Hi guys! I’m a little tense right now because I put down on a model 3 long range. It’s a 2018 dealer car with 120 miles, midnight sliver paint and 19in sport wheels upgrades. I jumped on the deal because I got $4k off. Before destination the price is $47.9k which I think is a great deal? Naturally I don’t have a lot figured out yet and have one week before the car arrives. Hoping to get some questions answered!
1. I live in a condo unit with my own garage but don’t have a lot of charging flexibility. The consensus is that I can use an existing wire from my heater to get 20a at 240v. Based on Tesla’s chart, that should get me 15 mi/hr, which would be plenty for an overnight charge. But is that what I would really get? What can I expect in real life out of 20a at 240v?
2. My garage gets cold during winter but doest drop below 30. Does the car have charging issues or charge slower in the cold? Should I be concerned?
3. Am I missing on anything by getting the 2018? I confirmed that this car would have the upgraded seats which is what I care about most. It’s also still considered new so I would be eligible for the $3,750. Anything else to be concerned about with going for a 2018?
3. Do you recommend doing the trade in with Tesla or somewhere else? I have a 2008 Acura TL with 150k miles and ripped seats but would still like to get as much out of it as possible.
My #1 concern is the charging piece but any advice in general to get ready would he really helpful!
