    MCU screen yellowing and no UV fix...

    Yeah that's great until Tesla bars you from doing business with them in the future. Seems like a great way to burn a bridge when there's no realistic alternatives out there in the US.

    Installed BlackVue 900X, CM100LTE module, and backup battery

    Blackvue is *sugar*, I got rid of mine after dashcam feature came out. Always “Blackvue Restarting” in the middle of a drive, no matter what brand of microsd card I used. Seems like a pointless upgrade since this feature is built in.

    Returning Model X with in 7 Days of Delivery

    Not sure I'd consider these Luxury just due to price. More than half of the cost is the battery itself. Anyway I'll give you that and call it a Luxury vehicle. Find me a manufacturer of 100K vehicles that comes with immaculate and thick paint jobs, and won't need paint correction or detailing...

    After Model X, what should be our next car?

    Why would you buy anything else? I mean you can at minimum look at the Jaguar iPace, but if you want to trade to an ICE you are just trolling at this point.

    Returning Model X with in 7 Days of Delivery

    I wouldn't touch alignment on the FWDs. They tend to make it worse. Dings you might be able to get Tesla to fix, but I'd just take the car to the detailer instead. You are not going to get a better paint or condition on any other manufacturer. They all have paint issues.

    6 vs 7 seats, 2nd row movement

    I've sat in both the 6 and 7 seater, and unless you are going to constantly use the rear seats for children or need the flat middle row for storage, go with the six. I have the six seater, and the biggest improvement is how easy it is to get in and out of the rear row. It's also more spacious...

    X Delivery Failure - Paint Quality Issue - Is it Normal?

    Stop being so picky. Take the car to the detailer, have it paint corrected and get it wrapped. You will not find any car that comes with perfect paint

    "Off menu" waiting room

    FWIW the White interior is absolutely gorgeous. I have it on both our LR Model3 AWD and my Model X. No regrets.

    Dedham MA waiting room

    If you hadn't paid in full I'd almost wonder if you actually even owned the car :eek: Infact that might be true, you simply gifted the money to Tesla and they are generous enough to let you store someone else's car - very thoughtful of you! /s In all seriousness, email [email protected]...

    Wow that's really confusing. Look under your Tesla page, see if there's a MVPA with a VIN attached. Otherwise you have to chase your DA...Did they not send you a Docusign form to e-sign? That's your final MVPA.

    Dedham MA waiting room

    Did you already pay your car in full? You are supposed to receive the final MVPA when you get assigned a VIN and the car is ready for delivery. That's supposed to be the final contract. I think he hasn't taken delivery yet, unless he wired the full amount at once?

    I went to the Nashua one, on Exit 6. But mine has a VIN. You need the MVPA that you provided to the bank. Mine says "Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement Final Price Sheet", it's page 2 of the pdf.

    Dedham MA waiting room

    Take the bill of sale (mvpa) to the DMV, and they will get you temp tags. You only need the final price sheet honestly, and the paper checker will try to give you grief but they don't know anything. I've done two cars since September this way. The delivery guy (trucker) does not have any...

    Worse car buying experience ever!

    Sorry to say but they probably sold your car to someone else. They did that to me in September when they figured out I couldn't pick it up in person and needed delivery.

    Worse car buying experience ever!

    I am 100% in agreement with this. My 2015 Model S delivery was amazing; they took the time to go over the vehicle with me and address any concerns. I was able to pickup in MA because they drove to NH and got me temp tags. They even handled registering the car for me; all I had to do was pickup...

    Need advice on delivery - pick up now or wait for service to fix small paint issue

    I would avoid delaying delivery any further, it would likely just make it worse.

    Dedham MA waiting room

    The lack of clear communication and status updates is what is killing it. If they were more upfront, and maybe gave more options for out of state owners to pick up their car elsewhere I think some of this could be avoided.

    Dedham MA waiting room

    No; the mfg certificate of origin will be fedexed to you in about two weeks. In the mean time, take the bill of sale to the DMV to get temp plates. When you get the certificate you can register the car.

    What to do with flooded streets? how high?

    The S/X with air suspension on very high have driven through flooded streets, but the 3 doesn't have an air suspension option yet. I'd just avoid flooded roads for many of the same reasons you wouldn't do it on an ICE.

    Home delivery or SC delivery?

    My Model X was delivered dirty inside and out, with writing on the windshield. The Model 3 I got today was mostly clean, but I wouldn't say detailed by any stretch. There's still stickers and some writing on the windshield, but the inside and outside were still clean.

    Limited power to 200kw with 50 mi left and not that cold?

    50 miles of range has never been in the green zone. Yellow at best, and at that low SoC and when cold, it will absolutely limit power. When you get into the low red, it turns off AC and maybe heat. I haven't gone that low in the winter to be sure, but in the summer it did turn off our A/C when...

