Would also love to see deliveries start!

I recall having googled that a while back and seeing it is POSSIBLE (at least pre Highland), but you have to go into some secret programming menus to tell the car you have it. And, presumably, tell the old car it is no longer there. Sounded like more work than simple plug and play automatic...

Love your self-portrait in the driver's seat! Haha

From your message earlier today, you have (had?) the exact same EDD window I do (May 15-24). Hoping your getting the VIN is a good indicator for mine soon too!!

Are you selling your current and banking on the Tesla EDD being accurate? Hope you know those EDD dates swing wildly!

Congrats! Did you get a notification or just checked the App and saw it under "Vehicle Details" or something? My EDD currently shows yesterday (May 14) as the start. I've noticed mine don't update until 7am my time (Arizona/Cali time are the same this time of year). Wondering if your window...

Tesla also sells a Homelink module you can buy one time and it’s just a local remote that can trigger the door. That’s the route I’m gonna take myself. Personally I find the lack of it being included in a new car that’s 50k kind of silly for them to save a few bucks on.

I don't get why they're even shipping "showroom only" vehicles to the service centers as a Demo-you-can't-drive. Fill the backlog first, then worry about convincing people to make new sales by being able to sit in and touch it. I can't imagine the utter abuse a demo M3P would go through. The...

A rivet in the accelerator pedal, like the Cybertruck? Haha

Pretty much the local sales people know nothing more than the same rumors we read. But that's pretty bad they didn't at least understand the lineup of models!

Mine just changed in an interesting way. Was: May 11-25 Now: May 12-24 Was expecting the start to slip (since it was yesterday), but the end pulled up a day. Won’t believe anything until a VIN but was just an interesting change.

Their sidebar says Southern California. Which checks out for Tesla doing "close" deliveries on the early side.

My eye SUCKS admittedly for spotting.. But around 7:14 in the video, the white car in a row all by itself, is that a rear spoiler? I think I may have seen a few others around the 6:30+ point too. Putting in perspective though, I mistook Y's for 3's in a previous video even though they were...

No complaints there for me! In the end, they did me a favor delaying white interior, so they could announce the Performance while I waited. LR->P switcharoo person here.

You could get shafted together! lol. My EDD starts tomorrow, I’m expecting it’ll push back on the end date, not just day by day slip on the start. But maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. With a few people saying VINs started, that’s a leading indicator.

For those people who have said you're not only able to make the final payment, but you have made it, I'm curious.. Why the rush to hand over $50k+ to a company for something they likely haven't even built yet? Just seems like a lot of "give" on your part without any tangible benefit. Not...

Most likely yes. But 🤞 soon for real!

Kind of a shame keeping it inside and not being driven, tearing up the road! Thanks for the pics though, it does look great! Any opinion on seat comfort of the P seats vs standard?

I suspect they're gonna take lessons they're learning from the non-P's and apply it to P's. Most of the car's Exterior/Interior is pretty much the same. Stuff like LED strip alignment, etc is likely pretty common between P/non-P. Same for sound proofing. On the other hand, different...

Hope it holds up for you! Mine's holding (for now) at May 11-20 or something like that. Zero chance for the early part of the window (3 days away), but I feel the middle/end part are at least theoretically possible.

I never went there before. Although mine just says it’ll have a location once scheduled. Interesting you’ve got one.

Where are you seeing a Delivery Location? My app doesn’t show anything like that

Would definitely recommend assuming EDDs are "random dart at a dartboard" values. They change fairly often, swinging by months at a time. Once people start getting VINs, then maybe they'll be more reasonable guesses. So that first batch of people getting VINs (whenever that happens) will be...

When you say you got a date... Do you mean your app is showing "Delivery Scheduled for June 7th", or that an advisor looked on their screen and says "We think June 7th"?

EDD slipped to later for me today. Was May 4th (Yesterday) to 18th. Now May 11-25. I do appreciate the obvious honesty with the start of the window. If they day-by-day slipped the window start, it's not realistic. Delays suck, but at least it's believable being a week out for the start and...

Thanks for the clarification. Thought I heard 30 but as I didn’t do them myself, I could totally be misremembering what I heard on it.

