Is it possible to place a separate order for the LR while waiting for the M3P VIN? Whichever gets a VIN first wins. Some might say it's a VIN VIN situation .

If you dont mind losing $250 on the order for the one you dont take.

Are you guys really sure the reason for the tax credit change on the LR is because of a battery source change and not because of the requirements being loosened on certain materials used for the pack by the IRS?
All the inventory near me shows available for the tax credit. There is no date restriction on the fuel economy.gov site saying it has to have a certain battery.
All the news sources say it is because of the regulations changing. No mention of a different pack being used.

Where do you see inventory near you? I'm not seeing that option in the App

The day has finally come. See you tomorrow

Concerns here are true. Plaid agreement states it will retain access to your account. Participating banks have no way to stop it either because Plaid has them install a proprietary API for their use. When you "link" Plaid, you are issuing them a login token based on your current password and PIN to your account. The only way to break Plaid from continuing to see all your activity is to submit a ticket to them to purge all their records of your account and to change your password and online PIN .

You should be aware, you aren't granting permission for them to just submit an ACH request on your behalf, you are granting them permission to all your available past and future transaction history as well.

Bring a cashier's check.

Never trust FinTech startups.

Only on the account number it’s granted through…I use an account that only sees money that Plaid then transfers from and no other transactions are done through this account. I got tangled up in a franchise nightmare and learned from that mistake how to protect my accounts from the likes of these contractual granted access to accounts. Plaid is handy but I would never give them full access to and account with more than the minimum deposit which is $10 in my case.

But those front seats though....

Guys don't want heated seats, they want cooled seats. Especially insanely comfy bolsters with tons of huggable give in them.

All M3 trims have cooled seats

Oof to the people changing to LR. you were probably within a week or two of getting a vin if you ordered in April

I haven't switched yet but I think I am...and it isn't about delay at this point. Just objectively looking at cost. $7500 cheaper plus 12.5% more range plus the cost savings on tires which is another ~$1,000 savings every 2 years. I don't use the track and the speed would be fun but I'm a dad of 2 little kids so I doubt I'd use it THAT much. I'm not an overly aggressive driver, 4.2 0-60 is plenty for me. I miss out on the nicer seats, carbon trim, and much better looking wheels. However those things aren't worth the $10k+ cost difference over the course of ownership.

You should switch. I'm glad to see that the regular dual motor is now tax credit eligible because I think theres alot of people that were ordering the performance, that really don't need it, nor do they have experience in a performance car with low profile summer tires, etc. I"m not saying that to sound like a snob, its just totally unnecessary for ALOT of people.

Yea I’m going Thursday flying to Baltimore from nc then just driving back .

Damn! You don’t mess around. I am taking delivery Wed and the other member I helped is taking delivery the same day. You should have scheduled Wed and all 3 strangers would have met for one common goal.

 

[Raptor911]

Got my vin today thanks to raptor911 . Have to make a 5 hour trip but better than waiting until aug or sept . If your looking for a black and white they have one in Maryland for people on east coast .

I hooked up a local customer to the white so only the black is left

The LR doesn't have cooled seats?

 

[Raptor911]

I’m in the DMV area, can you (or raptor911) provide additional info to get in touch with the SA for this?

What did you order? My SA is awesome. They can see inventory that is not available to the public.

Im pretty sure it does (I hate cooled seats though so havent looked into that). Its a 2 part quote from @JaxChris though, and both people who responded to them only focused on the first part.

the second part of the quote is:

Guys don't want heated seats, they want cooled seats. Especially (with) insanely comfy bolsters with tons of huggable give in them.

I added the word "with" in the quote with quotations, because thats how I read it and how it looks like it was intended to read, to me. So, @JaxChris is basically putting forth the opinion that the cooled seats in the model 3 performance have comfortable bolsters, with huggable give, and feel different than the non performance trim seats.

I havent sat in any highland model 3 , neither a performance or non performance trim, but reports here seem to be people really loving the performance seats. Even if I end up with a highland performance trim model 3, cooled seats is not something I like. I have had them before, and all they did was make me feel .. uncomfortable from the sensation.

I also dont like air conditioning blowing directly on me, either so there is that.

I know if I tell my wife I can get the LR for almost $40K now with the tax credit, she is going to hassle me nonstop to switch.

My M3P vin better come through soon!

Here’s a pic of how gorgeous the UR is

 

[ScrappyCoco]

Those that recently tinted their cars did you debate Kavaca ultimate IR vs Xpel XR plus. Besides cost etc what was the reason why you picked one vs the other

 

[Jeffgtx]

Where do you see inventory near you? I'm not seeing that option in the App

If you have an order placed, then if there are cars or a car near you that are available sooner, it will show you the details of those and give you an option to change to that car.

Lots of Portland-area VINs today! Sweet!

If there are any other Blue/Blk orders waiting for VINs in the area who are thinking about changing to the LR - please do go ahead! <3
