

    This Week Tesla & Companies

    Realized I left out a very important step in the relationship progression example I used by way of intro post before last. When he lets you drive it. Hot ticket item. Tesla stocks rise as markets recognize PepsiCo in semi preorder driver seat. They've joined the queue with their 100 truck buy...

    Order now or delay till later? opinions please

    Situation- I got my email to configure Model 3 today. it says delivery expected in 4 weeks. The problem is, I don't really need another car right now, but I will need one in about 2 years. I can afford to buy the car with minimal financial pain, but my wife would be happier if I didn't...

    Non-Repeal of Tax Credit on Tax Bill Conference Agreement

    I downloaded the Tax Bill Conference Agreement, and on page 568 of 1097 pages I found the following section. My take (as well as Bloomberg, Fortune, and CleanTechnica) on this is that the repeal of the $7,500 tax credit did not make it into the final conference agreement. Here below is the...

    Model 3 Deliveries

    Today is a bittersweet day for me since I took delivery my Model 3 but this will also be my last post on TMC for reasons explained later. First, trip down memory lane: Late March 2016 I got in a line at 4am, with a bunch of crazy tesla fanboys like myself! So I was moderately high up the...

    EAP vs FSD number of cameras used for Model 3?

    Just got my invite and was looking at the config page options for EAP vs FSD. On the Model S page there is a fairly extensive description of each that mentions opting in to FSD gets you access to all 8 cameras (eventually :rolleyes: ). So I was contemplating ordering the option on my 3 just...

    Will there be a cream interior color?

    I may have missed this but I know that currently there is only black interior and at some point will have white. What are the chances that Tesla will make cream/beige color, similar to MS, available? Or even gray, which would be my preference?

    DS promises?

    Ordering Floor Mats & other items before Configuration?

    What are others doing regarding ordering of the frunk and trunk cargo mats and other items (i.e. sunshade) in the Tesla store? Are you ordering now or waiting for your configuration email? My concern is Tesla's tendency to have items on back order. I haven't seen any pictures of new...

    So, what happens if you're out of town when your car is ready for delivery?

    I travel a fair amount. When my much-awaited invite comes, I will know all my travel plans for the next few months, but apparently people are told when they order that delivery will be in "about 4 weeks" and then at some point they'll be notified "Your car is ready." Will Tesla be willing to...

    No success in getting a loan

    I have decided to try to get a Tesla for my next car because where I live traffic is horrible not only that my car takes up so much gas. So I applied for a couple car loans and was denied. The reason why is because I don’t have any loan history for as much as I’m requesting which is $89k. The...

    Reservation Swap? Is it possible?

    Hi All, I reserved my Model 3 at the Costa Mesa Store on 3/31 around 11AM. I am not a current Tesla owner so my delivery time frame is Dec 2017 - Feb 2018. Which I am thinking it's more like Feb Delivery if I am lucky. Due to my car situation, my current lease will be up in Feb and this...

    Web reservations given priority over line standers?

    Is it possible that individuals who reserved Model 3 online immediately after the reveal are getting priority over individuals who waited in line at Tesla stores to reserve Model 3 hours earlier? The latest episode of Talking Tesla (episode 116) indicates that this may be the case, as Robert...

    Credit Card for Downpayment?

    Tesla allows the initial $2500 deposit to order your car to be put down using a credit card. Will they allow the remaining 10% I am not financing to be put on a credit card also?

    Given the recent delivery issues others have seen, I thought I'd tell you all about mine. We've already had the car about 10 weeks now and have taken a cross country trip in it. But that's ahead of the story. Living in Boise which happens to be almost exactly between the Salt Lake City and...

    Front License Plate at Delivery

    Hi, my delivery date for my new Model X is nearing closer and I really don't want a front license plate. Does anyone know if I need to request that with my DS or if the Model X just doesn't comes with the bracket or anything in the front, I live in the state of IL. If anyone has recently picked...

    MX delivery - license bracket?

    Hello, We'll be taking delivery of our MX in a couple weeks. The folks from Tesla told me that there will be a front license bracket installed. From what I remember, the S has the bracket and X did not. Did something change recently?

    First- its not my car - my bride has wanted a Tesla since 2012. I'm here to get and share info and experiences - we're not greenies or fanboys, we use the vehicle for the benefits it provides - mainly carpool lane access and the ability to avoid gas stations and then the cool factor for my...

    Delayed Delivery

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this kind of situation. Was making my 1.5 hour trek to my Tesla location to pick up my brand new MS yesterday when I got an email about 30 minutes into the drive from my DS. He informed me that his service team found a defect in the driver door...

    Showroom Discount - Adjustment

    I reserved my inventory model X on Nov 30th. I’m picking it up at the end of this month. While I am very happy with the showroom discount, I’ve read that other people had luck getting the discount increased closer to delivery day because the car is now one month older. Is it common to ask for...

    I’ve been invited to configure. Should I?

    I was a day 1 (31st here in the US) reservation holder who waited in line at the Palo Alto Tesla store. Fully intended to get a Model 3 as the Model S seemed like a bit of overkill (size and $ wise). I would bide my time until Model 3 came to production. Then Tesla announced in March of this...

    Toronto and Oakville Delivery Update

    Are Model 3s "mode to order" like S and X? I think we've all presumed they will, but I'm not so sure. Is You You's car in "production" mode? I was just looking over my order agreement and it says, "Once you submit your completed order, we will locate a vehicle to match your Vehicle...
