    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That's a good idea. I may have to try this. Sounds like a good clickbaity youtube title too.. Camping in the Tesla Parking lot waiting on my Tesla. Its -20 degrees here right now. Fiber Internet went out but I have phone wifi for as long as it will last.

    I hope so ... Wife and I already took off work and rented a car. Was thinking of hanging out in KC for a couple of day, If I can forget that superbowl performance before then

    Do you midwest guys think this winter weather is going to affect our delivery dates?

    I've been looking at that kit on amazon. It seems like good peace of mind for the money.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Dallas is 80 miles further than KC for me, but I would have picked Dallas if I could have due to the winter weather/temps in KC. Having lived in East Texas I'm pretty familiar with the crazy Dallas drivers too

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I didn't complete my purchase last year so it may not have given me Dallas as an option in the end, but in pre-order process Dallas was listed as a location. It could have been just for used Teslas. I was trying to decide between used and new.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It didn't give me Dallas as an option, but I know there is a service center there. I like KC better than Dallas, but in the winter I would have picked Dallas. I just couldn't get them as an option. Last year when I almost ordered a Model 3 it would only give me Dallas as a option when I was...

    Just curious, Why did you choose KC over Dallas for your pick up location?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    We only ended up with about 3" of snow here, but the sustained temperatures are something I haven't had to experience. I was in Baghdad when it snowed on christmas about 10 years ago. That was weird. This cold front is a close second to that

    Welcome back. I'm about 8-10 minutes from the University. There are a lot of Teslas around NW Arkansas. Hopefully they add some superchargers around the state soon.

    Tough week to move to Arkansas. Best of Luck with the move. I've been back here in Arkansas for a while now. Every year My wife and I swear we're going to move away again

    I always assumed you guys would be first on the delivery list.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just made my payment and scheduled pick up for 3/2 in KC. Earliest I had available was 3/1, but my wife can't do it on Mondays. I never talked to an actual person through this entire process. Aside from the actual waiting, this has been a pretty easy purchase. And of course Tesla announced...

    You have a SA but no VIN I have a VIN and no SA (at least that I know about)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I ordered on 1/31. My estimate did the same thing just before I got my VIN. I woke up that morning and it had been moved out to late March. Later that morning I had a VIN and a 2 week estimated delivery window for Feb.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The first week I obsessively watched electric installation videos and then Tesla Wall Charger installation videos. I convinced myself I could install it myself. I bought everything I needed, ran the 6/3 wire, mounted the charger and installed a 60A breaker. It was a good use of my excess...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was not completely aware of what this wait would be like to be honest. I saw 5-9 weeks when I placed my order and thought that doesn't sound too bad. It took me about 2 days to start checking the order page multiple times per day. I don't know what I'm going to do next week when I'm snowed in

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    LOL. I had $300 in apparel in my cart earlier. I was getting ready to click order before I thought 'what the hell are you doing, man'. Does the service/delivery center typically carry stuff like the key FOB?

    Hello, I lived in Washington State in the mid-late 90s. Such a beautiful state. The wait feels like the longest Christmas Eve ever. Luckily I found this forum to keep me from refreshing my order page all day.

    I feel like I cut the line. I don't know what could be happening. I did upload all my insurance information... I even added a new insurance card today specifically for my VIN. I can't imagine that had anything to do with it. EDIT: I still don't have an email, phone call, or text from them

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was looking on the Order Tracking Spreadsheet and I didn't see any VINs for 1/22 orders. Not sure how accurate that it. I did finance this through Tesla partners because the rate was too good to pass up. Not sure if that matters.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    They just updated my estimated delivery to 2/24-3/2... We have to be on the same delivery cycle, if thats a thing. It could be the difference in registration too. In Arkansas they mail all of the registration paperwork to your address and then you're on your own. Not sure how OK works?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I still don't have an email from them, my VIN just showed up in the Tesla Account page. You may still be ahead of me. Right now it says Feb 27 - Mar 3. Did you pick KC for your location too?

    Indianapolis seems so far away from me, but looked up the drive time and your are not as far as I thought.. just over 8 hrs

    Sorry to hear that. We are geographically close to each other, too. I don't know if there is any rhyme or reason to this VIN date

    Oh yeah. I'm happy with that date. Looking forward to that steak house too.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This morning my window was extended to March 31. I was feeling bit sad. Refreshed the account page an hour later and I had my VIN with delivery for 2/25-3/3. What a rollercoaster day! White with Black Interior btw

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks. I will probably check it out. I thought electric car owners were supposed to be vegan though :D I ordered this car because it was the coolest car made for the money. My wife just puts up with my car habit, but even she loved this car. We are currently building a 1950 Mercury together.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thats my pickup location too. I've not seen sustained temps this cold in my area in a long time. Still looking forward to the drive to get it. I'm hoping to have it before mid March because my wife and I are going to your area-- OKC... Then we will only have to worry about the tornados

    I thought I was going crazy buying stuff, but you win! Maybe this is Tesla's plan. Make them wait 5 weeks and see how much extra they will spend.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same. I try not to check here or my Tesla account too much but its like I'm addicted. I need my update fix. I didn't anticipate the wait being like this. I thought the 5-9 week wait would go by fast compared to the last 2 years... wrong. The last week felt like a month.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ordered my Model 3 Jan 31. Still have no information about delivery. I'm just going stir crazy and found this forum. Had so much energy this weekend that I installed my Tesla Wall Charger then had an electrician come check it all out and turn on the breaker. 2.5 years ago I drove a Model 3...
