    Firmware 2019.12.1.2

    I am regretting installing this update so quickly. Usually I wait a few days. Learned my lesson with iOS fubars and ignored it with the Tesla. Damnit.

    Firmware 2019.12.1.2

    My autopilot and cruise were disabled this morning. No lanes or cars visualized on my screen. Tried a reboot while driving without resolution. The only thing I can think is my sensor cameras were disabled due to condensation from last nights rain? I did a hard restart when I parked at work...

    Anyone going to upgrade to FSD before March 18th?

    That was my reasoning. If I was willing to pay $4000 when it came out as per the original offerings in May 2018, then why would I pass it up for $1000 less than what it would have cost me if I prepurchased it????

    Frozen window dented chrome trim

    Did you spray behind the handle? By the hinge area? Thanks again.

    Frozen window dented chrome trim

    I just got my can from Amazon. After you sprayed it did you wipe it into the rubber? Does it causes smearing on the windows when they are lowered? Did you use it on the door handle as well? Thanks.

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    I have a RWD Model 3 with 18" Aeros. I am looking for the Nokians - either R2 or R3s. Was going to put them on my current rims and then get new rims for the spring later on. My question is, where do you guys order them from? I can't seem to find them. I would prefer to pick them up locally but...

    Observed public perception of the Model 3 being the inferior budget model coming from 2 Tesla family

    Let me back track slightly. I think you guys are correct in that Tesla is not marketing the Model 3 properly due to backlog and high demand being the main issue. I want Tesla to thrive and although the Model 3 is the little brother it is still a wonder vehicle.

    Observed public perception of the Model 3 being the inferior budget model coming from 2 Tesla family

    I don't give a crap what anyone thinks. I finally have my Tesla. Congrats to those who paid 100K for theirs. I hope they enjoy their Tesla as much as I enjoy my Model 3.

    How red is it?

    It's like, how much more red could this be? and the answer is none. None more red. Or something like that. :p

    Vendor Open Source DIY Model 3 Console Wrap Template

    Hey @Kenriko I installed the carbon fiber center console wrap this weekend. It came out great although I did mess up the middle section slightly when I was cutting between the gap of that section and the cup holder. There is a small nick in the material on the bottom right section but only...

    Picked up my M3 on Sunday without any issues

    I picked mine up yesterday Wed 5/30 in Manhasset. I had a noon pickup, walked in at 11:25 and was sitting in my car by 11:45. Smooth transaction, great staff, no complaints with the vehicle other than some wax reside between the roof and body. My recommendation is that once you get closer to...

    How many days before delivery did you receive your MVPA?

    Received mine this past Sat (5/26) and picked up my car on Wed (5/30).

    May 20th push back emails

    Have delivery date of May 30th as well. Hoping it stays that way. I assume they want to get these deliveries into this quarter. My ISA it is possible it may even move up. Although I am fine for the 30th.

    Free EAP? Did anyone else get it?

    You might want to block out your VIN # Not sure what can be done with it but better safe than sorry IMHO

    Non- Owners Invitees: Are you configuring or deferring?

    I am just going to get winter tires and RWD which from what I've read will be perfectly fine. Musk Says RWD Tesla Model 3 Surprisingly Good In Snow With Right Tires

    Non- Owners Invitees: Are you configuring or deferring?

    I originally was going to wait for the Standard Range but after crunching numbers, I could afford the LR plus I did not want to risk losing half of the Federal Tax Credit. Plus having the extra 100 miles of range will make me feel better during road trips.

    Second batch in a week!!! Friday the 13th is my lucky day.

    OK, put in my order! That was nerve wracking and exciting.

    Second batch in a week!!! Friday the 13th is my lucky day.

    So after I hit order, there will be another section?
  26. DarthO

    Second batch in a week!!! Friday the 13th is my lucky day.

    When you say configuration, do you mean the "design your Tesla" section? Because I went through each screen and there was no option for trade in. This is what I see on the final screen.

    Second batch in a week!!! Friday the 13th is my lucky day.

    Got my invite yesterday. I ordered online on 3/31 as soon as it went live. Quick question, there are no options for down payment or trade in during the final checkout on the configurator. Does that come up once the car is closer to delivery? I need to figure out the logistics of trying to get a...

    Prioritize your options offered through Tesla!

    1. Color 2. PUP 3. LR 4. EAP 5. FSD 6. AWD Long range is the deal breaker though. I commute 75 miles x 4 days a week, so I can survive on standard range. I take 1-2 200+ mile trips a year. So I am torn on that. $9000 is a lot for 100+ miles of range.

    Model 3 pricing spreadsheet

    I would think registered dealers applies to the ICE manufacturers selling EVs as Tesla is the only place that sells Tesla cars.

    What information would you want to know about Model 3?

    Will there be option for Sirius/XM radio with Premium package?

    Why are you buying a Model 3?

    Number one, I am a geek. I love tech and the model 3 is the first Tesla within my price range. Second, I drive 75 miles round trip in the metro NY area for work. The 3 has ideal range for two days of driving off a charge, plus I can drive in the HOV lane which would shave off ten minutes or so...

    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    You can get a license plate for a car you don't have yet or you are putting it on your current vehicle for now?

    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    Finally, I was able to log onto MyTesla and see my order. Phew! :D:D:D:D

    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    I am sure they are swamped. It's just a fairly long delay from order to acknowledging one was placed. I just want to know I have the option of getting one before 2019. :p
  41. DarthO

    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    I am in the same boat. All I have is a pending charge to Tesla Motors. Nothing else. I want to make sure I did not make any errors during my check out last night and be sure I have the reservation. Even though as an online order member we are probably in the bottom of the sales queue. Plus I am...

    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    I tried Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
  43. DarthO

    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    So I ordered online at 10:28 EST last night. Got the reservation message but I can't log into MyTesla other than sign in. It keeps bouncing to the order screen. I haven't received any email confirmation. My CC has a pending charge. Should I be worried?
