Good concerns, because Tesla doesn’t have a PR department or a phone line to actually talk to a live person. Their call tree appears to only connect you to FAQs or voicemail boxes. That said, their auto insurance has been getting sterling reviews, my encounters at our local Service Center have...

After assignment of my VIN, I received a text the next day stating my car would be delivered in 3-5 days to MY HOME ADDRESS. Apparently, if you live within 30 miles of a Service Center, this is their new preferred delivery method. I had to drive to the SC to get it changed to their dealership...

Here’s a quick look of my new MSM/White LR AWD:

Picked up my MSM/White LR AWD w/19” Sport Wheels today. Car appears perfect, so far. Only issue we had was they misspelled our address on our auto registration form and had to reprint it. Also, the lug nut cover key wasn’t in the glove box, so I ordered one from Amazon. You can’t remove the...

Correct. It seems the Tesla call tree only connects you to FAQs and voicemail boxes.

I was confused. My latest sales contract has the reduced price posted in February, however, the original order price from Jan still shows the $1,000 higher price. I thought they were going to change the final sale price back to the original order price, they didn’t. All is well.

It appears they started heated steering wheels with VIN 902xxx series.

I was offered delivery to my house and turned it down because I plan to drive car over directly to a detailer to apply PPF/Ceramic coating after delivery. The detailer is 2 miles from Service Center, but 30 miles from our house.

Tesla builds car in batches by configuration. That's pretty clear by watching what cars are delivered when and where. That suggests that they queue up batches in their lot after production to load on trucks/trains for shipment to destination. I ordered on Jan 2. Delivery is scheduled for...

Well folks, my lurking here is coming to an end. I thought I’d wrap up with a brief history of my wait these past three months to give a head’s up to future buyers. I ordered our new 2021 Model 3 MSM/White LR AWD back on January 2 here in northern CA. After ordering I immediately applied for a...

Just a head’s up folks. After receiving our VIN this evening I noted our quoted sale price for the LR AWD option went up $1,000 to $11,990, which is $500 more than even the current website configurator. I’ve asked our Tesla loan rep about this, but expect we’ll be paying the new price for this...

Just received VIN 926XXX for MSM/White LR AWD w/19” Sport Wheels for delivery March 19-22. Web site says they will contact me to arrange pickup at Rocklin, CA Service Center. Ordered on January 2. Calling insurance carrier to add vehicle to our auto policy in the morning.

We are also planning to drop our car off at PPF/Ceramic detailing shop immediately after delivery, assuming quality is ok. I asked our detailing guy this very question, and he said he does this pretty regularly with no issues. Our car is probably just sitting in the Fremont lot right now...

I’d expect your delivery to be the end of June. Tesla delivers east to west, starting in Europe, and builds in batches. I’ve been waiting since January 2 here in Sacramento, CA, with an expected delivery of the end of March. The only exceptions appear to be people picking up local stock.

I get tint for two reasons, heat rejection and some privacy behind the rear seats for packages I don’t want people seeing. That means probably a 30% rear side window ceramic tint. I’m ambivalent on putting a 70% tint on front side windows, but I am concerned about UV/IR transmission, so...

I believe the SR has the hardware, but it’s not enabled in software. It needs the premium package to be enabled.

I’m sure they do. The FSD is just a software update, and all Teslas likely have it installed, just inactivated until you pay up. Easy for them to select a switch and turn it off. Tesla does its best to standardize whenever it can, and control everything with software. That’s why every Tesla...

All Model 3s with VINs in the 902xxx series and later apparently have the heated steering wheels, which means all current new production.

I believe 902xxx was the approximate transition point for the upgrades. I definitely remember posts of the 902xxx range having the upgrades. Not sure about the 901xxx’s.

May be an available stock item, versus a new build. Perhaps an order that failed to be sold to another customer and ended up sitting in lot. First person to come along and request that configuration got it. A rejection doesn’t mean something’s wrong with car. Perhaps they decided they...

Available stock versus new builds, plus location. Tesla delivers east to west after servicing Europe each quarter, and builds configurations in batches, SR’s before LR’s. My MSM/White configuration is just now going into production for delivery here at the end of the quarter in CA. That means...

VIN, if assigned, should post just under your RN order number.

Tesla builds cars in batches, then delivers east to west, starting in Europe each quarter. I’d guess NY deliveries would hit around the middle of the quarter, depending on order volume. CA deliveries are typically the end of the quarter. I ordered my Model 3 on January 2, with delivery...

I ordered on Jan 2 a MSM/White/Sport Wheels LR AWD here in northern CA. Likely delivery window has changed multiple times from March 27 to March 17 to 1-12 weeks to March 6-26 this evening. The quarter is ending so I suspect I’ll be getting a VIN soon. They just extended my loan window today...

Here in northern CA, full PPF front end/rocker panels, ceramic over all for $3900.

Thanks!

Where is this order tracking spreadsheet of which everyone speaks? When I click on the forum thread for this spreadsheet, it just takes me to another forum where people are posting their order details.

Well, after eight weeks of no unsolicited emails, I received one tonight from my local dealership’s Senior Operations Manager confirming that I’ve completed all my uploads to their site, but they’d now like a photo of our current policy with our other car to confirm insurance active coverage...

CA will likely be the final deliveries this quarter, based on what I’ve observed this quarter. I ordered my MSM/White LR AWD Model 3 on January 2 and have watched as many orders AFTER mine have been delivered this quarter. That, and comments by other posters here, led me to realize that Tesla...

That’s Texas policy. Their ICE dealerships have a lot of power in the state and hate Tesla selling direct to folks.

Great to hear MSM/White interiors are now shipping!

Glad to hear white interiors are now shipping.

Tesla also builds in batches, so they simply haven’t gotten to your configuration yet. I ordered MSM/White interior LR AWD on Jan 2, and don’t expect delivery until late March, even though I’m less than 100 miles from the factory in CA.

It’s pretty clear at this point that Tesla batch produces its cars, and delivers from east to west. We ordered our MSM/White LR AWD Model 3 on Jan 2. Initial delivery window went to March 27, but jumped up to Feb 17 a few times. However, I’ve seen no evidence of MSM/White interior cars being...

Look at farthest delivery date estimate, and back up 60 days, before applying for your loan. Loan quotes are only good for 60 days, so no point in doing immediately when delivery is further out than that, or you’ll have to reapply.

I ordered my Model 3 LR MSM AWD on Jan 2 here in CA and it has bounced back and forth a few times now from March 27 to Feb 17. This morning it’s changed again to Estimated Delivery: February 09 - February 23 I’m excited to see some activity on my account, but now realize until I get a VIN it...

Hmm. Any idea from the VIN as to where this car was built? It’s my understanding that, up to now, only cars for EU, Canada, China were getting the heated steering wheel. I ordered our Model 3 on Jan 2 here in CA and our delivery date is currently late March, so unlikely it’s been built yet...

Apparently Tesla delivers from east to west each quarter, after Europe orders are met. That means those that ordered further east after we did in CA this quarter will be delivered first. Definitely not first come first served. We ordered on Jan 2 and delivery date remains late March for us.

We ordered ours here in CA 1/2/21 with estimated delivery before 3/27/21. That changed twice last week to 2/17/21, then back to 3/27/21, where it stands today. The good news is that some eastern US orders are now updating to earlier than their estimates, which gives me some hope. If it...
