I overpaid for a tire rotation and alignment. So really should be much lower.Great to hear -- thanks for sharing!
Like at least one other, I am also curious how you spent your $200 on maintenance.
Thanks,

That's hot. Same color.
I'm glad you are still here to enjoy a future that you and your fellow vets have helped to bring to all of us! Thank you for your service, and all other vets and active duty military on this forum! While you make our past, present and future safe, Tesla helps the bring the future to the present for all to enjoy, so enjoy!Just lurched into my 94 year. WW2 and Korean War vet. 5 years active duty, USS Hornet. Bought a tesla 3 in 2019. Best car and decision I ever made. My wife says I'm 93......going on 23! She may be right, cause the model 3 and a martini every nite are two of my favorite things! Drive 90% of my time in automatic. To tell you the truth..........it drives better and safer than my manual driving! Hope I'm still around when we can go full self driving.

It was going to be about $40 for the tire rotation (I don't know what it would have been for the alignment). The problem I ran into is that our local Tesla service center made me schedule two weeks out and then wanted me to leave the car for 72 hours for what should have taken just a few hours. Be apart from (insert my secret name for my M3 here) for 72 hours with an Uber voucher as a replacement? Not so much.What do Tesla service centers charge for a tire rotation? And alignment? Are those two separate services?

It's been some time since I read a thread on TMC. However, I'm glad I stop in today. I enjoyed reading each of the stories of you veterans, especially the old timers! I would never have thought a near-centenarian would be driving a M3! I pray you keep on driving and enjoying life!Just lurched into my 94 year.

I wonder how many of us veterans are in some way pleased with Tesla's success because maybe, just maybe, some future veteran will not have to fight and die in some far off foreign land protecting oil?
Not common, but I have seen several, including one Costco on Oahu!Se
Severely off topic but why doesn’t Costco have EV chargers? Rhetorical question.
Nicely written Mosby and thank you for your service.
I just celebrated the second anniversary of my 40th birthday. I've owned my model 3 LR RWD for over two years. I did not get to serve in the military, instead, I was an engineer working on military projects. I look for reasons to drive; When I point out Tesla model 3's on the road, my wife seems uninterested. I think I need to trade her in for two 40 year old's.
I love this thread. I too remember 29 cent/gal gas in my new 1970 Pontiac Lemans. I've only owned 2 new cars until now. The M3 is my third-- and undoubtedly my last. My red beauty is arriving tomorrow (9/29) and I'm so excited! I have spent hours reading, watching videos, talking to 3 other Mainers whom I know who have Teslas. I went to Dedham MA to drive it for the first time and ordered it right then!
The delivery driver called tonight with ETA. I've already scheduled appointment for PPF and ceramic coating. When I see more than a few snowflakes I may leave it in the garage for a long while. This car has got me hooked and it's now even here yet!
