    RPM carbon fiber caps for interior trim

    I just received my VIN tonight and now I am ordering accessories. I went with the black interior /wood trim and will most likely want to replace the newly introduced wood door trim pieces and dash trim. The only thing I have found to do that is from RPM. It's basically a peel&stick cap you...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I was going to change my order to blue (from red) but there is no more edit design option in my account just a message that any changes may delay or cost me a fee. I'm assuming that means the car is getting close? EDD is now Aug 21 - Sept 03

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I was Aug 02 - Sep 09..then over the last couple of weeks the August day kept getting pushed out....last night it was Aug 16th - Sept 09...this morning 6-9 weeks. What color did you get? I had ordered red with black interior.

    Trade-In Valuation in Progress

    You are implying that Tesla is always the lower bid and that's simply not true.
  8. Q

    Trade-In Valuation in Progress

    I have sold two cars to Tesla. My last car (just done this past week) Tesla was 8k higher than Carvana, 6k higher than Vroom, 3k-5k higher than 4 local dealers.

    Under trim coming loose

    I dont have my M3 yet but have read others have had that issue and service just pops it back into place. Not sure your car has the same issue, but it looks the same.

    Old gen 1 wall charger

    That's good to hear. Thank you.

    Old gen 1 wall charger

    We have a gen 1 wall charger from when we owned a model s (2013). I am expecting our model 3 performance within a few weeks, looking for confirmation the charger will work with the model 3. Can anyone confirm one way or another?

    South Carolina Waiting Room

    I've been there a couple times and everyone has been very responsive and nice. My SA has texted me a few times just to check if I needed anything so that's been good. When I had my model s the couple of times I required service Tesla sent their ranger service out to work on whatever needed...

    South Carolina Waiting Room

    Midlands area here. Ordered over a week ago. Will pick up in Charlotte (Matthews location). Perf, ordered red, may change to blue. Delivey est: 8/03 - 9/02 Trading in a 2019 BMW M5. I get to go back to electric (owned a model s for 7 years) and get a check back.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I ordered my M3P yesterday and I have dates between July 23 - Aug 22. Personally, after watching the Plaid delivery thread and the model 3 delivery threads, I put no stock into the EDD time frames. I'm fairly confident I'll get my car by October and that works for me.
  15. Q

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I just ordered my M3P. Seriously considered the Plaid as I had owned a model s for 7 years. However, I do not travel like I used to and will probably only put 3k a year on anything I purchased (have a truck as well). Figured better to get a big check back (trading M5 comp for M3) and have a...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Looks to me the door is misaligned. Top right of door trim looks to be (a little less) than a quarter of an inch higher than the trim on the panel near the seat.
  17. Q

    Plaid handling

    How does the Plaid do in staying true in lane? Since all car makers have dumped hydraulic steering and went to EPS (years ago) I have found a lot of cars have a little play when driving down the highway. It makes the car(s) feel like they want to wander a little bit on long roads so I would find...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Not where I live, if I need service on my M5 comp I have to go to them. The dealership is about 25 mintues away.
  19. Q

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My bet is the LR will be like my M5 comp, perhaps slightly faster, 1/4 mile 11 secs, possibly as low as 10.3
  20. Q

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Which is why I am a fence sitter at this point. I'll wait for the inevitable YT videos "LR vs Plaid!" for the 0-60, 60 - 120 and 1/4 times as well as handling and cornering between the two trim levels. I also want CF trim and perhaps if I get lucky there will be a regular steering wheel option...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    That's a bummer this is still around. My 2013 P85 (one of the first in my home state) had this issue. I did the same fix years ago, however in my case when I opened the back it started making a hard popping noise (the latch releasing apparently had a ton of tension on it after i made the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Good luck with that. Rivian is way behind. Apparently they will release trucks based more on how close to a service center you are than when you ordered. The inital service centers opening will be few and far between and only a handful will be open soon, all near large cities in big states. I...
  23. Q

    Current best guesses on delivery time, please.

    Over the last couple of years the lack of new pictures, articles or mentions by Tesla convinced me the roadster was going to be pushed back and I decided not to put a deposit down. My bet is 2023/2024 for actual delivery.
  24. Q

    Bubbles / specs on all the windows.

    From the picture it looks like sap to me. It is spring. I experienced a similar look/feel. I thought it couldn't be sap, turned out to be what it was.

    Today's Roadster Orphan

    I might be interested if you decide to let the roadster go. Send me a message if you decide to sell the car privately. Thanks

    Tesla site, Roadster MIA?

    You are correct. Thanks
  28. Q

    Tesla site, Roadster MIA?

    *update* I can still access the roadster page if I google "Tesla roadster order page" and get to the page that way. However I do not see a link on the Tesla website page still. Perhaps it is just a website issue.
  29. Q

    Tesla site, Roadster MIA?

    I logged onto Tesla's website last night (and today) and did not see the Roadster listed across the top of their main page like the rest of their models. It could be I'm just blind or perhaps they are changing their website. But as of right now I cannot find a way to access the roadster order page.
  30. Q

    If you're first, you're last.

