Also, those white marks on the door side (lower half of the picture) were just threads from my clothes (trying to dry off, saw them and went back and checked afterwards). I was concerned for a second because it resembled the deep cut that I had elsewhere in the car from a service visit (they...

Snow Hats were the best (and I love the big flurries) until I realized that they were dangerous. If I had a longer driveway I'd consider just flooring it for a second or two and letting most of the snow just fly off (after a bit of a preheat)

Whew. That's great to hear! Triple thank you! I'll schedule something with a local detailer, probably get a ceramic coating while I'm at it.... Once I do, I can post how successful||not it was. (Also forgot to thank everyone for their product suggestions and their ways of navigating the situation)

@Adam3 and @KenC I have to admit your message amongst the fervor was a motivating factor in posting this during the workday :D Sorry about the moisture accumulation, I can come back and add more photos if useful, but here are a couple prime examples (paint pun not intended?) of the damage. One...

Thank you, I appreciate it! Next time it snowed, I seriously did # 2 but for less time. Will add pics sometime! Wasn't even in a rush, was unfortunately just ignorance. Earnestly, the motivation was just so I don't have any lingering ice on my car. Always is my pet peeve (and actually...

Yes that is correct, I used the plastic part to remove ice off the paint (as I don't believe a brush could have done such a task). Definitely needed a CyberTruck :D LOL

Hey all, just trying to get a real sense of how I should feel after I damaged the paint on my Tesla Model 3 Performance (2021)... Saved up for 7 years just to give it scratches all over in the first blizzard :'D. Has missing paint inside the doors, underneath the frunk (hidden) etc. I love the...

I should probably watch his video! Thanks for the heads up, especially since safety is a major selling point of the car for me. Speaking of safety, the car avoided its first accident today. Car in front of me abruptly stopped due to it getting freaked out by a car in the opposing lane of...

Yea you have every right. I'm hoping yours comes out pristine! :fingers-crossed In my specific case the door closing issue was the placement of the metal latch. Was a 2 minute fix on their part. I don't believe that itself has any issue to do with the frame. Seems more likely to be poor...

Honestly factors of desire and uncertainty being of greater weight than my patience which was overtaxed at the time. If you want the in depth answer: Having ordered in September, already refused delivery once with the thought that I would get a car in October-November (with the rumored...

Note: Still have to watch the OP video, but... Yea my delivery experience and quality were unfortunately very disappointing. Just so people don't believe I'm a sour grape because it doesn't match their experiences, I am otherwise incredibly happy every time I drive the car. I just try not to...

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but the new Pirelli P Zero summer tires that the Model 3 Performance has switched to, also has noise-cancelling foam inside. Saw them when I got this switched, can take a photo if folks are interested

For what it's worth (and it may not be much), my delivery specialist told me that all the 2021 AWD and Performance Model 3s now have the 82 kwh battery. I have taken delivery but haven't seen any identifiers yet (haven't tried incredibly hard to find it, just looked when they were swapping my...

Saw a BUNCH of deliveries happening with mine this morning. I didn't catch any other performance models 3s there though.

Unfortunately those won't fit, thank you though! Luckily got something setup for tires for tomorrow! Will try to get a few pictures up of the blue exterior/white interior if folks are interested! Got it this morning! Some minor build quality issues but nothing that I decided was worth extending...

Taking delivery tomorrow morning! Winter tires scheduled to be changed to the day after! Driving every day after that :D

Any update on this? I might be interested. With wheels or not, type of tire, and how many seasons worth of wear?

:( Sorry to hear about that yea. I'm nervous about it. Unhappy that there was no option for us to get the car with winter/all season tires in the midst of the winter months here :( Thank you for the added info though!

Model 3 Performance, Blue Exterior, White Interior, FSD. Might be worth a call midday tomorrow to check! Excited for you as well!

Taking delivery now on the 9th with a small chance of tomorrow instead! The delivery truck is currently planning it's route from Newark to the Boston area.

