Production

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"?

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...

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?

hey guys, I have been watching the used tesla model S market for the past few months and the very rare time a tesla model s shows up that has the features i want and the minimum year i also want is scooped up quickly and gone. Price is also a consideration. Anyway fast forward to this email. I...

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...

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...

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...

Hi, Order date - 10/08 Confirmed - 10/12 In transit - 12/8 Pick up reservation date 12/28 - Austin Del. Center. My DS believes (last spoke 12/11) could expect possible early delivery before XMAS. TBD.....

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...

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...

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...

Thanks all you lucky %$#^$%#^ who already received your invites and posted it on the spreadsheet. I am so jealous. For those who have not posted, please take a minute if you can so the rest of us poor souls can dream about when we too can get our own 3. For those not yet invited, I've also...

notified pre thanksgiving assigned vin 1669 taken away within a day then told new vin in " few days" nothing to date.anybody else in la area like this or am I the 0nly one?

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?

I thought most owners experienced roughly a week when their vehicles entered production until it cleared production. I received this...... "Your beautiful Tesla is being built! Looks like mid-December. As it progresses and clear I will keep you posted." ......from my DS on the 30th of...

Hello fellow owners, I'm looking to add a Model X to our fleet and I'd like to get some feedback from those who have been there/ done that. My daily driver is a MS 85D which we will be keeping. I do a lotta hiway travel so the range and supercharging for life is essential. I'd like to get...

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...

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...

I am receiving my new Model S next Friday and cannot wait. I'll be checking everything out carefully and still need to get my wall charger installed in the garage. I have a 200 AMP panel and they want to add a 100 amp connection to it. I hope it doesn't overload. :) I plan to get the whole...

Tesla Model 3 production is increasing to 5,000 units per week, say suppliers

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...

Okay I was early invite. was given a VIN about 10 days ago I had it only for a day. then it was pulled from My tesla acct. was told via phone it was because it had to be delivered in marina del rey so they had assign new Vin would be a "few days" they can still give no idea when new vin will be...

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...
