Taking Delivery of a New Tesla Model 3 Performance

I Finally Got My Tesla

I originally reserved a Tesla Model 3 on March 31, 2016.  Finally, on September 8, 2018 - 891 days later - I took delivery of my new car!  Unfortunately, Tesla is in the middle of their huge production ramp-up.  The delivery centers are not yet staffed well enough to handle the huge increase in deliveries.  So I didn't get the five-star experience that S and X owners received in years past.  All of the delivery bays were already occupied, so I got to look my car over outside in the rain.  But that's OK - I was expecting this.  I had read of these experiences and knew that this was a possibility.  Elon had tweeted that they were trying to change over to a "30-minute delivery experience" to help handle the load, and that's what I got.  So, not a big deal - but it helps to know what to expect.

So here we are with the brand new car, in the extremely wet aftermath of tropical storm Gordon.


This Model 3 Comes With Free Supercharging

For a limited time, Tesla Model 3 Performance included unlimited, free supercharging.  That offer is gone, but you can still get free, unlimited supercharging for six months.  All you need to do is to use a current owner's Tesla Referral Code before placing your order.  Here is mine, if you'd like to use it:

You can also get six months of free unlimited supercharging when ordering any Tesla Model S or Model X.  Here are my referral links for those two vehicles:

Buying a Tesla in 2019 - how the U.S. Federal Tax Credit works

Back in July 2018, Tesla sold it's 200,000th electric vehicle in the United States.  It was the first manufacturer to do so.  This began the process of phasing out the U.S Federal Tax Credit for buyers of Teslas.  It didn't immediately end - in fact, everybody who had a Tesla delivered before the first day of 2019 is still going to receive the full $7500 tax credit for their purchase (assuming they otherwise qualify).  But it's 2019 now.  What does this mean for people who want to purchase a Tesla now? January-June 2019 purchases qualify for $3750 If you purchase a Tesla between January and June 2019 (inclusive), you will qualify for a $3750 federal tax credit.  You'll qualify for this credit for each and every Tesla you purchase during this time.  It doesn't matter how many vehicles Tesla sells either - all that matters is that you accept delivery of your vehicle within these dates. July-December 2019 purchases qualify for $1875 If you purchase a Tesla betwee
