Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[cfl246tho]

This isn't sarcasm I'm genuinely wondering why someone would buy FSD rather then the subscription. Especially at FSD current price point

That's a question I pondered and I'm sure many have as well. I talk about my thoughts in my post earlier.
I think there's a good chance the monthly cost of FSD will increase at some point, if/as they keep increasing the full purchase price. And if FSD gets much, much better (consider the improved FSD training they'll achieve when Dojo is fully operational), then I think it should improve the value of FSD enough to boost resale value (since FSD is an integral feature of the car, like accel. boost, not an owned software license). Granted, the resale price boost probably won't grow as much as purchase price, but better than it is now. But that's speculation. I can readily see how many people are skeptical now, as I was. Fortunately I can afford to buy FSD at the pre-$15k price, now. In other times or higher prices, I might not have chosen/might not choose to splurge.

i think it is a combination of people
1. who want FSD before a huge price hike (as you just said) and intend on keeping the car for a very long time at which point the depreciation is negligible and it is more economical vs subscription
2. people with so much money they dont consider 15k to be all that much (and that is a decent percentage of tesla customers)
3. people who hope that they can one day use their car as a robo-taxi for passive income and want to (once again) get in before another price hike

I received this from Tesla: unable to disembarked vehicle from it's transportation until the railyard issues are resolved.
I scheduled delivery two times and now they won’t even allow me to schedule until they have a better idea. It has been almost a month. Anyone else experience this? I am in NY.

I'm in Florida with a scheduled DD 9/20. I've been wondering if a rail strike might happen and how the risk is already changing transportation. I really hope my 9/20 DD can be kept. I read the federal government might intervene to block any strike so as to not make the commerce and the economy worse, and not further aggravate inflation. We'll see. I'm not stating an opinion about that, just the facts as I understand them.

FWIW, it is of small value, but I stumbled upon truck driver's YouTube video loading Tesla's in Alabama, where they had been offloaded at a rail-yard there. He was taking his cars to NC. But that was some time ago. It's only value to me was learning how they load those trucks, how some drivers admire the Tesla's they carry, and that in at least one case deliveries to SE USA are shipped by rail and transferred to truck in Alabama.

You know, we have the same EDD range in the same general area. I am doing the same too! I'm hoping we get VINs sometime this week!

We need VINs….

 

[guerro]

Yeah I don’t think I’ll currently tint the front windshield. Just good try for side windows at first. Maybe itll feel weird

You can do a clear tint that has 99% UV protection which is really what you are after anyway.

Yeah, my thought is to do sides first and then later I can tint the rest

Car is ready for delivery! Can't wait for tomorrow

 

[Willys22]

Set an appointment just now (9/16).

Four-days window was shifted from 9/16-9/19 to 9/12 to 9/16, however, it turned out that the earliest date was 9/16.

I asked SA with VIN (348*) and was confirmed that mine comes with the matrix headlights!

The checklist pdf is way too long. I found on my local FB tesla group about this web app for the checklist (Tesla Prep).

I am just going to do some visual checks and if anything, make a service appt.

Thanks for the link! That's a way more convenient way of keeping track of everything than a PDF. Will be using it tomorrow

Soon soon. They are working thru batches so once the next msm one comes you will be a part of it. However you are 1000% sure you don't have any weird glitches on your order like I did?

 

[deuskid]

I have a bad feeling that my 344xxx has some kind of problem and I'll need to reject it tomorrow.

 

[phaheem]

However you are 1000% sure you don't have any weird glitches on your order like I did?

nope, nothing. Placed my order on 5/23 and left it alone with no changes, have been patiently waiting since

 

[jsnfox]

My pickup is scheduled in about 3 hours….the long wait is finally ending!
