Looks really good, color of the car matches your dogs :) Spooky fast? From what car are you coming from to have a frame of reference?




when i doubt, there is no doubt. Are you hoping AWD is faster than 4.5 0-60? Likely you hear this form everybody, if you got the money get Performance and maybe skip EAP and FSD as those can be added later, but not Performance

I couldn't justify the extra cost for performance, and based on a few brief highway runs last night, there was no need to. The car accelerates just as smoothly above sixty mph as it does below it. I don't have a VBOX, so I can't fill the craving for precise numbers. But I can say that we took both neighbors and family out for spins last night and everyone left the car with a ridiculous grin.
 
Not a current owner, Reserved 4/6/16, never got my email to config but configed 6/27/18, AWD,MSM,18" Aero, EAP
I changed from 3rd party financing to cash on 8/4 and it disappeared. The verbiage on paperwork happened immediately at that point.
I had no vin as of 2 days ago.

I reserved before you (4/1/16) and also configured 6/27/18 with the exact specs as yours. I still have an edit button (trade-in is pending, all other areas are checked green). I'm in the northeast, too. Wonder if you get a vin and delivery before me?

What number did you call to get an update?
Their general sales # at 1-888-518-3752. Waited for about 20 min. I have my current car ending its lease in the next month and wanted more details on status to know what I should do with it. The agent was super nice about looking into more details of my order to help inform my decision. I thanked him a lot, knowing that their phone lines are getting bombarded these days. Glad I called and waited though!

I did the same and was advised to call at night. There's is a 24x7 service and wait times are less at night.
 
It's never too early to wire the garage.

Not entirely true. If you order a wall connector before your VIN is assigned my understanding is that it will just be covered under a basic 1 year parts warranty.

Whereas if you order it after your VIN is assigned, it is connected to the VIN and is warrantied for 4 years.

I still installed my HPWC early because I had a gap in my schedule when I could get the work and the inspection done and didn't want to have to take any time off from a new job to do all of that.

I didn't know that. My current car is a 2012 Prius Plugin Advanced and when this house was built I had the garage prewired with a 220 line for a Level 2 charger. At that time a lvl 2 charger required a 30a circuit so, rather than future-proofing the run from the main panel to the sub panel and plug for the charger, he put it on a 30a circuit wired for 30a not 50a. It is 50a to the subpanel. Sure, would I have liked a 48a circuit for my model3? Of course. Do I need it? No. There is likely an 18" run from the subpanel to the plug which is an orange insulated 3 prong wire. If I am not mistaken that orange color is coding for 30a max. Now that the garage is insulated and drywalled I don't know that it is important enough to replace that 18" length of 30a wire with an 18" length of a 50a or 60a wire. My belief is that the run from the main to the sub could take 60a so running the sub at 60a is the cost of a breaker.

While I didn't know there was a distinction between when one purchases the Tesla charger, that wasn't really my point, the expensive part, seems to me, is running a line to the garage and to where the charger will go. Having the charger wired is small compared to the creation of a subpanel and 60a circuit for the charger when you get it.

Oh, you've ordered the entire thing through Tesla? I thought one would order the charger and have some local guy install, pretty much how I got the Leviton installed. Of course the Pruis charges on the passenger side whereas the M3 on the driver side.
