Back from delivery and a drive! Delivery was smooth with no drama. Wifey a bit overwhelmed by the technology but had fun driving around. Sorry no pics as the weather in the Chicago area is bad. Feeling bad for Suds as he is picking up now and the weather is worse than when we picked up. Good...

So I went over to the Westmont delivery center this morning before they opened up, drove to the back lot, and the first white Model Y was my wife's! Built on May 12, all panels and glass looked good. Came home and tried to pay online but Plaid didn't like the access code from our bank. So we...

When I bought my Model 3 in April 2019, they took a personal check from me at the Westmont SC. Wife will try personal check tomorrow.

Last night the website was sketchy, but finally managed to get through and eventually schedule delivery on Friday at the Westmont store. Accepted Tesla's offer for the old car which was $76 more than Carvana. The Tesla site does not like scanned PDFs of your title, but will take scanned JPEGs...

When this place lit up about 90 minutes ago, I checked my wife's account. From 6-9 weeks this morning, to VIN and EDD May 25-28!! No email from SA yet. She has the default configuration, ordered Apr 29. VIN 193xxx. Picking up in Westmont. Since that's about 2 miles from us, we went over and...

I just drove by the Westmont store. There were about 25 Model Ys in the back without license plates, some with shipping wrap still on. Every color except red. Didn't get out and look at decals, but I would bet that some of you will be matched to a VIN once those cars get updated.

It's not totally hacked, because the red Model 3 in my account shows the correct VIN. Wife's white Model Y has turned into a blue Model 3 like everyone else here.

My account is down, and I own a Model 3. Something is up with the Tesla database. Maybe good things for prospective Model Y owners. 😍

Today is three weeks since my wife ordered the default Model Y (White/19/Black/5/NoTow/AP). On order day she was estimated 6-9 weeks from order date. The estimate has remained the same since then, except for May 12, when it was listed as Jun 17 - 30. On May 13 it went back to 6-9 weeks from...

The very rich are different from you and me.

Did you take it to Hoffman Estates or Naperville?

Wifey ordered Model Y on Apr 29, had generic "6-9 weeks from order date" listed since then until today. Now has date range Jun 17 - Jun 30. Config is LR White 19 NoTow Black 5 AP. I am a Model 3 owner since April 2019. I convinced her to give up her 8 year old CR/V after the AWD light started...

Bought my Model 3 in April 2019 out of inventory at the Westmont IL store. Ordered on Monday, picked up on Thursday. Panel gaps perfect, interior perfect, no issues at all. Two years later it's still the best car I've ever owned.

My April 2019 SR+ still charges to 216 miles indicated at the top of the Daily battery range limit, exactly 90% of 240 miles. As far as I know the 2019s never got a boost to 250 miles.

Apples and oranges. Once the F-150 is out of the Ford factory it is no longer Ford's problem, it is some dealership's problem. There are no dealerships involved with Tesla.

Probably saved 8-9 million USA lives, vs doing nothing and just letting people spread the virus to everyone in the country. How bad do you think the economy would have been after that, never mind all the sick people who would have been unable to do their jobs. Doing nothing would have been...

With Chicago as a major rail hub, I think you're more likely to get the car in a more timely fashion if you take delivery at one of the Chicago stores. You could take delivery in Westmont if you don't want to deal with city traffic. That store also seems to get a good number of inventory cars.

The 26 LR AWDs and Ps that were up this morning in the Chicago area are gone, but there are now 2 SR+ in Highland Park, and a LR AWD in the BNSF Logistics Park. New & Used Electric Cars | Tesla

You should make a service appointment. My non-FSD SR+ follows curves like a champ on AutoSteer.

VIN or it didn't happen. ;)

26 LR AWDs and Ps (+ and -) just showed up in the Chicago area today. It looks like the factory just finished a huge batch of white cars and they've been shipped off to high sales hubs. New & Used Electric Cars | Tesla

There's a red/white/19 in the Chicago area. 2020 Model 3 | Tesla

There were three SR+ in the Chicago area yesterday — two of them on a train in the BNSF Elwood Logistics Park south of Joliet. Those are gone, only one car in Westmont now. 2020 Model 3 | Tesla So, SR+ are being produced.

It's the fastest car I've ever owned. At age 65, it's got all the acceleration my reaction time can handle, and much more than my wife wants. I have plenty of fun with the car when I'm alone in it, or with a guy friend. Wonderful car.

I've had my SR+ since April 2019 and 4400 miles. I charge to 90% every night and the car displays 216, 215, or 214 miles range, almost exactly 90% of 240. Following the Tesla recommendation has worked well for me.

There is no ordering a stealth online. You must ask a sales advisor to find you one.

I'm a mid-boom baby boomer and I've always liked chrome — it's what I grew up with. I never really noticed chrome delete on the streets, and only found out it was a thing on these boards. For that reason, I thought chrome delete was a GenXer / Millennial fashion statement.

No, they'll just sell the car to someone else..

Good luck with that. There are probably a dozen people in the SR+ waiting room thread that will happily take that car off of Tesla's hands at the Carlsbad store and be happy to take the $1875.

This always works for me if the car starts demanding the key card. Somehow the bluetooth connection has a glitch. Happens to me most often after a car software update or a phone software update.

Aye! That's exactly what I used and you get a nice smooth finish.

The preliminary Q4 numbers reported contradict this. Sales were 112k vehicles, production was 105k vehicles, therefore Q1-Q3 production had 7k of inventory that did not sell by the end of Q3.

Wow, Illinois Secretary of State got me the title in about two or three weeks. However, I transferred plates from my trade-in to the Model 3, and I bought in Illinois, not out of state.

I had no problem with an existing inventory car, but it was purchased in April before the cutover to the new system. As a retired DBA, I know how hard a database conversion can be. My former employer had a SalesForce application, just like Tesla did, and we eventually dropped it and moved on to...

It looks like 105k vehicles produced in Q4 but 112k vehicles sold. 7k Q3-produced vehicles sold in Q4 as well, so they really drained that leftover inventory.

A Dremel will do the job just fine.

As of right now there's a 2019 red SR+ black interior 18" with 610 on the odometer at the Highland Park store north of Chicago. 2019 Model 3 | Tesla

The key takeaway — "Until then, we can expect to keep seeing the end of quarter rushes to meet its sales and delivery projections in order to retain confidence from the company's investors." It's all about the stock price. The company needs capital to expand, it needs the confidence of...

There aren't ANY electric cars available now that have the tech and design that the Model 3 offers.

Speeds above 55-60 affect range as well as low temperature. I'm not that surprised to see you get only 55% stated range driving fast and in cold. I did a test at 65 mph in similar temperature and lost 25% range.

Poor little SoCal Richie Rich could afford a $70k car two years ago, regrets decision. But, seeing as the OP has not returned to this thread, looks like a hit and run troll.

Give it a couple days. My referral was added after the order was placed, and the miles showed up a couple days after delivery.

Ordered October 18. Added my referral October 20. Took delivery November 1. Miles appeared November 2. It all comes down to your SA. Liz over at the Westmont store is a lion.

Completely untrue. My sister ordered a car first, then her SA added my referral. I have 1000 miles in my loot box on my app.

Drive over to the Cherry Creek store or the Littleton store or the Lone Tree store and ask for a test drive. Someone will get assigned to you.

That was probably THE last Model 3 built with a 2019 VIN. A collector's item, as it were. ;)

I'm going to guess that you misheard and the actual value is 4 mm.

I got the searching for update as soon as I hit the software button this morning, so I was unable to test the five times advance. SR+ HW2.5 AP only.
