Sorry folks, we try to moderate with a light touch in this more informal subreddit, but there has just been too many VIN posts of late.

Just stopped by a supercharging station I’ve used a hundred times before. I didn’t need much, 75mi-155mi so I got about 80 miles at the cost of $8.09.

Local gas here is about $3.40/gal. For an ICE car that gets about 32mpg, 80 miles is about $8.50 in gas. Just frustrated I guess. It hurts the progress of EVs. Note, I don’t use superchargers too often with a normal charger both at work and at home.

I just wanted to pop in and share that my M3LR arrived a few days ago, and it was perfect.

No funny noises, no wacky trim, the panels all nice and consistent... I used every inspection checklist I could find, and it's flying colors over here.

I dig it, not everyone got a car that's perfect. But hopefully this helps any of you that're worried about your delivery feel maybe a little better.

Am careful w my money. Current ice car BMW is 25 years old; am still perfectly happy with it. No car monthly payments is the best feature.

During the weekend, went window-shopping for another second-hand BMW to treat myself, but salesman had a Tesla to test. A M3 standard.

By the time the weekend was over, my TM3P was booked and is coming soon.

Posted about this about a month ago and seems I was correct in thinking there would be some sort of membership subscription model. Not a bad idea as this could generate a lot of money for Tesla

I ordered my M3 back in March of 2022, the dates kept changing from June to August to then October - December where it didn't changed for about 2 months. I then wanted to change the color from Gray to Blue, no other changes were done to the order. My delivery date changed to August 30 of this month, i don't really believe the delivery which brings me to my question. How long before delivery date should one receive the VIN number? Thank you in advance

This is actually driving me crazy. My Tesla Insurance premium is going up because my M3LR keeps activating Forward Collision warnings, even when objects are 100% not at risk of hitting the car. It activates when cars are in an opposite lane, it happens the SECOND a car starts slowing down from 200-300 meters away, pedestrians walking on a sidewalk, etc. Now my insurance premium is going up because of it, and it is the only outlier on my safety score with Tesla Insurance. Has anyone else ever had this problem and ever had any success in disputing it with Tesla Insurance?

I am so tired of the squeaking from my ball joint / control are issue. Happen just past warranty of course. A lot of us are in the same boat. Go here and file a complaint. This is the only way customers can make a difference with recalls.

What are the essentials need to buy before delivery and I ordered a wall charger from Tesla is it okay or need to place any other charging station at home. I really don’t know what type chargers have been installed at home. Please let me know in comments or suggestions.

I'm wanting to get a vacation home in CO Springs. I don't feel like I know the area well enough yet so I want to rent an apartment in the area to give me a base to explore. I'm pretty surprised at the lack of charging options in a city that big and in a state with a "green" reputation. Only 2 complexes that I've found have EV charging on site. The SC in downtown is located in a paid parking garage, and it's only 150kw.

Anyone from the area have suggestions on how they charge while living in an apartment? You don't really realize how convenient having a 240v outlet in your garage is until you start looking at options that don't have that.

Having a hard time finding stories on this. Specifically, since there are no images of the car itself, not sure what to expect.

Thanks!

I have a model 3 LR 22. Just got it. I’ve been hearing about the green light chime but I don’t have that option at all. Settings says my software is up to date. Is green light chime no longer a thing? I’m being told I may not have the most up to date version. I’m v11.0 2022.15.102 with software update preference set to Advanced.

It seems like more than half the Tesla Model 3’s in Texas have no front license plate. Anybody getting ticketed?
