    Free 2 Years Supercharge?

    Took delivery on Sept 20, sales said I was submitted for the free supercharging and it would take two weeks. Two weeks rolled around and he told me "I meant two weeks from the end of September." Still on pay per use, but I have 78 referral miles left.

    New cars (after August) no longer come with a frunk mat?

    Took delivery on 9/20. No frunk mat. When I asked about it, they said I can buy one if I want one, but they don't come with any trim level anymore. What the hell did I pay $65K for? Nickels and dimes.

    MASTER THREAD: Tesla Insurance Services in California

    If this were any other insurance company, speaking from experience with mine (Allstate), it's pretty normal. They're giving me the run around trying to tell me I can't get a quote without a phone call and discussion first (I'm already a customer), and that since the computers are so expensive in...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Expected a delivery this morning at 8am. Slept through my damned alarm! Probably all that waiting anxiety killing my sleep :P Thankfully, I only missed the delivery phone call by a few minutes and the delivery was already on its way. Turns out the delivery driver was actually just driving my...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Considering how much load those sections carry, it wouldn't be a simple nor cheap modification. The Model 3 Pickup Truck required reinforcement after they discovered just how much it was loaded when they tried to cut it away.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Got my delivery confirmation call from the service center. They'll be delivering the car to my apartment tomorrow morning. I've got the checklist printed up that someone in the forum posted recently. Hopefully, in 24 hours, I'll have a bunch of pictures without problems to post. Note: Tesla...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I got the text that my car is in-transit and I can schedule my delivery. I have a tentative delivery for Friday morning at 8am. VIN is now listed in my account page, no need to go to the source. Nearly 8 weeks. It's been a huge pain in the ass.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Well holy sh!t. After 7 weeks and 1 day... I finally have a VIN in my page source! Ordered 7/28. VIN 9/16. About frikin' time. No contact or delivery date yet, but it's after hours so I would expect it tomorrow. Now I'll probably not be able to sleep lol Now to make sure the SA gets me the...

    Glad to see they sent you *my* car. :P Still waiting, though I got that "2 weeks" text this morning as well. I called my sales guy and he said that he would make sure to get my 2-year Supercharging added on. I wonder how many will cancel after this long? I'm not. I'm in this for however many...

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    7 weeks, tomorrow, since ordering my Perf/FSD white/white. This morning, I finally get a text from Tesla: "we expect to deliver your model 3 in the next 2 weeks and will contact you." No VIN listed yet.

    Non-leather steering wheels

    Archaic is what you'd like it to be, but it is still very much a current thing. Unethical, perhaps, by your standards, but ethics are subjective. My ethics say that it's unethical for you to tell me what my ethics should be. We should only choose for ourselves. I, for one, will continue to...

    Anyone able to order non-leather steering wheel?

    I wonder if I can specify that they build mine with any of the genuine leather steering wheels left.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Mine too! I've been waiting 7 weeks and my trade-in has been quietly snuggled in the garage with only an occasional trip outside to keep the battery topped up. They asked me for an updated mileage on it a couple weeks ago, and I've hardly put anything on it. Also, while driving from Seattle to...

    All these White cars sitting at the delivery center... only one with a white interior and not one is a Performance. Damn you Teslaaaaaaaa. :P

    Yeah, me either. I'm happy for those guys getting theirs, but I'm bummed about not having mine. However, I do notice that there are people in the forums who haven't contributed to the Tracking Spreadsheet yet. Fill it out, guys! :D Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    Model 3s made From Sept get noisemakers?

    Tesla Model 3 reportedly gets pedestrian noisemaker ahead of NHTSA mandate I'm still waiting on my Model 3 to be produced/delivered, and this horrifying article came across my desk this morning. Is my beautifully silent car going to be making noise? Any of the people who just had deliveries...

    It isn't. I've checked. :( Plus, I'm not the only one with this fully-loaded white on white config from July that hasn't received theirs yet.

