A friend is ordering a Model 3, and started looking for installation of 240v outlet .. any recommendations please? also ball park figure on the NEMA plug install in the Draper area .. thank you!

Did anyone try Root insurance? Thanks

I do regret the fact that what was a 5k FSD package for my MR3 in Dec 2018 is now $13k. No, I do not regret the decision not to get it at that time, but just regret the price increase that Tesla is rubbing on early birds ;)

For the early buyers that helped Tesla where it reached now, the prices kept going up on and on though. What was a 6k FSD (not just EAP), is now almost 11k. And comparable vehicle price itself has come down too, owing to economies of scale. Without any sort of EAP/FSD, every new update that i...

I hope but don't see any need for Tesla to invite more $$ as China sales are expected to be significant ... Maybe if they offer AP for a price, I'd perhaps bite the bullet :-)

How different will it be from supercharging billing once they write the software effectively ..

In general, I read from posts on this thread that things get cheaper as time progresses, and that early adopters will have to pay premium - and I totally agree/get it. However, limiting the discussion scope to just the price of EAP/FSD, I believe the price certainly went up .. it was like $5k...

yea .. monthly or weekly .. but hopefully not too outrageous to discourage ... with all the wonderful long drive stories posted and how helpful FSD was, I think Tesla will have good revenue stream from this subscription service.

How about providing FSD via subscription on demand for a fixed fee per day or something like that. This way, when ppl are going to travel long distance on occasion can subscribe for the (great) value-add service for the time they need it :cool:

However much jacked up, a comparable SR+ costs $8k less than MR3 price in late 2018 or early 2019

When I see some of my friends who are getting Model 3 late in 2019 (and now in 2020 too) that includes 'Free Autopilot', I kinda keep thinking/hoping that someday Elon will give that same functionality (Enables your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically for other vehicles and...

I have a Midrange 3 (with no autopilot/fsd) and just installed this latest version, but i don't see any visualizations that are being shared by people ... is MR ignored or is it only for folks with Autopilot/fsd.

Same here .. my MR3 was delivered on 12/20 evening ... but just 4325 miles on the odo ... it's great fun to drive it but just my commute is small under 10 miles each day ...

Just washed yesterday .. almost 1 yr is my Tess ...

Tesla never advertised themselves as cheap car company, nor promised 20k cars .. they said they'll introduce 35k and they did it (almost). If a new car buyer sees the value of EV, they'll buy them, given that the average new car price nationwide today is $38k ... so, it's (almost) average...

I hope they'd reduce the FSD cost for those of us who bought vehicles in 2018 ... at that time, FSD was $5k before delivery and 6k after, but now it's $10k (3k + 7k) ... since they are giving basic autopilot for free with the newer models and still charge much less than what we paid in 2018...

EV Trip planner does not list Model 3 Mid Range :-( ABVP does show MR3

Suggestion from anyone else from even non-TX state ?

Thanks KenC for the suggestion ..abrp works ! just little crude layout but i have bookmarked it now ...

I've tried couple times to plan a trip while I'm on my computer using tesla.com/trips but I never see a Midrange Model 3 option to pick from. Mine has 264 miles and closest in the list is a Model X Standard Range, but X is different from 3. Did you guys ever run into this problem? (I tried...

In the same boat as you were a year ago, could you please share who you went with in the end?

M3s look soo naked with the plain glass all over. I wonder why Tesla didn't choose to tint at least the rear windows ! I got the Xpel XR+ and quite happy with the heat rejection. Just went on a 500 mile roadtrip roundtrip and most of the journey was in blazing afternoon and evening sun.

I see one in Aliexpress already .. here is the link

Not just the tint and windows, but both of your pictures have lot of blue tint in them.

Here is a comparison:

I like the look of white seats too but Dallas summer is killing .. the front seats are still quite visible but the rear 20% tint makes it hard to see the seats. Got it done at Tint World in The Colony. 121 & FM 423.

