According to my DA, my car is finally in transit to the Burbank DC!

I can find the "Contact Us" option. I tried submitting a request on that yesterday, but haven't gotten a response. I'm not seeing a live chat.With the chat (accessed through new inventory page when bubble pops up in the corner) you weren’t able to reach anyone? Usually they say someone will reach out and they haven’t failed me yet.
On the plus side, "Say 'hello' to my little friend!" There may be a few frustrations, but I love the car.
BTW, be really careful about quickly lifting your foot off the accelerator while cornering on ice / snow. Otherwise. you may experience a brief increase in your heart rate and adrenaline levels.

Did you consider getting a winter set of tires? Seeing those 20's on ice makes me feel uncomfortable!On the plus side, "Say 'hello' to my little friend!" There may be a few frustrations, but I love the car.

I mean, if this isn't the forum/thread to have a discussion about these issues, then what is? I'd think that "as a community" we'd want to see improvements on quality - even if it's cosmetic. You're not going to get those improvements if your immediate reaction to a complaint is to tell people to suck it up.You call it trolling, I call it a reality check.
Entitlement is expecting to get a mass produced car with no flaws and a perfect delivery experience because you paid $40-70k, lol. That is the ENTRY level luxury price range, where privileges are set at “basic”. There are a lot of overinflated egos in here with demands that far exceed the checks they're writing.
Idk who set that expectation in here, but it’s comical to watch people constantly complain about paint drips, slight offsets, cosmetic alignments, light scratches, etc.
Newsflash: People who pay 2/3/5x what we paid DO NOT receive perfect cars. There are always issues, especially with paint. Maximum value will NEVER equate to 100% perfect car. Sorry to burst your bubble. There will be flaws.
Pro-tip: Those of us who have higher paint standards know that paint correction is ALWAYS required for cars immediately after delivery. This should be included in the cost of purchase and part of your buying process. All factory paint jobs are satisfactory, at best.
So instead of us as a community whining and allowing others to cry about every little thing, we should collectively set the expectation upfront that there may be some flaws. Minor issues can be corrected (98% of the post in here). Major issues (mechanical or safety) are genuine concerns that Tesla should address immediately, or rejection of delivery is warranted.
People here are acting like they’re buying handcrafted chariots from Jesus. It’s a daily driver people. The paint will be damaged 30 seconds after leaving the lot. Stop stressing yourselves over every imperfection, back the magnifying glass off of the small chip in the wheel well, and view the vehicle as a whole.
You’ll be able to enjoy the car (and probably life) a lot more.
Congrats!
I’m pretty sure it’s recommended to set regen to chill in low grip driving environments.

FTR, I took delivery of my car with flaws and couldn’t be happier.
That was my whole point. Enjoy the car.
Did anyone get any sort of receipt or paperwork from Tesla when they picked up their car? Just wondering if I need some kind of evidence that I got the car before the end of the year to be able to claim the state and federal tax credits..
Hi Y'all. Well, I'm almost 60 years old and I'm about to buy my FIRST CAR. Can you beleive it? Of course I drive my wife's car now and then and on my work days I drive.... a fire engine. Go figure. I live close enough and have been enough of a bike geek ( as in bicycle, not motorcycle) to bike to work. I'm about to plonk down my little private stash I have built up over 28 years of working and buy a Model 3 Performance. (No honey, it's not your money and I can buy whatever I want). I just loved the damned thing on my one and only test drive. After watching 50 hours of youTube videos and reading countless comments/arguments/debates online I have decided to take the plunge. There's plenty of what-to-do-before-you-get-your-Model 3 advice but feel free to jump on my *sugar* and tell me baby! I can't wait! Cheers, Bill in San Francisco.
I didn’t test drive a Model 3 either before buying. Yes, it’s worth it.Dec 21: Ordered a P3D+ at 11:08 AM.
Dec 24: Received a text with a tentative schedule delivery appt on Dec 30 4:00 PM.
Dec 25: VIN assigned.
Dec 25: Tesla insurance quoted me at $90.63 per month. I'll take that.
Dec 30: Tomorrow, I will be picking up the car in Carlsbad, California.
Hope everything will be smooth tomorrow. My very first EV/Tesla. Trading in my BMW M2 for this. Never even test drive a Model 3 before. Hope it's worth it.
