New member from MA Merrimack Valley. Model 3 LR AWD Blue.

Love the car. Delivery service in Dedham was very good. Mobile service for one minor quality issue was excellent.

Waiting to hear from body shop about a minor body ding that will need attention. Likely caused by truck or rail carrier coming from Fremont.

Learning about the car every day.

New member here! I just put down the deposit today for the M3 mid range in blue. Based in the Metrowest MA area but I work up in Andover, MA. The Natick store does overnight evaluations which really helped seal the deal for me.

Looking forward to getting delivery in a few weeks!

Congrats! I hope you really enjoy the car.

Boston-area owner, here, who moved to Maryland / DC 2.5 years ago and is checking-in again because he misses his New England friends. :)

Hey Alan, it's been a few weeks... parents enjoying their 3? Are you driving one now? Did you see Jim traded his S85 for a 3?

Hey, everyone. I live in the New Bedford area -- not a lot of Teslas down here. (Lots of pickups.) I bought my 2013 green Model S P85 in late 2017 as a CPO. The car pleases every time I sit in it. I sold my motorcycle, as this gives a somewhat similar experience, with sudden acceleration and a huge sunroof for good weather.

Welcome to the group! I can't bring myself to sell my motorcycle, but I'm very close to selling my weekender ICE car.

Tesla Model 3 owner from Connecticut, aka, Southern New England, glad to be here! I drive to Boston (2 hrs) and New York City (2 hrs) a lot for my day job: very pleased with the ownership experience so far, even happier about the low operating expenses! So much fun to give family and friends test drives...

Welcome to the group! I've found the supercharger at the mall in Milford is super fast every time I've used it.

Three years into Tesla ownership and I still feel like mine are the only cars for 200 miles given the rarity of road sightings (there actually are a few others) but a coworker in Bangor just got a Model 3!!! So happy for them.

Here's one of my pics of my journey from CT into NYC during a bit of sloppy weather last week, Feb 20 2019. I'm certainly appreciating the 4 wheel drive, and the window defroster! I stopped at this Westchester rest stop to clear the headlights.

Thank you! I used that stop when driving from Times Square NYC to Downtown Crossing Boston recently, and I can say that you were right! More details in my recent article updates.

Were you at the supercharger here 1201 Boston Post Rd, Milford, CT 06460 or the one here 7 Backus Ave, Danbury, CT 06810? It looked like Danbury, but you said you had to walk to Dunkins and that sounds like Milford.

The one in Danbury, especially when the mall is crowded, is probably not worth stopping at. The people in the parking lot are fairly hostile, ICE'ing is common, and unless you want mall food, the Whole Foods is a bit of a walk across busy streets with no crosswalks.

I have found the one at 1470 Pleasant Valley Rd, Manchester, CT 06042 to be nice and fast, in case you end up in that neck of the woods.
