Very strange delivery experience in Dedham, MA near Boston. Quick summary: It took about 30 minutes and went very well, and I'm thrilled with my new Blue/White Model 3! :D Details: - Originally scheduled for 10am Monday but got a text on Saturday saying it would be 3pm instead - Got there...

In terms of dealing with range anxiety, you might want to play around with setting a nav destination even when traveling someplace you know well. If you are going to be in danger of needing a charge the navigation system will route you thru a supercharger, and if it doesn't then you know you are...

Like others I was wondering if the latest developments would delay delivery for me in the Boston area. Just called the Dedham Tesla location and they confirmed my new M3P is currently passing thru Indianapolis and on-track for either Friday or Saturday delivery, so my Monday appointment is still...

Out of curiosity I looked it up for Massachusetts and we're limited to 35% on side and rear windows, and can't tint windshield at all except for top 6 inches. Glad I wasn't thinking of it or I'd have serious FOMO right about now.

All my EVs have a name with EV in it: - First Tesla Model 3 is Stevie - Bolt is Evan - Performance Model 3 (getting delivered next Monday!) is Evodio, an ancient Greek name meaning "he who follows a good road"

Ouch, I'm sure that's very disappointing. :( Good luck!

My Tesla guy is working on Sundays: later in the afternoon not too long after my VIN showed in source code he mailed me to say my car would be in the area on the 21st and ready for delivery on the 23rd, so I now have my appointment scheduled! If it goes through as scheduled then it means it was...

Tesla almost always seems to have some big announcement waiting in the wings. Once more info on the battery comes up there will be some other eagerly awaited nugget of info coming out. Right now the order lag is pretty high given end-of-quarter timing so you'll have plenty of time to cancel if...

Yup, 669XXX

Hurray, VIN in source code as of Sunday Morning. Eventually heading to Boston area (if not already on the way) Order placed Feb 27 (blue/white/FSD/stealth version) Modified order to include PUP March 10 (after Tesla called and said stealths aren't being made until summertime) VIN in source code...

Congrats! You look so happy in that picture! :) I hope you have many years of safe fun happy driving in your M3 ahead of you! \o/

Other than FSD that's exactly what my order is, so fingers crossed I'll be getting assigned a VIN soon too!

That's great news! Looking forward to hearing your delivery day story :)

Just got a call from Tesla and was given a choice: I had ordered a Performance but w/o the PUP (for various reasons detailed elsewhere). But, they told me that configuration wouldn't be made again until sometime this summer, so I could either stick with Performance w/o PUP and wait until some...

We're switching to 2 model 3s so keeping it :)
