Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
Happened to us this weekend too. My banana boat sunscreen did but my wife's fancy one did not. Mine rubbed out easily enough though with some spit and my tshirt.....
Just picked mine up Friday. Saturday a guy in a Ford F 350 pulls up next to me at a light, honks and rolls his window down and he asks if its the third tesla, we chat a little normal questions.
Sunday night my wife and I go to the movies and as we walk away, pass a group of teenagers heading...
Not just butt feel but neck feel...
I don’t have any before and after data but it’s not me getting used to it. Picked mine up Friday. Was updated on Saturday night and felt slower. Pretty sure it was it was on .3 software and now .13 but should’ve taken a picture.
Anyway not as much neck snap...
Agreed. Hopefully that is just a software update and you can turn it on/off. I do like how my current car has the indicator light on the inside of the car by the mirror too. but... thats not an easy update.
You can see the tracker full of end of March people who configured with no VINs yet but people who configured mid April already got VINs. And that’s just those that are tracked.
Shouldn’t have take my $2500 deposit then if I’m not going to make my 6 week window if my config is going elsewhere. And made my config before these new config.
Configured 4/2
MSM, Aero, EAP - still no VIN :(
maybe since all the others I'm seeing are in Fremont. I should've moved from CA after I got my M3. :confused:
I heard similar to the person I talked to at the LA auto show. Reservation holders will get emails to test drive. She said not exactly on date as she can’t release but next 1-2 months. She didn’t say anything about a touring group. I live in SoCal though so I would guess we’d get to first?
How’s the view at night through the back tint with the massively thick defrosters? My current car with thin defrosters already creates a lil double vision on headlights. Wonder if thicker is better or worse.
I hope the map doesn't always have to be up. I don't need this 99% of the time of my normal commute. I change it from the map display in my cars now. I find it distracting for everyday.
Is there AM radio? Also are the maps all downloaded into the car and just updated when at home wifi? Or is it always using data and downloading every time you drive?
I think Elon tweets didn't help. Especially the tweet about waiting until you see the real interior. Like a spaceship. Except the interior didn't really change.
Planning on driving down the California coast. Then Oncehome probably going out and running random errands all the time for my wife. She'll be happy I'll be happy. Except for how much time I'll be in the garage looking at it, cleaning it.
Same thoughts as EricUSC. Only braving the new car issues bc of the tax credit. Otherwise would wait a couple years for issues and Elon likes to add features more often than Apple refreshes products.
Nice. Thanks for the thoughts. I was thinking about doing the same before the 3 came out to make sure since I've only test drive an S for less than 30 minutes also. I've been watching Turo for a good price.
I'll try for other Bay Area stores then. I just want to take it down the coast. My first stop overnight was going to be Monterey so that store works for me!
Luckily for me I have a prehensile thumb, a wrist that rotates at least 180 degrees, and somewhat ambidextrous. I think I'll manage to be able to open this door with one hand. :D
Quarter hit - full credit
Quarter after - full credit
2 quarters after that - 50% of credit
2 quarters after that - 25% of credit
But ya doesn't matter to me either in that I believe I'll be at the latest the quarter after it hits.
Well best case would be the 200,000 to be delivered in January 2018 instead of anytime in 2017 so that full tax credit is available until end of June 2018.
Elon has mentioned in tweets before he would try to maximiaze it. This would be my guess.
But if we do hit 200k in Q4 2017 we still have...
Anyone else see these promo videos being shown in Europe? Don't think there would be many changes exterior wise like we expect.
Spy video: Tesla beginning to market Model 3 in European stores
You should have gone to "work" and reserved it then worked on the approval after. If she denied it you could've gotten a refund maybe without her knowing. I went with setting the bar with wanting the S and then when I told her about the 3 that was an easier sell after she heard the price difference.
That's just for ordering an S/X. It's like a down payment to get your car built.
Who knows if there will be an additional requirement for when you configure your 3. Most likely not and your full payment is due on delivery.
According to this, they are continentals.
Tesla — 21" Turbine Wheel and Tire Package - Grey
Not to mention there have been tons of model s owner complaints of premature tire wear at low mileage.
If it's the same on a model 3 I'll just keep it to the cheaper longer wearing all seasons for me
I'm not complaining. Trying to keep costs down so i don't mind an average tire. If it ends up terrible and wears out quickly, just replace it with what you want.
Pretty sure they will have some nicer tire on the upgraded wheel packages. $4500 for the S definitely isnt just wheels.
