Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[AJ Henderson]

My confirmation email was at 12:11 and I posted on the tracker pretty early. People have been sorting it though, so they were mixed around a few times.

Hopefully they are going to alternate interiors soon. Maybe 2 weeks of white then switch or something. Judging by the estimates that looks like the plan.

Might be that the sort didn't work as well as I thought. I'm more an Excel guy than a sheets guy. Glad to see other early orders. Still kicking myself for not subscribing to the Twitter feed.

What twitter feed?

EPA approvals? Does anyone know more about this?

Maybe the extra performance comes from a small ICE.

“There’s nothing wrong with white interior supply. There’s nothing wrong with white interior orders. There’s nothing wrong with our production line. Everything is operating smoothly”

Plot twist: maybe they just couldn’t tell us only M3P’s were being built in white interior while the LR and RWD orders were being built with Black interior.

Scarier thought is they can only run white or black at one time and they are currently tooled for white. If so hopefully that means those of us with black interiors don't end up waiting for months.

What twitter feed?

They announced orders were live on the Tesla Twitter account. I didn't find out until 40 minutes later.

12 folks in the tracker with VINs, but only 3 of those people with scheduled delivery dates.

I almost feel sorry for those of you with VINs, almost.

Vin means you can get paperwork done. I'd be much happier if I could get all the paperwork done and just be waiting for the car rather than waiting to start paperwork.

Received my vin yesterday at around 4 pm in LA. No delivery date yet. Spec:Stealth Grey/White interior. Original order (1/10/24) was for the same exact spec in LR converted to M3P when it was released due to the delays for the LR.

EPA approvals? Does anyone know more about this?

The EPA delay was a few weeks for the 2024 MYP this year. First deliveries delayed until 2 Week of March and this was an existing model.

I would think it should delayed from NHTSA ... whats EPA looking at on EV? Zero smog

EPA approvals? Does anyone know more about this?

Please tell me this isn't going to be long delays due to some bureaucratic nightmare!

 

[AJ Henderson]

They pay sh*t for every type of car now.

They were offering $21k for my cx-9.

EPA approvals? Does anyone know more about this?

Wonder if this is related to the latest litigation story released recently:
"Tesla is being sued by the nonprofit Environmental Democracy Project, which alleges "ongoing failure to comply with the Clean Air Act" at the electric vehicle company's assembly plant in Fremont, California."

Here’s what I saw on Twitter but thought it was BS

They were offering $21k for my cx-9.

They increased my trade value 1200 week of delivery even though I had an estimate in the account within 30 days.

Sounds like bullsh*t to me. Come on EPA approvals... "how about Sunday"? Yeah like EPA approvals only come in last minute and you just have to wait a few days.

Might fill out the tracker? Makes it easier to keep track.

Interesting and I bet it is true. So many bureaucratic hurdles just like matrix lights, mpge estimates, nag effectiveness. When was the last time NHTSA was worried about good old cruise control or pulsing ABS brakes that caused crashes.

Must be high level in the company. They can't spell or use punctuation. They pushed @plzdelivercar by one day. I think we're OK.

Denver folks... Just saw a new M3P grey/White got delivered at the littleton location. Went and talked to the SA inside and he said I can't go look at it, but it will be in the Park Meadows showroom within a week or so.

 

[Spye007]

I hope so. black seats have me more concerned. I’ve seen many pics of the black seats already showing significant wear/wrinkles from the drone pics very early on to random pics from showrooms and I wonder if that’s the problem.
