Regen High enables the one foot/pedal driving and is fantastic (you wont want to go back after using it a bit). The first couple drives on the ICE car after a Tesla are a bit strange, but wears off quick. I have a Jeep Wrangler (essentially the antithesis of an EV in almost every way) too and...

I was in a similar boat, watching my EDD move from before my week long out of town vacation, to after, hoping it didn't settle on a date i was out. You do have a couple days flexibility and in some areas they just deliver the car to your house and its waiting for you upon return (the downside...

Yeah I think early in the quarter, things skew the expectation a bit as an extra car or two either have orders cancelled or an extra couple roll off the line. Nothing to make it easier on those of us waiting and trying to figure out actual delivery. But enjoy that you are definitely the...

Already done. :) Black dual motor badge (red stripe) from Abstract Ocean and front/rear T's have been plasti-dipped. Much easier chrome delete than my 2018, ha.

The great mystery that is the Tesla EDD. Makes no sense why they dont just tell people: 'Order now and we push cars at quarter end' after providing the initial 7-11 week estimate. For reference today is the Q3 equivalent of when I ordered in Q2 (4/13/21) and my car was delivered 6/14 in...

As a Q2 '21 delivery alum...performance model 3s are built last and please please please ignore the EDD. I knew going in (2nd model 3) to ignore the EDD, but I still checked every day and let it get my hopes up. It didn't matter, as others before me stated, expect your car in the last 2 weeks...

You have 24 hours after home delivery to report anything to Tesla to fix. This mostly applies to wear/tear items (rock chips, sap, bird poop) that after a couple days you could have been the cause of. After the 24 hours you can still obviously report anything else that needs fixing (rattles...

As not fun as it is, its the luck getting a bad build at this point given the volume they are producing. It sucks regardless, but as an owner previously of vin 18xxx (sold for the new M3P)... today's production is fantastic.

Its good to create that list off the truck but my understanding is a lot goes on between then and delivery. I wouldnt judge a Tesla build immediately after being pulled off the truck

There seems to be a couple different versions of home delivery. Mine was delivered by a Tesla employee who got a ride back from someone else. I signed a couple paper docs he brought and done. Others have had 'don't need to be home' deliveries where the car shows up and you sign electronically...

Text asking you to login to your account, pick your delivery date, make payment, etc. Then after scheduled I got automated phone call and text to confirm delivery a couple days before.

Delivery yesterday…

Mine did that as well. I paid the full balance via Plaid and when i tried to connect the first several times as a test, it errored. When I put in enough cash, no error and it took the balance from the account. So if you dont have sufficient funds in the account, you will get the error after...

Home delivery day in Denver! Sliiiiight frunk panel alignment needed but on the fence if necessary. Never drove a P before this one (sold my 2018 M3 rwd)…just wow.

My 2018 3 had this. Mobile service tried to adjust it but didn’t have enough adjustment room to get it flush. They ended up changing out the entire charge port (still via mobile service).
