    Vendor Mountain Pass Performance Intro - Updates

    Actually, it was Sasha who suggested it, not some kid in a Civic.

    And what about the weirdos like me, who want the sports dampers with the comfort springs?

    Best tires for standard aero wheels

    I don’t like the MXM4. They came stock on my 2016 Model S 90D. After 8000 miles the wet traction was very poor. The car fishtailed regularly on wet roads. Yes a dual motor Model S, non-performance. I replaced them with Pirelli P-Zero All-season plus. 16,000 miles later, no issues. Yes, I took...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Which service center? If it is Austin, you may need to go there. Shouldn’t be the case, but I could never get them to respond to me.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I paid in full the same day, but mine took 7 days to arrive in Austin. I think the batches are coming pretty close together now.

    I wouldn't count on it. I would reach out for confirmation either Thursday night or Friday morning.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Thanks, but no. I didn’t like the gloss black look anyway. I’m going to wrap, just have to decide what wrap.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I got my car today. I don’t understand how they can be so inefficient. My appointment was at 10:30. When I arrived at 10:15, my car was already on the delivery floor. They delivered two other cars before mine. I got my car about 11:45. Do they have no records? They wanted to text me the...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I left. I am beyond pissed. Why did they twice make earlier my delivery appointment, if they had not completed inspection of the vehicle. My first Model S was delayed two days out because they inspected it and realized repairs were needed. Why schedule appointments at all, if you haven’t...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Car not ready. Multiple excuses. I have wasted 3 hours and they refused to pay for my Lyft home.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I gave up. 2 hours and 15 minutes after my appointment. Just too much bull sugar. What is the point of an appointment?

    Texas Hold Up!

    Well, I just got a call to move up my delivery again. This time to tomorrow at 1:15. Does that mean that I'm sneaking ahead of you @CrazyCoconut ?

    Texas Hold Up!

    Just got a text saying my car is in Austin and asking if I want to move up delivery to this Saturday. I said: YES! United Road still says Port of San Francisco Pier 80. I don’t know how it got here.

    Yeah, I ordered on 6/26/18. DBM P- white interior FSD. I used the backdoor to edit on 9/6/18 Going to MCRed, P+, White interior, FSD. They gave me all of the prices as of my 6/26 order.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Hey, I got my VIN on 9/11/18 and funded on 9/11/18 but I haven't heard from our IDA about trucking yet. United Road is only showing Fremont Factory to Port of SF Pier 80. My first Model S was shipped 10/25/13 and delivered 11/21/13. The second completed production 1/13/16 and was delivered...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Does anyone know or even have a theory about how my car is likely to come to Austin given that United Road shows that it was trucked to the Port of San Francisco. It doesn’t seem as though it is a likely place to go if it will be shipped by rail. But I was wondering if anyone had knowledge or...

    I just got Stephanie A (last night) as my ISA as well. Everything is confirmed. She's requested the MVPA and tentatively scheduled 9/28 delivery at Pond Springs. :cool: Not sure I believe it but

    Has anyone broken through the contracts/paperwork "freeze" yet?

    So how long is it taking now from the “Model 3 Delivery” email to being able to pay? I just got my email today.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I just got my email from my IDA too. Maybe we can meet at Pond Springs for delivery. Any ideas how long until we can pay now? I am ready to start waiting for transportation to Texas.

    Just out of curiosity, why both types of tire repair plugs?

    Texas Hold Up!

    On both of my Model Ss, sale date was the date I paid. I remember because on the first car I had to sweet talk the woman at the Travis County Clerk’s office. At first she was saying that I was late in paying the sales tax and owed a penalty. I explained that I had only received the car and the...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I’m not thinking that they are actually that organized right now. I’m a P-, white interior order. But Model S owner since 2013, 3/31 reservation, 6/26 order, in TX and still no contact.

    Is it unethical to charge extra for Autopilot (software) after we had paid for the hardware?

    You THINK you paid for the software. Tesla says you did not. They sell the product. They set the price. They advertise the price. You knew all of this upfront. Make your decision and live with it. Tesla is trying to make a profit. You can argue that EAP is overpriced. Maybe it is. Then don’t buy...

    P3D white interior (no performance upgrade package) VIN updates

    I called in, hoping for some information. I still have the edit back door. I was told that I have a delivery advisor. And that she should have called me by now. The phone rep said she sent an urgent message to my delivery advisor to call me. Phone rep said she could not see a VIN. Being in TX...

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    But with Texas sales they have no liability. The sale is completed and “delivered” in California. The sale is complete and the risk of loss has passed to the purchaser. At least that was the case with my Model S. I was told that the carrier had insurance on the vehicle but it was mine.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    I know what you say is true in normal states. But I wonder about us in Texas. Once we have paid in full, the car is legally ours even though it may be in California still. So maybe Texas cars paid for in September are sales in the third quarter. I'm not an accountant, but this at least seems...

    Vorsteiner VFF-103 aftermarket 20" wheels

    I'd be surprised if it was that bad. My 2013 Model S P85+ with 245/35/21 and 295/30 21 got 320-340 wh / mi.

    Updated account summary page: did anyone not get it?

    I have had the updated page for a long time. But until today whenever I clicked the link to download the owner’s manual, I got a 404 page not found error. All of sudden this evening it downloads the manual. Is this progress? Does this mean anything? I hope so. But I doubt it.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    Eh, don’t think so. The P3 white interior Aero crowd is getting no love either. I think both groups will see movement in the next week or two. But that’s just a guess.

    P3 Costa Mesa Delivery - Admirable effort, considering the challenges.

    I called with some questions the other day. One question I asked was about track mode for the performance without performance upgrades. The phone answer assured me vehemently that all performance model 3s with or without performance upgrades would get track mode when it is released. I have very...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    I called into the 888-51TESLA number today with a couple of questions and I asked if the 19" sport wheels would fit over the Performance upgrade brakes. I don't think I believe it, but I was told that while they will fit the clearances are too tight for Tesla to officially approve. Who knows.

    Lowering the Model 3

    My Model Ss have had very high, high, standard and low. Standard is a bit lower than the coils that were offered at the time I got the car.

    M3 wrap costs (XPEL and color change)

    Are those color change wraps including doing the door jambs and all so that there is no sign of the original color? If so, that’s a great deal compared to what I’ve seen in Austin.

    White interior available for AWD /nonP

    According to Tesla - Any Deliveires that Dont have a contract already are delayed

    One of my first bosses told me: “You can delegate everything except responsibility.” Tesla chose their vendors and contractors. Tesla still has the responsibility for performance of their subs and vendors in my book.
