Ordered on release day (a little less than 2 hours after release). Got my VIN on 5/16. Delivery location is St. Pete.

Any garage door can be hacked pretty easily to open it. I don't worry too much about that. You could have anything in my garage as there's just junk and tools in there. To get into my house you still have to get through the deadbolt and alarm. And before then I already have you on camera and...

No one would be an ass. At least, I wouldn't. I can't speak for others which is what worries me. My SC location has some pretty bad Google reviews so I don't even want to show up unannounced asking questions, piss someone off, and then they delay my car even more out of spite. Not going to...

It's not that far I guess: 45 minutes. I just worry that if I make too much noise they'll intentionally start ghosting me or even delay my delivery. Or, I could get there and find out the car isn't there and they don't know any more than that. Might as well just call them Monday.

Looks like I'm the only Floridian with a 12152 order number. I guess it's also possible that they weren't blowing smoke up my bombay when they said it was arriving 5/29: maybe mine got built early enough that it got stuffed in the back of a Model Y shipment or something. Or... they were just...

Thanks. That's certainly possible. I texted them through the app on 5/28 though and got a response about an hour later: they said my car was due at the local SC the next day (5/29) and that I "will be able to schedule delivery on 6/2". Tomorrow is 6/2 and I expect I still won't hear from them...

At this rate you may get yours before I do and I'm in the same area, ordered on release day, and have had my VIN since 5/16. They just keep pushing my window further out by 1 day every day at 10am. 😢

Started out with an EDD of May 27 - June 3 when I got my VIN. Since a few days ago it has just advanced a day every day at 10am: now at June 1 - June 8. Anyone else in FL have any news or have an actual delivery day yet? Pretty sad just watching the window advance every day and never get any...

I agree. I have no animosity toward those out west: makes sense they'd get their cars first as they are closer to the factory. What I do object to is 1 week EDDs that just continue to slide daily and not get any closer when you have a VIN and have been told the car should be at the local...

Once again at 10am eastern, EDD window lagged by one more day: now May 31 - June 7. Had my VIN since 5/16. Still walking toward the light. Still getting no closer.

Unless you are on the east coast. Then you get a one week rolling window that just moves away 1 day every day.

Bruh. A clear plastic bag that big... you couldn't avoid it? Just drove right through it??? 🤣

I just texted my SA yesterday so I don't want to be an "everyday pain"... but if anyone else contacts their SA, could you ask if there is a NEW EPA issue, or are the SCs just having an issue downloading/installing the existing fix: 2024.14.8? My SA said I should be able to schedule delivery...

I'm betting it's nothing more than some SCs not being well informed and this is old news. The cars show up with old firmware and they don't know they have to install 2024.14.8 and that it fixes the EPA issue.

Right on cue, my EDD advanced one day on both ends at 10am eastern. Now May 30 - June 6. I have a VIN so it's like being able to see your car in the distance, you're almost there, you know you are walking at the same speed... but you never get any closer. To make matters worse, I got $1100...

We have a Demon 170 at our track that keeps trying to beat Andrew of the Tesla Plaid Channel. Not even close. As usual the Demons are not pulling anywhere near the quoted 8.x times.

The above is from Is this just a SC that is not informed about the 2024.14.8 that is already out?

Oh, if you don't have a VIN that might be the reason. I never sent mine a message until after I got a VIN. I've seen messages that say they can't really check much until you get a VIN.

I usually get a reply within a couple hours but it's very abbreviated and minimally answers my question without elaborating at all. Guess I should feel lucky that I get a relevant response.

Are the SR and LR versions made on the same line and if so, do they have to retool to make them? If so, the performance variant might not be made every day of the week.

None today but we had some yesterday. Does anyone know if there's a day delay sometimes if they, for example, switch the line over to a different color or retool something?

Nah. I think the situation is better than we realize. I suspect we will all have our cars by end of July at the latest. I have a feeling the August and September dates we've been seeing are just placeholders. Maybe that happens when the line is set up for a color other than yours so they...

Got a Tesla notification that I have a message. Was thinking "This is it. I'm finally going to get a delivery appointment". Nope. Just a message that my trade-in offer expired and I have to resubmit. I did and you don't have to take the pictures again: just the beginning couple screens...

OK, here is something I'm curious about before I get my car. Someone already tested the 1/4 mile in "Standard" vs "Insane" mode and got 11.8 vs 11.0s. So my question is, is it OK to drive around all the time in insane mode or is that going to reduce the life of the battery because you are...

No. Exactly the same here... except replace "earthquakes" with "hurricanes".

