Swapping Model 3P for X/S?

[mswlogo]

We have the 6 seat x and the far rear air conditioning works great, as I have sat in the far back seats many times. There are vents on both sides

Yes, my loaner had 7 seats and had that. But I'm concerned how the 5 Seat will be with the Dogs in the "Virtual 3Rd Row".

All I can tell you is if the rear air is off, and I’m riding in far back, it gets warm. One reason we bought 6 seats was with rear seats flat, lots of air flow between center seats for our labs, and also can turn on rear air too. We rarely need more than 4 seats.

That's good to know. Thx.

How does Dog mode work with the two sets of Controls?

Honestly, we never leave our dogs in the car
unattended. I know dog mode would be fine.
If no one chimes in, I will go out to x and put in dog mode, see if far rear vents are active.

I would guess it goes to "full auto" and runs both or runs both if both were on.

Thanks !!!

Ok , I tried.
If I set far rear vents on, as soon as put in dog mode , seem to shut off. However, another option is keep climate on. If I turn on rear vents and select that option, the rear vents stay on. You just don’t get that nice message on the screen.

Thanks for checking and that's really good to know.

After reading this thread I changed my order from a 5 Seater to a 7 Seater.

6/7 Seater has a larger A/C compressor and separate condenser for the rear vents.
6/7 Seater is basically a mini split with 3 zones instead of 2 zone on the 5 Seater.

A/C Effectiveness in 5-seat configuration - Predictions?

It won't be a Performance, I only got Performance on the 3 because of Free Super Charging and Faster Delivery. No regrets, but I don't need that crazy performance.

Order says 3 weeks, but orders have been running behind that. If I get it by Sept 30 I think I'll get almost $3500 tax credit between Fed and MA. Only option I'm getting is Color. But X's are all now completely loaded with everything.

Loaner was a Performance. Never even put it in Performance mode.

Congrats! You're going to love it.

Good choice

Got a VIN and a delivery date.

just shy of 3 weeks. And I changed it to 7 seats just a week ago. I was considering cream, but I guess this helps me not flip flop so much. It was black when it locked in.

I love the Model 3, its just a blast to drive and I prefer the AC vents and UI and landscape screen. The X is bigger and has the space if you need, it is also easier to get into. If you don't need the space I'm not sure I would upgrade. The handling on the 3 just can't be beat and I own a P100D X.

I have the black leather and after 2 1/2 years
Still looks new. You will love the x as a family car.

Here is my personal Pro vs Cons

Pros X over 3:
Physical Wiper Control
Two Sensitivity Levels Auto Wiper
Towing
Free SuperCharging
Safer due to Weight
Nicer Next button on Wheel
Heated Wheel
True Key Fob
No ripping liner under car
No bumper ripping off
No roof glass cracking
Two screens
Slightly better EPA range
Powered lift gate
Cornering lights?
More sensors?
Smoother Ride
Quieter Ride
Bolstered Seats
Front Windshield unreal

Cons X
Longer Reach to screen (but less need to)
Limited tire selection (staggered)
Not as nice OEM Wheels
Not as efficient
Better emergency Handling
Portrait Screen for Netflix

I think for the use of the vehicle in your situation, the x makes much more sense.

 

[jsshapiro]

We have a Model 3, a 5 seat X, and a six seat X. Six seat better for passengers, five for cargo. No surprise there. No rear a/c in the five seat, but never had a problem with dog mode a/c in either vehicle.

Nice! Looking forward to your report after delivery and after several months of ownership! Congrats again!

I’m a nervous wreck spending this much on cars.

Swapping perfectly good Jeep Summit (loaded and quiet) and a perfectly good Model 3 Performance (Stealth). For a Model X LR Raven and a Volt Premier with ACC (not easy to find with ACC). Both at the same time. It’s been little hectic. Having the Volt shipped !!!
