    forgot to order via referral code

    No idea. I saw someone say they had tesla merge them but I can’t confirm and personally haven’t done it myself. I would get the credits and use it before I ask them to merge it if that’s possible.

    forgot to order via referral code

    The buyer from referral will always get the $500 and FSD. However 10,000 credit depends on situation. If someone uses your referral and they are a new tesla owner, then you get 10,000 credits. If someone uses your referral and they have a tesla already, you get no credit. If you buy another...

    Can you escalate to Tesla?

    I don’t think Tesla will help, customer service on these things with logic isn’t their strong point. Keep watching inventory, longer their there more discounted it will be. I saw 1-4k discounts on inventory 3s couple days ago for Chicago.

    Buying a Used Model Y with Clean Carfax but Tesla reported damage

    Are you saving that much vs a new tesla with assumption of tax credit (if you qualify?). You know what they fixed? If it is something major, I would avoid it and buy another used or new.

    Buying a used tesla…

    You can use $7500 credit again on a new car as long as you have enough tax liability. You can get brand new RWD for same price and maybe cheaper. I would not buy that used car for 30k. With discounts on inventory cars, especially model 3s, I see 1-4K. Saw 4 k off performance. Also with tesla...

    forgot to order via referral code

    if you self refer yourself, you don’t get the credit. Best is to referral to wife’s email/new account. This is from tesla website about referrals. “If an existing owner attempts to order through a referral link (whether their own or a friend’s), they will not qualify for referral credits...

    thinking of trading in for a model 3. Insurance questions

    Shop around. When I first got my Tesla my previous insurance geico wanted a ton. Switched to State Farm with $0 comprehensive and $500 collision deductibles for $600 every 6 months. A lot of factors play a role and like you said age. I’m 38 with kids in Chicago.

    Referral Question

    from what I heard from tesla is that new referral system doesn’t allow add on anymore. Doesn’t hurt to call customer service line to ask though.

    forgot to order via referral code

    I would call tesla to try to add it. If they say no ill just cancel and reorder, you still end up $250 ahead.

    Model Y Paint Protection Film Recommendations- Chicago Area

    XTC is awesome and lots of happy customers and reviews on Facebook Tesla Chicago page. I did ceramic coat and couple panels of ppf. Super happy with the job. Alex is really good at his craft and does high quality work. I know he used to do ceramic coats for umbra back in the day.

    Illinois will have a $4,000 tax rebate starting July 1st for all electric cars? Should I cancel my order?

    I’ve been following Illinois law but there’s not too much info besides couple articles. There’s supposedly income limit and it’s really low. I picked up mine early Feb since I didn’t want to wait and I had price locked in 1k cheaper. If your delivery date is close to July, best to delay it for...

    2nd phone app user: Same Tesla account or separate?

    You can link phone to its own profile. My wife and I share my account but car knows our different profiles due to the phone. Just have to set it up.

    Picked up my Tesla in early December, worst car I've ever owned.

    Fellow Chicagoan here, I had a 2018 LR RWD so was one of the more efficient 3s. I also have short drives to work and do mostly city driving and during Chicago winter, my mileage can easily fall 50%. My average energy usage during winter (I only precondition couple minutes) is 375-400s with...

    Thoughts on a pre-owned 2018 Model-3 LR RWD

    Pay the extra for new car, new warranty, that car likely has 1 year and 20k miles left in warranty. I had 2018 RWD LR, you gain AWD, new tires (I sold my 2018 with low tread), heater pump is more efficient, HW 3 vs older 2.5 autopilot hardware, new MCU, new 12v lithium battery, likely better...

    Model 3 Delivery with AMD Ryzen [if you received one please post here]

    Ordered in Nov, received Vin in Dec, declined and put on hold. Released Jan and got a VIN in a couple of days. Released 3 VINs 154, 155, 156 due to being intel. The rumor is once you initially got a VIN and you hold and release, getting a VIN quickly was true for me. (I traded in my 2018 3 for 7...

    Model 3 Delivery with AMD Ryzen [if you received one please post here]

    M3 LR AWD delivered today. White with black interior with 18s. Flawless so far on my inspection. Way better build and quality than my 2018. Amd and new 12v. Vin 167xxx

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    I got both, they both have their pros and cons. Ultimately spouse is always right!! If you have kids and plan on it, Y is superior car. Extra head space and extra space between 1st and 2nd row is nice and trunk space really helps. Double stroller fits with ease vs playing Tetris with 3. 3 is way...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Faster and newer processor, so more future proof. MCU 1 folks had it bad in later years of MCU 2 was released and started to get phased out on certain updates. My kids watch Netflix and Disney a lot so wanted better performance on that. I had Intel without much issues on my prior 3 and current...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ordered 10/12 LR white with black interior and Aeros, placed on hold till New Years. I passed on 3 VINs (154, 155, 156) with intel since I wanted new chip and more importantly new 12v. Not in a hurry to get one since I picked up our 7 seater Y as our primary family car in Dec. Finally got my...

    Some 2022 Model Ys shipping with MCU3 (AMD Ryzen)

    Theoretically there should not be an affect. Autopilot and processing is done by HW 3.0

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Per excel, it’s a hit or miss on 158xxx, and can confirm my VIN of 158xxx is intel per my SA.

    Illinois EV Plates

    You pay transfer fee and then you have to pay renewal fee in Jan. I picked mine up in Dec, although dealing with slow Secretary of State in paper work. They just registered my Y a month later but my renewal information still shows my 3 in computers.

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    They can look it up, per my conversation they can see the chip. Model 3s just aren’t getting them besides select one I saw on this forum. I got vin for new production 3 and she looked up info and told me said Intel than Ryzen. I told them to give my vin away. The recent built Ys are getting the...

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    Agree, seems like pretty much Ys. Lucky for me it’s our secondary car and our 13 year old rav4 still chugging. I do miss the agileness of 3 compared to Y.

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    Just got my VIN for my M3LR 156xxx and delivery person who called me said it was an intel. Currently being built in Fremont with delivery date at end Jan for Chicago. She could easily check the MCU, said it’s in their computer system (for folks whose SA says they can’t). I told her to release my...

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    If you are worried about it, ask them to give up the VIN and wait for next match. I don’t think you need to cancel. The car works perfectly fine on intel, it drives amazing and maps work well. Netflix and Disney plus takes time to load, browser is terrible. But that’s big benefit right now is...

    Vendor UPDATE (IN STOCK): Be notified when LDCRS 2022/2021 Model Y Floor Mats are available! (And launch discount)

    Mine finally came in, took second try. How Amazon lost the first package I have no idea!! Well packaged, nicely made, I like how the bottom isn’t very pokey like the 3D. Can’t comment on fitment since couple more weeks before my 7 seater. But overall, I like the quality so far.

    Inaccurate Range Stressed New Owner

    Your speed is your biggest drain. Driving at 75 miles will use up a lot more energy than desired. Also wind is another strong factor in reducing mileage. EPA of Tesla’s are ideal condition and mostly Highway with fast speeds you will not reach epa at all.
