    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    It would be nice if Tesla offered a free upgrade to anyone who purchased a new car last year (EAP/FSD, Lifetime Premium Connectivity...) to offset the instant depreciation. Not going to happen but would help the sting a little.

    Passing Lane Mirror Signal

    I wish they would add a flashing red bar at the top of the screen similar to the blue autopilot nag when someone is in the blind spot and the signal light is on.

    Vehicle Range

    Yep. Mine is 3 months old, was 315 miles on a full charge and now ~290. As others have said, switch to percentage and you'll enjoy the car much more.

    Paint chips on hood after 2,000 miles?

    Yeah, I brought it back to the detailer who installed the ppf and he said they were some pretty good size rocks that hit it. He said he couldn't tell if there was any damage to the car until those pieces were removed.

    Paint chips on hood after 2,000 miles?

    I have had my car exactly one month and had Stek PPF installed on the front clip right after I took delivery. 1,200 miles later I have two rock chips on the right fender and a pretty good size one on the hood that damaged the ppf (not sure if the paint was damaged). I'd probably still get ppf...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I picked my M3P up a month ago and noticed that the trim above the rear windows were slightly lowered than the rest of the trim. I immediately put in a service ticket. Today was the day for my appointment and the service technician said that is now normal on all new model 3 and Y's so nothing...

    For those of you that have recently taken delivery, are you getting the free slacker/streaming radio? I thought it was free with premium connectivity but it keeps wanting me to log in.

    Mine is on 2022.16.3 but I'm not sure if that's just a factory version. Haven't had an update yet.

    Yes, all 4 tires and good at any Discount Tire and Tire Rack. I think it's for 3 years or until the tread is below minimal.

    Does your mirrors auto unfold when the phone connects? Mine will fold when the car locks but stays folded until I open the door. I thought they would unfold once it connected to the phone

    Thank you! Yes I did. I have an appointment on Monday to get ppf and all the windows tinted. The desert isn't kind to black cars but surprisingly the glass roof wasn't as hot as I was expecting. I also stopped by Discount Tire and bought the certificates for the tires which was only $300.

    I took delivery earlier today. Everything was flawless including the car. The build quality has gotten much better since my 2015 Model S. No panel gaps and no paint issues. The car is amazing.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    I'm curious about that too. I've been thinking about the 245 but would prefer a 255 if it fits with no issues.
  15. shodnett

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    I've been thinking about doing the same.

    The lesson is, expect delays even after your vehicle has been built.

    Things are definitely moving quickly. I got a text this morning to schedule pickup which I'm going to do Thursday morning and then got an email that my car was in transit to the service center. It was just built last night.

    First order for the Long Range was 4/11, changed the order to Performance on 6/24.

    I originally ordered a LR on 4/11 but switched to the P on 6/24.

    Thanks! I'll post delivery pics/issues when that day comes. Right now I'm scheduled to take delivery within the week.

    Thanks! Here's hoping that you get yours this week too.

    It's probably because of jerks like me that ordered a base or long-range model earlier that then decided to upgrade that's pushing everyone else back.

    I mean, at this point what has he got to lose? I really think he was suppose to get his car back in May and now there's a glitch that keeps pushing his delivery back.

    Have you reached out to your SA to make sure there is nothing wrong with your order?

    Mine did the same. My two week window was supposed to start today but adjusted to a 12 day window starting Monday.
  26. shodnett

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    I've been tempted to do the same. I enter my 2 week window tomorrow and have had some ridiculous offers on my 2015 MS. If I thought this 2 week window would stand I'd sell it today.

    If it's any consolation I have an original order date of April 11th and I'm still waiting on a VIN also. Have faith, my friend.

    Any chance that this factory maintenance might mean improvements/upgrades in the models?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    I'm hoping I can squeeze at least a year out of the stock tires and then upgrade to maybe a Michelin 245. Something with a little more sidewall support.

    I had a mobile rim repair guy come to my house a few years ago to repair some curb rash and it was $75 a rim. I thought that was very reasonable

    I think I might just replace the entire keyboard after my delivery.

    The new EDD is 7/16 - 7/30.
  33. shodnett

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    Got a nice change in my EDD this morning and now in a two week window. Hopefully no more push backs. 🤞
  34. shodnett

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    Definitely. Going a month and a half with no updates for a P sounds like something fell through the cracks.
  35. shodnett

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    I made the switch last Friday. So far no change in my EDD.
  36. shodnett

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    That was my other reason too. I'm trading in my 2015 S and since the warranty expires next April I'm sure it's going to start depreciating quickly. Might as well strike while it's hot.

    I think once we figured out we didn't make the end of the quarter delivery rush we decided it was time for the upgrade.

    Decided to make an adjustment to my account and check out of the LR crowd and join this waiting group instead.

    Dammit. I drank too much last night and woke up to see this on my account instead of my red LR. Most expensive drunk purchase I've made.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I hear ya. I was close to crossing into my EDD range but woke up to see it pushed back a month. Tesla can be so cruel at times.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Beautiful! Giving me hope to hear others in Vegas are getting their VINs now. Especially since my EDD took a nasty hit this morning.

    Really? I thought standard AP was disengaged when the turn signal was pressed.

    Ugh, been there with a BMW Z3. It's last few months on this earth were hell for it and my wallet.
