    Indent where elbow rests

    I was wiping off some dust from the driver side door and noticed this little indentation. Hard to see in a picture, but definitely feel the depression if you run your finger along it. I've realized it's right where my left elbow rests when I'm driving. Anyone else seen this? Tried a search, but...

    Time Until Contact after Edit Button Disappears?

    Just got my first email from the Home Delivery specialist today, so I guess for me, 18 days from the disappear of the edit button / told to apply for financing and first actual contact. The only thing the message really said was "I'd highly recommend you pick up at a service center, not take...

    Time Until Contact after Edit Button Disappears?

    It does seem to very quite a bit. I see a few people getting a call within a day, a few waiting 6+ weeks. Most frequent seems to be within 1 to 2 weeks. But, mine disappeared and the apply for a loan info showed up 2 1/2 weeks ago, so I was figuring I was within a month or so of delivery, but...

    Let's talk financing rates

    I'm not sure their official stance, or if it might vary by the lender they match you with. But when I filled out the online loan application, it asks for the percent you want to put down, and I wrote in "0". But when the approved financing page showed up the next day, it showed a loan amount of...

    First Drive

    I just wanted to say how cool it is to be part of the Tesla community. I'm a 3/31 line waiter, just got asked to confirm finance details on my performance order last week. Thus far, have only sat in a Model 3 during their upstate NY tour, closest sales center is 5 hours away, rarely see a Tesla...

    Let's talk financing rates

    I applied in the evening on a Thursday, and it was late afternoon (after 4) on Monday when they reached out. Definitely slower initial contact than others, but once I did hear from someone, they were very responsive (during east coast business hours).

    Let's talk financing rates

    Got it. So I know you have to go through the mechanics to actually join to get an official approval - unlike some that will let you join after approval. But I'd bet you could get request the loan terms you want lightstream to match, and even claim it's just like 80% of a more expensive S/X that...

    Let's talk financing rates

    I'd sent them a copy of the initial order agreement, so they had mine from there already. If you were actually going to close with them, youd certainly need the final version of the MVPA. If you're just trying to get approved for the rate beat, I imagine you could give them whatever number you...

    Let's talk financing rates

    Just to add my recent experience. I'm looking to finance the full 73k of my purchase price, over 72 months. The nys tax rebate and reservation deposits are basically a wash with taxes and fees for me, and not looking to spend our of pocket what I can cheaply finance. Tesla financing was 3.65...

    P3D white interior (no performance upgrade package) VIN updates

    Short of a VIN here, but did get the prompt for the credit application this morning and the "edit" button disappearing as of this morning (performance red, no + package, white seats). I know it was still there as of 8 eastern last night, so a change sometime during the night. Excited to see any...

    May AWD/Performance Orders -- VIN / Status Thread

    I know it's a small sample size, but when I looked at the spreadsheet earlier today for "P"s with VIN assignments, the few I saw noted there all had black interiors.

    Updated account summary page: did anyone not get it?

    Mine is financing through Tesla. Although when I went to bring up the page to validate the actual verbiage for that selection, it took quite a while to load, and the payment section now gives me the "We are experiencing technical issues loading your payment details. Please try again later" which...

    Updated account summary page: did anyone not get it?

    I've still got the old screen, too... Reserved in-store 3/31/16; originally invited 3/22/18, ordered AWD on 5/23/18; switched to P on 6/27 after the price drop.

    Roll Call: Who Ordered a P-AWD without Performance Upgrade?

    It's a funny question for me, as I had "fully made up my mind" and then changed it - more than once, but finally ended up with a performance upgrade and no performance package. To me, it ended up coming down to snow tires, ironically enough. We get a decent amount of snow here in upstate NY, and...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    They were? Maybe my recollection was off on that one. I thought on the 5/20 announcement, there was no mention of brakes at all, much to chagrin of folks here. Then Ryan said, can't we get red calipera like all the other Ps, and got the no, then yes answer. Then later said, are they just painted...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    That's a bit of my point. The brakes weren't in the original 76K even, but were added later via tweet. I'm guessing when they looked at price sensitivity, they figured anyone who had bought the original P version, would stick with the fully loaded package. Sure, they might lose a few folks here...

    Will editing after June affect free internet connectivity?

    Not sure it's exactly a "pattern" but order agreements seem to be way more consistently sent out on an edit vs. an initial configuration from what I have heard (and matches my personal experience). I'd imagine there are some more things to it than that in terms of what actually triggers it to be...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    I agree with your points, for me, it's always been the oddly-specific word "calipers" that had made me question what this really included - particularly with some of the X/S history. Certainly the performance calipers only come with the 20" package, but whether it's just the calipers that are...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    Yeah, even though it's under the heading of "includes", I actually read that as simply unlocking additional items you can spend money on, but only for performance currently (in particular, the white interior and the 20" performance package), as opposed to anything actually on the vehicle itself.

