"hot outside" window control both in car and and in app. I want to preset all 4 windows to a small opening so that when I park, I can press a button or later tell the app to crack the windows open and also to open all the way. My old Ford C-MAX can lower all four windows by fob. It was nice...

Power off button was used when I got an error after using the manual release cord for the charger lock. The Tesla Support person I called said I must wait 4 minutes after power off button for the system to fully reset, during this 4 minutes I cannot touch any controls or exit the vehicle...

I actually don't know. I'll find out this weekend after my Christmas drive up north.

Out here in the west coast we need the badge to pass the first level chain control in the winter. I can drive past all the "pedestrian RWD's" pulled over in the snow putting on chains. I suppose I can show the police/highway person the dual motor on my screen, but I definitely can't be waved...

I got mine on last Sunday at the Fremont Pop-Up Service Center after replying via website to an email. I saw them install both P (with underline) and nonP badges (no underline). Technicians also installed my license plate including changing the white plastic expanders.

Got a call yesterday from Tesla to reschedule my service appt from the Fremont Service Center to this new dedicated Model 3 Pop-Up Center (PUC). It is on Kato where the delivery experience was last month. Several notes: 1. PUC has no loaners, instead gives you Lyft credit (up to $100/day)...

Ordered from AutoAnything when they had the coupon back in end of July/early Aug. I had three emails asking to reconfirm the order with shipping delays. Got another one a few days ago. Still no mat, but the price was good.

On Saturday I observed a Tesla employee driving new cars to park in empty spaces. As soon as the guy got out that was swarmed over by people looking for a car. There weren't as much refills as people driving off for sure. I think they could have organized the refilling better since there were...

It was a sunny day in Fremont. When you sit down in a car that has been in the sun, the car with black interior just feels hotter. There is always some part of the seat in direct sunlight. Then again, I checked the app just now, my parked car shows interior temp of 130F.

I picked up a car yesterday at the delivery event. Here's what happened: Just like everyone else, I got the email late on Friday. I RSVP'd and went on Saturday. Saturday was full of confusion. There was a check in line around noon for almost an hour. This is the first time for me to see...

Got an email from delivery specialist in Fremont today offering at home delivery first week of October. reserved 3/31/16. configurable 4/18/18 ordered Blue AWD 6/28/18 config change by email to add EAP 8/12/18 delivery scheduled 9/6/18 I asked for Fremont Delivery Center and got 10/1 at...

The wait is killing me. I think my adding EAP by email killed my spot in queue. Seeing others getting their cars with a later config! pre-reveal online reservation, config 6/28 Blue AWD Aero, added EAP on 8/2 (Tesla account showing Sept-Nov). The EAP does not even show up in my Tesla account.

Here's another data point Blue/Premium Black AWD 3/31/16 web reservation before reveal 4/18/18 1st config. offer 6/28/18 AWD ordered 8/2/18 Added EAP Sept-Nov '18 Cash No VIN, Edit gone for weeks, no contact from Tesla. Called twice, both on hold for more than half hour. First to add EAP and...

I did not have a vin.

From what I understand ISA has some discretion. For example they can waive the $500 change fee.

Last night Tesla raised the prices for some of the options: color, AWD, and doc fees. I just got off the phone with Tesla and the rep told me that if you change any part of your configuration including those not having to do with the newly priced options, the new configuration gets all new...

Anyone with information on Tesla's order change process? Yesterday I contacted Tesla to add EAP to my 6/29 order of AWD Blue Aero M3 (No Vin; no edit button). I replied to the emailed form at 12:30PM yesterday. As of now, my order summary stands unchanged. I did not know about new prices...

Thanks all. I was trying to see if there may be a 3% category travel or reward card for the $2500. Tesla being savvy with Amex means that 3x points is probably out. There are some cards with 3x for transportation categories and if loosely defined, may work.

Hi! I need to charge $2500 on a credit card for my Model 3 order :) For anyone who's done it already, can you tell me which code category the charge came in? The code category will determine which credit card I use. Here are some possibilities: Vehicle service Travel and Transportation...

I agree there is some room to game this. Only those who have the ability to defer income can do it and it requires planning. Another way to do it is to get married to someone who does not make much, but that probably incurs a greater liability than the rebate you gain...

California’s Clean Air Decals | California Air Resources Board For PIHs and BVs, if your income is above the threshold, you do not get to choose. Rebate is not available. Only the decal is available. For all clean air cars, if your income is below the threshold, you can have both rebate and...

Thanks! That's good for a small pop-up camper.

Got mine too! Pre-reveal on my cell phone. In the design studio the AWD availability is mid-2018 but in my delivery estimator the AWD is late-2018. I am guessing that design studio availability is general-- first to employees and owners and the delivery estimator is specific to me. What I...

Here's a wild suggestion for a family vehicle for you: a Pacifica hybrid (plug-in) minivan. They don't look so minivan--ish, gets about 40 miles all electricity, which is probably enough for your city driving most days, gets tax credit and HOV sticker (in CA). They are way more environmental...

I have had Liberty Mutual for a few years, their rates are better than others as I shop around every year around renewal time. However the savings is becoming less and less. This year the only reason they are still cheaper than others is because I am not a new customer. LM is most competitive...

According to the user manual, once you authenticate with the card outside of the car you have 15 seconds to press the brake pedal, at which time the car starts or boot up. You don't have to put the card in the center console to drive. If 15 seconds lapse without a brake pedal press, you would...

I wonder how my situation would work.... I have a smart phone that's with me all the time except at work. My work forbids smart phones, so I just leave it in the car during the day. I would like to enable the Model 3 App on the phone, but would leaving it in the car means that my car is never...

Thanks! I am not looking to lock the NEMA14-50 since it would be inside the gate, just the car handle that would be accessible. Right now every knows that I have a charger because the car handle is sitting on the driveway outside of the gate. Once I do the trap door on the gate, it would not...

Thanks all for the helpful replies. I looked into JuiceBox and also looked at the other EVSEs out there. I also thought about what it is that really bothers me about leaving the charger handle on the driveway and how I use/not use the side yard gate. The reality is that I don't want to make...

No immediately after the Model 3 purchase.. The gate is the swing open side type. There may be other cars on the driveway so I would have to change it to the chain sliding type. I heard 10-15k all told. I can't justify it for a few minutes of hassle every day.

Thanks! I'll look into both JuiceBox and OpenEVSE.

cost of electricity. I think someone plugged in at 110v 10A will not cost me all that much, but at the larger current draw (40A) during the day when electricity cost more, my bill can go up significantly.

Hi, Long time lurker and few poster. Like everyone else I am getting ready for my Model 3. I have no garage in my house, just a driveway and a side yard with a manual gate. My plug-in hybrid stays on the driveway and I just leave my charger (110v) plugged inside the gate and the car plug...

Where's the PUP? Also for the financing it would be nice to see the amount financed. Replying to above re: refi, perhaps it would be better to reduce your withholding in the year getting the car, save it, and use it as downpay instead so you avoid any refi costs.

These would be great features for me (options or free cowbells), having 3 little ones: 1. airplane style trays for all 3 backseats. The middle one can come up from below. The side seats should be embedded in the back of the front seats. Once the tray pop out, there should be space to pop in...