I got this message I guess as a reply to my earlier question about whether my car had reached the delivery location yet. Why is this from a California number? They say my care is scheduled to arrive "here". From what I know "here" should be my local SC in Florida, right? Just wondering why I...

Thanks. I sent mine this message this morning. Hopefully they can update me on what is going on but the last time I sent a message, they gave the bare minimum information to answer my question (just replied with the delivery location). I'll update with the reply (hopefully) later. I'd just...

You're one of the FL brothers and you got your actual date? I haven't heard squat. Did you have to bug your SA to get a date? Mine still says 5/28 - 6/5 (changed from 5/27 to 5/28 this morning).

Pretty normal early on I think. I have Progressive and I warned them that my VIN is probably not going to come up in their system. She called back and said I was right: VIN is unrecognized but she said no problem as the underwriters could handle that. She quoted me about $11/mo more than my...

EDD just updated at 10am (as expected). Went from 5/27 - 6/5 to 5/28 - 6/5. The fact that it only slipped one day this time (instead of 2) may be encouraging for us FL owners. Maybe our cars are getting really close to their delivery locations?

We need a recognized disease for those of us who do have a VIN but keep getting pushed 2 more days every 2 days. I don't know what's worse: not finding land in the middle of the ocean... or seeing it but it never gets any closer. 🤣

I've been telling myself, I have a 2021 LR with AB, already a great car. So I'll get my M3P when I get it and don't get antsy. But somehow I still want to go to bed and sleep until delivery day. 🤣 I'm not good at fooling myself.

In the mean time, we early adopters will iron out the kinks so those of you with September deliveries won't have an ugly rivet right in the middle of the accelerator pedal. ;)

Thanks. I suspect yours and mine are traveling together so I don't have to bug my SA now. I'll give it a couple days and send them a message about mid-week and will let you know what they say.

I've had a VIN since 5/16 but my EDD seems to creep forward as the close end date passes. Was 5/25 - 6/3 and then once 5/26 hit, it was updated to 5/27 - 6/5. So I'm just sitting here hoping that when 5/28 hits tomorrow, they don't just creep it again and at 10am eastern time I see it change...

More likely someone may have just backed out for other reasons: financial, got a different car, etc.

That was 11.03 on the street and I believe at least the first 60 feet or so are traction limited. It should be sub-11 on a prepped track... with glue.

Yikes. I hope they don't install my steering wheel on the wrong side! 🤣

Kinda lines up with mine. Right at 10am eastern time (7am PST), mine went from 5/25 - 6/3 to 5/27 to 6/5. Since I'm in the Tampa area, I bet the truck probably goes to Tampa, then over to Orlando, then down to Miami. Not sure it would take days to do that, but the dates seem to line up north...

Same here south of Tampa. Haven't heard anything from my SA about an actual delivery day. My guess is our cars are at their delivery locations waiting for firmware and prep.

Same. Here, "all season" and "summer" are one and the same.

I filled out both the financing and trade-in offer and accepted the trade-in offer on the day of release (4/23). As of right now (5/25) they both still show completed and I've gotten no request to resubmit. I don't think it's a big deal because both were accepted in just hours the first time...

I agree. I've said this from the moment the details of the M3P was released. I was expecting a Hagerty review, CarWow drag race, and more. This whole release has been weird! There HAD to be some sort of embargo and I'm guessing maybe it's still in effect?

Do we have anyone taking delivery tomorrow?

So I'm debating when to contact my SA. My 9 day EDD started today and I was planning on giving it until Tuesday and texting to ask if my car had arrived at the delivery location yet and when I could expect to pick it up. Is that being too pushy? My EDD is May 25 (today) through June 3. Have...

Wonder if they know you: Should be on WiFi Should have at least 3 bars of signal Better to be plugged in and charging Open the controls and tap "Software" Scroll down to see "Checking for updates" If it says you are up to date, it won't check again (through the menu) for 24 hours: repeat 24...

Resistance is... FUTILE!

People in just about every other part of the world got the Model 3 refresh months before the U.S. did so, you can't have both. We "suffered in silence" as the rest of the world enjoyed the "Highland". So now it's payback time! 🤣 We get a few more horsepower in the M3P for our troubles. At...

Oh yeah... S3XY buttons. Hmm. Maybe that'd be the solution: set one up to be an insane button.

It is my understanding that sport mode holds back and doesn't give you all that is available even under the current battery conditions: it's more like a "fast chill" mode. I remember one person (maybe it was the first delivery) said sport mode was fast but was instantly faster when you switch...