I think you’ll find the general consensus online is to wait. EDDs swing wildly and financing terms expire in 30 days. Then you’d have to reapply.

I think there's been some reasonably good evidence they do prioritize repeat customers for earlier deliveries. In the early days of Model 3, they 100% did, even announced that those with Model S/X previously could jump the queue and get a 3 quickly. Personal opinion: It's the monkey. My EDD...

Wowza, same-day VIN and Delivery! Living near the factory clearly has some nice advantages :).

Highly suggest waiting to reapply until you get a VIN. Otherwise, could expire again, each being a hard pull on your credit.

Thanks for the info! And ouch at that nearly $450/tire. I knew they were gonna be pricier, but sheesh!

Stupid question (I have "wheel blindness" in that I see tires as round things, and that's about it).. Is there a huge difference between the 19s and 20s that it's such a talking point? From what I gather, 20's not good on snow/ice, nor dealing with potholes. As I live in Phoenix (snow/ice not...

Love hearing White Int is being delivered!

Yup, crushed it all. And yet we are all buying new again! Makes you wonder. 🤔

Damn I just figured out what Elon meant when he said "Appreciating Asset" a while back... He's APPRECIATE it if you'd let him STEAL it back from you!

I think all of us with trade-ins are getting hammered a lot by Hertz dumping so many EVs (a lot of Teslas) out of inventory into the market. Basically, supply got flooded, so prices go down for us. :-(.

I'd be surprised if it's December before any deliver for you guys. You get your vehicles from Giga Shanghai, and I remember seeing a story of a flyover showing a bunch of Model 3 Performances being loaded near a dock or something. So that must mean they've started producing and exporting them...

Guessing no VINs today, even with some Estimated Delivery Date windows starting either today/tomorrow.

That's a LOT of Tesla's you've got! I sure wouldn't bet on the start of your EDD window being accurate (2 days from now). I doubt they'd even have a schedule slot open on this short notice. Agreed though, hopefully sooooon! :).

I suspect it comes down to your tolerance to want to get back to driving more quickly, or rely on the tow truck. Personally, I threw one of the inflators with the sealant in my frunk and it just kinda lives there. I can use it to inflate tires (without the goop sealant) as they tend to lose...

Sounds like it's State-by-State differences! Georgia law must be protecting you guys from "Order Fees", or something. My contract (Arizona) shows no such deduction. Guess you guys in GA are a bit lucky!

Pretty sure it didn’t take anything off for mine. My order agreement shows 52,990 which was the website price at the time of my order. If you continue to the “place order” page, you’ll see the website does indeed add the $250 fee to the car price (currently 53,990). While not a lot in the grand...

I'm pretty sure the $250 is indeed a fee, and not a deposit. At least in Arizona. Look at your Order Agreement document, it shows underneath the subtotal line, and adds a line called "Order Fee", much like the "Destination Fee", and both are added into the"Subtotal" in order to create the...

I suspect it does not hold it up. But you could always decline the offer and then add it back once the vin is assigned, and shop around to make the final decision. Same would be true with any financing terms.

Will be very interesting to see when people start getting VINs assigned. And, of course, to see when the first deliveries start!

Haha @ them starting the date "Today". Like that's even remotely in the realm of possibility without VIN assignment or an appointment!

I just had a similar update too. About an hour ago it was Jul 4-Aug 15 as well, and now I'm May 4-May 18. Without a VIN assigned, there's almost zero chance May 4 is real (5 days away). The EDD Monkey randomizer might have just struck again!

You're definitely going to be limited to the routes the Navigation system chooses. I think (?) I heard that Tesla now has the ability to select between a few alternate routes when you tell the car your destination. But if it's a very wonky route that an algorithm would find illogical, then I...

Thanks for the info! Very glad they’re holding with honoring it!

I'd pretty much just Skip to #6. Tesla changes/plays with prices pretty frequently. Order a car at a price you're comfortable with, and then just enjoy it! Exception I'd say is if they do a MASSIVE price cut, like I think a while back they lowered S/X pricing by like $10k overnight or...
