    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Well I'm livid. Original DD after switching to black interior was Monday, 4/29. Due to some schedule issues on their end, they asked me to reschedule. There was an opening on the Saturday before then, 4/27, so I took it. Two ubers and a rental car later, 130 miles from home, I'm at the...

    Model 3 Refresh Airbag Weight Sensor issue

    I know, and I'm not kicking the dog over it or anything. I am kinda irritated this wasn't caught at the factory as part of a final systems test and inspection, though.

    Tesla Cybertruck Towing an All Electric RV (Pebble Flow Review and First Drive)

    I saw another earlier video about the Pebble Flow and I believe you can run a line to the towing vehicle to share the battery. Plus it has its own drive wheels. I'm sure there's a reduction in range compared to a vehicle not towing anything, but I don't think it's down to 100-150 miles.

    Model 3 Refresh Airbag Weight Sensor issue

    As I mentioned in one of the Model 3 Waiting Room threads, I was supposed to take delivery of a new Model 3 recently, but the car threw a fault on the driver's side airbag weight sensor as they were preparing it for delivery while I waited at the dealership. They determined that one of the...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Savannah, GA is my closest dealer location. If I went to Charlotte, it would have been twice the distance. Tesla can't do direct sales in South Carolina due to the strong car dealership lobby here. There are laws on the books prohibiting OEM sales. Good ol' boy network in play.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Welp.... original delivery date was Monday. They called me yesterday to let me know they can't deliver Monday for reasons I can't even remember right now, but they could pull it back to today if I wanted. I had to make some prior travel arrangements, but the idea of getting the car earlier made...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I made the switch last Friday, and I got the message today, so a week exactly.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I switched to black a week ago, immediately got a VIN, and delivery is set for the 29th. I'm happy to see the white interiors are coming out. I would have preferred that myself, but I'm not going to get too hung up on it. Still looking forward to my car and still plan on enjoying the hell out of it.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Your mileage may vary (no pun intended), but I got a VIN within 5 minutes of changing to black interior in the app.

    Factory OEM SiriusXM nearly working in Tesla 2022 Model 3

    I'm buying a Tesla M3 and I currently have Sirius in my other car, which I am keeping. Rather than set up a second car or do any of this extra hardware installation, my plan was to just stream Sirius to the car from my phone. Is there an advantage in sound quality to installing a receiver vs...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I switched from White interior to black. Originally, I was going with Stealth Grey, but figured if I was going spend the extra $1500 for the white interior anyway, I'd change the exterior color to black. My total sale price actually went down about $500.

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    So I'm a wimp. I just ordered 2 weeks ago and I can't stomach the idea of possibly going through summer without my car. I switched to black interior and immediately got a VIN. Insurance acquired, loan approved. Delivery 4/20 - 4/29.

    And so it begins. My first delay. I went from May - June to June -July.

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    Yeah, it does sound pretty boilerplate. I'll update if my EDD is pushed out. If it's not, then the only thing I can figure is either supply chain issues or batch production for white, and that they're currently loading up the black interior inventory so they can focus primarily on white when...
