    Wall Connector pin broke off

    Good point, didn’t even think of the warranty because I just assumed this would be one of those things where they would say it’s my fault or something. Just wanted to make sure I’m not at risk of anything by continuing to charge.

    Wall Connector pin broke off

    I went to go supercharge the other day and noticed a piece of plastic in my charge port. I was able to just slip it out easily and once I got home, noticed that it came from my wall connector. Should I be concerned or is this piece just insignificant? Seems like it’s just to help you line...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    FYI for those with a 914xxx VIN, an update seems to have been pushed for all of us. We’re now on 2021.4.12.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yup, confirming that mobile service came out to fix a delivery issue (chip on the charge port reflector) last week and they said we have the latest update at the moment. It’s been almost a week since and still no update. Also, still haven’t had a chance to get better pictures. It’s been all...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I went by 30 minutes before my delivery time (12PM) and my local SA actually pulled the car up and let me look inside and out all over before the appointment time without having to accept delivery immediately. He said it’s actually the first they have seen since October at least. I made payment...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Another update! Just spoke with my DC to confirm delivery and update my financing terms since it was expired. My terms went from 2.44% down to 2.14%!! Same principal amount as well (about 40% down). They said they were super excited since this is the first 2021 M3 performance they've gotten...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    My original configuration (MSM, white interior) was due to come out of the factory on 3/5. So maybe you’ll starting seeing VINs for them in the next couple of days? The internal inventory one that I swooped on had black interior though. They probably cycle week by week maybe?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yeah, I’m just saying the ones that are listed as the same are just because of the wildcards at the end. It’s not their actual last 6 in the VIN.
  10. J

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    If you list your vin in the form as “9143xx” the “x” are wildcards and are replaced with “5” so it would show as 914355, same with if you did something like 9145xx, it would show as 914555.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I ordered 11/11 with the same spec sand my original gate date was expected for March 5th but I vin-matched to an internal inventory car. Not in the same area as you though, but it sounds like most of the performance trims should be getting built next week.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    No worries, it’s definitely a common question. I know that taxes are not something fun to discuss and I’m just glad I understand as much as I do. It all depends on your federal reported gross income (box 1 on your w2) In my case, I’m a government analyst and contribute heavily to my pre-taxed...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Background info: ordered MSM, white interior, 11/11, CVAP grant expires 3/7, Central California Okay so kind of a wild last 30 minutes for me. Another friend of mine (who isn’t my SA) at Tesla saw an MSM with black interior come off the line in Fremont and called our mutual friend who is my SA...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    My friend just texted me saying that he’s seeing my gate date updated to March 5th! I checked my account and the estimated date also reappeared. Time to pray since my CVAP grant expires on March 7th. Estimated Delivery: February 25 - March 16

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Build date is the same as gate date. I would recommend trying to get them to just check the computer to see. Sometimes they’re just lazy, unfortunately.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I don’t know if you’re ignoring every time I respond to you or what, but your SA has access to view your full order details that has a soft match VIN number (if it’s there), estimated delivery date, and a scheduled gate date (it should be there because it’s assigned by demand planning). The...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I wouldn’t say it’s BS necessarily. VIN assignment occurs when it passes a certain point in production. Could be possible it’s one of the last ones to roll off the line or it’s one of the ones moved to Lathrop for finalization and then was assigned? My build date was originally 2/23 and is now...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Sounds like what my friend told me is pretty credible if word from other people are similar? This is in regards to when I had said that the model 3/Y line were stopped. We guessed assumed it was S/X related for retooling, but it sounds like it’s both for retooling and waiting for stock to flow...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I ordered 11/11, same exact build. My approx. build date is also showing as 3/18. Estimate date on my account page is blank though. Doesn’t even say “estimate date” anymore either.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Call your SA and ask for your vehicle’s gate date. Their system will show it.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I didn’t know that. My understanding was that they retool the line each time their production cycle changes for each model. Their production schedule seems to produce one model at a time while rotating between supply/vehicle production. So while one model is building built, the others are in the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Just spoke with my friend and the factory told him that their production numbers are changing atm, more than likely due to the new model S and X. They closed down parts of the factory for it. My build date was inching up for a while and was expected 2/23, now it’s showing as 3/18. My delivery...

