    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    If this is re: my recent photos of the green M3, it’s vinyl, just got it installed last week. I think it looks pretty good! Already have gotten more compliments from strangers, than I did the entire 10+ years I had a BMW…

    Vendor TeslaShields Update #18

    I received my mats for my ‘22 Model 3 the other day. Ordered mid-November, so it ended up being just about a 90 day wait from order to delivery. The mats are adequate.

    Vendor TeslaShields Update #14 and 15

    So this was a lie. And now it’s looking like my prediction of mid-to-late January for delivery of M3 ‘20-22 floor mats was actually overly optimistic. Appears more & more that this company has no experience, and grossly overestimates their ability to deliver a product, or even to provide...

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

    Update on some of my issues: mobile service came out today, and the tech was not aware I was missing USB ports & missing wireless charging! I also had two minor trim fitment issues, and when my original mobile service appt got pushed because the usb hub part hadn’t arrived, I think they didn’t...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My car also came via Cleveland before delivery in MI. I guessed that Cleveland was a sort of regional distribution center, or maybe where MI deliveries go first. Could be wrong. Enjoy your car! I’m relieved to hear you are finally getting delivery soon! Got mine back from the PPF & tint the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    FYI I paid $2400 for full front half PPF. In Detroit. Very happy with the quality of work done. Price seems in line with another member’s 2-2.6k estimate.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’m getting full front (front bumper, full hood, front quarter panels, A pillars, side mirrors) + side rocker panels. Also getting all windows (20%/35%) + windshield (70%) tinted. Got two quotes, one from One Soul Graphics in Livonia, the other from Midnight Protective Films in Troy, who...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This is just wrong, not fair, and terrible business practice IMO. I have identical config, same delivery location, and ordered 10 days AFTER you. And I got my car 12/1, while you have a possible February delivery. Wtf!? I think we discussed already the only difference was I entered cash...

    Vendor TeslaShields Update #14 and 15

    So if I interpret your data at the bottom of update #15 right, does that mean the ETA is the estimated date the container will arrive at the port? 12/5, 12/9, 12/24 for containers 4-6? Then there will be unloading from the ship. Then transport to your facilities, then sorting, packing, and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Looked at the wheel settings and the current aero cover set up most closely resembles what I'll have with the Rimetrix covers. So I'll keep the config the same. Rimetrix claims efficiency very close to the OEM aero covers. Not going to stress much if it's off by 10-20 miles. Weather &...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Update on the missing USB ports / wireless charging saga for my vehicle: mobile service called this morning, said they are still waiting on the parts to arrive locally so need to push back my mobile service appt. Don't have an estimated delivery date for the parts, but the mobile tech did say...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I have not heard about this feature / request from the car. Is it buried in vehicle settings somewhere, or in the manual? My plan was to just replace the covers and drive as normal. I am following the advice of setting the battery display to % and not worrying about range. I know Rimetrix has...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    FYI for you or anyone else curious about these…I placed my order for them on Nov 7. They shipped late last week and UPS tracking has them getting delivered tomorrow 12/6. I think they look much better than the aero covers the wheels came with.

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

    Delivery day today at Clarkston, MI for my LR. Missing front usb charge ports, and wireless charging. The delivery center employee I talked to about it seemed completely caught off guard. Went back to the service area to verify the condition, came back and said, yes, I should have been...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Delivery day today at Clarkston, MI. It was not very busy, just a few others picking up their cars. OD 9/24. EDD bounced around a bunch, but today was the day! Received messages from the delivery center both yesterday and the day before asking if I wanted to take the car early. My...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This was my thinking for taking delivery next week. Chance the bill takes additional months to pass, chance you go to end of line and are looking at March or later delivery. Chance Tesla decides to change the rules & cancels all orders on hold & raises prices, or something else. Tesla doesn’t...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Have delivery scheduled for 12/1 in Clarkston, MI. OD: 9/24/21 VIN: 11/20 White/white/18”/no FSD Some things that might be interesting: The tile in the app “we’re building your car” never changed, until after I selected a delivery time & date today. Now that tile just has the delivery...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yea possibly. I did the cash at first because I had read somewhere that was the recommended route for getting VIN quickest. I definitely feel for folks like you & EV70, waiting longer than others with same config & same delivery location, but not getting VIN. My EDD did jump back & forth a few...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I received my VIN yesterday 11/20. VIN was displayed in the app, and later in the day I received a call from Tesla, asking if I still wanted to move forward, & about finalizing payment. FYI for those in MI, due to (antiquated dealership) state laws, we must pay in full before Tesla will ship...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Received VIN this morning, was displayed within the app when I checked it. 2022 model, and EDD moved up to 11/22 - 11/28, a pleasant surprise. Now I’m waiting for contact from Tesla to schedule delivery. No plan to delay to next year, as I still suspect even if the EV tax rebate passes...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Also seeing the updated app today. I prefer this method for completing pre-delivery tasks, though none are available to me until I get my VIN. I also got a narrowed EDD this morning to: 12/7 - 12/21 OD: 9/24 White/white/18”/no FSD Detroit Hoping to get allocation this time around. Has anyone...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Interesting your experience about the road noise. I test drove a 2021 LR with Aero wheels 2 days ago, and was pleasantly surprised how quiet the road & wind noise was. Even at 80-90mph on the concrete highway. Maybe I had read all the reports about road noise in the M3 and was expecting the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ouch! Where did you get the Feb estimate from? Latest EDD or talk to someone? Currently feeling passed over in Michigan with 12/1 - 12/29 EDD, which just feels like a generic "placeholder EDD" with no clue when the car will be made. OD: 9/24/21 White/white/18"/no FSD Detroit No VIN yet I'm...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This may well be the case, and an apt way to describe Tesla’s distribution system! I think what got my hopes up was seeing the recent Florida deliveries with a range of different configurations. Got me thinking Tesla would batch produce the cars (all types) and then ship regionally once an...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Woke up to an updated EDD today. Here’s my data: OD: 9/24/21 Initial EDD during order: December EDD #1: 11/4 - 12/4 EDD #2: 11/23 - 12/7 EDD #3: 12/1 - 12/29 <- current EDD No VIN, no plan to delay to 2022 Config: white/white/18”/no FSD Location: Detroit Disappointing after seeing...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yea pretty crazy, I assume we are both picking up from Clarkston? I will add that I filled in all possible paperwork as soon as I could. Cash payment (until I get a VIN), entered my current insurance (which will need to get updated, but figured it was better to have “something” in their system...

    Feasibility of Tesla for Job with a lot of miles

    I’m in a very similar work situation as you. Self employed and travel for sales in MI, OH, IN, PA region. Constantly. 1500-2000 miles driven per week. Meaning around 70k+ miles a year. Current vehicle is a BMW 3 series with 325k miles. As much as I love that car, the past few months it’s been...
