experience

I have a Model 3 on order and decided to look on Social Media and on here to get a sense of how Delivery would go. I fell down a rabbit hole of horror stories and terrible Service Center experiences and am now I am starting to second guess even going through with purchasing the car. I know there...

Hi fam, been a bit. This forum was so helpful while I was ordering and waiting for my MYP and I want to continue to return the favor to new and would be new owners. As such, I've made a full video on my top 5 good, bad and ugly after owning my MYP for a year. It hasn't been perfect, there's more...

Wanted to share my thoughts from our 1st road trip in 2019 M3 (AWD) and general summary concerns with Tesla. (It’s a fantastic car for family - yes tight in space but other things make up for it). Having said that I’ll list the negatives here (for others to point workaround(s), or user error to...

Thought I'd share my pickup experience from today. Purchased new Model Y Long Range, White exterior, black interior, 19'' wheels. Car had a small paint blemish above the right rear wheel, our sales agent made note and added it to their system so that it's repair will be free of charge and at...

Hello all! I wanted to detail my pickup experience for my AWD/LR/Blue/Black/FSD MY yesterday in Orlando. Our pick up was yesterday at 4 pm, however, returning my lease was much faster than I anticipated so I made it to Tesla at about 3 pm. Since there was/is a hurricane impending, they moved...

Hi! 1. Is it "safer" to purchase used Model S from tesla.com/used than dealerships? 2. What are some important things to look/test for if I do go with a dealership (which seems cheaper) vs from Tesla I did lots of digging on reddit but I was hoping to get some inputs from the community here on...

Hey all, this is a long shot, but I know how passionate the Tesla community is and figured I'd give it a try... Every year in my workplace, we get a day off as a "treat" and this includes an experience of some kind which each employee would really enjoy, tailored to their tastes. It works like...

Hi Fellow Tesla Owners, I figure I'd share my buying experience from start to finish for my Model 3 since we ran into a few hiccups. We ordered a 2019 Model 3 with the white interior but there were some issues with Tesla having white interior available so they ended up giving us a 2018...

The Purchase Story – My 2015 S P85D I purchased a USED 2015 Model S P85D directly from Tesla on Sep 20th 2018 in the heat of the model 3 bump up. It was not a perfect purchase but not nearly as bad as other users have faced. I was originally going to get the Model 3D but I was having a hard...

I have owned a Model S and a Model X, and I can share that my experiences have been vastly different so far. My Model S experience (started Nov 2015 in Southern California) was amazing. My Model X experience (December 2018 in Boston Area) has been horrific. I am only going to talk about one...

Wow!!! There are a lot of horror stories on here about delivery and there are a few good stories. This is a “How car buying should be” story, sorry CarMax but Tesla has you beat. It started with the reservation on Oct 8, 2018. I wanted the tech so I reserved a black LR RWD with aero but wanted...

I am so excited my delivery date got moved up. I am looking for people that have had an experience, good or bad, at the new delivery center on Florida Ave. I’m also curious to know how the quality of cars have been. It’s a long way from Fremont which means there’s is a lot that can happen along...

So I've had the Model 3 since the middle of July and haven't had any issues besides some crazy battery draining. Anyway, this past Sunday (September 23) I got in the car with my keycard (my phone doesnt have the best service at my apartment) and once I got in NOTHING was turning on. The app...

Hi, My MX delivery is scheduled for Sep 20th 5 PM at International Center near the Toronto Pearson Airport. Has anyone taken a delivery of MX at IC in September ( I hear all September deliveries are now happening at IC starting Tuesday Sep 11)? If yes, please let us know how it went (the...

Wanted to share my experience with attempting to get a Model 3. Like many people, on March 31, 2016, I paid a deposit of $1000 for a Model 3. On April 15, 2018, I received my configuration email. It said that my car would be ready in 3-6 weeks. I completed the configuration and paid the...

In 2003 after getting my first job after college, I purchased my first new car. It was a VW Jetta. That was my first and only experience purchasing a car for myself until today. I have wanted a Tesla since ~2011 and I purchased stock that year. I put down a reservation for a Model S, but...

Hello All, I am new to the site so please forgive me if a similar thread already exists.. I have recently placed the deposit on a 2013 CPO Model s 60kwh and cant seem to get my browser to look up anything other than Tesla Model S :D I decided to go with a 60kwh due to the face that my commute...

Hello, I am currently in my last year of Bachelor study for IT & Management and I am looking very closely when Tesla will enter market for Czech Republic (they build first Supercharger recently 09/2016). My question to anyone who is familiar with the issue is this (or anyone willing to join...

Hi everyone! I take delivery of my model s tomorrow so I have been more aggressively combing through the forums to learn as much as I can, one thing has stood out though: I couldn't help but notice the high volume of posts with nightmarish stories. From autopilot parking crashes and spontaneous...

I searched the threads for information on trade ins but all I see were threads on trading in Teslas. Does anyone have any experience with trading in their internal combustion vehicle for a Tesla. I currently own a Nissan I have 11 months left on. How easy / fair is the process through Tesla...

I plan to meet with Premier Solar as a possible candidate to install solar panels on my residential roof in San Antonio, TX. They have offices in Arizona, California, Nevada, South Carolina, and Texas. I can't seem to find any reviews and/or experiences about this company so just wondering if...

Dear Mr. Musk, We are Dennis and Jeroen, two students at the Technical University of Twente. This weekend, we rented a Tesla for a weekend which had already 98.000 km on it. However, it still felt and smelt new, drove more than perfect and was driving like the future. In short, the trip was...

I got this beast on 03/31. This is my first car ever (you will get to know by my excitement). The most expensive car that I had driven before this was Honda Civic (Zipcar). I was always a car enthusiast but could not drive much as I was busy with studies traveling to different states and...

Hi, I've currently got a BMW 330d msport touring, it's my 3rd one having moved up from a 320 & 325. I've grown quite attached to my BMWs and really went to try out the Tesla just to rule it out. Has anyone made a similar switch and what's your experience been like? What's the good points...

I own/run a small car detailing and coating business up in North Bay called Robust Auto Detailing, California and for me this was my first time exhibiting for any event ever. I must say, it was a positive experience and all of you who came to visit my booth, I would like to thank you for sharing...

Like many of you, I scoured these forums for the weeks leading up to confirming my Tesla and while waiting for it to arrive, and I greatly appreciate all the time, energy, passion, and useful advice posted by so many of you. I thought it time to contribute my little bit. The most difficult...
