Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[jjrandorin]

The range reduction reported comes from Australian customers and it is only about 7.5 miles (12 km).

7.5 miles... from the WLTP rating, which is even more fantastically "unobtainium" than the EPA rating, which to this point has not been changed.

I am around 815 with little debt, so not worried about that. I wanted to use DCU for 72 months but they wont do below 2.50% at 72 months unless I setup direct deposit on my paychecks. That is not required at Carolina, correct?

Correct. Carolina does not require recurring deposits; only a recommended deposit of $150 at account opening to cover any costs of overnighting you documents if necessary. And of course, whatever is not used toward courier costs, will remain in the member account to do as you please.

You ordered your car on Discord?! And it being delivered 4 days later?! Existing inventory maybe, but a build date of 1/15!?!?

What's happening here!?

A VIN just after one day of ordering??? Am I missing something?

I'm guessing he used the Discord that keeps track of when cars are added to inventory. Since the car is already made and in stock, the turnaround is usually only a few days. It's how I got my first Tesla back in September.

I still have my reservation and I'm likely to get the go-ahead to order as well. I saw the pricing tool and was shocked it cost 20k to add the extended range battery for an XLT. I think Tesla resale will hold for awhile and even before Covid, they held their value well. As the US transitions to EVs as a country, most will be looking at used so there should be a steady market. Their tech is just so far ahead and people know it. To get your phone to function as a key with the lightning, you gotta drop 90k, it's insane. I'm a fan of the lightning but it's so far behind on tech and who knows how many learning curves they will have with batteries. While you see people complain about panel gaps or certain updates with Tesla, they do a ton really well. I don't know how well Ford has addressed preconditioning and their charging network. If you can't use your phone on the XLT, preconditioning is worse than remote start haha. Just my two cents on why I chose to go with Tesla and a car vs Ford and a truck.

Are the batteries on Ford EV's actively temperature controlled like Tesla's?

Same with me. Probably not a good sign

 

[KN0607]

oh, it’s not just me! EDD is TBD now.

 

[hottsauce]

Posted earlier today that my new date is February 6-March 6.
Just checked again and it says TBD on the website. What the hell? Is that normal?

 

[frnk.hspr]

Same with me. Probably not a good sign

Likely due to a website update. Happens from time to time.

 

[KN0607]

Guess something to keep us occupied and have something to discuss as we wait.
