Received Email to Configure - Missing Options??

[toxicpenguin]

Hi All : East Coast CT MX owner, just received my email to configure the Model 3 - This question is for those that have already ordered their car :

1. Is there ANY option for cold weather package??? I didn't see any. Or is is included in the Premium package?
2. Seats : Are these leather or the new Faux leather seats like in the newer Model S/X cars
3. Recommendations for 18 vs 19 wheels? ... I have a spare set of Model S 19's in my garage... will those fit on the Model 3

Thanks for your responses!!!! Excitedly waiting to place my order!!

Cheers

1. Premium package includes heated seats
2. Faux Leather
3. No they are a different bolt pattern from what I have read. What you choose is really a personal choice. If you value range the most, go with the Aero 18's. If you like the look of the 19s and are okay giving up a little range, go with that .

The email to configure the Model 3 I got today shows it's from "[email protected]" "via mktdns.com" in the "from: line". Having just got a very authentic looking fake Tesla spoof email, is yours from the same domain? When I log into my account directly I see I have the reservations with no link to configure within my account. Is this a spoof ? I am not clicking on the email until I get some sort of verification? Thanks for your input.

No cold weather package exists. Some cold weather features are in the Premium package, some just don't exist. It has heated side mirrors and heated seats, does not have heated steering wheel.

S Wheels won't fit Model 3. I'd suggest getting the 18" wheels. If you don't like the aero covers they pop off easily and if you keep them on you get a noticeable range increase. You also get a more efficient OEM tire on the 18". The 19" come with sport tires that won't last as long and will cost more to replace.

Air is not an option at this time.

If you click on "Manage" on the Model 3 in your Tesla.com account, you should see something like this:

If you don't see that, the email may be suspect.

As a general life rule.... I never click on links in an email... Tesla or not. I have seen too many spoof emails that I just always close the email and log in to the site directly. Mine was legit. My RN is changed to build your Tesla now.
However ... I did check the email : its also from [email protected], but directly logging in shows me the reservation is valid.

Mine showed the same email address and the raw message data contains the DNS name you reference. Not saying it's safe, but adding a data point for your consideration. Maybe check the originating IP as well? I agree with @deonb, you should just log in to your account and see an offer to configure.

The 19" come with sport tires that won't last as long and will cost more to replace.

The 19" tires (Continential ProContact RX) have a treadwear rating of 400, which is quite high. They are currently expensive, but I expect alternatives be available soon.

Damn.... just realized there isn't even an option to choose interior seat colors????????? So what... they are all black?

 

[Dogwhistle]

Yes, currently the only hardware options are:
1. Paint Color
2. Wheels

Other than that, all the cars rolling off the assembly line *right now* are identical.

The headliner is light gray.

mktdns.com is owned by Marketo, a marketing automation system. It integrates with Salesforce which is used by Tesla.

Yeah, and the seats are really a gray charcoal, not black.

 

[jelloslug]

Like the S and X

 

[CatB]

Any rumors on when white seats will be available?

 

[SMAlset]

FWIW, I had to run errands and drove by the Superchargers in Gilroy and spotted a white Model 3 who had just finished charging and was getting ready to exit onto the road. Pulled up next to him and asked him what color his interior was. He said black. I said black or would you say it's gray to which he replied "No, black." So not sure if it's how people see colors differently or the lighting on the material but when I saw Franz and Jon's cars in person I came away saying it was black, just like the MS P100D we drove over the summer which Telsa's Design Center calls Premium Black. Same material used.

Well, the S and X "black" is really really dark charcoal. If you put something that is actually black against it, you can see the difference.