    Home delivery or SC delivery?

    They basically drop off the car in a covered car carrier, drive it to your driveway and give you the keys. If you have a trade-in, they will take it from you. That's honestly about it - it's not a Tesla person doing the delivery, but a 3rd party car carrier. I've had two cars delivered, and it...

    Worse car buying experience ever!

    I agree most dealerships won't care to sell you an EV, however, the CS of any dealership, pre-sales, is still going above and beyond what the current situation is EV or not. I just hope Tesla can fix CS because in 2015 my delivery was amazing. They went over all the functions of the car with...

    Has anyone been able to add referral code to M3 non-Perf order placed prior to 10/5?

    I tried adding our M3 to the referral, but our DA told us they wouldn't allow it. We placed an order when reservations opened the first week, and then put our $2500 deposit back in September.

    We got our car today at the same time we were installing our second HPWC. Good timing! So far it seemed perfect, and compared to my Model X it looks tiny. On the X, I need to fold my mirror when driving in the garage, but the 3 seems to fit just fine as-is.

    Yeah, there are two delivery dates. The first one is when your car is delivered to the service center, the second one is when you pick up or have it delivered. The second one is a moving target... We were supposed to be delivered on Wed but never showed up. Now I'm being told to expect delivery...

    Bad delivery experience

    They should, but they don't honestly do anything. They don't even respond to emails, quite frustrating.

    Tesla is preparing some new cold weather features

    That was because he already had a small crack and he didn't clear snow when pre-heating. It simply caused it to expand - it did not cause the windshield to break in the first place.

    Dedham MA waiting room

    So it's already end of the day, and still no car. I suspect we probably weren't even loaded on a truck this morning. Why does Tesla make this so difficult? They could have driven the car to a state we could pickup and we'd be done...

    Bad delivery experience

    Call up the sales folks in a showroom. They were waay more helpful than anyone else was during my purchase. You can probably call any showroom folks and get help, I don't think it even needs to be local to you.

    Bad delivery experience

    My Model X was dirty inside and out, plus it came with sharpy writing on the windshield. I was going to drop the car off at the detailer anyway, but it still left a bad taste with the horrible delivery experience we've gone through so far.

    Unfortunately, I did not even get a choice. We were notified our car was built, and en-route to Deadham. If I had gotten a choice I'd have happily picked up at Mt. Kisco.

    Ours has been in Dedham since late October. No idea if they keep them charged or not. My Model X I think arrived with 50% battery, but it did not sit in the lot that long either.

    A month and still no title or registration papers

    I think it took me about 3 weeks to get the registration paperwork from Tesla, but this was last month. Should always have the option to get a new temp plate or extension if it's about to expire though.

    I've been waiting for a home delivery for nearly 3 weeks now. You don't want a home delivery if you can pick it up - some of us who live across the border have no choice. If we don't get our car today, it will have been 3 weeks since we sent full payment. Was told they will deliver today, but...

    Car showing undelivered, app not working, "back end bug"?

    I spent 1 month without mobile access - took a couple of calls to the service center to get someone who could get it fixed. 2 months after delivery my car still shows as undelivered on the mytesla page... Once I got in contact with the referral team, I was told there's some bug with...

    Doors stopped presenting themselves after v9

    My car is a September Mcu2 model. I tried to disable and then enable passive entry, even enabled pin to drive...still won't passively open. The weird thing is my trunk is also acting weird, where the door refuses to open at times. This all started happening after v9; not sure if a coincidence or...

    Doors stopped presenting themselves after v9

    Weird issue is that right after v9 came out, my driver's door stopped auto-presenting itself. I've tried walking up to the car with either keyfob, and double checked the setting auto-door setting is enabled. Is there another separate profile option to enable this in v9 that was not in v8?

    Hector was a complete pain to deal with for my Model X delivery back in September. He'd never respond to texts or emails. The new DA for our Model 3 has been a lot better, but we never got a choice on where to pick it up. By the time the car was built and we were notified, it was being hauled to...

    Been waiting for two weeks to get our car delivered to NH. It's a pretty ridiculous excuse that they don't have a car carrier. By now I'd expect to have the car delivered by someone at service center.

    So far, not a great buying experience

    My Model X order was nothing but a disaster and was delivered a few days late. On top of that, it took a month and lots of yelling to get Tesla to pay off my trade-in. Our Model 3 order so far has been the complete opposite, where our DA is helpful and responsive to texts and emails. I think...

    Worst Tesla Delivery experience (in my experience)

    FWIW I took delivery Sep 1st, and 2 months later my car doesn't show as delivered and my referral code is still showing pending delivery. I got tired of chasing Tesla for 2 months, so good luck.

    MX randomly wakes up and opens doors

    I will have to look; I actually tried to open the doors without carrying my keyfob with me and they wouldn't, but I will have to look around and see if the second fob is too close.
