I am in the US, so I don't know what the used car market is like in Europe. My wife's cars have been new, but I have always bought used. Just something to keep in mind. Car forums tend to be very slanted towards the brand the forum is associated with. I have spent time on other forums for...

It's been a couple years, but I got mine soon after picking up the car so you don't have to wait. I still had temporary registration at the time. I think one of the papers Tesla provided at delivery was all they needed.

In 2018 I stayed with the car and made them aware of using it and the lift points. There weren't many Model 3s in the northern suburbs where I live. Since then I have just been using the closest places to my house. They have seen Teslas before and know how to use the key, where to find info...

I backed into a parking spot for an appointment, no issue there. I was smart and parked next to a landscaping endcap so the passenger side could not get a door ding. The parking lot was cleared out by the time I left, and the angle I approached at blocked the endcap, which had only grass in...

Personally, I find threads like this very useful for setting expectations. Yes, it is negative in this case and I can accept that not all service centers fall into the same generalization. It does, however, reflect a reality that you could very well encounter. With what happened to me at Devon...

Here is my service experience. I tried to schedule my HW3 upgrade by mobile service. It got rescheduled to my local service center. The day before the appointment I got a text that all non-tire repairs were estimated at 5+ days due to covid precautions, so I rescheduled to about a month later...

2014 GL450. I got it used a few years ago. We have three young kids, and the GL has a great third row big enough for even adults. The infotainment is archaic, but I use my phone. My only regret is maybe not holding out for a used 550, which for that generation were hard to come by back when...

This has come up several times before. IIRC these systems are patented and additionally Tesla's cameras are not optimally placed for creating that type of overall view. I think they're too upward facing to see the ground right next to the car in all places. I also have a Mercedes with this...

I had the same problem when my car was lowered by having the tire blow. The solution is pretty simple, just put a piece of 2x4 in front of the car and roll up on it to gain a little height. That should be enough to get a low profile jack under the puck.

Yes, same here. I also assumed it was due to RCS. Short messages were read allowed as a very long string of gibberish. I'm glad they're trying to bring new features like this, it just needs further updates. None of my texts were deleted, but I guess I'll turn the feature back off for now as...

This just happened to me. I was in a garage for a few days that parks two deep and moves the cars around as needed. It had definitely been moved at least once, but when I picked it up the valet informed me he couldn't get it into drive anymore. To my surprise I couldn't get it out of park...

I'm very curious about this as well. It's unclear to me how much of an improvement this really is over the current state of the car given that they didn't update the 0-60 after the last power boost. If those of us with older AWD LR become unofficial P3- cars I will do it. If it only brings...

Just discovered this yesterday, kids were jumping up and down after getting out of their car seats... Suffice it to say I was not expecting that. After they got out I gave the floor a nice open hand smack. Definitely a big metal sheet under there. I am grateful for this thread, it's rare for...

You can get an armband to hold your phone, or a wrist wallet to hold the card.

Ours was loaded with v8 when v9 had been out for a little while. It should update pretty quickly once you have it on WiFi. I assume cars are not updated between when they leave the factory and when you take delivery, so whatever software was released to the factory at the time yours was built...

, My car is basically the same. I drove by cones today and no visualization. I had mobile service out a week ago for something and had tried to also request HW3, no dice. I hope i don't have to take it to an SC when the day comes.

My wife was not all that impressed with her Mercedes SUV test drive a few years ago. She preferred a sedan. I threw out the idea of a Model 3 and within a few days she'd convinced herself. Our kids were two and four at time of delivery. The back is spacious, no hump, and they can open the...

My first thought was to dismiss this as I know for a fact, as others said, that Connected status does not mean the door opens. You have to be really close to it. However, you and OP have similar stories. Two separate owners parked close to each other, and both owners in range to be connected...

This would be nice to have. The dual zone is not particularly effective, like if one person lowers their temperature the other side can definitely feel the air from their vent get colder. Always an issue with the wife and I. I do think the ability of the system to direct airflow where you want...

I'm not an expert, but personally I'd switch it so the front and rear match. The outer diameter is roughly the same so you should be ok. We drove our Model 3 for a couple days with one winter tire. Also on our old car we blew out both tires once. At least you have a winter set to swap with...

It was a very unwelcome addition for me. It is a fact of life here that potholes go a long time before being fixed, and as I weave through them in some locations it will freak out and try to make me drive into them. It also tried to push me into the left turn lane at an intersection once.

You would be surprised what kids are capable of. My son was able to open the model 3 doors by himself when he was still 2, and usually insists on opening his door and climbing into his car seat when we go somewhere. He is probably only around the 20th percentile for height, too.

Wow I never realized that, I just had assumed based on the Model S. It looks like brake fluid and battery coolant are the only maintenance items. I guess I'll bring it in when i feel motivated enough to do so since i don't want to wait two years.

