    Model 3 LR not currently available to order (USA) [posted 08.12.2022 --Its back! 05.02.2023]

    My hypothesis is that they are doing this to clear out the backlog and complete current M3LR orders before announcing a pricing change for 2023 that will meet the new tax credits. If they lowered the price now, everyone with current M3LR orders waiting to be filled would demand the lower price...

    New M3 with Matrix headlights a life saver last night

    A little hard to tell from that picture, but the darker color makes me think those are matrix. Here is a pic of them side by side- left is matrix, right is older ‘premium’. Matrix has the ’eyeball’ circular projector oun the outside:

    Magic solution for getting bird poop etching out of paint clear coat!

    With less than 500 miles on the odometer of our brand new M3LR in MSM paint, a bird pooped right in the freaking middle of the hood. It’s like they know. . . Washed it today, but the bird poop left an etching in the clear coat, as they often do. I tried other various methods, and the etching...

    New M3 with Matrix headlights a life saver last night

    Ironically our other vehicle is a full size pickup with light bars! ;-). We live in the country and so are able to use the light bars even though it is technically illegal, and are they amazing, light up the world like daylight- I have high quality RIGID lights. Man does it suck to fill with gas...

    New M3 with Matrix headlights a life saver last night

    This is my “subjective” reaction to the confirmation of my very objective, many many hours of detailed research and detailed analysis regarding headlights that would work for my situation and medical condition. I have also have had many nice cars, and it is amazing how on some models headlights...

    Who else was sitting at home with their new Tesla already delivered, but still daily checking this thread to check on poor @T-J- ? Cause I was . . . ;-). Congrats!! May you be blessed with more matrix headlights, Michelin tires, and Ryzen chips then you can handle . . . ;-)

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I agree that if they just activated adaptive features now it would really upset those that didnt get the lights. I think at this point unfortunately with there now being a good number of 3’s out there with the reflector lights, and all the Y’s out there without them, probably the only way they...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah pretty much the same, and if that is they way they all come then weird but great as that was the final thing i needed to figure out with the car! I will add an edit to my post to confirm it is no longer an issue ;-). Must make it REALLY easy if they are doing charge port fixes, as all the...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    Final update- For those that may not have seen my final post on the M3LR forum yesterday, Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room we picked up our M3LR which had the slightly older Vin 236,4XX and older build date. Happy to report that it HAS the matrix headlights, and all is well for us! We took it for a...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well then maybe I stand corrected, and will be very happy if that is the case!!! I just thought it seemed a bit odd as there are exposed wires etc, but if it is the way it is supposed to be, then that will make me a FULLY happy camper with no issues upon delivery! I still have the service...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is we got our Tesla!! If you have been following my earlier posts, we were assigned an older vin- 236,XXX with an older build date, and so were a little leary. We arrived at the dealership today with checklists and flashlights in hand ready...

    Before you roast me, yes i realize that I am responding to myself ;-) I am doing it just to keep the reference there for those that are tracking people as they work through the process . . . ;-) This am woke up to my 3 day delivery window being bumped by the dreaded one day bump. At first i...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I posted this in the M3LR Waiting room, but wanted to update with another datapoint for this thread, since I was one of the original few posters when this news broke. Got assigned a vin just now- older # which is odd/interesting - 2364XX. I texted the SA number and they said they “reviewed this...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got assigned a vin just now- older # - 2364XX. I texted the SA number and they said they “reviewed this vehicle and believe it has the matrix headlights”. I asked two follow up questions, asking what the build date was and why the older vin number, whether it was rejected or affected by the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Tesla should be taking that car out of circulation and sending it themselves to the body shop, before assigning a car that has already been obviously rejected multiple times - or at least being up front with someone who gets it assigned to them that it has the obvious defect. Sounds like they...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Early March OD peeps, there is hope- we are getting close! Have not had a change in EDD this whole time, and this AM when i logged in to check, discovered that we got our 2 week window, changed this AM, new EDD is 5/19-6/2! Dont yet have a vin assigned(checked source code), but means we should...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I am in the exact same boat as you. By exact same, I mean EXACT- same order date, same exact spec for the car, and same where my EDD has not changed since order. I must have ordered slightly sooner than you on the 4th, as I have a slightly earlier EDD. Or I suppose it could be logistics, as I...

    Mobile Connector showing in stock at the Tesla store . . .

    FYI that the Mobile Connector is showing in stock at the Tesla store online. Note that only the NEMA 5-15 adapter one is showing in stock, not the ‘new’ version that comes with the additional 14-50 adapter. However may be worth it to you if you are going to use a mobile connector as your primary...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Woah nice- I am also in Salem, Oregon, and ordered on 3/4, but ordered the Midnight Silver Metalic, so that has to be why you are getting it so far ahead, beings as how you ordered the blue and I am guessing that is not as common of a color! Hope everything goes smoothly for you in PDX, will...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Interesting that Carvana gave you such a low offer- it was the opposite for me- they gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse, and actually sold the car and have been living as a one car family for the last month waiting for our Tesla replacement, as I didnt want to lose out on the offer and/or have...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think besides putting the specs and order date, it would be helpful to make heads or tails of how this all works timing wise to also put down whether or not you are doing a trade in and also doing financing or cash. I have a feeling those two items might also play into whether or not your...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I would have done the same! Good move, although now we will have to be careful of rejects getting reassigned even if it is true they are putting the matrix lights back in. I ordered the exact same car as you, OD of 3/4 . . . ;-)

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    @bugnotfound first thank you for doing this detailed work, it is greatly appreciated. As i mentioned earlier, I researched the heck out of the upgraded matrix lights prior to placing my order, and in addition my brother has a M3 with the old lights, so was able to see the difference in real...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    Good idea, since IMO this is way bigger news then whether or not the mobile charger is included. Dont know if it is kosher to link to Reddit here, so appologies if it is not- thread going on this new news there. As I mentioned in the waiting room, I emailed my store and will let you know what...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I emailed my store and will let you know what I hear back. Orderd my M3LR on 3/4, so getting close, and for me the upgraded matrix lights was one of the main reasons I placed an order. I have a medical condition which has degraded my night vision, and so having good quality headlights is a must...
