    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I was thinking about that very issue...I surmised if the Model S was having issues we would be aware of it?? I've had NOTHING but black until my M3P, I'm good for another round of white but I agree black is very attractive too.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I like them both. Currently have white in my 2021 M3P and feel validated when I see the white and I'm glad I ordered that color. If white was an upgrade and kicked me out of the $7,500 I would have been almost as happy with black too.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I don't mind the waiting part of this but Tesla's bs way of handling a trade in sucks. Give your customer a commitment and a mileage limit thereafter but honor what say.

    Alloy scuff repair Lincoln

    Google is your friend. I have a place near me that comes to my location and fixes onsite.

    Should I pull the trigger?

    I know I know...I don't like losing money I just kept hearing you only get one bite of the apple.

    I live about 3 minutes away from DelVal!

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Quick update...The Sirens song was too much for me. I pulled the trigger on Friday. I went with the Stealth Grey and White interior. Between the tax incentive, A/C seats and new front end I thought WTH! My only regret is trading in to tesla my current M3P. That car was TAKEN CARE of. That...

    Installer recommends an electric garage heater. Is it necessary? I’m in the Chicago land area

    Absolute waste of money unless your garage is fitted out with water and a drain. If you plan on washing your car in your garage in the winter then yes, get it. Short of that, set your car to precondition on the app, that's what it's there for. Your car will be toasty warm even on the coldest day.

    Long time lurker, 1st Accident

    The company that owns the car will want it fixed why wouldn't they? I would guess the driver has already reported it. You will need to report this to your insurance company unless you have fairly deep pockets and wish to pay for theirs and yours out of pocket. Once you report the incident to...

    Help me decide Model 3P or Model YP

    I don't know enough about that to comment, I trust your judgment. I have heard the M3P has made suspension improvements, don't know to what extent this improves the handling? I'm not really looking at handling so much as linear speed vs more cargo room.

    Help me decide Model 3P or Model YP

    The OP is considering a 2024 current Y vs a 2024 new style M3P. the photo and dimensions are flawed.

    Help me decide Model 3P or Model YP

    To me, there are two separate and distinct animals. If you need the extra room get a Y, if you want to drive a bullet get the M3P. Kinda black and white imho...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    The ventilated seats are a definite plus. Even with white I still find the seats a little sweaty in the summer. It's the sum of a lot of little things that I'm finding is a draw. For me, the biggest plus is the new front end. I love the look of my car from the side and rear but I'm only...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Thank you all for your feedback. I think the right move for now is to hold off. I'm not thrilled with the number Tesla is offering, my car has received as much pampering as possible. I know in a trade-in this is somewhat irrelevant. As mentioned above, perhaps when they are in a "push" to...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Lots of good feedback both pro and con. The $7500 tax credit is quite tempting but perhaps a slow burn is what I should be doing. I had a nice email exchange with Matt at Tech Forum (YouTube) and he is the similar situation I am. I installed his Atlas screen mount a few years ago and was...
