It's 150 miles away because I live in a state that outlaws direct OEM selling of cars, and it's already been two weeks. I pick it up tomorrow (in theory).

My post was for people who get the "It's in spec" line when they bring up a misaligned lights, to give them a little ammo to fire back with as an informed customer. If that doesn't apply to you, or you get nothing of value from it, I'm not sure what to tell you other than "Ok."

There shouldn't be a reason to tear into the car for something like the light strip. It's a door alignment issue. The only thing bothering me right now is that I had to wait two weeks to take delivery on a car that I've already made a down payment on and had insured because of a separate but...

If you have to. There is no excuse for this to be waved off as an acceptable manufacturing variable. If you're financing, get the financing company involved. After all, it's their car until you pay it off. But the most effective time to do it is at delivery. Refuse delivery until it's fixed.

I just got a text to set up a new pick up time for my car, so I'm not as salty as I was when I first set out to make this post. Still, I think it might be some good information to arm yourself with if you ever find yourself in the "in spec" predicament. I keep reading about some of your...

I'm starting to regret my decision to buy. Being jerked around by the Savannah, GA location. Recap: On DD, they told me it threw an airbag sensor fault and could not deliver in that condition due to it being a safety related issue. Had to wait for part order. Latest is I spoke with a Service...

Well I'm livid. Original DD after switching to black interior was Monday, 4/29. Due to some schedule issues on their end, they asked me to reschedule. There was an opening on the Saturday before then, 4/27, so I took it. Two ubers and a rental car later, 130 miles from home, I'm at the...

I know, and I'm not kicking the dog over it or anything. I am kinda irritated this wasn't caught at the factory as part of a final systems test and inspection, though.

I saw another earlier video about the Pebble Flow and I believe you can run a line to the towing vehicle to share the battery. Plus it has its own drive wheels. I'm sure there's a reduction in range compared to a vehicle not towing anything, but I don't think it's down to 100-150 miles.

As I mentioned in one of the Model 3 Waiting Room threads, I was supposed to take delivery of a new Model 3 recently, but the car threw a fault on the driver's side airbag weight sensor as they were preparing it for delivery while I waited at the dealership. They determined that one of the...

Savannah, GA is my closest dealer location. If I went to Charlotte, it would have been twice the distance. Tesla can't do direct sales in South Carolina due to the strong car dealership lobby here. There are laws on the books prohibiting OEM sales. Good ol' boy network in play.

Welp.... original delivery date was Monday. They called me yesterday to let me know they can't deliver Monday for reasons I can't even remember right now, but they could pull it back to today if I wanted. I had to make some prior travel arrangements, but the idea of getting the car earlier made...

I made the switch last Friday, and I got the message today, so a week exactly.

I switched to black a week ago, immediately got a VIN, and delivery is set for the 29th. I'm happy to see the white interiors are coming out. I would have preferred that myself, but I'm not going to get too hung up on it. Still looking forward to my car and still plan on enjoying the hell out of it.

Your mileage may vary (no pun intended), but I got a VIN within 5 minutes of changing to black interior in the app.

I'm buying a Tesla M3 and I currently have Sirius in my other car, which I am keeping. Rather than set up a second car or do any of this extra hardware installation, my plan was to just stream Sirius to the car from my phone. Is there an advantage in sound quality to installing a receiver vs...

I switched from White interior to black. Originally, I was going with Stealth Grey, but figured if I was going spend the extra $1500 for the white interior anyway, I'd change the exterior color to black. My total sale price actually went down about $500.

So I'm a wimp. I just ordered 2 weeks ago and I can't stomach the idea of possibly going through summer without my car. I switched to black interior and immediately got a VIN. Insurance acquired, loan approved. Delivery 4/20 - 4/29.

3/30. I knew it was coming. Just had to wait for the confirmation. lol

And so it begins. My first delay. I went from May - June to June -July.

Yeah, it does sound pretty boilerplate. I'll update if my EDD is pushed out. If it's not, then the only thing I can figure is either supply chain issues or batch production for white, and that they're currently loading up the black interior inventory so they can focus primarily on white when...

My LR/SG/W/18" is still showing May - June from an OD of 3/30, so I'm not feeling really good about that sticking. I emailed my rep and asked about production delays for white interiors and how January orders are still getting pushed through August. This is their reply: "While there have been...

It's not too bad. I enjoy road tripping, and you're right about that trip back. Wouldn't mind a few Supercharging miles for my troubles as well. 👍

I have to go to Charlotte, NC to get mine, which is around 170 miles away, so I'll be scheduling PTO myself. It's a little nerve wracking when you need to give adequate notice for time off, but the dates change. So far, I'm still just showing the May - June range since I just ordered a week ago...

Best guess for now.

I'd cross everything if I could. lol. Like others have said, I'm holding out for white no matter how long it takes. I can't do a glass roof and black interior here in South Carolina in the summer. Besides, as much as I want the car sooner, this just lets me add more to the DP to get the...

LR / Stealth Grey / White / Photon OD: 3/30 ED: May - June Fingers: Crossed Toes: Also crossed 😅

Hi all. After mulling over it for a couple of years and now with the M3 refresh, I've finally ordered! I've got a May to June delivery window for my M3LR, and I can't wait! Question for the group-- when people in your circle found out you were getting a Tesla, did they do that thing where they...
