    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just took delivery of my Model 3. What an experience. The staff was friendly, excited for me, and kept congratulating me. My SA even gave my 1 year old daughter her own Model 3 toy. The car is honestly as good quality as I could have hoped for. I looked it over closely and didn’t see anything to...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Agreed. I know we’re going to love our cars and probably forget about the crappy waiting experience, but there is definitely plenty of room for improvement here. If it makes you west coast guys feel any better, there will be a three day gap between getting my VIN and taking delivery, and I’m in...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    There haven’t been many posts in here recently... are the bad quality issues rare occurrences these days? I’m taking delivery tomorrow and trying to have realistic expectations

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Oh no.... I hope I don’t run into this tomorrow with my delivery. I wonder how common it is to see cases such as this

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know if Tesla staff is careful with taking care of the paint while washing the car as part of delivery prep? Like avoiding putting swirl marks on the car right off the truck? I’m just starting my new-car journey so I don’t know what’s typical with...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My pickup was scheduled for Monday but I was able to move it forward to tomorrow afternoon. It’s getting real. Hopefully the earlier pickup still allows them to clean it properly and stuff.

    Did you finally get one?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got the delivery text this morning. They only had Saturday and Monday available. I had to schedule for Monday. I’m so close!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    If it makes you feel any better, I was told the exact same thing last weekend. Except my SA called me back after ten minutes, not ten hours....

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You look thrilled, I’m excited for you! ...but dang, I was hoping that the days of bad gaps and finicky doors were over. I hope you’re enjoying it nonetheless and that they get everything fixed up for you. edit: I love its name btw lol

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Does anyone know how home delivery works? I would imagine someone drives it from the SC to your house rather than Tesla coming by with an actual truck and trailer, right?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    After getting my VIN today my delivery estimate has narrowed to 17-21. That’s by this Sunday! I went from hopelessly waiting in the dark to being blinded by the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just got my VIN!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It’s happening! I’ll be refreshing all day now

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    We’ve known all along that west coast deliveries happen at the end of the quarter. There is still plenty of time.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same thing happened to me in Utah. I called about “existing” inventory yesterday but it hadn’t actually been built yet
  17. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Jk. SA already called me back and said the system won’t let him match the car since it hasn’t finished production yet. However, he said it shows that Utah cars are being built really soon. Back to patiently waiting I guess

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just got a hold of the service center and they were a little thrown off because the white/white on their page supposedly hasn’t finished production yet. That said, my SA mentioned that it was odd the system didn’t automatically match it to me since it’s the exact same configuration. He’s going...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yo wtf. I was about to say that Utah never has inventory available but my exact configuration is sitting there right now with less than 50 miles. It’s got to be a canceled order right? Or less likely, one that rejected due to quality? I feel like that’s not nearly as common these days. Now I...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It’s good to finally see some white interior VINs coming in
  21. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Also from a quick and likely imperfect search it looks like most if not all LR VINs received in the last several days are only for the black interior. Hopefully the sun shines upon us white interior people soon

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My estimated delivery date narrowed down today after the change from “5-9 weeks”. It now says March 15-23, which is the smallest it’s been. I wonder if that means a VIN is around the corner.

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    I bought the applicator and two products from Chemical Guys. “Nonsense all purpose cleaner” for deep cleaning the tires and “VRP Vinyl, rubber, plastic shine and protectant”. The VRP supposedly gives it a good natural shine but not the 10/10 glossy look that you might see in a car collection...

    Orbital Wheel Covers

    I 100% thought the same thing. Already ordered some even though my wheel covers probably won’t ship until late March/early April.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I know this has been asked but have we determined that most VIN notifications come via text/email or just by stumbling upon it through the account page? I just want to make sure my repeated refreshing isn’t all a waste of time.
  26. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was thinking the same thing. It seems like most white/white are still waiting

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I vaguely remember my estimation dates being part of my dreams last night. I can’t wait till this is over lol

    Every time I refresh my account page I know very well I’m just setting myself up for disappointment

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The good news is that the average wait time between receiving the VIN and picking up the car seems to be only 4 days in Utah from what I’ve seen on the sheet and from the chart that another user here put together.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’m picking up from Salt Lake too. White/white ordered on 1/31. My estimate is also 3/12-3/31. No VIN yet. I reached out to my SA via text to see if he had any inside information but he didn’t have any. He *guessed* that I would get my VIN this week but I’m starting to doubt that. When I visited...

    Man all these people getting their VINs and delivery dates. Cmon, Tesla, let me join the party!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I load up on TSLA during the big dip, TSLA goes to the moon, I use the profits to buy Model 3 accessories from Tesla. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing
  34. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Very nice. You’re not too far away from me so hopefully that means my VIN is just around the corner.
  35. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Still waiting on my VIN as well. Utah, white/white, 1/31
  36. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well I loaded up on TSLA shares this morning during the dip so I feel like I did my part

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    A guy here in Utah is taking delivery of a SR+ today after getting his VIN like five days ago. Looks like people in even California have VINs and imminent deliveries of SR+ from the little research I’ve done. Yet it seems like the Performance guys have it even worse than we do. You’d think Tesla...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    On the spreadsheet the last week of November and first week of December were averaging like 15 vins a day. Now, the same supposed crunch time in the quarter, it’s about two vins a day. I wonder what’s going on?
  42. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Back to 5-9 weeks for me

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    We’re all just going to get a surprise color and won’t find out which one until we take delivery.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Lol I thought the same thing. Like damn I’m not reading that novel.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’m getting a little obsessed with the delivery of this car. I have a playlist of carefully picked songs that I can vibe to on the 45 minute drive home after picking it up lol.
  47. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Utah, white/white. March 11-31. It’s funny, there’s basically no difference from the “5-9 weeks” range but for some reason it makes me feel a lot better
  48. M

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I may be wrong but I would GUESS that with there being four weeks left in the quarter and you being in Colorado you should still see it this month.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I have the suspicion that they’ve been hammering out the black interior again and that we’ll be waiting a few days for the white interiors to start rolling out for us western guys.