I'm having second thoughts given that our temperatures up here are mild and often go above the 45 degree marker. o_O

I'm not getting new wheels this time around, I couldn't commit to something in time and all the options are now backordered. I ended up ordering Michelin - Pilot Alpin PA4's that I'm going to be switching off the uberturbines. Hopefully that's okay to do a few times. I may eventually look into...

Mostly now concerned about delivery now that we're getting our first snowfall tonight. Never driven on Summer tires in the winter. Have been an all-season-tire (in winter climates) my whole driving life Winter tires have been ordered as well, just will be from CostCo and have to schedule a date...

Supposedly they will. I have seen mention of this on the forums as well. Doesn't stop me from checking in though and trying to push that process along myself. It's either the Illusion of Control or I've slightly expedited my timeline. Either way, I'm happier than if I just sat around? Maybe? Is...

Not yet, 6 days away from current scheduled delivery. Hoping I can get it even sooner. Apparently it's in the NY region as of earlier today, so could be as little as 6 hours away :eek: Tesla resources must be ecstatic to get me this car so I no longer constantly contact someone about it :D

My guess (or at least hope) would be that the people who ordered after you who are getting their VINs and/or vehicles delivered before you are in regions where Tesla is sending other owner's cars who ordered before you and this is more-so optimizing for max # of deliveries per truckload/batch...

Yea this seems to be the delivery mechanism. As my car is still reportedly at the "transfer station in Chicago". Makes sense. Chicago is relatively speaking a good central point.

Sigh, makes so much sense, especially since the M3P comes standard with summer tires (and that the warranty at least of the Michelin Pilot Sport S's are (potentially) voided if driven under a certain temperature threshold, probably the same with Pirelli's). Is this price difference reflected in...

Talked to my SA again (poor guy) and it's still in the area outside of Chicago. From there he'll be able to give more accurate estimates since it'll be transported to a different delivery system which reportedly has more accurate estimates. The reason I'm writing is that I confirmed that us...

How did you get them to come with Winter Tires :D No luck here in the US. Regardless, viel Spaß!

Massachussetts

Mine is Blue Exterior, White Interior, delivery scheduled on the east cost on the 10th

Wish it was more easily accessible but my SA told me. They must have tracking information.

Delivery scheduled for the 10th, car is reportedly currently outside of Chicago (and estimated to arrive on the 9th). Estimated window was previously 6-12.

Have delivery scheduled for Dec 10th. I'm in MA, and apparently the transport is somewhere outside of Chicago currently (estimated to arrive in MA on the 9th)

Woah, congrats!!

Got assigned my VIN for a M3P! Still waiting instructions for solidifying the delivery date

I have a VIN! Delivery date is now showing again with a delivery date between Dec 7 - 14 with an option to add payment now

Got in the first wave of texts, but not the second. I'm merely just confused at this point.

Yea it's very hard to trust anything sales people say. They usually don't have any authoritative knowledge, despite at times speaking confidently. My experience is that if you take the time to search for news, including on these forums, you are already more informed than your average Tesla...

I think it's just a coping mechanism due to my delivery date vanishing from view (past the original estimate window of October 17-Nov 14) and the exhaustion of checking every day for new updates, but I've lost all excitement. Can't wait for a VIN to show up and a delivery date to be scheduled to...

Maybe I'm being a little tongue in cheek given the current transition over to the refresh (where otherwise delivery timings could be more accurate?)

I'm basically under the impression that nothing matters (not this text message that recently went out, not the delivery timeline in your tesla account, etc.) except for when they message you that a VIN has been assigned and to schedule your delivery time. Other than that, the delivery date is a...

Looks like my sales advisor was overly optimistic in his estimations. Still waiting for VIN assignment. Tomorrow we'll hit the last day of my expected delivery window before entering the 'late' territory. Estimated delivery window is October 17 - November 14. I got that mass text stating 3-7...

My sales advisor told me they're starting to see VINs and expect I'll be assigned one soon with a delivery (unless I misunderstood him to mean VIN assignment) even possible next week. Of note, I ordered in September and pushed back to deliver.
