Thanks for posting this. When someone is seated in the front passenger seat and I take a turn, I hear the same sound.

Great find. Thanks for sharing!

In my experience, I had the option of declining once I received a text/email notification that my vehicle/VIN is available. No dealer visit.

You'll get a text/phone call. At that time you can decline. I believe you can decline three times.

They have received your vehicle and a pre-inspection is performed. If something doesn't meet "tolerance levels" you'll be notified. In the past, one had three days to pickup the vehicle. I see that has been extended to at least a week. Good for you....and Tesla.

My transactions were all paperless. One presses the "accept" button on the app. In my area, one has to accept before doing an internal inspection. I am lucky in that there was nothing to correct in any of my five transactions. My only complaint is that they could have been charged to 80% instead...

That's new. I'm glad they're accepting personal checks now. Much more convenient.

All my transactions were done without meeting/seeing anyone at, Tesla. My financing was done outside of Tesla financing and I had a very good finance rep who was on top of things. The only time I've noticed where you'll need to meet with a Tesla rep is if you need to provide a down payment and...

Just the local Tesla OR the nat'l number. You'll get a live person for sure that can assist.

I've had five deliveries in CA and they were charged between 50 - 60%. So, be prepared. Like what was suggested, map your charging stations now.

Nope

Just finished the install on this and found a much, much, much easier way. No removing of tail lights, no partial removal of bumper or wheel-well liner and no drilling. Probably did the install in about 15 minutes. Sorry no pictures. Pull the plastic that surrounds the trunk latch. Remove the...

I paid as soon as I received my scheduled pick up day. I've never heard of a car suddenly disappearing because the VIN has been assigned to you. If you don't respond to an email/text in a timely manner, I can see Tesla giving yoit VIN to someone else.

As soon as you know your delivery date, you should be able to procure financing in minutes. I wouldn't hesitate.

Always purchased new from Tesla. If one wishs to purchase used directly from Tesla, one has to check the site daily and click the "buy now" button.

You should have received a, "Welcome to the Tesla family" email.

Call the nearest Tesla showroom to you. If they don't answer, you'll be transfered to a phone bank.

Yes. They will ask to verify if you're paying cash. At that time, you can tell them that you've changed your mind and that you'd like to lease. I don't know if there are any ad/disadvantages to informing them sooner. You might want to call with a "hypothetical" question.

Your generic texts are highly likely from an SA at your nearest service center. I would call your nearest service center for more info. If no one answers there, your call will be routed to a "phone bank" and they'll be able to answer any questions that you may have.

What a horrible experience. I'm sure you documented everything and took photos. I would definitely contact the manager of your nearest service center and even regional manager. I'm really sorry this happened to you. I hope Lucid takes good notes.

Saw the Lucid last weekend. Stats blow Tesla out of the water but it will cost you a pretty penny.

I don't think it could be done across state lines. Your specs are matched to vehicles arriving to your designated pick-up/delivery site. If you've established a good relationship with your SA or someone at that site, you could ask them to match your specs from another site in your region and...

You can wait until you receive your VIN. Paying sooner won't move you up in the queue. Just make sure you have your payment/financing ready.

GEICO isn't offering MBI for the 2022 Model 3. Boo!

Your ED is roughly correct. I would expect it in April more than May. Trade-in evaluations expire and are renewed (if you choose) every 30 days. I would add the trade-in and casually find out what other offers are out there. Once you obtain a VIN, start the ball rolling on the financing as...

You have a couple of options and it depends on your bank. 1. Don't tell your bank, yet. If your replacement is exactly the same as the original, you can tell your bank to update the VIN once you get the replacement. You can just tell them that the first one was damaged and Tesla took too long...

Any time now.

Orders are usually fulfiilled at the end of the quarter you ordered in OR about 8 weeks after your order. Your latest ED seems right.

Depending on how busy your service center is, you’ll either get a Tesla loaner or Uber credits. No matter what you get, slip the advisor a Starbucks GC or a GC from a nearby dining establishment. This will help for the next visit.

You would think the process would streamlined and efficient after more than a decade.

Last year, I wasn't able to provide a current photo of my wife's driver's license because she had misplaced it. When I texted Tesla they said to do one of two things; provide a photo of any ID with her photo on it or just have one registered owner and add the second later. I added her work ID...

Check the torque on your wheel lugs. As with previous orders, the lugs were short of spec anywhere from half a 1/4 turn to a full turn. When my brother brought his by a few weeks ago, his were the same. Probably not a big deal but it shouldn't happen. 129 ft. lbs is spec.

Yes, pre-November I believe. Received the class-action post card. Never had a problem with it as with Venmo, as with Paypal, as with Zelle, as with Samsung Pay, as with Google pay...may haunt me later. Lol!

Being involved in five transactions with Tesla over the last few years, I thought I’d share what I’ve learned about the buying process from ordering to delivery. Forum commoners won’t find anything surprising here. So, this is really meant for those new to the process. Knowing about this forum...

I tried using the brake and accelerator simultaneously and much to my surprise it worked. A nasty-gram appeared saying something like 'motor torque disengaged, manual braking only.' My rotors look like yours now.

Congratulations!

Interesting to know that I wasn't the only one. Hoping you have a pristine vehicle waiting for you!

Give it a day or two. You're really close!

You should have received an email from your "primary" advisor. If you didn't get one, I would call the service center closest to you for answers to your questions. If you don't get anyone there, the call will be forwarded to a "phone bank" where you can get assistance as well.

I've been texted, emailed and called in previous purchases.

You're close when your range drops down to two weeks and then one week. Your due date is usually at the end of the quarter that you ordered in. If you ordered in Jan, you should be getting yours in mid/end March.

I have the LR, Ryzen, Lithium batt, CW03, double pane front windows.

Congrats, Doggerton!

I've had 5 transactions with them. Be patient. When your window goes down to one week, then you can get excited.

Assuming that the brake pads are also from Brembo, here is Brembo's bedding/break-in procedure; The discs are delivered with a thin zinc coating to prevent corrosion. Prior to beginning the bedding procedure, this plating must be removed from the braking surfaces by driving the car slowly...

If I recall, shipments arrive 2-3 times a week (M-Tu-We/Th). Based on your OD, yours probably won't arrive until mid/end of March.

If it's a simple fix, they'll help. If not, they'll direct you down the street.

There are employees onsite. They're there mostly to resolve issues and NOT to provide any type of tutorial.
