Tesla Ordering Tips - And Most Other Reasonable Things Tesla [but no more]

We have 6 different zips that we search for CA and we group them together into one channel (-ca). When you click on the link from Discord, it will use a pre-defined ZIP that may not be your zip or the zip local to the search leading to a 0 delivery fee or higher.

** It might seem misleading for sure, but that was the compromise we had to make to get a direct reservation link for the vehicle that works for everybody.

Also, we have a post in faq detailing that -

Yes, that is by Tesla’s website design. When a vehicle is no longer available, Tesla redirects you to the main inventory search page. See note at the bottom of the link/image.

If anyone wants a Model Y LRAWD, and can fork the 2500 for shipping, this one is available in Honolulu.

So it looks like that is just on new orders of the 3/Y made on/after today (Oct 15 2021).

Because I placed my order back in June, I should still get premium connectivity free for one year.

Tesla reduces premium connectivity free-period to 30 days for Model 3 and Model Y

Thanks for the cleanup, it was getting ridiculous.

OP your tool and discord are sick and you’re a hero for sharing it for free.

I wonder if Tesla would prevent a shipment back to mainland. We have seen them cancel orders being shipped across provinces in Canada and I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled something similar for vehicles in Hawaii. I’d advise against it.

Just took delivery of a Model Y Performance. Nice product as a daily. Good resale value.

Didn’t know about the Discord when I ordered a 3 SR+ in the third week of July but would have definitely used it.

Car was delivered 9/15 and permanent plates were fedexed to my house 3 weeks after delivery.

Big thanks to @ilike2breakthngs , this worked out exactly as you said.

Kept a tab open for local inventory and randomly refreshed, model 3 SR+ popped up on Wednesday, picked it up yesterday. Girl who delivered to me was shocked when I told her how I got it lol

Can you share your experience w/ FSD. Was it included with your vehicle, were you able to decline it? Did you keep it? Looks great.

Yeah it was included but I was able to remove it no problem.
First time ever driving a Tesla was taking this thing home. I’m super impressed, absolute blast to drive.

Congrats! Just curious did you opt in for lease or finance?

Financed, wanted to have the flexibility

Keep getting “unable to accept invite” when trying to use site, solution??

Just snagged a 2021 Model 3 SR+ with 5 miles on it. If ordering one like it now, the ETA is August.

I can also report success removing the FSD

there are a bunch posted today. do you plan on keeping it?

LFP battery packs will make the car slightly heavier, but it can be charged to 100% regularly vs 80-90% recommended for NCA batteries.

LFP may be better for colder climates also.

Uh, I think it’s LFP batteries do not perform as well in colder environments, which is one reason to think twice about picking one up vs a NCA battery 3 if you live in an area that gets below freezing. Though I’m not even sure you have a choice of battery anymore. Didn’t Tesla switch SR+'s all to LFP?

Yeah that article is pretty old in this context.
