I ordered a Performance Model 3 in July. Was told 2-3 weeks production time. 12 weeks passed, and nothing. With all the initial quality issues folks were experiencing, and being told each time I called that "it will be next week", I cancelled the order. Fast forward to a few days ago, I get an...

Yes. She was very nice, but when your official advice is “you should tweet @ Elon, I stop taking you seriously. The other part of this that cost me money, is I had to pay 2 overage payments on my lease, which basically means I rented a car for $500 / mo. I went through 2 loan approvals expiring...

I officially gave up and cancelled after threatening to a couple weeks ago. Ordered 07/22, no VIN after 10 weeks. I'm in NorCal, and i'm seeing people here get delivered with my same spec, in my area after 4 weeks. I thought Tesla was different at the beginning of this entire process. Turns out...

Has anyone who is still waiting on their P3D received an email from Tesla saying they will not deliver unless you fork over the extra 1K? 1 guy on Reddit claims he got this email and ordered last week. I ordered 07/29 and did not get it.
