Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

If you have never driven a Tesla or another car with regen braking, then I would be wary of taking delivery of it during a snow storm.

Especially since Tesla's regen braking cannot be deactivated.

Even as I was about to respond with this -> "But aren't there different drive modes where it won't come into play? Hold, Roll/Creep etc.", I decided to look it up and it seems opinions vary on how helpful they are.

At any rate, if you are new to a Tesla Id suggest caution like @nanobeast recommends.

Here in north central PA this morning we had about 4 inches of ice/snow/freezing rain. I set acceleration to "chill" and the brakes to "creep" and all was well. No problem with regen braking. A smooth experience.

Still 2 weeks to go til delivery day but I am very intrigued by the fact that I still to this day have only received 1 communication which was the text to schedule my delivery (well 2 technically because email was also sent at the same time). Still don't have an official SA to my knowledge, never received a trade in text or have to sign the vision agreement. Very different experience from when I purchased my last 2 M3s but maybe I am just the odd man out?
I'm in a similar boat. I got a trade in text and the schedule delivery text but it seemed to be an automated text. No SAs reaching out to me to answer questions

Another delivery in preparation for the Tesla. Still just waiting on that VIN but at least I have something while I wait.