    Is there a fee to change color?

    Nope, just edit design and change it. Theres a chance it sets you a bit further back in line, but no real official word on that, either. Since you ordered when red was already 1,500, no concern there either. For folks with an earlier order when red was only 1,000, they're honoring the old price...

    Any other AWD orders get a "Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement" tonight?

    Same set of deal here. Never got one on my original AWD order a month back. But when I changed to the new "base P" got it emailed to me with the confirmation, and shows up in the order screen documents, figured it was a result of some other updates to the order workflow between the original...

    Why is New York EV rebate listed as $500 instead of $2k?

    Yeah, the configurator seems to just be wrong - thread on the topic here - New York Rebate, but at the end of the day, other folks have actually gotten the full 2k as NY residents picking up at a NY store, so image you'll be good to go.

    New York Rebate

    Nothing definitive here. I do have the MVPA for the new config, which tends to lean me toward the "base price" being over 60k as it's documented there. At the same time, there's no distinction on the drive clean NY site (How the Drive Clean Rebate Works - NYSERDA), so to me that still reads...

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    I updated mine to that "base P" earlier this morning - as the price delta (between the overall drop, and the a la carte of some of the options) means I get one of those aforementioned vacations back... Personally not a huge fan of the spoiler. When I was planning for AWD, was also going to get a...

    New York Rebate

    When you say total cash price, where does that number come from? Just an odd amount, and I thought that pre-AWD the "every option" price was 59,500, so just wondering if I'm missing something, or thinking of a different line and that includes destination charges?
  26. C

    New York Rebate

    I see a few ways it could go: 1) Base price is truly the method, and all model 3s get the full 2,000. 2) If you option above 60k is any fashion, its drops to 500. 3) The way performance includes all the other options, they consider that to be a new base of 78k for that model only, and only it...

    Am I getting hosed on my insurance(Allstate)?

    My "ballpark estimate" from my Allstate guy (new york state, no accident/tickets past 5 years, also have homeowners...) was 500/6 months. Will be anxious to see the real amount when I get a VIN in a few months, but at face value, seemed about right compared to what I'm paying today.

    Upstate / Western New York Delivery

    Wondering for those of you that have gone this route, does your choice of home delivery vs. a center come up once you get a VIN and rep assigned? I completed my order recently (was waiting on AWD), and when I entered my zip code (Canandaigua), it just automatically said - we'll set you up for...

    Why are you ordering a Performance Model 3 over an AWD Model 3?

    It was a tough call for me. If I'd been able to order sat night, I'd have chosen performance just because that's what I'd been waiting for. I ended up with straight AWD instead. I had a few things play into that, discussions with current "P" owners of an X that told me it's a ton of fun, but...

    Elon says AWD and Perf orders start at end of next week!

    Just opened for me this evening. I've been checking every few hours, but actually got the email around quarter to 8 and it worked, after last checking around 6, so for me, I know the email was at least within a couple of hours of when it actually opened.

    Has ANYONE been able to complete a M3Dual order?

    Just ordered mine as well. 3/31 reservation at the Cleveland store, about 120th in line there. No configuration option a few hours ago, but got an email saying g additional options now available and all worked properly from there.

    Changes to invite priority, now only effected by date/time of reservation

    Oh, thanks for the clarification, I was thinking they had just updated your configuration. Will be interested to see how that plays out, so at this point, you're back to nothing confirmed, as if they just "undid" your prior order and put you back like you had been waiting? Did they mention how...

    Changes to invite priority, now only effected by date/time of reservation

    Based on this, does sound like any of us could go ahead and pull the trigger on what's in our configurator now, and then call and change. It sounds like the worst case is - we get the exact same priority for delivery, but at least get out of this waiting for the configurator to open for us...

    Elon says AWD and Perf orders start at end of next week!

    I think we'll probably need to get some updates to something like the tracking sheet for the folks that were successful to look for any rhyme/reason beyond what we can guess from the few posts. Nevertheless, a couple of quick questions... 1) Did you get an email that your AWD config would be...

    Model 3 Nema 14/50?

    I had reached out to my local "Tesla recommended" electrician on this last week. He said there was a meeting Tesla had with them earlier last week stating they weren't allowed to quote or recommend any power requirements for the 3. Personally, my guess is more along the "undecided" type of thing...
