SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

[thebestiam1]

she ordered it the day that the LFPs hit inventory. took delivery on the car yesterday, but it might've been a bay area pickup.

really? I heard that the LFP were put on hold due to some issue with the window sticker or firmware update that was needed?

If anyone is picking up today ask if they have any info on when the heated steering wheel will be available for purchase. If nobody has pickups, I'll ask on Sunday.

Just got our trade in value and it's a better deal than selling to Carmax due to sales tax savings. Now the amount due is showing negative (they'll owe us money), due to the equity in the car. My question is do they cut us a check or do we have to put it towards the car?

Also how/when do they put the original order fee from the non-lfp towards the new order.

FYI: Our EDD is Sept 3-13, located in Phoenix, order placed 8/27. Got a VIN and all our pre-work is complete.

Interesting, carmax is offering 4k more for my Kia than tesla. Though, I'm in NJ so we have no sales tax on ev

Well, as of tonight I got a VIN on my original 5/25 order. EDD is now September 10 - September 16. My date sat at October 14 - November 03 for the last two weeks or so. I am taking delivery of existing inventory on Wednesday so I’m going to stick to that. Hopefully I’ll be posting pictures then!!!

Any luck getting Tesla to honor your original price?

It says it in the note that Tesla sent out that they are introducing “a new battery pack“ not an entirely new imported vehicle. Additionally, if there were a bunch of Teslas being imported into America there would be countless threads, articles, and tweets about it. They recently shipped a bunch to Europe and it was noted everywhere. Tesla didn’t secretly import thousands of cars to America and nobody knows about it lol. Plus there’s a big tax on imported vehicles so they wouldn’t be able to sell them at the same price. The VIN number also tells you wher

This video suggests a DOD of 80% (so don’t go below 20%) and charging to 100% once a week. Rest of the times charge to less than 100%. I thought Tesla/Elon basically said 100% daily is perfectly fine? Anyone?

I wish Tesla has a best practice technical write up on comparing battery type vs charging.

uh DYING to know the answer on this one as well; the internet has been exceptionally squirrelly about it + i want to do the upgrade

Hi guys. I placed an order last night, my EDD August 29 - September 1. I received my VIN as soon as I had placed my order.

Now the only issue is - I was already approved by Tesla financing. My SA said to apply for financing again. They wouldn't be able to transfer my application to this car. I typically want to avoid applying again and do a credit run. Any thoughts or suggestions on what I can do?

One thing you (and anyone who is impacted by this) should try is a stern call and email to Tesla finance and Wells Fargo asking them to remove the old inquiry from your credit report. Banks can and will do this for legit reasons and you should try your best to do this, especially if you plan to apply for serious credit (house/car, etc) in the near future..

I honestly don't think Tesla gives a damn about non-Tesla trade-ins. My Tesla trade in offer for a 2018 Volvo XC60 was $23K. I sold it back to my Volvo dealership for $37K in less than an hour.

Was it a lease or did you own the car outright?

did you lease or buy your car?

i only ask because i’m in the midst of trying to sell off my lease and curious to see how others have found this process. my car is a 2018 as well.

Interesting, I am trading in my 2014 XC60. Tesla offered me $9200 while CarMax offered me $9800. Vroom on the other hand gave me a $3200 offer lol.

EDD went from late Aug-Early Sep to January. May-22 order... Anyone else having this much fun...?

Wow! That’s insane. We have the same order date, but my EDD holding steady at 09/09 ~ 09/29 for more than a week now.

That's what I fear will ultimately happen to my original order. So I jumped on LFP and placed new order.

 

[RogerMc]

Any chance you could ask her for a photo of the door stickers? Would like to compare the GVWR.

Does anyone know if this firmware delay is accurate? I’m scheduled to take delivery of a LFP tomorrow.

We know there is a firmware update delay. There is no timeline at this point though. It appears that some people have taken delivery of LFP already.
Good luck!

I had bought/financed. The really good part was that I bought for 39K and sold it for 37K after a year and 10K miles, so I was happy with the deal.
