    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Update: I love the P3D so much. Getting rid of the BMW M3 tomorrow. It's a dinosaur. Does anyone know how long it takes for us to get the new software? Seems to be on the old UI. Mashing the advanced button and/or rebooting doesn't work, that might be a palcebo. It's been on wifi in the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I get what you mean. Cars aren't an investment. However the M3 and M3P are easily afforable to me. Which is why I have them.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Did your CTS-V not have a LSD? Also those of us shopping for $70k cars probably shouldn't be worrying about gas costs. If so probably shopping in the wrong segment.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    And something I wrote on another site: M3 has noise insulation material is removed to save weight. The Tesla 3 is actually quieter on the inside. It's louder inside than my previous 340i. Handling on the Tesla is in-between my previous 340i and my current M3. Steering is more numb in all...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Look in my history as I compared my F80 M3 to the M3P.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I'm coming from a BMW M3. Agreed the steering is numb, feels like a video game controller. Didn't try to corner too hard. With my BMW M3 I can toss it into corners at almost any speed within reason and feel confident I can stabilize it. The BMW M3's chassis and steering wheel communicates...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Anyone in TEXAS: How long from VIN until you got a payment link? My SA is missing in action. I called the generic number and they told me to wait for a delivery text, then I can pay (?). This seems strange since in Texas you have to pay for the car upfront, then it can be shipped to the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Weird, am I the only one with a 927 VIN? I thought it was a regional thing but other Texas posters are getting the 926 VIN.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Finally got my VIN! Ordered 1/3 in Dallas. Blue/Black M3P. 927XXX Attempt #2 after my 2019 fiasco with the paid-for vehicle but never built car :p

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Eww gross. I'd rather just them leave it in the service center parking lot and I can just Uber there. I don't even let people valet my car, let alone drive it for 30 miles to get it to me.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    That would be me! Fully funded and the car ended up never ended up being built.

    Interesting, looks like they're starting assignment with the East Coast.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I'm in Dallas and ordered 1/4, blue/black M3P. VINs aren't assigned by order date it seems, it's some random sequence as some people in Dallas got their cars before me. Anyway this is still better than my last attempt in 2019: I had a VIN, fully paid for it, waited a whole month and it still...

    LR AWD Performance (Stealth TM3) Waiting Room

    Hey man, I canceled my order and got a refund. My SA ended up contacting Fremont to see what's going on. The pre-production 602 VIN they assigned me is never going to be built as it missed the batch of Stealths back built last December. I don't think you'll ever get a VIN from your November...

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    Their system had unmatched me multiple times even after being fully funded. Now it's gone from source as well. MVPA is still there. I don't think I'm going to ask for rematching with that VIN again as something is obviously wrong. The phone reps sound surprised when they read my order system...

    Lol I'll believe it when I see it. As of today my VIN disappeared... again.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Congrats, at least your car was built! You're a step ahead. Does your car show up here if you plug in your VIN or the last 8 characters of your VIN? Delivery Receipts - United Road We have to pre-pay for our cars here, so I paid for it in December and per the friendly phone rep today it...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Yep they used the identical word "visibility" too. I wonder if it's an internal script they use to dodge questions like that lol.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    The online chat reps can see when vehicles would be produced if you have a VIN?? If so how do you start an online chat? The delivery people told me they have no access to see when my VIN would be actually manufactured.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Well, I've done Euro delivery so has to be ordered. And now I drive M cars so definitely going to order it how I want. And yes, the tech is lightyears ahead, hence why I ordered one. While their product is stellar, their CRM and service sucks.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I've had 5 different BMWs over the last 10 years. And it took 2-3 months to order because they were built in Germany and shipped here. Thus far my Tesla ordering experience has been like walking around with a blindfold. If you custom order a BMW these days they give you this level of granular...

    LR AWD Performance (Stealth TM3) Waiting Room

    Sorry about that, sounds like they screwed you over. Looking at the thread the majority of the people who ordered late November or early December took delivery. I ordered around mid-December and have a VIN/MVPA, fully paid the car already... however no car. They have no idea when it will go...

    Is it possible to find a LR under $40,000?

    Yeah sure, going by a quick search only if you want a lemon or one that's been in a crash. Otherwise it's a still fairly newly released car with high demand and almost no new inventory.

    Is it reasonable to ask Tesla delivery service to improve sound proofing the car?

    Modern luxury ICE cars now have to add fake interior engine noise since the cars are so quiet now.

    Anyone else in Texas still also in pre-production?

    Is it reasonable to ask Tesla delivery service to improve sound proofing the car?

    Search Amazon for "tesla 3 noise reduction kit". There's several of them available, $15-$30.

    Delivered With a Dozen Paint Defects...Am I Being Unreasonable?

    Rejecting a car for some paint chips? Wow. Talk about a disproportionate response to something small. Maybe because I've had like 8 different cars in the past 10 years, but who the heck cares? Unless you're keeping the car hermetically sealed inside your living room forever, this sort of...

    To the person taking delivery of Red M3 with Aeros in Rocklin today...

    OP's skewed sense of self entitlement is hilarious. Stay away from other people's property, period.

    Ready for Tesla to start charging again for pear white

    My (BMW) M3 is white, my first white car ever. I love the color to death now since it stays so cool in the Texas summers, where it can get to 105F+ easily. So ordering my white Tesla P3D- was an easy decision. Would've paid extra for the Pearl White, but glad it was free :D
