    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    They also make anti-glare non reflective films I’ve used before for tvs and monitors in bright rooms. I wonder if that would do it? Just for fun I checked a site with custom size offerings and could do 96” x 1” - 34 bucks. 😂 I bet they would wonder wth is going on with that order.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah, both I and @normcaldwell test drove that one (Norm found it first!). When I did it there was only one SA working, and he was super cool (also probably overwhelmed because there were other customers there trying to get some of his time). Just let me take it, no issues.

    If you swipe that code on the app you get 30 VINs. Confirmed.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I’m thinking of it like this - delay just means more time for me to save for- and for all these awesome members who get theirs before me to debate on - all the accessories I need. I figure by the time I get mine I will have already figured out paint protection, tint, all weather tires (and...

    *sad trombone noise* . Edd just pushed out to July 28- September 8. Boooo! I know it doesn’t really mean that much but dang! 🙁

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Man that white exterior looks awesome! So happy with my choice seeing that. Although I went black interior cuz i got three kids and the back seat of my current ride looks like someone got murdered via “art projects” and sports field cleats. 😂

    Yeah… she drowned unfortunately 😟I’ll go ahead with a PSA for everyone as well… know (and show your family!) how the emergency door open works if no power to the car: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html Edit: typos

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah… I plan on immediately disabling that. Good ideA, but can have issues. Like that lady where it backed her into the water 😬. I’ll pick myself which way to move out of park, thank you very much.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Is there a separate category or thread on TMC about financing? I couldn’t find one and don’t want to clog up this thread if so - but you got me all wanting to ask where you’re finding these rates! Some initial looking around at credit unions in Colorado and the best I could find offered (listed)...

    Omg. I just saw the picture and that grass behind the drivers side window made it look like the glass was completely cracked. I thought the post was going to be about you getting your heart broken lol. Glad it’s not the case and congrats!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    There are a ton of people (including myself) with that exact date range. I’m thinking it’s just some sort of “waiting room” date range they use as they are sorting their erp system reports and such. At my company we have a similar “bucket” that basically just means waiting for confirmed...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah I feel for all you! I didn’t order till May 2nd so I know I’ve probably still got a month or so. I can’t imagine being front of the list and just getting bounced around on delivery with whatever the hell is going on with Tesla. It’s so close for you guys and gals… but 2 steps forward and...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Driving home tonight in Colorado and passed a trailer on the interstate loaded with Teslas - counted three (!) M3Ps. Two grey and one blue, all black interiors. (Sorry no pic, was driving and it was windy AF).

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Also - just reading some of the other posts. I have a hard time believing there’s a known safety issue and they just let me do a test drive. That would have been a HUGE liability for them. They would have immediately alerted every center and told them no test drives.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    So I did a thing. Went by the Tesla dealership to see the M3P that I heard was there. Yep, sure was! I sat in it, took some pictures. When I went back into the SA to let him know he could lock it back up, he asked if I wanted to test drive it. So.... well of course! I spent about 20 minutes on...

    I feel guilty saying it, but I hope this is true! hoping to ride @KGinCO 's coattails with a similar pull-in for White/Black in Colorado! ;)

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Thanks for the info! I work about 30 miles from there- am tempted to go see it but am torn. I have a feeling seeing it in person, sitting in it, and maybe even driving will just make the wait worse!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    @m3boost Make sure to take a fuzzy pic once you do! Maybe of the passenger floor well with a Slim Jim wrapper discarded? “M3P delivery confirmed!” 😂🤣😂 seriously though all the best…. And legit pic or it didn’t happen!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Thanks @protatomonster ! That was the one concern I had - 6’4” and 250 here. Hearing the seats were “snug” from most people could be good or could be bad! A “snug” seat on an airplane means us bigger guys are absolutely miserable as I’m sure you know. I really didn’t want to go through all this...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Just a caution (for this and everything else) - you are having this conversation in the app, or by calling Tesla through the 800 number, right? My brother recently bought a new ordered car (not a Tesla) and somehow his info got out. He was text messaged and called by “the dealer” (even had a...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yep, I’m sure that’s it. In a different industry, but sell flow measurement products that can be used to record a legal transaction of renewable natural gas that is used to get credits from the EPA/government. The final hurdle for reporting accuracy signoff from EPA took absolutely forever…

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I did the same thing with financing my first mortgage - was shopping around and wound up with too many hard hits. At the end of the day, the financing company I went with just had me sign a letter that said I wasn’t going to take a loan on any of the other inquiries so they could still give me a...

    What????? Why did they send my car to Abu Dhabi!! 🤣😉

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I would totally do this if they offered - and I live in Colorado! I’d fly out, pick it up, and “Grand Tour” my way home!!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Or.. (grasping at straws here trying to keep the hope alive 😬) … I’m pretty sure all the Tesla showroom M3P cars that have been spotted showing up have black interiors. Which makes sense really - if you have dozens of random dirty asses climbing in and out of the showroom car every day, maybe...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Lol. I'm driving our backup beater since my transmission basically exploded on my daily driver (on the plus side, that was what made me finally pull the trigger on the Tesla!). So, until I get delivery I'm rocking a 2012 Madza 6 mini van with 160K miles, hail damage, a cooling/heating fan that...

    It's possible: https://cleantechnica.com/2023/04/22/tesla-just-passed-4-million-cumulative-sales-charts/ They've been estimated to be selling about 400K model 3's a year (this is actually an informed split of 3/Y by CleanTechnica, since they no longer publically release the split between the...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah - I happened to be by a Tesla dealership last week and thought, wth, let's see if they know when they are getting a M3P for the showroom. I went in and asked the SA and she said "Oh, we have one! It's out in the demo drive space, want to see it?". Of course I was like hell yeah! She takes...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah, thanks for posting! Definitely makes me happy with my choice (when I ever get it - I think it’s going to be a looooong summer lol). Those headlights even have a “smoked” look to them. Might have just been the lighting / showroom. Also, my state (Colorado) offers a choice for license plate...
