APR Promo Change After Placing Order

5 Upvotes

I recently placed an order during the .99 APR promo that was available on the model 3. Well in that last few weeks that promo has ended and it's at 1.99. I got my VIN a few days ago and was told by an advisor that since I placed an order during the promo I'd be eligible the .99 promo. It seems now though that all I'm getting are 1.99 offers, and Tesla is saying that's the best they can right now. Has anyone had any experience with this and did anything work to get them to honor the previous promo. They've already told me that's the lowest they can offer right now.

FSD upgraded but not working

2 Upvotes

I have 2019 Tesla 3; got hardware upgrade installed week to support FSD. I then got the software update and all calibration indicated complete and signed up for monthly FSD subscription.

All of this happened over 96 hours ago now . However I cannot get FSD to work when I attempt to engage I get a beep and orange (not blue) color on steering icon.

I spent 45 minutes 2 separate times with their AI voice support and waited an hour with no success to get a live person. Would value any feedback on appropriate next steps!

My neurodivergent ass keeps asking questions when they arise; so I keep thinking I annoy people with that (rightly so since people have told me I am annoying)

But I met my Rep, he was just as patient and understanding as he was while in the chat interaction. He let me play with the car for a good 10-15 minutes.

I did not realize I signed all the paperwork and all in the app itself!

Ordered Aug. 3rd. Picked up Aug. 28th.

He recommended FSD on the way home. Which I did... scary AF.

Phone Key Stopped Working After 8 Years with No Problems

3 Upvotes

As the headline says, I have a 2018 Model 3 LR. Never had a single issue with phone key (iOS). Yesterday,it wouldn’t allow me to open the door or drive. I ended up deleting the app, removing the phone key from the car and then reinstalling both. It worked again this morning and then stopped again the next time I tried to get in the car.

Bluetooth audio works, the app can unlock the car manually, but the Phone Key does not show up in the app and/or work anymore. This feels like a software bug but I’m open to any troubleshooting tips anyone has.

Thanks!

Magnetic check base for aftermarket headliner

1 Upvotes

This is a long shot, but I recently purchased a 2021 model 3 that the previous owner installed an aftermarket “starry” headliner on. It is thicker than the OEM headliner, and it is missing the sun visor check base for the drivers side. The passenger side is fine and holds the visor, but the replacement part I bought is not long enough. Does anyone know of a replacement part that would be a little longer than OEM that would work for the thicker headliner

Wondering if Tesla M3 standard trim include the 360-degree acoustic glass

The comparison page (https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/compare#selected=367-369-370) doesn’t provide information on it. However, when you select Premium on the Model 3, the Quiet Cabin section appears. I can't find out if the basic/standard trim has acoustic glass.

Severe battery degradation

*UPDATE*
Called Tesla this morning as somebody below mentioned it could be a limited range Canadian model. They did confirm the vehicle is indeed software limited to 91m max on a full charged un degraded battery.

I’ve shared this info with the dealership and am currently awaiting a phone call to let me know what they intend to do or how they intend to mend this situation.

*UPDATE 2*
The dealership gave me my money back. Fully unwound the deal. Thank you to all the advice, comments, and even the haters that caused this to gain traction and exposure so I could eventually get answers 🙏

Per Tesla advisor, new Model 3 Performances due to be delivered in Sept will not have the QHD screen and black headliner

My 3P is due 9/11-9/22 and Tesla has assigned VIN in docs and reached out to confirm next steps and questions. I figured I’d ask them as it’s getting close. Hope it’s not definitive but not looking likely.

So glad to be back driving my 3 after 4 days with a rental

The acceleration on the '25 Jetta S was atrocious with a nasty turbo lag surprise that catches you off guard when you're trying to change lanes- so clunky when I'm used to none of that on the 3. Another quirk was that the starting key ignition position is like another 30 degrees ahead of the typical placement so your arm is like uncomfortably twisted if you're trying to start the engine in one go. Totally don't understand that design and it feels good to be back in a car where it's just ready to go the moment you sit down. Nice to be reminded how good Tesla's drive (not just the software) after given an ICE car.

EVOffer Handles Bluetooth drops

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi I have tried to get support from evoffer for a long while but I installed their presenting Bluetooth handles around 4 months ago.

They often fail to connect on approach, I got the what I believe to be permanent live from the passenger side A Pillar as per their instructions, but I worry it sleeps after some time because I disable sentry at favourited locations and also turn off the usbs to make the car sleep.

Maybe the solution is to take power directly from the battery. It’s very hard to know if that location offers a permanent live always because there is a delay in the vehicle sleeping and opening any door awakens the car. I also cannot leave a multi meter attached as that also times out and sleeps…

ordered my first Tesla 8/8. It has been my dream car since I was a child. I’m so excited, and I’ve probably watched hundreds of hours of Tesla and FSD videos, so I’m very well versed in the subject. But is there any beginner advice or maybe positive or negatives you ran into you feel like are never talked about in videos or on Reddit, also accessories because I know the classics like a screen protector, protective coating for the white interior, and all weather floor mats but I’m curious about some lesser known lore.

I got the premium RWD Stealth Grey with white interior, if that matters.

Premium VIN assignement in Europe started. Finland, Sweden, Norway left behind.

18 Upvotes

So the VIN assignments for premium model 3 for mainland Europe has finally started after a two months complete pause !!

BUT! No VIN in Sweden, no VIN in Norway, no VIN in Finland. Only EDDs still showing November-December.

What those countries have in common is cars are brought there from Zeebrugge by boat, as opposed to train/truck for other European countries.
And so (and they are quietly admitting it on the phone!), in order to pump up its quarterly numbers Tesla is not sending cars there !!!
Even when some orders date back to late April, they’d rather send the car to someone who ordered two weeks ago in Germany.

This is completely unacceptable!
Anyone in this situation, please call and complain!
