    Getting refund for roadster reservation

    I deposited in June and cancelled in August. No refund yet. Tesla has made 3 unkept promises To return $45k of my $50k deposit by wire transfer. I am going to have to take Them to court in Connecticut to get any attention to the dysfunction in the Tesla Finance Dept. RB Strong

    Getting refund for roadster reservation

    I was told My roadster deposit was ‘approved’ and that I would have it by 9/20 but Not back yet. I have had to defer a Model 3 delivery as my 4 year old S to trade has been at the Watertown MA repair center for a Month. All in all very disappointing.

    Model S/X dashboard User Interface safety issue

    These responses are so misguided. Like Tesla can do no wrong and it is the customers who should adapt.

    Model S/X dashboard User Interface safety issue

    You did not fully comprehend the post. " in that steering wheel position and many others ....are blocked" The point is it is smarter for Tesla to alter the dash display than it is for thousands of customers to sit uncomfortably because of a Tesla oversight.

    Model S/X dashboard User Interface safety issue

    We all know there have been multiple S and X crashes where the driver thought they were in auto steer mode but were likely not. That may unfortunately be true in many cases. It turns out that when cruising at speed the preferred driving position puts the steering wheel adjustment down low so...

    Is this the Model 3 screaming bargain alternative?

    I ask this as a real question. I have been laid up with a cold and M3 wait fatigue so have had ample time to do some deep research - like deep learning but without the bothersome machine expense. i SO - I have come up with an enticing alternative to hanging around hoping for a delivery with...

    Did you not get your model 3 within promised window?

    I configured Dec 11 with a ‘4 week delivery’ And 5 weeks later I do not even have a VIN. Not reassuring.

    East Coast timing

    I configured on 12/11 and received a 4 week delivery estimate. It is now Jan 15 and I do not yet have a VIN. Be wary that you may have to wait longer than the estimate. If I do not have a VIN by this Friday I will defer and wait for AWD. Brian

    East Coast timing

    As a CT owner and first day order placer I configured several weeks ago and received a '4 week delivery' note. No VIN or actual delivery date yet. I saw elsewhere here that Mt Kisco has delivered some non employee M3 orders so that is encouraging.

    P85D vs Horrid Winter Slush

    Icy roads demand low regen. I am repeating this for emphasis. Any force at the wheels starting or stopping has to be controlled very precisely on ice. Even traction control hunting for traction between wheels can cause a breakaway. In extemis if a spin starts you are often better off...
