Yes, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it was available for delivery. I was expecting late-June. I can also confirm that it does *not* have passenger-side lumbar adjustment. I don't think I have ever adjusted that as a passenger in the past anyway... Manufacturing date on the door...

So I ordered my car on 5/16, was assigned a VIN (981,1xx) on 5/30, and took delivery yesterday on 6/1. Deep Blue Metallic, Black Interior, No FSD. I picked it up at the new Tesla Vallejo location. Unlike my previous 2 Teslas, this car had -zero- notable defects. Panel gaps are consistent...

I’m in the Bay Area, ordered my Blue/Black/No FSD on 5/16, shocked to have a VIN this morning and estimated delivery 5/29-6/1. I was expecting at the end of the month as typical (this is my 3rd Tesla, fastest order-to-VIN time ever!) VIN is 981162.

That all depends. I have seen the price go both ways. It's a bit of a gamble. There was a price drop right before we ordered our Model Y, which helped nudge me to pull the trigger. On the flip side, when I bought my S there was a price drop right after I took delivery. It can go either way...

I have just ordered my third Tesla. First an S, then a Y, now a 3, and if there is one thing that I have learned from the waiting room forums and spreadsheets each time is this: don't expect delivery until the last few weeks of the quarter. They will give you all sorts of wild estimates that...

We just took delivery about an hour ago here in the East Bay. AWD MSM / Black / 20" / Tow Hitch VIN # 485xx, ordered July 12th... I inspected the car pretty closely, the fit and finish are good, panel gaps are consistent, paint looks good, lights all look good, interior is blemish-free. The...

Oh sorry, I am in Pleasant Hill, CA... about 30 miles from the factory.

Just got the call from our DA today, assigned VIN 485xx. This was for AWD MSM / Black / 20" / Tow Hitch. They will be delivering it to our house tomorrow morning. I'm not sure if that means they drive it over here, or they bring it on a flatbed.

I charged here on Saturday mid-morning, and there were still several stalls available (not counting the broken ones), no waiting. I was expecting a wait with the holiday weekend, but I was pleasantly surprised. I think that Pismo Beach and Paso Robles have both helped to relieve the pressure...

I stopped and charged at this station about 1:30 PM on Labor Day. I'd say only maybe ⅓-½ of the stalls were in use, which was impressive for mid-day on a holiday weekend travel day.

The good news is that our older/slower Model S's will still charge faster (and get out of your way sooner) at these v3's than we do at a busy and shared v2, since we can still max out our charging speed without having to share. I would hope that my fellow slow-chargers are also courteous enough...

That's why I am happiest about this one. My S 75D doesn't have quite enough range to make it home from the Harris Ranch supercharger home (even though it's only 170 miles), and the Santa Nella charger seems to always be very busy or full when we travel near holidays.

It's really frustrating. When I ordered my Model S a couple of years ago, I was getting regular phone calls and updates on the status, and I knew pretty quickly after ordering what the 3-day window was to expect delivery. I was expecting the same experience when I ordered the Model Y on July...

I ordered on 7/12 and was promised "4-8 weeks", got the "5-8 weeks" text on 8/6, then got "4-6 weeks" on 8/19. I already received the financing approval back in July. Being in the Bay Area, I have given up any hope of actually taking delivery before the last day or two of the quarter. My order...

I'm bummed, I ordered on July 12th (LR AWD 20" w/ tow hitch) with the estimated 4-8 week delivery window. Now, 3 weeks in, I just got a text pushing things out 5-8 weeks from today. So it seems that the initial 4-8 weeks that they were suggesting is more like 8-12 weeks. I kind of wish we...
