Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[makeyourself]

Funny how July EDD folks are now trying to switch from black interiors to white interiors to try and get their date moved up, but it's not working.

I considered it this morning too, but I figured it wouldn't move the EDD up and I didn't want my kids messing up white seats.

Sometimes it might take a little time (few days?) for the EDD to get updated because of a config change. I've seen this happen before. So if these July EDD folks are expecting for an quick change of EDD, it may not happen right away.

Where are you seeing that?

On the Tracker AKA the thing we're all constantly looking at when we're not refreshing the Tesla app to see our EDD. Check the comments column and there's a few examples.

All cars being produced by Tesla are on HW4. So while there may be slight differences in the cosmetic look of it, all of the hardware and software are HW4.

Do you know since when? My 2023 M3P came with HW3 The Y we got at the same time had HW4. That was in 2023 so maybe things have progressed. It would suck if the new M3P had older hardware.

Congrats! So excited for everyone getting VINs now.

As far as the lease goes, let’s just say I can’t get the tax credit without the lease. I ran the numbers and the depreciation would be too extreme for it to make sense to buy the car.

However, I want to be clear that the lease numbers are absolutely abysmal. My Money Factor is absolutely absurd but the extra $7,500 off I wouldn’t get otherwise just barely makes up for that interest rate.

My new car should cost me the exact same per month as my current 2022 Model 3 Performance but that will be FAR higher than people who qualify for the tax credit with a purchase.

Yep, same boat for me. I was looking to purchase this one but I don't qualify for the tax credit. Leasing is the better option this time around.

I'm in Australia, so I highly doubt doing this will affect me in anyway. My EDD is July-Sep, hopefully it happens in this date range. I had white interior my last M3P, but this time going black.

I was really on the fence between the two, went with black but the evidence of EDD gave me an excuse to switch. My current car has "silver/white" interior and its been fine. I think it worked because I and others didn't get the shift to July today. I hope I didn't just jinx myself. Lol

yeah I heard that in some cars the white interior absorbs colors really quickly. LIke a new pair of unwashed jeans will immediately bleed into it.

I haven't read highland reviews of the white interior to know if it has that issue, but I didn't want to gamble. Plus my kids often pile into the car when they are very sweaty after sports practice, so I really felt like getting white was asking for trouble.

White is a good interior color for cars you only drive on Sunday.

I was looking on my VIN and Digit 8 is Motor/Drive Unit and mine is letter T which is not listed on the VIN Decoder 2024. https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/mid/home/displayfile/fbec7f77-5e2b-4d06-b46c-267e7327c2ff

Are those with VIN assigned has the same letter T on digit 8?

My second order received a VIN today, going to cancel it so hope it gets reassigned to one of you

 

[whoosierdaddy]

Looks like 5 people on the sheet got VINs today, very cool!

I heard the black interiors are Corinthian leather

Some of the December inventory 23 m3p in Orlando FL were all HW3 that I saw. I was looking at them with the discounts, but outdated hdw kept me from pulling the trigger...

Went to try out the new seats in the plaid and the ludicrous. They look so similar but they feel completely different. The plaid seats are much wider and less bolstered on the legsn they are almost not sporty. Made for very large people.

Plaid back seats are also strangely uncomfortable. Very upright

That’s sad. The obvious visual difference on the thigh support is crazy. Just out of curiosity how big are you

Are those with VIN assigned has the same letter X on digit 8?

Mine just has a twitter logo in the 8th spot.

Kidding of course, no X in mine at all.

Had a white interior for the last 5 years in another make. Minimal problems keeping clean even with two dogs and a dog seat protector. I would not do white with kids under 16.
