    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I gotta think they are working up the coast, furthest to closest this week. I've waxed on about being patient and today I am having to take my own medicine. My 4/27 OD still sits with no VIN but I am doing my best to keep the faith that its going to happen this week. My earlier guess for VIN was...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That's too bad, you were probably a few days away from an updated EDD and a VIN. Best case scenario, you get what you want, don't have to wait. I just hope somewhere down the road you don't regret the choice to go full baller with the M3P.

    We are just gonna go ahead and not tell my wife that little snippet of information. I wonder if it’s battery sourcing leniency or if they are going to start putting the Panasonic into the LR?

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I find it interesting that people still get upset about later orders getting cars before them. Tesla is publicly traded and their responsibility is to their shareholders to maximize profits. While it may not be “fair” to give a recent order a VIN when earlier orders are unfulfilled, it is...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    It’s kind of interesting, it really seems like they are sending out VINs as far away as they can deliver by end of month and then walking them back closer and closer to Fremont. A few days ago there was some Midwest and East Coast VINs, the last couple days were PNW and AZ, my guess is a whole...

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but…you have about 9,421 posts to get caught up on! Welcome to the thread and get reading!! In all seriousness, welcome and congrats on your future whip!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I agree on the push. I keep thinking of the SA telling me it had an expected build date of 6/18. So I’m hoping to see a VIN on or about that day and delivery on the front end of the EDD. Also half expecting none of that to happen and I get to continue watching late May orders take delivery. It’s...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    EDD changed from 6/13-6/27 and is now 6/20-6/30. Narrowed a bit and the long end slightly pushed back. Curious if you other CA folks with similar EDDs got the same treatment?

    Definitely more cars this week!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Hmm that is two PNW, both in White/Black. Once is by chance, twice is a coincidence, can we get “three times” to show a pattern? Either way I think this is good news for those EDDs on the west coast before the end of the month. Definitely good news for you guys, congrats!! Stoked for you!!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Same. Very curious to see how the next two weeks shake out. Last time I stopped by my local service center the SA said he saw an estimated build date of approx 6/18 and that would fit in the timeline. I think that has a 51% chance of playing out. The other 49% is evil monkey strikes again and a...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I see this as a positive development. The back end didn't move and the window tightened. Being in the Bay Area you could get a VIN on the 25th and still take delivery before end of Q2. Or the evil EDD monkey could strike again.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    But, but, but your EDD was at one time July-August. How could this be? Is the sky not falling? VINs are simply a construct of the mind! 😱

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Reason I asked is that there are a number of West Coasters that had a similar change to EDD later last week. A few here have surmised that there is a chance that Tesla will try and fill the more local orders before the end of Q2. Good luck to you, keep us updated if it changes and be sure to add...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That will likely change on Tuesday around 7a local time. Probably slide back 6-7 days. Are you West Coast?

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I think the earlier theory of getting some of the far away early adopters taken care of and then as the quarter wraps up they are going to bombard the west coast for rapid deliveries is playing out. That’s four very similar EDD changes, all California orders. It’s going down before June is up. I...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    My EDD was pushed back 6 days, was 6/7-6/21, now it’s 6/13-6/27. Not tightened, still a two week window. Ordered 4/27 in CenCal.

    I mean it could be as simple as they had a few trains leave this morning and cleared out the lot. EDDs are tightening and people are getting cars. Saul Goodman!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That was very similar to my exchange the other day. Guy showed me his screen that had an expected build date and expected delivery date. He said it was somewhat speculative until a VIN is assigned but there system did have expected dates that he shared. Now I also had a similar interaction a...

    Are you sure the location 40 miles from you handles deliveries? My local store is 20 miles away but are not doing deliveries yet as they are less than a year old. Im having to drive 140 miles to my pickup location. It may be worth a drive to the local place though, I got that same runaround...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That’s my same EDD. I went into the local SC yesterday and the guy showed me the expected build date of 6/18, with a delivery on 6/20. He gave me the “currently no VIN, not guaranteed” caveat. But at least it’s something. Guy was super knowledgeable and normally works at my original delivery...

    That’s my experience. Out of college I had a little 325ci and was heading down the 405 to visit family in OC. CHP did not like that I passed him on the left while going the speed limit at night. Cited the lack of plate and “aggressive driving” as the reason he pulled me. Basically he went...

    In CA we also have the option to do a PPF style sticker for the front license plate. You can only order it to mirror your traditional plate. Not sure if it’s a great option, but I’m sure some will think it’s better than the traditional options. https://licenseplatewrap.com/ Me, I plan to roll...

