    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I agree with you. At this point in time, for those who qualify for the tax credit, the Performance is amazing value, and we'll see Long Range orders get cannibalised by Performance orders. Now this could well change in the coming months as the tax credit rules change again, and we potentially...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    If you are picking up from a service center you can absolutely inspect the vehicle prior to making full payment. I've done this on 4 cars. They've never said no.

    Also don't pay for the car until you have inspected it. This is the way.

    Theories: They are prioritizing people who've bought more Teslas, this will be my fifth. They are prioritizing British people. It's just the monkey.

    Whilst you can't really delay delivery you can put your order on hold.

    That's a lot of white model 3s! Lots of white interior too. I didn't spot any performance 3s tho :(

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I had my S full PPF and ceramic coated. I also had lovely custom signature forged wheels. My warning to anyone doing this is be prepared to get next to nome of that money back if you get your car totaled. It makes losing the car so much more painful :(

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Welcome to the club. I had a refreshed 2021 S that was totaled towards the end of last year. I picked up a 2022 MYP on Dec 30th to take advantage of the discount and tax credit and to see me over till they revealed the new performance model. This will be my 5th Tesla!

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Of course not :D The 2018s came with 18" or 19" wheels. Mine are 20" TSW Nürburgrings. 20"x10" +40m offset and 20"x8.5" +40m offset.

    It's kinda funny, I've been running these new M3P tire sizes on my Model 3s since 2018.

    Ordered 4/23. Just changed from May-June to June. I did update to white interior before the price change.

    I think historically, changing your order has resulted in the price getting updated.

    Was trying to find some videos of cars with white seats, but I think all the review videos I've seen have black. Anyone seen them yet? Other than in renders?

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    On discussing with my CPA I've switched my order to Uber Red with white interior. Can get the $7500 through the business EV tax credit when I file next year. Huzzah.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Did you read my post? The reason I'm exploring this is because the disqualifying factor for the red/white configuration is the price, it being over $55k. There's nothing else that would disqualify it. So if the price cap isn't there, it would qualify. Likewise with the S (presuming the battery...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I'd love a red and white and have enquired with my CPA about purchasing the car for my LLC, which I believe would negate the cap on the price of the car. I presume I'd have to get the credit when I file rather than have it applied at PoS though.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I have a staggered set of TSW Nurburgrings that i originally bought for my 2018 M3 LR that I recently refinished and has Pilot Spot All-Seasons put on. I'm currently running those on my 2023 M3P which I'll be trading in. I'll prob run them all year, but we'll see. Don't mind the dirty car. I...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Here's a flyover of Fremont yesterday. You can see them testing some highlands. Unfortunately the delivery lot isn't full of them. There's a smaller lot that has some though.

    I am impressed with Tesla owners on this forum

    It's the model 3 owners you have to watch out for.
  26. scrapps

    Is it worth getting an M3P over the LR at basically the same price?

    That's shitty about the demo unit. Sorry! The one I'm picking up is a new inventory car. I have 50% off Michelin tires from when i complained about the tire roar on my now totaled S. So I'll just replace them with Pilot Sport All Seasons.

    Is it worth getting an M3P over the LR at basically the same price?

    I just made the plunge on a discounted Midnight Silver and Black interior M3P. It was in inventory at my closest dealer with $4,590 off. I was waiting for a Highland (whatever the performance iteration of that will be), but with no dates on when that will be I figured with the full tax credit...

    US Northwest 3 Performance tires on delivery

    I'm picking up at discounted M3P at the end of the year and I was wondering if anyone has taken delivery of one recently in the NE and can let me know what tires they came with. My wife's MYP came with the pilot sport all seasons but all my research so far just shows the summer Pirellis.

    This place is dead as a doornail - are we all just waiting for Highland?

    having just had my MSLR totaled I'm now (not so patiently) waiting for a Highland performance. Q1 is going to be a painful wait, will have to keep stealing the wife's MYP as winter on the KTM will be brutal.

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Someone lost control coming through a junction due to oil on the road and hit me in the ride when I was stationary at the light. Insurance is paying out $71k but I'm still quite a bit out of pocket after custom rims and ppf :/

    No I was stationary at a traffic light and someone spun out and hit me, wasn't even that hard.

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    My vibration and shudder under hard acceleration are no longer an issue. Unfortunately it's also resulted in the car getting totaled. Guess I'm going to wait and get a M3 Highland instead.

    I don't have the original half shafts that came with the car. They replaced them to try and fix the shudder problem.

    I have shudder under hard acceleration. They claim it's the cold grease and it should go away when warmed up. But that's different to what this thread is about. I have that too :/

    Tesla Offering Wraps and PPF

    Just want to point out that every single (non-Tesla) car I've bought in the past 10+ years has tried to sell me ppf. I'm not sure innovation is the right word here :)

    Pretty sure they also prioritized existing customers. Though there's so many now that's probably not going to be a thing.

    Model S/X Round Steering Wheel & Retrofit

    Can you be more specific? If you are taking about using the Tesla yoke it would have to go in either a Refresh (2021+) S or X. Nothing else.

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Not a software issue, but a software workaround a mechanical issue. At least that's my take. I'm glad they are doing something about it through. Not sure what @jebinc will do if he doesn't have this to complain about tho ;)

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    One of the main roads by our house has just been milled in prep for being resurfaced. It's crazy how much vibration from that comes through the accelerator pedal (I also experience the acceleration vibration).
