Ordering our Tesla!

[DirtyTesla]

They do apply the $250 to the purchase :) congrats. No spoilers in the comments but yes that is a great choice for a vehicle and the price is excellent!

Finally! I'm happy for you. It reminds me of the day I ordered my Model 3 SR+ back in January 2020. It was so exciting! My first brand new car in my life. I still love it every single day. Range is not an issue. The tank is full every single single morning. People do not realize how convenient this is. It is a life changer. Cost of transportation is so cheap with an EV, especially with the M3.

I remember about 3-4 years ago (before this channel existed) someone asked you over on your tech channel how close you were to owning a Tesla. You response was "I am *VERY FAR* from owning a Tesla." I don't remember exact words, but you then went on to say something about how you thought they were such a unique and awesome company but buying one wasn't even on your mind and probably would never happen. Look at you today!

I've been watching your (tech) channel since 2016 when you were making videos in your parents' attic, just realized that puts me in the first 3% of subscribers to that channel :o

Yay!!! This is so exciting, I couldn’t stop smiling the whole video. I’m so happy for you, and I agree with what you said about why you got what you got. It seems like the perfect one for this time in your life. The interior and exterior colors are a really good choice. Congratulations! I’m so excited to see the day you actually take delivery!

Super excited to finally watch this video. I’ve been watching Tailosive since 2017, and I’ve been hearing you talk about wanting a Tesla for that same amount of time. It feels like it’s been a long time coming, and it’s great to finally see you at a point where you can not only buy a Tesla, but buy it comfortably and responsibly, which I respect.

As for your exact spec, I think you guys will be really happy with the config you chose. RWD LFP Model 3 is great for the California climate, and I honestly dig the choice of a 3 over a Y. I love the Model Y, but I think there’s something to be said about going with a sedan over a CUV. It better agrees with the overall point of EVs for a sustainable future. I hope it gets built quickly, and that you guys love it. Congrats, man! 🤙🏻

Hell yeah!!! Congrats Drew, can’t wait to follow the delivery process

I bought a "mid-range" in 2018. It is basically the current standard range. If I were to do it all over again, I would've gone long range. Knowing that you're planning on doing trips, you should've definitely gone for the long range. I would only advocate standard range for those who take 1-2 trips a year. If anyone else is reading this and wants some tips on configuring their Tesla - here is what I would do today:
- Model 3 Long-Range (358 miles is perfect)
- White (included paint color) - *I have a black Model 3 and the cabin overheat protection drains my battery in the hot summer. A light color will save your battery when the sun is beating down
- Aero Wheels 100% - they look great and give you better range - plus.. if you brake one, they cost like.. $30 to replace vs if you scrape your wheels... that'd be a much steeper $
- Standard Autopilot - *I have FSD and I got in at $7000. FSD (currently) is not worth it. It's not even worth the $7000 I paid... Standard autopilot works great! Especially on road trips.

“I’ve been waiting to see this hedgehog for so freaking long”😂😂

Yesterday my order for Model Y Long Range jumped from November to March 19th. I put my order on hold.

Always get LR model. You'll be glad you did. - Owner of 3 Teslas since 2016.
You'll regret getting standard range since you're going to use it for trips...
Change to LR now for 6k more and get a May 2022 delivery date.

I bought a 2018 Model S last month despite the bonkers prices used and new cars are going for right now. The sweet spot no one knows about is four year old used Teslas. I purchased mine at PRE-PANDEMIC prices.

[chrishyde]

Ordered a Model 3 rwd in white this morning. Spent months considering and test driving, wondering about which one, but having settled all the questions as best I can, it's a big relief to just get the order in. Now the wait!

[finishstrongcycling]

Glad to have you joining the Tesla family! The wait will seem like forever, but it will be worth it!

I have a LFP M3 and I’ve had ZERO complaints. The range is more than enough for me and even the few road trips I’ve done have been super easy (thanks to superchargers). The only “disadvantage” is that my regen is weak in the winter (it gets kinda cold here and I can’t charge at home to precondition) but otherwise it’s absolutely amazing. I actually don’t know if I would want an NCA battery, I love the peace of mind that the LFP provides too much.

Welcome to the EV owners club, Drew 😄⚡

White interior on white exterior, classy max 💪

Enjoy your new ride when it arrives 😁

[grlldfsh]

I ordered the 2018 version of the Model 3 in white, just like your car, and I still LOVE it. I think you’ll enjoy it. Congratulations!

[sosaix]

I went through the same exercise as you; came in to test the Model Y, liked it, then tested the 3, LOVED it, then saw the LFP battery info and went, "Yeah, RWD Model 3 for me." Going with the silver though, and will deck it out with Rimetrix wheel covers to replace the Aero covers since they look nicer and offer even a little more range, believe it or not.

[michaelm.]

Nice! That is the same configuration I have with expected delivery next month. The white seats will be better when traveling pretty much anywhere in the Southwest in summer.

[Marksmal]

Congratulations, really happy that you purchased your car!

[hqsound]

Great reasoning on the models. I would get the same, except silver paint & black interior. Saved $1k to be spent on winter-tires, needed here in Sweden.