    You are framing it as if investing in Tesla was everyone else's only other option. I doubt for most it was one or the other. I would also assume if one can afford a 250k car that one makes a pretty good living. Heck, was it worth it not to buy Tesla stock when it was $39 a share instead of...

    Model Y vs. Mustang GTE

    I've asked several posters who post habitual negative post why they stay on a Tesla board if they do not like the product or company. Almost 100% of the time they'll reply without answering that part of my query. Why? Because they have an agenda, there is no other way to look at it. If you post...

    Would be great if we get a Roadster update tonight

    Agreed. I want confirmation they are going to be available by the end of 2020 (even if it's limited). At the very least update us on what's going on and when they expect production to begin.
  33. Q

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    I like white cars but am not comfortable driving one for some silly reason. However, yours looks great and I could over come that feeling in that car. Congrats and I hope you get as many years enjoyment as I have gotten out of mine (2013 MS).
  34. Q

    Anyone buying the new 2020 Corvette C8 before the Roadster 2020?

    The Taycan isn't ugly, by any means, but it isn't great looking either (imho). The roadster on the other hand is just 'wow' looking. I've owned dozens of expensive cars over the years, I cannot recall ever being this excited about a vehicle like I am the Roadster. Perhaps a close second was when...

    Will the Next-Gen Tesla Roadster Be Delayed?

    If you have these feelings towards this company, why do you linger and post on a board dedicated to it's products?
  36. Q

    Has Model S quality improved?

    I think most reasonable people that had your "experience" would just write off the company and move on. What compels you to linger here? I also stand by my post, you implied that one day I would bitch about the things you were writing about but I have a 7 year history of no such behavior. And...
  37. Q

    Has Model S quality improved?

    First of all I have owned a Model S since 2013. I speak from practical experience. You on the other hand, come to a Tesla site and immediately start spewing all the same talking points that most of us on here have heard for years, in various forms. Your post right out the gate has just been a...
  38. Q

    Has Model S quality improved?

    The fact this bulldog guy is on a Tesla form posting the way he does really tells you all you need to know. Go back and look through his post history to see the mentality/bias or agenda he came to the site with.
  39. Q

    Has Model S quality improved?

    Me either. Their service has been fantastic. I have never had to take my car to a service center, all my small services were done via rangers. Everyone I have dealt with at Tesla has treated me well.

    2013 P85 values?

    Thank you all for weighing in. I'm probably going to have the touchscreen fixed as I may end up keeping it while awaiting my next electric vehicle. Vroom offered me 33k, which seems to be in line with what has be brought up in this thread.
  41. Q

    2013 P85 values?

    I haven't read anything about the bubble but the seems to be what is under the glass. I think you are correct about the value. Thanks for your thoughts.
  42. Q

    2013 P85 values?

    I have a loaded (21" dark wheels, sunroof, leather, spoiler, CF interior trim, black leather, etc.) Blue 2013 P85 (RWD, no AP, no parking sensors) with about 27500 miles on it. I'm thinking about selling. Not sure what the value of the car is. I know what places like Vroom have offered and I...

    Raven torque steer?

    I think you may be correct. I might have conflated "may be coming soon" talk with what was actually done. I think they took the M3 rear motor and put it in the front of the refreshed MS replacing what type of motor was there originally.
  44. Q

    Raven torque steer?

    Thanks for the replies. I guess the best way to find out is to go test drive one.
  45. Q

    Raven torque steer?

    I have been reading Raven reviews and all are really positive about the better range, improved handling and ride via the new suspension, etc. However, I have read a couple of articles discussing torque steer that was not present in the non-raven models. There was a couple of post suggesting that...
  46. Q

    Bought a S85 and all four front lower control arms need replacement.

    I wouldn't extrapolate that this is inherent with all Tesla cars. I've had my 2013 P85 since it was new and had no issues with the suspension or steering (and yes it gets driven).
  47. Q

    $20,000 Discount on Ludicrous Mode for existing owners. Still applies to new price?

    I can understand being upset about buying recently and then features get added or prices get lowered. But come on, people can claim they were given certain expectations, but I suspect most knew there was a good possibility these things would occur. If I was looking to buy or upgrade I would be...

    Tesla buy back my Model S 2018, should I get another Model S?

    Personally, if I had as many issues that some on these forums have claimed to have had, I would just get out of a Tesla and not look back. I sure as heck wouldn't be hanging on a Tesla forum on a regular basis posting my anger and disappointment. First, I do not think it would deter many owners...
  49. Q

    Unable to Get Service for MAJOR problems

    With all the pokes people take at Tesla on here, some valid, some not, it's a bit unrealistic to expect people to know who is kidding and who isn't. I mean I don't know you or what your position is regarding Tesla. What was my clue you were j/k? Regardless, no blood, foul. :)
  50. Q

    under 10,000 per year

    I think the roadster is a great looking vehicle and if Tesla achieves it's stated specs, the car will sell. We have friends who never really looked into Tesla as they felt it was a niche market or fad. Some said they didn't feel Tesla vehicles could measured up to the cars they currently dive...