    Ordered July 28th White/White, LRAWD Performance, 20" wheels, Full Self Driving. 6 weeks in, no VIN, rep still says "any day now", minMonth still shows "Sept."

    Still waiting for a VIN... sales rep doesn't have any information at all. They've been selling off new white SR and LR cars that arrived earlier in the week. 6 weeks.

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Got a chance to see the VINs on the new White models today. The Perf vehicles are no longer in the lot, but a dozen of other combinations. The VINs there are all 48xxxx. I couldn't tell you the production date, but I don't know of a restriction on VINs being date-ordered. Also, Tesla Delivery...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Yeah, these guys were still unpacking everything and inspecting the cars, none of them are listed in stock that I can see. Probably starting tomorrow. And if they didn't want spying customers, they shouldn't have put the lot next to all the fast food. :P

    Couple of truckloads of white model 3's just got dropped off at my local storage lot in Bellevue. There are some Perf cars in the mix.

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Stopped by my local (Bellevue, WA) Tesla storage lot. They unloaded what looks to be about 12-15 WHITE Model 3's, and they are being unpacked/inspected right now. I'm flipping ecstatic! I didn't get a detailed look, but there were a mix of trims, including Perf. The 5 week wait just got tense. LOL

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    It isn't. If you want a guaranteed delivery window, buy one off the lot. My custom order has said "2 weeks" for the last 5 weeks. We're all waiting for that overseas end-of-quarter crap to end so they can start pumping our cars out.

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    The local delivery center is a few minutes from my work, right next to where all the lunch options are. I've been checking it out this week, and the 200-car lot now has probably less than 40 vehicles on it. There are two basic white vehicles that have been there forever. No delivery trucks...

    Tesla just launched their Insurance service in California, perhaps they've updated the web services to support that and they're having... issues.

    It's nice to see some cars being moved. Hopefully I won't have to wait much more than 5 weeks.

    Performance Waiting Room

    This is probably why a bunch of people who ordered at the end of July, me included, just got a text that said 5-6 weeks. I'm hoping they'll deliver way before that. 7/28 order white/white perf, and I'll keep waiting because I want the car I ordered and won't settle for whatever is left on the lot.

    I ordered on 7/28 and my text said 5-6 weeks. That's... not nice. In other news, my neighbor just got his white/white SR aero delivered today. Those were in stock.

    Got a text message this morning: "Thank you for ordering your Model 3! We are waiting for a few finishing touches to be made on your vehicle. Please expect another 5-6 weeks before we reach out to schedule you for delivery." Talked to my local delivery center, they said they're getting tons of...

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    It's not bad. To be fair, they didn't give their word, they gave an estimate. Obviously, their estimates were insufficient to cover the demand for White once they switched it to the default color. But we should at least be honest about the date not being a promise and not let our impatience kill...

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Welcome to the waiting room. There are several people in front of you with the same configuration. :) If my wife didn't want the white exterior so much, I'd have been driving a Black/White/Perf/FSD since last month.

    Yeah, I've been checking it about every 2-4 hours, source included. Checked it again after you mentioned it this morning. Lots of posts throughout the forum saying the wait is worth it, but it gets a bit disheartening after a while. Even my local Tesla lot only has a couple of basic white...

    Every day, several times per day, for the past 2+ weeks. I've burned out my F5 key lol :) Still showing as null. It does show a wealth of other information regarding my purchase and account, and the VIN for my trade-in.

    Nail in tire = Tesla or Discount Tire

    I take all of my vehicles to Discount/America's Tire (same company, different states). For a small fee, they add insurance to the tires you buy, and fix flats for free (depending on ability to fix). The insurance has paid for itself in my case. I also got great service from a chain in SoCal when...

    Tesla Model 3 owner unlocks car with her arm after implanting RFID chip in it

    None? All of the above? Perhaps you might find that she's working with a company that is developing new tech to fit within the long-existing RFID implant market... like VivoKey. There are many practical uses from a technological standpoint. Think of it as fingerprint or iris scanning security...
