If it's like the S & X you can use the voice commands to control phone calls, enter navigation destinations, and request media from the onboard streaming services.What voice commands does the M3 allow, only phone calling? No music, climate control or such?
You might get a Tesla-branded pen though!
Loaner, demo, display car who knows but it’s still a new/untitled car that is discounted off retail and qualifies for new car EV incentives.
Below are a few examples of discounted new cars with just “delivery miles” (50):

Please share your tips for planning a long trip, how do you far do you think you could stretch a MS 90D between charges? What is the best software to use in planning at trip? When using the onboard navigator what is the assumed highway speed?
Thanks for your help
How do you find these?
When I go to tesla.com it tells me there are ZERO new inventory cars, and I must build one.
But I can click on your links and see the ones that you have found...
Bonnie,Uh, sales people don't give out their own referral code because if you're in sales, you are ineligible for the referral program rewards.
To have your voice heard for lemon law, please please please leave the delivery department alone- they have enough on their plate. It's all in the service manager's hand. If they don't help in a timely fashion, just search on Linkedin on who the regional service manager is and ping them.
It was likely not their personal referral code. (And if it was, when it comes time to deliver a prize - they won't get it.)Bonnie,
You are incorrect. Our salesperson offered us a referral code. We used it.
What's your favorite Tesla model/trim to drive?
What do you think is the best Tesla model/trim in terms of reliability/quality?
How do I convince someone at Tesla to let me upgrade to Ludicrous?
No discounts at all. There is an employee leasing special, but you have to pay in full up front and get reimbursed a little bit in your paychecks.What sort of employee discount do you get if you buy a new Tesla? Or used/CPO Tesla?
DESinUS - thank you for your contributions here. It’s what makes a forum into a community.
I’m about to become an owner of a new X. What are the top 3-5 things I should look for at delivery? The checklists that are out there seem too long and cumbersome to go through, especially if many of the checklist items would be covered under warranty and don’t necessarily “have to” be identified at delivery.
I guess I’m looking for a coles notes version of a “must check” at delivery list.
Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
How much is the bonus for selling a car?
Whatever service center is closest to you is going to be your center. Use linkedin to find who RSM's are if you need to escalate. Otherwise, just ask who the service manager is at whatever center is closest to you.Thx. how do we find out who our service manager is, or does that only get assigned to us when a problem occurs?
Ceramic coat your paint immediately after taking delivery. It'll help lessen the problem.If you want a non-metallic black to really look good, you should resign yourself to paint correction from a professional detailer immediately after delivery. Tesla or not.
Delivery doesn't get bonuses really. It's $5 per car delivered. Sales can rake in the cash if they hit certain numbers of certain cars. Honestly, they don't make much unless they're at the tippity top sales person. It sucks to say, but Tesla really allures prospective employees w/promises of huge payouts, but they constantly change the metrics, making it extremely difficult to hit bonuses.
@DESinUS
My model s order was confirmed 6/8. Am I going to miss the quarter end, and thus end up waiting forever for my car, or does production still continue for US customers as we go into July? Do they group production? How does that work?
Do you, when delivering a car to the owner, explain to them that the car is not an "Autonomous Car" and that it doesn't drive itself in that sense and Autopilot is actually a driving assistance?
(I think many owners and the general public actually has a misinformed idea that Autopilot means the car drives itself, because it seemingly to them does, and they also seem to think Autopilot in aircrafts mean the plane flies itself, which it also technically not true.)
Does Tesla have a policy where they require you to let the owners know at delivery that they need to remain attentive when using Autopilot?Because there are those who come here claiming they don't know, didn't read manual, and somehow didn't read the message in front of them when activating Autosteer. And then there are those who think Autopilot is at fault because it doesn't allow you to be less attentive.
Thanks!
It depends on your feelings towards the mission vs. your feelings towards your bank account. You'll work endless hours with little bonus incentives. The luster of it wears off after a while. They pound into your brain that you're a part of something epic and special, but they don't pay too well in my honest opinion. You'd make more selling Toyotas.Is it a great place to work? Always wondered what it would be like to work for Tesla.
