Sweet!! Thanks for the reply - i'm trying to see if I need to fly back to take it out once every month to make sure everything stays working. This is good news to hear. Thanks for the intel!

I work a seasonal job. I'm leaving my 2020 model 3 performance in a garage for 4 months without driving it. I'm not worried about it running out of battery - I can have my girlfriend move it to charge any time if needed. Months ago, I read something about the performance brake calipers locking...

Hi, There are a ton of experts in this form, so I wanted to ask a question to you model S owners! I just recently purchased a new 2020 model 3 and I don't anticipate having to service that vehicle any time soon. However, my parents are considering buying a 2016 model S. So that's my question...

this is very helpful. Thank you for teaching me this.

ugh. Sorry you're having issues too. Please keep in touch and let me know if you figure out a resolve. I will too. On a lighter note, I got to show a friend my car who hasn't experienced it. And i wanted to show off some voice commands. This is when my voice commands weren't working at all. I...

same here! My voice commands aren't working as well now too. My main issue is that it's not picking up my voice at all, or as clearly sometimes. I seem to have to talk super loud to be heard... which isn't normal compred to 40.50.5 update. .7 update is pissin' me off! :(

Hey all. I had version 40.50.5 on my Tesla yesterday. I updated today to 40.50.7 and now my Tesla app isn't working correctly, i can't view notifications, i can't view my inbox in my tesla app, and sometimes the app will not even connect to my car at all. So I can't control the car with summon...

both of you have been extremely helpful. Thank you so much for easing some of my concerns. However, i'm still considering buying winter tires. It looks like here will be snow in the forecast. And temps down to 16 degrees. Winter tires could be nice? Its just a huge expense...

I have a few concerns and want advice from you guys who have way more experience than I do! I live in Phoenix, AZ. It's hot here, but we still have a fair amount of pot holes. I've never owned a car with 20 inch rims. They're gorgeous, but I am hyper cautious when I drive - I am terrified that...

Took delivery this morning. My panel gaps are really good - incredibly symmetrical. Zero complaints. No scratches. No paint issues. Went through an 80 point delivery checklist and everything seems to be pretty flawless. I couldn't be happier with the vehicle. I've been driving and smiling ALL...

To all my lovely and beautiful SoCal orders, you guys shoulda moved your delivery location to Scottsdale. I bet you woulda received your cars by now or at least a month earlier. Seriously though. Elon hates SoCal orders. RIP.

Yikes

True. Oh I know I'm gonna get a tremendous amount of grief for driving 5 under the speed limit in my Performance Tesla. I know I have the unpopular opinion of driving a slower top speed - I've just got all my top speed excitement out of my body. But nonetheless, it's nice to have options.

You're literally my favorite person in this thread. lol! I hope you get your car ASAP. You've been waiting entirely too long.

I was quoting those speeds from a question asked by another user. The thrill of acceleration to 60 mph is much different than enjoying a top speed above 100+. *sigh* Misunderstanding this certainly does call for an awkward silence. Regardless, enjoy your purchase and best wishes.

Before I spoke, I didn't realize this forum had "who has the biggest penis" boys. Lmao. A car to me isn't about how fast you get it going or how much you customize it. It's about enjoying the full experience. Ultimately, to each their own. If we're going to be particular and unnecessarily picky...

I think you'll be good for the tax credit. Tesla is working hard to fulfill as many 4Q orders as possible. Even new sales of 2019 vehicles. Also, the speed question. I've never gotten a car over 120 mph on the road and have no desire to. Do you ever reasonably foresee yourself testing the...

I created this thread in hopes of becoming prepared and adopting the right approach to taking delivery. I think my questions have been answered by a few of you quite well along with plenty of great input. I had already come to the conclusion on my own that it would be best to try and accept...

This is great stuff. A winning perspective. Thank you.

Trust me, I'm completely aware upon posting this that I may sound like a stress case. I'd just rather be equipped with strong answers and know the working parameters instead of accidentally signing or accepting flaws that they may never fix for me. With that said, I know that there's plenty of...

Thank you for the very informative reply. I should do the same with the 1 week test drive.. and at least view it that way. I'm just really worried about this delivery process. My situation is a bit different. I have the next 4 months free to enjoy the car 24/7, then I will have to put the...

Jnord has a point. I am not one to gang up on someone, but you literally have done nothing but complain on this forum with all of your posts. What's your purpose here if not to spread your hatred for the brand of the car you own? That's very confusing.

[Embarrassment bump]

I spoke with my delivery specialist today. I asked about panel gaps and delivery issues. He comforted and told me confidently that "Tesla has been doing way better this year with panel gaps and quality issues - especially in the Scottsdale location." Obviously, I didn't believe him at all and...

