Who says values are dropping? I’ve been looking and nothing seems to have dropped - the 2021 M3 are going for same price as early 2024

This is bad for several reason. #1 being safety, I do not want to put my family in a car in road trip in a Tesla w 120k miles lol Run into ground isnt always the best play No thanks

The new 2024 highland has really good lease rates. Trust me I just got a check for $7,400 for “positive equity” after leasing the 2024 M3 base model , I had it 3 months and put $0 down The previous model 3 (2023 and older) leases were garbage, but they’re artificially increasing residual...

I got my highland M3 in Feb of 2024. I had the steering wheel replaced twice in the 3 months I had the car. The left turn button would stop working intermittently. 2nd steering wheel had to be replaced bc the auto pilot button stopped working. The alignment had to be adjusted. The...

I leased a new 2024 m3 in Feb 2024, I got the point of sale rebate $7500 on it at the time of lease. It was factored into my payment. Last week , I got rear ended by an idiot - my car was totaled. The other driver was found 100% at fault and his insurance is in process of paying off my...

I’m in the market to buy/lease a new M3. At first, I was thinking to buy used 2022 m3 and take advantage of the 4k EV credit, so maybe I buy for 25k + 3k taxes and fees -4k rebate = 24k for a used 2022 / 2021 model 3. Let’s assume I pay cash, drive 15k miles per year and sell the car at end...

Let me do you a big favor: Do NOT put a down payment on the lease ($2,999). Always put $0 down payment on ANY lease you do in your life. Thank me later

Leased a new 2024 Highland Model 3 recently , waited about 2 months to take delivery of the car. Loved the car, all the new updated features are well worth it, vs my previous 2021 m3. 2 days ago, someone decided they wanted to shave 3 seconds off their afternoon commute and slam into the rear...

My 2024 M3 highland refresh was slammed into left rear by speeding pickup truck driver- who is 100% at fault and we have video. My 2024 m3 was leased and I put $0 down payment, but I did pay some $$ towards taxes, dealer fee , title tag etc. Question: how does it work when leased car is...

Today, my wife was driving the car with my daughter and as traffic came to a slow down in a 45 mph zone, a pickup truck driver abruptly changed lanes and slammed into the left rear corner of my new 2024 Model 3 Highland. We have it on video and it clearly shows the other guy is at fault. I...

On any lease, it is generally best practice to put as close to $0 down payment as possible. By putting a down payment, all you are doing is “pre - paying” (cap cost reduction) for a % of the total lease cost up front. This is a Big mistake bc of 4 reasons: 1. If your car is total loss in...

Pretty simple - they want to replace the steering wheel. I took it in for this issue 4 weeks ago. They said no mobile service allowed due to them having to perform voltage tests. So, I took it in for service (3rd time on this 45 day old car) .... I waited 2 hours while they worked on my car...

Yes it’s indeed, very small - disappointing!

I’m open to this, but the amount of time I have wasted on this issue is ridiculous. I wasted a solid 30-40 hours over a simple tint job. Not to mention 4 trips to and from tint shop. The last thing I want to do is offer them any sort of convenience

Got a brand new 2024 M3 back in Feb. Used the heater for several weeks and all worked fine, just like my old 2021 M3. Warm/Hot air came on almost immediately when temp was set to 75 or 77. Never an issue in 2 prior model 3s I’ve owned. That changed recently… About 2 weeks ago, let’s say...

Update: I have formally requested a charge back from my CC. I have sent them about 10 pictures along with pretty much what I have said in OP. They said charge back claims take 30-60 days to resolve. One thing they bothers me is, the CC company may contact the tint shop, and the tint shop...

In talking to the people at this shop, everyone has been rude to me so far. After having argued with them on the phone, do you think it's safe for me to leave my car in their shop (where I cannot see it) for 2 hours? They have already caused some light damage to my car - near the back brake...

Update: I called the shop 3 times the day after the 2nd install. No response. I left 2 messages for owner to call me back. I called a 4th time yesterday and left another message asking to speak to owner about a refund. I got a call today from the front desk lady and she explained they will...

Thanks for sharing I do not have issues like that. I have little white “spots” on the tint in almost every window of the car. It looks like this , see attached. From what I’ve heard, it’s from a dust particle that is caught between glass and the tint, causing an air bubble.

