    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Oh, one more thing. Look up your electricity rate if you'll be charging at home & plug it into the app when you get your car. I've spent about $0.04/mile on electricity. Compared to my 17mpg truck and $5.xx gas I've saved over $800 the first month of ownership. That'll decrease dramatically when...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Figured I'd pop back in here. I ordered my car March 15 and was lucky to get one that someone canceled while it was enroute to Indianapolis. Unfortunately I have made every excuse to leave home and go for random drives, and the result is 2940mi in 30 days of ownership. No complaints about the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Car feels complete now... windows tinted 5% with xpel/prime ceramic. 35% front windshield. Also installed some Puddle lights that project the Tesla logo and "Tesla" under all 4 doors when they're opened. Those boogers are a PITA to get out of the door! Before and after tint

    I can't bring myself to paying for hubcaps. If I spend $ in that department, it would be on some actual wheels. I do agree with you though- they definitely look better than the aeros though.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm only sticking around to see if TJ ever gets a car. No seriously - if you guys were hesitant about the 18" aero's.... I was pleasantly surprised. I bought the center cap things that are 1-piece and cover up the lugnuts and center cap. They're kind of Star-shaped if you catch my drift...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You guys shouldn't worry too much about volume. If it's anything like Indianapolis, they can crank them puppies OUT! I showed up 5 minutes early for my appointment, and the Tesla rep came and got me at exactly 12:30. He put my temp tag on while I transferred some accessories from my wifes car...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The car "doesn't know it's there" so no risk of impacting the warranty. And it's legit just clips onto the wheel with the built in magnets so it would take all of 3 seconds to remove for a service appointment. I took it off to see the difference between driving with/ without it... completely...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, I finally graduated. This will likely be my last post here. Thanks for all the info and company while waiting. I picked up my car today from Indianapolis. Build date 4/23 with the older style headlights. The car is otherwise AMAZING & WORTH THE WAIT!! I did have to schedule a mobile...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    For those of you waiting on the chargeport, you could be in worse shape. This is a picture from the roof at my work. Ford leases 15 or so acres from us to park fully built trucks that are waiting on chips before they can be delivered. They're at capacity and these have been on the lot at our old...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I knew I was special! 4/23 build with both - no chargeport & the old school lights!

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    It sucks man, I'm right there with you. Mine was built 4/23 and doesn't have the matrix lights. Hate to give you the answer you don't want but yes... mine was also shipped without the chargeport. Thankfully it was only a couple of days for them to install it. Arrived thursday/Friday & installed...

    2022 Model 3 Adaptive Headlights?

    Fyi- not to kill anyone's dreams here, but not all Model 3s are coming with the matrix lights. There's another thread related to this but I'm not sure how to link it. Seems like there was a period starting on 4/23 and ending sometime on 4/25 where they switched back to the older style (still...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks, yeah I figured based on my EDD it was going to be a long wait. If it wasn't June (which was questionable) I figured it was going to be August. The 1st month of each quarter seems to be nearly no deliveries, so July didn't seem realistic. Just glad someone canceled their order to allow me...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    We wonder why these SAs are hesitant to share anything? The number of posts I've seen here that would piss me off as a Tesla employee is almost comical. Hey I don't have a VIN yet but I want to know right now if I'll get the matrix lights. Or the guys calling multiple agents or over and over...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    Hey let us know how it impacts your EDD. I have pickup scheduled for Monday. I know my car doesn't have them. So long as there's nothing else obviously wrong with the car, I plan on accepting as the headlights aren't my biggest concern... even though I AM disappointed for the downgrade. BUT if...