It cracks me up every time someone posts a picture of their Tesla they just picked up or a truck full of Teslas being delivered. We all like it, can't stop looking at it, and are desperate for our delivery. We're like boys who just discovered porn. Rofl.

Yeah I hear the summers are bad here and that's why I've never experienced a Phoenix summer haha

OMG!@###!##@!#@!#!@#!@# I JUST GOT MY DELIVERY TEXT TOO!!@!@@!!@!@!@!@!@!@!@ Vehicle in transit!!! Ordered 12/3 VIN in source 12/8 Delivery scheduled 12/12. 9 days from config to delivery. Can we just talk about how GREAT it is to live in Phoenix, Arizona?!

Did you get your VIN on 12/9 or just find it in the source? Because I found my source VIN a day before you, so Im hoping for a text for delivery soon! Picking up in Scottsdale too! Happy for you!

I feel so insanely bad for you Cali guys. So many of you ordered from Cali, and you're all like the very last people to get your car. lol. You should really complain to them directly about that. That's not cool.

This has been something I've noticed on every single model 3 that hardly anyone talks about. I get that it's a car, but what's so damn hard about putting things in alignment? Even if you take into consideration that things often move when they cure.

Hey man, I'd recommend speaking to Andrew. He is much more helpful than the other SA's at Scottsdale Tesla Service. He is who I am working with for my delivery that will potentially happen next week. I got my VIN in source yesterday. I spoke with a few people and learned my Tesla had entered...

delivery on the 22nd is nice and early... AND you're far east as michigan. That's impressive. When did you order?

Ok sweet, thanks for the heads up. I won't be that guy!

Yeah man! I hope I end up lucky and getting it quickly! Also, I'm keeping an eye on the tracking. A handful of other performance orders received their VINS this week as well.

Ah, good to know. I just want this car asap!! You have delivery scheduled?! Animal! Happy for you!

Sweet, thanks home boi!

I have a few questions. I just found my source VIN. Is my source VIN 100% going to be my actual VIN? Also, after having your VIN populate on the source view, how long does it take for your actual VIN to appear on the Management / Overview page on the official website?

Yesterday, when I saw everyone posting their VINs were appearing in the source, I searched 5JY and didn't find anything in the source. This morning, I realized you're not suppose to ctrl+F 5JY... it's 5YJ... woops! So I searched the right key words and found my VIN this morning on 12/9... but my...

Nice man, excited for you! I'm excited so many people got vins in the last 24 hours! :)

What Is A Sleeper Or Stealth Tesla Model 3 Performance? | CleanTechnica

eh. Tough question to ask. Was it right to take delivery? After some thought, I think I'd still take delivery. Here are my major conflicting thoughts: Your delivery specialist was a real piece of work. Sigh, I'm so sorry. That taints the delivery experience in a huge way. Also, you had some big...

i don't at all intend this to be a rude comment... just trying to be helpful and realistic for you! However, ive been reading around a lot on this forum. Although it is counterintuitive, California deliveries seem to be a lower priority than other states and locations, it takes 3 days for your...

You're right. People need to remember that Tesla is a public company. The more deliveries they make in 4Q19, the better things will be for their shareholders. It's in their best interest to pump out cars and work their employees overtime like crazy. The only bad part for us 4Q Tesla buyers is...

I've been doing about 3-5 hours of reading a day in regard to my Tesla delivery time. I checked other's numbers on the tesla tracking spreadsheet, and called multiple different tesla specialists. Every thing I've been digesting is telling me to expect my vin in the next 5-8 business days with...

I don't think that's true. I got a insured by american family for $89/month full coverage for my 2020 performance model 3 and i just turned 26. They quoted me this rate when i was 25 several months ago. Keep shopping around - there are better rates to be had!

You're giving me confidence and reducing stress. Thank you. Id be so thankful to get it on time

Thank. I'll just be sad if i dont get that tax credit. It just seems unlikely for them to send me a car in 2-3 weeks when some of you have been waiting 10! I hope you're right, i bet this may become a painful waiting process

Ok but what does that mean? Because it seems like a lot of people get their VIN, and then get their Tesla a week later. If you ordered in Sept and early October, I'd be harassing them every day if I hadn't gotten my car by then - you're talking 8-10 week delivery time when most of you were...

Midnight Perf! You ordered 10/12 in AZ and still haven't gotten anything? Please keep me updated. I ordered earlier this week in Arizona and the website says I should be getting the car by the end of this month!