    You don’t have to go in and act like an ass. There is nothing wrong with being assertive and simply asking for some clarity. If I were you I’d show up right when they open and seek some answers. That way they are fresh and have a full shift to get annoyed by truly awful people.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I really don’t understand how you haven’t headed to the local place and find out what the heck is going on. Is it far from you? To be stuck in an eternal back slide has got to be frustrating. Raise some hell!!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    My wife was the opposite, after few pedal down launches she wanted to test out the back seat. Only problem was this wasn’t our first rodeo and our damn 6 year old was in the back in his booster seat yelling about the GD YouTube.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    No VIN and I’m still getting excited. Got sorted with my tint/PPF guy and he’s going to get me some protection for the 1.5 hours from the delivery site to his shop. Then I’ve got all the gear to start taking detailing seriously and I’m going to ceramic coat it top to bottom. Going to be fun!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Heck, I'm White/Black, ordered 4/27 and live in CA three hours from Fremont. No VIN here. There may be some CA bias, but they ship them everywhere. Stoked for you guys(& perhaps gals), please do share once delivered!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Hoping to use this as a good sign. Ordered 4/27, somewhat similar EDD history and have a current of 6/7-6/21. Also in CA and dammit, it’s my birthday!!

    Went down and watched the SpaceX launch yesterday (it’s about an hour south of me). On the way home I saw two semis full of Teslas. Mostly MY but definitely saw a couple M3Ps heading south on 101. Stay strong people and go watch a SpaceX launch if you can, so friggen cool!

    For the love of all things holy…IT MEANS NOTHING!! It can and will change 3-6 times before anyone gets their car. It will move back and forth more times than Austin Powers executing a 3 point turn.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I’ve got the same order date, same colors but I’m in CA. A week ago I went from a May/June to Jul 11-Aug 22 and it remains there. Oh $#!+, I just double checked and it changed to June 7-21. Still no VIN. Stay tuned?

    Reviving this topic from yesterday…I found this lurking in the background of a pic that I believe is from China. So like many things on this thread, take it with a grain of salt.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    But basing anything on an early EDD is a fool’s errand. I’m sure his EDD will change 4+ times before he actually has a car. It will change to August and beyond and then will reel back in as a VIN nears. But telling someone to get in line and telling them how to feel is not real friendly. We...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah, I don’t think that’s a thing. Mine updated a week before my EDD window opened. The most plausible explanation is a cruel drunk monkey that likes to do random $#!+ all the time. Sometimes that randomness shows some form of synchronicity or repetitiveness, but in the end it’s just a drunk...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Well that is encouraging for a fellow west coaster with a 4/27 order date. Albeit a completely different configuration, but I’ll take this as good news. Got my wall connector installed yesterday. Ordered some black out emblems for front/back. Anyone else going the storm trooper look on a...

    If you go to the registration tab of your delivery tasks and select “View”, you should be able to scroll to the very bottom and see the delivery location. I had posted about my issue with the site Tesla picked and after a stop at my local store, they were able to change the pickup location for me.

    Ordered 4/27 - White/Black - Located in CA My EDD has been 5/28-6/25 for two weeks. Just updated to 7/11-8/22. I’m not going to sweat it and hope that is just temporary. So far (& historically) there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the EDD so why worry. Just as long as it doesn’t fall on my...

    Looks like this is the same guy that posted the pics/vid to the Facebook private group. Seems like he has it, how he was able to get it done is the mystery. Cool to see someone get one. In the short time I’ve been here and having dealt with Tesla energy previously, I’ve learned that you don’t...

    So I just got back to the office and wanted to share what I was told... First thing's first, I was able to change my delivery location to the preferred location. This was after the associate that I was messaging me yesterday telling me that I could not make a change. So kudos to my local guy...

    Well that's annoying as hell. I had a reminder sent to make sure my pre-delivery items were all completed (despite an EDD of May 25-June 28th). So i messaged them to see if they could change my delivery location to the one 20 minutes from my house. The rep got back to me and said that because...

    That is very encouraging on a number of levels. - Black interior VIN!!! - EDIT: Sorry folks, I read what I wanted to see and I apologize. Never post and poo people, it’s not safe. - Order date not on 4/23 - West Coast delivery - That’s what I ordered (on 4/27) and I’m also on the West Coast and...

    I mean you did order 2 weeks after a much sought after car was released. Also you have probably read that the EDD means nothing. Keep the faith.
