    Wishing I had bought the X (current S owner) - think I can get a good deal?

    Took delivery of an inventory S 90 D in September w/ 500 miles. Built in May with PUP, AP 2, White interior, Premium Sound. Showroom discount of $16K taking the price down to $89K or so. Had it for about 4 months and it's at 8K miles right now. I'm really wanting an X, probably a 100D to cope...

    Effect of dealer purchase on warranty renewal

    I searched for this question, but didn't get a hit. I had pretty much eliminated the idea of buying from a dealer especially as their cars neared or exceeded 50K miles. I wonder if my perception was wrong about the effect of buying from a dealer. I understand one no longer needs to request...

    Marina Del Rey Delivery Center

    As a current Model S owner who has received their configuration email for the Model 3, do you think going to the delivery center will result in being able to see the Model 3 in person? I have yet to see one in the Inland Empire. I am planning on driving down there and Hawthorne supercharger...

    Need Guidance on Ordering Model S- 75 vs 100

    Folks, I'm looking to order a Model S within a few days. I was set on ordering a 75 primarily due to cost difference of (19.5K) to get to 100. That's honestly a lot for non-business owners who can write-off some expenses. I was also hoping that at some point, Tesla may offer a battery upgrade...

    Experience with Doering Leasing?

    Hello, Has anyone used them to lease a new/inv/cpo/used Tesla or, short of that, done business with them? Any feedback would be appreciated. They have been around for a while and seem reputable, but I think their Tesla business is new-ish. Thx Doering Leasing EV-CPO.com - Tesla New, Used...

    0-100kph 75D

    Hi was just doing my daily look at the custom order page to see if anythings have changed. I notice 0-100kph is now 5.2secs on the 75D. I thought it was sub 5secs before?

    P85D question(s)

    Newbie here. Wanting to buy a used P85D, and I'd love to get some input here.. Imagine two cars were available, each with 1 year left on warranty--one via private sale and the other by a dealer. My understanding is that if I want continued coverage, I could ask the private seller to purchase...

    Is Tesla Ripping Off Customers?

    In shopping around for a MX for my wife, I came across 2 window stickers that surely raised my eyebrows. Normally I consider myself quite smart, but in this case I feel I need a little bit of help understanding. Can someone please explain. Perhaps I'm missing something? Both vehicles are MX...

    Purchase in CO, Take Delivery in CA - Double Sales Tax?

    I am currently a resident of Highlands Ranch, CO, a bit south of Denver. After readying some posts dealing with paying double sales tax I wanted to see if anyone had any first hand knowledge of purchasing a Tesla here in Colorado but flying to California, taking delivery and subsequently getting...

    Percent of M3 Reservation Holders going AWD vs RWD

    Hi all, in order to better gauge delivery times for both All Wheel Drive and Rear Wheel Drive reservation holders, let us vote and figure out a rough percentage of people opting to wait for AWD availability vs RWD. If, for example, we see a ton of people waiting for AWD, then we can figure that...

    Exactly ONE vehicle now in inventory . . .

    Better hurry up if you want this overpriced Model S - a 75D built before the SAS became standard - And when I say over priced - there is no discount for a truly old model - we had our VIN assigned first week of October with early Dec delivery and our VIN is 35000 numbers higher than this

    MyTesla confused

    This morning 1/6 MyTesla showed things like pending payment and incomplete insurance info after configuring on the 4th. Loading was slower than usual. Now it says “Your Model 3 was reserved on 1/6/2018. You'll be invited to configure based on the date of your reservation. If you have any...

    Model 3 - whee!

    Nimble. Quick. Way fun to drive. We took delivery of our Model 3 1/4/2018 a couple days early at the Rocklin store. Differences: I am respectful of his Signature S but my Model 3 calls out the joy of being on the road. The screen is an easier transition than I was expecting. The GPS voice is...

    Will Tesla deliver 18"wheels without aero covers?

    If you configured with 18" wheels, can you request Tesla to deliver your car without the aero covers installed? Any experience out there? I would really want my very memorable photo of me (and the family) meeting our Tesla to be proper and not spoiled by aero covers...

    Current Owner in Iowa and 22nd in line - No Email to configure

    I took a day off, rented a car, drove for 6 hours and waited in line for 3 hours (in the freezing cold) to be one of the first to get a model 3 in my state. I later bought a model S (knowing it would move me in front of non-owners). My license plate is "Model 3" even. I've seen people who...

    Your advice appreciated!

    Hey community! I could use your advice. I have a 2016 Model S (June, post-facelift, pre-AP2) on a 3 year lease that expires in (you guessed it), June 2019. I like my car a lot, but am not sure what to do come end-of-lease. Do I: Lease into whatever new Model S hotness is on the...

    Just got my S!

    So excited to get my CPO model S finally! Look's like I got stuck with a AP2 car, I guess I should have joined these forums sooner to know about 2.5. Excited for the journey to begin to full self driving.

    Any current owners ordering for a friend?

    I have a friend willing to do it, just need to understand if it's possible what hoops there are to jump through. We would want to make sure the tax credit remains in my name.

    Holding reservation and then changing mind?

    I got my email to reserve the Model 3 with the LR battery. My wife wants to wait for the standard battery in "Early 2018". If I hit the "Hold My Place" button, can we change our mind let's say a month from now, can I place my order then? Who can I call and ask to get a definitive answer? Seems...

    Model 3 without Ap

    If I configure car without AP does it still have adaptive cruise control? Its wife's car and she hates when I place "S" in AP and she said will never use it but would probably use cruise.

    Taking delivery out of registration state?

    Have a model 3 on order on 3/31. I currently live in TN but the car will be registered in NY. Do you think it’ll be possible to take delivery in TN and transfer my old plates to it? Does anyone have experience with out of state delivered with an S or X?

    Does owner priority still apply if reservation is transferred to non-owner?

    My boss really wants a Tesla Model 3 but he has yet to put down a reservation. His mother, however, is a current Tesla owner. I think I've read about reservations being transferable but only to immediate family members. (I could be wrong, though...) If his mother were to place a reservation...

    Question about reservation delivery estimates by location...

    Hey there. This is (mostly) a theoretical question- as I've got a PHEV and 1 year into a 4 year lease. But just curious if anyone can shed some light on this scenario. I never put down a reservation for Model 3, with plans to reserve a Model Y when they become available. Here in Canada, if I...

    Current owner, new reservation timeline?

    First run interior

    The "black" interior is more of a light charcoal than a black. Much better than my wife expected. Just something I found worthy of posting. The photos don't really depict the true color.

    Cannot Pair Phone as Key?

    Just took delivery today, experienced an issue that won't let us pair our phones to the car as a key. Is anyone else having this issue or is it isolated to just us? Were told it was a Tesla wide thing, but not sure if that's true or not.

    Problematic CPO Experience

    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...

    Model 3 Speaker Bug
