    Suspension Difference - AWD vs RWD?

    So I recently purchased Eibach Pro kit springs for my '22 Tesla Model 3 AWD, but I realized I just bought the wrong part number (E10-87-001-01-22), which is actually for the RWD. Apparently, the AWD is P/N E10-87-001-02-22. My question is, what exactly is the difference in suspension between...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Seems that way. I ended up ordering an existing inventory car in sept and it already had a vin, but took almost a week to get to my SC from Fremont, which was only an hr away.

    It would take a good hit to puncture PPF. But then it all depends which brand you get as well. Xpel, Suntek, Llumar, and 3M are the best out there. But I already noticed about 6-7 rocks hit my hood/bumper and i just wiped it off with a microfiber cloth and its good as new. PPF is also self...

    I went with Lion Window Tinting in San Mateo. Amazing customer service and they even drove me home to Daly City after I dropped my car off. Literally a 25min drive lol. They also added a bunch of extra stuff like PPF'd the rocker panels and top of the rear bumper (so loading the car wont...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    For me, within the first week, I got PPF, ceramic tint, ceramic coating, and AB. Overall it cost me around 4K. That’s with full frontal PPF. Doing doors this weekend, which will cost another 1.5k 🤑

    It’s been tested on YouTube already. Stock AWD LR tested at a bit under 4.2sec at 4.19 and AB was around 3.68

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It already helped me when I opened my door in my garage and banged it on my drawer. I previously had PPF on my door jams and they are still in perfect condition after quite a few accidental wide door swings Nope. The cam didn’t catch the plates. Rather when they pulled in, it wasn’t clear...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That thin layer of plastic would have saved my paint chip though. The door wasn’t even swung that hard and the paper thin tesla paint cracked already. My opinion is, if you have the money, do it for peace of mind. My OCD and anxiety is forever grateful for PPF. PS: I already scheduled an...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, I fully regret not getting PPF on the doors. I already made an appointment with my guy. This will ease my anxiety ugh

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    yeah, thats what ill do, just sucks that i just paid thousands for PPF (front only) and ceramic coating just for this to happen

    well my biggest fear just happened..some old guy opened their door on my car and chipped the paint. Awesome…

    just thought I’d share. Saw this while driving to great mall in Milpitas, CA 😳

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    For everything it was about $4000. That was for full frontal PPF, Lifetime ceramic coating warranty and full ceramic tint. At night it’s definitely hard to see out the back since 5% is limo tint, but it’s fine. My 15% driver/passenger windows are quite dark as well and if I need to parallel...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    All done! ceramic coat, PPF and tint all over a 2 day span. The guy also threw in some PPF protection for my door corners and top bumper free! Extremely happy with results. FYI I had 15% tint on driver/passenger doors and 5% back doors and rear window

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah I drove it home 2hrs without acceleration boost and it was plenty fast, but with AB it just feels like there’s zero lag and it’s just much quicker. That .5 sec 0-60 improve sounds negligible but you’ll feel it. To me, being a car guy, it’s well worth the money

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Man I had to drive it for the first time from Sac to SF and I experienced a lot in that driver including 2x phantom braking. It was scary but nothing I didn’t experience already with my 2020 Civic Si when I had it. Definitely just need to punch the gas when it happens. As for the braking on...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Appreciate it and I hope so too. But yeah Tesla did get back to me today and said my car is ready tomorrow at 6pm. This incident definitely put a damper on my mood, but the show must go on.. My parents are still safe and we all have our health. Thats all that really matters in the end.

    Well, an update -- more like a life update rather. My parent's house had the unfortunate event of getting robbed today. This happened while I was at work and it was only my mom home alone. 3 robbers broke in from the back door and stole all of her life savings and beat her as well. Just a...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well Tesla once again decided to disappoint me again. Delivery is delayed for the 2nd time. Now they pushed it back to 9/30. Man it used to be EDD BS, but now its delivery BS. I thought buying it from existing inventory would be a smooth easy process, but I guess Tesla finds ways to...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    When I ordered through “existing inventory”which had a VIN attached to the order already, I got a text from a SA in 2 days asking to schedule delivery. I would call your service adviser or local service center and ask because if you have a VIN already, it’s not still in production as far as I...

    Damn you're dedicated lol 4hrs.. I was complaining about 2hrs -- but thats because I dont have a ride to that service center lol. Is someone driving you?

    I would be pretty upset in your case. Flights can’t be refunded. Glad to hear you got it worked out

    If I didn’t Bart to concord first, my Uber ride would cost $170 or so 😂

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah I normally wouldn’t care if the service center was close to my house. But unfortunately the one I bought from existing inventory was in Sacramento which is about a 2hr drive from my house. Seeing as no one could give me a ride to the SC, I had planned to Bart to concord and then Uber the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Do it. It’s literally new cars waiting to be bought. These cars in existing inventory were basically people who cancelled their orders. When I bought mine, my car was still in transit from Fremont. My VIN is proof of that as it is 364xxx which is really new. Instead of driving yourself...

    The SA just texted me back that "Your vehicle is already in Lathrop which is halfway to us here in Sacramento." 🤡

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Weeeeell.. Tesla at it again -- Just got a text from SA saying delivery is delayed until the 28th, Wednesday because the car hasnt arrived yet. Does it really take 2-3 days to go from Fremont to Sacramento?? 🤔🤔 It's extremely frustrating because I had the whole day planned out to pick up tmw...

    You can also click on the X at the top right and put your account info / routing info and leave it as is until its time to actually pay (when you go to service center, inspect, and prior to driving off). I did all the steps up until it says "Pay"

    Yeah white interior already has hydrophobic properties. This article explains it well: https://www.greencarfuture.com/electric/tesla-recommend-white-interior

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    A tip to get them to respond fast is to go to "existing inventory" and select "request call back". A service adviser will get back to you relatively quick. Problem is, after their initial text/call, they will disappear for days, as was my case.

    Almost, only difference is white interior instead of the black i ordered 👍

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yup, I got fed up with waiting after my last EDD was pushed to Dec '22 again and from some advice on here, I looked at the existing inventory and there was an M3LR with a similar config as mine except had white interior instead of my black option. I ended up taking it yesterday and have...

    Thank you! Your ride looks amazing with the tint and the ceramic coating 😍 Another update on my end --- Delivery scheduled for Monday, Sept 26th @ 2pm! It's finally happening woohooooo

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Nope my original order was also an LR but I did cancel my original order. I heard you can talk to your SA and have the new order replace your existing order, but I was never able to get a hold of an SA. So I just forfeited the $250 from the original order

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Still waiting on them to contact me. It’s a bit of a difference situation where the cars already there, but probably just waiting for all the steps to be completed (waiting on finance) and we’ll see after

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Turns out I couldnt do that. I had to pay the extra $250 for a new order, but I ended up getting an existing inventory vehicle as well. Only difference between my original order and new one is old was black interior, this new order is white, which im completely ok with :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Update: Found a White / White M3LR No FSD Aero Wheels in existing inventory in Sacramento. I bit the bullet and purchased it. Hoping the car was a clean reject -- VIN 364XXX EDD is Sept 25-Oct 4 (but most likely very soon) :)
  48. Cho22

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Curious, if you purchase an existing inventory vehicle after already having a current order in place, does the 'existing inventory' order take over your current order, or do you have to pay another $250 and forfeit your other $250?