    When did your estimate update to show next quarter?
  26. J

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    It’ll probably stay the same for you then. My estimate is Feb 18th - March 18th. I’m expecting it to come back as Feb 19th - March 18th. Not sure if my gate date has changed but I’ll check in with my friend and see what he says.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    My delivery date disappeared too. This happened pretty often to me last quarter. Usually it’ll just update with today/tomorrow’s date - whatever date was the max for you. My friend said the site is just buggy.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Was just looking at the Tesla site because I have nothing better to do. Did anyone else notice that they raised the price of the performance trim by 1k to $55,990?
  29. J

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I’m not tooooooo angry. Mostly just at the part where some of us were assigned VINs at the end of last quarter and had it all disappear on Dec. 30th/31st, only to find that the cars were reassigned to others at the beginning of January. A close friend of mine is at Tesla so he gives me regular...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Just wanted to jump in to say VIN assignment isn’t sequential for the Model 3, it’s all over the place. Such a mixed feeling. Happy for them and that they’re back in production, but sad that I still don’t have mine and I ordered on 11/11. Expecting my VIN next week though...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Oops, I’m sorry, I should have clarified. I meant I changed my interior from black to white. I misread what the last person had said about changing colors. Exterior color shouldn’t bump you back, but the trim would. This was the case last quarter (Q4 2020) where they had a delay on parts to...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I wonder if it’s based on color. Which color did you switch to? I switched mine from back to white and my timeline didn’t change. Friend said it doesn’t change my place in line either. Maybe by switching to white it bumped me up?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    From my friend, he just checked this morning when he got in. If you have an SA, you can call them and ask for what it says in their system. It’s not always 100% accurate though since the dates can fluctuate quite a bit.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    My gate date moved up again to February 23rd! Last date was for March 4th and before that it was March 18th.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Tbh, they don’t have very much information to work with, lol. He’s sent me screenshots that I’ve uploaded here and they get almost no updates from the factory too. Most of the SAs seem pretty annoyed since they have to deal with the factory fallout at the end of last quarter. It was beyond their...

    Close college friend who is also my SA. Started at Tesla 6 years ago and is now in a senior role. He checks the system for me and pulls up my order and where it’s at in the factory’s planning schedule. 3/4 as in March 4th. It does change quite often though. A couple weeks ago after everyone’s...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Ordered 11/11, MSM with white interior (just changed from black). After getting a VIN at EOY and having it removed the day before delivery, my latest update is that it should gate around 3/4. Not a guaranteed date, but should give some of us an idea of when we might see them coming out for us CA...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yeah, no worries! I’ll check back in when it does expire. It’s either 60 or 90 days, but I’ll let you know when it happens. Right now my financing is for 72mo at 2.44% via Chase.
  39. J

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    They will still have your application from the initial hard pull. If it already expired, then they’ll just do a soft pull to make sure nothing significant has changed and reapply the current terms on the “new” offer. Mine should be expiring in a few days since I applied back in November.
  40. J

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    If it’s through Tesla and your financing expired, the second pull will be a soft pull. It shouldn’t change your rate from before.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    The only benefit was at the end of the quarter when they were still trying to deliver cars out as quickly as possible. Fremont has the highest chance of getting a match before their production line is retooled for overseas builds. Basically all of us that had VINs assigned, and then later had...

    Same. There was a chance of getting a delivery if you changed your DC to Fremont, but that has passed since all performance Models are out of the factory now. Looks like we’re all in for another long wait...

    Heated steering wheel isn’t in place yet. It will be with all builds beginnings mid January and on. Factory planning said they do not get the same things as China, so don’t expect the zero g wheels or the door trim. HEPA filter will only be on the Y and it’s unknown when they’ll be in the US.

    Sadly, this is not true. The factory hasn’t put them in yet, but will begin the third/fourth week of January.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Haven’t made any calls to a DC. One of my closest friends is my “SA” and he doesn’t know why it’s not showing anything and that it’s occurring systemwide. He looked at all cars across California and sees nothing now. He’s not sure why the factory is holding all performance cars from being...
