That is annoying, it reminds me of the fact that TX residents will need the car sent out of state to purchase an Austin vehicle… makes no sense at all. It just shows how lobbyists in this and other industries can inhibit disrupters with local level laws and requirements (I’m looking at you, ISPs).
....A choice, Tesla will deliver from the factory they determine and I really doubt they will deliver two different vehicles in the US at the same time but they do some really stupid things when it comes to product delivery. You can bet it will only be an advantage to them not you.
Wonder how many uber credits they'll give you when you drop it off
.Haha, on the off chance I need to leave it for multiple days I’ll be crossing my fingers for a loaner X. I put my chances at around 1%…Wonder how many uber credits they'll give you when you drop it off
Uber makes a fortune off Tesla so does Lyft. I had as much as $500 in credits.Wonder how many uber credits they'll give you when you drop it off
wonder if Must owns stock in those companies? probably gets a huge discount.
hahaha, had a funny thought. Reminds me of how some stories start with...I grew up in such a small town it only had one stop sign... Yours would be...our town was so small our first Tesla had to come by direct carrier and our closest supercharger was 120 miles away...
...You need to have special pucks like these to properly jack up your car.wonder if Must owns stock in those companies? probably gets a huge discount.
heard even for a flat tire, Tesla mobile service has to come as most tire places don't want to work on Tesla or need a special jack?

Might very well be the case. I'm getting delivery to Springfield, NJ
I've heard of some tire places that don't want to touch a Tesla, but certainly not most tire places. I see Teslas getting their tires at Discount Tire, Costco, and others all the time. I've asked them about the pucks too, and they said don't worry about it. They primarily use lifts, which come with pucks. And when they do use jacks, they carry their own pucks. In short, they said if you go to any licensed, certified tire shop, they know exactly how to lift/jack a Tesla or any other EV.
I will at some point be swapping my own tires, so I have the pucks. Additionally, I think they might come in handy if I end up doing a roadside repair myself. If you live somewhere where you don't have to worry about that, You're right. Probably don't need 'em.
I am still holding in the April 11 - May 9 range, and have been a week or two now. I like that range of dates and hope they have a few more things figured out, and additional clarity for us on some things, by then. @DrGriz , will be continuing to watch your experience.
At least not in North America. Not yet anyway.
Only the Model 3 standard has LiFP batteries in North America.
In the US only the M3 SR comes with an LFP The LFP battery is imported from China.
Where did you see these rumors? All I have seen so far is a redesigned CCS chargeport for MS and MX.
