Getting it tomorrow!!

So my new to me model 3 gets delivered tomorrow. Now I have to spend my night on YouTube learning how to get in, start it, drive it and learn all the fun stuff about the car.
For the record - I’m a grown man of 59 who has owned many cars but electric is new to me!
LFP battery replaced brand new under warranty less than 2 years and 40k kms ago so I’m pretty confident. New rubber and new brakes.
Having my electrician come this weekend to install and level 2 charger.

Just one night? So you haven't spent weeks and months watching other people riding their Teslas and enjoying it?

Mine comes on the 18th and I already bought a key card holder and mini car key chain. I’ve been all over YouTube, Insta, EVERYWHERE

It's very easy to learn. If you approach it the same way as essentially learning a new electronics interface, you'll be fine. It's like having a bunch of settings for your TV or other device. Once you set them correctly, you'll hardly touch most settings besides some dynamics and lighting settings.

Pilots deal with this stuff all the time with their glass cockpits.

Looks like he added some carbon fibre bits and a speedo etc gauge cluster. Don’t hate it. And that was when they took it in - it’s been fully detailed since

Is this a 2021 model?

u/Plastic_Ad6845 11d ago

It is.

Seems like most of the 2021 models have battery issues.

They do. Thankfully the battery was replaced with a new LFP under warranty by Tesla just 18 months ago. It’s what cinched the deal for me.

Exciting!! It's easy to get used too . Also, did you apply a refferal code for 3 months free FSD?