Yes I did pay with credit card, even though they suggested I pay cash for a $20 discount. I brought cash with me to pay them - but after seeing the shoddy work, I changed my mind and pulled out my credit card last second And I was thinking to do the charge back as well.. But first, was...

Part 2 Yesterday, after 4 cancellations, I finally dropped off my car to the shop. The manager said he would be there and would personally oversee the process of re doing my tint When I called before the drop off yesterday morning (to make sure it’s not cancelled AGAIN) I was told the...

Part 1 2 weeks ago, I took my brand new 2024 Model 3 to a local shop to get windows and back tinted. I used this shop 3 years ago for my 21 model 3 and I remember the job was done well, so I took it back there again for the new car. I dropped my car off for 3 hrs and when I went to pickup, I...

Got some new accessories for the new 2024 model 3 highland. All weather floor mats - I really like these vs carpet floor mats due to how easy they are to clean and I find the carpet smells after a few years. Mats fit well and snug. Console Organizers - these are really cool and add a nice...

Get 18 OEM wheels if you have 19s currently. 18s with widest possible width Tires that fit will improve the ride quality

Picked up brand new 2024 m3 couple weeks ago. Immediately noticed car pulls right as I drove home from Tesla. Tested on streets plus highway. Small but noticeably pulling to right. Called SA and they advised service appointment, which wasn’t available for another 10+ days. No cost service...

First impressions: 1. The car rides much smoother than my 21 M3 SR. Suspension is much better. Handling is the same yet ride is more cushioned. Perfect imo. 2. My car gently veers to the right. Noticed this on drive home but thought maybe it was in my head. So, made a few local trips and...

Just got it, got a text at 7:00 am, saying there is a message from Tesla Advisor and to go check on Tesla app. I saw the attached message and when I click on “view” - nothing happens, it just takes me back to main order screen and shows RN #. It doesn’t show VIN on that main screen. But when...

Got a message in Tesla app “there are changes that impact your order” I clicked through and found a disclaimer about Tesla Vision, I had to accept. Then, it asked me to upload insurance ID. Did all that. After that my EDD changed to Feb 12 - Feb 19. (Before this, it was Feb 10-20.)...

19 inch wheels on ANY car will result in a more rough / stiffer ride than 18 inch wheels (on standard factory tires) Doesn’t matter what suspension a car has, above will be true for all.

I just got the Tesla trade in offer and declined it. After doing that, I noticed there was now a new card asking me to make final payment. This card wasn’t there before today. I made the final payment just now. Curious, does the VIN only get assigned AFTER you make the final payment in the app?

I have a "trade-in offer pending" message for the past 3 days now. Question: do you guys think this will cause a hold-up on my delivery date, waiting on them to give an offer on my trade in? Order Date: 1/10 No VIN EDD: Feb 7 - Feb 20

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus. Please add to the discussion here.

EDD updated today: Feb 6 - Feb 20. But, yesterday, I changed something. I clicked on trade-in and added my current M3 to trade-in. I'm not sure if I will trade it in, but I wanted to just get an offer at least to see if it's reasonable vs selling it privately. So, after making this...

I decided to go with the Highland. 1. I don't "need" Performance speed, my current RWD 21 M3 is totally fine in terms of acceleration and being able to over-take most any other car on highway. 2. The comfort of the suspension is a huge thing for me (family is in car often with me), plus I...

Good question, been wondering this myself. I’m curious how the RWD “premium” interior is different than LR

This thread reminds me of that famous experiment they did on kids. They put kids in a room with candy on the table in front of the kid and asked the kids NOT to eat the candy & left them alone in the room for a while - if they do not eat it, they get a prize later plus the candy , they were...

EDD updated today: Feb 5 - Feb 19 Order date: 1-10-24

.004420 MF for a 36 month lease, 15k miles per year This is for Standard Range This is what my app shows

I was sent a txt today from Tesla asking to complete my financing task in order to continue with delivery. I was planning to wait till after VIN is assigned prior to submitting the Tesla lease application. But, I went ahead and did it today since they asked lol Maybe it means we are close !

Out of curiosity, where did you get those numbers from? MF and Res

Just checked my app after seeing posts above , sweet!

Spoke to a manager at Tesla showroom near me today in SoCal. He said Highland should start going out for delivery as early as Jan 25th.

This is sort of what I’m leaning towards also…as this is also a car that is used with family often and that means comfort > performance

Floor Mats and center console would be something I would consider for sure
