    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    I like that idea. I would have a few stops to employ that strategy at, giving me a great "excuse" to drive the car a bunch. Hope your VIN shows up directly!

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    Vin 1736x popped up today. I'm trying to keep my progress toward pending delivery secret from family and friends. It's hard to keep my excitement tamped down, because people are always asking for an update. So far, i can honestly say i still don't know when i will get the car. This little "game"...

    How does it do over driveway curbs and speedbumbs?

    Quick help regarding Supercharging

    Face it, rickjames. You're just a very lucky guy! Already own and enjoying your Model 3 -- check. Everything works great -- check. Tesla treats your Model 3 like an S or X -- check!! Roll with it and enjoy it while it lasts.

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    Invited yesterday (4/6), saw it online just before my wife said she got an e-mail (she's the alternate contact), about 3:00 pm. Configured today (4/7). I waited in line on 3/31/16, reserved about 12:25 PST in Bellevue, WA. It was a really long line, in both directions. After considering...

    First impressions in wet conditions

    Thanks for taking the time to evaluate your new Model 3 in the wet, @nitzmahone. As a denizen of the greater Puget Sound region (and anxious line waiter), I have struggled with the decision of one vs two motors because of our weather. Your excellent post really helps. We have a 4WD Toyota...

    Franz von Holzhausen personally delivered my Model 3

    Best first post ever! The best part is it happened to someone who truly appreciated it. Congratulations!

    Is this the Model 3 screaming bargain alternative?

    If you can't bear the wait for your M3 (the bright side is production issues should be worked out by then), perhaps you could use that spare time to monitor the certified pre-owned (CPO) Model S market. You might find one to your liking with free lifetime Tesla charging network access.

    Advice: How to get tech-averse wife to embrace Model 3

    I can definitely relate to this --- as the aging parent. I'm hoping this car will keep me mobile for years into the future. Especially is the suggestions here don't convince my bride to embrace this new technology.

    ETA for Model 3 White and Tan Interior?

    Personally, I would prefer cream/tan. C'mon Tesla, throw us a bone and let us know that will be in the option mix. So far, nothing, so I'm thinking like @Daniel in SD -- a black interior is in my future. More palatable than white for us.

    Sunk-in hood

    Just saw my first M3 in the Bellevue, WA showroom. They just received it a week ago. After reading this forum, the hood was one of the first things I looked at. Indeed, it was "below grade" most significantly on the driver's side, pretty noticeable if you're looking for it. As I write this, I...

    Heater DOA

    Your experience is an excellent reminder to take our time at delivery and make sure that everything functions correctly. HVAC and seat heaters are added to my checklist now. I will resist the rush. Thanks for sharing.

    I have learned to read TMC posts with a great deal of salt

    I would like to try that excuse, but so far my 2004 Camry won't cooperate. Actually a good problem to have, considering the schedule slide. Still, I'll definitely be ready when my M3 is. Definitely!

    Speculation: configuration queue for non owner line waiters

    Thank you. Hope you have no regrets in a few months. Speaking as a grandparent, I'm very aware how fast the time can pass.

    The All-Important Golf Clubs Question ... Answered

    clmason, thanks for the picture. It looks like the back seat is up. Do you think with the back seats folded down, two bags and carts will fit? Waiting for my config invitation, will be replacing a 2003 Camry that can easily accommodate two bags/carts with the seats folded.
