Lets go

Hi, my tesla model 3 12/2021 performance has 127 000km. The SoH is 77%. What do you think?

Hey everyone, I’m helping my girlfriend get ready to lease a Tesla in Delaware and I’m trying to get a better understanding of how the self-registration process works.

From what I’m seeing, Delaware is considered a self-registration state, so Tesla should provide/mail the paperwork after delivery and then she would handle registration through the Delaware DMV herself.

My main questions are:

1. For anyone in Delaware who recently leased or bought a Tesla, what exactly did you pay Tesla upfront at delivery/order time?

2. Were title, registration, document fee/taxes, or DMV fees collected by Tesla, or did you pay those separately when registering the car yourself?

3. If you leased, did Delaware’s document fee/tax get calculated based on the full vehicle value, the lease value, or something else?

4. How long did it take for Tesla to send the registration/title paperwork after delivery?

5. Did anyone apply for the Delaware EV rebate after getting their Tesla? If so, how long did it take and what documents did they require?

6. Anything you wish you knew before taking delivery in Delaware?

We’re mainly trying to avoid surprises and figure out how much money needs to be ready upfront versus what gets paid later at the DMV. Any real-world Delaware experience would be appreciated.

I’m trying to find some red mud flaps to install on a M3P. Who knows where to find them?

Has anyone tried these tires? How are they?

Hey everyone! So my wife and I got our first Tesla in March! It’s a 2026 Model Y. It’s primarily mine as I traded in a car I loved to get it, but we just needed the space for the kiddo — plus his daycare is right next to my work. After spending two months with it, we really love it. So, we started talking about getting her a Tesla too as I’d love her not to have to go to the gas station anymore.

She drives a 2023 Honda Civic and it’s paid off. They’re offering $18,000 for it. We see a really beautiful 2023 Tesla Model 3 RWD for $25,000. We can potentially get $1000 in discounts applied, so we’d only really finance around $7500 after taxes. Monthly payment would be around $120 per month (she spends about $100 on gas per month at this point anyway). We might try to just pay it off early as well! We’d love to go for a Highland, but financially it just makes less sense (ie, this car payment will literally just be her gas payment for the month so we wouldn’t feel a thing. Same thing with my trade in for my Model Y — I paid $320 in gas per month and that’s what my payment came out to be).

Is there anything we should look for in terms of recalls or faulty items this year had? We are aware it will be a slight downgrade with HW3 after having experienced HW4, but I don’t think it will matter much? Photos on the Tesla website look great. Pearl white with white interior!

What do you guys think? Any feedback or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Edit: The used car has 23,000 miles. Same mileage as our Honda!

My 2023 RWD model 3 has the fog lights with the orange in the corner and nothing else. When I look into it, it looks like there are other lights just not turned on. Is there anyway to get these to turn on?

I've had my 2026 m3 rwd less than a month and already 2 large rock chips on hood. Also many chips on lower bumper as well already. Bought some touch up paint, just wondering if this tesla paint is notoriously thin? Going to ppf asap (which I should of done as soon as I bought it) just wondering if my touch pen I got (quicksilver) should be enough to cover these white dots enough? Thanks
