    Car Cover for Model 3?

    I’ve been using the Tesla made model 3 cover for the past few years and am very happy with it. Perfect fit, vented, great materials and good light tan color for summer. The storage bag is small so it acts like a compression bag which is annoying for temporary home stowage, otherwise it’s a...

    Model 3 rear handles overly recessed?

    sounds like you washed out a rubber bumper stop. This problem is different, the stops are present. Seems like hnadle install is missing « spacers »

    Model 3 rear handles overly recessed?

    Thanks for this info! I had a first mobile visit, he took the panel off and adjusted the angle so it is less noticeable towards the large side but it’s still recessed. Said the spec was up to 4 mm (5/32) from flush and that a new door handle would change nothing. Will follow-up. If anyone has...

    Any other CDN SR+ purchasers post-budget and pre-surprise $5K rebate? (March 19 - April 30)

    Anyone negotiate a pre $5K rebate discount or upgrade from Tesla to not delay purchase, or a post sales compensation of some kind? Seems latter is very rare. I didn't see the May 1st rebate coming and guess I should have. My story is that on March 23rd a Tesla sales staff member told me...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    The new May 1st $5K eligibility for Canadian SR+ purchasers is great news. Early reservation holders like me are out of luck though. I would have deferred my late March purchase had I known the budget announcement applied to my car. Hoping for some free upgrade love to make up the loss...

    Garage door opener alternatives

    Great new option but agree it is pricy - triple the cost of the gotailwind.com solution! I really like that it would be integrated into Tesla user interface though (part of the magic) and that when I move the capability is retained without having to remove any hardware from the garage door...

    Model 3 rear handles overly recessed?

    I’ve had my dream car for a week now (SR+) and I noticed on the first day that the rear handles were quite a bit more recessed than the front. Notified my delivery specialist but no word back yet. Is this ajustable/fixable? Thanks

    Leave Sentry Mode on while car is the shop getting ppf ?

    You'll probably have to leave the car unlocked with open doors, frunk and trunk so Sentry mode not an option. I recommend you take a good video of your car in the shop when you drop it off and do a walk-about with a technician to show them car is pristine before you leave. That way you won't...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Some advice for those of you getting your car wrapped, take a close video or pictures of those parts of your car getting wrapped before the treatment, and do a walkabout or inspection with the technician first. I had no proof the small dent over the passenger wheel well was not there before and...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    3/02 order SR+ black / black / aero / no autopilot 3/23 delivery as promised! An unbelievable drive home. I’m trying to resist more driving on our dirty roads until the front is wrapped in a few days. Checklist ok except for: Fog light control is present but the lights don’t come on, a...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Just checked for British Columbia, they went with an April 1st start date with their March 2015 budget... Happy that my late March delivery gives some leeway to optimize - as long as Tesla accepts to delay delivery by 9 days.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Fantastic! I will be watching also. We may not need to delay. When Quebec first announced their rebate in their 2012 March budget it was retroactive to Jan. 1st. 2012 :-)

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    That's odd, I ordered the SR+ the day after you and I have a Montreal delivery date of March23rd. I wonder if it's because of your white interior (mine's black) or if they're waiting for a certain critical mass of cars to transport to the Vancouver area. Note that the delivery date just...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room
