Yes, Tesla did the work. My understanding is that they opened in July, but they aren't operating at full capacity yet (meaning that they aren't ready to do major rebuilds at this point). Tesla had me submit pics of my damaged car to one of their reps in Fremont. He did a preliminary repair...

It was Tesla’s own body shop located in the same building as the service center on Cedar Springs. I believe it just opened in july (one of ten initial ones nationwide).

It was painted at the factory. If there was any color variation due to different batches of paint, they were going to do additional blending with the pieces around it. Thankfully, it was a perfect match.

Another drive recently backed into the driver door of my Model 3. I was worried about how long the repair process might take with the current production issues (and wondered if it would be difficult to obtain the needed parts quickly). However, I could not be more pleased. As soon as I had...

We used the Waco one a couple weeks ago. It seemed to be having problems with several of the superchargers. After moving around to try 3 or 4 of them, we found one that worked perfectly. Others there that day were having similar issues.

I think that's key - "if the S is your daily driver." My spouse has primarily driven the S for the18 months we've had it. I've usually taken the Prius. So I have been pleasantly surprised by the ride on the Model 3 (especially after reading so many concerns about this ahead of time). Yes...

What time did you take delivery? You may have been there with us. There was a red going out during our 11 am appointment. Similar first day. One reboot. Still figuring out the phone as key. The delivery rep said it should work even without the app open (as long as the 3 was the last car...

It's yours. I'll send you a private message to get your address.

Anyone need a USB-C phone charge cable? I already ordered a second lightning cable for mine, so I don't need to trade. Happy to send it to the first person that asks for it.

They are used to crazy by now. I was worried about a late minute issue arising too Hope it's not yours... because I'm keeping it!! :)

Worth the wait! Just picked mine up today. SO much fun to drive! Can't wait to take it on a trip. Configured 1/18 VIN 2/14 Delivery 3/15 Thanks for all the info, advice, and encouragement along the way. It was a big help!

That is great improvement in overall timing from mine. (Over eight weeks from configuration to delivery, if all goes as plan on 3/15.) Hope that means they've smooth out the process somewhat. Congrats!

Thanks for letting us know! Do you remember what color the one was with duct tape?

I received my VIN four weeks (2/14) after configuring (1/17). Hopefully they have sped that part of since then. Scheduled for deliver a week from tomorrow (3/15)!

Finally heard back. Delivery on March 15th. Will be eight weeks after configuration, but I'm just happy it is coming!
