Carvana only offered me $26,000. I was offended.

So i Got my VIN today. I pick up my cashier check from my CU tomorrow. Will they schedule me a day for delivery so I can hand them the check. I didn’t want my CU sending it to them.

They were the lowest of the 3 for me but still more than Tesla offered
Yeah I was offended by both Tesla and Carvana honestly. Honda paid over KBB for it, but it was pretty clean despite a 3 year old terrorizing it... and my husband wrecking it twice in 20 months.
Okay, looks like they don’t want people referring and earning free kWh while they wait for delivery. They used to give it to you, now it’s just hidden. I know it’s definitely still there because my friend (currently awaiting delivery) gave me her link when I wanted to order a second Model Y, but had to ask for it since this was the week the policy changed to mask links.
I enjoy Bay Area as well, but only traveled through a couple times briefly, never stationed at Travis, so can’t speak to living there. Southern CA was also pretty neat, stationed at LA for 4 years just left a few months ago. My time in CA gave me a great education on real world Tesla experience by learning from owners, rather than just reading and YouTube. Good luck to your husband on his deployment! I wish him safe journeys/missions.
@BitJam my wife was born on base at Seymour Johnson! And rest assured the test pilots are still out there at Travis getting it done
Hubs is from 29 Palms. It's quite literally the armpit of Cali down there. After seeing 1/3 of all cars out here being Teslas, I couldn't not follow suit. His deployment is just CONUS (not a real deployment but don't tell him that).I enjoy Bay Area as well, but only traveled through a couple times briefly, never stationed at Travis, so can’t speak to living there.

Are you saying a few more miles is a fair trade. Did you mean for all the schedule delivery date screw ups, or for the lack of a radar or maybe for the lack of lumbar support for the passenger? Or maybe because the Sentry Mode might not be fixed when you pick it up?
I luckily had texted my link to a friend a few months ago. And I needed to look up that text so I could find the code to send to my uncle. And this was all before I had delivery.
Don’t get too excited over it. The increase is only 5%. He was guessing that at best we would see the range go from 326 to 340 miles. A nice bump, but no game changer.
I mean... that's another half commute to work though...

I saw this! What a pleasant and (much needed) surprise!
Kind of interesting that they don’t promote these changes more on social…

He put out another video today where he told us the vins that he knew had the new battery. 197 & 204 I think

Good info! Been following him for awhile, good to hear that at least there’s some sort of future proofing with range efficiency.
The two hitch cover is not too hard to remove. The first time I tried to remove it, I just used a flat screw driver (but a dull one without sharp edges) to insert into the upper right corner and carefully slightly pry it out a bit until my finger can catch the corner. Then I used my hand from there, just "peeling" it out from right to left.
LOL I'll admit I have and do... hence my volley of posts one after another and then silence for hours LOL
I know... but he warned me that there are hard core fanboys out there that will lash out viciously. I decided not to read any of the comments on the article to save myself the anxiety. People will thing and say what they want. My only goal is to help TSLA succeed and sometimes you need to have your flaws pointed out so you can fix them. Its all part of growing and improving. They can afford to get away with sub-par customer facing policies now because they are hands above any competition but that will not last forever. Think about Starbucks, if they treated their customers like this would people pay $5 for their coffee? probably not as much as they do now, people would go back to their corner store coffee shops, DD or Wawa for us on the east (don't know the equivalent in the central and west sorry).
On another note my EDD slipped to the generic September so looks like I'll be calling my SA again today to find out what the story is. Wonder if I pissed someone off and they threw me back to the end of the queue...? ROFL wouldn't that be something
