Getting a DEMO 2026 model 3 rwd, with white interior - apprx 4000 km, with no delivery fee - discount of $2500, discount of $1800 (due to mileage), referral discount of $650 (own a Tesla), and another $1000 discount (healthcare)

Almost $6k off.

Is this a good deal, the car seems in great condition.

Looking for thoughts from group if I should pull the trigger.

I originally drove the new highland generation model 3 when they came out and was super impressed with the new suspension. The ones that originally came out in 2024.

After taking delivery of the new Chinese made premium rwd version I feel the suspension isn’t as good as the previous versions, am I the only one who is feeling this? It is still a much better ride than my 2022 but not as nice as the 2024’s when they had originally come out.

Just curious if anyone else was feeling the same or if it was just me?

I’m thinking about buying a model 3 RWD premium. my question is for someone not interested in FSD, what driver assistance systems exist?

I'm coming from a vehicle that has them all including a very good lane centering and radar system. I’d rather not downgrade as I will be driving on the highway for large period too.

thanks for clarifying this for me.

I am considering a Tesla Model 3 and wondering if the $10K extra is worth it for the AWD.

Performance wise it definitely is, range is not a huge concern for me. Biggest concern (aside from the lack of CarPlay) is how RWD will do in Edmonton winters. I am retired so I don't drive as much as I used to. Any experience with RWD is winter and if it equivalent to conventional FWD car (like a Honda Civic etc).

Also, the salesperson said that since I drive at most 60 km in a day, and not every day, I could get by with a level 1 charger. Does anyone use a level 1 only?

Thanks for any advice

Anyone else see any date changes? This just happened as it has July 21-26 this morning lol. I ordered on July 5

Connected with via wifi or RS-485

My electrician is telling me that’s not allowed and I need to use some DCC or other load management system that’s not dynamic

Hi everyone,

So i am picking up a model 3 premium rwd 2026, which has 9 speakers. I consider myself picky with music (wish i could have gone with the 17 speakers).

Now, i listen to a lot of different music, and I'm trying to find the perfect sound settings (EQ and immersive). I consider myself kind of an audiophile but I do like a small emphasis on bass.

If anyone has the model 3 highland with 9 speakers and has an affinity for music, please drop your settings

We picked up our RWD M3 on Friday (June 26, 2026) and we got PPF and tint put on it from a local detailing shop in Edmonton on June 30th and pretty much immediately took it on a road trip from Edmonton to Calgary then to Canmore and finally to Emerald Lake and then back to Edmonton. Superchargers are super convenient along HW2 and from Calgary to Canmore. One thing I learnt is “Tesla Destination charger” is not the same as “Tesla super chargers” learnt that the hard way lolol

FSD Impression - it’s honestly amazing. It does almost everything perfectly.. the only complaint I have is that it does not yet dodge potholes (this is a real issue in Edmonton) and will just run over them lol from my understanding this will not be an issue in the future with a software update. I honestly might think about paying the $99/ month subscription when the trail ends.

Cabin impression - it’s super quiet from what I’m used to. I still have 2 gas powered vehicles and the M3 is sooooo quiet it’s amazing I can actually hear the music super clear. Also, pet mode is such a game changer. We took our 20lbs Bichon with us and there were times in Canmore we had to leave him in the car for a little bit (our condo was in Calgary) and having that piece of mind that he’s comfortable and the fact that I can see him from my phone is amazing. The only complaint I have and it’s probably because of my own fault tbh. But for some reason, after a long period of time of sitting in the car seat, I get lower back pain and need to re adjust myself. I don’t get lower back pains in my other vehicles.. I think I need to play around with the seating until I can find a comfortable spot to just sit in.

Exterior impression - this thing is so aerodynamic it’s mind blowing (again I’m used to gas powered vehicles where they have edges, curves, and etc).

Let me know if you have any other questions regarding the vehicle and I’ll try my best to answer them when I can.

EDIT I ended up getting a wicked rock chip on my windshield coming back to Edmonton lol

Has anyone had any luck with getting a refund on their deposit? Or even transferring their deposit to someone else? I’ve read about it but not sure if its accurate?

I am currently paying like $1300 in BC for an Accord Coupe 2017 43K kms. 33 years of driving experience.

I was quoted around $2500 for a Tesla 3 ( new ) - it was a rough estimate but is this is really that much? almost double what I am paying now.

I went through all the previous steps and ended up accepting the $7,000 offer given for my trade-in vehicle. The step on the app was completed (green check mark + "Completed").

Then I just received a message saying it's been expired after 30 days and the $7,000 value is no longer valid. I guess my question is: is this normal? Again, I definitely accepted the offer so I'm a bit confused. I messaged back inquiring about this and they said they could request a new offer but 'the updated value may differ based on current market conditions'.

I'm going to be cancelling my model 3 order as I've decided on the modely Y performance instead.
Anyone want to take it over and buy my $250 deposit? Also, does anyone know the exact process to get it done?

Considering making a change to the design of what I ordered for, I’m just wondering if I make this change would it change my registration number and ultimately delay my EDD?

I have my pick up Friday, and I am at the provide insurance step, but I can’t get insurance until they provide the bill of sale. Is this something they provide closer to the pick up date? My sales agent is totally unresponsive

I was planning to buy the wall connector but after seeing the recent price hikes, I went in to talk to a sales rep.

To my surprise, he recommended the mobile charger instead. He cited lower upfront product costs and lower installation fees, as compared to the wall connector. He said most people buy the wall connector, but if a customer comes in and speaks to a Tesla rep, they leave with a mobile connector.

Wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on this. Need a home charger soon cause I don’t like supercharging and feel like I’m ruining my battery. Thanks
