BC didn't have TM3 qualify for rebate until May 2019. They sold ~3000 cars a month for 4-5 months. That's ~15,000 TM3 that's that can be resell without rebate penalty from May 2020. 60% buyers are previously Accord, Civic, Camry owners whom keep their cars longer, so ~6000 potential TM3 will...

I think a new rim is just $200 (not sure if USD or CAD). To repair a rim is like $150 CAD.

Just saw the ad too. It's a good price for sure. I expect more TM3 going on the market after the one year rebate resell restriction expires. Btw, I was driving by Marine Drive lot where Tesla hold their inventories before delivery and there's significantly less cars. Did they have less...

What's this gotta do with a completely different market?

Second hand market is always a risk and it's a Malibu.

People just won't buy them. It's just simple supply and demand curve. Using your example of $30k, on a 3 year car ownership cycle, that's ~$800 a month. Consumer will think "Is $800 a month worth it for me?" or "Do I put $800 into mortgage or other entertainment?" The math might be off/wrong...

Seems like Elon's plan to cut cost to increase production of the M3 to raise stock price isn't work.

That's why Tesla should've reserved the rebate ahead of time instead of at delivery.

B.C. tops up electric vehicle rebate program MSRP threshold reduced to $55k, rebate reduced to $3K.

This HW3 on AutoPilot performs better than HW2.5

About 2 months left perhaps...I will order again on July 1st for white.

What's the depreciation value of scratches like that? $5000?

Maybe Musk knows they already made their 2nd quarter and decides to get those on the fence on buying a black Tesla to have a choice of white in 2 weeks. It both pushes a value added for the black M3 of $1000 and those who waited can choose white instead of black which is everywhere.

Yes! The Maxwell integration for next gen Tesla will make all existing Tesla old technology.

Plain white is good. There's too many black out there.

Buy ICBC then BCAA online to get extra coverage. Visit a BCAA store to adjust discounts and such the next day.

FYI

Taken one block south from Ontario St and SE Marine Dr. Cheap Model 3 doesn't have the same protection as with the Model X before delivery. They drive them off the lot one by one.

We had a $5000 rebate that started on May 1st, it's no surprise.

Same for me, I would be driving a Tesla right now if they just do the right thing.

It's the sensor, that part is fine.

You just need to hire a QC that put a check mark on everything and problem solved. That’s how factories work. $$$ The thing is some people have a lower standard and have no experience at the good life of luxury cars. The delivery guy just need to sweet talk them to accept the car and move on...

Add on Insurance company will look at the depreciation of existing damage to potential pay less even if you are not at fault. Even a 5-10% on a $10000 bumper repair will be $500-$1000. You can fight it of course.

No. If you accept pre-existing damage then insurance has the right to pay less for the same panel in a claim in which you are not at fault. It’s standard depreciation.

Buying a car feels like any other online shopping right? Just the amount is higher. "You don’t want to void your warranty, right?"...... really? I wonder how much more TSLA will drop if rejecting cars = voided warranty.

Does the following work? - Order 3-4 M3 - Arrival same day probably - Pick one out of the four that's in best condition - Reject delivery for the other 3

This happened to me yesterday at Tesla Vancouver. The attitude was "Take it or leave it, wait another 4 weeks and risk the EV rebate runs out" *with a smirk. They tried to buff it out unsuccessfully, the damage went through the paint into the bumper. Pics here Vancouver BC VIN .

One more thing, while I was waiting for the "reverse" process, Tesla offered the couple next to me the option to check the car under sun light. They will drive the car outside instead of the underground parking garage. If you didn't bring a flood light, definitely request that.

Yep I trust them when they told me “everything can be reversed”. It can, except whatever BCAA might charge to cancel insurance. Technically another lie. And because my brother referred me, we now have to argue to get 7500km SC bonus for both of us when the next M3 arrive. I am going to...

Yes, this is a lie. I rejected delivery because the paint chip on the rear bumper cannot be buffed out. It's damaged through the paint. Vancouver delivery centre told me to just take it and go home. While they try their fix, I checked the software and then confirmed with the manager and...

I actually don’t mind HW2.5 as I expect to get FSD when it’s actually released and proven. But the paint chip is too noticeable and they can’t buff it out. It’s deep and requires to be repainted.

I’ve decided not to take delivery. BCAA said existing damage will be my responsibility. If I am rear ended, they have the right to pay less due to existing damage depreciation.

May 2019. They are buffing it out but it’s clearly not a damage that’s buffable. “take it or leave it” and they won’t cover fees to put back my plates on my stored car. The term “reverse everything” is used very loosely.

Then Tesla should admit this is a lie and I will be satisfied. They are also saying paint chip is part of the new car. It’s normal and should be expected.

Mine comes with HW2.5 instead of HW3.0. The "manager" told me to take it or go home.

What’s the model?

Anyone at Tesla now?

What's good for Vancouver winters? Not much snow but under -5c raining weather. Would the Nokian not be a good choice since it performs more in snow condition?

Another winter tire thread.

Call Tesla

Does it reset back to original software or stay the same to whatever updated?

Please note a few key items: - Insurance is handled at delivery, so please skip that section - Delivery will take place at our Tesla location - 1636 West 4th Avenue, Vancouver BC V6J 1L9 - The delivery process takes around 2-3 hour (including paperwork signing, vehicle...

yes, and lots of info throughout the forum.

After some research, it seems 128GB is quite enough. I partitioned 30% (36GB) TeslaCam and 60% Music. My SanDisk UltraFit still have 2 years warranty so I won't have to worry it dying in few months.

BCAA told me to get full coverage and then go to BCAA same day or next day to refund and get BCAA coverage. She said I won’t lose money or pay extra.

That sucks. It’s a repair regardless. The paint is not the same as factory.

Is the SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB still working fine? I heard some died after few months in a Tesla due to too many write cycles.

In Vancouver? My last accident was in 2010 and I was quoted $1400 >15km for work, $300 deductible.

Thanks Sounds good, I got some spare 500GB SSD. Time to put them in good use.
