Mid Range waiting room

[jsrawa]

Can anyone confirm what adapters should be in the UMC package? The one checklist has a NEMA 6-50 listed but I don’t have it and I don’t think it’s even included.

It's not. 5-15 and 14-50 should be there.

I mean that's pretty much only half a week of production, which is actually insanely impressive if it's that low.

Congrats on everyone on the wait!

Also, that figure was before the last day of sales, where dozens of stores stayed open till midnight. So the worst case seems to be 3k minus a lot.

So did everyone get their Model 3 before the end of the year?

so nobody was left behind? i read they have about 3,000 cars left over strewn about the US, not sure how accurate that is though obviously.

glad to hear everyone seems to have gotten their cars! congrats to all!

One of my friends with a Long Range 3 was waiting for Standard Range to come out to get another for his wife. Well yesterday when we heard the stores were open until midnight and that some locations had some unsold, he gave a call and they had her exact config in a Mid-Range available. So last night at 11 pm, they became a two-tesla family!

It's only every 20 seconds if you have your hands off of the wheel (which, of course, you shouldn't). They've gotten the hand detection to be much better in my experience over the past 4 or 5 months, to the point that I'm surprised whenever I get the prompt since it's so rare.

I rest my hands on my legs so both hands are at 5 and 7 o’clock and always ready to grab wheel.

Translated: I keep my hands off the wheel.

that's why they were open until midnight! congrats to them!

honestly friend that's why you get the nags. holding the wheel isn't that much more/less effort than resting your hand on your leg. doing so, they happen a lot less often, for me.

I will try it. Reducing nags would be welcomed and safer.

I do the same, I find I can rest my hands lightly on the wheel to decrease the nags. I wasn't doing this initially and the nags were too often and more intrusive.

yesterday i went 18 miles using AP for most of it and didn't get one nag. i hold the wheel between my left thumb and fingers with the back of my hand resting on my left leg. it moves the wheel and must feel enough resistance to not require nagging me.

I'm glad that it seems no-one here missed the 2018 delivery cut off. I did see folks on Twitter who ordered back in October and who did not receive their cars before EOY. Delivery location was Hawaii, so there were probably some unique challenges, but it will be interesting to see how the few who missed out while be taken care (given Elon's prior tweet about covering the credit difference in such cases).

Oh weird...I've seen a whole bunch of YouTube videos of home deliveries and people saying on FB groups that they were able to actually see and track their car to their house using the app on the day of delivery! Thought that was the norm...

I did the same. But i had inspected the CAR during the day and tracked while CAR was being delivered.

It will be interesting to see because now with the price drop that difference is much smaller.

I have an order for MR pending since 4th March which does not show any VIN but have not been called yet to upgrade / downgrade. I have sent multiple emails and made phone calls, but my Owner Advisor and Delivery Specialist still maintains that I will get MR and dont need to change the order configuration. I am really confused because from what I have heard most of the people have been called to change their orders. Do we have anyone else who is still waiting for MR without a VIN assigned? I had earlier rejected a 2018 MR before it was discontinued, are they giving me a hard time for that?
