    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Elon Musk is taunting a Tesla short-seller after embezzlement accusations 🤣

    Supercharger - Speedway, IN

    If it's a long range Tesla of any kind you should be fine. If it's a RWD you might consider charging only to 80% overnight and quickly topping up a bit in Lebanon with a low battery.

    Bluetooth Keeps Disconnecting

    Be sure to force close the Tesla app before trying to re-pair the phone and car.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    The Tesla delivery centers are trying to move a lot of inventory now, with fewer employees, so they may have been a bit optimistic on your initial estimated delivery date. As a first timer I'm sure you're excited. Just hang in there and you'll driving in style soon. As you move from newb to...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    I was starting to wonder when the Russian disinformation machine would finally get to this little corner of the internet. Took them long enough.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    When I traded in my 2019 Model SR+, the delivery team did not even look at the car even though I had graded it excellent. I got the exact price that Tesla offered on the trade-in. Tesla's offer was better than Carvana's. Like you, there are sales tax advantages in Illinois by trading in the car...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    When someone says they won't get a Tesla because of Elon, the next question I ask them is this: "If Elon had a grabber today and the succession plan was put into place, would Tesla the company immediately stop being evil?"

    Local alignment shop in NW Chicago?

    Why not just take it to the Lisle Tesla service center?

    Tesla Annual Shareholder Meeting

    Fidelity chat support had nothing for me on Tuesday. May have to go voice if I don't see anything tomorrow.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I traded in a 2019 Model 3 SR+ for my 2024. I never put any type of PPF or ceramic on it. The paint looked as good when I traded it in as the day I took it home. Maybe because it was Multicoat Red.

    $99 FSD take rate

    Agreed. On Sunday FSD made a great 100 mile drive for me through small towns, rural roads, interstates, state highways, and suburbia with no interventions. Today it tried to drive into a semi that was coming out of a grocery store parking lot. I'm sure it will get better, but I won't be taking...

    It costs less than the Long Range if you live in California. If you live in northern states you need a set of winter wheels and tires and someone to change them out every six months and storage for the off-season set.

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    My Turo experiences have been that 80% is sufficient.

    So much so that wifey is seriously considering that color if they offer it in the Model Y refresh. Big change from her current Pearl White.

    New iPass Sticker Placement

    Mine worked on the roof glass inside as suggested by @DCGOO . I guess these things are better than the old transponders.

    New iPass Sticker Placement

    I will give that a try.

    New iPass Sticker Placement

    Checking to see if any Model 3 Highland owners in Illinois have one of the new RFID sticker iPasses, and if you had to deal with placement issues. The old transponders were flakey in EVs unless you went to a front license plate mount. I just turned in transponders and got a sticker, but haven't...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Has anyone with a Highland gotten the 2024.3.10 (FSD 12.3.3) update yet? Wifey got it on her Model Y and I'm jealous!

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Very smooth pickup today. Found my car before going inside and looked it over, panels and paint all good. A few signatures and I was on my way. Good luck to all of you still waiting, may your pickup be drama-free.

    I haven't seen any yet in the western Chicago suburbs. The first one I will see in the wild will be my own, picking up today!

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Some 22 hours from now I'll be picking up my Model 3. I went by the delivery center today to see if I could do a brief look-over, but my car was not out front and probably in a gated area in the back with a prominent No Trespassing sign that I declined to enter. 😨 For all you EOQ deliveries, I...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I typically use the Westmont IL delivery/service center, although I'm picking up my new Model 3 in Lisle (Naperville). I keep my personal financial dealings private — I just wanted to note that Tesla is not always the lowball offer.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I have a 2019 M3 SR+ with 26000 miles, and the Tesla offer was better than the Carvana offer. 🤷‍♂️

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    When the United States eliminates all corruption in weapons spending, maybe then we can talk to Ukraine about it.

    I hope that continues on Friday at my pickup. At the current price I have no intention of buying FSD.

    Did they demo FSD for you?

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Where are they getting modern chips and other electronics for all these planes? They can't even keep their domestic aviation fleet from falling apart.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    And just like that they send me the scheduling request! Picking up Friday in Lisle (Naperville) — would have preferred Westmont.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Accepted the Tesla offer on my 2019 Model 3, and my EDD changed to Mar 26 - Mar 31. So I could get it this week if they send me a delivery day selection. Curious about TMC Highland purchasers and the use of Plaid. Do you trust it? What happens if your bank does not participate?

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ Driving the battery down near 10% and just charging enough to get to the next supercharger with 10% will help cut down on charging time. My wife and I took a road trip from Chicago to Cincinnati in her MYLR, and it took the same amount of time as when we drove...

    I have the same config as you but no VIN yet. Holding EDD March 24-31. My OD was a month after yours though.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Front end of EDD pushed today, now Mar 24 - Mar 31. Would not have even checked had I not seen all you folks getting EDD updates. Being near the Chicago rail hub I expect to get the car by EOQ.

    If you’re unhappy with the communication and service with the process of purchasing a Tesla, why would you think that the insurance side of the business would be any better?

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    The car pretty much has to be there today to give the delivery team time to prep for your Wednesday pickup. I'll be surprised if you get the rug pulled out from under you.

    My LR EDD just updated to Mar 21 Mar 31! OD Feb 13. Woohoo! Except I kinda wanted April delivery, but I'll take it.
