This was one of the things that sold me on a Tesla, the direct-drive, feeling like you can hold a gear thing. I'd always driven a manual before my Tesla, I still think it's the best way to completely and precisely exercise control of a combustion engine, the paddle thing just never felt right...

I took delivery of my 2021 Model 3 Long Range in Midnight Silver Metallic with 19" wheels Thursday evening. To say this whole process was easy other than waiting a few weeks was an understatement. Greatest car I’ve ever owned hands down by a wide margin. Great quality and panel fitment. It...

Everyone is different. For mine, I logged into my account this morning, saw there was a VIN, and a second later the page refreshed itself and moved it up to today through the 27th of this month. Yesterday, I didn't have a VIN and my delivery said 9/8 thru 28. I pick my car up Thursday.

I did not get an email, I just check it every few hours. The screen looked different and I saw that the vin had been put in and the dates swung up considerably!

It looks like a bunch of VINs are coming in 7/23 order. MSM 19” sport black no FSD. Edd was 9/8 - 9/28 until 30 min ago when I got my vin. Now says 8/24-8/27. Chicago area. I’ll let you guys know when I get a text and schedule my appointment to pick her up.

Yes, and this website did it to me. I've never so compulsively refreshed my order page of anything until I came here lol.

I changed my payment method without any effect to the delivery date. Call them and do it over the phone, it takes 2 minutes.

My EDD has stayed put at 9/8 thru 9/28 for about four or five days now and I ordered exactly one month ago to the day.

I have had lots of enthusiast type cars over the years... 6 BMW's, 2 Minis, a GTI, an WRX (current DD, 2018 silver with a 6 speed), etc. and I am noticing lots of people going from those types of cars to Model 3s, especially long ranges and performances. I am stoked to be making the switch and...

I ordered 7/23 and was 9/1 - 9/21 for the last two weeks now I am 9/8 - 9/28. It has not gone out further than the 28th however.

For anyone in the Chicago area, there are 2 new 2021 M3LR's right now in MSM with FSD, one has sport wheels, the other aero. Demo vehicles with 400-600 miles.

There was something about that old 20th century method of buying a car that worked for a really long time. Loading the family up and picking a new Taurus wagon was cool. I'm glad I can swipe on my phone and buy a car now but still, driving to the lot etc.

That'll be 4 now. I considered a Model 3 last year, but bought a 2018 WRX with a manual transmission instead. At the time I wasn't sure I was ready to go EV so I decided to get "the car I wanted in high school" so to speak. It was fun to have one last daily driver manual sports car and live...

Beautiful paint finish - wow. Enjoy and good for you!

I ordered M3LR Midnight Silver with sport wheels and black interior on 7/23, initially November, then 9/1 thru 9/21, then 9/8 - 9/28, now back down to 9/1 thru 9/21.

I completed everything as quickly as possible even though I might need to re-do the loan since I won't take delivery within the 30 days, but that was my personal preference. I wanted things to feel complete.

Awesome!!! Good luck!!!

This thread has me cracked out lol. I ordered the car and checked once a day or every other day and now I'm checking 2-3x a day for an update. And this is by no means the longest I've waited for a car. I ordered 7/3 am still at 9/2-9/22.

Mine was 9/1-9/21 now 9/2-922.

I owned an XKE for 11 years. I've owned 4 of them. This post made me chuckle. They also used lead in some instances in the 1940s. Fond, fond memories of those cars.

The new car has the insulated glass that the older car doesn't. For me, that was one of the biggest determining factors. I watched a few YouTube reviews comparing the 2020 to 2021, and it was obvious the 2021 was the better car. Once I heard about the difference and how much quieter the new...

Been sitting on 9/1 - 9/21 EDD for a few days now. No movement makes me feel better than it getting pushed back out.

Speaking personally, my SA was the person that answered the call at the local store I rang to ask some questions about the cars. I placed the order over the phone and he shot me a text with his info afterwords. I think some people are assigned one after they order online.

EDD was 9/10-9/30 yesterday, now 9/1-9/20.

I ordered July 23rd and it said November until yesterday. It now says September 10-30. My car is midnight silver with sport wheels and I didn’t get the self driving add on.

That was my thinking also. Not an accountant but it looks like I can deduct the entire amount from my taxes. I put my order in a little over a week ago and the page did not say anything as I completed the pre delivery tasks. It now says November. After reading this thread a few times over...

Great information, thanks for your post.

If you don't mind me asking, what are the agreements?

I don't care for the Uberturbine wheels. It's one of the reasons I went with a Model 3 Long Range AWD with the 19" Sport Wheels instead of the Performance.

I put my order in for a Model 3 Long Range with silver midnight paint and 19 inch wheels on the 23rd. I think it said 10 weeks or so. I completed all the pre delivery tasks in my account yesterday after receiving a text from my advisor that I'd be more likely to get a car if I completed...

I wasn't aware of any incentives or bills being passed but it wouldn't really influence my purchase. I just put in an order the other day and I'm looking forward to taking delivery of my car as quickly as I can.

Hi again guys. I decided to go ahead and move forward with an order. I put in an order the other day for a Model 3 Performance in Midnight Silver Metallic with Black Interior. After a couple of weeks of research on the car and figuring out how to best install a charging station at home, I'm...

I would love to take you up on that. Exchange contact info via pm? This was my first thought after driving it for the first time. I have two gas toys, a Jag E-Type (will always own it) and a Morgan 3 Wheeler (keeping for now), but internal combustion really is archaic for anything other than...

OP again, I decided to rent one on Turo and take it for a spin and home tonight. It is a 2018 Model 3 with full self driving capability. It has been a blast so far. Here's what stuck out to me the most. It's a very easy vehicle to get used to. I got used to driving it at low speeds within...

Thank you Dolomite! Yeah I’m no one special, and actually know little to nothing about what the M3P is going up against - to be honest not concerned with the performance or comparing it to much just more so trying to figure out whether it’ll “feel” right since it’s so different. You have given...

Wow - incredible responses from everyone; I really appreciate you all taking the time to give me some thoughts, all of which are helpful. A couple of things that resonate so far: I am definitely going to look into the "Stealth" version of the car as well. The harshness and potential...

Hey all - my name's Royal, from Chicago IL. I'm a recovering/stubborn old school car guy warming up to the idea of ditching ICEs for my daily driver. For my entire life I have always enjoyed driver focused analog style cars, and I've had many of them, (example: I've owned every generation of 3...