I don't see that blue/green cast in person, perhaps the cellphone cameras are picking that up ... They put 30% on the front and 20% on the back ... back is pretty black from outside but not limo black (5%). Kids are happy with no straight sun heat ...

Attaching the xpel xr+ tints ...

Ohh .. thanks for ur replies .. i went in thinking of getting the Suntek, but they said the Xpel XR+ (not XR) is actually $400 for 4 windows .. so ended up getting that instead of Suntek CIR .. It's blazing 100+ F here in Dallas today, but cabin feels much better with the tints.

I'm looking at doing just the 4 windows .. the quotes I received are: 1) Suntek CIR : $280 2) Apollo Ceramic: $350 3) Llumar CTX : $300 4) Xpel XR Plus: $560 I'm debating between Suntek and Llumar .. specs are comparable, but Llumar has lifetime warranty and that's what the shop says ... what...

Thank you for your response. I think I'll try the Suntek once.

Did you also consider Xpel XR Plus but got Suntek ... the quote i got for Xpel XR Plus is twice the Suntek, and am wondering if it's ok to go with Suntek. I'm just planning for the 4 side windows .. front windshield quote is 300 and that's separate.

Reading this thread for the 1st time .. at first, I thought this thread lists all the v3.0 super charging stations :-)

My driveway ... fun car to drive (unless watching the Energy screen ;))

Have: USB-C Need: micro usb Location: Dallas Willing to swap, but wondering if anyone found a cheaper alternative to $14 cable that Tesla.com sells?

I got a quote of xpel XR for the 4 windows and back glass for $500, is that much for XR? And $560 for 4 windows for xpel XR Plus. This one blocks out 66% of the solar heat and 97% of the IR heat He also gave SunTek quote .. it's $280 for the windows ... ceramic tint by Suntek, this film blocks...

I don't expect the tint to make a car getting baked in hot sun after sitting in the parking lot .. but hopefully it helps to not feel that hand skin burn while driving west in the afternoons .. even with A/C set to 72F, I can feel the hands getting that pinch feel ...

Does the front windshield tint help with Texas sun?

Nice ... where did you get the tint from? I'm in Dallas searching for a good option/price ..

So, what's the best option budgetwise and heat-rejection-wise? Also, do you all recommend the front windshield ceramic 70% tint ?

For a price of 50k (like Midrange), I think it's fair to expect that Adaptive Cruise Control will come standard, but alas Tesla bundled that feature into the basic Autopilot :-( .. I think even Honda Civic has it, but not my MR3.

Just to add my personal experience, I took delivery of Model 3 Midrange in Dec 2018. Per the MPVA, I paid $35,000 for Model 3 + $11000 for Midrange i.e. $46000 (didn't include other upgrades), but today when I configure the same vehicle, the costs is $40,000 .. So, essentially, I paid $6000...

I know it sounds like the 2 posts from me are little contradictory but I missed on quoting the conditions. In general, the prices are coming down year over year for the actual car/hardware. Model 3 prices (and options/range) have been coming down in the last 2 yrs. They could finally come out...

You are probably not following Tesla closely for the past few years .. this is a company where prices keep falling, not go up :-) And rightfully so, as their costs to produce are coming down significantly year after year, and they are able to offer same/more for less price.

I didn't buy EAP during ordering, but tried their 30 day trial .. After trial, I was offered the same EAP for $5500, I didn't take, and then I saw it jumped to $7000. Now, when I login into my account, after I saw the new rates published, this is what I see: Those 3 things you see under FSD...

Didn't get any updates in 2019 so far for my Model 3 ..

My car didn't receive any updates in 2019 so far .. neither in the app nor in the car ... I'm in Texas ... does everyone gets the 2019 updates or eventually ?

The basic autopilot really doesn't add lot of value, but FSD is what we almost got in the EAP trial version .. but if we want FSD now, then it's $11,000 as it automatically adds base autopilot as well. So, you are not at all at loss ... you paid $5k (or $7k after trial) for most FSD...
