    Potential quality issue of seats

    Hey I forgot about this thread. Sorry about that. Yes they replaced them about 3 weeks ago and they are the Gen 2 with more cushion. The front seat was also replaced as well. They did a nice job and it looks and feels much better. They we're very nice about it and didn't make me feel like I was...

    Potential quality issue of seats

    Yeah. Gen 1 seats. I'll report back if they are the updated ones or not. I'm assuming they will be unless they have a stock of old seats? Not sure but I'll report back whenever they get swapped out. Knowing Tesla 4-8 weeks will be 8 - 12 lol

    Potential quality issue of seats

    I didn't bring it. They had me take pictures and send it to them. They said they were going to order me new seats but it takes 4-8 weeks. I need to follow up with them because I they've never gotten back to me but I've been too busy to find the time (new promotion, new baby etc... Lots of stuff...

    AutoPilot free trials coming!

    i do a lot of highway driving and EAP has been amazing. Soooo much better letting the car deal with the bumper to bumper nonsense. I'm waiting for my HOV stickers and EAP has made the wait a little more tolerable. Even when i get the stickers though, the HOV lane backs up pretty terribly most...

    Potential quality issue of seats

    I'm not sure if I'm nitpicking or not so I'm hoping to get feedback from the group as to how their model 3s are doing regarding the seats. I did reach out to Tesla service and they said they needed the engineering team to look into it in order to give feedback on how to proceed. That's totally...

    I was in service getting a wheel replaced due to a pot hole and they told me the camera issue should be resolved in 18.20. He didn't know when that would be released for the 3 however

    Backup camera flicker

    I dont get the flicker but i have a redish/maroon line down the middle of the picture. I dont remember it doing that on the software that i picked the car up with but the new one (2018.18.2) is doing it.

    VIN Assignment

    Yeah. They had the car parked outside the store. That was kind of annoying bc people kept asking the staff to sit in it. They obviously had to tell people it's someone's car and it's not ok display etc... That stopped pretty quick though as soon as people saw is around the car. They were really...

    ISA Communications / Scheduled Deliveries

    Configured 3/22. VIN few weeks later. Given 5/5 delivery date. Delivery pushed back until 5/8. Hope they keep that date. I no needed to move around a bunch of appointments to get it. Kind of frustrating that they seemingly don't know where there cars are in transit. I fully expect another call...

    Tint Installer Recommendation - Long Island

I don't plan on keeping this car forever like others here and have no problem getting a higher spec'd version in 2-3 years when i want to replace it. That or...

    How Many People Have You Convinced to Reserve Model 3 (☰)...?

    i convinced 3 co-workers and 2 other friends. They all reserved on day 1 with three of them doing so at the store with me before the reveal. The only catch was that i had to be the first of our group to reserve :p

    Poll Model 3 range expectation

    IMO - not really a great poll. I believe musk was very clear in that 215 was the minimum and that they were going to try and make it higher on the base model. I would not be surprised to see similar numbers to the bolt, or exceeding it. @sitter_k good friends reference. Literally what i was...

    Payment Method now on Tesla's My Tesla Page [Since Removed]

    I know a lot of people disagree with PPU, but for me it's ideal. I will charge at home 99% of the time and when i take a trip with the car a few times a year, it's cheaper to just pay the few bucks like i would with a gas station.

    Tesla makes offer to acquire Solar City

    I have solar at home which i had installed by a local vendor in 2013. I vetted Solar City and found them to be a poor option. Now, i understand that they are changing their business model to go with more financing/cash sales, but under the old model of lease/ppa i just couldn't find more value...

    Model 3 Mule Sightings

    Spaceship like controls... hint from Model 3 Design sketches?

    This Is The Model 3 Pre-Order Gift

    I couldn't see those pictures you posted. Just out of curiosity, what carrier was used to send the package? I'm just trying to see if any of my services will alert me to the item being sent to my home. I'm thinking it's likely USPS but I'm hoping for FedEx or UPS so I can track it :p. I know -...

    Possible reservation number hint on My Tesla

    When and where did you reserve? I was at the Manhasset store 3/31 and got processed a little after ten. I'm 371xxx. Maybe that will help you ballpark where you'd be. A buddy that had his processed about 30 seconds after me was 371XXX +29. He also ordered a second one which was another +34 from...

    Guesses on "token of appreciation" for line waiters tweeted by Elon Musk

    There were only ~115k - Elon said so during the announcement. We also dont know how many of those came through the web. I think its safe to assume there were less than 100K in person reservations. It was probably closer to 60-75k if you use the store reporting data that was crowd sourced...

    Delivery Expectations

    Although we do not know specifics yet, they did tell everyone the rough order of deliveries and i'm sorry to say that RHD cars are going to be last :( I'm just taking a wild guess here but i think you'd be waiting until end of 18' at best and deep into 19' at worst.