Ours is from October and feels solid. There is sometimes a rattle from near the emergency lights button. If I press on the area it stops. I'm kind of surprised I'm the only person mentioning it. I plan to have that, the misbehaving turn signal that a bunch of cars near our build date got, and...

I would guess it stems from rushing to market, and being willing/forced to accept the build quality coming off the line at the time. Sample of one obviously, but our Model 3 was delivered at the end of October. When I looked it over closely next to our Mercedes they are about equally good. I...

As fate would have it, mine went to completed the day after I posted. No check yet, but it's progress. I submitted mine sometime in November.

This is the link. It's under submitted applications. I've been stuck in "Under Review" for at least 2 months now. How soon have others heard back? Single Application for Assistance

Before the trial I had EAP available for $7,000 and FSD for additional $5,000. Once the trial started the EAP price dropped to $5,500. After the trial ended I purchased for that price. FSD option has not changed at all, it's still available to purchase for $5,000. Also I should note that I...

My card also got this error. I deleted it and added a different one, and it worked fine. First one was a MasterCard, second a Visa if it matters at all. First card also started getting rejected at other places some times for a while after this incident.

Every now and then mine displays a notification to enable Bluetooth to use phone as key, even though it's already enabled. I think I only have to restart the app to fix it, so not really a big deal.

We have a '14 GL and a Model 3. I had a reservation for the MX, which was just coming out at the time, before settling on the GL. I think it depends on how much you value the third row space, because the GL is much better in that regard, and it's probably one of the best things about the...

Yes, I'm pretty sure they've stated EAP does not require HW 3.0 upgrade, and that only those with FSD option would be entitled to it.

Everything with our purchase was extremely smooth, except the AP pricing games are eye roll inducing. To qualify for a state rebate I removed AP to bring down the purchase price with the plan to get EAP after delivery at some point. At the time they offered it for $5500 by Sept. 24, but no car...

As far as I can tell there is no income cap anymore. Previously the most populous counties were exempt anyway.

I took autopilot out of my config today to get below the threshold. Interestingly the configurator told me I could get EAP after delivery for $5,500 if I did so by 9/24. Definitely makes the effort worthwhile to save $1,250, and I like the positive (laughable?) thinking that we'll have the car...

Interesting, I had written this rebate off. The link above says it is through July 31. Does the program end at that point or will it be extended?

https://jalopnik.com/tesla-did-it-with-a-ton-of-caveats-1827285289 This is probably the negative article they are referring to in an earlier post. I feel the tone in Jalopnik depends on the author, i am fine with that. I have mixed feelings on the site, some times it's just a parade of...

Jaguar's own US site states the EPA range is 240 miles. Are you saying they posted the wrong information? If it was closer to 300 miles we would seriously consider it against a LR Model 3.

Exactly what happened to our time frame, but we are non owners in the same region.

I didn't see it mentioned yet, but these are two different cars with different interior trim. One seems more basic with piano black center cup holder and no alcantara on the door. The other has wood on part of the cup holder and alcantara on the door. Looks good. The type of stitching on the...

Yeah, that is right in line with A4, 3 series, Lexus IS, and C-class. Even the Highlander has grown quite a bit since 2005. Yours is closer in size to the RAV4 now.

Ha, I guess it could come off that way without context. The X would have been for me, and ultimately I bought a GL instead. My reservation was the victim of the "production hell" that I no longer could wait on, and that the third row on the GL is a lot more spacious. The 3 is for my wife...

This is an irrelevant poll as members of this forum are going to be well aware of the model 3 capabilities vs. Model S. To be quite honest, anyone who considered that new information was extremely uninformed, so much so that it seems almost impossible that such a person would even be aware of...

This is important. 3 bumper creases, big change? Measure X with tires

I always thought the X looked off with the 20". The bulk of the rear was too much for the small wheels. Looks perfect with 22". Hopefully the model 3 won't be the same. The car we're replacing has low profiles. Every other year one gets blown out on a pothole, so no more small side walls...

Alternative for us would be a small SUV that can fit 3 car seats somewhat reasonably. X1 or a GLC seem to be her preference, but we haven't gone on any test drives. Nothing else electric really fits the bill in that price range.

I'd be surprised if it was on the screen, you'd have to dedicate space for selector buttons which seems like a waste. The failure mode analysis would be interesting. I don't know if it's possible to even present safety critical functionally (assuming gear selection is) on that screen. The...

As a second car you can use pretty much anything with four doors as long as you have at most two kids. We had two sedans up until our second one was born, and even took the first on a weekend vacation in the IS250 because it had tinted rear windows. Only reason we're ditching it is that for...

It does seem strange at first to think of AP as a cheap hw option, but as others have said the cost is much more on the software side. An example is in the US you can add the parking assist package to a base Benz C300 for only $1090. You get 4 cameras and a top down view on your display...

I would like to be able to digitally sign all of the paper work ahead of time, have all financing already done, and go straight to the car when I get there. One signature for acceptance and as much or little time as I want to go over features. That's what I envision from the 5 minutes delivery...
