I passed on spending the extra $6000 it does come with a basic warning system that does move you out of the way. And I don’t trust the summon a car feature.Debating on getting enchanced autopilot what are your thoughts ?

Ordered 5/29/22 M3 LR Silver, white interior, 18" aero wheels. EDD Sept-Dec 2022
Updated today: Sept 4th-Oct 16th
Wow this color looks way better than it does on the website. I'm actually tempted to switch to red.
Decisions, decisions...
I bought it as soon as it came out. I haven't gotten my car yet though but it seems to be everything I want. The NOA and autolane change will be a big help. I honestly don't care about city driving will probably never use it until it's level 5 which is years away. My EDD did instantly bump out a month when I bought it and has not returned so beware to anyone buying it while waiting on the carDebating on getting enchanced autopilot what are your thoughts ?
I was tempted to switch as well when I was waiting for my car. Someone in this thread mentioned that if I switched I might get delivery date pushed back so decided against it. Turns out I’m super happy with Pearl White. Every time I drive my car by a red Model 3 I ask myself whether I made the right decision. 2 weeks in, it is a resounding yes. I actually like Pearl White better now - even if the Red were free and I could switch I still wouldn’t. The Pearl White is very easy on the eyes and in some weird way makes me feel very calm about driving and parking. If there’s something I would do differently, it’d be to get white interior. I was parked next to a white on white Model 3 the other day. Had to admit the other car looked slightly better
Hmm guess I’ll throw my two cents in here. I’ve owned several cars , x5 M series, 750i(used), Lexus and never had a Mercedes but ridden in a few. Build quality on all of those we’re about they same and they all had issues just like this Tesla I’m about to take delivery on.Couldn't agree more. I went with Tesla with my eyes open and wasn't deluded in anyway. At the same price point, one should expect similar build quality but it's not. That's ok, but rather than simply accepting (as the previous poster did) it is important to voice one's concerns on such forums. If the collective can do/say something, Tesla may listen and improve their build quality over time. If we simply accept, Tesla will remain mediocre. That's all I'm saying!
Hello everyone,
I just ordered my first Tesla model 3. I’m super excited. Really wanted the Y but out of my price range. How is everyone enjoying your model 3’s.
Something to keep in mind is that including a software feature like that on your purchase increases the official price of your vehicle. So it ceases to be a $60,000 car and becomes a $66,000 car. If your state charges fees, taxes, licensing or other such things based on the purchase price of the car, it's much better to wait until after buying the car to obtain the option. Also, if you get the option afterwards, you can put it on your credit card and get your card's awards on a sizeable sum of money.Debating on getting enchanced autopilot what are your thoughts ?
It looks very fun to drive. I rode in one time. It was amazing.Only 4 days in but absolutely loving it. As someone who drove the Y LR, the 3 is more fun. Maybe not as family friendly but in my opinion superior in every other way.
Great point...I'm a VA resident as well and not looking forward to the personal property tax bill coming.Something to keep in mind is that including a software feature like that on your purchase increases the official price of your vehicle.

I foolishly included FSD on my purchase and now I'll be paying Virginia state taxes each year on not only an expensive car but on an expensive software option as well. I also missed out on some nice rebates available on my credit card.
I will probulay never use the summon feature more for the nag on autopilot and land changes but just come to terms for lying an extra 6k for a car I'm already paying 60k for.I passed on spending the extra $6000 it does come with a basic warning system that does move you out of the way.

It depends... in NY the tax on car purchase is much lower then then tax on other sales. Also I can add the purchase to my financing and ride it out. If I put it on a credit card it's going to greatly increase the utilization of that card which will hurt my credit score as wellSomething to keep in mind is that including a software feature like that on your purchase increases the official price of your vehicle.

Charlotte or Raleigh pick up?Graduation day was yesterday - car actually had 0 issues and went through the long checklist…has matrix headlights, ryzen, and Michelin tires. Thanks to everyone in the forum for keeping my sanity over 93 days. Hope everyone enjoys their cars as much as I do!
Have you gotten contacted about a trade in before? I got the text back in May before my EDD slid way back.I know the Trade In text doesn’t mean much these days as they seem to come in rather randomly for most. But I got rather excited today when I got a PHONE CALL from Tesla regarding my trade in, to which I explained I sold my car already to someone else for way more then they originally offered. The girl I spoke with then proceeded to verify that everything I have done so far is good to go minus the insurance paperwork which she said I could do as soon as my VIN arrives. She then said a VIN should populate ”soon” in the app. Gonna take it with a grain of salt but my EDD as of now starts on this Thursday.
I got a trade in text the day after I placed my order so I never really put much thought into all the Trade In talk but this time they called. And that was even after I confirmed a week and a half ago with my SA that the trade in I originally requested for was declined and removed from order. I almost declined the number till I realized it said Fremont, CA.Have you gotten contacted about a trade in before? I got the text back in May before my EDD slid way back.
