    Alternative to renting Tesla 3 on Turo?

    Hertz used to rent out them but stopped doing this presumably along with Avis, Enterprise, Sixt. At least this has been my experience in SFO where they have stopped renting out any EVs. There is website teslarents.com but it only rents out Model Y.

    Discussion : All discussion regarding Model 3 and Tax credit in model 3 subforum

    I am in similar situation with base 2023 RWD. I just got today VIN but no confirmation of delivery date yet with est 11/13-11/22. A decent amount of lost gain from my Amazon RSU shares I held on in the past in few weeks that I didn't sell when they traded higher discourage me from withdrawing...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I have scheduled delivery November 16-24. At the same time I am moving to another town on Nov 25. Not sure if it wouldn't be better for me to just cancel the order loosing $250 deposit and place again next year when timing for me to take delivery is better and get that EV tax credit and stock...

    Congrats! Did you do checklist? How did it go? I am hoping mine doesn't have defects when I take delivery.

    Is delivery of new Tesla 3 2022 RWD at 46k in Nov-Dec worth it?

    I am thinking now if I should refuse, was budgeting with bigger downpayment at the time I placed order on July 30 by selling Amazon stock only for them to crash from average $130-140 to $90 per share (yeah I know should had sold some then). Thinking over now if I should continue to take delivery...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    getting not LR but SR+ but the posts like these makes me nervous. I may get checklist from GitHub read the list and follow it carefully as best as possible and may still miss a flaw, especially it comes to one’s not obvious visually right away before leaving parking lot, for example windshield...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Holy cow I just looked my Tesla app and it’s coming for EDF delivery nov10-24. On November 25 I am moving to new apartment and just finished apartment hunting. I just applied to be member of Towet FCU today, and plan to apply for loan with them. I feel a bit overwhelmed it’s coming so fast!

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I think it was because of what Advisor said. When I placed order for Tesla in July, the car was more affordable to me then than now with my stock portfolio and current market interest rates. It was more of impulse buy, learning the government approved EV tax credit for Tesla, but jumped too fast...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Did you have to take day off from work or were you able to schedule after hours? I would hope they are flexible to rescheduling to Friday or weekend. Did you make only minimum deposit 10%?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I have very good credit and my credit union FirstTechCU with which I had great decent rate to refinance and payoff my student loan offers rate as “low” as 5.8% after soft check of my credit which is worse what Tesla offers at 5%. I thought about Tower Credit Union and donated to their charity...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’m getting SR though, so it might qualify. Was going to cash some amazon stocks for downpayment only for them to drop heavily in the last 2 weeks. Hope they will delay delivery at least to December when shipping season picks up.

    Is delivery of new Tesla 3 2022 RWD at 46k in Nov-Dec worth it?

    Actually my workplace offers charging. Where I live gas price push above $6 per gallon. Currently I own 2013 Corolla that while is paid off for a while, it requires a lot of maintenance. Lately it needs suspension replacement because when it even hits a small pothole, it makes lot of noise and...
